truck from Luzerne to Sylvan Lake.

The Trucksville United Methodist
Church, in a service held recently,
rededicated its Educational Build-
ing since the building recently
underwent an Asbestos removal
project.
Built in 1960, the building was of
the latest design and methods of its
time. The building contained nine
classrooms, an office, modern
kitchen, lounge room and recration
area.
In the early 1970’s, a nursery
school was established, sponsored
by the church. The school slowly
gained students and stature. At the
present time, the Trucksville Nur-
sery School has almost 140 students
enrolled and is ranked one of the
best of its kind in the Wyoming
Valley.
The year 1980 began with the
discovery of ceiling material con-
taining asbestos. A consultant was
engaged to determine the nature
and scope of the limited asbestos
material in the building. It was
found that the asbestos content was
not in any way a potential problem.
i
The Trucksville Board of Trustees
reviewed the previous reports and
test results in early 1984. Although
there was no evidence of any poten-
tial dangers, the trustees recom-
mended the removal and replace-
ment of the asbestos ceiling in the
building.
The cost of the renovations was
$48,600. A Financial Campaign was
initiated to help underwrite the
of the project and the project
completed in August of this year.
Leading the Rededication Service
was Rev. Thomas A. Clemow,
pastor of the Trucksville United
Methodist Church. Rev. Clemow
was assisted by Austin Renville,
Vice President Board of Trustees;
Robert Baird, Chairman of the
Administrative Board; and David
Barna, Chairman of the Finance
Committee.
Any members or friends of the
Trucksville United Methodist
Church who wish to participate in
the ongoing Financial Campaign are
encouraged to call (717) 696-3897.

NEDT to be given
at Dallas Schools
‘The Dallas Senior High School
will administer the National Educa-
tional Development Test to 10th
grade students who have registered
and paid the $3.20 fee required to
take these tests. Tests will be
administered on Tuesday, Oct. 23,

The NEDT is a testing program
which helps professional educators,
parents and students plan together
for the educational and vocational
future of the students. This program
will show how well the students can
apply their skills acquired since
entering school. It will help to rec-
ognize the strengths in each stu-
dent’s educational development. At
the same time it will pinpoint weak-
nesses, therefore, enabling help
while the student is still in school.
The NEDT’s are especially valua-
ble for students who are considering
college in their future plans.
