The Dallas Borough Council announced last
week at its monthly meeting that a tentative
three year agreement with the police depart-
ment has been reached.
Although details of the contract were not
disclosed, the settlement now means an arbitra-
tion hearing will not be needed. Board president
Donald Shaffer said, however, the deal is not yet
final because of an insurance item that still
must be ironed out.
In other business, the board, on a 4-1 vote,
decided to sell the borough’s grater. Members
say it is not worth keeping and that they don’t
have anywhere to store it. Previously, it had
been kept in a shed, but now plans have been
made to use that space to house a second
cruiser.
In addition, members say Lehman Township
has offered its services if help is needed. Board
member Harold Brobst disagreed with the
move, saying that because the piece of equip-
ment is so relatively cheap and that it would be
at the borough’s disposal whenever needed, it
should be kept. Voting in favor of the resolution
were Tim Carroll, Byron Grieves, Russell Stone
and Shaffer, with Brobst voting no.
Members William Berti and Ted Montross
were absent.

I A Sweet Valley man was cited for driving at an unsafe speed earlier this week following a one-
: car accident he was involved in Friday night in Jackson Township. Bradley E. Peterson, Box
oh 155E, RD 2, was traveling west on Pinetree Road at 8:45 p.m. when he lost his brakes after
approaching a stop sign. Peterson’s 1956 International scout then went across Follies Road and
—
Peterson was not injured.
When Paul Dugan of Shaver-
town called his son in Dallas,
Texas the other day to tell him
he had found something while
diving in Harveys Lake, his son
was not at all surprised.
Christopher Dugan, now a
businessman in Texas, was a
lifeguard at the Harveys Lake
Yacht Club in 1974 when he lost
his wallet after diving in the
lake to retrieve a chair that had
blown off the dock.
And, although Paul Dugan
doesn’t really scuba dive, Frank
Tribendis does. And, Tribendis,
proprietor of Northeast Divers,
Kingston, found the younger
Lehman band
to compete
The “Award Winning” Lake-
Lehman Band under the direc-
tion of Mr. John Miliauskas will
travel to Hershey on November
1 to compete at the Cavalcade
of Bands States Competition.
The States Competition will
feature the best high school
marching bands from through-
out Pennsylvania.
Lake-Lehman has been suc-
cessful in winning all first place
awards in Cavalcade Competi-
tions this year, including this
past Saturday, October 25 at
Lebanon. The band scored high-
est of all competing bands and
also received the best music
award.
Dugan’s wallet at the bottom of
the lake during one of his dives
a few weeks ago.
After her husband picked up
the wallet at Tribendis’ busi-
ness, Jennie Dugan washed it
and soaked it in baby oil before
laying it under a stack of ency-
clopedias to dry it out and
flatten it. Surprisingly enough,
the Dugans found their son’s
Social Security card and lifesav-
ing card not only intact but
very, very legible.
Chris’s driver’s license as well
as a photo of a friend were
barely visible and a $20 bill he
claims to have had in his pocket
was nowhere to be found.
Jennie Dugan was so sur-
prised when she received a
phone call from Tribendis,
claiming to have found her son’s
wallet after 12 years.
“He never even told me he
lost his wallet,” she said. “It’s
amazing what kids don’t tell
their parents. I wonder what
else he hasn’t told us.”
Chris is now married to the
former Debbie Kleban of Har-
veys Lake and is the owner of a
construction company in Dallas,
Texas. The couple has one
daughter, Breanna, who was
one year old in March.
And, although Chris was
rather surprised at the whole
turn of events, he has a friend
who has faith in Tribendis. He
has asked the diver to keep his
eyes open for a Dallas High
School ring which he lost at the
bottom of Harveys Lake years
and years ago.
