The home of Bernard A. Stets,
Pole 26, Warden Place, Harveys
Lake, sustained extensive inter-
ior damage in a fire which was
discovered at approximately 9
p.m. Feb. 5. The immediate re-
sponse by area fire depart-
ments and good insulation were
credited with saving the build-
ing’s basic structure.
The fire was discovered by
Mrs. Richard Tattersall, a
neighbor. Mr. Tattersall told
the Post that he was sitting at
home jusifibefore the fire was
discover(® His geese were
squawking and his dog barking.
He asked his wife if she could
see what was bothering them
She looked out, he said, and
screamed that the Stets home
was on fire. :
She called the fire depart-
ment while he ran up to the
home to see if anyone was in-
side, he told the Post.
Mr. Tattersall reported that
he opened a door and called for
the Stets couple. When no one
‘answered, Mr. Tattersall re-
scued the dog and left.
His daughter, Michelle,
meanwhile had located Mr.
Stets by phone. He had been
visiting his wife, who was re-
cently hospitalized.
Mrs. Tattersall indicated that
a sticker on the telephone,
which lists telephone numbers
of fire departments was helpful
to her in making the emergency
call. The stickers were .distri-
buted by the Jonathan R. Davis
Fire Company, Laetown.
Mr. Tattersall noted that
other neighbors, including teen-
ager John Van Campen, also
notified area fire departments
of the blaze.
Firemen and equipment from
the Daniel C. Roberts Company
at Harveys Lake; the Idetown
company, and the Lehman Fire
Company responded, according
to a spokesman from the Lake
fire department. Mr. Tattersall,
who had noting but praise for
the job done by the firemen,
estimated that over 100 men
fought the blaze.
Mr. Tattersall, saying that
the firemen ‘‘really did a ter-
rific job’’, noted that the Jona-
than R. Davis and Daniel C.
Roberts fire companies arrived
almost at once, with the Ide-
town crew slightly ahead.
The Lehman department ar-
rived with ‘a pumper and two
tankers.
‘Each ‘company was very
well trained,” according to Mr.
Tattersall. He was impressed
by the fact that the first thing
the fiemen did was to cool
down the five gas tanks at the
side of the Stets home. They
were ‘flame red’ when the
firemen arrived, he told the
Post.
When the tankers ran out of
water, the men began pumping
from Harveys Lake. Very cold,
freezing conditions made their
jobs all the more difficult.
Mr. Tattersall and the Har-
veys Lake company spokesman
both indicated that it was a co-
operative effort that saved the
house. Mr. Tattersall said he
was impressed by the fact that
“‘as soon as the trucks pulled in,
the men jumped off; their chiefs
gave them quick orders and
they were off.”
The interior damage is great,
according to Mr. Tattersall, be-
cause it took so long for the fire
to be detected since no one was
at home. He added that re-
modeling work on the home
had just been completed three
days before the fire.
Part of the remodeling job in-
cluded the installation of new
insulation. It was this heavy in-
sulation which contained the
fire inside the structure.
The fire, which is believed to
have started in the basement,
possibly due to faulty wiring,
badly gutted the living room
and broke into the attic.
Smoke apparatus was used,
as some firemen entered the
home, to fight the fire from
within.
Mr. Tattersall said -the fire-
men threw out a smouldering
chair in which the fire, almost
24 hours later, broke out again.
Firemen remained at the
Stets home for approximately
three hours. The Women’s
Auxiliary of the Jonathan R.
Davis Fire Department served
hot coffee from the Tattersall
“snack bus’’, which Mr. Tatter-
sall opened for the occasion.

Elementary and secondary
schools have a significant role
to play in community develop-
ment. City planning has often
been a stepchild of government,
but new ways to encourage
community development can be
implemented through the early
process of elementary level in-
struction. Experiments within
various schooi systems . have
proven this to be the case. Ninth
grades in the Reading School
District and the. Park Forest
Junior Hi@#h School in Centre
County ‘Wave developed pro-
grams on community planning.
The Bethlehem Area School
District has a seventh grade
inter-discginary urban studies
program."
Within Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, experiments have been
developed to provide special
training in community planning
and development. For example,
in the Hazleton Area School Dis-
trict a program titled,
Calvin J. Tinsley

spect, tesggynd repair electronic

Tomorrow at the Crossroads,
has been established to teach
students theories and practices
of city planning. Tomorrow at
the Crossroads is federally
funded through the Elementary
and Secondary Education: Act
under Title III of that program.
The Hazleton district has three
specific projects related to this
program. These projects in-
clude a program for the rede-
velopment of the community of
Freeland; planning an ideal
new town form of government
to transportation limitations;
planning an incorporation of the
myriad municipalities in North-
castern Pennsylvania into one
city to eliminate overlapping
authorities.
In the Wilkes-Barre Area
School District, in Coughlin
High School, a program has
been utilized to teach home
rule, a new governmental mod-
ernization program.
Within Luzerne County, a so-
cial studies council has been
formed consisting of 14 repre-
sentatives of schools within In-
termediate Unit 18 and this
council meets monthly to help
develop a coordinated approach
toward social studies within the
county.
It other areas such as the city
of Philadelphia, textbooks have
been specifically developed to
help train inner-city students
regarding community develop-
ment. ‘An excellent textbook
whieh has been utilized in some
school districts has been pub-
lished by Science Research
Associates, and there are many
other useful educational tools to
help with this type of training at
both the elementary and secon-
dary levels.
This apparatus should be con-
tinued and widely expanded
throughout Northeastern Penn-
sylvania as a method for
developing the best approaches
to community development. It
is through these techniques that
our region’s future leaders can
obtain training toward develop-
ing a background for rational
decision making in coming
years.
