ke Oldest Business Institution Back of the Mountain 75 YEARS A NEWSPAPER TEN CENTS PER COPY—FOURTEEN PAGES Lehman Enacts Completely New Code Of Zoning Result Of Meetings And Public Forums, Replaces Old Laws Lehman Township Board of Su- fe visons passed a new comprehen- sive zoning ordinance, complete, oriented to local problems, strong on penalties, meeting on Saturday. The new law, product of Zoning Board, Supervisors, and interested citizens, has ben the subject of sev- eral public hearings. It was seen by Chairman William Samuel, Lake Silkworth, as provid- ing Lehman Township with ‘“guide- lines”. ‘We're not going to be dictators”, he told the Dallas Post this week, but stressed that the provisions of the new law will in practicability be upheld, although there will be variances. Lehman has had an uncodified group of zoning and health laws for years, but with population and building burgeoning, and County zoning efforts effecting townships, Lehman has put forth this most and at a special recent endeavor. New ordinance embraces such areas of concern as minimum lot size for building, sewage disposal provisions, and trailer installations. One difficulty in previous Leh- man zoning law was that there was AS provision against continuing of- fense, While an arrest could be made and fine levied on an offense; if there was no change in the pro- scribed offense, such as a trailer illegally occupying a lot, then a new arrest would have to be made each day. The new ordinance provides that there is a fine for each day of offense continuing after the com- plaint and citation. Samuel says there are few copies of the law available for study, but the Secretary of ‘the Board of Su- pervisors, Michael Godek, has one, as does Gilbert Tough of the Zon- ing Board. YEAGER AVENUE FIRE Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Com- pany, Dallas, extinguished a brush and debris fire on South Yeager Axenue, Dallas, on Thursday) night: Budd Returns By Ambulance: Hurl In Awful Crash ® Transfer 381 Miles To General Hospital From Beaver County Thomas Budd, local survivor of a collision fatal to his driver in Pittsburgh region early this month, has been returned to this area by ambulance. On Tuesday, the -eighteen-year- old college student was brought 381 miles from Rochester State Hospital to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital by Cannon Ambulance Service, a private firm in Midland, Pa. : He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Budd, Haddonfield Hills. Budd is being kept in a prone ee because of pressure in his head from termed critical following ‘the crash yo car and panel truck at Industry, Pa., early morning of March 9. Two students were injured also. Driver Hans Schmidt, of Beaver Falls, also 18, was killed. Because a piece of metal had lodged a sixteenth of an inch from the brain, opening an air pocket, it was not possible to sit Budd in a wheelchair as required for ‘trans- portation by airline. (In time the body will absorb this trapped air, and pressure will be normalized, according to his mother.) In addition to skull injuries, which included a fracture which has caused double vision, Budd suf- fered serious body lacerations, and a broken leg. Cause of the accident, which was head-on, is undetermined. Ambu- lance service which transferred Budd to ‘this area was one which aided at the scene of the accident thet night "N= Plans for bringing the boy home were complicated by the airline regulation prohibiting cartying of stretcher patients. Also, Dallas Community ambulance is not char- tered for use beyond a radius of 200 miles from Dallas. Transfer from private ambulance to the Dallas ambulance within the dis- tance limit was contemplated, but discarded because it would have to be effected at a hospital midway. While in the Pittsburgh area the Budds stayed with Mr. and Mrs. James Besecker, Jr., Coraopolis. Tom Budd is a student at Indiana Institute of Technology, which was the destination of him and the two injured boys, Norman Fox .and James Phillips. ‘Back Mountain Area Ambulance Logbook injuries which were.

First Report On Victim's Dog: No Rabies Trace Three Other Bodies Ot Dogs Discovered In Heights Vicinity Preliminary report on Mrs. Irene » | Timko’s pet beagle which died mys- teriously several days after the woman was bitten by an unidenti- fied attacking animal last week has been returned, and with it the community breathed a sigh of re- lief. Report was negative on the pres- ence of rabies, according to Dr. Richard Post's veterinary office, which sent the carcass to Harris- burg for testing. Final report will come in about ten days. There had been fear that the THE DAL MORE animal which struck twice at Mrs. | Timko's leg as she walked near | her home on Highland Avenue the night of March 10 had attacked her | | dog as well. Meanwhile, Assistant Police Chief Alexander McCulloch three more dead dogs in the Heights neighborhood on Thursday of last week, two on the Space farm and one at the end of Park Street. He suspects deliberate poisoning. No further light has been cast on the strange. bite attack, nor has the type of animal, which left un- torn spaced puncture marks, been identified. "Mrs. Timko is recover- ing well. ‘Animal bites are always a source of apprehension in the Back Moun- tain, where lethal rabid foxes ter- rorized in an epidemic some years ago, and caused the death of one woman.

With regards ‘to local E TV, Mr. Musso pointed out that of the 13 counties embraced by the North- eastern Pennsylvania educational plan, this area was the last to ob- tain the facilities due to lack of funds. He ' announced, however, that enough cash and property has been pledged, so that the schools may now reap the benefits. The Taft Corporation has set aside $339,000 worth of property; $125,000 cf state funds has been alotted, and $200,000 has come from National sources. By March 28, channel 44, the new educational station, should be in full ‘operation.

The following gives an- swers to the questions most fre- i quently asked. But first, a Sew basic facts. Medicare benefits begome effec- | | tive on July 1, 1966 for persons | who are 65 or older by that date. | The Medicare program has two | parts: | Part A (Hospital Insurance) helps | pay hospital bills. The person over | 85 .does not pay anything for Part | A benefits. Persons over 65 who i are covered by Social Security or | Railroad Retirement are automat- | ically enrolled in Part A. All other persons over 65 must apply before | | March 31 to receive these benefits. | Part B (Medical or “Doctor Bill” insurance) helps meet doctor bills | and other medical expenses. No one is automatically enrolled in Part B. Everyone 65 or older who wants Part B. benefits must sign up for them before March 31 . | The person over 65 will pay only | $3 per month for Part B insurance.

The Library Auction, launched the folowing year as a trial ballcon, brought such staggering results that it immediately took its place in the Back Mountain summer picture. It was a joint suggestion of Miss Frances Dorrance and Mrs. Lewis LeGrand. The not quite $4,000 realized at the first Auction, was a small re- turn, compared with the gross and net sums taken over the block during the past eighteen years, but it kept the library afloat until more income could be obtained. ; It was not an Auction which re- | lied upon organizations for its suc- cess, but individual effort upon with no thought of credit or re- imbursement. Realistically, the annual Auction has now grown to a size where the staunch support of all the organiza- tions of the area is necessary to | make of it a success. At the Kick-Off Dinner, the three | major service clubs of the Dallas Area arrange their schedules so that the weekly meetings come on the night of the dinner. Without the whole-hearted as- | sistance of Dallas Rotary, Dallas Ki- wanis, Dallag Lions, Dallas Woman's Cub, Dallas Junior Woman's Club, and the various Auxiliaries, the Auction would fall | flat on its face. Gate of Heaven church cooper- ates by making the Annual Barbe- cue welcome within its auditorium n the first night of the Auction. Mrs. Howard Risley annually per- mits use of her barn and grounds. Businessmen of the area expect to be tapped for new goods, and make provision for this in their | budgets. : : Women who are interested in antiques visit the antique shops in advance, and purchase things which will make the ‘table of jontique’ | beautiful Key Club boys assist; ‘on the | grounds, Boy Scouts deliver ‘goods from the block. bY Everybody cooperates, everybody buys from booth or block. The Library is syerybody s business. The Federal Gover micas will pay an additional $3 per month for him.
