Ste. n of 2s if me, the ass- ere the nth 3 ee for P.8 ind ing in jas y's the ell lis- so ar en re ld ng nd il a Dallas council forms group IN bus squabble Councilmen George Thomas, Jerry Machell and solicitor Charles Lemmond were ap- pointed as a special committee by chairman Harold Brobst of Dallas borough council to work out some solution for the chil- dren ng# being bused this year by ola School District. Action followed a request by Mrs. Martin Samuels to provide some way of protecting borough youngsters who must walk along dangerous highways to the high schools. Mr. Thomas expressed his displeasure over the: school’ board action and suggested that a citizens’ committee work with his group to meet with the school board. Tom Reese heads a similar committee of concerned Dallas citizens. Mrs. Samuels offered two: suggestions, namely that par- ents provide their own money for a Wilkes-Barre Transit Co. bus to transport Dallas Borough studegots and that council write the PUC seeking to allow buses to go to the school line. Council agreed to contact both the Wilkes-Barre Bus Co. and the PUC. Mrs. Samuels also asked that a mpember of council attend all scifbol board meetings and re- port back to the people. This request, however, was denied since members - stated they attend such meetings as par- ents and may not try to run the school board. Willard Newberry said school directors were considering busing students from Kkinder- garten and including first, second, third and fourth grades. William Berti added that blink- ing lights were also under study. Both men are on the citizens committee. Councilman Thomas said a survey was underway as to the number of children involved and the school district was also taking a census. He promised a report by the end of this week. Mayor Robert Brown said he felt crossing guards should be placed under his jurisdiction and that he be granted author- ity to place same where needed. Board granted him this author- ity. Jerry Machell expressed his concern over the children’s wey and said everything pos- Roice group holds reunion The ninth annual reunion of the Freeman Boice family was held Aug. 31 at the home of Solomon Boice, Sugar Hollow. The meeting was conducted by vice president Elmer Boice. The hymn, Rock of Ages, was sung followed by a minute of silent prayer and the Lord’s Prayer. Officers elected for 1970 were: President, Harry Boice; vice ‘president, Elmer Boice; Secre- tary-treasurer, Evelyn Boice. sible should be done to safe- guard them. Mrs. Joseph Katyl, a crossing guard, reported that few realize that there are no safety patrols in the first four grades and none at Huntsville and Main Streets and children are in- clined to run when not super- vised. Mr. Thomas said the same condition prevails at 5th and 6th grades and that school board could take additional monies out of the budget if necessary to provide more buses. The whole matter re- sulted when an access road leading from New Goss Manor altered walking time of the students, cutting them below the 1.5 mile limit. Chairman Harold Brobst said a bus would run about $3000 a year and he would do all in his power to rectify the problem. Martin Samuels said he realized that whatever the whatever the school board does for one area it must do for all and ‘I don’t think they are prepared to make any major concessions.” In other action, council di- rected that the amount of $2602.60 be given to the town- ship in settling the realty transfer tax problem over the Linear and Newberry property sales. Solicitor Charles Lem- mond presented a letter from solicitor Frank Townend of the township setting forth the facts on the case. George Thomas promised that ice skating would be forth- coming at the borough recrea- tion plot and blamed engineers for delay in progress on the . project up to date. Chairman Brobst announced that base would be put on Machell Avenue before winter but the job could not be com- pleted until next year. A spectator asked about sesquicentennial funds and was informed that this had to be divided between communities participating. Placement of no parking between signs was authorized on Machell Avenue opposite Spring Street. Parking on one side of Norton Avenue will be put into force following an ordinance to’be drawn up by the solicitor. Disclosure that no speeding charges can be made in the borough led to more re- search on the matter by Attor- ney. Lemmond. Residents of Stone Hedge ex- pressed their dissatisfaction over lack of road takeover by council. Harold Brobst an- swered that this would undoubt- edly be done next year. The chairman also promised Wellington Avenue residents that a new road will be pro- vided by shopping center plan- ners and First National Bank before the old one is torn out. He said construction of the new area will probably not take place until spring. Council approved the joint police survey ordinance. continued from PAGE 2 struction of an addition to the high school.

The UAW, and more specifically Renford Wilce, have other concerns to tend to before an NLRB election comes up however. Following announcement of the UAW resolu- tion Sept. 7, Mr. Wilce, a prime mover in the UAW'’s organizational efforts while still president of Natona’s ALOA secion, was relieved of his responsiblities in the ALOA on charges of violating his loyalty oath. As is customary in suspension cases, a hearing has been set for Mr. Wilce Mon- day, Oct. 6, at the Hunlock Creek Fire Hall. John Hardiman, ALOA section president, will preside. It is generally conceded that the meeting will not be a quiet one; it may well set the tone for the remainder of this hotly contended race.

Contracts will be accepted if bidders can meet paving dead- lines set by the State, council agreed, with bids to be opened Oct. 1.

Only one week may be taken during the period from May 15 to Sept. 15. Officers will be en- titled to six sick days and may accrue a maximum of 24 days. Approval was unanimous. Fred Merrill checked on the Division of Property status between Lake Borough and Township and reported the delay was apparently in attorney Stephen Teller’s office. He urged the secretary to write a strongly worded letter with the assistance of the solicitor urging prompt action to both Mr. Teller and Judge Olshefski with copies to Lake Township Supervisors and other members of the court appointed com- mission. Council approved. SCHOOL BUSING. . . continued from PAGE 1 groups was held Sept. 11, with another scheduled for ‘‘some- time’’ within a week to 10 days. At that time, the committee was informed, figures would be available irom Dr. Mellman pinpointing the exact number of students not bused by the district. According to Thomas Reese, committee chairman, there has been ‘‘no news’’ of another ~ meeting. He is less than op- timistic about chances for a change of heart by the school board, and says that ‘if they're going to make any concessions it definitely won’t be this year.” Still another committee, this one formed by the Dallas borough council and headed by George Thomas, is charged with looking into the possibility of providing public bus transpor- tation for students. Mr. Thomas said that his committee, too, is waiting for figures from the superinten- dent’s office and is, mean- while, making ‘‘analyses’ of the situation. He says that the group will probably meet some- time this week. Even grassroots’ support for the walking students seems to have withered.

Division was made on a 70.9 to a 20.1 percent ratio and culminates a long period of waiting on the part of both municipalities. The Lake Borough was created Dec. 7, 1966 and began operating Jan. 1, 1968. Sheron Whitesell, vice chairman of the Lake Township Supervisors, said the verdict places a heavy load on the township and it will probably be necessary to bor- row money over a five year period to pay the borough. In the division of equip- ment the Township retained a payloader, three snow plows, two trucks, stone rake and grader, the borough receiving the police cruiser, one truck, one snow plow and ash spreader. The township re- tains the largest area of roads to maintain, while the borough encompasses the heavily popu- lated resort area.
