“ According to reports, Geiger was
a friendly, outgoing and happy
young man until this past summer
when Marie Collins, the mother of
Geiger’s four-year-old son, Jeffrey,
broke off their relationship after
approximately five years. Geiger
apparently was distraught over the
break-up and continuously coaxed
Collins “to marry him; which she
refused to do.
Whether Geiger was discharged
prematurely from the Clarks
Summit State Hospital is still under
question since records are currently
being reviewed and investigation is
currently being conducted. Whether
or not there will ever be a definite
decision is questionable since there
are certain patient records consid-
ered confidential which cannot be a
matter of public information.
A review of Geiger’s records is
being conducted by the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Public Welfare
and Clarks Summit State Hospital
administrators.

Academy, Blairstown, New Jersey,

He attended Yale College where he
received a Bachelor of Arts Degree
with a major in American Studies in
1972.
‘During 1973-1974, he was
employed as the public relations
director at the Pocono International
Raceway, worked at his dad’s busi-

received his Masters of Business
Administration Degree in 1976 from
Columbia Business School. For a
while, he worked as a management
consultant but returned to acting as
a hobby and was in various off-
Broadway shows.
His father wasn’t too happy about
Jonathan’s returning to acting but,
“I had to pick up where I left off”,
said the younger Slaff. He said he
takes great delight in any role he
does.
Among those he performed with
in 1977 were Linden, McLean Stey-

Strauss.
Now as a professional actor, Slaff
says he is having a great time. It’s
fun to have a job that you really
enjoy, said Slaff. And now that he
has discovered how much fun per-
sonal appearances. are, he hopes
there will be many more of them.

~ In order to most fairly select the
four recipients of the award, mem-
bers of The Dallas Post editorial
staff will be assisted by the guid-
ance counselors and athletic direc-
tors from both schools prior to the
final decision. The ultimate deci-
sion, however, will be that of The
Dallas Post.
The Dallas Post, in its decision to
institute such an award, recognizes
the need to honor the younger citi-
zens of our community as they work
diligently to build a better commu-
nity for all of us. It is because of our
faith in this younger generation that
we have chosen to honor four of its
members every year.

a later date.

Hang on to
Christmastime usually means
large crowds at department stores
and shopping malls, and large
crowds usually attract pickpockets.
Here are some suggestions from
the Decmeber Reader’s Digest to
help you reduce the chances of
losing your wallet this shopping
season:
— A woman should never dangle
a picketbook from shoulder or
elbow. Clency it under the arm
instead. ‘Also, choose a pcoketbook
with as many impediments to pick-
pockets as possible - a flap over the
top that clasps on the side, for
instance, and zippers and snap
pockets inside. Finally, keep your
wallet at the bottom of your purse,
with everything else piled on top.
— It’s'a good idea to spread your
money, identification and credit
cards in various pockets instead of
carrying all these .items in your
wallet. Police also advise that you
should never carry anything in your
wallet that you don’t need that day.
— A man should keep his wallet in
his inside jacket pocket. Rear trou-
ser pockets are the most vulnerable
because pickpockets prefer to
extract men’s wallets from behind,
where you can’t see them. a
— If/you carry a walletiyin®
trouser pocket, you can foil thieves
by sealing the pocket with a safety
pin or placing a thick rubber band
around the wallet so it will stick to
the pocket.
— Don’t carry your house keys in
your wallet, because a thief then
has easy access to your home.
However, if thieves do get your
keys, change locks immediately.

Check presentation
A check for $3,000 from American
Asphalt Paving Co., Chase, to the
Jackson Twp. Volunteer Fire Dee-
partment will be used to equip the
new fire truck recently acquired by
the Fire Department.
According to Bernard C. Banks
Jr., vice president-treasurer of
American Asphalt Paving Co., the
donation will purchase bunker gear
for the protection of the volunteer
firemen and specialized equipment
to expand their operational
resources.
Purchased items include six sets
of bunker gear; coats, boots, pants,
gloves and helmets. The new protec-
tive clothing, according to Mr.
Smith of the Fire Department,
replaces the outmoded plastic
coated material which tended to
melt in extreme heat.
Featured soloists
The new foam eductor equipment,
pictured above in the hands of the
fire chief, Mr. Evans, will be used
to fight oil and gasoline fires.
“This unit sprays a chemical
foam, it cuts the oxygen and smoth-
ers the fire,” stated Mr. Banks.
Two additional pieces of equip-
ment, a float dock strainer will
prevent mud and debris from clog-
ging the pumps whenever they are
placed in creeks and natural
waters. And a butterfly valve will
enable the firemen to draw water
from alternate sources without shut-
ting down the truck to make the
change, saving much valuable time.
The Fire Department’s new Class
A Truck has the capacity to pump
water at the rate of 1000 gallons per
minute, compared to the rate of 90
gallons per minute of the other
ro
trucks in use by the department. I

chased by the donation from Ameri- i
can Asphalt is expected to be in use {
by mid December, according to Mr.

Authority customers pay $150 a

accounts will be increased from 6
percent per year to 10 percent per
year.

CITIZENS
I WAS LOOKING through old
pictures and new items of the
Dallas Senior Citizens Center since
its inception 11 years ago. There are
only a few of these grand people
still active, so I will attempt to
relive the growth of the center over
the past 11 years in a series of
articles which we will call “Down
Memory Lane” 1973-1985. We will
end the series in a Grand Celebra-
tion - the 12th anniversary party of
the Dallas Senior Citizens Center,
September 11, 1985.
