Of slight build, he stood for a moment with- out speaking then slapped her and knocked her to the floor in an at- tempt to tear off her blue jeans which were fastened with a belt.

Laing Fire Com- pany was kept on the hop Wednes- day afternoon with four alarms in a period of two hours. The first was from the home of Ray Evans on Lake Street where a bonfire got out of control and threatened to spread to adjoining fields before it was extinguished by Mrs. Evans and a neighbor. The firemen had hardly left Lake Street when a call came from Kun- kle where a grass fire was raging out of control with flames leaping six to seven feet high near the . James Traver and John Parsons | properties.’ The fire was getting the best of the Harry Smith Company when Dallas arrived with eight men; Shavertown with eight and Noxen with ten. The fire spread over fifteen acres to the vicinity of the John Morrett property before it was brought un- der control. Old grass accumulated over a period of three or four years added to the fury of the flames. While the Laing Company was at the Kunkle blaze, two alarms were sent in from the vicinity of Terrace Drive where a grass and brush fire were out of control. Trucksville Fire Company respond- ed, but the blaze was extinguished before it arrived.

Have A Heart And Save A Heart Triple District Jointure Seems A Step Closer Accountants To Scan Ross, Township Figures By March 24 A review by certified public ac- countant was requested by Samuel Rhoads, treasurer, at Tuesday night's meeting of Lehman-Jackson Township joint school board, before negotiations for projected jointure with Ross Township school district are completed. Mr. Rhoads held that it was the unexpected expenses which upset the budget when oper- ating on a narrow margin, and that the entire framework of the pro- posed action could be studied to advantage. A meeting was pro- posed for March 24, 7:30 p.m., at which time all three boards con- cerned could discuss findings of both accountant and Luzerne Coun- ty Superintendent’s Office with all points clarified. : Question of redistricting Luzerne County, once more in the forefront of scholastic discussion, makes a proposed three-way jointure timely. The Lehman-Jackson-Ross jointure has been discussed at great length, with boards meeting together on twelve occasions since inception of the proposal early last fall. Jointure hinges on ability of Ross Township to pay its share, which figures indicate as assured. Erection of the proposed grade school building in Sweet Valley with accommodations for 183 to re- place six one-room schools, was proposed with jointure in wiew. Atty. Monroe Houtz, speaking for both Ross Township school board and the building authority, enter- tained a - suggestion from Mr. Rhoads that from motives of econ- omy, it might be possible to so change specifications for the grade could be had, following the lead of Tunkhannock where a new build- ing will not cost nearly as much ir proportion. f ings could doubtless be made, but that labor was cheaper in Tunk- hannock than in Sweet Valley, where Wilkes-Barre sets the stand- ard of cost. Having new plans drawn when already committed to the present plans, would be costly, but modification could be made. Question of physical facilities for accommodation of 130 high school students was discussed, with Lester Squier, supervising principal re- minding the boards that a large percentage of these students were already enrolled on a tuition basis, with only seventh and grades to be provided for. Tempo- rary arrangements could be made using the present music room, ex- tra space in the Home Economics department, and. perhaps housing a commercial department in the space above the old auditorium until building of two or three ex- tra classrooms could be handled. Both Home Economics and Agricul- ture courses were held in this space last year before building opera- tions were completed. The space is large and well lighted, of sturdy construction. . An extra fire-escape would prob- ably be necessary. Mr. Squier stated that $2,000 would probably finance purchase of extra seats and lockers. : Ross Township board inquired if a’ 7-12 grade jointure would be more acceptable than a 1-12. All three boards favor jointure on some basis. Taking in only high school students this year, would in Mr. Rhoads’ opinion give the three districts opportunity to taking steps too hastily, with ac- tual building of the new school put off for a time, or its cost pared down. Thirty-six students from Ross are still attending Northwest District schools, where border-line between Sweet Valley and area served by Shickshinny is close and transpor- tation easier. Social Security Social security for cafeteria em- ployees, not eligible for retirement plan, will be brought up for action at the April meeting. Most of the staff were not employed in 1951, only one employee rating the pro- posed plan whereby retroactive benefits could be obtained by pay- ment of 3% of income from Janu- ary 1951, with a ten year addi- tional benefit on retirement. Half the amount is paid by the em- ployee, half by the cafeteria, which is in a position to defray the ex- pense. Playground Surfacing Pea-gravel spread on the play- ground in the area used by small children for play apparatus, was recommended by Mr. Squier as a measure to correct present muddy conditions.
