Basketball Game With Wilson Boro on Saturday
Evening Causing Much Interest-Literary
Program Packs Auditorium
During the past weelt considerable interest is manifested in tlie big bas- Icetbali games with Wilson Borough thit^ Saturday evening on the home floor. Last year Wilson came here ^\-ith about 100 rooters, a special car having been chartered for same. This year they are coming under .similar conditions with stronger teams than ever. The local boys and girls are getting ready for the fray in good shiire and will meet them unllinch- ingiy. It will be one of the biggest games of the season.
The literary program on Friday evening was beyond a doubt the ^e3t of the season. The very 'fact that every seat in the auditorium was filled and some not able to sacure Beats indicated that it was out of the ordinary. The Freshmen cliorus was well rendered and very much appre- ciati'd. The reading and declama¬ tion by Anna Happle and Florence luerly were excellent. Then came the Sophomore play in which the 'Carrying Out of a Theory" was plainly demonstrated, and proven conclusively.
The debate between the Freshmen aiul Sophomores proved very inter¬ esting. Splendid preparations made it iiossibie to holt' the attention of the audience. Ii uas good and snap¬ py. Although the Sophomores lost, they deserve a lot of credit for their brave stand.      The     judg(.'s.     Revs.

¦Then the Freshmen play, "Burg¬ lars" was well executed and higlily interesting. The piano duet by Mir¬ iam Wunderly and Isabeile Flick was very good.
Several more programs may bo arranged during the next month or two if time wiil permit.
The Freshmen had a very import¬ ant class meeting on .Monday even¬ ing when they adopted a constitu¬ tion and by-laws. They have, also been considering the purchase of a beautiful picture. This is a long I'.onored custom of the Freshmen class.
A number of visitors were at High school during the past weelt. We hoiie more will come and see what is really done. Among them was .Julia liarndt, Elfrieda Schubert, Sherman rhler and Mr. Keller, seniors of Pen Argyi.

Qulnton S. Leopold, of Nazareth, is again in Daytona, Florida, after the harrowing experience' of being lost at sea from Friday until Mon¬ day as the result of a trip on the marineplane New 'V'ork, which broke a propeilor and landed the party in tiie Gulf stream. Mr. Leopold, the official representative ot the Rajah Temple of Reading, was attending the ceremonies at the opening of the new Mahi Temple at Miami. He stopped in Daytona on his way south to visit his friends, Mr. and Mrs. C. C.   Nicholson  ot    Magnolia     avenue.

The wind was blowing a gale and the breakers were piling up 30 feet high about them when the plane was righted, and the five men or¬ ganized for the battle tor lite.
In telling the story Mr. Leopold said;
"The strong current carried us away from, instead of toward Bimi¬ ni. Just about dark we sighted what we thouglit   were   tiie   lights   in   Bl¬
and  he  is  again  their  guests  for a i mini.    But it happened to be a pass-
few days before going on to Mont¬ gomery, Ala., where he will meet liis two companions, who floated on the gulf stream with him from four o'clock Friday afternoon until near¬ ly two o'clock the next morning.
Mr. Leopold does not like to tell the story tor it still is vividly full of horror He was in the lobby of the Hotel L'urney with the two Shriners v.bo made the perilous trip witli him, v.lien one of them suggested that thoy take the plane ride to Bimini. It was agreed to one condition, that the pian'e would be back at Miami at i>.30 in time for the banquet that evening.

Julius Csek. aged i^ years, ot Stockertown, was found dead, his skull fractured and scalp almost torn from the head, on the South Al¬ lentown viaduct at 10 o'clock Thurs¬ day night by the crew ot the Soutli Bethlehem car. The car was run¬ ning late because of the fog. It is not known what car struck tho man and it is entirely possible that the man might have been struck with¬ out the knowledge ot the crew of the car because of the iieavy tog. The crew of a Chestnut Hill car stopped the South Bethlehem car and told that crew.
TKe car was backed across the bridge and the body was picked up. CtA-ouer F, R. Bausch was notified and the order was given to remove the body to a local morgue.
A number of papers, including a certificate of membership in the .Vmerican Workmen's League in which he was insured for .$1000, v.-ero found oil the dead man's per¬ son. The policy was made payable to his wife, Hon Csek. A bank book showed a lialance of .?14..S7 and that a witlidrawal of $50 had been made Thursday.
ing steamer. We used every signal light we could find, but they tailed to see us. It was at this point when we saw the vessel leave us that we all lost courage and we passed the word around that it the worst came, we v.'ould lash ourselves together and go down together. It was while these arriuigements were being made that ve thought we again saw a light, but it proved to be the rising moon. The sea was still rough and as we passed from the gulf stream it grew iiuieter. The horror at this time cannot be told. We had plenty of time to think, and I think I can say for all of us that we were ready for whatever happened, and whatever happened would be ail right.
"Then we saw a glimmer of anoth¬ er light that came and went as we dropped into the trough of the waves. As we approached it finally I became a steady gleam. It after¬ wards developed that we were eigh- •.cc'A miles away from the light house v.lien we first saw it. Along about this time our anxiety grew more tense as our supply of gasoline was becoming low. The motor ot tlie plane never skipped a beat and pounded away with a regularity that was assuring.
"The suspense when it became evi¬ dent that the gas was low, became actite, for there was no knowing what minute the motor might stop. When we came within eiglit miles of tho light house the light was visible all the time and urged us on and cheered us.
"On our arrival   after
ready for many more trips to Bim¬ ini. The breaking of a marine plane propeilor is almcst an unheard of thing."
C. C. Nicholson, ot Daytona, went to -Miami wlien the news of the miss¬ ing plane was sent broadcast over the country. In the photographs tak¬ en of the rescued party at .Miami on their return to the dock Mr. Nichol¬ son is to be seen near his friend.
"I am just getting my shoes dried now." said .Mr. Leopold, with a grin, when he told the story. "It was a lorrible experience. He is staying a few days witii his friends here in Daytona in order to recuperate from the exhaustion tliat followed the night of battling with the waves, and tl;e emotional fatigue due to anxiety for those left behind. Battling with the waves was one tiling; standing up under the worry of the suffering at home was another, but tiie happy ending of the gruesome trip conies in the forming of a friendship between the three Shriners who made the trip, as well as in the reunion with the family circle when the Florida trip is over. Mr. Leopold has a wife and two daughters and his home town of Nazareth was greatly dis¬ turbed over his being classed as "inissi'ig"   from   Friday   untiH   Jlon-

Coffee, tea and cocoa were im mediately prepared, and that night tlie bed we had on the brick floor at tiie light house was the most com¬ fortable that any of us could re¬ member having enjoyed. Our great¬ est discouragement on our two days' stay on the island was the loss of our cigarettes. One of the light house men had a new pipe and a single block of tobacco. We five men took turns nt smoking the pipe until the tobacco was gone, and then we really suffered.
"The real agony centered around the folk at home because we knew that we were reported "missing," and the suffering and distress there we could visualize only too wisely. We needed that tobacco to tide us over the frightful liours of waiting. Sunday the pilot and the nie<'hanic completed rigging up of a boat with a sail and started on the twenty-five mile journey to Bimini. When about two miles out the .Marine plane "Columbus," which was out hunting the "X'ow York" sighted the sftiall boat and sailed near enough to get the direction to go on east.
The Columbus, n,little later, sail¬ ed over the light house but tlie sea w;is too rough. They saw we were all right, hastened back to Bimini. where tho news of our safety at St. Isaacs light house was flashed fo Mi:imi by a British warship. The Columbus located us about .">.:!o Sun¬ day evening, and we wen> tak-Mi off in a launch Monday morning."
Mr. Leopold is a contractor and is accustomed to doing big things in a big way in a most successful tiusiU'^ss career. He is full of details about his enforced and surprising visit to British territory. There was not a white face on the island but tho care and comfort provided is something he deeply appreciates.

Tlial the chicken and lob¬ ster were of sucli amazing delicious quality they cnred nothing that here was no butter.

Kern, the pastor, in a recent an¬ nouncement, urged that the mem¬ bers continue to support Miss Wolf until some final action has been tak¬ en in the matter. No definite date for the wedding has been set.
