However Gold will soon leave the board because her husband, Gary, has accepted a job in the Lehigh Valley with the U.S. Postal Service.

Signs carefully covered with clear plastic food wrap sat on neat tripods in the fire hall's parking lot, while support- ers distributing slate cards stood under umbrellas in the wind- driven rain. Murray's pickup truck was even pressed into service as a place to hang campaign signs and to improvise a shelter from more umbrellas hung over its high wood panel sides. Soaked supporters shivered, swapped gloves and sipped hot coffee while bantering among themselves. “Counting the votes was a real nail-biter,” Murray said. “We didn't Newspaper office closed for Thanksgiving The office of The Dallas Post will be closed all day Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23 and 24 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

LSE JR preliminary 1996 budget Lake Township's preliminary 1996 budget is based on antici- pated revenues of $292,701, in- cluding a beginning general fund balance of $26,000, from a nine- mill real estate tax, a $5.00 per capita tax, a 1/2% real estate transfer tax, and a 1/2% earned income tax. These rates have not changed since 1975.
