Road conditions, road repairs and road responsibilities were the primary subjects discussed at a meeting of the Lehman Township Board of Supervisors April 17, Towif@gip Supervisors Alan Major, Bruce Spencer, and Joseph Parks; Solicitor William Valentine and secretary, Louis Ide, attended this meeting where many varied complaints about roadways were aired. A group of Town and Country Manor residents were informed by Mr. Major that their road- way would not be incorporated into Lehman Township until a three foot burm of modified gravel tapering off to the ditch line is installed. It will also be necessary to cut a half moon culvert where the road meets the statayoad and to blacktop the dite¥®*which descends from the top of the hill. A report by Louis Ide from Calahan Engineering, a sur- veying firm retained by the Supervisors, stated that the roadway adjacent to Jigger Jones Tavern was survyed and determined to be of 50 foot width. The purpose of this sur- vey was to clearly define this public roadway, which occas- sionally has its access blocked by parked cars of tavern consideration will be given to the posting of ‘no parking’ signs on one side of the road and that if necessary, township police would enforce this regulation. Joseph Chickson of Lake Silk- worth presented a petition signed by property owners on Metropolitan Avenue, Lake Silkworth, requesting that the township assume responsibility for their road. Alan Major in- formed Mr. Chickson that there The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency has announced that a minimum score oo on the Scholastic Aptitude’ Test of the College Entrance Examination Board has been eliminated as an eligibility requirement for state scholarship applicants. The decision was made by the board of directors at their meeting March 23 and was based upon studies made by the PHEAA staff over the past years. Kenneth R. Reeher, executive director of PHEAA, stated that Pony Club Sets Show A special meeting of the Wyoming Halley Pony Club will be held Ay#il 20 at 8 p.m. at the Forty Fort V.F.W., Wyoming Avenue, Forty Fort. The purpose of the meeting is to plan the horse show to be held June 1) at Highland Acres Equest! Center, Dallas. Sponsors for the show are needed desperately. Anyone willing to sponsor can contact any one of the club officers. They are Jack Carey, Schuylar Avenue, Kingston, president; Art Kingston, Courtdale, vice president; Mrs. Asa Atherholt, West Wyoming, secretary; and Joe Shymanski, Hamilton Street, West Wyoming, treasurer. The show will be an open show, including horses this year. Leave Firewood Outside Until Time to Burn It—Insects may hibernate in your wood pile during winter months. When these pests are carried into the house along with wood that is not burged immediately the warm Was makes them think its spring. Controlling these pests while the firewood is stored outside usually is not practical, say Extension entomologists at The Pennsylvania State University. It is best to keep wood outside until rigg/dy to burn it. those students who had applied for state scholarship assistance and had been notified of their potential ineligibility because of the requirement of an 800 SAT score would now be advised that they are eligible for scholarship consideration if they have “financial need” and meet all other eligibility criteria. They will not need to file a new ap- plication. Mr. Reeher stated that the elimination of the SAT score requirement by the board does not lower the standards for state scholarship recipients because the applicant must be accepted by a college approved for the scholarship program prior to receiving an award. Many institutions, and par- ticularly community colleges, missions and placement and are basing their admissions on high school records and other ac- complishments. More and more students with acceptable high school records. whose combined SAT scores happen to and are successful in college. PHEAA studies which com- pared applicants below the 800 test score with those attaining high scores were analyzed to determine their ability to succeed. Staff studies indicate that there was no significant difference in the terms of ac- ceptable performance in college between those having SAT scores above the 800 as com- lesser scores. Reeher stressed that the admissions criteria of specific institutions is a far better measure of a student’s ability to be successful than the Agency’s former requirement of attaining the 800 SAT score. The elimination of the 800 SAT does not extend eligibility to part-time students or those enrolled in non-credit remedial programs. Aid for these students will require legislation not covered under the existing scholarship program. The board of directors also extended to May 31, 1972, the filing deadline date for 1972 high school graduates who will enter degree programs. = y Johnson's Foot Soap Soaks ———— JoHNSONS Foor §o ; Away wonton tsormsers 3 FOOL 9 rr ope isery!

The purpose of the meeting was to hear the views on county fairs presented by the Secretary of Agriculture of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania the Hon. James A. McHale. The Dallas Area Fall Fair, which is sponsored by the three service clubs, will in the coming years be aided by the Dept. of Agriculture. Secretary McHale pointed out ways and means of cooperation between the Dept. of Agricul- ture and the local fair. He also gave interesting highlights on the current milk controversy, citing the fact that the dif- ference between what the farmer receives for his milk and what the consumer pays is in'the neighborhood of a $.50 a gallon mark up. It appeared from his remarks that the sec- retary sides with the farmer and the consumer. George Toman and Lloyd Mowrer, members of the secre- tary’s staff, were also helpful with their suggestions to the local gruup in the solution of problems relative to the con- duct of the fair. The ninth annual Dallas Area Fair will be held at the Lehman Horse Show Grounds Sept. 8, 9 and 10. Francis L. Ambrose, president of the Fair Association, presided, Daniel Chapman, treasurer of the fair, introduced Sec. McHale, James Nocito, member of Pittston Kiwanis, gave a humourous presentation which was well received. Leo Corbett, vice president of the fair, gave some novel ideas for the coming fair. George Nichols, chairman of the 1972 fair was unable to at- tend due to illness. Invocation was given by Rev. William Bispels; Benediction was spoken by Father Thomas Jordan.
