Library Auction
Goes Into High
Barn Cleared Ready
For Influx Of Goods
George McCutcheon, with Key
Club members, worked at the Barn
on Monday, bringing out equipment
for setting up the Library Auction
grounds across the road on Lehman
Avenue. Space for reception of
goods for the Auction was released
on the second floor by removal of
tables used in the various booths,
lumber for the Auction Block, saw-
horses, and the bony framework for
the booths.
On the ground floor, members of
the Antiques and New Goods, com-
mittees now have free access to the
locked stalls. The passage is cleared.
Ziba Smith is in charge of setting
up the grounds, expects to tackle
it this weekend.
Nice new corner cabinet already
delivered. The Frog-Girl Fountain
has been horsed into the New Goods
locked stall for safety. Took three
stout Key Club men to move it.
Weighs a ton.
Frank Huttman called at the Post
Tuesday to pick up the Auction pos-.
ters for distribution to the Poconos,
Montrose and Tunkhannock areas,
and local places of - business. No
posters will be tacked to utility
poles this year. The border around

In Small Trailer
Fifteen In Family
Plan Amazing Trip
Summer, time for remarkable
trips, will see one made by one of
the Back Mountain's more remark-
able families, in a really remark-
able vehicle.
Dallas to Montana via Indiana is
the route of one eighteen foot trail-
er, two cars, thirteen kids (plus
one going part-way), and Mom and
Dad — Dr. and Mrs. Jay A. Young.
Dr. Young, professor at King’s
College, will teach chemistry at
summer session of Montana State
University, and the rest of the
family will have a vacation in the
Roeky Mountains.
How! to get thirteen children and
two adults to fit into such a trailer,
plus a station wagon, was a prob-
lem answered by the invention of
Dr. Young, an Exeter trailer manu-
facturer, and by the customary re-
silience of many youngsters used
to living close together.
Three-decker beds line both sides
and one end of the trailer, and
there is room for cots in the kitchen
area, .which comprises the other
end. Rest of the wall space is
closets and shelves. :
Last Friday the children were
delighted to explore the new ac-
quisition, and filed in and out, ex-
amining it, while Dr. Young and
the Mar-Val man secured all the
fixings.
Bound for the mountains will be:
Mike, Joe, Andrea, Theresa, Eileen,
Cathy, Gregory, Michael, Tommy,
John, Lucy, Margaret and Tonia,
and Mom and Dad.
Paul will work in this area; Ce-
celia will go only as far as Indiana,
where Mrs, Young's family will find
her summer work; and Dr. Young's
oldest son John will continue to
study.

Repairing Cruiser
After 2-Car Crash
Having put in many miles in
dutiful service investigating wrecks,
Lehman Township cruiser is under-
severe damage in a two-car collision
Monday night.
Car was driven by Chief of Police
Joe Ide, proceeding toward Lehman
through Idetown corners, and col-
lided around 11:45 with one driven
by Ronald May, Carpenter Road.
May had the light, according to
! the chief, who was responding to
a call that several men were trying
Ross Williams’ gas station doors
and windows. Joe turned on his
flashing light as he prepared to pass
the corners, but saw May, coming
from the left down old Lake Road,
too late, and hit him in the side.

First heard from were several

who ‘requested township officials

group, stated five homes were
already erected on the 1800 foot
U-shaped thoroughfare with six to
be built shortly and eight additional
lots available for homesites.

With ideal weather prevailing,
initial operations for new Dallas-Lu-
zerne Highway were slated by H.
J. Williams engineers for the middle |
of this week.
First among operations, said Su-
perintendent Howard Daubenspeck, |
were excavations for widening the |
“big bend” to six degree curve amd |
digging for: relocation of the rail- |
road.
Contractor hopes to begin paving |
by the end of the summer.
B. G. Coon Contruction Company,
under subcontract, will excavate
and grade on the upper end in
Shavertown and Dallas, and has!
been demolishing bridges.
Traffic impediment is not expect-
ed to be a problem until late sum-
mer at ‘the earliest, according to
the contractor, although Coongshovs
els have been blocking a lane of
the Toad for the last few days while
bridges are demolished.
The contractor will be chiefly
concerned now with cutting through
the mountain at the bend. Biggest
problem and factor determining the
| speed of excavation will be weather.
| Twelve to fourteen Euclid trucks |
| will be used to remove dirt from
| the mountain, on which utilities
were forced to move power lines
and a tower late last month.
Simultaneously this week, oper-
atioms for relocating railroad track
from = just below Harter’s to the
bend, two-thirds of a mile, will be-
gin.
The big Bucyrus-Erie shovel was
almost assembled and ready to go
at press time, and will be principal
machine - in the exeavation. It
would -be hard to say, according to
the superintendent, just when the
digging would be completed. Cer-

mountain are service roads built
by utilities to move their power lines and towers,
and will be used by contractor too.
Contractor Prepares For Digging:
Hopes To Pave By Summer's End
tainly not by the end of July, he
said, when asked.
Paving will begin, one lame at a
time, at either end of the road,
depending on whether Coon or Wil-
liams gets finished excavating first.
All paving will be done by Wil-
liams.
Much of the present road level
will be maintained, especially in
Dallas-Hillside strip.
In ‘the meantime, recommenda-
tions were being made by local
officials ‘that Bunker Hill and Ply-
mouth Mountain Roads be used by
motorists. Otherwise, = motorists
should obey newly installed 35 mph
signs.

Is Endangered
Budget Fails To Pass At
School Board Session
After tentative budget was discus-
sed and deleted at many special
meetings of Dallas Area School
Board, final draft failed to be
adopted at a meeting of Directors
and Administration Tuesday night.
Two-thirds vote required for pas-
sage of the $1,212,450 amended
1963-64 budget failed when seven
directors voted for, and five against.
One director, Mannear, was absent.
An attempt to get item by item
vote on the budget breakdown also
met with defeat. Bodycomb, Wright,
Steinhauer, Vernon, E. Phillips,
Stanley and W. Phillips voted in
the affirmative, with Sickler, Rich-
ardson, Davis, Mitchell and Whit-
taker opposing.
A spirited discussion followed:
Mrs. Vernon observed “This is hard
to understand. It is unfair to map
a program for our children and then
not go along with it. We hashed all
the expenditures over a number of
times. Nothing was said then.”
Whittaker replied, “I was in favor
of 80 mills but not 82.” Stanley
said, “The revenue was not enough
last year.”
Dr. Mellman stated, “It is my job
to recommend a program in the best
eliminated where we could. We
checked with the Economy League
to see if we were out of line. We
may get through on 82 mills. We
have taken out everythiig' chat we
agreed to delete. This is what the
Board approved. What area of the
Stanley asked, “If you want a 78
mill budget, please identify items
you want out. ‘Richardson replied,
“We can get along on 78 mills. We.
did it last year. New business will
rebuild on the highway.”
Sickler spoke up, “We owe it to
Dr. Mellman that last year was a
success.” Dr. Mellman explained,
“Ten teachers left last year. That
will not be repeated.”
“It is silly to spend so many
hours going over budget and then
come in and waste time,” stated
E. Phillips.
Dr. Mellman stated he would lose
one of his best teachers. Richard-
son said, “I am not in sympathy
with the matter.

Stanley remarked, “Is it sensible
to pay $4000 interest on $12,000?"
and Earl Phillips asked, “Should’

With no solution readily forth-!
coming, the Board moved on to
other matters, Dr. Bodycomb pre-
