A Dallas Post photographer recalled that at approximately the same time on the previous day, several youngsters were frolicking in the very area of the Plunge creek into which the truck plunged. Willard Bidding, 22, of 79 Wilson St., Larksville, was operator of the truck which was owned by John Connolly and Sons, 460 Union St., Luzerne. He was traveling south on the Hill- side-Huntsville Road near Norris Glen and told police that afront tire blew, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. Jackson Township Police Chief Robert Cooper inves- tigated the mishap. Development Council Elects John Hibbard John B. Hibbard, president of Commonwealth Telephone Co., was re-elected president of the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania at the annual reorganization meeting June 9 at the Treadway Inn of Wilkes-Barre. Officers elected to serve with Mr. Hibbard are Asa. L. Day Jr., vice president; Stuart Pipher, secretary; and Dr. Eugene S. Farley, treasurer. Mr. Day is manager of Keystone Coca-Cola Bottling Co.; Pipher is manager of Chase Wholesale Electric Co., and Dr. Farley is chancellor of Wilkes College. Those from Luzerne County who were re-elected to the Board of Directors include Donald J. Allan, . John Chaplinsky, Richard Demmy, Henry DePolo, Rulison Evans, Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Louis G. Feldmann, Esq., John B. Hib- bard, Thomas H. Kiley, Com- missioner Ethel Price, Joseph Ritts, Louis Shaffer, Esq., Thomas P. Shelburne, Jack Simpson, A. Dewitt Smith, Commissioner Edmund C. Wideman Jr., Thomas B. Williams, and Frank L. Willis. Newly elected board mem- bers include Robert Gicking, Arthur Krause, and William - Pack. A. DeWitt Smith, Com- missioner Edmund C, Wideman Jr., and Frank L. Willis were also elected to serve on the executive committee.

This budget in- cludes many programs which Hibbard described as being “new or in various stages toward completion.” The Human Resources Develop- ment program, Graduate Education program and the Regional Housing program were a few of those noted. In his remarks, Mr. Hibbard described the highlights of EDCNP for 1970-71. These in- cluded the New Communities study, the Regional Distribution Complexes study and the designation of the council as the Project Notification and Review Agency for North- eastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Hibbard also reviewed major activities such as the published reports: ‘‘The Economic Impact of Ski Areas in Northeastern Pennsylvania, 1969-70 Season,” ‘‘Rapid Housing for Northeastern Pennsylvania,” ‘‘Manufactur- ing Growth and the Economy of Northeastern Pennsylvania,” and “Youth Wants to Stay.”” He mentioned the two industrial development workshops held and described the work which is underway . to establish a Regional Census Tape Processing Service to increase census. data availability at a “feasible cost for agencies in the Region,”” and the $6.5 million in Appalachia funds brought into the region since January, 1970. In closing Mr. Hibbard discussed what the council considers to be the ‘‘challenges of 1971-72,” stating that “New challenges are arising and neglected opportunities present an exciting work program.” ‘‘challenges”’ include, according to Mr. Hibbard: ‘strengthening the acquisition and protection of open space and related natural and historical features for public use, more use of the Neighborhood Assistance Act, innovative use of the region's financial community, and the proper orchestration of private initiative and public support in a properly planned and developed new community. “We have shown a capacity for regional team operation with active participation by city dweller and country resident, by citizens’ groups and chambers of commerce, by business and labor, and by all .units of government. We are in an excellent position to meet the challenges ahead in North- eastern Pennsylvania, and we will meet them.!” Pastoral Scene Conjured At New Moon Lake by Jane Wildoner (Editor’s note: This is the concluding portion of a three- part series dealing with the history of the areas surrounding . what is now Moon Lake Park.) Burglars Enter Mobile Home A case of breaking and en- tering was discovered Monday " morning in a new mobile home at the trailer sales lot of Howard and Elwood Whitesell, Route, 415, Harveys Lake Highway. Person(s) unknown entered the last trailer in a row and carried away two black lamps, a picture, and a wooden jewelry box. Police Chief Herbert Updyke of Back Mountain Police Department said there were no visible signs of forced entry and it was possible a key could have been used to enter the mobile unit. Exact time of entry was unknown, but the burglary was discovered by Kenneth Dymond early Monday morning. Library Board - (continued from PAGE ONE) Library board of directors, and are to be “specifically used for perpetuating the annual auc- tion.” The Library Auction, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, must move next year from the traditional auction grounds at Lehman Avenue in Dallas. Mr. Eckman suggests that a possible use for a portion of the money may be the purchase of temporary buildings or trailer vans for the storage of auction goods which have traditionally been stored in the auction barn. The Rotary Club president hastens to add, however, that any decision about use of the funds must be made by the library’s board of directors. “We believe that this action truly personifies the Credo of Dallas and other Rotary Clubs,” concludes Mr. Eckman, ‘“‘a Credo which advocates ‘Service to the Commumity, and Service above self.” ” Cross Valley (continued from PAGE ONE) Daniel J. Flood, it stated in part: “On November 13, 1969, Federal Highway Administra- tion approval was given to the design of the project and the state proceeded with acquisi- tion of plans...Design approval was given only after public hearings had been duly held in accordance with Federal law and Federal Highway Adminis- tration procedures, and only after the necessary finding had been made that the project was based on a continuing compre- hensive process carried on by the state and local commun- ities, as required by 23 U.S.C. 134.” The North Cross-Valley Expressway was designed to alleviate traffic congestion through central areas of Wyoming Valley. The proposed link would run from Interstate 81, back of the VA Hospital, westerly to Route 309 at Pringle and Luzerne. As a part of the expressway, a new bridge would lie across the Susque- hanna River. A PRIVATE SALE A Private Sale will be conducted by BRIAN- WOOD SALES SERVICE, of Ithaca, New York, to settle the estate of the late MRS. NATHANIEL COWDRY, at her former home on Carbondale Road, WAVERLY, PA. on Wednesday June 30, 1971, from 3 P.M. till 7 P.M. and on Thursday July 1, 1971 from 3 P.M. till 6 P.M. and that evening from 7 P.M. till 9 P.M. Detailed listing of this excellent sale will be announced prior to the sale. Brianwood Sales Service : 409 West State Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Imagine, if you can, as you travel the main access road to Moon Lake Park from its Hartman Road entrance at Five Forks, that it is the year 1900 instead of 1971. Instead of the new smooth roadway you're traveling on, it’s dry, powdery dust of slick, slippery mud rutted by wagon wheels. About three quarters or perhaps a full mile from either end, instead of the handsome main entrance laid up out of natural fieldstone and the attractive park office just beyond, you enter a dusty lane leading from the equally dusty road up to the bustling Decker farm. Perhaps you’ll meet one of the hands on his way out, driving a team and wagon loaded with grain to be ground at Cease’s Grist Mill at Ceasetown. Or maybe someone is going down to “the Creek” (Hunlock Creek) with horse and buggy to pick up a railway passenger due to arrive at the depot. Perhaps he’ll pick up a few ‘‘knick- knacks and scarcities”’ from Croop’s Store for the ladies of the farmstead. He shakes his head and waves acknowledge- ment at the inevitable remin- der, “Don’t forget to pick up the mail!’ He nods a greeting in your direction, squirts a stream of tobacco juice over the far front wheel, slaps the reins and yells: “Giddap!”’ Instead of the smells of barbecuing hot dogs and hamburgs, the scents of wild strawberries and apple blossoms are wafted over the stonewalls. Nearing the house, the smell of freshly baked bread emanates from the doorway of ' the summer kitchen and heat shimmers from its chimney. The pump handle squeaks and water splashes in the wooden sink. Buttermilk still stands in PAGE FIFTEEN Park the churn on the shady porch and a few new glasses of straw- berry jam peek over the win- dow-sill. Mealtime preparations * are in progress—it won’t be long till the dinner bell calls the men from the fields. (Don’t worry you’ll be welcomed to the table, too!) A hen cackles in the hen house, signalling she’s done her day’s work, and another clucks to her brood of chicks in the dust under an apple tree. This was a real working farm with several year-round hands and girls to help with the multitudinous chores. Nothing automatic except muscles and nerves accustomed to oft-repeated work patterns. After using up so much get-up-and-go just doing their regular day’s work, where did these hardy souls find enough energy to attend the bees, spells, huskings, raisings, and drummings they often held? Oh, well, there was always Sloan’s Liniment for the aches and pains of over-indulgence and, if that didn’t work, that new young Doctor Brown out at Lehman Center was said to be pretty good. Hear about him? They say he was so short that a contemporary friend and saw- mill man named Warren McKeel was supposed to have built him a low bench to stand on while at the operating table! He may have been short in stature, but in quite a few grateful folks’ eyes in a far- reaching area, he loomed as nothing short of a giant as a miracle worker—their very own country doctor, ‘‘Doc’”’ Brown. However you feel about Moon Lake's supposedly murky waters, and whether or not you approved of the tax monies spent for the park, it’s there and it’s yours. Enjoy it.
