If nominations are open for an
official song for Boy Scout
Troop 440 of this area, mine will
be ‘Singing in the Rain.” We
don’t know how much singing
they did after the ceremonies
campfire where proud parents
witnessed their sons in action
and younger brothers (and
sisters?) envied their big broth-
ers; but they had the rain for it!
A nice, soft drizzle, inter-
spersed with heavy downpours,
started early in the evening and
continued all night to thorough-
ly dampen the dust. The air was
washed clean for an even more
pungent aroma of tear-produc-
ing mingled with the musty,
mildewy odor of stored tents.
1 hope all mothers thoroughly
checked their brave Scouts (and
their gear) for ticks—just in
case the spray missed some in
the one tick-infested tent the
boys slept(?) in. Ugh! Lest one
very concerned grandmother
become too vociferous with
remarks about her grandson’s
welfare, may she be reminded
of the ‘‘walking sticks” that
dropped like rain on the tent,
and had to be swept and shook
out of everything in the timber
camp back of Shickshinny
Mountain, just a few short years
ago!
The World Book Encycloped-
ia does not mention that these
ugly-looking insects are poison-
ous, but there have been enough
round the Saturday night -
insurmountable stone wall at
the garden’s lower border. Not
that they couldn’t have buried
the boulder, but young Sam and
Harry Lamoreaux need a bar-
rier so that all the pumpkins
they’re growing won’t roll away
down the hill.
Mrs. Phoebe Traher
(“Granny Grunt’ if you say it
with a smile on your face and a
twinkle in your eye), who lives
on top of Sentee Hill with her
daughter and son-in-law, the
Bill Wildoners, was visiting this
past weekend in West Nanti-
coke. Oh my! Granny, you
missed the camp out! One of
Mrs. Traher’s grandsons, Lloyd
Wildoner, will graduate from
Great Lakes Naval Training
~ Center school and be home for a
ten-day furlough beginning next
weekend. Another of Mrs.
Traher’s, you might say
‘“‘adopted’”’ grandsons, Duane
Freeman, was sent to Da Nang,
Vietnam, after having been sta-
tioned in Washington, D.C.
where he worked in the Penta-
gon. :
Wouldn't it be nice if we all
" forgot politics long enough to
_ pray together for guidance and
wisdom for the leaders of our
country so they could get us out
of hot spots like Vietnam and
* boys like Lloyd and Duane and
old wives’ tales about them that -
- I'll not give them a chance to
prove it on me or mine if I can
help it. The encyclopedia fur-
ther states that: ‘“The female
walking stick usually drops her .
eggs on the ground,” and that
‘the young are neglected and °
few survive.” Well, there were
so many female walking sticks '
with uncharacteristically
strong traits of motherhood in
the neck o’ the woods that
summer that I'd dispute those
statements, too!
I wonder what is causing the
rash of throat infections and in-
flammations so prevalent in
recent weeks. Dennis Cogper’s
dad said Dennis was unable to
attend Troop 440’s campfire
ceremonies because he had a
“strep throat.” Our Sally, who
is prone to the same ailment, is
missing her first full day of
school this school term because
of it, and there have been num-
erous reports of respiratory ail-
ments all spring. It really is
time we try to curb air and
water pollution.
Den and Nora Lamoreaux
have piled the boulders and
rocks they've gathered from
their garden plot into an almost

thousands more wouldn’t have
to go do our dirty work while we
stand back and hold their coats?
I think too much has been
said, already, about sex educa-
tion for our children—but I'm
going to add my two cents’
worth! \
I think we humans should
begin practicing what we
preach and take our lessons
from the birds and bees and
other ‘lesser than human”
animals. A mother animal (and,
sometimes, both parent ani-
mals) forages and feeds its
young and teaches them to hunt
and defend themselves. Some-
times, it’s as much of a joy to
behold the concern of parent an-
imals as it is to watch the
playful antics of their mischie-
vous offspring! But where re-
production is concerned, the
aprong strings are cut and the
young are allowed to do what
comes naturally, and if we
humans kept our noses out of
her classroom, old Mother
Nature teaches a pretty good
lesson and could do a better job
of balancing her ecological
scale. Too many of us ‘human
animals’ take our lessons from
the cow-bird who lays her eggs
in someone else’s nest and
leaves the responsibility of
rearing her young to someone
else.

A request from the newly
formed Harveys Lake
Municipal Authority for a loan
of $4,400 was once again side-
stepped by Harveys Lake Coun-
cil at its regular monthly meet-
ing May 7.
As explained by Donald
McFadden, Council solicitor
and acting solicitor for the
municipal authority, the funds
are needed for a variety of
items ranging from imprinted
stationery to salaries for the
services of a secretary and
solicitor.
“The sooner we can obtain
funds,” Mr. McFadden ex-
plained, ‘‘the sooner
Authority can get to the critical
stages to determine
everyone wants to know—what
sewers will cost.”
To date, Mr. McFadden re- :
ported, the municipal authority
has filed an application for
government funds and has met
with members of the Back
Mountain Municipal Authority .
to determine the feasibility of
‘going in with them.”
Expressing a desire to under-
stand more fully the Municipal
. Authority’s plans was Council-
man Thomas Cadwalader, who
suggested that ‘it would" be
proper for the Authority to meet
with Council in order to go over
the needed funds and to come to
a better understanding of the
over all job.”
Council agreed, then, to meet
with Mr. McFadden and other °
members of the authority May
12.
Councilman Carl Swanson in-
troduced a contract which had
+ been prepared to provide resi-
dents of Harveys Lake Borough
with long sought after garbage
collection. According to Mr.
Swanson, Galka’s Ash Hauling
Company will collect trash on a
weekly basis beginning May 18.

Three 20-gallon containers per

Cost of the collection service
to the Borough will be $10,500

mainder of 1970. Terms of the
contract provided that Mr.
Galka will supply labor, equip-
ment and expenses incurred for
landfill use, said Mr. Swanson,
as well as a performance bond

A motion from Councilman
Fred Kohl to relieve Allen
Morrow of his responsibilities
. as sanitation officer was unan-
imously approved by Council.
Several councilmen cited
examples of poor attitude on
Mr. Morrow's part as reason for
. the action and requested that
Police Chief Walbridge Lein-
thall assume the job tem-
porarily until a replacement
can be found. The request was
approved by vote of Council.
Borough resident William
Vincent appeared before Coun-
cil to complain that his property
was still being damaged by
flooding as a result of con-
struction of a Borough-owned
road behind his home. Mr. Vin-
cent noted that Council had
+ agreed to investigate the pro-
blem in October but that as yet
had done nothing. While

unable to obtain funds
suggested that the problem
could be solved by replacing the
crown of the road thr&¥h grad-
ing, Mr. Vincent maintained
that a 24-inch drain pipe would
be needed to correct the situa-
tion. As a stop gap measure Mr.
Kohl, chairman of the roads
committee, was asked to direct
the toadmaster to grade the
road in accordance with Mr.
Hoblak’s suggestion.
The name of Al Wandel was
introduced by Mr. Hoblak as a
candidate for special duty
policeman but was not ap-
proved by Council. Voting
against the assignment was Mr.
Kohl, who indicated that the
would prefer to see a full time
officer named, and Council
president Francis Fisher, who
pointed out that nominations of
this nature should more pro-
perly come from (je police
