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.

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.

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.

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

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,

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

cilwoman when Harveys Lake

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-

vation. Other activities include

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.

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.

“A careful stewardship of

House. 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.
Background: Attended Leh-
man Township High School. A
life-long resident of Lehman

perience with Pennsylvania De-

man Township. Widower; has
three daughters.

William Samuel (R) RD 2, Hun-
lock Creek
“I think a municipal building
is needed badly. Equipment
should be protected. The town-
ship owns a good deal of its own
equipment, such as trucks and
snow plows, and this valuable
equipment needs good storage
area.”
Background: Retired in 1955,
and can devote considerable
time to municipality business
and operations. Has served as a
supervisor for past nine years,
but comments that he is “still
learning.” Lived in Lehman

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.

Robert W. Parry (R) 50 Monroe
Ave., Dallas
“The problem that concerns
me is getting borough roads
back in A-1 condition when the
sewers are completed. The
sewer construction companies
are supposed to restore them,
and I would not like to see the
borough have any of this ex-
pense. As chairman of the
borough finance committee, I
really try to operate the
borough as a business.”

housing for the elderly. With
added burdens of sewer assess-
ments and other expenses, it is
hard for persons with fixed
incomes. Funds are available
for housing. It won’t be done
next spring, but we can do it.”

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.
Graduated from Dallas
Borough High School: has at-
tended many State-sponsored
criminal and civil training
courses at Wilkes-College.
Served as Justice of the Peace
