of taking orders each week from the peerless boss of the New Republican Party, Eddie Joseph, broke all former
WHAT HATH JARRETT WROUGHT...?
On July the 16th, 1961, just three days before the infamous switch of Jarret Jennings; the publisher of the
Sunday Independent, Tom Heffernan who is also the self appointed adviser of the Republican and Democratic
Parties (and Heaven help either if the advice is not taken) —wrote an editorial in his paper in which he gave the
deserting county commissioner the following admonition:
“IT IS THE OPINION HERE THAT HE (JENNINGS) MAY MAKE A SERIOUS. MISTAKE IF HE
CHANGES COATS AGAIN, LINES UP NOW WITH NORTHRUP AND UNSETS THE ENTIRE
COUNTY—MEANING FIRING A LOT OF PEOPLE.”
“NO MATTER WHAT IS THE REAL TRUTH, IT WILL BE FELT BY MOST OF THE PEOPLE
THAT HE CHANGED OVER ONLY BECAUSE DORRIS HAS REFUSED TO MAKE HIM A JUDGE,
HAVING PASSED OVER HIM THREE TIMES. >
“HE WILL HAVE A HARD TIME CONVINCING VERY MANY THAT HE IS SHIFTING BECAUSE
HIS DISAPPROVAL OR DORRIS’ INSISTENCE ON BEING THE COUNTY DICTATOR AND
DORRIS’ METHODS BECAUSE THE RECORDS SHOW NOT A SINGLE INSTANCE IN WHICH
JENNINGS, BY HIS VOTE, HAS PROTESTED.”
¢“SO HE DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD CASE TO START WITH.”
The Record Speaks For Itself
Now, Mr. Jennings, let us see what you actually did.
You left the Democratic Party; the Party that made you a County Commissioner, a position which you in your
rosiest hopes never dreamt of attaining. The Party which lifted you, to a high position of prestige in our county
government. You turned your back on the 74,743 electors, who voted for you because you were pledged to the
1959 Democratic Party Platform of economy in government ... and these same voters believed you would remain
loyal and steadfast to that Party and that economy platform. This belief is only a natural assumption in
American politics.
Mr. Jennings; do you think that anyone in their wildest flights of fancy believes that Vincent Quinn could have
been selected as the Republican judicial nominee if you had not promised to turn over the county patronage to
the present hybrid coalition, masquerading as the Republican Party ? ? ?
] t .. ..you did just
the opposite . wits weekly you hired more than you fired, and furthermore you raised many of the salaries . . .
thereby saddling the little home owner with an increase, to date, of almost $200,000 per annum in the cost of
county government.
In legal parlance . . . this is known as payroll padding and court records show that many officials charged with
this offense have paid the penalty as provided by law. You conspired to do all this with both eyes firmly on a
judgeship. But winning the nomination of Mr. Quinn by a group is one thing, Mr. Jennings; winning the elec-
tion, when the people speak, is another.
Heffernan’s editorial continues:
“ALL HE (JENNINGS) HAS TO DO IS STAND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET, VOTE FOR THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE AND AS HE SEES FIT ON EVERY ITEM OF BUSINESS THAT
COMES UP, LET EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO COMMISSIONERS VOTE WITH HIM THAT
CARES TO AND LET THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN THE POLITICAL LEADERS GET THE
BENEFITS . . . FOR A CHANGE.” Sr
“GRANTED IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF BACKBONE.” y
But Mr. Heffernan . . . This would have been just dandy and no one could have reasonably objected, including
the writer . . . but Mr. Heffernan, as everybody knows there were many angles to these coalition agreements.
Why, you yourself also had your two eyes firmly fixed, like Jennings, on a judgeship for your golfing partner,
Atty. Pete Olszewski, the legal adviser of City Hall and its political organization that you castigated so unmerci-
fully for the past several years, not only for their commissions but also for their omissions.
You, like Jennings, first attempted to have the Democratic Party accept your personal choice and failing this,
you, like Jennings, succeeded in having the Republican party accept your choice.
Now Mr. Heffernan, according to you, everything in the governuient: is rosy and the goose is flying high You
are interested in one thing — the election of Pete Olszewski.
You, Mr. Jennings, not to be outdone by your friend Tom, are also interested in only one thing . . . the election
of Vince Quinn! Nothing must interfere with these personal goals.
Although you, Tom have constantly raised the economy issue in the past . . . never did you at any time report
the economy practiced by the Democratic County administration, that is, prior to July 19, 1961. You never, not
even once used your pen to admonish the free spending duo of Jarrett and Bow against ruthless dissipation of
county money . . . nor have you penned one word protesting wholesale firings of county employees which you
warned against in your editorial quoted in this letter.
In fact on Axe Wednesday of last week, Jarrett and his pliant partner Bow, the latter now relegated to the position
records with 19 hired, 9 fired.
Not satisfied with this all time high, and feeling their oats, they then proceeded to the County Home and played
an encore. i -
They there added $34,000 more to the county payroll; all salaries being boosted above the figures recommended
by the Luzerne County Economy League. This was really a red letter day for the spendthrift twins. The total
payroll boost for the day amounted roughly to $64,000, with still more to come.
Does anyone believe that this brand of economy’ > will please the small home owner with a modest income ? ? ?
We doubt it.

Fumbles, Fumbles, Fumbles!!!
The second period turned out to
be one of fumblitis for both teams.
No less than seven fumbles oc-
curred during the period with Lake-
Lehman fumbling three times with
Edwardsville recovering all along
with recovering two of its own four.
Practically the entire second period
was played between the Lake-Leh-
man goal and the 38 yard line.
Along with all the fumbles, Ed-
wardsville also grabbed off one of
the Knights passes,
Despite all this the deepest pene-
tration by the Eagles was in the
closing seconds of the first half when
a drive was stopped at the one as
the half ended.
A pass to Adam Zane good for 36
yards placed the ball on the 2 and
a running play moved to the one as
time ran out.
Eagles Threaten
Midway in the third period follow-
ing a poor Lake-Lehman punt, Ed-
wardsville picked up threee first
downs as it moved from the LL 48 to
the 8-yard line before a fourth down
running play was stopped 2-yards
short of a first down.
Zane Scores
Early in the final period Rinken
recovered another fumble on the
Edwardsville 49 ad Lake-Lehman
started a drive that moved to the
27, but' a 15-yarder against Lake-
Lehman at the 32 for clipping moved
the ball back to the 47. Following an
incompleted pass Lake-Lehman
fumbled and Mike Sharok scooped
up the elusive pigskin on the 50 and
| raced to the Lake-Lehman 20 before
| being hauled down by Terry Smith
on a desperation tackle.
On first down Zane crashed
through for 18 yards and two plays
later plunged over for the score.
Valanski’s try after also went wide,
The game ended with Lake-Leh-
man on the Edwardsville 32.
Statistics
Both teams picked up five first
downs, Lake-Lehman passed five
times, completing none and had one
intercepted. Edwardsville tried eight
passes completing two.
Exeter 6, Dallas 0
‘Exeter pulled one of the big upsets
in the West Side Conference Friday
night when it turned back Dallas
6-0 on a fourth quarter score.
A bad pass from center on an at-
temped punt gave Exeter the big
break it needed for the win.
Dallas lost a score in the third
period when quarterback Harold His-
lop streaked 49 yards on a keeper
| play only to have it nulified by a 15-
yard penalty for holding,
Dallas lost a chance for another
score when a blocked Exeter punt
was recovered at the 10 but the rug-
ged defensive line of the Panthers
held on downs.
From here Exeter moved to the
Dallas 40 before the drive fizzled.
Dallas took over at the 40 and
two 11-yard penalties put Dallas ‘in
the hole moving the ball back to the
10. On the attempted punt, a bad
pass bounded off the kickers’ finger-
tips and he was smeared on the two
yard line,
Voda crashed over from here for
the only score of the contest.
Dallas collected six first downs to
four for Exeter and were penalized
45 yards against 5 for Exeter.

Lake-Lehman Meets Exeter Friday:
Dallas Tests Edwardsville Saturday
Lake-Lehman will have its
hands full Friday night when it
travels to Exeter to meet the
high-flying Exeter Panthers of
coach Bob Ripa.
Exeter now with a 8-1-1 log
in the West Side Conference af-
ter its 6-0 upset of Dallas will
be tough for the Knights of Ed-
die Edwards if the forward wall
turns in another fine defensive
game as it did last week in
stopping the hard running Dal-
las backs.
Exeter with a number of lettermen
back presents a fairly good sized line
with Earl Blossi, an end, weighing
185; Sy Brown and Tom Roberto at
tackles go 201 and 196 respectively,
while guard Mike Babusko is 195.
Other key linemen included
Vinsco, end; Dan Kizis, guard and
Bob Dobranski, center,
The Panters have a crop of good
running backs in Joe Koslosky, Ed
Petrillo, Charles Voda, John Fenner,
John LaBar, Roger Beatty, Bill
Thomas and lineman Tom Biagotti
who has switched to the backfield.
Coach Eddie Edwards is hopeful
his first string quarterback Bob
Rogers will be set for this encounter
after sitting out the Edwardsville
fray with a knee injury.

seasons.
The Eagles show a record of 0
wins, two ties and four losses in
league play,
If the remainder of the Dallas
squad is in sound physical condition’
it should hand the Eagles the fifth

Game will be played'on the Dallas |
Junior High field at 2:00 P.M.
Coach Eddie Brominski will be |
faced with shifting some of his play-
ers around after the loss of his two |
right halfbacks in the Exeter game |
last Friday. John Farley, a 140 Ib.
scatback may get the starting nod |
at this position. Farley, a sophomore |
has shown plenty of hustle in earl-
ier games in a reserve role.
Coach Frank Thorik in his first
year at Edwardsville has a small and
inexperienced squad but is in the
process of rebuilding with a number
of promising underclassmen.
His two biggest linemen are Gene
Valanski at 235 Ib. and Ed Benesky
at 180, both tackles.
Probably the main offensive
threat on the ball club is Adam Zane
a 59”, 175 1b. senior, Zane used
mainly at end is also a hard running
halfback when called upon.
Other starters include Tom Walko,
Jerry Gronchick, Michael Nice, Gens |
Gingo, Joe Dula, Earl Wagstaff, John
Survilla, Mike Germak.
Underclassmen who have looked
good include Gronchick, Watkins
and Germak, freshmen; Survilla,
Kosier, Nice, Pelak, sophomores and
Marcovitz, Gingo, Sharock, juniors.
With a group of underclassmen
like this, Edwardsville could cause
plenty of headaches the next few
