ER CRT PAGE FOUR Harveys Lake has been very quiet lately, except for my hotel burning down. It was a giant loss personally, but the response from our neighbors and friends was so overwhelming that it just proved what I always said-- Harveys Lake is a wonderful place to live. Jimi’s Restaurant in the Dallas Shopping Center is still the no. 1 place to go for information. It is not unusual to see Council President Bob DeRemer or Councilmen Bob Win- terstein or Jack McManus there during the week, and so you can always get the latest information on boro activities. Bud Hoblack is always there with his boxing gloves on, and I even see the reporter from that other paper quite often. But best thing of all was a surprise part Jimi put on for his wife Midge last Saturday night with better than fifty people in attendance. How he was able to keep Midge in the back room and the guests in the diningroom without Midge knowing it was amazing. We had a glorious time, and the food was delicious. Your Harveys Lake Seeing Eye, Richard Tattersall By By Phillips As Will Rogers used to say: I see by. the papers that one of the people seeking the gubernatorial nomination in this year’s primary election is a former nude model. = It’s refreshing to find a policital candidate with nothing to hide—or at least no place to hide it. I'd love to see one of her election cards. You remember the little carrying the candidate’s picture and other tid-bits of information. And I'm sure you remember how as children we_used to collect the ducats for trading or flipping. That was a great pastime then, standing under the street light or in the school yard trying to match cards. really revive that old custom.

Development proposed Tom Dilley representing Stur- Engineering Dallas Township Planning Com-" mission session Monday evening to development located on Country Club Road, Dallas. on a 26-acre plot known as the Keefer Two plans were submitted, one for 51 homes and the second for 52 homes which will be in the $60,000 price range. The first plan has one of the two streams running through the property diverted into the other. Dilley assured the group that he investigated the water supply and was told by the Dallas Water Company that there is a main line running through the Fern Knoll Cemetery and one on Route 309 which will be within One of the board members suggested that an on-site well be in- vistigated to assure sufficient water to those already on the linds. Sewage lines run through the property and present no problem. The site is located adjacent to the newly constructed Fox Hollow Estates on Country Club Road not far by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert Spring really sprang this time, didn’t it? When we backed out of the driveway this morning Cathy remarked that she could actually see over the snowbank to look down the road, and almost half of our trash can is now visible. This ‘morning the cardinal was singing his ‘“‘pretty, pretty, pretty” song, and there has been a shiny blue- seen any geese yet, but Myrt Hoover up in Orange said she saw some Sunday. Saturday evening we went over to the Sinfonia da Camera concert which was delightful. Before the concert we had some delicious roast beef with some delightful people. ©The can- dlelight on the tables was just right, since I can’t see much of anything anyway. I've been practicing my tough typing by dim electric light so I won’t be tempted to try looking at the keys. It must be helping some, because some of the people I write to say my typing is improveing. But I won't try doing. it by candlelight, because either I or one of the inquisitive cats might knock it over. My hearing aid is fine when talking with two or three people in a quiet room, but when there are a number of folks chattering with each other, I don’t get much of what is said. All those charming people at the tables were making lots of cheerful noises, which made me think of a flock of birds conversing. And have you ever notice how the level of sound rises and around the tables, or at a reception or other gathering? Monday night was a ‘‘Spring Happening’’ at Mozart Club, with more delightful music, and more friendly chatter afterwards. Today when I visited the doctor he was happy to hear how well my new non-diet is agreeing with me. We're both enjoying’ it, and when Cathy weighed me the other day she said we would balance on a teeter-totter; which means she has lost a couple of pounds and I haven't gained any! " Now that Holy Week is here and Good Friday is upon us, I have a confession to make. When I was pastor of a church, I became quite tired of the traditional three-hour service. It got to be a chore to find something new and valuable to say about the same short passage of scripture each year. . Then there were the mechanics of the format to worry about. Each speaker had the responsibility for half an hour (or 45 minutes, depending upon how many were involved), and often the same person was scheduled to take part in two or more services in the area. What happened if one speaker spoke longer than the alotted time? Or had a flat tire on the way from one service to another? The whole schedule was thrown out of whack, and concern tor how the whole thing would work out sometimes overshadowed the rea<on for the service in the first place. Well, that's one of the things 1 don’t have to worry about any more. I'm planning to attend the children’s service here at Mount Zion on Good Friday morning. Young people from all three churches of the charge take part, and we older folks are welcome, too. I've been hearing some exciting things as the Allelujah choir and Cathy got together to work out something special they are going to be doing in the service. The old suitcase full of costumes we made for Bible plays long ago has come out of the closet. The service is at 10 a.m., if you would like to join us. The choir is going to each lunch at church afterwards, then go over to Dallas to sing at the three-hour ser- vice there. 1 might even go along to that, al long as 1 don’t have to worry about who speaks when! Happy Laster! . HOUSE MEMBERS TOOK A FIRM, UNITED STAND behind the official corruption by unanimously ,approving an additional $115,000 to fund a House committee’s. work. Cigarette smuggling, land fraud and mob influence in Pocono Mountain resorts have been the early targets of the House probe.
