FIRM SAYS TANNERY SALE
HINGES ON LEGAL POINT;
BUYER NOT A DISMANTLER
Armour Leather Company of-
ficials in Chicago confirmed
Monday that their Noxen tan-
nery was under negotiation for
sale, and expressed hope that
sale would be concluded soon.
Conclusion of contract hinged
on one fine point in the instru-
ment which attorney for buyer
asked clearified.
Not at liberty to identify the
' the prospective buyer, Ralph
Deemer, manager of the Real
Estate division, told the Post
that the party itself was NOT a
. dismantling firm.
Mr. Deemer said ‘he hadn’t
the foggiest idea what the buy-
er intended to do with the plant,
_ or what ‘product, if any, would
be produced there.
Noxen tannery is Armour’s
only such plant closed and still |
unsold. It folded late in 1961 for
economic reasons, but at one
point had an annual payroll of
$7000,000, and once employed
217 persons.
Things were looking up in
Noxen when Post received word
of the negotiations from Wil-
liamsport April 11. Since then,
months passed with no assur-
ance to the people there.
Things looked up in Noxen
again this week.
Peace In Tax Dispute Could End
40-Year Borough-Township Quarrel
It was a big time for Dallas. A
magnificent new highway was un-
der construction, reaching out to-
ward Dallas from Luzerne. the con-
tractor encountering traffic hang-
ups daily.
Borough amd Township were try-
ing to reconcile differences, not
least of which was a boundary dis-
pute. which was finally settled on
the line of Center Hill Road.
Even the school children got in
the act. The Borough student coun-
cil refused to let their basketball
team play the Township.
The papers quietly enumerated
sheriff’s sales without comment, but
the sale covered pages.
The year was 1929.
July 1963 began a new month,
and with a new month municipalities
were scheduled to meet -- Township
tonight, Borough Tuesday.
Township supervisors continued
to hold $4500 real estate transfer
tax from Natona Mills, sent. last
year by mistake by the county. Ac-
cording to the deed, the mill was
still in ‘the township, but, unknown
to the clerks inthe court house, the
the Superior Court had adjudged
the mill's annexation to the borough
valid.
President supervisor Fred Lamor-
eaux held fast to the money for
months, ostensibly because he be-
lieved, on certain grounds, that
Natona was still in the township,
but chiefly because he had received
what he thought to be a very im-
polite request from the borough to
send them the money.
At common law the borough was
left only one choice -- to sue Natcma
Mills for money they still, by law,
owed, thus forcing the Township to
be a third-party defendant.
Council voted at the May meeting
to give Natcha and the Township
until June 15, five days after the
township’s meeting, to pay.
Township solicitor Frank Town-
end was out on army reserve moemn-
euvers and classes when the town-
ship met in June, so no action was
taken.
The borough was impatient, and
the deadline passed. No suit had
been filed by the borough, but it
was plainly not because they were
afraid to.
It was hot. Two great community
events for the Back Mountain were
coming up, and people were trying
to get off on vacation.
In the wind were the unspoken
words that would calm the whole
thing. Both solicitors’ and super-
visors would be meeting soon.
Lawsuits are ugly things, which
rarely benfit anyone in the end,
and $4500 might just about cover
things in a showdown; gsolicitor’s
retainers do not include lawsuits.
‘It was a time to shake hands.
New Cruiser Here In 3 Or 4 Weeks;
Open Police Docket Is Approved
Kingston Township supervisors
ordered a new Ford Fairlane Police
Ranger for its law officers Wednes-
day evening at an adjourned meet-
ing of the board.
Ford Motor Twins, submitting the
only bid, received the order with
delivery promised in three to four
weeks. Purchase price was $2,646.70.
An allowance of $940.70 was. grant-
ed on the three year old cruiser
leaving a cash balance of $1,706.00
to be paid.
Missing from the patrol car will |
be the turret light, deletion of which
was requested by Chief Herbert
Updyke. Lettering will be painted
on new vehicle after arrival,
Jack Berti, is traffic deputy for
B. G. Coon (Construction Company,
following request of the contractor
for an officer to control traffic dur-
ing work on the highway.
Secretary of the Board, Edward
Richards was instructed to notify
Coon Company that such employees
must be placed under compensation
by hiring firm.
Chief Updyke reported that he
had been criticized for police cases
printed in the newspapers and ask-
ed if he was allowed to use his
judgment on items released for
publication.

MORE THAN A NEWSPAPER, A COMMUNITY INSTITUTION
Library Auction Started Pint-Size,
Grew Over Years To A Lusty Giant
by HIX
It's a giant now, but it started
| out as the smallest of pygmies. The
first Library Auction was launched
on a ‘Let's let the little women
fun, and we men will
come and bid, just to give them a
lift” approach, an amused recog-
nition of the spirit of the women
of the community who wanted to
do their bit by helping the fledgl-
ing Library along.
It was the brainchild of Miss
Frances Dorrance and the late Mrs.
Lewis LeGrand, aided and abetted
by Miss Miriam Lathrop, the first
librarian.
The women hoped to make a
thousand dollars, with any kind
of luck, and if the weather coop-
erated.
It rained, and. people hid with
umbrellas dripping down their!
Nothing could dampen the
enthusiasm. It was a warm rain,
and nobody really minded. Every-
body in: the area sat on damp boxes,
and made foolish bids on things
they ‘could not possibly use.
Area auctioneers contributed their
services, among them Herman
When the Auction was over, an in-
credible amount had been realized,
almost $4,000. The little women
had made a big splash and the men
woke: to the fact that an Auction
might well be the answer to the
ever-present need for funds.
Everything was contributed. Wo-
men made their own brand of po-
tato salad and baked beans for the
refreshment booth.
Women dug .up their cherished
perennials.
Women parted with moustache
cups and treasured carved ivory
chess sets, bringing them with their |
own hands and panting with emo-
tion as the objects were knocked:
down to the highest bidder.
Howard Risley’s Barn had found
itself a new career.
The Auction moved into its next
phase.
Harry Ohlman superseded. the
commercial auctioneers, and Harry
Ohlman and Howard Risley took
the spotlight. Harry got away with
murder. Nobedy but Harry could
hold up a plastic toilet seat, grin
through it at the crowd, and insutaty
folks to frame their mother-in-law.
Nobody but Harry could demon-
strate the rowing machine which
mysteriously appeared each year on
the auction block, or lean back in
the swivel desk chair to show how
Doc Jeter
bank.
Nobody but Harry could shake
out that motheaten raccoon coat
year after year, and sell it to Doc
Schooley. Somebody could always
be counted on to swipe it back in
advance of the Auction.
Howard and Harry, in their coon-
skin caps,

Harveys Lake Team
Takes League Flag
, Harveys Lake Lions Little League
team took the Bob Horlacher League
pennant Friday night in a walk-
away game with Beaumont, 21-3.
. It was the first time in five years
that the Lakemen had won that
honor, which was due them after
knocking out the third-place team
despite two more games with Nox-
en, which was in second place.
Bainbridge was winning pitcher,
and Sichler the loser. Coaches for
Harveys Lake are Al Wendel and
Joe Parsons; for Beaumont, Warren
Johnson.
Beaumont had one consolation.
They are expected to have a very
‘strong team, and will lose only one
man next year.
New Sound Rattles
People And Windows
It could've been the day the Rus-
sians bombed Dallas, Thursday.
A siren filled the landscape and
shook the windows — like no other
siren the town ever heard. It
whistled through the trees far out
in East Dallas.
Ten blasts and then silence; then
ten more and then silence; and
SO on.
Cars pulled to the side of Main
Street, and people gathered in the
alleys. The fire phones rang con-
stantly as people demanded to know
where the blaze was.
But it was just the first test of
Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company’s
new siren, so powerful it requires
105 amperes to start.
Said Joe Hand who lives nearby:
“I'll have to put seat belts on my
bed. 2”
Fire Destroys
Updyke Home
Lightning Strikes
When Couple Away
A bolt of lightning” struck the
home and Meadow View Christian
Book Store owned and operated
by Rev. and Mrs. Rolland Updyke,
Sweet Valley, early Saturday morn-
ing, igniting it.
The severe electrical storm sweep-
ing through the area set the garage
afire and spreading flames destroy-
ed the entire back section of the
home.
Sweet Valley , Volunteer Fire
Company, responding to the call,
battled valiantly to prevent total
destruction. . Although the front
was saved, heavy smoke and water
damage left all contents a complete
loss.
Particularly of grief to the Up-
dykes was the destruction of their
bookshop items.
Rev. and Mrs. Updyke were away
at the time, attending the Tioga
River Christian Conference at Lake
Arrowhead.
The couple will have to rebuild
and are residing in Oscar White-
sell's apartment at Oakdale until
they can return to their former
home.

Key Club Helps Load The Auction
It isn’t such heavy work as all
that, lifting the two-pound basket
chair to the second floor of the

could find in a hurry.
