Tom Schmidle, president of the
Kingston Township Ambulance
Association, has indicated that ‘‘con-
tinued agrravation and harrassment’
on the part of association members
over the proposed building program
may result in his resignation.
“I have not yet submitted my resig-
nation,” said Schmidle, ‘but I am
concerned with the manner in which
the association has been operating in
recent months. Since we have the land
and funds for the proposed build-
ing, 8®s time we moved from our pre-
sent headquarters which have been in
the Shavertown Fire Company build-
ing. The association is comprised of
all residents within Kingston Town-
ship and should be in its own build-
ing.”
Schmidle stated that three years
ago the former president of the
association started the building fund.

Progress reported

Dallas Education Association,

Bus transportation for the first
three weeks of the program will be
available along major routes. Buses
will begin their runs at approximately
7:40 a.m. The times the buses will be
in any given area will depend upon the
beginning point and time, and the
distance traveled before reaching
each stop. The times and stops will
become evident during the first few
days operation.
The following routes will be run
June 23, the first day of summer
school. Adjustments in routes and
considers
donations totalled approximately
$10,000 for the proposed building on
Route 309, above the Harris Hill Rd.
intersection in Kingston Township.
Schmidle also reported that in addi-
tion to the building fund, the associa-
tion has approximately $17,000 in its
general fund but there has been no
effort to get construction underway.
He went on to say that the associa-
tion met about four months ago and
the motion to build was voted down by
a majority. The association president
decided to have the property surveyed
to determine the association’s lines
and in the early part of May, Frank
Shevick surveyed the site and deter-
mined the lot measured 50x120 feet,
large enough to accommodate the
proposed 20x30 feet building.
Schmidle told the Post that on May
28 he called a general meeting to con-
construction of the new building be-
cause many of the members felt
another vote was in order. This time
the majority voted in favor of con-
struction.
Several days following the meeting,
the president was notified that 11
members had signed a petition calling
for a special meeting on June 12. At
that meeting, the members charged
Schmidle with holding an unauthor-
ized meeting on May 28, having the
site surveyed without membership
approval, and failing to hold bi-
monthly meetings.
Schmidle stated that these charges
? N

Judge Richard C. Bigelow can take

April 22 trial of furloughed Dallas
Township police officers Russell
Banta and James Gruver against the
Dallas Township supervisors, accord-

Atty. Townend said that despite the
judge’s ‘never’ legally having to rule
on the case, he expects, ‘‘to hear
pretty soon.”” He added, ‘I would be
surprised if we don’t hear in the next
month.”
Today marks 60 days from the
beginning of the trial. In the two legal
actions, consolidated for the trial,
Banta and Gruver sued the township
supervisors for reinstatement to their
former positions in the township and

membership does not agree with his
method of operation. He said he
refutes their charge of holding an
unathorized meeting on May 28 pri-
marily because the meeting was sche-
duled for May 30. He claims this was
the second meeting of the month
which refutes the charge of not hold-
ing bimonthly meetings.
He claims the surveying was done
by a precedent set by the past presi-
dent which stated that the president
has the right to hire a person as long
as the hired person’s service is in
accordance with organization
business, and, in addition, he intended
to pay the surveyor’s fee himself.
Schmidle can see no reason why the
proposed building cannot be erected
because, according to him, the
fund totals approximately $27,000
while the bids for the new building
range from $9,200 to $12,000. Bids on
the proposed building include a two-
car bay, restroom and installation of
all plumbing, heating and electrical
systems in addition to construction
costs.
The president stated that a cen-
trally-located building would be a
benefit to the entire community.
Schmidle also stated that he has re-
ceived calls threaténing him if the
building plans were approved and
that one of the bidders also received
harrassing calls and threats.
