“But I never followed through with
it. I should have, I just never got
around to it. But you know it’s
funny because I never liked space
science.”
Hughes says his interest has been
generated by the changes that are
now taking place in the field of
science.
“Nuclear energy is a thing of the
past,” Hughes explained. “Laser
power is the future and that has the
Russians scared.”

more snags, inquired why the
project would take so long to com-
plete. Peters assured them, how-
ever, that that was a maximum
date and that it could very easily be
completed before the six-month
period expires.
The sites, which will be located at
the prison itself, the Jackson Town-
ship municipal building and north of
the Huntsville Nursery near Wallow
Pines, will be equipped with three
state-of-the-art computerized elec-
tronic sirens.
Peters said the sirens, which are
being widely used across the coun-
try, would be delivered within 30

the other legislators present, said
they would help expedite the matter
should problems develop.
Originally, the group put together
a package deal that would acquire
not only the siren project, but others
consisting of towers, lights and
fences to be constructed at various
locations. But, since the siren was
the committee’s main concern it
was pulled from that original pack-
age and given first priority.
The development of the other
items on the list now appear to be at
least a year away. Even though
money has been allocated, officials
explained that it is not necessarily
available. — JOHN HOINSKI

Like teachers all across the
nation, Hughes was deeply sad-
dened by the death of New Hamp-
shire schoolteacher, Christa
McAuliffe, who was one of seven
persons who died aboard the Chal-
lenger.
When asked to comment on the
former social studies instructor, he
simply said with a smile, “She
spoke well enough of her profes-
sion.”
Another area educator who
applied for the shuttle mission was
Lake Lehman social studies teacher
John Comitz.
An employee of the Lehman
school district since 1970, Comitz
said he felt sick when he heard of
the fate of Challenger and its crew
members. But, despite the tragedy
he said he would not hesitate to
apply for another mission should the
opportunity arise.
Reporter
golden qualities he believed he
would find, truth, honesty, peace,
compassion and understanding.
Behind the large glass doors of
the office he shared with the editor-
in-chief of his newspapers, Bill
Scranton always had the time to
listen to the problems of his employ-
ees and to do what he could to help
resolve them. In turn, he sought
advice from those around him,
whether they were young or old,
and if he deemed it wise, followed
that advice. He was not only
employer, but a friend as well to all
staff members.
Sixteen years ago, Scranton cast
aside comfortable living, his
family’s home ‘‘Marworth’” owned
by his father, former Gov. William
W. Scranton, and instead lived in a
small rustic cabin miles out in the
country, his meals the natural foods
he prepared for himself. He with-
drew from the chaos and conflict in
the world around him by spending
time in meditation, alone, or with
some of those who worked with him.
He was always ready to pitch in
and lend a hand when work piled
up. When a machine broke down or
when help was needed in produc-
tion, Bill was on the spot, doing
what he could to make the work go
smoother.
At one time, when the residents at
the State Correctional Institution of
Dallas threatened a work stoppage,
it was he who volunteered his time
to try to negotiate with them. His
offer was accepted and he went day
and night for several days negotiat-
ing with the prisoners and avoiding
a crisis.
During Hurricane Agnes in 1972,
he worked shoulder-to-shoulder with
other volunteers in the Valley, and
later worked round-the-clock at the
distribution center set up at the
Dallas Junior High School.
Like all humans, Scranton had
weaknesses. He often stepped back-
ward in his trek to the end of the
rainbow. But, he knew his weak-
nesses and he perservered to over-
come them.
He was a controversial individual
during his years as owner and
publisher of the Greenstreet news-
papers. Many times his editorials or
decisions were unpopular with local
readers. The ultra-conservatives of
the Back Mountain communities
considered Bill a ‘radical’; the
radicals, in the minority locally,
considered him a “conservative.”
Bill Scranton was neither. He was
just “himself.” He had a definite
opinion of ‘good living” and he
never wavered. If he was sensitive
to the opinion of others, he never

showed it, at least not to us. He had
‘compassion for all men and he was
among the first businessmen to
participate in the SCID’s work pro-
gram, which proved very successful
at that time.
Then in 1973, he called a meeting
of the entire staff as he did on all
important occasions to make an
announcement. He was leaving the
papers, leaving them in what he
considered good hands, to travel the
world for Transcendental Medita-
tion, the technique of relaxation and
mind sharpening. He said he would

Roland Evans, chief of Jackson
Township Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment, introduced Jeffrey J. Washin-
ger, fire department consultant of
the Department of Community
Affairs, to Jackson Township super-
visors at the regular meeting
Monday.
Washinger explained that his
department, at the request of the
fire company, did a study of the
Jackson Township fire department
to assist the department in reaching
its goals and objectives.
He emphasized the importance of
the township supervisors taking an
active interest in the well-being of
their department and to establish a
two-way communication between
the supervisors and the fire depart-
ment. Washinger explained that if
the supervisors and the fire depart-
ment officials cold begin to foster a
better working relationship with
each other, it could mean the suc-
cessful survival of the Jackson
Township Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment.
He also presented supervisors and
taxpayers in the audience with
copies of the study done by the

come back sometime in the future
— he did, twice, once by himself
and the second time, with his new
wife, Coral, whom he had met while
studying Transcendental Mediation.
Today, Bill Scranton’s appearance
is different — there is no long hair,
no jeans, and a wife and three
children have replaced the large
Irish setter at his side. His image,
however, is the same. He still
stands on his own principles, he is
taking his final steps to the “gold”
at the end of his rainbow, the
governorship of Pennsylvania.
including all phases of the organiza-
tion as well as recommendations to
improve the present fire depart-
ment.
Chairman Walter Zincavage
expressed appreciation to Washin-
ger on behalf of the supervisors.
Henry Zbiek reported that only
one bid in the amount of $1,825 was
received in answer to the township’s
for sale ad of their 1974 truck
including a plow. The supervisors
decided to table the bid until some
time in the future. They agreed the
purchase price offered was too low.
Solicitor Blythe Evans stated that
Arthur Houck of New York had not
taken any action against the town-
ship’s complaint to raze the delapi-
dated building he owns near Hunts-
ville Dam intersection.
