Body Of Dentist
Found Two Days
After His Death
Dritts From Snowplow
Piled Around Parked
" Car At Shavertown
Dead two days from a heart at-
tack in his parked car, while ob-
livious shoppers bustled in and out
of Shavertown Shopping Center and
ploughs piled new fallen
snow higher and higher about the
vehicle, the body of Dr. Carl E.
Hergert of Harveys Lake was dis-
covered Thursday afternoon at 3.
Absence of snow under the car
indicated that it had been parked
before snow started to fall at mid-
night on Tuesday.
It was the only car in the lot:
that had snow on the windshield
Thursday afternoon. The vent on
the driver's side was open, also
the window on the passenger’s side
was lowered two inches, Nothing
was visible, nothing to show that
the car held a passenger.
Dr. Hergert, it is assumed, may
have completed his shopping and
come back to the car, Two Valen-
tines and his hat were on the back
seat. He himself apparently got
into the passenger's seat. He had
been complaining for some time
of severe pain in his shoulder and
stomach, and may have needed to
stretch out more comfortably than
in a cramped position behind the
wheel.
Mrs. Marie Perrego, Dallas R. D.
3, parking beside the snow-banked
car Thursday afternoon, saw
through the window what looked
like a tumbled blue blanket. Look-
ing closer, she saw that a man in
a blue overcoat was slumped on the
seat, his head fallen below the
steering wheel. She went into
Dicton’s Bal ipiy to ¢ 1 the news,
and summo police. *
Herbert Updyke, Kingston Police,
called Lake [Police Chief Edgar
Hughes to break the news to Mrs.
Hergert, when the victim had been
pronounced dead by Dr. Malcolm
Borthwick and Dr. H. G. Gal-
lagher.
He was buried in Denison Ceme-
tery Saturday afternoon.
Dr. Hergert, who recently reopened
his dental office in Miner's Na-
~ tional Bank after a number of years
in Florida, had called his wife Vir-
ginia Tuesday afternoon to saw
that he was coming home.
Born in Wilkes-Barre August 9,
1909, Dr. Hergert was a son of Mrs.
Johanna Hergert, and = the
“land.
Surviving in addition to his
mother and widow are children,
7"Mrs, Charlie Adams, Richmond, Va;
"Mrs. Fred Tesher, Hollywood, Fla.;

Steep Hill, Ice
Cause Collision
A Kingston woman was hospital
jzed at General last Wednesday
night, suffering from a dislocated |
right hip, result of a collision be- |
tween her car and a jeep in Beau-
mont.
Mrs. Edna Lake, 46, passenger in |

Howard, 4, were treated for contu- |
sions and he himself for abrasions
of chest and left knee at Noxen !
Clinic.
Mrs. Lake was transported in the
Noxen ambulance.

burned in the exp.osion of a port-
able gasoline stove Saturday morn-
ing, is reported in fair condition
at Veteran's Hospital.
Mr. Derhammer’'s upper body,
arms and face were badly burned

preparing to fry potatoes.
Protecting himself with a heavy
woolen jacket, he carried the stove
outdoors and threw it into the
snow. The jacket and ail other
clothing above the waist, doused
with gasoline, were burned from
his body.
His wife and son Carl, 11, rushed
to the victim ‘and threw blankets
about him to smother the f ames.
Mrs. Derhammer’s face and hands
were burned.
The explosion set kitchen curtains
afire, Children of the family tore
them down, extinguished the blaze.
. Dallas Township Frank (Pete)
Lange, next door, heard Derham-
mer’s agonized shout and ran to
the house. Dr. A. A. Mascali gave
the injured man a shot before he
was rushed to Veterans Hospital.
Staffing Dallas Community ambul-
ance were Robert Block and Edwin
Roth.
Just one week before Mr. Derham-
mer’s accident, his son Carl Jr.
narrowly escaped death when he
flung himself from the <'ed #n which
he was coasting downhill in his
yard, a split second before it was
crushed beneath the wheel of a
car. His playmate, Billy Belles, pi-]
loting the sled, was killed.

Dear and unknown Sir;
These days our providence dis-
tributed some clothes which you
send to us from America.
Inside one of the pockets of your
coat we found this address. This
gave me the opportunity to write
to you and describe my family.
My hometown is Syros, the capi-
tal of the (island of) Cycladon. I
have four children, three girls and
one boy. My name is Ioannis
Bacondios. I am a private clerk.
Here at Syros we earn our living
through hard work, because the
salary is low, and things are ex-
pensive. We accepted the clothes,
the flour and other things which
you send to us with great pleasure,
because we could really use them.
We thank you ever so much for
Sincerely yours,
Ioannis Bacondios
and family

Solicitors For Drive
A meeting Dallas Borough
and Township area captains for
the 1962 Heart Fund drive was held
by Mrs. Paul Salingo, Dallas chair-
man, at Orchard Farms Restaurant
last Tuesday evening.
Solicitors’ kits were distributed
and plans for the Drive which has
‘begun in the Back Mountain this
month and will continue through
the first two weeks in March, were
discussed.
Captains reported little or no
trouble getting women to serve as
solicitors. ~ Mrs. Selingo said ‘The
needs of the Heart Association con-
tain a personal message for all
Americans. They have "a special
meaning for wives and mothers by
tradition the guardians of family
health, Women all too frequently
see youngsters struggle gallantly
to overcome handicaps of rheu-

fects. They know of husbands,

suddenly by heart attack or stroke
in the prime of life. No age group
is immune. Women understand

Drive for the Back Mountain, and
Mesdames George Thomas, Harry
Burns, Donald Weidner, George
Budd, Hyman Lull, Franklin Gager,

Carol Ann Williams wore a tiara
at the Valentine Dance at Johns-

by 500 other trainees to be Queen
of the Sweetheart Swing, an honor
which left her speechless.
Carol Ann, daughter of Mr. and

she kept up with her work and

With an eye to the future, and

Noxen Men See
How Westover
Got New Plant
NEED Group Visits
Town Where Tannery
Closed Two Years Ago
Three representatives of NEED,
Noxen Employment, Enterprise and
Development Association, visited
Westover Saturday to learn how
that Western Pennsylvania hamlet
has attracted a new industry to
replace its /tannery which closed
more than two years ago.
Making the trip were David Fritz,
Franklin Patton and Leo Lord who
have been leaving no stones un-
turned to attract a new fndustry

formed by the mo
northwest of =~ ei —— the
same problem as Noxen when its
single industry owned by Armour
Leather Company closed.
Now its citizens are thrilled by
the ‘announcement that the Raser
Tanning Company, an upper leather
processor, has purchased the aband-
oned tannery buildings and will em-
ploy 200 men where only eighty
were employed before.
In addition . the Raser Company
has offered to reemploy every able
bodied man in the community re-
gardless of age and will train some
of these men for key skilled jobs.
magic used? Were there any mis-
takes? That 'was what the Noxen
group wanted to learn when they
made their visit so that they could
profit by the experience of West-
over's citizens.
They learned that Westover is
only half the size of Noxen; that
its tannery was not near so large
or modern, nor is it located as close
to arterial highwaysy
But the citizens of Westover had
spirit and determination.
None of them sold their homes
nor were there any vacant houses
in town. Many of the men found
jobs elsewhere but retained their
homes in Westover.
The outlook was bleak, but the
citizens formed a committee and
purchased the plant buildings from
Armour Leather Company for a
nominal sum. Citizens signed pers-

even placing mortgages on their |
homes. Only one person defaulted |
during the two year period while |
the plant stood idle and that was |
| because of personal misfortune.
The committee worked closely with
the State Department of Commerce
new industry, but none was forth-
coming.
There were other problems, too,
taxes, liability insurance, and other
expenses had to be met. “Finally”
in the words of Ernest Wagner, one
of the Westover committee mem-
bers - interviewed by the Noxen
group,” we reached the point where
we couldn't have hung on much
longer.”
Then the mirac'e happened. A
former Armour Leather Company
employee working in Ohio learned
that a firm wanted other quarters
outside of Ohio. He brought the
closed Westover p'ant to its atten-
tion with the result that the build-
ings were sold and the plant is
now occupied.
Mr. Wagner told the Noxen
group. “Hard work, a dedicated com-
munity working together—and luck
all played their part in bringing
a bright future to Westover.”
