Fisherman, 84,
Buys License
Mrs. Richards Knows
Where Big Ones Play
A fisherman ever since she was
old enough for her brothers to take
her to the river, eighty-four year
old Mrs. W. B. Richards stopped off
at Evans Drug Store last Thursday
night to buy a fishing license so that
she could fish at her grandsons,
William ‘Crossman’s pond in Sugar
Hollow on Friday.
Mrs, Richards is the widow of the
former Burgess and Chief of Police,
West Pittston and currently makes
her home with her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs, Harry
Crossman of Orange, where every-
body familiarly calls her “Nellie”.
Usually Mrs. Richards fishes for
bullheads and bass from a boat
with her brother Fred Brown who
lives along the river at Harding;
but when she goes for trout—she
wades—sometimes in Tunkhannock,
sometimes in Bowman's Creek.
When she can’t fish, Mrs. Richards
gardens or roams the woods alone.
Though she sews beautifully, she is
also a skillful carpenter—adept with
hammer, saw and chisel.
Her father was a breaker car-
penter and she learned some of her
skills from him. [She was one of
eleven children, only three of whom
are mow living. Another brother,
Daniel, lives in West Pittston.
Sometimes two other elderly
ladies accompany her on her fishing
expeditions, but if she can't find
companions she goes it alone.
Among her kindred were the
Billings, Terry and Harding families
of Tunkhannock. “They were hardy
souls, too,” she says. “And they
* loved these Pennsylvania woods and
streams just as I do.”

THE POST, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1952
A married couple looking over
Ralph Downend’s newly constructed
house in Goss Manor would pass ap-
proval upon the huge living room
with its hooded fireplace and its
triple windows looking out over
the valley, and would then part
company, the wife to gloat over the
kitchen, the husband to inspect the
garage and basement.
The man would approve the steel
beams, the honest workmanship, the
unobstructed floor space; the sixteen
foot garage door ‘that rises at a
touch to connect with a sixteen foot
driveway, with mo obstructing cen-
ter post; the automatic forced hot
air furnace; the ell that affords
space for a home workshop; the
linoleum-covered basement stairs;
the waterproofed cement floor; the
basement fireplace, with built-in
heating unit; the doors and wide
windows where the ground drops
away at the rear; the chance for a
flagstone or brick terrace in the
shade of the overhanging sun deck,
again unobstructed because of canti-
lever construction,
The woman would take in at one
expert glance the handy U arrange-
ment of the kitchen, with its electric
stove, and its view of the far hills
from the window over the modern
sink. ‘She would approve the ‘table
and two benches which fold flat
against the wall, concealed by a
double door and taking up no space
except at snack time, [She would
look at the inlaid linoleum, note the
coves, and reflect how easy it would
be to keep that kitchen looking like
new. :
She would open the cupboards,
wonder where the builder found
such - beautiful hardware, approve
Mrs. Downend’s color scheme. If she
had young children, she would
mentally convert the smallish room
behind the kitchen into a playroom.
If her children were grown, she
would think of it in terms of a
home office or a sewing room.
Half a flight upstairs, she would
find a large bedroom and a beautiful
modern bath, tiled, and with a glass-
doored shower room.
Ultra-Modern Home In Goss Manor
Outstanding In Design And Decor
Turning to the right up another
short flight, she would find a master
bedroom, equipped with large closets
and a deep built-in chest of drawers;
another large bedroom, with the
north wall insulated with closets
running full length; and a masterly
version of a bathroom, this one with
a built-in, tub, mat-tile flooring,
marblethresholds, and a unique color
scheme. ,
She would open the deep linen
closet, and mentally arrange her
percale sheets and pillow cases and
her deep-pile turkish towels.
The best grade of hard-wood oak
flooring has been used in the bed-
rooms and on the stair ‘treads.
Out of the basement now, the
other half of the couple calls his
wife's attention to the three-foot
overhangs protecting the windows,
horizontally placed to keep out the
sun in summer, admit it for extra
warmth in winter.
‘Will the flat pitch and slag roofs
stand the snow ?
Yes, the steel girders will hold
up to eight feet of snow, and oddly
enough the air currents take most
of it off in every storm.
Back downstairs, the living room
comes in for a detailed inspection.
The striated plywood squares of the
ceiling carry out ‘the scheme of the
blocked asphalt tile floor, but on a
larger scale. The nine-foot hearth is
wide, and elevated from ‘the floor,
but the embrasure is shallow, with
huge logs giving their heat to the
room instead of the chimney.
A storage wall shields part of the
living room from the entrance tall,
for greater privacy. A door opens to
the sun deck.
There is not an inch of waste
space. Everything is functional, ar-
ranged to give the maximum of
spaciousness,
The exterior is finished in cedar
siding dressed with three coats of
redwood stain. Applied horizontally
on the main body of the house, to
carry out the scheme of the horizon-
ta] overhang, at the front the siding
is vertical to provide contrast.
There are shallow stone steps with

Grading and landscaping have al-
ready been done.
There are certain details of finish-
ing that have been left for selec-
tion by the eventual owner, and cer-
tain details of good construction
that have been purposely left un-
masked for inspection by an intelli-
gent purchaser, y
The over-all impression of the
house is that it will last practically
forever: that the best was none too
good; that it was built honestly and
with loving attention, to detail; and
that whoever is lucky enough to
get it will enjoy living in it and be
proud of it.
The house is ahead of its times,
employing mot only the best in
modern construction, but introduec-
ing innovations that other builders
will be glad to copy.
