ERE ir A building permit request which would, if granted, allow the construction of 11 apart- ments in the Old Brickel Barn on $kain Street, Dallas, was submitted to Dallas Borough Council at its regular meeting May 16 by Building Inspector Richard H. Disque. Mr. Disque, who told the Post that he had denied the ap- plication because it does not conform to the borough’s zoning code, reported that the applica- tion had been submitted to him by Leonard Weinberg, a de- veloper who resides in Drums. According to Mr. Disque, the barn—which presently houses The Whipple Tree, an antiques shop—is located in a commer- cial zone and fire zone. Exten- sive remodeling of the barn would be necessary to insure conformity to the community’s fire laws, Mr. Disque stated, and the zoning ordinance permits no more than four apartments in a two story building. The Greenstreet News Co., which publishes the Dallas Post, received two Keystone Press Awards at the Pennsyl- vania Newspaper Publishers Association annual news con- vention last weekend. Eric Mayer, Dallas Post columnist and resident of the Back Mountain area won second place honors in the statewide competition for his editor@! column entitled The Nasa Y®¥apers. J. R. Freeman and William Scranton 3rd were awarded joint first place honors for their series of exposes on Robert Bomersbach, a Clarks Summit promoter who was re- cently sentenced to one to five years on charges of fraud. The three-part series, which ran in the Abington Journal, consisted of 5,000 words dealing with Mr. Bomersbach’s background and questionable business prac- tices. One judge called the series ‘‘a really first class piece of research and reporting.” This year’s PNPA news awards competition drew over 2,300 entries from throughout Pennsylvania as well as Mary- land, Delaware, and New Jersey. The competition is the largest of its kind in the nation.

Work on ..Pockets Are Important-- Because children play outside more during spring and sum- mer gaonths, they're more likely Yo find treasures to store in their pockets. Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension clothing specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, reminds you that when you're sorting the family laundry, be sure to pick your children’s pockets. When sent through the washing machine, sharp-edged objects, such as nails, rocks or bottle caps, can tear your laundry. Dryer dried crayons usually cause permanent stains. And paper, especially facial tissue, shreds and clings to everything. the refreshment booth is nearing completion. An additional gift of $313.10 has been received by the Library from the Dallas Senior Women’s Club. The board ex- pressed its appreciation for both of these generous gifts. Sue Davern, in the librarian’s report, announced that the June 7 story hour will conclude the story hour series for this season. Beginning June 21, films will be shown every two weeks through the summer months to children from 3 to 10 years of age. The regular story April had increased by 500 over the same month last year. The Senior Citizens Associa- tion under the leadership of John Roehm has volunteered to take charge of receiving merchandise at the barn from June 14 until the auction, ac- cording to Clarke Bittner, 1972 Auction Chairman.

The deteriorating condition of roads in the borough was again the subject of much discussion by council. Suggesting that the Dallas Area Municipal Authority was ‘not living up to its promises’ about restoring roads after the installation of sewers in the Back Mountain, President George Thomas ad- vocated writing a letter to DAMA ‘telling them to get going.” Councilmen William Berti with this suggestion, pointing out that inclement weather had prevented any significant road repairs by the sewer contrac- tors. “If the bad weather has af- fected our own road repairs by our own road crews,” Council- man Berti stated, ‘then it must have affected them too.” A compromise of sorts was reached when Solicitor Charles D. Lemmond Jr. recommended that the borough engineer in- vestigate specific engineering problems associated with the sewer construction and then submit his findings to DAMA through Ralph Garris, borough secretary. Patrolman Sev Newberry, who had been suspended from the police force two weeks prior to the council meeting for an un- disclosed reason, was rein- stated by council on recommen- dation of Willard Newberry, chairman of the police commit- tee. Voting against reinstateing Patrolman Newberry were Councilmen Berti and Parry. borough’s recreation program was ‘‘sputtering a bit,” Mr. Parry, who heads the recrea- tion committee, suggested that he was going to consult with the new recreation director ‘‘to see if we can’t get this thing off the ground.” Mayor Stephen Hartman reminded youngsters that a 10 p.m. curfew exists at the re- creation facilities at Burndale Road and Luzerne Avenue. A contingent of fire company officials headed by Robert Be- secker, assistant fire chief of the Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company, appeared before council to ask that an open burning ordinance be enacted in Dallas Borough. “Forty-three percent of the alarms our company answered during the past three years have been grass fires—and a major portion of those fires have been caused by careless burning,” Mr. Besecker stated. The issue will be considered in committee. Photo by J.
