Horn blowing and wages of
our borough employees were the
chief subjects of discussion at
the February meeting of the
borough council Monday night.
Lloyd Myers, president of coun-
cil, asked Titus Rutt, burgess,
to start the discussion on the re-
cent arrgst of Robert Williams,
blowing | his automobile horn
following the winning of a ball
game dy| the local Donegal team.
Mr. Rjutt said: he knew that
the subjleet: would be brought to
light at [the meeting. His two
thoughtd on the subject were
the Vehicle
Code. S¢etion 814, paragraph A,
it is unlawful to use horns other
than as ja warning device. Quot-
ing the [law “It shall be unlaw-
full forjany person at any time
to use horn—other than as a
that to

warning device or to make any
or unreasonably |
loud or{ harsh sound by means
of a hogn or other device.”
Thergfore, blowing horns is
really, illegal, He.announced that
he did hot inform the police that
they were to start enforcing the |
law bul on the other hand the
police {io not have to consult]
him og; whether or nota law |
shall Bf enforced since “a law is |
a law”
Burgess Rutt suggested that |
since a former statement had]
been made in 1950 that young- |
sters might blow horns follow- |
ing a ball game, that a warning |
should’ have been issued in‘ the |
newspapers telling citizens that
the lav would be enforced.
According to Park Neiss, Chief |
of Police, he has received nu- |
merous complaints concerning |
the noise that the horn blowing
makes. George Groff replied
that even though he didn’t go to
the games, he always knew who
won because he would hear the
horns. The other members all
agreed and announced that it
made them quite proud of the
team when they “heard that the
boys won.”

council to
Following this
Burgess Rutt asked
refund the fine money to Wil- |
liams and than either issue a|
warning or allow the young |
people to blow horns following |
the games only. James Spang- |
ler made a motion that the mon-
ey be refunded; George Groff
seconded the motion and Mr. |
Myers heard only “Yes” ans-|
wers. Immed‘ately following the |
vote when it was suggested that |
in the eyes of the public this
may look like “a fix’, the mo-
tion was rescinded.
The only action following the
rescinded motion was that the]
Council turned the matter back |
to the burgess and asked that he |
write a public letter to the citi- |
zens to be printed in The Bulle- |
tin.
Wages Increased
The next discussion was con-|-
cerning an increase in ‘wages |
for the borough employees. Fol- |
lowing the discussion on how |
much the employes’ wages shall |
be increased, a four to two vote |
resulted with

“I have been embarrassed by |
the fact that already one of our

has been fined for such unnec-

though.
“I did not think that I was out

remit that fine, but for the rec-
ord, it must be said, that after
giving their okay, they again
re-considered that matter and]

Now, who can tell? That
is why I ask for some common

condemn everybody.
‘Many people who don’t get
to the games are listening for
the sound of the horns. It sig-
nals that our team has won, that
our boys have advanced,
shouldn’t we all be a bit elated?
“Let's try to be reasonable
and grow into an understandable
attitude, all of wus, adults at
home, fans, kids with cars and
police.
“If a mistake has been made
make it
worse. Let's apply good judg-
ment, ,
“I cannot but inse.t a word
of commendation for our youth.
No one can point to our young |
people as an arrogant and cyn-
ical group. I know our youth as
| a pretty respectful group, when
one considers their attitude to-
ward the older people. Let's be
happy for this and keep it that
way. I have heard it is so dif-
ferent in some places.
“In a word: To the police -
caution! To the kids - consider-
