PERFECT DAY FOR A CAR SHOW: Beautiful weather on Saturday drew almost 100 cars to the inaugural White Haven Car Show, sponsored by the Laurel Lodge Masonic Temple, the White Haven Sports Association, and the Greater White Haven Chamber of Commerce. Live music, a chicken barbecue by the Freeland Volunteer Fire Company, a tricky tray and lots of cars to look at made the event a success. Turn to page 3 for more photos.

The Major, looking at them, directed, “soldier, you’re facing a court-martial; what’s your name and serial number?” With one more act of defiance, Harry looked up to the river bank, where loud gunfire and mortar rounds were exploding; he said, “Sir, if you follow me up the hill, I will give you both.” Knowing he was not likely to follow

had seen. He renewed his anger for the savage enemy. His rifle company raced into the heart of Germany, sometimes catching a ride, but most of the time walking. Every inch of the way, they were met with skirmishes. There was the constant sound of gunfire and neverending artillery fire in the distance. They were always cold and hungry; a rifle company was at the very end of the supply chain, and everything they did receive was well picked over. Finding and cooking two chickens over an open fire was like a Thanksgiving feast.

His small company fought its way across an open plowed field toward a church with a red cross painted on all sides. As they neared the building, Germans opened fire with machine guns, pinning them down. From a distance, a US 90mm tank destroyer fired on the church and destroyed it.

At the Danube river, they had to cross in small boats when darkness arrived. None were trained in this, and the crossing was loud and awkward. Halfway across, shelling started falling all around them, but they landed unhurt. Climbing the bank about halfway up, Germans opened up with machine guns. The Company returned fire, killing all six Germans. Their Sergeant was hit in the back; the round exited his shoulder. Harry and another soldier carried the Sgt. back to the boat landing area, calling out that they had a wounded man and had to evacuate him. They were met by a Major in charge of the landing area who walked over and called out, “Hold It.” He looked at the wounded Sgt. and sternly informed Harry he wouldn’t make it, put him over there. Harry replied he would not make it if he were left there. The Major responded the boats were for those who could be saved; end of the discussion. With

Once that was done, we made a visit to the local farmer’s market and did some shopping before coming to White Haven for the car show, which had near 100 cars. This was a great first event, and everybody involved deserves congratulations.

I had nearly forgotten about this event. There was a special little newspaper that arrived at our house with the schedule, and there was a band that we had missed at this year’s Musikfest the Philadelphia Funk Authority. They were playing Friday night we had Friday night open, so we went.

I e-mailed to Frank Fear of The Sports Column, after he sent this week’s article. I commented that some of the younger Division 1 football programs had big games this past weekend.

were quite a few upsets, mainly teams booking weaker opponents then finding out otherwise. There will be changes to the rankings for sure.

Seth’s Sightings

Another busy week of work had us ready for this past weekend. There were a lot of places and events to see and do, and we chose the Palmerton Festival for Friday night.

Looking ahead, this weekend looks like fun at the Weatherly HillClimb. Ruth and I will be there in support of Weatherly Library’s stand. On Saturday, after the HillClimb work, we will attend a retirement dinner for PA Senator Mario Scavello at the Kalahari Resort, which includes a roast of the man, so should be fun and funny.

Sunday, I completed a busy day by doing some lawn trimming at sunset, weed whacking as the light faded. Sunday morning, I went to the Arner auction out in Rush Township. I’m also planning to go to their auction on the 22nd in Packer Township. I’m entertained by the auction process. I’ll bid when there’s something I’d like to have. The auctioneers were slogging through box lots of auto parts, tools mainly for car repairing, and meat cutters.

Back to football, Penn State has some depth to back up old quarterback Sean Clifford, making prospects look good for their offense this season. Sean is tough, but he’s been hurt before and then, we had no one good enough to truly step in.

Enjoy the somewhat cooler weather, and the hints of the start of fall foliage. Best of health to all of you as well.

After that wrapped up, we went over to the White Haven Area Community Library and enjoyed the history displays at the open house of the Historical Society.

Du mpsters will be available on Saturday, Sept. 2 4, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Dennison Township Fire House, 54 Linden Street, for Dennison Township residents to dispose of bulk items.
