Crew To Appear
Before Coroner
Porter Is Reelected
K.T. Ambulance Head
~u N
@ With several of Kingston Town-
ship's ambulance crew expecting to
appear before a coroner's jury in
the very near future, the men will
be reimbursed for their lost day's
wages by the Ambulance Associ-
ation.
The motion was approved ‘at the
annual meeting of the organization
held Sunday at the mew township
building in Trucksville.
Occasion for their presence was
dictated following the recent high-/
way death of Mrs. Florence Sordoni
Evans, who was struck while cross-
ing the thoroughfare near Hunts-
ville Rd. turnoff by William Cole,
Wilkes-Barre.
Dr. Robert Peters, Jr., Forty Fort
who was passing, said the victim
was dead. Such proclamation re-
leases the ambulance crews from
all further responsibility, according |
to coroner's rules. Crew had no- |
tified the deputy coroner but can-
celled the call when Dr. Peters in-
sisted the woman be taken to the
a
hospital. When they reached the
institution, she was pronounced
dead.
Chief of Police Herbert Updyke,
was also on the scene, explained
2 hat a dead body could not be re-
“moved until the coroner or his
deputy took over. This led to con-
flict with Dr. Peters, who again
sisted the ambulance remove the
victim to Nesbitt Hospital.
Manning the ambulance at the
time were Marvin Yeust, Jack Las-
her, and Walter Davis. Harry
Smith accompanied the men.
Chief Updyke, who was present at
Sunday’s meeting, read the follow-
ing rules from the Coroner’s Man-
ual:
It is unlawful for anyone to move
a dead body from the position or |
place of death without provisions
of either the physician last in at-
tendance or the coroner, unless the
body is in public view:
In obvious criminal, accidental,
or suicidal deaths, both the cor-
oner’'s office and police should be
notified at once.
- The ambulance attendant may
Bake any steps his judgment
SE medical care might
be needed in any instance. When
A is apparent that medical attent-
ion would be’ of vail or when
this can be clearly determined by
simple inspection, the body should
not be disturbed, nor shall any of
the surroundings be disturbed.
‘While there is a moral tendency
to- want to move a body to a nat-
ural position or what in life would
be a more comfortable position,
there is no purpose in doing so.
It is imperative to allow the coroner
to judge the nature and degree of
investigation required, that the!
body and any surroundings be left
untouched.
Martin Porter presiding at the
meeting declared to members,
“When a body is declared dead,
we are out of the picture. We are
not recognized. We have a free
license. From now on; fellows, the
Coroner is the boss.”
He was asked what to do if the
fcoroner wasn't present. Porter re-
lied, “Wait till he gets there. Don't
“move the body if it's dead.”
Crew attending the inquest will
receive $5 per person from the
coroner’s office Members felt it was
only fair to make up the difference
when a man loses his day’s wages. |
All ambulance crewmen serve free
of charge, giving their time during
all hours of the day or night and
in all kinds of weather.
In other action Martin Porter
was reelected president of the King-
ston Township Ambulance Associ-
ation, Vought Long, 1st vice pres-
ident; Willard Piatt, 2nd vice pres-
ident; Edward (Carey, secretary-
treasurer.
Directors chosen were Mr.
Mrs. Harry Spare, Dana Sickler,
and Bernard Novicki, Carverton;
Earl Hess, Sheldon Bennett, Vern |
Pritchard and Lowther Brown,
Trucksville; Mrs. Francis Murray,
Granville Sowden, Walter Davis and |
Merton Coolbaugh, Shavertown.
Mrs. William Frederick, who does
gach a magnificent job answering
mbulance calls and sending crews, |
was praised for her outstanding |
service.
Sheldon Bennett,, V. Prichard, |
and Willard Piatt were renamed to |
‘the auditing committee.
William Frederick was named
crew captain, and reported 161 calls
answered during 1964.
Shavertown Coin Card donations |
for 1964 were reported ‘at $730.58 |
and Trucksville’s as $1,172.75.
Expenditure for recent ambulance |
overhauling and repairs was $280. 59 |
Porter pointed out that the Am-|
bulance Association had only gained
$400 this past year after all ex-
penses were paid. There is a lot of
expense involved in running an
ambulance, he concluded.

'Douse Chimney Fire
In Bunker Hill Home
Trucksville Fire Company extin
| guished a fire at the home of John
‘W. Smith, Bunker Hill, which broke
out around 6:10 on Friday night,
when a chimney apparently over-
heated.
Damage was estimated at about
$1000, mostly smoke, on saveral
floors, and the company remained
at the scene for some time. Home
was being remodeled. Chief Vought
Long was in Charge.
Tax collector Dennis Bonning's
voice rose well above the usual
routine murmur of road supervis-
ing business at Jackson board meet-
ing Tuesday night: “Why wait till
summer ?”, he demanded, ‘why is it
same trouble every year?”
He was asking to know why Ro-
land Gensel had not been reappoint-
ed Assistant Police Chief, and in
this matter he was
hundred per cent by Police Chief
Bob Cooper, who brought the quest-
ion up at the meeting to begin
with.
For several years now, the quest-
ion has been involved politically.
Supervisor Chairman Elmer Las-
kowski said that Gensel was simply

Others feel that the board
trying to pressure Gensel into ap-
pointing a deputy constable (he
himself is constable), namely Don-
ald Jones of Chase, who was also
at the meeting. Mr. Jones said
stable, deputy or otherwise, for the
sole purpose of serving subpoenas.
Serving subpoenas is a paying prop-
osition.
Cooper and Bonning refused to
go along with this. Cooper said
that he needed Gensel as. an assis-
tant, that nobody else was interest-
ed in policework, and that Gensel
was a good policeman. The yearly
refusal to appoint Gensel Assistant
Chief, Cooper said, doesn’t look good
for the officer, for the township, or
for the supervisors.
Differences were especially con-
spicuous because representatives of
the press were there, one having
been tipped off that there might be
commotion and the Dallas Post be-
ing there as a matter of routine.
Ccoper said flatly that if Gensel
were not reappointed Assistant
Chief, he would not call him in as
constable on cases, but rather
would summon police from other
townships or the state police. This
was an ultimatum to the boss,
clearly, and one which the
accepted in the end.
To Work In Township
Bonning demanded to know of
Jones whether he was interested in
being a constable for the purpose of
serving the township or just to ser-
ve summonses and subpoenas, and
Jones said it was for the latter pur-
pose. Bonning concluded that the
township needed an officer more.
Cooper: capped the matter by
bringing out a constable’s’ hand-
book, pertinent passage underline,
which said a constable could not
legally appoint a deputy unless the
constable himself is physically dis-
abled, or in special instances to
help in a particular civil suit.
Laskowski was the most wary of
the reappointment, or at least he
was the one who voiced the board's
rationale, which was then presum- |
ably wary as a whole. He said sim-
ply that Gensel was not needed as |
an appointed officer until May. To

did not press his case for being

Laskowski put the matter to a
vote. Bertram moved for Gensel’s
immediate appointment, seconded
by Lamoreaux. The Assistant Chief
was reappointed for another year.
Other Business
Board announced that millage
had been dropped to 3.5 mills from
nine, because of the recent tripled
property reevaluation by the
county. Replying to a question by
Allardyce, the supervisors said the
readjustment of millage gave the
township a slight tax advantage
over last year.
Allardyce also raised. question of
i a per capita tax in Jackson Town-

not pass a place of work tax as
was proposed in Forty Fort. Board
explained that Jackson's solicitor
said a tax such as the place of work
tax, not affecting all the people,
was probably unconstitutional. Al-
lardyce said he would check, with
the board's okay. He also asked
whether there were any progress
on obtaining federal public works
fund money from the government.

It's getting so a driver would be better to stay at home, and
leave the driving to river-boat gamblers and other people who like
to make toss-up decisions.
Here was the choice offered to motorists at the Hillside Road
cut-off at Memorial Highway this last week, and it must be admitted
that there's much to be said for either solution.
This driver, like everybody else, went on to the left, in the
direction he is pointed. If he had been law-abiding, he would have
