(Debbey Wysocki is the entertain- ment writer for The Dallas Post.) By KATHY SUDA Staff Correspondent Lehman Township Supervisors reviewed problem solving recom- mendations from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation con- cerning a bottleneck traffic problem on Route 118 at their regular monthly meeting on Monday. The board discussed the installa- tion of two overhead mast arms with 24 hour flashing warning lights in the intersection near the Lake- Lehman Junior High School. As an alternate plan, the board discussed suggestions of installing an overhead signal to be used during hours when congestion is greatest, suchas school bus dropoff and pick up times, and lurich and recess periods. According to Alvin Cragle, the township is now utilizing the serv- ices of a township policeman to control traffic at the intersection. The board is also planning a meet- ing with the Lake-Lehman School Board to discuss the feasibility of sharing cost of maintenance and operation of the signal. Charles Bartlet, spokesman for the Oak Hill Sewer Project, told the board that the Chester Engineers have forwarded specifications for their project to the Department of Environmental Resources for approval before they are sent to the Environmental Protection Agency for review. The financial package for the Oak Hill Sewer Project, including cost to taxpayers, has not yet been com- pleted. Ground-breaking ceremonies for the project have been tentatively set for April 15 at 3 p.m. at the No. 2 pumping station. Construction will by 1988, the system will be on line. The board also appointed an Agri- cultural Advisory Committee for the Agricultural Security Act proposal. The proposal was given to:the town- ship solicitor for his ‘review to insure it complies with rules and regulations of the act. The commit- tee is planning to advertise a public meeting on the proposal. Those appointed to the committee are James Cook, William Dawe, Doug- las Ide, chairperson; Glen Johnson and Mike Wojieciewicz.

By JOHN HOINSKI State Sen. Charles D. Lemmond Jr. has shown in the past his ability to efficiently perform in several capacities. And, last week the former district attorney-turned judge-turned politi- cian, demonstrated his versatility once again when he was chosen to be the guest speaker at the Dallas Baptist Church, Rt. 415 on the Dallas-Harvey’s Lake highway. Lemmond was on hand to help the Back Mountain congregation kick off an emphasis entitled, ‘‘Good News America! God Loves You.” The event was part of an effort by Southern Baptists across the nation, encompassing 30,000 churches in all 50 states. The theme of the two month drive is to let people know there are solutions to difficulties we all face. In particular, Lemmond, who pastor David R. Penley said church members described as a “man of God,” spoke of the Christians role in changing the direction of America. “The first thing we must do before we can change anything is to renew confidence in ourselves,’”’ Lemmond said. “We must also find renewal in our leaders, institutions and government. This country has withstood wars, assassinations, recession, inflation, abuse and cor- ruption and it is still the most stable nation in the world.” Lemmond quoted individuals from the past who had expressed concern over our country and the ways we can help make it progress. ‘Norman Cousins once said, ‘what holds men back isn’t the pressures of reality, but the absense of dreams,’”’” Lemmond said. ‘Ideas have consequences. And that involves two things: belief and behavior. When we change belief we change behavior.” In addition, the Dallas resident talked about the low morality and permissiveness that has now taken over in the world, saying that “moral values are so vital that we can’t take time off from practicing them.” Joking about how people like to hear politicians talk about things in threes, Lemmond stressed the three P’s of Christianity: pardon, power and promise. The pardon of past sins committed, the present to help bring about renewal, and the prom- ise of the future. “We must develop a new atti- tude,” Lemmond noted. ‘“We have to concentrate on the positive things and not the negative ones. There is good news America. God does love us. Now what are we going to do about it?” . THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR when we start looking for signs of spring, geese flying north, crocus popping up out of the cold ground, and the first robin. Another sure sign of warmer weather is when the ice cream stands open for the season. Since Mark II opened their Twin Kiss last Friday, Spring must be on the way.
