Reorganization
At Lake-Lehman
Retains Sutton
® Tradition Falls As
First Woman Sits
On 25 Member Board
For the first time in history of
Lake-Lehman joint school board,
or the earlier jointures of Lehman-
Jackson and Lehman-Jackson-Ross,
a woman was seated on a hitherto
all-male directorate of twenty-five
members, Tuesday night.
Mrs. Barbara Vivian was sworn
into office at the Lehman Board
meeting, held in the administration
office at Lehman prior to reorgani-
zation of the joint board.
Twenty-five years ago, Ross
Township had a woman on its
school board, Mrs, Mary L. Sutliff.
Reelected to the presidency im-
mediately before the joint board
sat for its year-book picture, was
Willard Sutton. Elected vice presi-
dent was Richard Hogoboom, Jack-
son Township director who replaced
Charles Frantz.
Individual boards elected these
presidents: Lake Township, Willard
Sutton; Noxen, Earl Crispell; Leh-
on Sheldon Ehret; Ross, Michael
Adams; Jackson, George Bulford, on
the ‘board since 1932. Another man
© of long tenure, reelected in Novem-

~
ber, is Vernon Cease, Jackson
Township, serving continuously
since 1939.
Sheldon Ehret, Lehman, was ap-
pointed some years ago to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
his father, Howard Ehret.
Paul Crockett, sworn into Ross
Township directorate, was another
director who acceded to office a
number of years ago at the death
of his “»'"er Teorge, who had been
ion school board for twenty
years.
Reelected members of the joint
school board included Moelyn Wil-
liams, Lake; Dean Shaver, Leh-
man, William Bates, Noxen. New
members: Michael Slimak, Jackson;
Carl Swanson, Lake; Ronald Field-
ing, Noxen.
Two seniors from Lake-Lehman,
displaying a commendable sense of
timing, circulated among the direc-
tors after the picture had been
taken, signing them up for patrons
of the Year Book. Cathie Mingus
and- Donald Stroud found a hun-
dred percent response among di-
rectors and visitors.
Mr. Sutton, accepting the presi-
Piency, expressed his feelings about
"the vital importance of education.
He said that education should lead
to well-rounded adulthood and a
Bcnse of self-discipline and integ-
rity, qualities lacking in the young
man who assassinated President
Kennedy.
“Something which happened in
childhood may have sparked this
deed,” Mr. Sutton continued, and
called the board to consider care-
fully its functions in providing the
best possible guidance for children
at Lake-Lehman.
Ministers Approve
Letters from Lehman and Ide-
town Methodist churches expressed
approval of action taken at the
November board meeting to author-
ize Bible reading and prayers in
the jointure schools.
Technical School
Appointed to represent the joint-
= ure at Technical School, were these
men and alternates: from Jackson,
Cease and Slimak; Lehman, Ehret
and Naugle; Noxen, Patton and
Womer; Ross, Stroud and Adams;
Lake, Piatt and Williams.
Supervising Principal’s Report
Lester Squier; supervising prin-
cipal, reported on Sabbatical leave
granted to Margaret Smith; who
has requested further leave be-
cause of continued disability. Legis-
lative act “190 empowers a school
board to extend such a leave within
its discretion, to protect a teacher
from losing tenure. Mrs. Smith’s
first year of leave terminates with
close of the first semester, Jan-
uary 1964. d
Mrs. Smith was injured. in line
of duty and still requires a neck
brace. She had hoped to return
this fall.
Eunice Oney’s work as secretary
having proved satisfactory, the
board was asked to authorize a
slightly higher salary after her pro-
bationary period of three months.
State auditors reported records ins
excellent condition,
ulated the Board.
The board discussed participation
in the Regional Instruction Material
Center, in process of organization
for a multi-county five-year plan,
with the goal of supplying visual
aid materials. At fifty cents a
pupil, the cost would approximate
$850 for Lake Lehman, an amount
which is not in the budget for this
year.
Surplus property day for Lake-
Lehman has been set in Harrisburg
for December 18. Anthony Mar-
chakitus and Bruce Varner were
authorized to attend in the pick-
up truck.
Fred Updyke’s request that a sub-
stitute bus driver take his place
while he is on vacation during
January in Florida, was granted.

Buried Victim Awaits Removal By Rescue Squad
The bedy of Joseph Chorba, 25,
Swoyerville, is faintly visible dir-
ectly below the large arrow, where
it was buried under a slide of rocks
and timbers Monday afternoon,
while the victim was dismantling
the old mill at Carverton, pictured
in inset.
Outside layer of an 18-foot wall
supporting the dam crumbled into
the creek bed below, tearing down
part of the building adjacent. Chor-
ba, working alone at the time, was
swept to his death some time be-
tween 1 p. m. and 4:30, his body
crushed by heavy stones.
His head and face were smashed
and he suffered ‘chest and inter-
nal injuries. Coroner Carl Blight
stated death was instantaneous.
Sixteen-year-old Conrad Gonzales, Meadowcrest, Trucksville, is
in “fair” condition at Nesbitt Hospital, following a two-car accident
on Memorial Highway in front of Purcell’s gas station, Shavertown,
Tuesday night.
Gonzales was a passenger in the Corvair (top picture) which
whipped around in a skid while travelling south and mangled the
front end of a station wagon driven by Elmer Allen, Meshoppen,
northbound. (bottom)
Note lesser exterior damage on the heavy rear end of the com-
pact, which has engine in the back.
Driver’ of the Corvair, Thomas Kerpovich, Carverton, swerved
to avoid a car pulling out of Purcell’s, driven by a Donald Kelly, who
told police chief ‘Herbert Updyke he had already backed up when
Kerpovich started to brake.
Mrs. Pauline Allen, passenger in the Allen car, complained of
neck pain.
Postmaster Ed Buckley Offers
Suggestions For Holiday Mailing
Postmaster Ed Buckley
these helpful hints today on how
to mail your Christmas cards and
gifts to insure prompt, safe deliv-
ery before December 25.
If you use the new five cent
Christmas ‘Tree stamps on cards,
they will be sorted and delivered
first, and, if you include your re-
turn address with your ZIP Code
; number on each card envelope, they
will be forwarded in the event of
a change of address, or if undeliv-
erable, will be returned for correc-
tion. Also, remember you can write
personal messages only on Christ-
mas ‘cards sent First Class. Nothing
but your signature is authorized on
cards sent at the unsealed, Third
Class rate.
The Postmaster warns, against
careless packing of precious ‘Christ-
mas gifts. He says it is unbelievable
sell Major as his substitute.
School closure November 25, to
permit pupils and teachers to watch

with bus drivers and cafeteria staff
to be paid on that basis.
Directors and ~~ administrators
enjoyed refreshments in the care-
teria following the meeting,
offered | how some people fail to use strong
cartons ,heavy wrapping paper and
sturdy cord when packing their pre-
cious gifts for mailing. Take special
care in packing breakable gifts for
mailing. Take special care in pack-
ing breakable gifts, marking the car-
tons, “Fragile” “Handle with
Care” and be sure to put an extra
label carrying the recipients name |
and address inside of every pack-
age. : !
The Postmaster also said, “By |
giving special attention : to your
Christmas mailings right now, by
being sure that mailing lists are up
to date, and by planning mailing so
thet you send out your cards and
packages in groups, rather than all
at one time, you'll be certain that
all your greetings and gifts reach
their destinations before Christmas.
The Postmaster asks all business
firtns to delay the mailing of circu-
arg and catalogs until after Dec-
ember 25 to: keep the mails clear

Penalized $3000
For Deer Kills
Sold Meat Illegally
To Secret Agents
Dale Oney, Laketon, was brought
before Justice of the Peace Leonard
Harvey, Dallas, by Game Commis-
sion officials on November 30, and
fined $3000 on several charges, in-
cluding shooting deer out of sea-
son, spotlighting deer, shooting deer
with a .22 rimfire rifle, selling deer-
meat, attempting to kill deer out
of season, and using an automobile
to transport them.
Oney was convicted of charges
involving seven deer, according to
Harvey, for offenses committed No-
vember 21, 25, 26, 29, and 30.
He was apprehended after he sold
the illegal detr meat to undercover
Game Commission officials.
Oney has appealed the magi-
strate’s decision to the Luzerne
County Court, which will consider
his case sometime in February.
The Game Commission wil] bring
Richard Burnett, of Harveys Lake
and Wilkes-Barre, before the .Jus-
tice of Peace Tuesday night on
similar charges, and have report-
edly impounded his 1963 Cadillac
convertible, which they say was
used in transportation of the deer
carcasses.
Last Dosage Of
Polio Vaccine
Majority Of Area
Residents Protected
A noticeable drop-off in response
to the Sabin Oral Vaccine in Lake-
Lehman feeding center on Sunday,
as compared with September and
October figures, has a logical ex-
planation, according to Dr. Irvin
Jacobs of the Lake-Noxen Clinic.
Dr. Jacobs states that many resi-
dents on the border of Luzerne and
Wyoming Counties availed 'them-
selves of the offer of Type III inoc-
ulation. in May in Wyoming County,
thus did not need to take it in De-
cember.
These border-liners. appeared for
the type I and TI feedings at Lake-
Lehman high school.
Lake-Lehman administered oral
vaccine for 4,056 people, including
dropper doses for infants, on Sun-
Be as contrasted to 4,589 October
a7.
At Dallas Junior High School, the
number exceeded October's tally,
5,834 as against 5,591..
At ‘Westmoreland, 3,826 regis-
tered, 15 less than in October.
. Everywhere, the. crowd was ac-
commodated much more swiftly and
with fewer volunteers, than on the
first September inoculation. -Child-
ren knew what was expected of
them, tipping the cup into an open
mouth without touching the cube
of sugar.
In each feeding station, more and
more folding money appeared in
the collection containers, along
with the silver.
It was the intention primarily to
give the all-important protection of
Type III as the second feeding in-
stead of the third, but adequate
supplies were not in sight, and
Type II was substituted. Type III
inoculates against the paralytic
type of polio.

In their excitement over an emer-

the ambulance out to a home ‘on
Demunds road” or on Huntsville
road”, or a similar address, and
won't even leave a light on to signal
which home is involved.
Again, as new streets are being
named every now and again, the
driver may not know where to go
without further identification of the
area.

quests that persons phoning for

Seek Zoning Law
At Harveys Lake
Low Bid Accepted
On New Twp. Loader
Lake Township Board of ‘Super-
visors. resolved Saturday to con-
sult Luzerne County Planning Com-
mission to see what measures the
township might take to form its
own zoning ordinance, thus pre-
empting present zoning of the Lake
area by proposed County plan.
Supervisors felt that zoning mat-
ters would best be controlled lo-
cally, and decided to act before
January 1, when the County plan
could become law.
In other measure taken, a low
bid of $9,000 plus trade for a front-
end loader was accepted from State
Equipment Company, and Board de-
cided to strengthen the ordinance
against outsiders using the town-
ship dump.
A routine request by the Dallas
Post to hear a. summary of the
police report was refused.
(Chief of Police, Edgar Hughes said
it would be a good idea to have
a ‘township map drawn up, showing
street names as they are today.
The Zoning Problem
Lake now joins other Back Moun-
tain municipalities affected by the
County’s zoning plan, which is all
the county asks. Otherwise, the
County would do the zoning for
the township.
Several months ago, the Post ran
a complete resume on pag2 1 of the
County plan for five municipalities,
including Lake, which did not have
zoning of their own.
Since then, almost all have form-
ed ordinances or resolved to do so.
By County plan, the article ex-
plained in detail, Lake Township
was primarily zoned agricultural
(or conservation’ in the Beth Run
Area), with the exception of busi-
ness districts at the busy corners
around Harveys Lake itself, in Loy-
alville, and in Pikes Creek.
Also was excepted was the per-
meter of the Lake, which was most-
ly zoned ‘residential’ except were
the above-mestioned businsses were.
Likewise a section at Outlet village
and near Pilosi’s was zoned res-
idential.
One man who takes strong ex-
ception to the County Plan is Bert
Bryant, whose pond and surround-
ing land on Harvey Creek is termed
“agricultural” by the Planning Com-
mission. Mr. Bryant was present at
the meeting Saturday morning to
make his feelings known.

Dallas To Add
3 Classrooms
First Grade Flooring
Not Used In Gym
With a total enrollment of 2,814
students registered this year and
a greater number expected for the
1964-65 term, Dallas School Board
is contemplating the addition of
three new classrooms to present
facilities.
. An ‘extra room can Be erected
alongside the library at the Senior
High School and the former Indus-
trial Shop room at Westmoreland
building will be converted into two
suitable classrooms.
Board voted Tuesday evening to
study plans before appointing an
architect to draw up design for
the prior addition. An overload
in first and fifth grades and the
need for an additional Spanish
teacher will likewise add two ele-
mentary teachers and a language
major to the faculty next year.
A sub flooring will be placed
over the concrete one in the first
grade room at Westmoreland dur-
ing the holiday to assure more
warmth underfoot for the students.
Directors were perturbed over the
claim of Lacy, Atherton and Davis
architects that new high school
gymnasium floor was constructed
of No. 2 flooring which permits
blemishes and other irregularities.
They voted to have Solicitor Jon-
athan Valentine contact firm's at-
torney on the matter and also dis-
closure that leaks in new roof were
responsibility of the school district. °
Andrew Kozemchak attending his
first meeting questioned a number
of procedures and asked for more
time to study same. He was ad-
vised by Mrs. Ann Vernon to re-
frain from voting on any issues
which he was not certain about.
The board then voted on transfer
of funds and increases over original
budget with all assenting, except
Kozemchak, who did not vote.
Mrs. Dorothy L. Davis was ap-
pointed full time substitute to teach:
in place of Mrs. Mary Ruth Klein-
ginna, who was granted maternity
leave. 3 S
Mrs. Janice Borton was also plac-
ed on available substitute teacher
Miss Helen Dix Fuller.
Mrs. Helen Rice was approved as
part time cafeteria worker and Mrs. |

clerical listing. ! 2
Harry C, Swepston was reap-
pointed to serve on Dallas School
Authority for five year term. Bills
in ‘amount of $85,149.98 were ap-
proved for payment. Kozemchak
questioned several items as to why
bid did not go to local people. He
was informed * that lowest bid
was acceptable if it met specifica
tions and that many local business
firms did not carry items or failed
to enter bids.
The following committees were
named for the year: Athletics, Mrs.
