He noted that ‘‘the most dramatic
changes in the history of ‘the world
have ocelirred ihe Hifetines ol the
people present here today.” Space
travel, computers and nuclear
weapons are examples of the
machinery that to ‘our father’s
generation, would be pure magic.
They can outstrip the human mind
or destroy the human race if set in
operation. But there is a paradox,’
Harrison said. ‘They cannot oper-
ate without man. The millions of
average men.and women who main-
tain the system of our modern
universe by their daily effort and
their daily work.”
Harrison concluded his remarks
by saying that he has learned one

Petitions are being circulated to
protest the building of town houses
in Dallas on a triangular plot
bounded by Church Street, Center
Hill Road and Claude Street.
Approximately 50 families living in
the immediate area are reported to
have signed the protest petition
which expresses concern for traffic
congestion, water drainage, building
attached units in a residential
neighborhood and safety for area
children.
Spearheading the protest move-
ment are Debbie and Tom Hadzer
whose home on Center Hill Road is
adjacent to Carden Road, a pres-
ently undeveloped right-of-way
which is slated to become the only
access road to the new develop-
ment. The Hadzers expressed fear
for the safety of their two young
children even when playing in their
own back yard if all traffic to and
from The Park Town Houses At
Dallas were to pass right next to
them.
“That area is everybody’s back
yard,” said another irate resident
who expressed amazement that the

The construction of sidewalks
along. Huntsville Road from the
corner of Franklin Street up to Park
Street is being planned by Dallas
Borough. A Community Develop-
ment Grant to fund the $70,000
project is presently in Harrisburg
awaiting approval which is hope-
fully expected within the next two
weeks.
‘This is something we’ve needed
two acre Samuels plot was zoned
differently than the rest of the
neighborhood. Plans are reportedly
underway to have a meeting of area
home owners to formalize plans to
fight the development. Any con-
cerned citizen who has not been
contacted is urged to call Mr. and
Mrs. Hadzer.
The protest group is planning to
attend the June 8 meeting of the
Dallas Township Planning Commis-
sion where prospective builders
Sobeck and Lindquist of Luzerne
will seek approval to build. The
construction firm, which has an
option on the property, had applied
for permission to build once before
but were turned down on the
grounds that 16 two story unit-
swould be too crowded in on that
site.
The Planning Commission com-
posed of Jay May, John Tinner,
Daniel Meeker, Kathy Lawrence
and Robert Bayer will review the
revised plans for two less units and
make a written recommendation to
the Dallas Township ZoningBord. A
Public Hearing will then be adver-
tised for the Zoning Board, manned
by Carl Goeringer, James Aikman
and Jay May, to consider the
project at their next meeting.
Planned
for years,” said Dallas Borough
Secretary and Roadmaster Ralph
Garris. ‘People in the Heights have
to walk out in the road and it can be
dangerous,” he continued adding
that he hoped that when the survey
for constructing the sidewalks and
curbs is completed there will be
enough money available to continue
the project even further to Eliza-
beth Street.

Carl Postupak, 17, of Shavertown
has all but completed his Eagle
Scout award, the highest award in
scouting. For the final part, his
community service project, he
undertook to become a part of the
Back Mountain Blood Council and
organized a team of scouts as volun-
A most important part of any
blood drive is the team of callers
who phone the blocd donors before
the drive; and Carl organized a
team which called over 400 people.
He also brought in 25 donors person-
ally from his family and friends.
Altogether Carl got 17 scouts to do
the calling and to put up posters
advising the date, time and location
of the drive.
The Eagle Scout award which
must be attained before the scout’s
18th birthday, is gained in the final
year of scouting. Carl hopes to now
go on to higher levels of scouting
and to do more in the way of
