Postotfice Plan
Refuses To Extend
Proposed Sidewalk
An architect's drawing of the
proposed new Dallas ‘postoffice
property, to be located on site of |
the railroad station, was shown to
Borough Council at a special meet-
ing Tuesday.
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.
Mailbox Vandalized
In an instance of vandalism in |
Huntsville this week, a mailbox be-
longing to Boyd R. Dodson, ‘Follies |
Road, was knocked off its stand,
and the bulb was removed from a!
driveway light, sometime between |
Monday night and Tuesday morn- |

Battle Silkworth Fire
—Dallas Post Staff Foto
Firemen are shown here battling the blaze which destroyed
the frame farmhouse of Anthony Wisneski, Lake Silkworth excavat-
ing contractor, on Tuesday night.
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.
Lake Silkworth Company was first on the scene, having received
the alarm turned in by a neighbor.

Torchy Wilson Saved From Death
After Encounter With Rattler
Quick thinking and knowledge of |
first aid measures saved the life |
of Allan “Torchy’ Wilson, 62,
Noxen, when he was bitten by a|
rattlesnake on the Fourth of July |
at 1 p.m.
Wilson was at his home when Al-
bert Longo, a visitor from Bristol |
hunting woodchucks on the Roy |
Newell Farm, spotted two rattle-|
snakes and sought Wilson's assist-
ance.
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

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.

Hit-And-Run Driver
Escapes, Lights Off
A car driven by Judith Wright,
18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Wright, Orchard View Terrace, |
wag victim of a hit-and-run acci-
dent at Pole 136, Harveys Lake, at
11:20 p.m. Saturday.
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.

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.

bers brought their contributions to

and locked into the: secure horse-
stall.

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.

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
