DOVE Post Staff SHAVERTOWN - For the fifth consecutive year, employees at McCrory's in the Back Mountain Shopping Center will team up with members of the Back Mountain Kiwanis to help Santa. A special Christmas tree con- taining numbered tags has been set up by the front door. Each tag gives a child's age, gender and sevéral suggested gift items to meet his or her needs and inter- ests. Customers are encouraged to select a tag, purchase one gift item from the list, wrap it, label it with the tag number and give it to the store cashier. The tag should be returned to the tree once the purchase has been made. “I keep a tally of all the tags and giftitems,” said stockroom worker Dale Swire, who is coordinating the program. “We need all the gifts turned in by December 18, so we can help Santa deliver them in time for Christmas.” Kiwanis members fill in the gaps in the lists and take care of tags not yet filled. This year the campaign will serve about 70 needy children selected by the Dallas School District's home and school visi- tor. In its five years of existence, the program has made Christmas merrier for about 500 kids, Swire said. “We always have an excellent customer response,” said store manager Ernie Free. “Already people have been asking me when we planned to set up the tree so they could help out.” Former Shavertown McCrory's manager Loren Schultz, assisted by Swire, began the program five years ago. Anyone wishing to help a needy child for Christmas by buying one gift item may obtain more infor- mation from McCrory's in Shav- ertown. POST PHOTO/GRACE R.

DOVE Post Staff FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP - The supervisors unanimously passed a $318,682 preliminary budget and no increase in the 8-mill property tax at a special meeting November 20. Thebudgetincludesa $100,000 community development grant which the supervisors plan to use to completely rebuild Lewis Road. Secretary/treasurer Sandra Race and the supervisors won't receive raises this year, but in- creases in permit fees and more work are expected to net zoning officer Art Owen a raise. Owen, who earned $3,000 in a combination of $1,400 plus 40 percent of the permit fees col- lected this year, will earn a flat $6,000 next year. “We're trying to keep his salary in line with other area townships,” said supervisor William Miller. “We have always been way below the others in the amount of our fees and the zoning officer's salary. We're 50 percent behind them now. The additional permit fees we'll collect will pay for it.” He estimated permit fees to Used toy sale Dec. 2 at Trucksville Church A double to $12,000 next year under the revised fee schedule in- the new zoning ordinance. When chairman Robert Red: mond objected to Owen's 100 percent raise, Miller fired back, “If you want good people to work for you, you have to pay them better.” “I just don't want to bankrupt the township,” Redmond said. “I can't justify a 100 percent raise when our budget has increased by only $2,000. If you keep giving people large raises, you'll bank- rupt the township within 10 years." Owen estimated his new salary to work out to $5.77 per hour for 20 hours of work every week, some of which is on weekends. : Road workers’ wages are ex- pected to increase by about 10 percent, with the heavy equip- ment operator earning $8 per hour, the road foreman earning. $10 per hour and laborers earn-; ing $6 per hour.

The original plans called for the parking lot to empty onto the narrow street that con- nects 415 with Woodlawn Ave. Claudia moved the drive-in window to the opposite side of the building, facing Route 415, and redesigned the traffic flow pattern so that all traffic will enter and exit on the lot's extreme south ' side onto Route 415."He wasn't required to install a traffic light, he said. sign, with three cash registers inside and a double drive-through outside,” Kepic said. Claudia said he has no plans for the smaller portion of the Agway lot on the opposite side of Mill Street, the former location of the landmark building, which was abandoned in 1994 after heavy spring flooding destroyed part of its stone foundation. Dallas is Kepic's first Wendy's franchise. He plans to open three more in the next few years. “I've been in love with Dallas for more than two years,” he said. “I have traveled through the area a lot and often told myself if I ever opened my own Wendy's it would be here. The area has a great work force. The people are very friendly and have a strong work ethic.” Dallas Women's club sponsors bus trip The Dallas Women's Club is sponsoring a bus trip to Longwood Proceeds will benefit the Back Mountain Food Bank.
