Asks O'Hearn To Pay Damages For Automobile That Is Wrecked by Deputy Sheriff's Son Charles H. Unangst, sheriff of Northampton county, appeared before the Northampton county commissioners yesterday morning and said that he desired John O'Hearn, of Bethlehem, deputy sheriff, to pay the damages for the county car, wrecked several weeks ago by his son, John O'Hearn Jr.

Sheriff Unangst said that he recently underwent a long illness, part of which was spent in a hospital and on the first day of his return to duty at the court he learned that a county car attached to his office had been wrecked by a son of a deputy sheriff. Continuing the sheriff stated that information was to the effect that the car, at the time of the accident, was not out on official business and for this reason he felt it his duty to hold the father responsible for the action of the son. The sheriff stated he did not want the county to permit the insurance company to adjust a claim for damages involving this particular car. "My orders concerning the use of county cars, attached to my office, for private use, were disobeyed. It is too bad I can't make the son pay the bill.

He is not connected with my office and I have no jurisdiction over him. But I do have authority over the father. The father in this case is responsible for the act of the son, and I am here demanding the father pay. I don't want the insurance company to pay; neither do I want one penny of the county's funds used in adjusting this concluded the sheriff.

Schrader, 16, a a a a a junior, of 522 Edgeboro boulevard. This entire group visited the school board last night at the regular meeting and made the complaints, in person.

In the case of the Fredericks girl, it was explained by her father and mother that she was sent home from school because she wore anklets and the Schrader boy was expelled because he skipped two study periods a week ago. There are no rules relative to the clothing to be worn in school, Superintendent W. H. Weiss said. It is a matter that is left to the good judgof the teacher.

It the teacher thought there should be a change of attire the matter should be taken up with the parents. "The high school faculty agreed in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades that the children to be properly dressed must wear stockings, but in the 7th, 8th, and 9th that was not a question" Mr. Weiss said. Mrs. Fredericks asserted it was question between "morals and anklets." Mr.

Weiss pointed out that the discipline at the school has not been what it should be and asserted parents are "irate and stirred up and are feeling that they have been unjustly treated and are not receiving the courtesy they should."

Paul Cotton 'From Sabbath to Sunday' Written by South Side Presbyterian Minister Prof. E. F. Scott, internationally renowned New Testament in the May issue of the Alumni Bulletin of Union Theological seminary, New York City, gives high praise to the book, "From Sabbath to Sunday," recently written and published by the Rev. Paul Cotton, Ph.

pastor of the South Side Presbyterian church, Bethlehem. This book, published in Bethlehem, has been in the hands of the Ladies' Aid society of Dr. Cotton's church, who have appreciated his interesting and illuminating exposition of this significant problem, which was originally written for his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, which he has received. The book is also found in the Bethlehem Public library. "At some time, probably in the first years of the church, the sacred day was changed from Sabbath to Sunday," writes Prof.

Scott in his commendatory booknote. "The momentous change is assumed in the New Testament but no hint is given as to who, or when, or how it was effected. We have here one of the most interesting of historical problems, and there have been many attempts to solve it. This book by Dr. Cotton ought to take its place at once as the most useful and satisfying treatment of the subject.

The author has made a full examination of all the revelant literature, and has presented his results not only in a scholarly but in a most readable style, and has sifted the various theories with excellent judgment. "He shows that the question is more than an historical says Prof. Scott, "and has important bearings on the religion and life of the early church. It is matter of pride to Union seminary that several of the A mass meeting for Allentonians wh books originally written as doctor's dissertations have become indispensable books for every scholar, and this is emphatically one of them. It ought to appeal to more than a scholarly public, for the subject with which it deals still affects the daily life of everybody." "Christian legalists can never understand the true reason why the Jewish Sabbath could become the Christian Sunday.

The Seventh Day Adventists can never understand how one can be a Christian and forsake the Jewish Sabbath. Nor can the ordinary Christian explain by what authority Christians could alter the Sabbath Commandment," writes Dr. Cotton. "The worth of any sacred day rests ultimately upon its value to human individuals for religious purposes and for rest. Christians had the right to change the Sabbath to the Christian day, Sunday.

It was only by this means that the burdensome restrictions of Sabbath could be swept aside, and all that was valuable in the Sabbath could be preserved in the Christian Sunday. A wide reading of this Bethlehemite's book is easily predicted. Enumerators Are Appointed Named on Recommendation of School Director George L.

Agrest Gets Verdict of $250 Rumored That Former Tax Collector Will Bring Further Litigation A jury before President Judge Stewart in civil court at Easton yesterday morning awarded Joseph L. Agrest, of Bethlehem, a verdict of $250 in his action against the Gosztonyi Savings Trust company, of Bethlehem. Agrest brought the action, asking heavy damages by reason of the failure of the defendant company, to honor in full, a check he gave to the county treasurer in the sum of approximately $6,700. Agrest gave the check to D. E.

Keim, county treasurer, in payment of certain taxes he collected in Bethlehem, where the former previously served as tax collector. Sometime later the check bounced back on the county treasurer, marked "not sufficient funds." The matter was given wide publicity at the time, causing Agrest to encounter difficulties with insurance companies and he brought the current action to recover for alleged losses sustained. After listening several days to the testimony the jury decided that Agrest's damages, in dollars and cents. amounted to $250. In the testimony it was brought out that Agrest had caused to be deposited money in sufficient amount to meet the check, but that the bank had appropriated some of the funds to meet other obligations Agrest held with the institution.

The proceedings just ended in no way passed on the validity of the bank's action is appropriating certain of the tax money to satisfy Agrest's other obligations. At the county treasurer's office yesterday morning it was stated the protested check has not yet been made good. It was the generally accepted opinion at the court house that additional litigation will follow, involving the same parties, and which will be based on bank's action in not honoring the check deposited with the county treasurer.
