GAR. oN \ Human Resources Director James Loftus stated this week that Mrs. Ellen Jeffes, wife of Glen Jeffes, superintendent of the State Correc- tional Institution at Dallas, met the requirements of the Concentrated Employment = Training Act as stipulated under the Title VI project. Loftus’ statement was in answer to questions raised on Mrs. Jeffes ap- pointment as a matron at the Luzerne County prison, in a paper distributed by a representative of the correc- tional institution’s gurds union, Local 2496, American Feration of State, County and Municipal Employees. The paper indicated that Mrs. Jeffes was not eligible for the position because she may not be considered having ‘no assumed responsibility for support’ and that she is not ‘economically disadvantaged.’ Loftus explained that CETA has several different projects and the criteria for each is different. Mrs. Jeffes is employed at the Emergency Jobs Program of Title VVI passed in January, 1975, which states that an employee must be unemployed for no less than two weeks. Mrs. Jeffes has not worked for a number of years. Total family income is not taken into consideration under this program. The Human Resources director also pointed out that CETA does not em- ploy any of the people in the program. ‘All hiring is done by the agency requesting employees,” he said. ‘Positions open are made known through the Bureau of Employment An athletic reunion honoring especially the coaches who served at Dallas Borough, Dallas Township and Kingston Township prior to 1942 is being planned by the Dallas Booster Club for the evening preceding the Thanksgiving Day game between Dallas and Lake-Lehman Schools.

Charles H. Gilbert The commanding job these days and minutes--to say nothing of the hours--consists of winterizing what has been too long being summerized. I realized I had to be at it, began by thinking the matter over and through until my winterizing muscles were already tensed for the job beginning at about 4 Monday morning. Of course this is the kind of job Cathy and I both have to work at in our respective categories. I knew better than to let her know that I was lying there awake for that length of time at that time of night thinking about it! We knew that all these things had to be started as soon as possible after daylight. We had driven to Dunmore and back in Sunday night’s pouring rainstorm, which was beginning to include snow as we camehome up our own hill. The trip had been for Cathy to give a talk about Africa to a lively group of junior highs at the Dunmore Church. We told them that the African ‘‘rainy season’’ had started. When we got home we saw that the rain had beaten clear across the front porch and had found the leaky spot in the porch roof as well.The heavy wrapping of the bundle of insulation by the front door was wet. Getting the insulation installed is the major winterizing job still to be done, but there are more immediately pressing chores that come first. I had to drain the mower of gasoline and put it away in the cellar. Cathy had hoped to do one more mowing of the grass, but that will have to wait for spring now. Last week she picked a box full of winter squash from our garden, including our favorite Gold Nuggets. There are still potatoes to be dug, but even real farmers are having trouble getting that done. Another of my jobs was to get the new heavy duty electric wire installed from the cellar to the forsythia bush, ready to plug in the car so it will be warm and ready to start on cold mornings. Then there were some porch rockers to put away in the back cellar, and the garden hose to drain and bring in. The biggest part of winterizing the Glass House had already been done last week, with Cathy installing the inner storm windows on the end before bringing in any plants. It had looked almost full and finished to me, but no, there were still plants under the big fir tree and still the less ex- posed windows to cover. Saturday she went down to our neighbor’s yard sale and came home with a big kitchen table, carried by three of the young people. I couldn’t imagine how it would fit, but the dressmaker had measured and figured and started to work. First she unscrewed the legs, which slanted outward for stability but took “up more space than was available. Then she turned them around so they go straight up and down well back from the corners and screwed them back on again. I was called in to help set the table back up on all fours, because there was little room to maneuver in there. Sure enough, it fitted exactly. Then a smaller table went on top, and there was room for all the plants. Now our nice little cozy sum- mertime lunch room has standing room only for humans. But next summer, when the greenery goes back outdoors, we’ll have a solid kitchen table to eat at instead of a card table; may have to turn the legs around again but that’s evidently a simple job. And most of Monday, while I was doing this and that, Cathy was working in the back attic, closing and sealing the little window, hauling things out and clearing, getting ready to install some of the insulation there. She said the work itself wasn’t hard, but doing it bent-in-two to avoid the rafters was. There’s no place to stand up straight. The two cats had their first op- portunity to explore the place and found it delightful, with its mousy smells and strange dark corners. We are happy to report that Cathy did NOT put her foot through the dining room ceiling when one of the floor- boards gave way. We were both delighted when she discovered one of the boxes contained my Grandmother Catharaine’s book about her Chapin and Pease an- cestors. I had almost forgotten about it, and Cathy had not known it existed. Security and they select the ap- plicants to be interviewed.’ We are primarily involved in the funding. ‘I got a request from Warden Donald Dorris to fund the six positions recently filled, four guard trainees, a matron and a licensed practical nurse. After several months, there was enough money. ‘The first two days, veterans were interviewed for the positions. Then about 12 other persons were in- terviewed by the warden. The warden then selected those most qualified and notified our office by letter. The accepted people were notified by the Bureau of Employment Security. Supt. Glen R. Jeffes said that since their children are in school, his wife expressed a desire to obtain em- ployment. He told her if she could find a job it was allright with him but that she would have to get it on her own. ‘T used no influence whatsoever in trying to obtain a position for my wife and, under no circumstances would I. I have never tried to use pressure for obtaining something for myself and I won’t be influenced by others. ‘When I hire someone, I do it based on his or her qualifications. In fact, I have an employment screening committee who assists with em- ployment decisions. ‘My wife got the job on her own. She was interviewed for the position and hired as best qualified according to the criteria established by CETA. I believe she is well qualified since she completed the 120 hour training program of the Bureau of Corrections which is mandated for state em- ployees. Supt. Jeffes earns an annual salary in the range of $23,218 to $30,396 an- nually with a five percent increment annually. Representatives of the prison guards’ local serving union security employees at the State Correctional Institution at Dallas this week ‘went public” with the identities of union leaders who have criticized prison officials and manpower assignments. H.A. Newell Jr., president of Local 2496 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Em- ployees union, issued a memo to the press, noting that it was not the intent of the guards participating in a meeting of Jackson Supervisors on Sept. 12 to remain anonymous. Newell said the guards agreed to remain anonymous on the suggestion of a resident attending the super- visors meeting, a suggestion ‘‘unanimously’’ approved by the supervisors. In his statement, Newell said, “Since I associate anonymity with nescience, and since neither applies to us, myself and the following Brothers were in attendance: Chief Steward W. T. Mushala and V. DeMettro. The guards submitted information claiming the local prison was un- derstaffed in guard manpower and that prison officials withdraw per- sonnel from the search area when the shift ended to avoid overtime pay costs. SCID Superintendent Glen Jeffes strongly denied the guards charges. Jackson Township residents have developed petitions in support of increased guard manpower. Dallas Borough Police Chief Ed Lyons recently received a letter from Mrs. H.A. Menzel of Reno, Nev., seeking assistance in locating some of her relatives. The letter reads as follows: Chief of Police ,-Dallas, Pennsylvania Dear Sir: I am writing to you to ask if you could give me the names of any one who might be of assistance in locating some relatives of mine. My great aunt lived in your town and in 1948, was 86 years old. Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis Jones Saginan Street, R.D. 1 Goss Manor Dallas, Pa. She lived with her son, Richard Jones. She had two daughters, also, and two more sons, one a bank manager and one a pharmacist (do not know their names). { I have spent years trying to find my aunt’s married name and where she lived.

The man said that he would talk to his partners about the availability of the site for the borough. Shaffer reminded council that it has of the council said the building would be ready to house the new truck and that now the truck is here the firemen have no housing for it. Machell told Shaffer that council would call a general meeting with the fire company to discuss final plans as soon as Newberry receives an answer from the Main Street property owner. When Shaffer indicated he thought it would be better to enlarge the present building rather than build between the two structures across from the burough building, Newberry said ‘why remodel this building and in a few years from now find you need more room?” Machell explained that the grant Dallas had hoped to obtain held up everybody on arrangements for an alternative. £ property he owns at the intersection of Route 415 and Machell Avenue be rezoned from residential to com- mercial. Atty. Lemmond explained that a public meeting must be held at which time people who reside within 200 feet of the property may come forward with any objections they might have.
