Lake Law Passed
Curbing Use Of
Fishing Shacks
Builders And Users
Must Register With
Lake Township Board of Super-
visors passed an ordinance strictly
"regulating ice fishing shanties and
litter, at the March meeting Fri-
day night.
Ordinance demands registration
by any party who wishes to build
or USE a shanty for ice fishing.
Board further fixed, in this or-
dinance, the time of March 1 as
the day by which shanties are to
be removed from the ice.
Board was commended by the
chairman of the Warden Place Im-
provement Association for an ‘‘ex-
cellent job” in preparing the law.
Legal measure is expected to aid
in curbing health menace of littered
ice, refuse sinking into the water
when the thaw comes.
Lengthy discussion was held on
the topic of what material should
_be permitted. Supervisors are in|
with some permanence.
Specifically frowned on is carboard,
which is a popular material now in |
. use. |
Cardboard,” it is pointed out,
ees up in high winds and when
movable. President of Harveys
Lake Rod and Gun Club described
the litter removed from the ice re-
cently by club members and fish
commission men, and described the
mess as ‘‘ridiculous.” {e joined
voice with Fish ‘Warden Jim Yoder,
who also attended the meeting, that
cardboard and beaverboard should |
not be permitted in use as material |
for ice fishing shanties.
Yoder speculated = that ‘there
might not be any ice fishing shan-
ties next year in any case, since
what is called the “cycle” of smelt
abundance may be on the down |
‘side. He said he did not remember |
there being any shanties in 1959, |
which was the year before the
smelts reappeared at the Lake.

would mean a warden actually saw
the man bring the shanty upon the
Lake and then.saw him neglect to
take it off, which could involve |
watching for hours or days.
Trash-cans On Lake?
Possibility was raised of putting |
trash-cans on the ice, supervision
and collection being by ‘a local
club.” . Some were skeptical of the
notion saying: ‘I think they'd steal |
the trashcans” and suggested that
people ‘from the Valley would bring
out their own household -garbage
to dump in them.
"Yoder commended the suggestion |
“that registration numbers be paint- |
ed on shanties in six-inch numerals

Tax Bbatements Pose
Knotty Problem For
Drawing Of Budget
With the many abatements in
real estate taxes in the Lake Leh-
man School District, plus mandated
increases in salaries for next year,
an approximate $50,000, directors
found themselves up against a tight
budget schedule Tuesday night.
Edward Lashford, in assaying the
situation, explained to board mem-
bers that something would have to
give, somewhere.
State reimbursement fraction has
been lowered at the same time that
expenses are rising, because of ratio
of puplis in Lake Township to real
estate valuations. An adjustment of
scme sort, he said, would have to
be made.
For the remainder of the current
year, he added, the cushion pro-
vided for just such an eventuality
is sufficient to balance accounts,
though increases in salaries squeez-
ed the budget.
Total abatement this year, out of
13 million taxables, amounted to
| over a million. Picked up by new
| construction was $200,000, which
worked out to a net loss of $850,000
| in taxables. Applying the millage

Malkemes Transferred
To General Hospital
Charles “Chuck” Malkemes,
Franklin Street, Shavertown, who
was severely injured in a car col-
lision in Bowling Green, Ky., re-
cently has now been transferred
to General Hospital, Wilkes-Barre.
The young man and his mother,
Mrs. Raymond Malkemes, were
flown here by plane with an attend-
ant in charge of the patient, arriv-
ing. at Avoca at 5 p.m. Tuesday
afternoon. From here he was taken
by ambulance to the local hospital,
where he will be under the care
of his family physician, Dr, Mi-
chael Bucan.
Still suffering from pneumonia
and other injuries, some improve-
ment has been noted in his con-|
dition and “Chuckie” is glad to be
home. He would appreciate hear-
ing from his friends. He is in
Room 408 at General.
It has been determined that

Instead of building in shelves, |
installing a desk, and planning to |
accommodate a limited number of
children on a squeeze-by arrange- |
ment in a narrow aisle, the board |
hailed the idea of a more elastic
arrangement.
Simple: stack the books in li-
brary carts, fill the bookmobile to
capacity with the carts, and drive
from school to school.
Run the carts down a ramp,
move them into the school building,
and give pupils plenty of room to
browse. Switching book-carts from |
one school to another to provide
variety, a simple matter.
Now, the bonus: a Bookmobile
without built-in shelves is nothing
more than a van. It. can be used
at times when school is not in ses-
sion, to transport many different
kinds of supplies.
The van would have to embody
some special features, and also be
capable of supporting the load of |
books, weighing about a ton. Which
| is what truck builders are in busi-
ness for.
The board saw no reason to hope |
that the van could be ready for |
service within any reasonable time.
