Reduced Taxes Cover Wage Increases DespiteExpanding County Requirements Eight Millions Allocated In Improved Services As 2'/> Millions Debt At Cost of 3%. P.C. Falls To | 1-10 Millions On Interest of Only | Per- cent EXCEPTIONAL RECORD Luzerne County has been for- tunate as an exception to a rule that is considered normal and even traditional to governments in the United State for almost a score of years. Here debts and taxes have been reduced while elsewhere the trend of levies and obligations has been steadily upward. And, despite the exception, wage-earners under Luzerne County Government have received increases in pay with every drastic change in the height- ened cost of living. At the same time, with a 1950 cut in tax rate, county services have kept in pace with requirements, facilities have been broadened or newly created, and maintenance has been kept in perfect balance at a cost of mul- tiple millions of dollars allocated in economical administration of the public funds. So extraordinary a record brought Luzerne County Republican Party to a firm decision early in the pre- liminaries to the 1951 elections. Since the economic welfare of the citizenry has its governmental seat in the office of County Commission- ers it was deemed mandatory that the men who had directed business and tax affairs in the era of great- est progress should be recommend- ed to the voters for re-election. Herman C. Kersteen and Robert Lloyd were endorsed for Republican nominations by the elected com- mitteemen of all voting precincts, and that verdict was confirmed by the county’ executive committee. Lloyd and Kersteen met a county debt of 2% millions costing 3% % interest. They have reduced it to 1 1/10 millions at only one per cent, despite improvements costing eight millions of dollars. Herman C. Kersteen is a native of Nanticoke where he was born inn 1900. Rudimentary education he obtained in the public schools, and this knowledge he. advanced in night study by mail with the International Correspondence Schools. With civil engineering his objective he went on to Alexander Hamilton Institute of Business, finally coming into public life as a court-appointed County Commis- sioner well adapted to every phase of duty in the busiest of all county offices. His ability here has been recognized nationally as well as state-wide. = By election he is President of the Pennsylvania Asso- ciation of County Commissioners, and by appointment he is Chair- man of Civil Defense for the Na- tional Association of Public Officials. He also served as Chairman of National Brotherhood Week. With formation of the President's Conference on Highway Safety and Civil Defense, Mr, Kersteen was called to represent Pennsylvania at the White House, at Constitution Hall and again in Milwaukee over Independence Day, thereby complet- ing organization of strategy to ap- ROBERT LLOYD ply to any national emergency that might bring enemy action against the people of America. All this was voluntary service, without compensation. At home, Mr. Ker- steen is Chairman of the Highway Committee of Wyoming Valley Mo- tor Club, President of Luzerne County Commissioners, Vice-Presi- dent in Charge of Transportation with Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Past President and Past Zone Chairman for the Lions Clubs. ; Commissioner Kersteen is a mem- ber of the American Legion Home Association and Pennsylvania Home Rule Association, Columbian Vol- unteer Fire Company of Kingston and Friendly Sons of Saint Pat- rick, Wilkes-Barre. He is Chair- man of the Board of Trustees of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church and for a quarter of a cen- tury has been Delegate to the Wilkes-Barre Conference and Penn- sylvania Ministerium of the Luther- an Church. Recognition elsewhere is had with membership in Kings- ton Businessmen’s Association, Shrine Club, Masonic bodies, and he is an officer of Irem Temple as well as Chairman of the Birthday Com- mittee of Elks Lodge 109. With Civil Defense in Luzerne County Mr. Kersteen is Chief of the Divi- sion of Utilities, Transportation and Industry. With his wife and three sons and daughter he resides in Kingston. COMMISSIONER LLOYD Robert Lloyd brought to the office of County Commissioner a record of experience that had one of its critical moments in the Great De- pression. As with many another man and woman he found the work of a life-time blasted with the economic collapse of the late Twen- ties and early Thirties. Born in Ashley in 1897 where he resides with his wife and three children, Mr. Lloyd worked his way through the public schools and into eve- ning study with the Wharton School of Business & Finance of the University of Pennsylvania Ex- tension Schools. As an accountant he was hired by Central Railroad, serving also as employment officer. Later with Whitenight &' Com- pany Mr. Lloyd specialized in agen- cy relations and then equipped DEBTS DOWN WITH ECONOMY HERMAN C. KERSTEEN himself for specialized insurance Work. Advancement was rapid and the goal near when Maryland Casualty Company established a Wilkes-Barre agency and chose him as its manager. That was in 1933. Depression struck its hardest blow and the agency closed, and for Robert Lloyd the way out was the steep path down to an all-new be- ginning as laborer. It was a fight for survival, but chance came to advance to construction foreman and next there was an appoint- ment to clerical. accountant in the office of Luzerne County Treasurer under Dr. Frank M. Pugliese. | Working his way through school had given Robert Lloyd eight years of service a a newsboy with Wilkes-Barre Evening News, and in high schools days he operated a house-to-house spare-time fish-ped- dling service, alternating in his jfspave hours with jobs as assistant janitor and part-time clerk in a grocery. There was, too, the tradi- tional try at work around the mines, all these varied experiences arming him with the belief that government and politics ‘were the business of ‘the people and that he should become active in the pro- cesses of choosing the destiny of the republic. Robert Lloyd became a Minority Inspector of Elections, then Ward Committeeman, and he was elected a school director in Ashley as an introduction to later duties when he was chosen Republican Chair- man of the Second Legislative Dis- trict. With the Methodist Church he served as Trustee, and still does, and he has been Sunday School Secretary since 1916. A veteran of World War One, Mr. Lloyd was First Commander of Ashley Post 673 of the American Legion and he is a member of the Executive Com- mittee of the Boy Scouts. Kiwanis and Franklin clubs, Masonic bodies, Sportsmen Camp 103, Wyoming Valley Motor Club, Rescue Hose Company of Ashley, Disaster Committee of the Ameri- can Red Cross, the Elks, National Association of County Officials and National Manpower Organization in- ship.

Jill Has More Stitches | People who have been interested in the outcome of Jill's adventure and subsequent amnesia will be glad to know that Mrs. Raymond Drake's little dog is going to be all right after a second hurry trip to the veterinarian to have more stitches. Jill worked off her booties and scratched at her healing eye, with unfortunate results. Jill, having had a taste of wan- derlust, has had to be restrained from going off again. Like most little animals, she thinks of misery as something which can be out- run if she goes far enough and fast enough. But it won't be long until she is as good as new, except that she will have to turn her-head side- wise to get a good view. Nobody knows who hit her with his care- less car and left her for dead by the highway. Read the Classified Column Ty Alderson Pole 126 i Today!
