A great boon to sports enthusiasts (and other eyeglass wearers, especially the young, rough-and-tumble set) are the new polycarbonate materials. Back in the 50's and 60's, most lenses were made of glass. Then plastic became popular because it was lighter. However, polycarbonate is even lighter than plastic. Asa matter of fact, itis 50% lighter than plastic and 20% thinner for the same correction. That means more comfort and style. In addition, it's a better ultraviolet (Uv) protector and provides much greater impact resistance. For this reason, it is the Dr. Curtis Goodwin Optometrist I | "POLYCARBONATE LENS PROTECTION preferred lens for people who engage in athletics. Polycarbonate frames are also preferred. If you regularly participate in sports that involve a projectile, such as racquetball, baseball or tennis, ask your optometristabout polycarbonate lenses and frames. Polycarbonate lenses come in clear or any of the multitude of tints available. They're worth the investment. kkk Dr. Curtis Goodwin 170 N. Memorial Highway Shavertown, PA 18708 (717) 675-3627 THE BIG CHIEF - Kingston Township Police Chief Paul Sabol has been elected president of the Pennsylvania Police Chiefs Assdcia- tion on July 24. Sabol is one of the few small department chiefs to head the organization. (Post Photo/Eric Foster) Sabol elected to head state police chiefs’ group Kingston Township Police Chief Paul Sabol became President of the Pennsylvania Police Chiefs Association on July 24 at the asso- ciation’s banquet in Lancaster. Sabol, police chief in Kingston Township since 1972, was a member of the association's ex- ecutive board for five years, and became 4th vice president four years ago. Each year since, he moved up one step as vice president, and won a vote of approval to become president of the 1,100 member organization this year. “I'm very proud and pleased to be president,” said Sabol. “I'm fol- lowing chiefs that had 90-man and 100-man departments. I have an eight-man department.” One of the goals of the Police Chiefs Association is to lobby in Harrisburg for laws which will help police do their job. Sabol became a police officer in January of 1963. Later, he was elected Constable for a time, after Earl Gregory, now a District Jus- tice, became a Justice of the Peace. Sabol, a Luzerne native, is married to the former Ferne How- ells of Kingston Township. They have a son, Paul, of Trucksville, a daughter, Pamela Harsha, of Bloomsburg, and five grandchil- dren. Beach- (continued from page 1) dents ofthe area near the beach, according to Gloria Bilder, the committee's co-chairperson. As of the end of July, she said that they had about 150 signatures of people who would be interested in joining the association with a family membership fee of about $100 a year. Bilder said that one of the rea- sons the Beach Association could not afford to install restrooms and pay liability’ insurance was that membership was closed in 1981, and the 68 members only paid $5 in dues a year. John McKeown, chairman of the beach association's board of direc- tors, had no comment yet on the future of the beach.

Drycleaning is simply the use of solvents to re- move soil and stains from fabrics. It is called “dryclean- ing” because the solvents contain little or no water and do not penetrate the fibers as water does. Drycleaning solvents are fluids that actually dissolve greases and oils and remove them from the garment. Water by itself cannot do this. Natural fibers such as wools and silks can shrink, distort, and lose color when washed in water, but will dryclean beautifully.

These fibers can retain oily stains after washing, but drycleaning will remove such stains. A drycleaning ma- chine looks much like a very large front loading home washer. It pro- duces similar mechanical action to loosen embedded dirt. At the same time the sol- vent is filtered continyously to insure its clarity.
