pod Fred Lamoreaux, 66, pulled his cap down around his ears and shoved his hands deep into his jacket kets as he gazed toward trucks and machinery at the back of the township building. The sun was shining weakly and the temperature was a little higher than it had been over the weekend—but good, heavy work clothing helped to take the chill out of the air on this February morning. ‘Looks like it’s going to snow again,” said Phil Walter, who was working along with the older man on a temporary basis.

Road Complaints Are Not Valid Dallas Borough Council members and road crew workers have been swamped with complaints from area residents about the condition of Lake Street, East Center Hill Road and Church Street, reports Bill Berti, chairman of the council’s road committee. Inadequate snow removal has been the basis of most of the (complaints, Mr. Berti told the Post, and while the criticism may be jusitified, it should not be levelegy at the borough workers as the three thorough- fares in question are state roads. Complaints about the con- dition of these roads might more properly be directed to the Pennsylvania Department of bi i Greenstreet News For Wedding Stationery 675-5211 New in the neighborhood?

For Fred Lamoreaux, it was the last day of work as road- master of Dallas Township. Feb. 29 was the date—and if he didn’t want it to snow on his last day - on the job before retirement, that was a reasonable wish. After all, he had had to contend with hun- dreds of inches of snow during the 23 years he had served as roadmaster of his township’s road maintenance department. The roadmaster was’ ready and willing to retire after all those years. He planned to take it easy for awhile. “I used to be able to work all during the night plowing snow and think nothing of it,” was his comment to his fellow-worker, “but now those big trucks sure do give me a beating. That’s a rough ride.” he would be on call if he were needed. He will contiue ‘to serve Dallas Township, but in another capacity—as a member of the Board of Supervisors. He’s been at that job just as long as he’s been roadmaster, and for 19 of those years he headed the board as its chairman. He stepped down from the chairmanship a little over a year ago and Phil Walter took the post. The two friends, as well as another friend, Glenn Howell, have worked harmoniously together on the Supervisory board. Who will replace Mr. Lamoreaux as roadmaster? The position has not been permanently filled as yet. Reportedly, Phil Walter may accept it after his friend retires—but if Phil has that commitment in mind, he isn’t saying anything as yet. “I just hope I don’t forget myself and come in to work Wednesday morning,” was Mr. Lamoreaux’s parting remark.
