State funds necessary
for borough recreation
It seems that political pres-
sure is needed to acquire state
funds for the proposed recre-
ation program in Dallas Bor-
ough. In a report made to
Dallas Borough Council at a
meeting Jan. 20, councilman
George Thomas stated that
the matter comes up in Harris-
burg in February and that he
had been advised the borough
would have to fight to get the
matching $14,000 state funds
expected.
For the second winter plans
for skating facilities and fur-
ther development of the Burn-
dale Road site have fallen
short. The facilities will not be
available until the state appro-
priates the money. Local funds
are on hand and plans have
been approved by the state.
Mayor Steve Hartman told
council he had received a let-
ter and clippings from Arizona
regarding the Valley Paperback
Co. He indicated his concern. .
Police Chief Russell Honeywell
said he had also received clip-
pings regarding the alleged
pornographic literature pub-
lished by the company. Solicitor
Charles Lemmond Jr. recom-
mended that no action be taken
at this time as this is pre-
judgement of the company.
Robert Jones, a resident of
Reservoir Road, appeared at
the meeting to issue a com-
plaint concerning the condition
of Reservoir Road. Mr. Jones
said that not only is snow re-
“moval inadequate, but that he
felt the road had deteriorated
because it was not oiled last
summer. Andrew Parrento, road
supervisor, stated that he was
unable to obtain oil at that
time. Council decided that 3,000
gallons of oil will be specified
in bids for road materials this
year.
Bids were received and a
contract was awarded to L.L.
Richardson, Dallas Dodge deal-
er, for a new four-wheel drive
truck with a removable tapered
snow plow. The truck lists for
$11,528.89, but discount and
trade-in on the old truck amount
to $2,828.89, making purchase
price for the borough $8,700.
Report of final tax collec-
tions for 1969 was submitted
by tax collector Thomas E.
Reese. The amount of $32,856.14
was accepted and Mr. Reese
was commended by council for
doing a good job. :
The borough voted to renew
membership in the Pennsyl-
vania Association of Boroughs
at a yearly fee of $91. Solicitor
Lemmond strongly advised
council to join the organization.
He said he felt they gave good
representation in Harrisburg
and offered the additional ser-
vice of having a resident doctor
in government available to
give advice when problems
arise. 3
Discussion was held on the
necessity of acquiring a new
police radio. The present one
belongs to the fire and ambu-
lance companies and will be
moved during the remodeling
of the borough building. A

HIGH SCHOOL
by MILLIE WEISS
Fashion Show
Each junior and senior seams-
tress of LLHS has been busily
searching for that special pat-
tern and the unique and bright
material that would be just right
for, her coat and dress ensem-
ble or pants suit. They are all
preparing for the annual fash-
ion show that will be held
Mar. 5 at the Lake Elementary
building. Sponsored by the
Harveys Lake Woman’s Club,
ribbons for first through fourth
place will be awarded. The
girls will be judged on the sew-
ing of the garment, how it’s put
together, and the amount of
poise with which they model it.
The winner of this district com-
petition will go on to regionals
and then to state. The girls will
model these same outfits at a
spring assembly, to be held
around Easter. Mary Alice Luk-
asavage and Martha Phillips
are home economics teachers.

supplies the students with lunch
but also breakfast! Between 8

les are filled with the popula-
tion of LLHS nonchalantly
munching donuts and sipping
hot chocolate. Well, after fight-
ing the biting wind and icy snow
surrounding the walls of the
high school, nice hot chocolate is
a welcome sight and the stu-
dents really appreciate this
added courtesy.

Donkeys at LLHS!
The most rollicking and
hilarious sports event that ever
took place in LL’s gym occur-
red Friday, Jan. 23. This bas-
ketball game was sponsored by
the lettermen, who challenged
12 male faculty members to
a friendly little contest. The
rules of a regular basketball
game were slightly altered. No
one could shoot for a basket un-
less he was astride his donkey.
There was only one hitch—the
donkeys were specially trained
to do the opposite of what their
riders demanded! The faculty
members involved were Big
Lennie Threston, Johnnie Z,
Psycho Race. Cotton Jenkins,
George Francis Peter Curry
Jr., E. J. Narke, Davie Happy
Harris, Easy Ed Ladamus,
Kenny Boy Maciak, Wild

Oliver, and Sparky Sharok. All
senior lettermen participated.
As a preliminary to the don-
key game, the girls’ varsity
basketball team played the
boys basketball team. The boys
had one very small disadvan-
tage—they had to wear boxing
gloves!
The chaperones for the affair
were Carol Ann Oliver, John
Andrusis, Martha Phillips, Jane
Morris and Florenoe Finn.
Cheerleading Contest
The cheerleaders of LLHS
traveled to the Catholic Youth
Center, S. Washington Street;

leading contest and did an ex-
cellent job of representing the

captains of the squad.
