Page 10 by Sylvia S. Cutler The new Bell Telephone book is out, and the attractive red and white cover, timely and appropriate for current con- ditions in Wyoming Valley, is finding its way into hundreds of thousands of homes in the area. The message in script says, “The Valley With a Heart Comin’ Back Better Than Ever.” Below is a heart-shaped photo showing Pennsylvania in all its glory--a view of autumn looking out toward Ricketts Glen State Park. The photo was not pulled at random from a brochure. It was in fact carefully selected from the slide photo files of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, and was taken by Public Relations Director Robert Parker. A couple of months Robert Masoner, district manager of Bell Telephone, called upon Bob Parker and asked him to confer with the Bell public relations people. Mr. Masoner wanted a photo of the river for the forthcoming tele- phone book. However, both men realized that symbolically at this time of recovery, the river was not exactly an inspiring scene.

DINNER 829-1907 Glen State Park, showing brill- iantly colored foliage. Bob, using a 35mm Mamaya Sikor during the past four or five years, has taken thousands of slides, and the Chamber of Commerce collection numbers better than 1000. Before the flood, Bob used to present slide shows to many local service and social groups in and around Wyoming Valley. The slides are changed and updated every six months, so that the presentation collection is never static, but always fresh and new. Bob Parker carries a camera for a two-fold purpose: one, as part of his public relations job at the Chamber; second, as a hobby he enjoys. He collects mining memorabilia, and when he runs across interesting mining scenes, he has two copies of those photos made - one for the Chamber and one for himself. He resides in Kingston with his wife Alice, who is involved in real estate work. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Parker, Oak Hill, Dallas. Crash Causes Power Failure The 34-minute black-out in the Back Mountain area early Monday evening was the in- direct result of an automobile same afternoon, according to a spokesman for UGI. The auto, driven by Richard Walter, RD 1, Dallas struck a pole carrying a 66,000-volt line on Conyngham Avenue, Dallas Township near the Dallas Senior High School at approxi- mately 3:55 p.m. The pole was sheared off at the base, however the power line was not severed. The UGI spokesman reported that apparently the heavy load on the main line blew a fuse at 6:47 p.m., allowing a relay to operate incorrectly and in- terrupt the alternate feed line to the Back Mountain area, thus responsible for the power failure. Temporary power was restored at 7:06 p.m., however at 7:15 the lights went out again. It was not until 7:30 that service was fully restored.
