Lay-out . combines. elements of two plans revealed last month in the Dallas Post, with the access driveway fronting on Church Street and the building facing the highway squarely. : General Service Administration of | the federal government has ap- proved this plan, prepared by Roushey, Smith and Miller. One hitch, however, is that the government will have none of archi- tect’s recommendation that the ad- jacent highway bridges and the strange crimped intersection of Mill Street be repaired, and that a side- walk be built along the highway from Church to Mill. Borough Engineer ‘John Jeter said. that a letter from the State Highway Department showed that | the state was not interested in com- | , pleting the work on sidewalks, and that = the bridge project and other work along the lower end of the postoffice grounds could cost $8,000. For this reason Council rejected the suggestion that Borough do the walk CL wdiclt that the federal government would eventually see | fit to build its own sidewalk. Sundry Bills Council ' approved payment to solicitor Robert Fleming a fee of 20 per cent of the disputed $4,500 tax from ssie of Natona Mills, claimed in court by both Borough and Dallas Township. Court said the tax money goes to the Borough, 50 solicitor’s fee is $1,011. Council president Harold Brobst said he was disappointed in “the high price of justice,” since there was no question in his mind that the money was due the Borough anyway. Mayor Thomas Morgan added that litigation is an expen- sive luxury. Road complaints were heard from Thomas West and Robert Jones, Reservoir Road. A bill for $34.56 was received from James Besecker for damage done to the wooden fence above Toby Creek next to the hardware store. Bill wa. referred back to Mr. Besecker with Council approval, since he is agent for Borough’s liability policy. Police Report Police report for June included 13 arrests, 10 red lights, one stop sign and two reckless driving. Police will patrol the Auction as usual. Grace Cave reported the Borough Building will get a new roof shortly. Fines received: Moen, $25. Build- | ing fees were $31.30.

House was a total loss. Companies from Sweet Valley, Jackson Township, and Lehman joined ‘the Silkworth firemen in fighting the fire,» which was com- pletely subdued by about 1 a.m. yesterday. Farmhouse was located about™2500 feet up a steep hill about a mile south of intersection of the Pritchard Road and Swamp Road. About $5000 damage was done, according to fire marshal Lee Wentzel. Cause was undetermined, but the blaze broke out in the rear of the second floor while the Wisneskis were in Wilkes-Barre.

Wilson found the reptile slither- | ing under some dead limbs. As it crawled into a stone pile, he grabbed its tail with his left hand, while hig right rested atop the stone. A rearing head struck his | right forefinger, and there is some question whether the bite was in- flicted by a second snake harbored | there. The injured man immediately sucked the venom from his finger with a handerchief. ‘After dispatching the snake, Wilson was assisted to the! office of Dr. Lester Saidman, Noxen, . by Longo. The physician cauter- ized the wound and ordered im- mediate hospitalization, calling hosp ahead to give orders. Dr. Saidman complimented his patient, saying his prompt action saved his life. Wilson then proceeded unassisted to his home nearby with the poison already coursing through his veins. His son Lee placed him in his jeep and set off for General Hospital. By the time he had reached Birth’s gas station in Dallas, Wilson's hand was swelling, numbness extending i to leg and head. His son found State Trooper Joseph: David nearby, asked faster transportation, ‘and the trooper rushed the now seriously ill man to the hospital. Rattlesnake serum was adminis- tered ' and intravenous injections applied. Wilson received 17 hypo- dermics from 5 p.m. until 7 the next morning. His entire family was called in as he hovered be- tween life and death, but by Sun- day morning he had shown im- provement. Wilson was released from the al on Tuesday, but Dr. Said- man warns that a severe reaction from the rattlesnake serum, used (Continued on Page 3 A) This Weelk: 1 VOL. 75, NO. 27. THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1964 Signal Lack Irks Parents Faulty Drawings Not Epproved By State A delegation of Shavertown resi- dents appearing before Kingston Township Supervisors last week de- manded some definite answer to the traffic light problem at Center Street intersection. The matter has been of great concern to parents and church goers alike and a letter from Shavertown Methodist Church Coun- cil was sent to the board request- ing some action. John Baur asked for specific loca- tion of traffic lights in the town- ship and was informed that signals would be placed at Center Street, Harris Hill and Carverton Roads. LaRoy Ziegler, board chairman, informed group that Ted Poad had taken new drawings direct to Har- risburg, expediting usual procedures. Edward Hall remarked that draw- ings had been presented to the state before, “but had been turn- ed down since they were not true to scale and were returned to you.” . Ziegler explained it was due to 5th lane. Hall replied, ‘There was no waiting lane planned at the time drawings were submitted. Why wis ' so much aggravation necessary in getting this done?” Supervisor Arthur Smith inter- posed, “We couldn’t get head nor tail from the contractor.” Hall answered, “I don’t know why. Traffic men would have been glad to sit down with you if they had been invited. They have a file of our correspondence since we started this thing.” Smith said, “We had to have new applications.” “No, you didn’t,” countered Hall, “I looked over the file in Scranton. Pritchard and I checked it yester- day.” “Would you like to look over our file,” invited Ziegler. “Why shoula 1,” answered Hall.

Driver of the unidentified car nearly hit head-on, reportedly doing in the neighborhood of 60 miles an hour, according to witnesses. Driving toward Alderson, Miss Wright drew to a stop as she saw the white sedan headed straight at her Tempest convertible in her lane. She was unable to pull off the road because of a large tree. The hit-and-run car fishtailed around, ripping out the back bump- er on the Wright car, and creasing the body. Three witnesses ran out into the road to get the car’s license num- ber, but the driver put out his lights and drove off at a high rate of speed. Car was identified as possibly a white Pontiac or Chrysler. | | be interested to know that there Entique Weapons Antique Weapon Collectors will are two Flint Lock Pistols and two Rabbit-eared shotguns to be auc- tioned off this year.

Random Scenes From 20th Annual Lehman Horseshow Auction Community Endeavor To Span Three Days This is the great day at last, the beginning of the Eighteenth An- nual Library Auction, for support of the Library. Chicken barbecue tonight, start- ing at five, at Gate of Heaven parking lot, with men from the American Legion serving. If it rains, the dinner will be staged in Gate of Heaven school auditorium. A copper-lined dry sink and a cherry dropleaf table have been on display down at the Powder Horn Antique Shop. Antiques Committee members have accumulated some of the nicest things offered in years. On Monday and Tuesday, mem- bers brought their contributions to The Barn, where they were listed and locked into the: secure horse- stall. Members take turns manning the long display table where colored glass, fine china, polished brass, and bits of early American .iron are shown. Furniture is lined up in front of the table, protecting the display from the crowd. Signs, Please Do Not Handle, guard «the treasures. At the far end of the table, a booth houses the : Pennsylvania Dutch dower chest, decorated by a master. in the art, Mrs. Paul Gross, in a design obtained from the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The chest ‘will be chanced off late Saturday night. Tickets are ob- tainable on the Auction Grounds. Mrs. Mitchell Jenkins is liaison officer between Odds and Ends and Antiques, sifting boxes to separate possible antiques from more or- dinary items. Each year, things turn up among the Odds and Ends which deserve more important dis- play. When nobody could be found to take responsibility for the Arts and Crafts booth, Mrs. William Ziegen- fus was pressured into taking it. She has rounded up some interest- ing demonstrations as well as some fine contributions. A painting by Niccolo Cortiglia, Wilkes-Barre at- tist with a summer home in Beau- mont, has been donated. Rather than put a piece of such value over the block, or selling it at the booth, Mrs. Ziegenfus’' committee elected to chance it off. Buses will be rerouted during the Auction, avoiding Lehman Avenue. Parking will be prohibitted in some places, clearly designated by ‘signs. Dallas Borough elementary school playground will be available, with \ Dallas PTA in charge of parking. No cars will be permitted on Leh- man Avenue, except those deliver- ing goods, in ‘the area between Huntsville Road andj Spring Street. Festivities will start with a chicken barbecue’ at Gate of Heaven school paved: parking lot, starting tonight at 5 p.m. Auctioneering starts at: 7, at the Barnyard, - continuing until mid- night. . . Saturday, the Children’s Auction gets under way at 10 a.m., regular auction at noon. Final feature of the evening will be the award of the Ford Falcon car. Ernie Gay says | tickets are going well, but’ that there ‘will. ‘be plenty of tickets on the grounds during the three days of the Auction.
