INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GEOREG H. EARLE
In this oath I have pledged my¬ self to scr\'e  the i>eople of Penn-
* sylvanla as best I can.   These    are ¦desperately    trying    times,    bitter
times. Vou are asking "Where are \ we going? Where do you want to I lead us?"
Solemnly  with  the   echo  of   the
oath still upon us I answer   that we
are going  along  with   the  rest  of
this nation, to new ground Pollli-
i oaily and economically a change is
K UpPcessary.    The  misery of millions,
the Insecurity of all, bids us vacate
the too easy  tolerance   Into which
!we were lulled during the past de-
icade.
  America In Its pioneer davs was hardy and barefooted, shirtsleeved,
j sharp-eyed America was then ready for whatever came, always striving for a better pasture over the hill. We're going back to that spirit today. Not literally, nol seek¬ ing new land, but seeking Into tho future for the security and freedom that makes all land, all property, all Ufe worth while. America Is going pioneering across the mountains of ispeclal privilege and predatory ¦wealth that fancies It-self securely Xounded Pennsylvania, In my ad- knintstratlon, is going with America. Iphe further we are toward the fore, ihe better.
I Every now and then history sits Wown and rests Tlio short-sighted iiay 'Now the U.-.t fronlirr is clo.s<'d. Now change Is ondf^d" But the last frontier Is never closed. Tills sum- w'^^Ai catuiot be Ignored or evaded
with impunity.
g>The punishment of history has descended again and again on those who closed their eyes to the sum¬ mons Disintegration, decay, ex¬ tinction are the inevitable fate of a nation which refuses to cliange when tlie times demand change. The jungle creeps back upon the unlended clearing, the sea finds a way through tlie once adequate dyke. When the old enemy Is sUmped out,, a way must be found lo defeat tlie new.
We can no more shirk our pion¬ eering ta.sk than the men who first landed on tliese shores could turn their backs    to the  wilderness    In (Continued on Page Three)

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE
Robert Getz. .si'cretary of the Nazareth Board of Health, about two weeks ago received notice from Sheriff Unang.st that he Is to ap¬ pear at the Easton Court House on January 21 to .serve as Juryman, and last week he recelvod a notice from Philadelphia tliat he was to appear In tliat city on the same date Jan¬ uary 21, to serve as juryman in the FVderal District Court. This Is in¬ deed a strange case that an hidi- vldual is .summoned to appear In the local court and also in tlie fed¬ eral court at the .same time. Mr Getz will prolwbly ask the lucal court to be excu.«'d >o lie can .serve at  the Phlladolphia  Court.

THOMAS A, WATSON
Thomas A. Watson, who.se name is writton a.s indi'Iililv as that of Alexander Graham Boll in the story of tho ti'lephone's birth, dit-d De- cemlior \.i, at hi.s wintor home in St, IVtersburK, Fla. He was eijrhty yoars oM.
It was Watson, who, as l»r. Bell's as.sistant, hoard fho first words spdkon over the original telephone. I»r. Hell und Watson were finker- iiiK with the instruments the for¬ mer had devised in what was to prove his successful effort to per¬ fect an "electric speaking tele¬ phone." They had arranged wires leading from the attic workshop in th«'ir Boston hoarding house to a room on the floor below.
On thi.s occasion WaLson had his oar cupped to the receiver of the instrument on the second floor. Sud¬ denly he was asfouniliil to hear I>r, Bell exclaim, "Mr. Watson, come hore; I want !"
The astonished Watson dashed .jubilantly up the .stairs to the attic, shouting "I heard you! I heard you!"
Then he noticed Ur. Bell hru.oh- I inK his arms and clothing excitedly e.nd discovered that the inventor had accidontally spillod acid upon himself. I ir. Bell's summons over the wire, uttered with little hope that it would he heard, was in real¬ ity a plea for help.
Mr. Watson's life was crowded with achievement. He manufac¬ tured the first telephone for com¬ mercial use. In his capacity as a producer of marine engines, from 1881 to 1!»0,'{, he supervised the ronsfructiiin of practically the en- lire tleet which Admiral Dewey led to victory at Manila during the Spanish-.\merican War, Mr. Wat- -oii and hr. Bell held the first triitiscontinental telephone conver- -ati.Hi nearly forty, years after the hi.-.t(i|-ii' opjsiide in the Boston room- <nK house.

WASHINGTON.  — An optimistic
view of Amoricm business in the new year was voiced in statem?ntj emanating from three sources, ba.-ed upon expert observation of trends in trade and industry In the year just clo.^ed One of the most hopefu' signs as the old year gav.- way to 1935 is the substitution of cpimiism for gloom and despair in psychology of leaders in business This change in viewpoint was stres¬ sed as one of the chief needs of the busine.s,s world
Secretary of Commerce Roper. peering into the 1935 busino.ss out¬ look, described it as "clearing, with fairer weather ahead "

Association of American Railroads, obsp.-ved c#tain "notable ^ccom- p'lishnients" of 1934, and asfjerted the raihx>ads "enter the year 1933 with renewed hopes as to their future."
• To arrive at that forecast", ex¬ plained Secretary Roper, "we have only to look at our charts for 1934. Certainly under the IrresLstiole force of Improved buying, the dark clouds of p'lor jalos and uncertainty a.s to the futur»> are rapidly being di-pelled Todav there is a bettt>r fwUng extant in the commercial world tlian there ha.s been in a long time Further, I expect U lo Improve  .steadily."
The Federal Reserve Bulletin e-timaled pay rolN of lactorlo», mines. rallpoacLs, and oublic utiU- tie.s for the first 10 monlhi of 1934 were about ono-fourth larger than In 1933 For the same penod.
