In the first united effort of various
taxpayers associations of the Back
Mountain, they groups met Nov. 4
at the home of Stanley Magalski,
Oak Hill, to discuss and evaluate
common yaxpayers problems and
utility rates in the Back Mountain.
Representatives at the meeting
were Dorrance Kocher, president,
Lake Township Taxpayers
Association; Benjamin Orfaly,
president, Harveys Lake Borough
Taxpayers Association; Paul
Saneholtz, president, Jackson
(Continued from P. 1)
Township Concerned Taxpayers
Association; Dr. F. Budd Schooley,
president of Back Mountain
Protective Association, and Stanley
Magalski, president of the Lehman
Township Taxpayers Association.
Future meetings of the group will
be held for cooperative action to
consider community problems.
All groups met Nov. 5 at the office
of Atty. James Reinert, Pioneer
Avenue, Shavertown, to evaluate
UGI’s proposed rate increase of
$3,200,000.
‘State Police fire marshal’s office at
the Wyoming Barracks. An investi-
‘gator was at the scene within 30

: By late morning, the fire was
under control and by 1:30 p.m., it
was declared out. Lake Engine 25
and Truck 27, with additional man-
power, stayed on the scene the
‘remainder of the day and night to
‘wet down the remains.
Coordinated mutual aid
The strategy used in combating

‘well-coordinated mutual aid

i The Back Mountain Protective
.Asociation this week released new
‘information about an informal
‘hearing on a proposed UGI rate
‘hike. The new date corrected an
rearlier statement by BMPA
President Dr. F. Budd SChooley
regarding the schedule for the
‘public meeting.
. Instead of convening at 10 a.m. as
‘announced last week, the PUC
‘“‘educational forum”for the public
wi
munication, especially for the relay
pumping.
The extensive relay pumping was
hampered by the lack of large-
diameter hose. Age-old reliance on
2Y5-inch hose for supply lines is no
longer practical. It is now apparent
what 4-inch hose could have done to
have kept the ladder truck supplied.
From the time the state police
fire marshal arrived on the scene,
an intense investigation was con-
ducted by state as well as local
police and fire officials. As a result
of evidence recovered at the scene
and information received, three
suspects were arrested and charged
with burglary and arson at both
Lake Elementary School and the
summer cottage that was destroyed
prior to the school fire.
The session will be held at Kingston
Middle School and be staffed by the
PUC’s Consumer Services Bureau.
The first of the non-evidentiary
hearings will take place beginning
at 10 a.m. Nov. 14 at the Kingston
Municipal Building with
Administrative Law Judge Charles
Hoffman.
An evidentiary hearing will then
convene on Nov. 14 at 1 p.m. and
another non-evidentiary hearing
BURNHAM
7
by L.D. Burnham
We regard our lives too lightly.
We spend too much energy in
pursuit of good times. Too often, we
laugh too quickly. We fail to ap-
proach our problems with the
realistic outlook they deserve. We
forever seek entertainment and
diversion.
“Stop,” I said to mayself. ‘Just
stop and get life in a proper per-
sepctive. Be practical,” I chided
myself. PRACTICAL, that’s the
word. PRACTICAL!
Deep down inside, weren’t you
searching for something practical
when you opened to this page?
Weren’t you looking for something
bricks? Of course. The mind’s
energies are so often wasted on the
trivial. Get back down to earth,
brother. Be practical. And to get
you properly directed on the
practical pavement I've listed
below some excerpts from Bur-
nham’s Practically Perfect
Precepts.
The subject is walking. My ad-
vice? Stick with the basics; walk on
the bottoms of your feet. Statisics
show that nine out of 10 successful
walkers tread on their feet bottoms
on a regular basis. Another hint: be
sure to place your feet bottoms on
solid, preferably flat, surfaces.
Avoid strolling on liquids (unless
you're trying to impress that
special someone). Don’t walk
outside aircraft in flight or stray out
open windows.
Although it certainly is a temp-
tation at times (you're income tax
is due, you just got an oil bill) you
must consider the wear and tear on
your body. Remember, the feet are
very sensitive. Statistics show that
people who pursue this form of
recreation are at least 75 percent
shorter than average and in poor
physical condition. It may be a good
way to loosen tensions but
remember--the word is PRAC-
TICAL.
What about’ raking leaves? you
read, it right. Don’t rake leaves.’
Leaves fall from trees under the
pretense of being dead--but they're
not. They are crawling, coniving
creatures. They attack drain
gutters; they sweep themselves
beneath doors; they bury
unassuming lawns.
Leaves are dangerous. They hide
fissures in the earth that wait to
swallow the innocent leaf raker. Do
as I do. Stay inside. The leaves will
do away eventually. It simply isn’t
worth the risk.
Consider the chill you must
subject yourself to in order to rake
leaves. You ran the constant rish of
pneumonia and frost bite. Preserve
your health at all costs.
Stave off that nasty fall leaf
raking chill with some brandy while
room. Place the chair by a window
and watch the neighbors rake and
wait to see if they fall into any
fissures. Now that’s practical.
things. You only inherit someone
else’s problem. Used items can be
unreliable, and often times you
can’t get service. Buying used
items just isn’t practical.
Last bit of advice, part 2: never
buy new things. You only inherit
someone else’s problem. Why do
you think. the manufacturer is so
eager to be rid of the merchandise?
Sure--he knows all the problems
involved with new items. They take
forever to break in, they can be
unreliable, and often times you
can’t get service.
The only advantage to buying
something new is THE
GUARANTEE, which states quite
clearly, “This guarantee not valid
is case of breakdown or defect.
Gaurantee expires one day prior to
first malfunction.”
Examine the car industry. Take
away parts and service and the
industry collapses. Defects are built
right into the cars. There's a
department in charge of the
defects. It makes sure the defects
are properly varied and evenly
spread. The department calls itself
‘‘quality control,” but it's the
Evidentiary hearings will con-
tinue Nov. 15 and 16 as needed,
beginning each day at 10 a.m. All
hearings except the Nov. 8
educational forum will take place at
the Kingston Municipal Building.
Under condiseration is an ap-
plication from the UGI Cor-
poration’s Luzerne Electric
Division to raise power rates by
some $3.2 million. Schooley has
urged local consumers of the utility
quality of the defect that concerns
the department.
Engine switches, transmission
alterations--who knows where the
next big trend in defects may be.
Who knows when we might hear GM
advertise: ;
“We're teasing Mrs. Moore.
We've told her we're taking the
engines out of our GM cars. Let's
see what she says.”
“Well, I'm not happy. I'm very
upset. I just don’t know what I'll do.
I bought the car because I though it
had an engine. I guess it'll get
better gas mileage, but it'll surely
be an inconvenience.”
“Relax, Mrs. Moore. We're just
teasing.”
“Well, I’m relieved. I’m pleased.
I’m tickled to death.”
What they haven't told Mrs.
Moore is that they’ve put a four-
cylinder engine in her Monte Carlo.
In the meantime, we view industry
with awe. We're shown film of
happy families touring the Ford
plant, their eyes aglow with
amazement. It must be an almost
holy experience.
“Mine eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Ford.
It is tearing down the highway
doing 30 when its floored.
It gets 15 miles a gallon though
the ad says 34.
The wheels keep falling off.
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
The guarantee will put it to ya.
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Big business marches on.”
So who can afford te buy
anything? You pay more--you get
less. Now that’s not practical--Lord,
that’s INCREDIBLE!
