Dr. Cutter holds a masters and doctorate in composition from the Boston University School of Music; a B.S. in Music Education from Mansfield Uni- versity and is an alumnus of Dallas High School, where he was active in the choral music program under the direction of Florence Sherwood. His choral compositions are published by Galaxy Music, NYC; Lawson and Gould Pub- lishers, NYC and Alfred Music Publishers of Los Angeles. Hosts (continued from page 1) “When they got to district cho- rus, they had to learn 12 to 14 pieces of music, because they had no idea what they were going to sing,” Sherwood said. “They com- peted for 80 spots (for the region chorus). When they get to our school, the 162 singers will com- pete for only 32 spots.” The regional competition com- bines winners from two districts, which include 52 school districts. The 32 singers selected here will go to all-state in early April. Among the entrants is Lisa Davenport, a senior at Dallas High School. Anyone wishing to house a chorus participant can call Mrs. Florence Sherwood at Dallas High School during the day (675-5201) or at her home at 696-2412 in the evening, or complete the mail-in coupon found elsewhere in this week's issue of The Dallas Post.

Catherine Gourley will review her book, “The Courtship of Joanna”; which is a novel about coal mines and min- ing. Our library is filled with many exciting things, along with all the books, we have many antique items, amusing collectibles and at the moment, we have an exciting ‘recycled’ dinosaur and a fun group of white fluffy bunny rabbits. A little three year old boy gave evidence to this fact when he remarked as he was leaving the library last week, “Everything is beautiful in here”. As we begin to celebrate five years in our new facility, we certainly agree, every- thing is beautiful here. “Out of the mouths of babes’. We have received a copy of “The Princeton Plan” written by a for- mer Wyoming Valley resident, Barbara Aston, co-authored by Dr. Edwin Heleniak. The book was given to the library in memory of Albert H. Aston by Mrs. Albert H. Aston and Barbara Aston, M.S. the book is the revolutionary weight- control program that increases your body's store of B.A.T.—the fat that actually burns calories. Sci- entists are calling it the most excit- ing nutrition discovery in years. Codes (continued from page 1) properly inspect wiring. “That's exactly right,” he said Saturday. “I don’t know anything about elec- tricity.” But he said with codes, a joint inspection by the fire chief and building inspector would be conducted. “I would inspect in conjunction with the building inspector,” Wright said. While he could spot fire code violations, the municipal inspec- tor would be trained to examine basic construction and utility work. Wright would like to see codes adopted, and a building inspector shared with other municipalities, thus not burdening one commu- nity with the entire cost of the position. He noted that area municipalities have been sharing police and emergency services successfully for years, and pur- chasing some materials jointly. “These guys have to get out of the ‘we're Dallas Township or Dal- las Borough’ mentality, and into thinking ‘we're the Back Moun- tain,” Wright said. He recom- mends that a starting point could be the adoption of the national BOCA building code. “Ten or 15 years ago, I remem- ber we had several chimney fires that spread to the houses. The cause was a contractor who was doing substandard work. If we had codes and inspection, that wouldn't have happened,” Wright said.

DENMON Staff Writer Dallas Elementary students have moved into their new class- rooms. “We received word Friday the district has been given their Labor and Industry Occupancy Permit,” said Ruth Tetschner, principal of the school, Tetschner explained that not only did the teachers move into the four new classrooms, but also she also made arrangements for the other teachers to move their equipment and supplies into the classrooms vacated by the two kindergarten classes, one first grade class, and one second grade. “It takes a lot of planning to make a smooth transition,” Tet- schner said. Especially since the students are so excited about the move.” Report from Harrisburg PARENTAL NOTIFICATION PASSED - Legislation requiring parental notification when a minor is arrested and charged with a summary offense in Pennsylvania unanimously passed the House this week and was sent to the governor.
