Mrs. Herbert Lundy had come up from Florida to see her building sold, and when the high- est bid, offered by Kozick, was only $26,000, the sale was stopped. Mrs. Lundy amd her attorneys would not consider sale for less than $30,000. : Mr. Kozick declined to say what he finally paid for the property. Immediate plans are for re- tion of a new roof, but the bar will be opened as soon as the transfer license is received. The new owner, who has been in teem years, says he and his wife are strongly considering occupying the large penthouse apartment in the building.

Dallas Summer Reading Clinic Progress Reviewed; Local Educator Sees New Program As Valuable by William A. Austin | Coordinator of the brand- new Summer Reading Clinic, William A. Austin, evaluates the ‘course here for the Post’s school issue, and tells what the program was trying to accomp- lish. Note the remarkable at- tendance, unusual, as Mr, Aus- tin says, for a summer school. Ed. Educational research shows that there is a tendency for reading dis- abilities to occur among one third of the school population regardless of the method of basic reading in- struction employed. These reading problems seem to be much more prevalent among boys. In order to meet the needs of these pupils and facilitate their academic progress in the future, the Summer Reading Clinic was established. Our immediate aim was to pro- vide imtensive instruction in the fundamental reading skills (ie. word attack skills, word recognition) and in the improvement of reading com- prehension. The ultimate objective is to im- prove the quality of reading in- struction throughout the Dallas School District ‘by helping the class= room teacher with the more serious reading disorders. It is hoped that this program will help to improve not only the children’s reading abil- ity but their attitudes and study habits as well. The pupils enrolled in this pro- gram were originally referred to us by their classroom teacher. The cumulative record folder containing results of achievements and mental | ability tests was consulted to de- termine whether or not each child had the capacity to display an im- provement in their reading. A total of 159 children were invited to par- ticipate in the summer program. Of this number, 90 accepted our in- vitation. Final enrollment reached 125 pupils, with about 110 pupils in attendance daily. Such attendance is somewhat unique for a summer Ambulance Calls Dallas Ambulance made the fol- lowing calls this week: _ Mrs. Harry Swepston, Sr. crest Drive, Hospital, 7:30. a.m. Thursday, Bob Besecker and Don Bulford attend- ing. .

During the week of July 8, each child was administered an individual diagnostic reading test, a group in- telligence test, and a reading test. On the basis of the information ob- tained, each child was assigned to’ ome of fourteen different groups. The parents were informed of: (1) the reading level on which the child | was functioning, (2) his specific | disability, (3) the type of instruct- ion he was to receive. Teachers were provided with the latest materials available for the teaching of reading. These included: The Controlled Reader, Reading Ac- celerator, SRA Reading Laboratory, Webster Reading Laboratory, and charts, flashcards and patented ma- ! terials for the Phono-visual ap- proach to reading instruction. In ad- | dition to the devices used by the teachers in providing individual in- | struction, a ‘complete set of basic readers which have here-to-fore not been used in the Dallas School Dis- trict was made available. A colorful paper-back library containing books of high interest at various reading recreational reading materilas. These books proved to be very popular with the students who attended our program. | In order ‘that these children will not be deprived of reading materials in the future, arrangements" have been made with the Back Mountain | Library to obtain library cards for | each of our ‘graduates’. Instruction consisted of 40 min- utes per day of individual instruct- Ion and 40 minutes of direct reading activities.

S. T. Abood saw the crops this summer as ‘good, if the weather holds up”, and Ivan Sponholtz de- scribed them as “fair”. A mild cold snap has slowed the business’ down, but Mr. Abood thought things would be in full swing this coming week. ‘“We can sure use the sun”, he noted. Even green tomatoes have to ripen some, and although many big semi-trailer trucks are drawing loads for the markets out of Centermoreland, these are strictly first of the crop. (See pictures, this page.) Severe frosts this past spring did mot damage the overall A harvest picture, according to Mr. Sponholtz, since farmers had enough time to replant, olina and Florida truck companies Cross-country trucks from Car- are now lined up at Orchard Farms Restauramt and up and down the Centermoreland-Falls road, hub of the industry. Sponholtz Corporation is doing fairly brisk business in the early crop, and many buyers and trucks are in evidence. Unlike Sponholtz, who packs and ships green tomatoes from a num- ber of smaller independent farms in the Orange - Centermoreland - East Dallas area, Abood does most of his own growing, and has been holding off for a week for this warmer weather. GREAT NATIONAL HARVEST Back Mountain's green tomato industry is part Bf a great east coast crop, harvest of which takes place eight months out of the year in Florida, and moves up north during the summer. Hun- dreds of local people find tempor- “jary employment, either in the fields of those smaller farmers who do not use migrant help, or in the packing houses of Abood, Dymend Brothers, and Sponholtz. Hundreds more migrant worltirs, hired in crews, every year under the same fore- men by the same famers and pack- ers, travel to .this area. Their children have been offered school and recreation for the last two years at Centermoreland and Orange churches, supervised by the State. Buyers of tomatoes wait at the packing houses for crops to come up from the fields, then agree on a price verbally with the packer, prices fluctuating up and down with the quality of the crop. Very little buying is by mail-order. ‘When a buyer has a load of to- matoes to go to the market or the warehouse, he contacts a broker of trucks, who, chances are, will also be close-by the warehouse. The broker will then contract one of those trucks, usually independently owned and driven, who await orders at such places as the Or- chard Farms depot. STAGGERED CROPS Because of the varying planting times each crop has its own ripen- ing time, assuring a continuing flow of fruit from the field to the pack- ers. Only at the end of the season is it possible to properly evaluate the harvest. } Last year ‘a bad drouth killed some ‘twenty per cemt of many of the crops.

Recent contact made with Ralph - Deemer, manager of Armour’s Real Estate Division in Chicago, revealed that wprk on the point in question was continuing, but had reached no conclusion. Deemer told the Post in early July that negotiations leading to sale of the plant, once Noxen's principal ' source of employment, would be just a matter of time. He said that, the buyer was not a dismantling firm. Meanwhile the Lehigh Valley rail- road has been negotiating with prospective buyers of the stretch of | etre from Alderson to the picnic grounds, part of the old line to Noxen, which serviced the tannery.

Action was urged to enable construction crews to lay pipe under the intersection, but will predispose pedestrians and motorists to danger, leaving busy intersection unguarded. Thomas Electric ‘was approved to remove wiring and light. Board unanimously agreed to make Harris Hill Road a one-way thoroughfare to Oak Street in an effort to help traffic problems. Supervisor Smith informed his associates that am automatic “walk” or. ‘don’t walk” signal would be placed later on a wire above the roadway to control ‘traffic accord- ing to the state plan. 'Austine Line, former supervisor, suggested that Board check into possibility of treating lights like township building and seeking pay- ment for same. The Board voted unanimously to write Highway Department urging that overpasses or underpasses be constructed at Center Street, Harris Hill and Carverton Road. Chairman Ziegler made the motion, seconded by Hauck, who has been deeply concerned over ‘the lack of proper safety provisions at these points. Richard Mathers, reporting for the Zoning Commission, questioned whether such a group was needed since a recent permit charge ‘was dismissed. Hauck answered that this nation had remained great because the two main bodies of government, administrative and judicial had functioned seperately. Mr. Hauck informed the board and visitors that the recent article published in another paper was false. He stated that, ‘My reason for wishing to resign from the board was not over the approval of paving for Carverton Heights, but due to the tremendous amount of time this job requires away from my family.” He explained that he was not in favor of such a committment be- cause it is not fair to those who have resided for thirty years in the township and have been offered mo such proposition. Hauck reported on the critical water problem on Terrace Avenue. He described the street as a mess with contours all mixed up. He urged that the street be placed on the top of the list for major over- haul this season. Pavement will have to be tom up, lower side of road raised and gutters redone. He said, “The matter had been kicked around long enough.” Police were commended for the fine job they had done in maintaiin- ing traffic flow since construction began.
