Rustin C. Line
Resigns Post
As Supervisor
Kingston Township
Made Strides Under
Former Army Officer
With the resignation of ‘Austin C.
Line after serving only two and one
half ‘years of a six-year term as
Kingston Township Supervisor, the
community loses a valuable man,
one who can ill' be spared from
public life.
When Major Line, a retired Army
officer, was prevailed upon to run
in the 1959 primaries, he realized
that it would take a great deal of
his time, but time was what he had
to offer Kingston Township, and
time is what he- has - ‘spent unstint-
ingly. :
For two years he was chairman
of * the . board. His methodical ap-
proach to civic affairs is evidenced
by his setting up a suspense” list,
on which were noted items such as |
when Daylight Saving would start, |
when it would end, the dates that
called for ‘erection of snow fences,
dates for probable beginning of the
heavy storm season with conse-
quent: snowplow service indicated,
etc.
Cooperating with the Post Office
Department, he organized pro-
cedures for numbering of houses
and laying out of postal zones. He
was one of the prime organizers of
the Planning and Zohing Commis-
sion: Kingston Townghip’s plan, al-
ready drawn up, is cited as a model
for other communities.
Asphalt paving of trial streets in
Kingston Township, Spring, Ridge
and part of Franklin, along with
Odk Street at Trucksville grade
school, was sparked by Mr. Line,
who observed the neat job done by
B. G. Coon heavy equipment on
Franklin Street, Dallas, and sold the
idea to Kingston Township. '
Recently, Mr. Line has been con-
cerned with the shrinking of tax-
ables in Kingston Township, due to |
the Highway program and now the |
projected condemnation of land in
the Carverton area for a dam and
recreation project.
As™ Ted Poad, former tax collec-
tor states,
for awhile, until building of new |
homes catches up with the situa-
tion. Taking so many properties
off the list of taxables means money
has to be found somewhere else.”
Mr. Line gives as his reason for
retirement, his health. Each week
he goes to Veterans: Hospital for a
check-up.

You Can Still
Go To The Game
Birlines Will Get
You There In Time
Back Mountain Little League fans.
If you're reading the Post early e-
nough this morning, and should de-
cide at the last minute to take in|
1
the game at Medford, you might still
be able to make it to Avoca and get
a seat on Allegheny Airlines’ 9:59
[flight to Boston.
The plane ‘will get there in about
two hours and forty minutes, givin,
you some four and one half hours |
to look over the town, and do the
game-time.
{about the 12:50 p.m. flight, with one |
| stop in New York ? That still allows
more ‘than an hour and a half be-
tween the Boston airport and the |
| first pitch.
| Round-trip fare is $49.50, and there
{is probably a cancellation you could
fill.
If you can’t make it Thursday,
and decide to go to Saturday’s game
(provided: we win) the latest plane
you can catch is the 9:59 Saturday
morning. A realy zealous fan could
be sitting in the stands by 2, game-
time, if he taxied to Medford, (locat-
ed on the outskirts of Boston).
For those more cautious about
flight Friday night at 8:40.
Now for the real adventurer: There.
{are two late buses, Greyhound Fri-
day night at 8:40, Martz (connecting
with Trailways in New York) at
takes twelve hours under optimum
conditions, and taking that Martz
coach means cutting time close.
Take some coffee. Round trip fare
is $23.98.

They were accompanied by Bob
Parry, president of Back Mountain
Baseball for Boys, Al Williams, vice~
president, Paul Steinhauer, secre-
tary, and Jim Price, district com-
missioner, who will assist in rune
ning the three games.
No matter what happens today,
the boys will be in ‘Boston until
Sunday after the play-offs, either
clambering around great monuments
to our nation’s history, or else
fighting out the Saturday show=
down. Friday, in any event, is a
day of rest for all teams, so they
can have a chance to look aver old
Boston.
If Dubil can down Massachusetts,
which would be his fifth win, Chuck
Kern will have the mound cleared
for action to cop the ‘last step
toward Williamsport Saturday.
Dubil removed Williamsport Fei-

served, had been nervous before. It
{ was all part of the game.
| Monday and Tuesday were light
' practices for Back Mountain. Spon-
seller was chiefly interested in hit-
ing power, and ran his boys through
exercises at bat. “The infield”, he
noted, can take care of itself. “But
almost all these guys are potential
hitters if they loosen up their eye
a little.”
Jack Bestwick, Assistant Manager,
has been in Boston since the begin-
ning of thé week, being on'vacation
from his job at the Harveys Lake
Light Company. He planned to visit
his wife's parents till his team ar-

If Back Mountain should win the
series at Medford, the boys will be
flown directly to Williamsport on
Sunday by National Little League
to take part in the World Series
events which open there on Mon-
day. Otherwise they will retum home
by bus on Sunday.
