A mock election was held at the
Dallas Intermediate School yester-
day in conjunction with the nation-
wide General Election. The students
cast their votes using a school
computer which was programmed
by Jeff Dover, a student, and
Joseph Sallitt, a teacher. The com-
puter was used to tally votes for
each candidate and to give totals
that indicate preferences by gender
and grade level.
The suggestion for the building-
wide election was made by Willy
Whitesell and Eric Paczewski, both
students, as a result of their Social
Studies current event program.
Adding to the interest in voting
was a living facsimile of Ronald
Reagan in the name of Dave Jones,
a teacher at the school.
Results of the election will be
announced in the November 14 issue
of The Dallas Post.

An elderly Centermoreland couple
died November 3, victims of a
murder-suicide at their home. Both
died from gunshot wounds to the
head.
Police believe W. Leland Gay, 78,
shot and killed his wife, Verna, 79,
then turned his 12-gauge shotgun on
himself. It is believed problems of
old age and ill health were the
motives in the shooting.
The shooting is believed to have
taken place sometime around mid-
night Friday and both bodies were
discovered by one of the couple’s
daughters on Saturday morning.
Although the couple reportedly left
a note for the family, contents of the
note have not been made public.
The Gays are survived by three
daughters, Mrs. Janet Brown,
Vernon; Mrs. Lola Vogrin, Tunk-
hannock; Mrs. Lois Wright, Sayre
and 10 grandchildren.
Private funeral services were con-
ducted by the Richard Disque

land.
