Begins Recreation Program Dallas Borough begins its re- creation program April 25 at the recreation area on Luzerne Avenue and Burndale Road. The area will be under the supervision of Alan Fox from 11 am. until 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday every week. x Ne Prison Jaycees (continued from PAGE ONE) Superintendent Leonard Mack urged the men to “bother me with your programs. I won’t approve them all--but I'll be up- set if you don’t submit many of them for my consideration.” With obvious pride Mr. Mack concluded: ‘‘You Centurions have justified all the faith I ve had in you. The charter is drawn up and the by-laws have been written--and now the work really begins.” Master of ceremonies for the charter night program was John Tokar, a director of the Centurions. Entertainment was provided by a clever comedian named ‘‘Lollipop’’ and by several very talented musicians-—-including Charles Adderly, a flutist whose rendi- tion of ‘“‘Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone’ surpassed any- thing customarily offered inside or outside prison walls. If the enthusiasm which was evident during the charter night reception. is ;any, indication of the success the Centurion Jaycees may anticipate, there were few guests present Sunday night who would not agree that the newest chapter has before it a bright and shining future. Art Students To Fire Raku College Misericordia cer- amics students will practice the ancient Japanese pottery art of Raku this Sunday when they construct the Kiln and fire earthenware pieces using the centuries-old technique. An annual event at College Misericordia for art students, the Raku firing is under the direction of Martha Proud Kaleshefski, assistant professor of Art. The process will consist of constructing a special brick kiln without using mortar and firing it to a red hot temperature. As the kiln glows, earthenware pieces will be placed into it and allowed to stand until the glaze melts and fuses with the ware. At that point, the student must decide upon the final ef- fect she wants to achieve. As the piece is removed from the Kiln, it may be air-cooled, plunged into water, or placed in a container of sawdust and wood chips which immediately ignite. Each process affects the final color of the piece differently. Raku originally was used by the Japanese in the creation of ceremonial tea bowls. Re- garded as both a technique and a philosophy, Raku stresses the acceptance and veneration of the imperfect, the asymme- trical. Currently, the process is used for any pottery in which the potter wishes to achieve a naturalness of form and color modulation. The firing will be held on campus at College Misericordia at 10 Sunday morning. Interest- ed persons are invited to attend. The Early Bird Gets the Space!

Laing Fire Com- Bus Driver (continued from PAGE ONE) The bus driver, whose wife reported that he was ‘‘quite shook up” by the incident, managed to get his attacker off the bus and assisted Mrs. 0’Connell and her son in getting onto the bus. Mrs. Bates reports that her husband was also concerned for the welfare of his passengers, approximately 10 school children who had become alarmed by the goings-on. Mr. Bates was treated for injuries at the Rural Health Clinic at Noxen and filed an assault and battery charge against Miss Milton at the office of District Magistrate Leonard D. Harvey following the in- cident. A report that Miss Milton, who was lodged at the Lake Side Hotel at Harveys Lake, had been committed to Retreat State Hospital could not be verified. < Talks Stall (continued from PAGE ONE) gotiations, Mr. Riegel said. After that, the parties may con- tinue to bargain or the teachers may, under the provisions of Act 195, choose to strike. Will it come to that in Lake- Lehman? “I believe the media- tor will resolve the impasse,” the teachers’ chief negotiator opined. “I’m continually opti- mistic.” Wine is Popular California produces about 75 percent of all wines emjoyed in this country, and Americans know they receive value and full measure. California ‘fifth’ size bottles by law contain 25.6 ounces, but foreign bottles which appear to be ‘‘fifths’’ usu- ally hold only 23 or 24 ounces. This means that it takes about 13 foreign bottles to equal in vol- ume a regular 12-bottle case of California wine. Walter Davis, John as master of ceremonies. pany, Dallas, responded to the chief’s plea, as did others. They were looking for a curly brown- haired tyke, dressed in a brown jacket and brown pants, wearing socks but no shoes. What Mike Goldsmith of Trucksville fire department discovered at 11:40 a.m. was a composed little boy, in good condition, sans his jacket, holding one of his ‘‘clodhopper”’ shoes in one hand and a slipper of his in the other hand. He had carried the foot coverings from his home. Timmy related that when he got tired of walking he sat down or laid down on the ground. Mr. Goldsmith, who has helped in other searches for missing persons, has the nick- name of ‘Indian tracker of Trucksville.”” The nickname seems appropriate. Searchers helping in the hunt for Timmy were Jim Davies, S. Smith and M. Hislop of the Dallas unit, Kim Kozenchak, girls of the Rondinella family, members of the Trucksville fire company, and others. Chief Titus said that in the ex- citement engendered by the search he failed to get all volun- teers’ names. ‘“Iwant to thank all those who assisted in the quest for Timothy,” the chief stated. “This was a good example of neighbor helping neighbor and community helping community. The response was tremendous.”’ Area Students On Dean's List George W.
