ges. pe gs arise a The former Girl Scout Camp changed ownership last April 12 when th¢ Penns Woods Girl Scout (Wincil Inc. sold the property to Guy J. Giordano of Kingston. After some difficulty in proving to the Luzerne Couty Zoning Board that a sewer system would be installed at the Lake, Mr. Giordano was given the ‘*go ahead” by the board to break up the land into lots of. less than an acre each. Thus far he has sold two lots. A 44 acre lot, a portion of what Mr. Giordano is calling the Wildwood Parcel, was pur- chased by Donald C. Smathers and his wife, Helen, of Harveys ‘Lake Borough, July 16. A smaller lot went to Richard M. Burnat of Kingston Borough, Aug. 16. Their deeds give the new owners the right to connect to ‘‘common electric and water facilities now. existing on the Wildwood Parcel” and access to the road and lake front, across Mr. Giordano’s property. Thirty feet of personal lake front rights are included in the Smathers’ deed. The problems which had Borough Council and the Harveys Lake Municipal Authority had caused Mr. Giordano some problems when he applied to the County Zoning Board for permission to sub- divide the property. In the con- fusion over whose responsibility it was to inform the zoning board of the borough’s intent to create’ a municipal sewer system, the zoning board was not officially informed for some time, and Mr. Giordano’s request went unanswered. Mr. Giordano has indicated that he was not entirely happy with the zoning board’s final decision. ‘‘The lots were not broken up exactly as I'd like,” he said. About 70 firemen from three companies spent almost three hours Aug. 23 battling a blaze that destroyed the LaCasa Yourdsters Donate Proceeds of Circus To March of Dimes The Northeastern Chapter of the March of Domes was the recipient last week of a generous donation from a group of nine youngsters at College Marnor, Dallas.

James Joseph Flood, 38, allegedly offered to kill John Krasner, of Harveys Lake, his wife and son if Mr. Morrow would pay him $25,000. Mr. Morrow, who state police report is in fierce competition with Mr. Krasner for the adult book market in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, noti- fied the state police of Mr. Flood’s offer. The police in- structed Mr. Morrow to go through with the transaction, and arrested the man shortly after he accepted the sum. Mr. Flood, who also uses the aliases of Joseph Rosenfrab and Joseph Landon, of the Belfonta Apartments, Scranton, was also arrested on a charge of theft by extortion. Capt. Lawrence O’Donnell, commanding offi- cer, Troop P, of the Wyoming barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police reported that state Deli Open 11 police officers, led by Lt.

Dallas magistrate Leonard Harvey, before whom the origi- nal charge of criminal solicita- tion was filed Aug. 19 by Mr. Morrow, said that Mr. Flood ob- viously knew of the fued that exists between the two adult material merchants.

Mr. Krasner now owns 26 and Mr. Morrow 11 stores in the three-state area. Some stores are in direct competition. After the offer and Mr. Mor- row’s report of it, state police kept Mr. Flood under surveil- lance until they saw the money change hands at about 12:30 Sunday afternoon. Police then moved in and made their arrest. The state police officers in charge of the case praised Har- veys Lake police chief Lienthall and state police officers Wil- liam Kosinski, Carl Allen and 3 : - 7 Mon. - Fri. op ST Donald Taylor, who made the arrest, on their efforts. Mr. Flood was ordered to post $25,000 bail on the criminal soli- citation charge and $15,000 on the theft by extortion charge by district magistrate Carmen Maffei, of Exeter.
