John Paul. supervisor of
maintenanae for the buildings
and aroulls of the Dallas
School District, has submitted
his resignation and will retire as
of Oct. 1. The announcement
was news to the school board
and to Dr. Linford Werkheiser,
superintendent. ‘‘He’ll be a
hard man to replace,” and ‘We
hate to see him go.” were the
immediate responses of those
present when his letter of resig-
nation was read at the July
school board meeting.
Mr. Paul. known to one and
all in the Dallas District, began
working as supervisor of
maintenance in June, 1962.
He was born and raised in
Kingston and lived in Laurel
Run for many years. He was
formerly in the contracting
business with his father and is
no stranger to the school world.
While his wife, the former
Bessie Herriotts, taught and
served as principal of the
Laurel Run school, Mr. Paul
was a member of the school
board and its president for two
terms, until it phased out into a
larger district. He proudly
boasts school association for 25
to 30 years.
Mr. Paul has been an active
man all his life. A member of
the 'SeeBees, Naval Construc-
tion Battalion. for seven years
during World War II, he was

proud of his naval associations.
Five years ago, he underwent
heart surgery, and the doctors
now tell him that he should
retire to maintain good health.
He feels that a man in his kind
of work must be physically fit
and able to climb, run, and work
24 hours a day, able to do real
physical labor. Mr. Paul’s of-
ficial title is misleading. He is in
no way a ‘‘supervising’’
superintendent, but is a hard-
working one. He is in charge of
all maintenance of buildings
overseeing 25 men and seven
housekeepers. He receives
supplies and distributes them
draws up specifications for
supplies. equipment, jobs and
work. and then checks the
bidders for a proper recommen-
dation to the school board; and
last. but not least. he attends
school board meetings, sche-
duled and non-scheduled, some-
times three times a week.
He has taken courses at
Wilkes College and Penn State
on the ‘operation and mainten-
ance of the sewage system
connected with the school.
Mr. Paul is proud of the
schools he maintains. He says,
“The majority of the kids are
proud of their school. There are
a few who don’t care, but they
are in the minority.” His
greatest joy is visiting the
kindergarten. ‘‘You should see
those little faces when they say,
“Good morning, Mr Paul,” He
is a man who really loves and
understands children.
A firm believer in higher
education for those who desire
it, Mr. Paul also believes in
vocational technical training.
“Technical schools provide a
great advantage,’”’ he said.
“Anyone who has a trade has a
legacy. He can create his own
job through hard work and
determination. A man with a
trade need never be out of
work.”
Mr. Paul and his wife own a
small farm in Cambra where
they go every weekend all year
long: ‘He was planted over a
thousand trees and ‘‘has a thing
for conservation.” He'd love to
live on the farm permanently
but he has a woodworking shop
in his Shavertown home and
wants to make furniture. bird
feeders and other things. He
and his wife also plan a fall trip
to New England and Nova
Scotia, and he wishes to spend
more time with his son, John
Paul Jr. and his four grand-
children in Idetown.
“My wife says that I ought to
sleep at the school because I
spend so much time here,” he
said with a twinkle in his eye. “I
guess the first thing I'll do is get
caught up on the chores at
home.”
