Taxpayers Approve Roadmaster
Plan Now Used By Supervisors
Kingston Township tavpayers are
pleased with the results of the plan
put in effect some months ago by
Kingston Township Supervisors to
have one of their number act as
roadmaster.
Arthur Smith, who has that re-
sponsibility, has proved during the
short time the plan has been in
effect, that the township can have
better roads at lower costs than
under the old system where all
supervisors were employed on the
roads.
Working with three employees
instead of ten as heretofor, Mr.
Smith has supervised the recon-
struction of Mt, Airy Road and
Evergreen street. Grades have been
cut down on Mt. Airy Road, a re-
taining wall built and the street
is now ready for ‘black top.
In this work he has had the
full cooperation of Supervisors Pas-
coe and Elston. It was Mr. Elston
who first suggested the Mt. Airy
Road construction. Mr. Pascoe is
retiring this term after serving
fourteen years on the Board. Mr.
Elston is filling the unexpired term
of William Myers who served six-
teen years on the Board before
retiring several months ago. Mr.
Elston is seeking reelection for a
two-year term.
Incidentally he comes from a long
line of supervisors. His great grand-
father, Samuel Elston was a super-
visor. William Elston served as
Street Superintendent in Dallas
Borough and Fred Elston is a sup-
ervisor in Lehman Township.
The monthly meeting of the Sup-
ervisors will be held next Wednes-
day.

the product of Father O’Leary’s
perseverence, and that the newly
opened Gate of Heaven School is
also his brain child, the culmina-
tion of his long interest in educa-
tion as well as religion.
During the first two years of his
pastorate here, Mass was held at
the amusement pavilion at Hillside,
now occupied by Bulfords Hard-
ware store. It was not until Christ-
mas Eve, 1928, that the new church,
its scaffolding still in place, its
interior furnished, opened its doors
to its ‘first midnight Mass.
Father O'Leary was educated at
Mount St. Mary’s Emmitsburg,
Maryland, spending seven years in
that foundation, first as a student
in the college and later in. the
Theological School. He was ordained
by Bishop Michael Hoban, Scranton,
in 1914, and was assistant at St.
Mary’s, Wilkes-Barre until called
into service as a chaplain.
He served fourteen months over-
seas, from March 1918 to May
1919. Wounded seriously by a high
explosive shell, he spent six weeks
in the hospital, rejoining the third

Germany.
Returning to this country, he
was released from service at Camp
Dix, but returned to Europe later
to work with the Graves Registra-
tion in identifying soldiers who had
been hastily buried in the stress
of battle.
In 1926 he was assigned to Har-
veys Lake, Our Lady of Victory,
and later that same year to the
Dallas-Trucksville area. = At that
time there were only sixty families
in the parish, as contrasted with
between 600 and 700 at the present,
with new families constantly mov-
ing into the area.

for balance and design, along with
a knowledge of color combination
which will stand him in good stead
in selecting furniture.
Comedy was always his forte. He
and other students at the dramatic
school cooperated in the establish-
ment of three radio stations in Cin-
cinnati, WOW, WCKY, and KRC.
They presented small plays, took
turns at the announcing, and were
general handymen. :

Mrs. Dodson says welcoming

but his heart wasn’t in it, and he
was glad to tackle something more
to his liking.
For twenty years he lived in Nor-
folk, Virginia, before moving to
Harveys Lake in 1948. It was in
Virginia that he met his wife, the
former Theo Stanley. They have
two children, a boy and a girl, now
seven and nine.
His activities since coming to the
Back Mountain need little des-
cription. The thing he likes best is
still the carnival atmosphere. It
was natural for him to take on con-
cessions at Red Ambrose’s Sunset
development, to entertain kids on
the miniature rides, and sell them
popcorn and candy and soft
drinks.
The Cut Rate store across from
Sunset is operated by a cousin,
James Clatworthy.
Ralph Flannigan, from his blue
eyes and florid complexion to his
genial air and ready wit, is pure
County Cork, by way of his grand-
parents. He was ‘born in Ports-
mouth, Ohio in 1909, his parents
Edward and Clara Flannigan.
He is a joiner, belonging to the
American Legion, the Elks, Harveys
Lake Lions, the Liedkranz Club in
Scranton, several organizations of
showmen and Dallas Borough PTA.
The family has recently moved to
a newly built home on Machell
Avenue, Dallas. = . , .
Mr. Flannigan likes Dallas. He
likes the people here, and he has
great faith in the" future of the
community. 2
