Penn’s Woods Girl Scout Council
is looking for its roots. Next year,
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. will cele-
brate the 75th anniversary of its

Bu founding by Juliette Gordon Lowe,
and in two years, our Council will
Je
7 celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Sadly, all the Council history was
/ washed away by Hurricane Agnes
in 1972. ?
Sally Jervis, Executive Director
of Penn’s Woods, can still see the
2 scene she found in the Council
Office on Wyoming Avenue in
Kingston. The flood waters had
swirled through the office, under-
27

0 mining the building and opening a
huge hole in the floor. She felt her
way around the edge of that hole in
the dark, to get into her inner office,
where she was able to retrieve a
brief case with the only financial
records that existed for the Council.
Everything else--pictures, uni-
forms, old copies of SPLINTERS,
153
N
minutes of Board meetings, newspa-
per clippings, correspondence,
membership records, registrations
etc., were all lost.
Losing all of the history makes it
hard to celebrate the happy begin-
nings of Girl Scouting in Penn’s
Woods. A 75th anniversary and a
25th anniversary usually mean
saluting the founders, the early
leaders, an those early Girl Scouts.
Penn’s Woods Council has none of
the records to work from, to make
those salutes possible.
As planning begins for the big
anniversary celebrations, Penn’s
Woods is appealing to women
throughout the Council. Were you
ever a Girl Scout? Do you remem-
ber song,s games, old uniforms, hve
pictures from Camp Wildwood at
Harveys Lake, Camp Onowanda
near Tunkhannock, Camp JoyLo in
Hobbie or Camp Springside in Port
Clinton? Do you have any momen-

secured.
Hasay said he felt Harveys Lake
had ‘““a past agreement to maintain
the restroom” and that puts the
PFC in a situation of not having to
negotiate.
“Actually the businesses at Har-
veys Lake retain a good sum of
revenue from people using the boat
launch,” said Hasay. ‘Knowing
that, the PFC, I would guess, would
not be too willing to offer any
maintenance money.’’

man Ray Jones said last week he
estimates it would cost between
$6,000 to $7,000 for maintaining the
restroom.
Jones said he would not agree to
using Harveys Lake tax dollars for
the maintenance of the restroom
because the PFC does not give the
borough any revenue they pull from
fishing licenses, boat registrations
and citations.
Hasay said the PFC is an “Inde-
pendent Agency’ which does not
receive any revenue from the Penn-
sylvania General Fund.

dogs must be trained either through
courses or by the owners. They
must walk orderly on a leash, sit,
lie, stay or come as commanded;
must have a social nature, take
correction without notice and must
not be over-exuberant. It is impor-
tant that they react favorably to the
residents, who may make sudden or
unexpected movements.
Janice screens each dog and if the
dog is favorable, the owner is given
an application, signed by the trainer
and approved by a reputable local
trainer, to send to the home office in
New Jersey.
Janice goes with the owners and
their pets the first several times
they visit an institution to make
certain everything is routine.
Owners must first contact the
administrator, become familiar
with the institution’s rules, make
certain their dog is in good health.

Police Chief Paul Sabol of the
Kingston Township Police Depart-
ment would like to inform residents
that since November 1, the winter
parking ordinance has been in
effect. This ordinance prohibits the
parking of vehicles on all public
streets between the hours of 2 a.m.
and 6 a.m. Residents are requested
to place their vehicles in their own
driveways to permit the plowing of
Snow.
Beginning Monday, Nov. 11,
through Monday, Nov. 18, the Kings-
FRESH
KIELBASI
ton Township Road Department will
be conducting a leaf pickup pro-
gram. Residents are requested to
place their leaves in standard gar-
bage bags and place them on the
curbs by 7 a.m. Raking leaves into
the storm drains of the streets is
prohibited. Placing leaves in the
gutters will block the storm drain-
age systems and cause flooding of
the streets. It is also illegal to burn
any leaves in the gutters of the
street due to the damage it causes
to the asphalt.
