JORDAN HONORED-—Dr. Jordan (at Sentenced to SCID What SCID officials term ‘serious medical problems” may find con- victed | former Mine Workers Union President W.A. ““Tony” Boyle, trans- ferred: from the Dallas Institution before he arrives. ‘“Mr| Boyle has some serious medical problems from my under- standing,”’ SCID Superintendent Glen Jeffes said early this week, ‘‘and our capability to meet his needs may not be sufficient.” Royle pea convicted in a Delaware County Court Sept. 11 and sentenced to three consecutive life terms for ordering| the murders of union rival Jock Yablonski, and his wife and daughter in 1969 in Media, Pa. The sentence! called for imprisonment at the Chase institution. “If he |was healthy, coming from Delaware county “courts, he would come to Dallas, since he is in our attachment area,” Jeffes said, ‘but “It certainly was wonderful that the foilows in my own club think enough of me to pay me such an honor,” was the way Dr. 1.es Jordan reacted to his being awarced the highest Rotary International Honor, The Paul Harris Fellowship Award, Saturday. “I certainly was amazed and sur- secret,” Dr. Jordan added. Thisaward, named for the founder of > International, was initiated by Dallas Rotarians, and presented Satuzday during a district meeting of hel at the Irem Temple Country Club.” Club President Ralph Connor and District Governor Daniel Chap- man presented the award. The fellowship is applied to Rotary Foundation projects which promote international cooperation and under- standing. Dr. Jordan is considered a founder of the Rotary International Exchange Student Program. ‘I was district governor in 1958 and '59, very often you try to do something a little different. Feeling that young people could do some goodwill throughout the world, I came up with the idea,” Dr. Jordan says of the pro- gram’s founding. The program was adopted in April, 1959 and Dr. Jordan was named its chairman. ‘‘At first we were considered uppity young upstarts for trying to initiate the program, but if fast became popular throughout the world and is now accepted by Rotary Inter- Dr. Jordan, in his 27 years with the Rotary organization, made many other outstanding contributions, a club spokesman noted, having served 1 : i as president of the Dallas Rotary Club as well as District Governor. i “I can talk Rotary all day and al night,” Dr. Jordan observed. “It's years now. He added, ‘‘My wife once said to me, everything we do, even the people we meet and the places we go somehow relate to Rotary, and it’s true.” ; A Rotary spokesman noted that in addition to his leadership in the Rotary organization itself, Dr. Jordan made tremendous contributions to both the local and state Professional Dental Societies, the United Fund, the Boy Scouts of America, the YMCA and the YWCA, and the Back Mt. Public School Educational Associa- tion. He has not neglected any area in which he could take an active role in by Terry Bonifanti )) editors note: This is the last part of a twp part series on estimated heating cosigor the coming winter and what exp&Y'ts believe can be done to help keep them down. The first part ap- peared in the Sept. 18 issue of the Dallas Post and presented the pro- jected 1975 costs of heating the aver- age home.) ‘Days cold enough to start heating systems have already come to the Back Mountain this year. Winter seems to be approaching faster than the area is ready to accept. Heating bills are one of the unplea- santries almost everyone associates with the winter. Now is the time to plan on keeping these bills to a minimum. . should the homeowner start whe considering ways to save heat- ing fuel? With insulation, according to many local fuel company spokesmen. Fred Hardwigsen of UGI said it most explicitly. ‘Insulation is a prime factor in home heating.”’ He added, “Insulation and installation costs will be paid back to the consumer quickly as fuel prices continue to rise.” Hardwigsen estimated that 33 per cent of the heat lost in a home goes through the ceiling and another 33 percent goes through the walls. Spokesmen from two local concerns dealing in insulation, Jack Callahan of Whitesell Brothers and Bob Surridge of Shavertown Lumber, estimated costs of insulation for the ceiling of the average home (1200 to 1300 square feet) was between $150 and $300 at the present time. Installation of the in- sulation can be easily done by the homeowner in most cases. : The most common and “best” type of insulation available locally accord- ing to Surridge and Callahan, is fiber- glass batting. The batting comes on a roll and for homes in which the attic flooring is not present (as in most newer ranch style homes) all the homeowner need do is lay the batting between the rafters. In the newer homes, where open studding is present, the batting can even be installed in the walls by the homeowner by simply dropping it dowi, In older homes, installation of ceil- ing insulation may require the tearing out of attic flooring. Or the insulation can be blown into the flooring. Older homes without open studding would also require insulation blown into the walls. This would have to be done by a contractor or company with the pro- per equipment. Insulating walls in homes that do not have open studding is subject to some disagreement. While agreeing that heat is lost through the walls, Surridge said he would not recommend insulating walls in homes without open studding. ing it in gets too much in the sidewalls and prohibits dampness from escap- ing and rots wood.” Al Barrows, from Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company, after agree- ing with Hardwigsen that insulation is the primary method of, improving heating loss said the installation of storm windows is also important.” Even if the homeowner makes home- made plastic covers on his windows in the winter heating costs are saved,” according to Barrows. In estimating heating loss, Hardwi- gsen said, ‘24 percent goes through windows,’ agreeing this is a primary concern. ; David Hurst of Hurst Home Special- ties took that estimate a bit further and said he believes 30 percent of the heat is lost in a home not equipped with storm doors and windows. Agreeing with Barrows and Hard- wigsen, he said, ‘‘next to insulation, this is the second most area of con- cern for heat loss.” Storm windows are now running be- tween $12 and $38, not installed and $19.95 and $45 installed, according to Hurst. There are windows that can be purchased for lower rates, but the effective windows would be in this price range, for the most part, Hurst said. Storm doors range from $80 to $300 dollars, installed, and from as low as $19 to $250 non installed, and again, “you get what you pay for’’, accord- ing to the Hurst spokesman. “Godd windows can be found in the $25 to $32 range and good doors usually run about $100’ he said. These two areas, insulation and storm doors and windows were men- tioned by every fuel company heating expert interviewed as primary means of lowering heat loss in homes. What else should be done now to prepare a home for winter? Mike Pasanetti of Surburban Oil added, “weather stripping, checking for leaks and having the heating unit tuned up.” Tony Butler of Mahaffey Oil agreed, ‘‘Get the oil burner tuned up now, and (Continued on Page four) making (tomorrow better for those around him, the spokesman said. Dr. Forster. known to thousands as “Dee’”, was instrumental in founding the Dallas Fall Fair which contributes thousands of dollars annually to community service and served as chairman of the Back Mountain Library Auction. He remains very Dr. Jordan and his wife, Ann, parents of four daughters and one son, reside in Trucksville. Among his growing Dahlias has won many awards. He conducts his oral surgery practice in Wilkes-Barre. | “We're grateful Dallas Rotary has taken this way to honor our activities and interests,” Dr. Jordan said for his family, “I am very grateful and over- whelmed.”’ because of the medical difficulties he may be sent to Pittsburgh or Greater Ford, where there are full-time medical staffs available.” Jeffes also said Boyle would have to get off a federal sentence he is pre- sently serving for illegal use of union funds to support political candidates, before he can begin serving the state sentence for the murder implications. “If he does come to Dallas, he will go through the same procedures all men incarcerated here must go through. He will be processed and after a month he will be assigned to . i by Terry Bonifanti “We've been threatened since the day we walked into Harveys Lake. All I want to do is finish the job and get out” said Jack Glace, president of Glace and Glace, the engineering firm contracted for the Harveys Lake sewering project by the municipal authority. Glace’s comment came during Tuesday questioning on Glace and Glace’s stand on a proposed injunct- ion which requires the firm to file a project fiscal report. 3 “It’s a very complicated document, and the farther along the project, the less apprehensive we were about fil- ing the report,” Glace said, explain- ing ‘‘it’s a report of the estimate of the total project.” Glace said the firm had been work- ing on the report continuously and added, ‘‘we hated to send it up there half-completed.” The Harveys Lake Municipal Authority sought a preliminary in- juction against the engineering firm last week in an effort to have the firm produce the necessary fiscal report. Judge Richara Bigelow, Luzerne County Court, delayed his injunction allow Glace and Glace two weeks (until Oct. 2) to supply the needed information. Judge Bigelow and both parties Dallas, area. agreed if Glace and Glace supplies the projections on or before Oct. 2 the action by the Municipal authority would be dropped. However, if the engineering firm fails to comply, the preliminary injunction would be granted without further hearing. The injunction proceeding came following what Municipal - Authority Chairman George Alles said were re- peated efforts to get action against the authority. Both the authority and the Harveys Lake Taxpayers Association had attempted to initiate legal action against ‘the engineering _ firm previously. Efforts. were stymied, sewering project. The authority was advised to wait-until the completion of the project before instituting any legal proceedings. At the Authority’s Sept. 10 meeting Alles announced that with 96 percent of the sewering completed, the authority was ‘‘not going to wait any longer before taking action. He in- structed Solicitor Donald McFadden to begin legal proceeding on the in- junction. : McFadden in his brief told the court the Federal Home Administration had contracted to provide $3,311,000 in permanent financing of the project and the Environmental Protection Agency contracted to supply a grant of $3,168,100. Temporary financing was to come from the Girard Bank of Philadelphia. The legal papers also state that additional financial commitments by the FHA depend on updated project- ions from Glace and Glace. On Tuesday (Sept. 25) Glace said the reports were near completion and would be supplied to the municipal authority before the Oct. 2 deadline. Repeated attempts to secure com- ment from Solicitor McFadden on the injunction proceedings proved futile. When queried about a second legal action under consideration by the municipal authority charging Glace and Glace with negligence in the sewering project, Glace replied he was not aware of action. He repeated his statement that the engineering firm had been threatened since the day(they) walked into Harveys Lake’’ and added, ‘“We don’t see how in the world we can do any- thing but get the job done and get out. If they (the authority) want to take any action after that we’ll deal with it then.” Glace, prefacing his remarks by saying he does not know all the parti- culars of all the jobs his company is involved in and adding that he has. begun to review the Harveys Lake project said, “I know the job was handled. I think the sewer construct- ion is really done well.” He also said, ‘There are some pro- blems, there have been some serious overruns we had not anticipated, how- ever, we get no extra money from overruns changeorders. We do not benefit at all from these things.” Glace said he intends reviewing the project completely and said he spent Tuesday morning going over the fiscal report. Dallas Council “Pal
