Lake trout season
gets icy beginning
by SHAWN MURPHY
Despite the shards of glittering ice covering
much of Harveys Lake this past Saturday, over
3,000 eager anglers enjoyed one of the finest
opening day trout catches in years.
Using bait that ranged from lowly earth worms
to the more sophisticated mepps and C.P. Swing
spinners, the fishermen stood shoulder to shoulder
along the Lake’s shoreline in several areas or
fished from light crafts.
The largest trout reported snared on opening
day was a 17” brown trout. Walter Lazusky, assis-
tant supervisor of the Pennsylvania Fish Com-
mission in Sweet Valley, said that since the
average size of such fish is approximately 10”, the
Proclamation
Whereas the entire month of May, 1970,
will be observed as Clean-up, Fix-up, Paint-up
Month throughout Luzerne County, and
whereas this is a very important campaign in
relation to the general appearance of our Bor-
ough, this campaign should therefore receive
the attention of all our residents and property
owners alike,
Therefore, I, William J. Connolly, Mayor
of Harveys Lake Borough, do hereby proclaim
the month of May as Clean-up, Fix-up, Paint-
1p month in Harveys Lake Borough.
In conjunction with this campaign I have
appointed Mr. Primo Berrettini, Pole 113,
Alderson section, as general chairman to lead
this campaign at Harveys Lake Borough.
I further urge all groups, organizations,
residents and property owners in Harveys
Lake Borough to give their serious co-opera-
tion and support to Mr. Berrettini so that he
and Harveys Lake Borough might carry this
worthwhile project to a productive and suc-
cessful conclusion.

Mayor, Harveys Lake Borough
17-incher was a “nice size, but not spectacular.”
Fish that got away ranged in size from 25’ up, on
first telling, to well over 30” by the time the dis-
appointed anglers had returned home. :
Most of the fish caught were rainbow or brook
trout, Mr. Lazusky said, as brown trout are reluc-
tant to bite when the water temperature is as low as
it was Saturday. Commenting on the chilly water
* was an old-timer lunching at Link’s, who was over-
heard saying he’d never remembered the ice
staying around for the opening of trout season
before. His companions agreed. In fact, the ice was
responsible for many amusing incidents, some of
them real fish stories. Dinghys were reported
marooned on the ice floes, and Charlie Meck, a
fishing enthusiast from Sterling Ave., Dallas, told
of one fisherman who watched in dismay as a
larger-than-average rainbow trout jerked loose
from his line and flip-flopped across the ice to the
next dock and into the waiting creel of another
fisherman. :
As is traditional, a fisherman’s pancake break-
fast was served at the Alderson Methodist Church,
and hoagies made by women of the church were so
popular that one of the ladies estimated they could
have sold a hundred more with ease. Home-baked
pies drew rave reviews from the hungry fishermen
and a youngster munching on a piece of apple pie

no more aspirin
for Dallas pupils
Dallas scheol children suffering from head-
aches, stomach aches, or any other aches will no
longer receive the tustomary dole of aspirins, soda
mints or lozenges from the school nurses, Dr. Rob-
ert A. Mellman decided recently. The interim
action taken ‘by the Superintendent of Dallas
Schools was approved at last week’s school board
meeting.
Similar to recommendations by the public
school nurses and the Pennsylvania State Educa-
tion Association passed recently, the move was
made to protect both school personnel and the
young students.
In explaining his decision, Dr. Mellman stated
that aspirin given without a physician’s knowledge
