ULSTER The beautiful
Susquehanna River borders the
east of Ulster Township, Bradford
County, but the township has been
dry for 40 years. Dry, that is,
because the people have
repeatedly voted down permission
to sell alcoholic beverages frithin
the domain.

Rural Bradford township looks
again at the May 19 primary, and
the referendum has caused no
small stir in the community.
Jack Bishop, presently an Ulster
township supervisor, and owner of
Bishop’s Restaurant at the edge of
the little town of Ulster, circulated
petitions to have the local option
put on the Primary ballot.,
Bishop reasoned that he wants to
build a 30 by 30 foot addition to his
present dining room where he

caters to a breakfast and lunch
trade and serves dinners from 5
until 9 p.m. with legal beverages.
There would be no alcohol served
during the day nor would he want
to run a tap room, Bishop insists.
He wants to keep it a family
restaurant.
A protest seeking to remove the
question from the ballot was filed
by group called “Citizens for
Better Community Living”.

Mrs. Thelma Wright,
spokeswoman for the group ex
plained, “It is not, the purpose of
the Citizens Committee for Better
Community Living to come against
any one individual. We are so
aware of the,harm, heartaches,
and destruction booze brings, that
our purse is to keep it from being
brought into our own community ”
Mrs. Wright, and her co
chairperson, Mrs. Evelyn Stowell,
alleged that a number of the
signatures on the Bishop’s
petitions were invalid. Some were'
not registered voters in the
township, and some did not
become registered untd after
signing the petition, they said.
There were also alleged to be
duplicate signatures on the
petitions.
Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Stowell
obtained the services of a lawyer, a
resident of Ulster township, to
oppose the petition for the liquor
and malt beverage license, but the
judge ruled on a technicality that
Jack Bishop had not been properly
informed that his petitions were
being contested. Therefore, the
local option will be printed on the
ballot for the citizens to make a
choice.
At a recent meeting of the
Citizens for Better Community
Living, Mrs. Wright told the group
of 35 people present that she had
met with the Bradford County
Commissioners to ask them why
they themselves did not throw out
the petition which had been im
properly signed.
According to Mrs. Wright, the
The Farmer Automatic
4 Deck Cage System
Commissioners tpld her that they
did not have time to inspect over
500 petitions of those running in the
Primary election; and that the
citizens have a right to see the
petitions and protest if they think
they are illegal.
Many in the group expressed
their desire to hire legal counsel to
see if the Commissioners are
legally bound to inspect each
petition before the ballots are
printed, but after considering the
cost of lawyer fees and the short
tune before the primary election,
they decided to drop that aspect of
the protest for the time being.
During the meeting. Miss Gladys
Reeves of Milan acted as secretary
and Mr. Dan Boehm of Saco was
elected treasurer A budget of $3OO
was set to cover the cost of mailing
two letters to each voter, and other
publicity. A plan of action was
implemented to register people to
vote, provide transportation to the
polls, to have poll watchers, and
volunteers to stand outside the
voting places to urge people to vote
“dry”.
Mrs. Wright also explained that
they had obtained advisory help
from the Pennsylvania Council on
Alcohol Problems whose offices
are in Harrisburg.
Ulster Township with a
population of 1327 is fast changing
from a farming community to a
bedroom community. The last
appearing for a liquor license
failed in 1973.
The question remains: What will
the citizens of Ulster Township
decide this tune?
