Luzerne And
St. Johns Play
Here Saturday
Back Mountain football fans will
be able to see their favorite team
* in action this weekend as both Back
Mountain grid teams are home in
non-conference tilts
Luzerne will furnish the épposi-
KJ tion for Dallas on the Junior High
School field at 2:00 p.m.,
Lake-Lehman will meet St. John’s
® at Lehman starting at 2:00 p.m.
This will be the first time for
the Back Mountain teams to face |
these. opponents.
LUZERNE VS. DALLAS
- Luzerne, unofficially .a member
of the West Side Conference is
hopeful of being admitted ‘to the
conference next season if the school
does” not decide to drop the grid
sport.
Luzerne has yet to win a game
since 1957 although it has managed
a few ties.
The Lions coached by Joe Kurp-
is, former Luzerne and King’s Col-
lege gridder,
ties and 2 losses for the season.
Luzerne opened the season with .a
surprise . 0-0 tie with Forty-Fort;
then ran into a powerful Wyoming |
eleven, losing ' 21-0; followed by a
8-6. tie” with Edwardsville then last
® Saturday lost to Newport 20-0.
According to. these statistics Dal-
las should have little trouble in
(turning back the Lions, but records
g do not always speak for themselves.
It could be the boys from Dallas
will not be up for this encounter
since, it's a non-conferece tilt and
‘the Lions could spring an upset.
ST. JOHN’S VS. LAKE-LEHMAN
This will be the first game for
a St. John’s team to visit the Back
Mowntain and it looks as though
‘the Wnights will have their work
cut owt for them if they hope to
stop a hig St. Jon's eleven.
The Johnnies are not affiliated
with any conference and play in-
dependent ball. They meet three
WSC. foes this season.
They lost a heartbreaker to
Wyoming 6-0 in the opening game
of the season .and the following
. ok lost another thriller, 13-12 to
Exeter. :
St. John’s sports a 2-4 record on
the season, having lost its first too
. outings: mentioned above then fol-
lowed up with successive shutouts
over Carbondale 21-0 and St.
-Michael’s* 13-0 before losing to
Duryea 34-0 and last week dropped
‘a 14-6 verdict to Jenkins Twp.
Coach John Hopkins in his first
season at the helm of St. John’s
presents a big line with Pete Boy-
anowski the heaviest at 275. Other
‘linemen include Len Hoover, an end |
at 214; Alan Moffitt, a tackle at 247; |
‘Mike Loughney, a tackle at 205 and
John Durkin another tackle at 190.
In the backfield the = Johnnies
have two fine juniors in Tom
Gubbiotti and Bob Walsh. The loss
of Gubbiotti in the Jenkins Twp.
fray due to an injury hampered the
St. John’s attack. Another fine back
.is senior Jerry Mularkey.
. Coach Eddie Edwards may have to
unveil some new plays for this game
since its pretty hard running over
such big linemen as the Johnnies.

Fire Delays
Dallas Post
Flash Fire Damages
Intertype Machine
A flash fire during welding opera- ,
tions Monday night seriously dam- |
aged one of The Dallas Post's Inter-
type machines and made it appear
for a time that this newspaper would
not make its scheduled appearance’
today.
‘Willard Peck, publisher of The
Pittston Gazette, kindly came to Shopping
our assistance ‘and set ‘most of
the type for this week's issue of 4
The fire yésulted when the flame
from an aceytlene toreh, being used
by August ‘Walters of Dallas Port-
able Welding Company to mend a
broken machine part, came in con-
tact with one of the plastic keys
on the machine keyboard.
Instantly flames shot six feet high
consuming all of the other keys,
destroying leather belts and scorch-
ing the machine,
Mr. Walters threw his sweater
over the flaming keyboard while
other employees: used a :fire ex-
tinguisher and water in an attempt
to put out the fire, but the plastic
burned as quickly and as intensely |
as celluloid.. Damage was estimated
at $500.
Exeter And Lehman Tie
Underdog Lake-Lehman battled
Exeter to a 19-19 tie Friday night
at Exeter stadium.
Lake-Lehman scored on marches
of 46 and 9 yards along with re-
covering a blocked kick in the end-
zone.
Exeter put together two drives’
of 80-yards and an 88-yard run by!
Charlie Voda, halfback who was the
standout all evening.
Bed-Rock Delays
Laying Of Mains
For Natural Gas
Trencher Stymied
By Boulders, Crew
Uses Jackhammers
Work crews laying four-inch
natural gas mains along Pioneer
Avenue last week ran into bed-
rock which the trencher could not
handle. For 300 feet boulders had
to be broken wi h jackhammers.
Normally, the stretch would
have been finished in less than
half a day, welders, bulldozers
and tampers following the trench-
er.
The superintendent sta’ed that
under = ordinary conditions 2,000
feet could be laid comfortably in
a 10-hour day.
Already laid is an eight inch
main from intersection of Route
118 with the Harveys Lake high-
way, down to Mill Street; four-
inch mains up Mill Street and
Woodlawn Avenue to the ceme-
tery; down the highway to the
A & P.
Mains will go down Center
Street in Shavertown to the Shop-
ping Center, branching from Pi-
oneer Avenue. At ihe Quaker Mo-
tel, mains will bore under the
highway and under Toby's Creek.
Elmcrest and Haddonfield
Heights will get mains.
Eighteen men are on the job.
As trenches are excavated, a side-
boom caterpillar tractor with
claws lifts the sections from a pipe?
truck and lowers them. Arc-weld-
ing apparatus follows, sealing the
joints, which are then {further
sealed against moisture by wide
plastic tape.
Workers: fill * in carefully ‘a-
round the pipe with soft dirt to
-| guard against bruising: Bulldozers
follow with coarser dirt and small :
stone.
A taming machine follows the
bulldozer.
Driveway entrances will be re-
stored to their original state upon
completion of the work.

Back Mountain
Again Failing
To Measure Up
Business Places
Have Given Only
10% Of $2,343 Goal
With just seven more days to go
in the 1962 Torch Campaign, leaders
are turning special attention on the
sections running behind in the
overall campaign.
Back Mountain area, both West
Metropolitan and Suburban Business,
are far behind. West Metropolitan
Division covers residential solicita-
tion while the Suburban Business
conducts solicitation among the
merchants and business places.
Fund officials point out that the
residential solicitation is not a door-
to-door” campaign. Only those in-
dividuals who have indicated that
they wish to give at home or are
not included in the solicitation at
their place of employment are in-
cluded.
For the Back Mountain, the Sub-
urban Buiness goal is $2,343. As of
last Monday's report meeting only
$245—or just 10.4 per cent of that
goal had been reached.
The Metropolitan Division has a
goal of $6,658. Reported in so far
is $3,423 or 51.4 per cent.
Campaign leaders point out that
the 52 member agencies provide ser-
vices to people in all sections and
last year more than 90,000 individ-
ual services were rendered to people
of Wyoming Valley United Fund
area. Ss :
In the Back Mountain more than
‘4,700 services to people of all ages
were provided. Such vital services
as those provided by the hospitals,
the various agencies working with
children, the youth and recreation
services—all these were given io
people here,
It is up to the Back Mountain
people to support—and support
adequately—the work of the agen- §
| cies by “fair share” support in the - 7
annual Torch Campaign, Fund lead. ;
ers said, :
“In the closing days of this an-
nual appeal you will be contacted
by a campaign solicitor, if you have
not already been asked for your.
pledge, give your fair share.” :
