annum. Richard Disque was

Lemmond Jr. was reappointed

United Penn Bank was ap-
pointed depository for all
borough funds. Councilman
George Thomas moved to defer
appointment of a borough en-
gineer at this time. Appoint-
ment of special policemen was
also tabled for a regular council
meeting.
After adjournment of the re-
organization meeting, George
McCutcheon, chairman of the
Borough RecreationCommittee,
appeared with his committee to
discuss proposed recreational
facilities in the borough. Coun-
cilman George Thomas ques-
tioned engineering fees paid to
date on the long delayed pro-
ject and on contingencies in
the existing contract. :
It was reported that despite
excellent work by the committee
and support of the council, the
recreational facilities are not
going to be available until the
state appropriates the money.
Local funds are available and
plans have been approved but
the state matching funds are
not presently in the budget. In
the words of Mr. McCutcheon,
‘‘the project is deadlocked.”
Richards expresses
hopes for township
Edward E. Richards, Staub
Road, Trucksville, was sworn
in as a supervisor at the Kings-
ton Township regorganization
meeting Monday night. The
oath of office was administered
to him by Earl Gregory,
Justice of the Peace.
After the ceremony Mr.
Richards began his term of
office by expressing his hopes
‘or the future of Kingston
l'ownskip. He said, **'The Town-
ship has much to be thankful
for and to be proud of—such as
updating the zoning laws, the
playground program for the
children and the police pension
fund. Ly
“In this changing world,”
Mr. Richards said, ‘‘there are
more cnanges to be made.’ He
suggested “lessening the tax
load on the people, encourag-
ing business and industry to
iocate industry in the area and
extending road services to help
residents.’
Speaking of the recent snow-
storm, Mr. Richards deplored
conditions on some state and
county roads. ‘‘We must be pre-
pared to help in an emergency
regardess of whether people
are on a private or county
road. We must expand road ser-
vices to all who need them.”
Mr. Richards said, ‘‘ Inadequate
starting date set
for FISH service
Ash Wednesday, Feb. 11,
has been designated as the
official starting date for Fish,
the neighborhood volunteer ser-
vice. Over 80 people in the Back
Mountain area have volun-
teered their services to help
neighbors in time of trouble.
Twenty more volunteers are
needed to make Fish ideally
workable as a community pro-
ject.
Men or married couples are
needed for the 12 hour night
shift. Anyone who can answer
a telephone is needed. They
will be provided with a list of
additional volunteers who will
provide transportation, baby
sitting or other services. The
fact that the individual volun-
teer himself cannot transport
anyone does not disqualify him
or her from just answering
calls.
The Steering Committee will
hold two special training ses-
sions Jan. 26 and 27 at 8 o’-
clock in St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church. The program will be
completely explained and all
questions will be answered at
these sessions.
Anyone interested is asked
to contact his or her local
church for further information

service has been given by the
state and county crews and we
must help all the people.”
Mr. Richards also looks for
‘‘upgrading public opinion of
the police force.” He wants
“more effective government’
and said ‘‘if consolidation will
mean better government we
will go all out.” He expressed
the opinion that the city mana-
ger form of government in
Wilkes-Barre had not been
successful because they had
waited too many years to
make the change.
Mr. Richards suggested ap-
pointing a full time Township
clerk saying, ‘‘We have out-
grown a part-time secretary-
treasurer.”

and a short business meeting.
Plans for the annual Febru-
ary retreat at Sky Lake Feb. 7
and 8 were completed. A dinner
meeting for prospective mem-
bers was tentatively scheduled
in March.

by Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, Mr.

school attendance good
despite hazardous roads
Dallas School District re-
ported an overall attendance of
only 71 percent Monday, the
first day of school after the
Christmas vacation.
Busses ran late and many
motorists experienced difficul-
ties in transporting children to
school. Reported to be particu-
larly difficult was Church Street
where only one vehicle could
pass at a time, causing busses
to pull over and wait until the
road was clear of traffic from
the opposite direction.
Robert Dolbear, principal of
Dallas Senior High School,
Andrew Roan
has accident
An automobile accident Dec.
31 caused $450 worth of damages
to Andy Roan’s delivery truck in
front of his place of business.
Dallas Township police report
that the vehicle operated by
Mr. Roan, 234 Ferguson Ave.,
Shavertown, was stopped in
the southbound lane, signaling
a left turn into Roan Beer Dis-
tributors, when struck in the
rear. The second vehicle, also
traveling south, was driven by
Paul W. Mahlar, RD 1, Dallas
and substained $600 worth of
damages. Investigating for
Dallas Township was officer
Carl Miers assisted by Kings-
ton Township patrolman Cliff
Culver and Dallas Borough
patrolman Sev Newberry.
family living
in hew series
A remarkable new program,
*‘A Time of Your Life,” will be
telecast this month over 44.
Aimed at pre-teens, it's a 15-
week series on family living
designed for fifth and sixth
grades.
Sex education is only a part
of the series which focuses on
the understanding of the family.
The programs will take up
topics like self-control, decision
making, and getting along in
the family group. Four of the
programs toward the end of
the series will take up the
- matter of sex in the context of
love and marriage and will
deal with these subjects frankly
and graphically. Pregnancy
and childbirth will be explained.
said he was ‘‘well pleased, ab-
senteeism at the high school
was below average.” Dallas
Junior High School reported 66
students absent and the inter-
mediate school had 55 out of
615 students absent.
Sister M. Melanie, principal of
Gate of Heaven School, reported
only 27 students absent from
an enrollment of 576 students.
Confusion arose about a bus
reported to have experienced
difficulty in transporting Dallas
students to West Side Area
Vocational—Technical School.
Students were mistakenly under
the impression that the school
was closed and returned home.
The matter is being checked
with officials of the schools in-
volved.
