Ray Laux, chairman of audi- tors, reported no audit had been started as yet and, “It was high time we got started.

Mr. Martin said no cost esti- mates were yet available until bids were let. -Calvin McHose, wage tax and regular tax collector, re- ported he had received no monies from Berkheimer for the 2nd and 3rd quarters since Wilkes-Barre employers had ceased deducting it from em- ployees pay. He added that . most self employed individuals were being quite fair in their returns. Chairman Fisher urged that committee of council or council - as a whole meet with Mr. Mc- Hose to determine if all citi- zens were paying their fair share. “It seems that the little guy is paying where those in more lucrative positions are ‘sidestepping their responsi- bility.” Mr. Osko moved for naming two more members to the Planning and Zoning Board since he said, ‘It was difficult to function when several were absent.” Alger Shafer read from the Borough Code that the number allowed by law was five. Fisher said it seemed in- operable with five members. Councilwoman Kocher com- mented, ‘‘The trouble is you don’t have the right men, or those who are interested, on the board.” Mr. Shafer wished to know when the backlog on the solici- tor’s job would be caught up. Mr. Stenger said there were questions on the ordinances and the attorney reported he had advertised several. All members voted unani- mously to have a. resolution drawn up naming the Health Department as in charge of Lake Borough sanitation prob- lems.

The local team scored only 11 points to Wyalusing’s 38. Three Dallas matmen won. Chuck Baker decisioned Ed Howard, 127, 1-0. Rich Shel- don, 133, decisioned Bob Dibble, 2-1. Fred Adams pinned Pat Béobe in 5:03 in the 138 pound bout. Ray Yagloski’s loss, 4-3, was his third for the season. He also lost at Williamsport and Meyers and has won 11 bouts. It was also John Pickett’s third defeat. He has 12 wins. John was leading and time was running out when Wayne Jor- dan reversed suddenly and nearly pinned him, winning 9-6. John also lost to a Wyalus- ing man at Williamsport and to Kempinski at Hanover. Warren Boyes, Tex Wilson and Guy Shovlin were pinned. Boyes and Wilson had 4-7 records while Shovlin was 1-4. Others losing decisions for Dallas were Jack Schneider, Bruce Goeringer, Ron Dukinas. No one wrestled at 180 for the local school. Scheider’s record is now 0-2; Goeringer’s 0-8 and Dukinas’ is 2-10.

An application to the federal government for financial as- sistance will also be made. He said the purpose of the meeting Thursday night was to report on the progress of the authority to date and to present the system to the three munici- palities for their ‘‘quick ap- proval’’. He asked that if possible the three communities start work immediately on adopting ordi- nances that would give the authority and the municipalities the legal right to proceed with the 1.2 billion gallon capacity. system. No pumps will be used in the system. It will operate entirely on a gravity flow principle. Dallas Township solicitor Frank Townend asked why the Oak Hill section was not in- cluded in the design as he thought it would be favorable - since there were enough homes there to warrant their inclu- sion. ; The Weston engineer said it would not be economically feasible at this time. “The way for Oak Hill to come in,” he said, ‘‘would be to pump and this would be very expensive for residents there.” He said it may also depend on what Harveys Lake might do. “If the lake was in on the plan, Oak Hill wouldn’t have to go so far.” Mr. Townend then asked about including Shrine Acres and the grounds around the school complex. The engineer said the school and the new junior high were included in the program, but that the unit cost would have to be increased considerably to include Shrine Acres. “We would have to build a mile or two of sewer line just to service the dozen or so homes there,” he said. “We see approximately two miles planned out to the Carver- ton area,” Attorney Townend said. Mr. Townend then said there was a planned development of Upper Demunds Road for some- time in the next three to five years and asked if they would be included. } Chairman Martin said the engineers had been charged to take consideration of expan- sion in all areas. Another problem area is the Heddon development, Mr. Mar- tin reported. ‘It cannot be picked up by gravity. We tried everything conceivable but would have to make a 40 foot cut to do so. It is not feasible at this time,” Fernbrook on the easterly side of Terrace Drive was pointed out by Attorney Town- end as being another area where the authority might ex- pect complaint. He said some streets there are served com- ing down the hill but that noth- ing was being provided for the lower side towards the creek. The answer was that claim- ing a right of way to the eight or nine houses in that location would be very expensive, but that the system has been de- signed to extend there when the area grows. In reiterating once again the importance of acting immedi- ately on achieving community ° THE DALLAS POST, FEB. 13, 199 cooperation, Mr. Martin de- clared that ’time is of the essence.’ ‘‘Construction costs are go- ing crazy,” he said. ‘One rea- son is .a shortage of labor. We are paying now for all the peo- ple who left the valley 20 years ago and have not come back yet.” Prior to April, he said, we need those ordinances. ‘Of course, until we get bids, they cannot be acted upon. But they should be ready to the point where all we need do is plug in the numbers.” In calling for an estimate of time from the three munici- palities in which to act upon the required ordinances, the general consensus was that they would be prepared by the middle of the month.

The N.D.E.A. special project for the wiring of the present junior high school for a mas- ter antenna system and the purchase of video tape re- corders was approved. Director Harry Lefko re- ported that the Wrestling team was doing a great job and was undefeated to date. Andrew Kozemchak brought up the subject of prayer in the schools and advised returning to the old practice. He said he did not see any reason to honor one radical in the Supreme Court and made a motion to restore prayer and Bible read- ing. Mr. LaBerge said during the early part of last year, the board had written to local con- -gressmen asking that action be taken in this direction. ‘‘We cannot defy the laws of the land,” he continued. ‘People must write to their congress- men and the courts.’ Director ‘Bernard Novicki, Stated hgpwas® i certainly not against prayer in: the schools but the law must be followed. ‘Prayers are taught -in the home and Chairman Fritzges agreed. Angered at their refusal to second his motion, Mr. Kozem- chak called all other board members "’gutless’’, whereupon Mr. Fritzges said he believed a retraction was forthcoming and he did not approve of Kozemchak’s insult against board members. Mr. Kozemchak said he would not retract his accusation and that present problems are re- sulting from the lack of Bible reading in the schools. “We're raising a generation of Kooks,’ he concluded. Other board members, though in accord with the prac- tice, reiterated their opinion that they could not defy the law. This, too, would not pre- sent a good example to stu- dents, they said. Absent were Jack Richardson, Gar Smith and Milton Evans. 6 BH she is | SHAVERTOWN With the sun making its ap- . pearance quite frequently these days, we must realize that Spring is not too far away and although the chill: tempera- tures rein, they are bearable with the thought of nicer things to come.

Lester R. Lewis, host direc- tor, introduced Mr. Brown, and the concert was on the air. The first three numbers, traditional offerings, were con- ducted sedately, with little pyrotechnical display. With the Mississippi Suite, the podium came to-life, and with the Czech Polka it vi- brated, Mr. Brown throwing into it everything that he had, which was a considerable amount of bounce. In the Catskill Legend and the traditional Tales from the Vienna Woods, the podium was once more sedate. "“Mr. ‘Brown ‘was generous, sharing ‘the applause with the orchestra, inviting members to rise at the conclusion of each selection. Before the final number, the guest conductor expressed his appreciation for the hospitality shown by school and com- munity, paid tribute to Mr. Lewis and to the hard working music students, and asked Mr. Lewis to take a bow. Mr. Brown is professor of music at Temple University, and conducts both the univer- sity orchestra and the concert band. In December, he directed the \PMEA All-State Orchestra at the forum in Harrisburg. The auditorium was com- fortably filled, but not to over- flowing. It was possible to find parking space without too great trouble.

He stated that he was frightened at the time he was picked up by State Police a few hours after the crime had been committed, that he thought he might have gone back to the station after leaving it, but later denied this. His car tank showed only one gallon of gas. Shonk appeared much younger than his 26 years, a consideration which may have had impact on the jury. He also suffers from diabetes, re- quiring insulin injections, which accounts for his having been confined at Chase rather than in the customary detention place. He talked with his parents, at such time as counsel was called to the bench to confer with Judge Hourigan. They sat directly behind him inside the rail in the courtroom, to give him moral support. They had expected an ac- quittal on grounds of insuf- ficient evidence to connect their son with the crime. Discrepancies in statements of the accused made. at pre- liminary hearings Des 19, 1968, and Ded. 26, 1968, ‘with state- ments made at the February trial, were brought out by sworn statements of court stenographers. Shonk said he could not re- member. ‘ His court-appointed Attorney Anthony B. Panaway offered a skillfully knitted defense in the face of an almost universal conviction that the youth had committed the crime and had panicked afterward. The case had attracted con- siderable attention from other members of the bar.
