Drive. Carverton Heights.
Residents from that area
have been attending the super-
visors’ meetings for the last few
months, asking the township to
take ove their streets. There is
still a #tion of this area which
the township has not accepted,
but the residents assured the
board that all proper require-
ments would be made in the
near future.
The group also complained
about equipment left in the area
by developer Henry Novak. Ed
Richards, chairman of the
ley, secretary, to write a regis-
tered letter to Mr. Novak in-
forming him that no more build-
ing permits would be issued
until he meets with the supervi-
sors. to discuss the many prob-
lems in the Heights area.
Atty. Ben Jones III, township
solicitor, informed the board

witnesses, the solicitor re-
ported.
He felt that a decision would
be reached within the next
month. Atty. Jones also sug-
gested that the board consider a
compromise with Mr. Kester
and allow him to establish a
trailer site if he comply with
strict township regulations. It is
possible that he would not meet
township standards. Mr.
Richards asked John Dana,
planning and zoning officer, to
make a recommendation to the
Zoning Hearing Board that a
compromise be made before the
court’s decision becomes man-
datory. This recommendation
would also have to have the
approval of the supervisors.
Solicitor Jones related that he
saw no indication as to which
way the judge would decide the
case.

tice teaching requirements dur-
ing the spring semester. Ernest
Ashbridge, director, questioned
the number of practice teachers

many. Dr. Linford Werkheiser,
district superintendent, com-
mended Mr. Ashbridge on his

Just after the news broke re-
cently of the millions of birds
which had descended upon a
small town in Maryland, the
Post received a telephone call
from a Shavertown woman who
told of a similar situation near
her home in recent years. Mrs.
Robert Deibel, James Street,
Shavertown, said that for the
past five years “millions” of
birds have been showing up in
the 11 acres of woods at the rear
of her home. Each year, she
said, they come earlier and stay
longer.
Mrs. Deibel, who saw a tele-
vision report of the birds in a
Maryland town, became con-
cerned when she learned of the
such large flocks of birds can
create. The report, she told the
Post, noted that bird feathers
and droppings, which had accu-
mulated as much as two inches
in the Maryland community,
can cause lung disease and
blindness.
Although she did not know if
droppings during the Shaver-
town invasions piled up to such
an extent, she reported that on
humid days the smell is ‘‘ter-
rible’.
The *‘sky is black for miles
when they come in’ and they
“sound like a waterfall,” she
said. Each night they arrive
just before dusk and stay the
whole evening, leaving about 7
a.m., ‘when they all get up at

once and go,” she added. ie
She said that when the birds
first stopped near her home
several years ago, they arrived
near the end of the summer and
stayed for only a few days.
Staying longer each time, she
explained, last summer the
birds “‘came at the end of June
weather...about wintertime.”
“They will destroy the trees,”
she predicts. “I don’t know if
they should be killed or what.”
that too would result in a health
hazard. She has contacted the
Pennsylvania Game Commis-
sion and the Department of En-
vironmental Resources in the
past, but both claim the prob-.
lem is not in their jurisdiction,
she told the Post.
The DER told her, she said,
that poisons strong enough to
kill them would also harm hu-
mans.
Mrs. Deibel also reported that
she has talked to Kingston
Township - patrolman William
Pugh about the situation. He
has recomrnended that neigh-
bors fire carbide cannons or
guns this year in an effort to
frighten off the birds.
Law enforcement assistant
Robert Meyers of the Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission, Dal-
las office, told the Post that bird
problems have no simple solu-
tions, adding that it is a matter
to be handled by the local muni-
cipality.
