Saving Promotion
Postmaster Edward Buckley, said
he had received a letter from Wil-
liam H. Neal, National Director of
the U, S. Savings Bonds Division,
commending Dallas Post Office for
its successful efforts in promoting
the sale of U. S. Savings Stamps.
The letter also said that children
buying their first stamps of the
school year will be given a free
certificate signed by the seven Mer-
cury Astronauts, designating them as
“Junior Astronauts’. These certifi-
cates are now available at the Post

In his endorsement, Buckley said,
“Selling Saving Stamps through the
schools and over-the-counter to the
public is a part of the Post Office
Department's services of which we
are particularly proud. The Treasury
sponsored School Savings Program
not only promotes practical thrift
but alse acquaints our young people
with their govermment and their
duties and privileges as American
citizens. I know of no finer way to
training our youth of today im the
sound American heritage of thrift”.

Supervisors Will
Rid Trucksville
Engineer To Study
Clearview Avenue
The dilemma of Trucksville was
brought to the attention of King-
ston Township Supervisors Wednes-
day evening by resident Stanley
Cashmark.
Mr. Cashmark stated ‘that the
proposed taking over of Trucksville
Pharmacy, and Gavy's Market land
by the State for road widening would
leave its citizens without benefit of
a drug store and food market, re-~
move the last sign of identity for the
community, and lower property
values. ; ’
He read the following copy of a
petition signed by 333 ‘taxpayers
which he had sent to Congressman
Daniel J. Flood. rk
“The undersigned residents of
Trucksville area respectfully petition
that highway plans be reconsidered
to permit continuance of the vitally
necessary business conducted by
Trucksville Pharmacy and Gavy's
Market. :
This removal and consequent eli-
mination of Trucksville’s identity
will, we also believe, ‘adversely affect
property values. Furthermore the
necessary width to establish a wait-
ing lane can be secured by widening
the highway in the opposite direct-.
”
ion’.
Supervisors were in sympathy,
and voted unanimously to offer all
aid possible and send a letter simi-
lar ‘to the petition to Representat-
ives Flack and Shupnik and the
State Department of Highways, re-
commending a relocation.
Mr. Ziegler remarked that Car-
verton folk also use Trucksville's
facilities. Mr. Hauck proposed that
the business was outgrowing present
quarters and a new location should
be looked into.
Supervisors voted to have a quali-
fied engineer look over the problem
presented by Clearview Avenue be-
fore further repairs were made.
John Coon was selected to study
road problem and offer a solution.
It was also decided that Skyline,
ferrace and Clearview Avenues be
paved this year, since equipment
was in that vicinity and would save
time and cost.
Mr. Hauck’s suggestion that an-
other crew be hired to speed up
road work before frost also met
with approval. All dirt roads will
have their gutters rebladed. Bunker
Hill Road and Cedar Avenue were
reported paved.
Board expressed concern over
slowness of traffic in Trucksville area
during peak hours. Supervisor
Smith . reported Carverton Road
light will soon be installed. A longer
period was suggested for pedestrians
crossing highway.
' Parking facilities at proposed new
| township building site on Carvertor
Road would accomodate 20 auto-
mobiles, and bank in back could be
dug into if more room was necessary
it was disclosed. No final decision
has been made on the joint use of
new building by fire company, some
members being loath to give up all
title to the land.
Mr. Cashmark complimented the
Board for the fine job it has done
in meeting many problems now con-
fronting the township.
