With their enthusiastic effort, and the support of parents, relatives, and neighbors, the children have collected 7,000 soup labels. The Campbell Soup Company will redeem these labels for audio-visual equipment. The Dallas Borough School building has earned a portable listening UNUSUAL JEWELRY AND GIFTS Open Daily You to fill center and a cassette player recorder. The teachers know that these two pieces of equipment will aid in individualizing instructions in their classrooms. They are also proud and very pleased with the participation and feeling of responsibility that the children have shown throughout the project. A contest was held each week and the “Campbell Oscar” was presented to the class that had collected the greatest number of labels the previous week. At the end of the eight week project the “Oscar” was per- manently presented to Mrs. Holly’s class for collecting the largest number of labels. Page A3 During the heavy snow fall Dec. 17, residents of Brook Street, Marcytown, complained that their street was not being plowed. Coal and milk deliv- erdies could not be made, and people were not able to get out to go to work, residents stated. Brook Street is part of Kingston Township and was the subject of a recent article on Marcytown published in the Post. Marcytown is located ad- jacent to Swoyersville and has been a bone of contention for many years. Most of the resi- dents pay taxes to Kingston Township and use Swoyersville or Luzerne facilities because of their proximity. In order for Kingston Township police or road departments to reach resi- dents of Marcytown, it is neces- sary for them to go through Luzerne or Swoyersville. Michael Stanley, Kingston Township manager, in a tele- phone conversation, replied that Brook Street is a private road and cannot be serviced by township equipment. If the supervisors were to instruct the road department to plow that road, the supervisors could be surcharged by the State. Mr. Stanley explained that residents of that area have attended many township meet- ings where they have been instructed that they must first petition the supervisors to take their roads over, then they must hire a lawyer, and all residents on the road must deed over a 33- foot right of way to the town- ship. This deed will then be recorded in the County Court House and sent to the Pennsyl- vania Department of Highways. The road will then be ac- cepted by the township and maintained by its road department, Mr. Stanley noted. This action could be the solu- tion to the road problems faced many times throughout the year for the residents of Marcytown. 2 Area Men Two Back Mountain men face a lawsuit asking over $30,000 in damages as a result of an auto accident in which they were involved last February. Damages of over $10,000 are asked in each of three counts against William H. and Larry Belles. The action was brought by Marcella R. Pasternick, of Wilkes-Barre, administratrix of the estate of Michael Paster- nick, killed in that Feb. 28, 1973 accident.
