SNOWMOBILES
(continued from PAGE ONE)
Other than being water-logged, the only damage
to the snowmobiles was thought to be broken wind-
shields. Mr. Shimonis said he did not have in-
surance on the vehicles.
Young Jimmy Shimonis, son of the owner, was
present for the recovery. As the first snowmobile
was pulled from the water he called to his mother
that it was hers. “Look! The keys are still in it!”’ he
shouted with relief.
Men and equipment from Kingston Township
Civil Defense, under the direction of Henry Hill,
were on hand in case they were needed.
Some 50 people, at one time or another, wat-
ched various phases of the ‘rescue’ procedure.
Police Chief Updyke was in charge of the
recovery operation, and was assisted by Patrolmen
~ifford Culver and Frank Roginski.
RAPE CASE

their municipality. Their report of the incident was
that on or about Oct. 23, a girl, 15, a ward of the
court, and another girl, who was the sister of the
Back Mountain man, escaped from the Luzerne
County Detention Center. One girl has been appre-
hended; the other remains at large.
Last week, Luzerne County’s Chief Juvenile
Probation Officer Charles Adonizio signed a
complaint charging the Dallas Township with sta-
tutory rape, which was reported as taking place in
BeaMCreek Township. According to police, statu-
tory rape is having sexual relations with a girl un-
der 16 years of age, with her consent.
Wate Police troopers came to Dallas Township
Police Department with the warrant.
. Friday the young man turned himself in to Dal-
las Township police. He was arraigned the same
day before Magistrate Francis Flynn, Wilkes-
Barre Township, District 3-7. After the preliminary
arraignment, he was released on $7,000 bail.

In a statement to the press, Dr. Mellman said
he and Mrs. Mellman are looking forward to retire-
ment, but that their plans are still indefinite. He
also said he had planned to retire in March, but due
to the serious illness of Thomas H. Jenkins, secre-
tary-business manager, he would stay on as super-
intendent until the July date.

prior to Tuesday night’s regular meeting, John

board members for the “outstanding job’ he did
during his term of office.

“the tree for extra protection
keeping
the evergreen
ever-green
What can be more frustrating
than arriving home from a long
winter’s trek through snowy
woods—or through muddy
lots—only to discover that the
perfectly shaped Christmas
tree so painstakingly lugged
over so many miles . . . is nearly
dead.
State Forester Samuel S.
Cobb has a few tips to prevent
such disappointment when
picking out an evergreen tree.
“If the tree is fresh,” says
, Mr. Cobb, “you’ll be able to
bend the needle and it won’t
? break, and you can bump the
base of the tree hard on the
ground and the needles don’t
fall off. If the bottom of the
stump feels sappy moist, too,
you're fairly certain it’s fresh.”
To keep the tree viable, Mr.
Cobb suggests, ‘“‘cut an inch or
two off the base of the trunk.
This will allow it to take up
water more easily. Be sure to
add a pint or quart of water
each day to the stand, keeping
the water level above the bot-
tom of the trunk.”
Once the:tree is up, never
decorate the tree with cotton,
‘paper or other materials that
burn easily. Avoid wax candles,
check lights and wiring for worn
spots and cracks, and do not
overload electrical circuits. A

a combination of two gallons of
sodium silicate (water glass)

announcement of three new

master.

RADIO
(continued from PAGE ONE)
The station manager said the goal is to imple-
ment the public radio station with the opening of
the communications center for Channel 44 telecast-
ing next fall. Additional radio personnel will be
hired, Mr. Strimel said.
In letters to the Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare, Dr. Nile Coon and Blaze Gusic of
the State Department of Education, in coordination
with Dr. David Kurtzman, State Secretary of Edu-
cation, placed NPETA fund requests at the top of
the priority list for educational broadcasting
monies. John W. Macy Jr., president of the Corpor-
ation for Public Broadcasting, also favors
establishment of public radio in Northeastern
Pennsylvania through Channel 44 management.
At the present there are only two federally-
funded public radio stations in the state—one in
Philadelphia, owned by the public TV station, the
other in Pittsburgh, owned by Duquesne Universi-
ty.
Looking ahead, Mr. Strimel sees eventual es-
tablishment of a state public radio network, similar
to the Pennsylvania Public Television Network
" (PPTN) which was created to serve Channel 44 and
six other non-commercial television stations.
“There will be no limits in the scope of radio
services to the public under such an operation,”
Mr. Strimel pointed out.
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Educational
Television Association, comprised of 33 duly
elected directors who reside within the 15-county 44
viewing area, is headed by board chairman John H.
Davidson, vice president, Pennsylvania Power &
Light Co., and president J. Muir Crosby, who is vice
president, Northeastern Pennsylvania National
Bank & Trust Co. Anthony Musso, supervisor of
foreign languages and audio-visual coordinator,
Scranton Public Schools, is vice president and se-
cretary.
