Kozick Names Plans
For Lundy Building
New owner of the Lundy Build-
ing, Michael Kozick, Harveys Lake, |
says he intends to run it as a
quality eating place for families
and banquet, and will start a deli-
catessen in the corner store which
was formerly Marie's,
Plans are still indefinite as to
empty store in the building.
Presently operating a number of
restaurants with a bowling alley
chain, Mr. Kozick will give up that
line in order to run the new busi-
ness himself.
73 YEARS A NEWSPAPER
Institution
Mountain
The restauranteur settled on a,
price with the owner the day after |
the ill-fated public auction the week |
before last. 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

was taken to Nesbitt |
program in the elementary.
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. A daily record was kept
2 lof the specific skills the children
| worked on, and a continous program
of evaluation wag in effect.

| ous school personnel, a team teach-
ling situation was employed. Faculty

'gram were: Mrs. Thelma Lamoreux,

Forsee Harvest
As Satisfactory
BR Week's Cold Snap
Delays Major Work
At Process Plants
Mountain surveyed the green to-
mato crop prospects for this
month with mixed sentiment, as
{one of the area’s biggest industries
again swings into action.
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.

Tannery Sale Still
Pending Legal Hitch
Conclusion of a contract of sale
of the empty Armour Tannery plant
at Noxen continues to hinge on a
fine legal point in the contract of
sale, asked clarified by the buyer's
attorney.
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.

Harris Hill Light
To Be Removed
Terrace Avenue Water
Problem T 0 Be Solved
Request for nobay of the traf-
fie light at Harris Hill Road was
presented to the Kingston Towwship
Board of Supervisors recently by
Arthur Smith on behalf of Coon
Construction Company. fox
All members approved the action,
with - Supervisor Hauck assenting
reluctantly. 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. Chief Updyke reported the
township building had no water
