sB600 million needed
for sewage treatment
The Commonwealth of
~ Pennsylvania needs to spend
over $616 million on municipal
waste treatment plant con-
struction in the next 32 years
according to the latest esti-
mates of the U.S. Environmen-
tal Protection Agency (EPA).
Frank Blaisdell, acting Mid-
Atlantic regional director for
EPA’s Office of Water Quality,
said this is the projected cost of
upgrading existing Pennsyl-
vania water pollution control
plants, building new facilities
where untreated waste water is
being discharged into Pennsyl-
vania’s waters, and providing
for expected increases in popu-
lation.
Nationwide, Blaisdell said,
more than $12 billion worth of
construction is called for to
meet all state needs for waste
water treatment facilities.
EPA has made $47,525,100
available to Pennsylvania
communities for construction of
waste facilities for fiscal 1971,
for a total of $156,165,320 since
the federal grant program was
started in 1956.
The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency can, under existing
federal law, pay up to 55 percent
of the cost of Pennsylvania
municipal waste treatment
plants.
Mr. Blaisdell pointed out that
changes in treatment require-
ments imposed by water quality
standards, the impact of con-
struction inflation, construction
schedule changes and the
sewer complaints
aired at meeting
Complaints received by
Dallas Township Board of
Supervisors concerning con-
tractors’ digging of sewer lines
were discussed by the supervis-
ors at their meeting April 6. The
board noted many complaints
came from the Fernbrook Road
area and New Goss Manor.

proclaims a letter sent recently
to Back Mountain Girl Scouts
and their parents. The letter
cheerfully asserts that day
camping will be offered to
scouts during two encamp-
ments, from June 28 through
July 1, and from July 6 through
July 9.
The Irem Temple Country
Club picnic grounds will be the
site of the four-day camping
adventures, with activities
beginning at 9:30 a.m. and con-
cluding each day at 3:30 p.m.
. Campers will bring nose-bag

Activities will include hikes,
stick cooking, skits, camp fire
fiw, nature crafts, and cycling.
Moth scouts and non-scouts
are eligible to participate in the
program, states Mrs. Robert
Masoner, camp coordinator.
The cost for each camping
period is $5 for a registered
scout, $7.50 for a non-scout.

tain areas prior to the meeting,
and he said slabs of blacktop
were being removed from road-
ways, rather than normal cuts
being made. Mr. Lamoreaux
said he contacted the project
representative for Roy Weston,
engineering firm, and had
received full cooperation from
him. “I heard him personally
call a contractor’s man and tell
him to make proper cuts,” Mr.
Lamoreaux commented.
Chairman Philip Walter
appointed
Lamoreaux to contact officials
in Dallas Borough and Kingston
Township on this matter. It was
thought an inspector could be
appointed by the three munici-
palities, to make certain proper
procedures are used.
Also, Glenn Howell, township
secretary, was instructed to
write the engineering firm of
Roy Weston (with copies of the
letter to the Dallas Area
Municipal Authority and con-
tractors) as a further means of
obtaining proper procedures in
road work.
Zoning officer Fred: Dodson
requested - advice: on" several
zoning points from Solicitor
Frank Townend. Mr. Dodson
announced that a public hearing
is scheduled April 13 on Troup
Fund's appeal to establish a
private club at Newberry
Estate. The township planning
and zoning commission will
meet in regular session April 19,
at 7:30 p.m., in the township
building.

greater operating efficiency
could help hold costs down.
Mr. Blaisdell said the cost
estimates did not include the
additional cost of dealing with
the problems of combined
sewers, agricultural runoff,

don’t delay teaching
child safety rules
Your child is watching you!
He is a great one to copy almost
anything you do. Remember
this the next time you jaywalk
or cross the street with the red
light glaring at you, suggests
James E. Van Horn, extension
specialist in family life at The
Pennsylvania State University.
Safety rules regarding street
crossing should be a habit for a
child. If he has never learned to
wait for the green light, to cross
streets only at crossing lanes,
and to always look both ways
before crossing, he has a lot of
traffic lessons to catch up on.
When you observe good traf-
fic rules when walking and point
them out to your child, hell
begin to store up safety know-
ledge.
Begin the ‘walking safety”
routine when your child is just a
toddler, suggests Mr. Van Horn:
It takes time for a child to de-
velop caution and recognize
danger so start helping him
before he i$ Teddy to-go otit on
his own for school.
But don’t overdo it. Too many
cautions will make him afraid,
says Mr. Van Horn. Just be sure
he knows the major safety
rules, such as the meaning of
stoplights, looking both ways
when crossing the street, and
following the rules of traffic
guides.
