Dangerous Drugs, Narcotics
- A Greenstreet News Co. Publication
THE DALLAS POST, SEPT. 30, 1971
Displayed in Back Mountain
Dangerous drugs and nar-
cotics were displayed Friday at
Wyoming National Bank,
Shavertown. The two extensive
collections of drugs were shown
through the cooperation of State
Police of Wyoming Barracks _
and the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Narcotics Squad.
The display was sponsored by
Kingston Township police
through the efforts of Police
Chief Herbert Updyke and
Patrolman William Pugh.
Officer Pugh is also a member
of the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Narcotics Squad, and was in
attendance at the display
throughout the day to answer
questions and explain items in
the collections.
Patrolman Pugh said the
display has been shown to the
public twice only, and both
times were
Mountain area.
All displayed drugs and their
related parapherrnalia [had
previously been confiscated by
either the State Police or the
Narcotics Squad.
Hard drugs, such as opium,
hashish, heroin and cocaine,
were included, as well as
hallucinogens such as LSD and
mescaline. There was a quanity
of loose marijuana or ‘‘grass’’,
shown in a large plastic bag, as
well as ‘‘joints”’ of marijuana
ready for smoking. For those
who did not know what
marijuana looks like in its
growing stage, there was a
large artificial plant, which was
an exact duplicate of a real
plant.
Perhaps to the surprise of
some, prominently displayed in
in the Back
the ‘‘dangerous drugs’ section
were diet pills, amphetamine or
pep pills, and barbituates.
“Too many people have these
three types in their medicine
cabinets and don’t realize they
are truly ‘dangerous drugs’,”
Officer Pugh pointed out.
Among the confiscated
paraphernalia used: for
“mainlining’’ heroin were a
bent spoon and soda bottle cap,
used to heat and liquefy the
drug, several types of syringes,
and various kinds of materials
used as tourniquets.
“Mainlining”’, Mr. Pugh ex-
plained, ‘is the procedure by
which a heroin addict injects
the drug directly into his body.”
There are a number of signs
by which parents can possibly
detect if their children are
experimenting with drugs,

24-Hr. Answering Service
Dallas Borough residents will
continue to enjoy the 24-hour
police answering service
provided by Dallas Township,
thanks to action Sept. 21 by
Dallas Borough Council.
Ci®ncil, acting on a motion by
Police Committee Chairman
William Berti, agreed to accept
they answering service and
poli¥e assistance contract of-
fered by the township for $2,000
annually.
In making the motion, Berti
alluded to a ‘long range plan’
currently under study by the
township which will apparently
provide more police protection
for borough residents.
A report that the police
cruiser traveled over 3,000
miles in August elicited a
request from Councilman Jerry
Machell to ‘‘see about cutting
down. on this mileage.” Berti
pointed out that the mileage had
been reduced already, but that
he auld discuss this and other
matters with borough police
officers at a meeting Monday
night.
abe proper ownership of
Wellington Avenue, an issue
about which considerable
confusion has existed for
several months, was again
discussed by council. Solicitor
Charles D. Lemmond Jr. ad-
vised council to ascertain what
property is included in a deed
tendered the borough by Weis
Market so that acceptance of
the street can be completed and
the deed properly recorded. Leo
Corbett, borough engineer, will
be asked to study the road in
question.
uncil approved a request
from Dr. Anthony P. Sindoni,
podiatrist, to establish
professional offices at his newly
purchased home located at the
caer of Spring Street and
Not'ton Avenue. Dr. and Mrs.

Atty. Ben Jones III.
John D. Brewster appeared
before council to complain of
the recently installed street
light on Terrace Street. Ac-
cording to Mr. Brewster, the
7,000 watt vapor light casts a
disturbingly bright light into
several rooms of his home.
Machell, observing that the
street light had been requested
by other local residents, agreed
to investigate the possibility of
obtaining a shield for the light.
The maintenance of a high-
way ‘‘island’’ at the intersection
of Routes 309 and 415 was
discussed by council. The
island—formerly an unkempt,
raggle-taggle portion of land—
was trimmed and planted by
Boy Scout Brett Slcoum.

Council suggested that mem-
bers of Brett's Boy Scout troop
might also assume main-
tenance of the property.
Councilmen planned to meet
Monday night to review
borough laws which will be
included in a new borough code.
Solicitor Lemmond promised
that the review would be ‘‘time
well spent; the codification
project—undertaken several
months ago by General Code
Publishers Inc.—has been at a
standstill for some time.
The need for a water supply at
the borough’s recreation site at
Burndale Road and Luzerne
Avenue was raised by Machell.
He agreed to check with the
water company to determine
costs for the installation of
water lines and a hydrant there.

according to Narcotics Officer
Pugh. Common symptoms of
drug abuse are: changes in
school attendance, discipline
and grades, change in the
character of homework turned
in, unusual flare-ups or out-
breaks of temper, poor physical
appearance, furtive behavior
regarding drugs and
possessions, wearing of
sunglasses at inappropriate
times to hide dilated or con-
stricted pupils, long-sleeved
shirts worn constantly to hide
needle marks, association with
known drug abusers, borrowing
of money from students to
purchase drugs, stealing small
items from schools, finding the
student in odd places during the
day such as closets, storage
rooms, etc., to take drugs.
“If parents find an unfamiliar
drug in their home, they may
call me for help in identifica-
tion. I know most of the usual
forms, but if I need help in
identifying, I can call on the
State Police laboratory,” ex-
plained the Back Mountain
officer. He continued by saying
that parents need not identify
themselves ‘to him—they may
remain completely anonymous.
“We want to get the pusher,
the real culprit, in drug cases.
We're interested in getting the
suppliers rather than arresting
the occassional users.”
Trooper Carl Allen of
Wyoming Barracks was on
hand also at the bank.
