Another Good One
Dutch Rektorik showed Friday

won the Valley "B" title and went
on to take the Region Eight cham

 Media, Pa, July 31.-(UP)- The ghost" of Glen Mills appears to have a. family.
 Pennsylvania highway patrol men from the Glenolden barracks announced to-day that in the gray hours before dawn they captured two ghosts.
 Sarah Carter, indignantly informed the highway patrolmen that she was merely entertaining her chil- dren by garbing herself in a sheet and dancing on the lawn.
 The second apparition, observed by a keen eyed youthful patrol man as 1t floated across corn field, proved to be a white shroud- ed scarecrow operated by a series of ropes and pulleys. Starting in pursuit of the thing, police startled the opeartor who escaped into the apple orchard without having an opportunity to indulge in the hollow, eerie laugh, which has made "it' feared.
 "Whether we caught the real ghost or not last night" a ser geant of the highway patrol told the United Press to-day, i've will have 30 men from three counties on duty tonight. Every driver who stops his car on the winding Glen Mills road will be arrested for parking and taken to Media where he will have three justice's of the peace waiting to fine them. In addition there will be 15 state troopers on duty to see that no more ghosts appear"
 The highway patrolmen are con- vinced that the thing which,
