in the Harding area who have
watched bubbles coming up in
mid-stream of the river only at
times when PG&W was pump-
ing gas into its storage wells,
the company is attempting to
tell an unbelievable story.
Meanwhile, some people will
obviously take the position of
James O’Donnell, owner and
operator of the Abington Cloth-
ing Care Center in Clarks Sum-
mit, who recently smelled gas
leaking near the rear of his
all-gas equipped laundry busi-

writer that he called the gas
company and they repaired the
leak. “This is an all-gas place,
you know. We get good service
from the company. I don’t want
to say anything against the utili-
ties, or anything. Ireally can’t.”
Note: In a coming issue Mr.
Freeman will present his second
article which will deal with
some possible solutions to the
natural gas problems, as well
as take a critical look at related
state and federal agencies.

school secretaries
appeal salaries
At the Dallas school board
meeting Jan. 12 two secretaries
at the Westmoreland Elemen-
tary School appealed their
salary schedules. Ida Edwards
and Mary Shaver, secretaries
to William Austin, reported
that they had opportunities for
other employment at a figure
higher than the $3,450 a year
they are currently making.
Mrs. Shaver said she has been
employed for five years, eight
hours a day, 12 months a year,
without obtaining a full time
status. Mrs. Edwards said ‘she;
has been at her post for three:
and a half years full time and
is also not on the salary sched-
ule. Mrs. Shaver said her post
was a responsible one because
she is in charge of all bus trans-
portation and the summer
school program.
The school board recom-
mended that they not go into
specifics at that time but dis-
cuss the matter at a closed
session after the regular meet-
ing was adjourned.
President Jack LaBerge
brought up the subject of snow
removal. It was reported that
all bills for it have not been
submitted to the school district
as yet. Mr. LaBerge suggested
that snow fences be installed
to prevent the large drifts that
\:
SWEET VALLEY
occurred during the last storm
in the high school complex.
One drift was reported to be
12 feet deep and to extend from
the lower corner of the lot
over the senior high building.
It was reported that Mr. Jenkins
and Mr. Paul had to use a
snowmobile to gain access to the
building. A tree planting pro-
gram was also suggested to
provide a natural windbreak. It
was recommended that the
architects be consulted.
A resolution was requested to
approve the interim action ‘of
the" superintendent ‘to appoint:
Paula Seott, 54 Huntsville Road,
as a temporary professional em-
ploye effective Jan. 13. Miss
Scott graduated from College
Misericordia Jan. 12, with a
major in elementary education.
Resolution was approved with
board members Bernard No-
vicki and Earl Fritzges declin-
ing to vote on the measure.
Elva Costello, RD 1, Dallas,
who will graduate from Wilkes
College Jan. 17 was approved
as a temporary professional
employe. Miss Costello, who
will receive a B.S. degree with
a major in elementary edu-
cation, will be assigned to the

ment of Dallas High School,

cash award of $45 in the 47th
annual Agricultural and Home

Exhibit Competition at the 1970
Pennsylvania State Farm Show,

The display titled, ‘‘Any

several ways of accessorizing
a basic tunic jumper for dating
time, day time and leisure
time wear. The basic peacock
blue tunic jumper used with
long stands of pearls, glove and
clutch bag became a dinner
date outfit; the same jumper
used with a blouse and scarf
identified it for daytime, school
or business. A chic leisure time
outfit showed the same tunic
with a long sleeved knit top,
slacks and printed sash belt.
The exhibit was designed and
prepared by Mary Ann Kush,
