Kozemchak Sr. El < a “Code,” the Channel 44 crime prevention television project funded by the governor’s Jus- tice Commission, will have its premiere on WVIA April 3, at 7:30 p.m. Directed to the 10 to 13-year- old audience, the 52-week half- hour series deals in codes, prin- ciples and laws in today’s society, and the rights and responsibilities of these young- sters. The series format makes liberal use of film, slides and other visual aids photographed in Northeastern Pennsylvania to stimulate interest and con- cern in the topics to be discus- sed. The discussions will be by a panel of three or four students from area schools and an authority on the various sub- jects. Among other matters, the series hopefully will help youngsters to build better at- titudes, values, self-respect, and respect for others and their role in society. The Channel 44 public affairs production of “Code’’ is headed by producer-writer Carol Whit- aker, who is also the moderator. The weekly series, which will be seen Mondays at 7:30 p.m., Wednesdays at noon, and Satur- days at 3 p.m., has been in the planning stage since last No- vember when the Justice Com- mission—through its Northeast Regional Planning Council— awarded a $94,000 grant to Channel 44 to produce the con- tinuing crime prevention and your” will love, You for it! public education series. The money is channeled through states and the commission by the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Street Act of 1968. As a re- quired matching grant, Channel 44 is providing $31,490 in 'ser- vices. Lackawanna County Judge Richard Conaboy, vice chair- man of the Regional Planning Council, said, ‘‘The program will be aimed mainly at the edu- cation of young people in an effort to instruct them and to in- still in them respect for them- selves, their neighbors and society in general.’’ Many of the topics will be derived from “Youth, Law and Life,” a text- book developed for the Justice Commission by the Wyoming Area School District. “Code” will be available without charge to any other non- commerical or commercial TV station or network, according to station manager George H. Strimel Jr. Ak Salad, and Bev. $1.75 $1.75 Pie 3 Dallas Borough «Council unanimously agreed at its support a resolution proposed by . the Commonwealth’s Association of Boroughs which endorses one home rule bill and which was sanctioned by council, permits the chartering of boroughs and townships and permits them to provide any services not disallowed by the State. House Bill 1444 specifies that counties would become the basic units of local government and, in Mayor Stephen Hart- man’s opinion, would obviate the need for boroughs. According to borough Solicitor Charles D. Lemmond, House Bill 1444 is favored by the Department of Community Affairs which ‘‘sees this as a shot at making communities larger.” Councilman Harold Brobst observed that ‘‘we have all had experience with county govern- ment and realize that it’s not the best—I think we should vote to keep borough government.” In other business, an anti- noise ordinance was submitted for council’s consideration by Councilman Robert W. Brown, who urged its adoption. Borough President George Thomas took exception to several of the more stringent portions of the ordinance and stated that he did not want to see Dallas become ‘‘a police state.” “Now wait just a minute,” Brown objected, ‘‘don’t go room action is. calling this a ‘police state’ ordinance—we don’t have anything like it on the books and I think we need it.” Council agreed to study the ordinance at a special meeting March 28. Calling Dallas Borough ‘‘a jewel in the Back Mountain community,”” Robert Laux urged council not to permit multiple dwellings in strictly residential areas. Charging that such multiple dwellings will adversely affect future real estate values. Mr. Laux advised council to ‘‘stick with single owner, owner-occupied dwellings.” Mr. Laux, who himself owns an apartment house on Machell Avenue, appeared before council to oppose a rumored application for a two-story apartment in the vicinity of application.
