Page 12 “It’s the least we can do,” says the Rev. Henry Westfield of his flood relief volunteers’ efforts at the Alderson Center, Harveys Lake. The Rev. West- field is presently supervising the care of approximately 900 evacuees who are sheltered in the Noxen, Beaumont, Kunkle and Harveys Lake com- munities. Located at the Lake Elementary School, the Alderson Center is the principal evacuation center in the four- community area and is open 24 hours a day. The medical needs of the evacuees are handled at the school by three nurses working on rotating shifts. They are Mrs. Clarence Parks, Alice Westifield and Barbara Porter. Three meals each day are prepared in the Lake School cafeteria, with approximately 200 persons who are housed with families in the Harveys Lake area partaking of the meals. Food lists are submitted by staffs ih emergency centers located in the Beaumont School, Kunkle Community Center and Noxen V.F.W. building to the Alderson Center. The food chits are filled and supplies are taken from the Alderson Center to the smaller centers by Bill James, a “runner.” Eood is then dis- tributed from each of the centers to flood victims. According to the Rev. West- field, food is distributed to approximately 133 evacuees in Noxen; to 116 in Beaumont, and 106 in Kunkle.

Pittston. Centermoreland Ave. Kingston 287-8631 493-0543 333-4353 Rev. Westfield notes, the total number of evacuees in his district is increasing rather than decreasing. He attributes this increase to persons returning to the Valley who find that their homes have been condemned or are otherwise unlivable. These persons are finding shelter with families in the area until such time as they can arrange for more per- manent living quarters, the Alderson coordinator surmises. Despite the influx of new evacuees, the task is no more difficult for Alderson Center coordinators than it was when there were fewer persons. ‘We seem to have hit upon a routine that is flexible enough to ac- commodate a widely varying number of evacuees,” the Rev. Westfield suggested. The Rev. Westfield cannot speak highly enough of his fellow workers. ‘‘The coopera- tion of these persons has been just trememdous. Were it not for this we couldn’t do the job.” He concluded with the ob- servation that ‘‘it is immensely impressive to see communities working together in this fashion.” March of Champions Planned for July 22 The name ‘‘March of Champions” has been a by- word for entertainment to countless thousands of people since its inception in 1954.

Edwardsville Our Phone is Working 287-5540 § There's some monkey busi- ness going on out at Lake- Lehman High School, and school administrator Charles James is the first one to admit it. The monkey business is being perpetrated by--who else?--a monkey, and a flood victim monkey to boot. After a touchy period of adjustment, the monkey and its mistress were settled in a private room at the Lake-Lehman evacuation center where both sleep com- fortably on a cot. The monkey likes children, Mr. James reports, and its antics have provided moments of entertainment for youngsters in the shelter. Absolutely no pets are allowed in the gymnasium with human evacuees, and evacuation coordinators have made other special provisions for a poodle and a pug prized as show dogs by their master. The two dogs, housed in the school’s agriculture room, set to yipping at 4 am. one morning and roused Mr. James. He went down to the makeshift dog kennel and found the canines craving a bit of human com- panionship. Mr. James ‘‘dog- sat” with them for awhile, then roused their owner who decided to take up residence with his pets permanently. Approximately eight dogs and several cats--pets of other evacuees--are being housed on the recreation field in a kennel fashioned of an inverted file cabinet. Except for one dog who occasionally slips his collar and sallies forth on exploratory tours of the school, the pets have given their masters no problems. DALLAS, PA. 1,000 Sq. Ft.
