Whitebread up to date, and of course it all takes time and money so it’ll have to be done over a period of time; it can’t be done right away.

Owns White- bread Water Company at Outlet. Donald Hanson (R) Box 266, Rd 1. H.L. There are problems no matter where you're at and out here we do have the sewerage problem like everybody else. I can’t say what specific problems there are because there are a lot of problems in all the communities So just like to get in there and’ (ry to help out as much as I could. Background: Resident of Harf@ys Lake since early 1930's. Attended Lake-Lehman High School for two years. Owns and operates Hanson’s Amuse- ment Park at Harveys Lake. Married; has four children. Francis D. Fisher (R) RD 1, Box 77F, H.L. The obvious problem of para- mount importance to the com- munity of Harveys Lake is the realization of a sanitary sewer system. Few opponents of a sewer system can now justify their argument from the posi- tion of not being necessary. All availfle information, based on scientific research, points to the unavoidable conclusion that the lake gs rapidly becoming unsafe for bithers as well as fish life. Second only to a sanitary system in importance to the: ; borough is the adequate control of storm water. It is hoped that information revealed in the sol- ution of the sanitary system can be put to dual use in controlling the many areas of the commun- ity which experience flooding during heavy rains usually as- sociated with the spring thaw. Background: Larksville native, has been a permanent resident of Harveys Lake. for eigh@ years. Graduated from ille High School, Kings College, and Rutgers Univer- sity. A teacher by profession, is employed at the present time as an qggineer by Addy Asphalt Company. Married with four children. Francis Fisher Arden Llewellyn (R) Pole 128, Box 279, Lakeside Dr., H.L. The primary problem here it seems it’s a Republican borough but we’ve had a lot of Democrats change over to Re- publicans. They come from other parts of the county and they’ve moved here and some way or other they took over. The people I've talked to here just aren’t satisfied; they . know there's something wrong but they can’t put their finger on all of this. I'm a Republican and I stand up for Republicans but I'm for everybody. The people here just can’t seem to get it through that: the government isn’t what they want that’s here. They’re bickering and fighting over every little drop of the handkerchief. Somebody has to step in and tell somebody where Candidates Discuss the to get off at, somebody that isn’t afraid and I'm not afraid of anyone. I've argued; my name’s been in the papers thou- sands of times but the beople still elected me so I figured maybe I could help them out here. Background: Attended Pitt- ston High School. Served for nine years as councilman in Forty Fort where headed street committee and served on police committee. President and former secretary of Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants’ Union, Local 137. Employed as pressman at Times-Leader newspaper. Arden Llewellyn David R. Price (R) RD 4, H.L. Just about all of our problems could be solved if these people would stop these delaying tactics. If they would sit down and work together—which is impossible because of one man—we could have a beautiful government out here. The big- gest problem is the lack of coop- eration between the members of council. Background: Graduate of Nanticoke High School, Mans- field State Teachers College, and Bucknell University. A teacher for 28 years, 24 of which were spent as physical educa- tion instructor, health and U.S. history teacher at Lake- Lehman High School. Married, with one daughter. A resident of Harveys Lake for 25 years. David R. Price Bernice Kocher (R) Box 286, RDI, H:L. The one and only problem we have here right now, the big thing, is sewage. We definitely have to have sewers; I just hope we go about it in the best possib- le way for everyone. The only way to go is to progress the way they're going. I hope we go in with the Back Mountain; I'm definitely in favor of this. There are many other things that should have been done long ago, but to numerate on them, well, I think we sort of got off on the wrong foot here. We do need a road program here, but with the sewers coming I think this has to be thought about awhile. Background: Native of Har- veys Lake. Graduate of Lake Township High School and Wyoming Seminary Dean’s School of Business. With hus- band owns and operates Kocher’s Market. Elected to two year term of office as coun- cilwoman when Harveys Lake Borough formed. Nesbitt Hummel (R) Rd 1, H.L. Robert D. Wintersteen (R) 265A, RD 1, H.L. The problem as I see them are lack of unity and harmony among council members. This gives the borough a poor image. There should be a promotion and development of the borough as an attraction, rather than a stink hole. Lack of sewers are causing one of the biggest prob- lems. It’s necessary to have a sewer system.” Qualifications: Has lived at Harveys Lake all his life—29 years—and owns amusement park property. Attended King- ston High School and Lock Haven State College. Is a member of Harveys Lake Lions Club, Daniel C. Roberts Fire Company and ambulance, and is assistant director of Luzerne County Soil and Water Conser- vation. Other activities include serving as secretary-treasurer of Luzerne County Beekeepers Association and board member of Pennsylvania State Beekeep- ers Association. Works as a con- struction electrician. Forrest C. Sorber (R) RD 1, HL. The biggest problem at the lake is sewage. A sewage program is long overdue—this program should have been started before because, as I understand, being it’s taken so long they lost money they could have gotten through HUD. Sewers are badly needed, not only because of the pollution to the lake, but ecologists have made studies of this and in years to come it’s a proven fact that it will pollute the fresh water supply if adequate sewage facilities all over aren’t put into effect. Background: 1951 graduate of Lake Township High School. Returned to Harveys Lake two years ago after serving as police officer in New Jersey. Is presently a truck driver. Married with three children. KINGSTON TOWNSHIP +Edward: -W.- Hall «(R) 113 N. Memorial Highway, Shaver- town The most serious problem we've had for years is water and sewers. We are getting somewhere with the sewers but as far as the water is concerned, this is still the problem. While a lot of people are upset about the sewers right now, I think they're going to be happy they’rein. As far as the water is concerned, that’s in the hands of the water commission and the last meeting they had they seemed to be making some pro- gress.

Widower; has one daughter. Jasper Kocher (R) RD 1, Noxen My first wishes would be to work for the benefit of the tax- payer, that would be my first thing to do. Our township finan- cially is in very bad shape right now and I would like to sit down after the election and count the pennies coming in and see how we can better use them. Our equipment is almost worn out and there’s no provision to buy any new, that’s another thing I would look into very much. I'd like to see more paved roads in Lake Township—we only have a very few miles of paved roads against the miles of dirt roads. Background: Born and raised in Lake Township. Employed by Sordoni Construction Co. for 25 years, is now superintendent of building. Attended Lake Town- ship High School. Married; no children. LEHMAN TOWNSHIP Frank E. Crossen (R ) RD 2, Hunlock Creek In a township you can’t achieve too much—only not to raise taxes. I'm qualified and experienced and am a conser- vative candidate—and I would try very hard not to raise taxes. I'd also work to improve the roads as much as I possibly can.

Gradu- ated from Bucknell University, with a degree in mechanical en- gineering. DALLAS BOROUGH Robert W. Brown (R) 40 Hickory Rd., Dallas I would like to sit down and go over the salaries of the road- men. You can’t pay starvation wages and then say to the guy ‘we’ll fire you if you don’t work all day.” This would go for the police, too; if they're under- paid, I think they should defin- itely be paid a living wage. I don’t say raise taxes to do this— I say, let’s go over the budget and shave wherever we can Robert W. Brown possibly shave; if there’s waste, then let’s get rid of the waste. My whole theme is ‘a friend and a voice’—when people have a complaint they’ll know who they can come to.

Life-time ‘resident of Dallas Borough, ed- ucated in borough school sys- ‘ DEDICATED Leonard D. Harvey Leonard D. Harvey (R) 21 Woodlawn Ave., Dallas The most important job a dis- trict magistrate has is seeing to it that the people get fair treat- ment by the court. In the days before the magisterial system was established J.P. often meant judgement for the plain- tiff’ —the police were almost always favored in any decision because many J.P.’s depended for their income on the number of cases brought to them by the police. Obviously, if they ruled against the police, the police would bring their cases to another Justice of the Peace. Background: Born in Harvey- ville, has resided in Dallas Borough for 50 years.
