Page 20 Barry Miller, 19, 509 Main Road, Dallas, and Thomas _Grundowski, 19, 16 Ellas St., Shavertown, appeared before Magistrate Leonard Harvey Sept. 10 at 9:30 a.m. on charges of ‘possession of an offensive weapon’’ (a sawed-off shotgun), and ‘‘possession of malt beverages by minors’. The charges were filed by Dallas Township police. According to testimony given by Dallas Township Patrolman Carl Miers, the boys had taken part in a fight at Frances Slocum Trailer Park at 3:45 a.m. Sept. 4. They were reported to have had a shotgun. Dallas Township police assisted the Kingston Township police in “answering the complaint. Kingston Township police put out a call for the boys, who al- legedly were driving an open green jeep. The jeep was spotted by Dallas Borough policeman Bob Kelly. He called Miers, who was in the im- mediate vicinity. The boys were apprehended in the Miller driveway and when Officer Miers looked in the jeep he found the cans of beer. He ar- rested the boys for possession of malt beverages and when the police took the beer out of the jeep, they found the sawed-off shotgun on the floor, disas- sembled. They also found 12 gauge shells. The boys were taken to the Dallas Township Police headquarters for questioning. Because possession of the gun was a Federal offense, the U.S. called for assistance. Special Officer James Ford also questioned the boys and ob- tained a signed statement. The boys admitted they had sawed the gun barrel off with a hacksaw in the Grundowski garage. Tommy Grundowski stated that the gun originally belonged to his brother. The boys were arraigned Sept. 4 before Magistrate Harvey and were released under $5,000 bail. Magistrate Harvey found them guilty of possession of malt beverages and they were fined $100 plus $11 costs each. He found a prima facie case on the gun charges and bound them over for a grand jury hearing. Atty. Robert Scovell ap- peared as council for the youths. Mr. Ford, Officer Miers and Kelly, and Dallas Township mony in behalf of the police. Atty. Scovell called no witness- es and would not let the boys testify. by Mrs. Ray Kelly 298-2149 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mec- Govern, Robert and Cindy Lou, Canadaiqua, N.Y., spent the weekend with her father, Edgar Engelman.

This year the picture is differ- ent. People are expected to ask, “Why are my children on the bus for such a long time?’’ or “Why can’t you pick my child up in front of the house?” The hazardous route bus law has changed the whole busing situation and-locally it has been responsible for setting up schedules and making sure that each child, from Bunker Hill to Harveys Lake, gets to his or her proper building at the proper time. According to Anthony March- akitus, assistant superintendent of the Lake-Lehman School Dis- trict, the busing situation is week was the most difficult. Lake-Lehman buses 2,545 stu- dents; 2,225 attend district schools, 85 go to West Side Vo- Technical School, 130 to Gate of Heaven, 35 to Bishop O’Reilly and 10 to Wyoming Seminary Day School. With the additional students bused, total mileage has increased 320 miles over last year, Mr. Marchakitus informed us. There are 32 regu- lar routes, five kindergarten routes, and one special route in this rural district, he continued. The biggest. problem is with the kindergarten and first grad- ers. Parents could help by mak- ing sure that their children are at their bus stop on time. Mr. Marchakitus suggests. ‘‘An eight to 12 second delay at each stop means a final total of 10 or 12 minutes on a dozen stops. Rexall VITAMIN C TIES .$1.10 This can make a bus arrive 10 to 12 minutes late and then the next run is late.” James Brokenshire, Dallas intendent, cited the fact that 75 students failed to register before the first day of school thus fouling up enrollment figures and wreaking havoc with bus scheduling. . Mr. Brokenshire said that there are 40 more kindergarten pupils registered this year than last and it is hoped that an addi- tional teacher will be approved by the board. He also stated that the buses were within 15 minutes of last year’s schedule on the second day of school and within five minutes on the third day. “Things are straightening out now and there are only a few minor problems,” he said. Patricia Gregory, Dallas School Board member and chairman of the transportation committee, said that she spent the first three days of school at various schools, rode a kinder- garten bus route and answered calls about busing at home until 11 p.m. The clos] & of the Shavertown school h¥s added to the busing problem, she said. Some parents are going to petition the school board and some have even threatened to contact Gov. Shapp about busing problems, Mrs. Gregory noted with dismay. She cited a shortage of bus drivers in the Dallas District, thus complica- ting the many related problems. “We are trying to hold costs down by central pick-up and drop-off spots, and it is a tick- lish situation,” Mrs. Gregory was quoted as saying. More than 3,000 students are being bused in Dallas. There are still a few students who walk to school. This method may not be modern or conven- jent, but skipping puddles, watching trucks unload and racing your friend home can be fun and good exercise. To assure publication, send your news in early.
