The Economic Development
Council of Northeastern Penn-
“sylvania—a nonprofit organiza-
tion to further economic,
physical and social develop-
ment in the counties of Carbon,
‘Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe,
Pike, Schuykill and Wayne—
announced this week the publi-
cation of a report on trends and
‘implications - for Northeastern
Pennsylvania, analyzing data
‘from the 1970 Census of Popula-
tion and Housing. The report,
titled ‘‘Where the People Are,”
identifies the fact that 1970 pop-
ulation for the seven counties
was 873,891, which represented
a significant reversal of the
former downward trend of pop-
ulation within the region.
The report highlights the
.shifts and changes which occur-
red within Northeastern Penn-
sylvgmia between 1960 and 1970.
For¥xample, the 1970 density of
persons per square mile for the
_seven-county region was 197.4,
- with Monroe County leading the
‘way in density increase from
164.7 in 1960 to 74.3 in 1970.
Some highlights of the report
‘include:
The Pocono Mountain coun-
‘ties experienced relatively
large population increases over
‘the decade, largely attributable
ito growth in the recreation and
tourism sector, including
second-home development.
While the population of the
formerly mining-oriented
counties of Lackawanna,
Luzerne and Schuykill declined,
the loss was significantly less
than previous decades.
The density of population
ranged from 21.8 in Pike County
to 515.5 in Lackawanna County.
Population continued to be
clustered in the former mining
communities of the Wyoming
and Lackawanna Valleys of
Luzerne and Lackawanna
Counties.
Movement to the suburbs
within the seven-county area
was extensive throughout the
Region, somewhat behind
trends in other parts of the
country.
Howard J. Grossman, execu-
tive director of the council,
noted that ‘‘the municipalities
which declined in population
are the older communities
which have been the centers of
retail trade and other economic
activity for many years. Urban
renewal ‘displaced a number of
persons from the major centers
during the ten-year period.
Growth has taken place in the
bedroom communities and in
formerly undeveloped sectors
of the counties. Migration to the

: Population Growth Study
suburbs occurred earlier in
other parts of the country; it
was significant in Northeastern
Pennsylvania in the Sixties and
now carries implications for the
seventies. Careful attention
must be given to providing
public facilities and services in
these newly developed areas. In
addition, the central areas must
not be overlooked lest they be-
come victims of ‘urban blight.’
The geographic shifting of the
tax base, as well as that of the
need for services, which follows
population shifts, requires the
attention of all those in a posi-
tion to affect local public policy
and delivery of services.”
The report is the first of a
series which the council will
publish in coming months and
years as new information is re-
ceived from the U.S. Bureau of
the Census on population,
housing and employment
characteristics. Copies of the
report are available from the
council office by writing to P.O.

Walters Charged with
Property Conversion
Followinga search of the home
of Lois Walters, Rd 1, Briar-
crest Road, Dallas, by Lehman
Township Police Chief Lionel
Bulford and T. Joseph Boyle,
owner of the house, Mrs. Wal-
ters was charged with fraudu-
lent conversion of property.
The charge, filed with District
Magistrate Leonard D. Harvey
by Chief Bulford, relates that 17
display units of steak knife sets
valued at $50 and belonging to
Boyle were found in Mrs.
Walters’ home.
According to Boyle, the steak
knife sets had been shipped to
him but had been delivered to
the Walters’ by mistake. Mrs.
Walters, a tenant in the Boyle
home, denied that they were in
her possession, but a search of
the house revealed that they
were in fact there.
Bail in the amount of $5,000
was posted by Joseph Park on
behalf of Mrs. Walters. A
hearing was scheduled by
Magistrate Harvey for Thurs-
day night.

Nicholas Leigh Opens
Exclusive Retail Outlet
As he directed attention to the
racks of men’s pants, Mark
Edmunds, "sales manager of
Nicholas Leigh Inc., told how
the new shop came to be opened
in the Back Mountain.
‘The company creates pants
which appeal to certain tastes
and economic levels. Basically
we are a pants creator,” was his
comment as he pointed out the
great range of materials and
colors of pants in the showroom.
We have accounts
throughout the United States—
in every major city and in most
major stores. However, this
shop is the only retail store that
the company itself operates—
and this is used primarily as a
showcase for our pants.”
Fortunately, Back Mountain
males may buy at the new shop
at a discount of 30 to 40 percent.
Suggested retail prices in other
stores start at $45 to $85.
The local shop is located on
Memorial Highway, adjacent to
Forty Fort Dairy Bar. The
white two-story building, a
former residence, has a red
carpet on the porch, leading a
potential customer into an
attractive showroom. Here, not
only pants, but also ties and

handmade needlepoint belts,
may be purchased. The com-
pany’s ties and belts are sold in
this shop only.
There are pants of French
and Belgian velours, Italian
wools, tapestries, double knits,
and many other materials.
‘The majority of our fabri-
cation is imported,” added the
young sales manager. ‘The
president’s sister, Leigh Day,
selects materials for our pants
and ties. She has an uncanny
ability to pick trends.”
Wherever Nicholas Leigh
pants are sold (and the nearest
outlet, other than the Back
Mountain shop, is in Philadel-
phia) the firm’s originators re-
alize they are creating for a
mini-market, ‘ and their philo-
sophy is to remain ‘‘small.”
But our success has en-
couraged us enough to make us
believe that we are hitting a
market that has not been tapped
before,” stated Mr. Edmunds,
who admitted that their
customers are a special type.
‘We cut pants in the tens, not in
the thousands. And so
“customers take little chance of
running into someone wearing
the same pants as they do.”
The Back Mountain shop
opened in mid-November,
although the company itself has
been operating about 13 months.
Already their products have
been used in advertising layouts
in such magazines as
Playboy’ and other slick
publications. A New York City
showroom is used for the
convenience of buyers for stores
around the country.
"We design two collections a
year—in the fall and spring,”
the sales manager reported,
‘but on occasion, if we find
something unique or unusual,
we have it made up then and
there.” :
The pants are designed by
Nicholas Leigh Inc., but are
manufactured by a firm in Old
Forge.
