Cold weather and a desire of most persons to stay close to their own firesides has had a stimulat- ing effect on book circulation at Back Mountain Memorial Library. Miss Miriam Lathrop, librarian, reports’ the largest circulation since the library opening during the month of January. The li- brary has all of the current best sellers and in many instances two copies of each. 40 Years Ago - Feb. 7, 1958 IDETOWN BOYS FALL 40 FT., NEITHER INJURED Borough Council unanimously adopted the 1958 budget of $41,345 with no increase in tax millage at its February meeting Monday evening. Anticipated rev- enues for the year are $44,836. The biggest new item in the bud- get is $4,500 for the construction of a playground or playgrounds for children. Robert 6, and William, 4, sons of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Ide Jr. Idetown who were exploring fell from a red ash embankment in Luzerne Suinday afternoon were luckier than they knew. If it had been warm weather, the ashes would have buried them, their fall starting a landslide which might easily have smothered them. Both boys were protected against their 40 foot tumble by heavy snow suits and hoods. They were treated at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital and ~ kept for observation. 30 Years Ago - Feb. 15, 1968 LEHMAN AND DALLAS DECIDE NOT TO MERGE Feelers toward a possible join- ture of Dallas and Lake-Lehman Fitness Club |© Route 309, Dallas (nextto Treatlce Cream) 674-2420 A FRIENDLY schools were extended a year ago when Dallas administration pro- posed the possibility. This was followed by a survey carried out by administrators of both districts with assistance of school board members. A comprehensive analysis of the present and future operations of both school districts with regard to curiculum, quality of education and cost has been completed and reviewed, and it appears that merger of the two districts would not materially im- prove the curriculum or quality of education now afforded our stu- dents and that where improve- ments are called for they can by more economically initiated by separate districts rather than through merger. It was resolved that no action be taken at this time to implement or effect a merger of the Lake-Lehman and Dallas School Districts. 20 Years Ago - Feb. 7, 1978 WORST SNOW STORM IN YEARS HITS BMT The worst snow storm to hit the Back Mountain area in years : dropped as much as 20 inches of snow in some sections and high winds causing considerable drift- ing closed many secondary roads and some highways by late Mon- day afternoon. Local police de- partments were plagued by gi- gantic traffic jams particularly on « the Luzerne-Dallas Highway and Route 309 toward Tunkhananock. Motorists who left Wilkes-Barre and Kingston areas early Monday afternoon sat in their cars for hours. Township and borough road workers worked round the clock plowing municipal roads but faced unsurmountable task of heavy drifting as high winds blew the snow back as fast as it was cleared.
