By the time home-bound business- men started from Wilkes-Barre for the Back Mountain, roads were ex- tremely hazardous, and with snow still falling heavily, conditions worsened steadily, cars unable to make Huntsville Road and Machell Avenue hills. Motorists crawled from Luzerne to Dollas, taking an hour to two hours for the trip. Motorists were warned to stay off the roads if possible. By midnight the seven-inch snow- fall was tapering off and the tem- peratures plummeting. By daybreak, startled residents read fantastic temperatures, ten be- low, eighteen below, twenty below depend’ng on altitude and exposure.

Flack that the local goal for the 1963 Easter Seal drive is $22,500, an amount necessary to underwrite the cere- bral palsy program. The full scope cof ‘the Association's program last year provided more than 11,000 services to 366 children at a total cost of more than $54,000.

A Demunds boy, 17, and an Or- | ange sixteen-year-old, adjudged ‘“‘de- linquent” by Judge Richard Bige- low, were paroled in the custody of their parents after admitting to the theft of thirty gallons of gaso- line from a tractor belonging to Raymond Goeringer, Lake Louise, and twenty-five ,bales of hay from the Edward Grondowski farm, Or- ange. ‘ Joseph Yuglowski, Carverton, ad- | mitted to stripping a pick-up truck, lalso in Grondowski’s field, of a bat- i tery, directional signals, horn, rad- iator, manifold, and heater. The i Demunds boy admitted to helping him take the signals. | Yuglowski apparently had noth- ing to do with the gas and hay | episodes, and ‘the actions brought lin each case were separate and dis- tinct. Instrumental in the apprehension of the three, and of one Fernbrook i boy, sixteen years old, who was not prosecuted, was Chief of Police By- ron Kester, who, in the process of two weeks intensive investigation, | waited two nights in a barn on the Grondowski farm in hopes of catch- ing the boys in the act, and spent a day at iState Police barreelty ask- ing them questions. Still unsolved is the loss of some 70 more gallons of gasoline, and 71 more bales of hay, alleged miss- ing by Goeringer and Grondowski. Also alleged missing was a drive- shaft and transmission from. Gron- dowski’s truck. The two boys admitted to remov- ing the hay and gasoline in their own truck, and storing the bales in a field near the sixteen-year old’s home in Orange, and later carrying it to the other’s home near | Moore’s ‘Store to feed to his horse: | According’ to the ‘boys, seven baies were taken from a ‘field where the hay was stored under a piasiic cover, and eighteen from Goer- inger’s barn. Chief Kester questioned the two juveniles at Dallas High School earlier this month, and « arrested Yuglowski at his home Tuesday, January 22, and took him to Squire Frater for preliminary hearing after the boy admitted the theft at Wyo- ming Barracks. Aiding Kester in investigation was Trooper Donald Dorris. Parents of all the boys agreed to make restitution to the Frankiin Township farmers, but, in Juvenilc Court, this was not entered on the record and thus not mandatory. Post Ads Picked Up By Metro Cited As Unusual Out Of Ordinary It was recently discovered in a past issue of Metro’s Monthly Jour- nal of Advertising News and Lineage Building Ideas, that two ads that opreared in The Dallas Post had been picked up and sent out to Metro’s Plus Business readers across the country. The ads were dreamed up by Post advertising manager, Louise Marks, and were cited because they exhib- ited a broad gauged selling approach beyond ‘traditional apparel and school supply category usually pro- moted in Back To School editions. One ad was for Shorten Motor | Co. and the other ad was for Har- | veys Lake Light Company.

Toll-Free Calls To Valley To Start May, 1964 Project Requires Large-Scale Plans Bnd Construction Toll-free calling between Dallas and Wilkes-Barre-Kingston will be- come effective May 1, 1964, J. N. Landis, manager of Commonwealth Telephone Company's Dallas Dis- trict, announced today. The date was jointly reached by Commonwealth and The Bell Tele- phone Company which serves the Wilkes-Barre-Kingston area. Con- struction of outside plant and office equipment additions’ must be made by both companies to effect the change.

Elderly Recluse Is | ¥ Victim Of Coldest Winter Of The Century A seventy-six year old Dallas Township man whose frozen feet and hands would have required amputation if he had lived, died of exposure at General Hospital Monday morning, a victim of the coldest winter of the century. Harry Miller lived in a former milk shed attached to the lower level of a barn on the Warden farm near Kunkle. When Mr. Miller's plight was discovered by Andrew Race Saturday afternoon, there was no fire in the ramshackle stove, and Mr. Miller was bundled to the nine eyes in blankets and rugs, dogs huddled around him for warmth. There was food of a sort, but the victim had not been able to get out of bed because of his rag- ing fever. His body was reduced to a skeleton from starvation, his toes missing. Ordinarly, he walked to the store, sometimes hitching a ride to Wilkes- Barre to get meat butchered in the orthodox manner by a rabbi. Neigh- bors had not seen him on the road since the severe cold spell started. Mr. Race called Township Police Chief Frank Lange and Dallas am- bulance, staffed by Lane Jarrett and Tony Zachary. Leon Race took the farm animals home with him, adding to his own livestock the two goats, two sheep, two small calves, and three cows, for eventual sale. Mr. Miller's brother Morris came from Long Island. He had urged Harry to make his home with him, but Harry, a virtual recluse and determined to remain with his animals, refused. He would admit nobody to his quarters, where he lived alone and stored feed for his stock. He was buried Tuesday morning in the Jewish cemetery at Dalton.

Fire Displaces Idetown Couple In Icy Night Mrs. Emory Lozier Returns To Blaze For Husband's Coat Turned homeless and without possessions into a night which froze water in the fire-hoses Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Lozier are resting at their son Earl's, Park Street, after watching their Sgar- lat Lake home burn to the ground. Spreading quickly from a porch light-switch, the flames drove Mr. Lozier, discharged last week from the hospital, and his wife into the sub-zero air in only their night- clothes. With barely enough tiie to call the fire company, and then only with difficulty, Mrs. Lozier return- ed inside the blazing one and one half story house to find a gos for her husband. She was taken by a passing mo- torist to her son's home, and Earl Lozier came back in a car for his father, as Jonathan R. Davis and Daniel C. Roberts Fire Companies, Idetown and Harveys Lake, strug- gled with lines in the frozen night, and watched the remains until early Tuesday morning. Firemen cut through an estimated fourteen inches of ice on the lake for water to supplement that drawn from two pumpers and Idetown's tank truck. Twenty-five men from Idetown and fifteen from Harveys Lake con- tained the fire to the house, but could not save it. No other large buildings were threatened, although one or "two small sheds are nearby. Mr. Lozier = said his wife was stringing beads at the kitchen table, when he, coming from the living room, noticed the back porch light : going on and off. He flicked the switch, and in an instant flames enveloped the ceiling. While her husband turned off power in the fuse box, Mrs. Lozier . called Idetown Fire Company by operator, and was told there was none listed. Desperately she called the Harveys Lake Company, got through despite the misnomer. ler energy and will eriess by area employers whom she has helped out in their homes, pulled a coat from the smoke and was wrapping her husband in it when the Idetown fire engine arrived. Firemen put Mr. Lozier, who is still weak from his illness, in the heated cab. When Earl Lozier ar- rived, fireman Bill Casterline car- ried the older man to the waiting # car. Lost in the five-room wooden structure in addition to all clothes and possessions was a wallet con- taining $100, for which Earl and Mrs. Lozier returned to search. the next day. Mr. Lozier was formerly employed by the Devens Milling Company until major surgery was performed four years ago, necessitating the removal of one lung. Since that time he has been unable to work and has returned frequently to the hospital for treatment. The Loziers formerly lived at Kunkle, moving to the Idetown area eighteen months ago.’ The American Red Cross im- mediately offered assistance.
