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-

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.

Signally Honored
Pfc. Jerry 'W. Scott
Jerry has been going places
since his enlistment three months
ago immediately following his bro-
ther Bob’s induction into the army.
When graduation for basic train-
ing was held at Fort Knox, Ken-
tucky, last Friday, it was Jerry
who was awarded a special cita-
tion and a sterling silvem indentifi-
cation bracelot for outstanding a-
chievement, military conduct, and
enthusiasm over and above the
other men in Company B.
* On order of Colonel in Command,
Captain of Infantry Winfield S.
Chadwick made the award and la-
ter complimented Jerry’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott, of Leh-
man on his achievement.
Jerry and his parents, who had
driven to Fort Knox on Tuesday,
covered the 950 miles in twenty-
five hours, starting Friday night
and arriving here on Saturday in
time to welcome Bob, on leave
from Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
Both sons had a three-day leave,
terminating Tuesday morning.
Jerry will be stationed at Vine-
yard Farms, Virginia, for reprocess-
ing, then sent to Fort Devens, Mas-
sachusetts, for a ‘twenty-one week
| course in Radio and Electronics.
Bob has been honored by selec-
tion as one of a cadre to train new
recruits at Aberdeen. ;
Alice Pavlick accompanied the
Scotts to Fort Knox.
Colorado has the highest av-
erage altitude above sea lével of
any state.

Wrap each roll in moistureproof cellophane, sealing the ends with
cellophane tape, and store until needed in your refrigerator.

store it again. Yield: about 10 dozen cookies.
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.
