Poleri, the chamber said, is responsible for the innovative way of presenting Freeland as Pennsylvania's highest borough by depicting the community's skyline in silhouette. This unique design made the signs particularly attractive. Chamber President Charles Reczkowski said much favorable comment has been received about the new signs and the chamber is particularly grateful for the contributions made for this project.

The Freeland Fire Department is entering the second phase of this year's fund drive. Within the next week residents who did not forward their contribution will receive by mail a second contribution request. This will serve as a reminder that the drive is ongoing and that financial help is needed to make this year's drive as successful as those of past years. And this year, the need for funds is more critical.

The 1993 drive is extremely important because of the expanded financial obligations the department faces. Each month loan payments are due for both the 1992 Seagrave 2000 GM pumper and the Seagrave 100 foot aerial ladder truck. Also this year the department is contributing towards the rehabilitation of the 1974 Seagrave pumper which has served the community well over the years but is in need of repairs and upgrading. New equipment to replace what was purchased when this pumper arrived new also is being bought and funds are needed for this improvement. The 1974 pumper was delivered to Interstate Truck Equipment of Hagerston, by members of the department this past Friday so that work can begin on the apparatus.

The drive committee noted that the financial implications of this YMCA lists The Freeland YMCA basketball gym schedule beginning Monday was announced.

Open Mort-Sat 10-9 Sun. Noon 5 KJ S11 III Mine (Continued from page 19) the Office of Surface Mining at the site near Harwood on Aug. 27 to more-or-less set the project in motion Fly ash from Montour plant near Washingtonville, is being used for the demonstration near Harwood. It should be noted that fly ash from Sunbury and Holtwood could not be used because of the current design of ash handling systems at these plants. Fly ash at those power plants is mixed with water in a hydroveyer and pumped to settling basins for disposal.

The ash cannot be removed from the system before it is mixed into a slurry. At Montour, however, the fly ash is transported dry to porary storage silos. It is loaded dry into pneumatic tank trucks or conditioned with moisture and loaded into dump trucks. is constructing similiar installations at its Sunbury and Holtwood facilities. Montour, Sunbury and Holtwood power plants have pulverized coal-fired units.

The fly ash currently generated at these plants is slightly acidic. Therefore, plans to amend the ash with hdyrated lime for mine reclamation projects. Only a small amount of lime is required to produce an allaline mixture. Laboratory studies were conducted using moisture-conditioned fly ash from Montour to establish an approximate mix design for the Harwood project. The results indicate that a flowable fill mix with three percxent hdyrated lime hardens within 24 to 48 hours to support foot traffic.

This mix design is being used in the Harwood demonstration. Mixes with smaller amounts of lime remained "plastic" after three days, and this could conceivably pose a safety concern if used at large reclamation projects where access cannot be completely restricted. It should be noted that strength continues to increase well beyond 48 hours. It is estimated that a total of approximately 500 cubic yards of flowable fill will have been used in the Harwood demonstration. The Harwood project had required preparation of the site; the delivery of equipment and materials; the setup and calibration of the batch plant, and the backfilling of a vertical opening to the existing grade.

When the job is completed, the equipment will be broken down and the site will be cleaned up. Site preparation work had been conducted to minimize disturbance of existing vegitation. A small spoil bank near the vertical opening had to be leveled so it could serve as a staging area for equipment and materials. Minimal grading also was done in the vicinity of the pit to reduce the entry of surface water. The fly ash and lime are mixed in the batch plant and chuted or pumped into the vertical opening.

The batch plant produces approximately 15 cubic yards of flowable fill per hour, or about 100 cubic yards in a day. During the project, the surface levation of the fill was recorded at the end of each day. A significant droe in elevation would've indicated that the fill was not bridging over holes in the bottom or sides of the opening. If this had been the case, straw bales would have been placed inside the hole and backfilling would then have commenced. The entire project near Harwood is expected to take eight days, including five days of backfilling with the flowable fly ash mixture.

No. 1 will issue a second plea for financial support, according to Chairman Rich Knepper. More than a month ago, the fire company launched its 1993 Fund Drive.

While support has been described as "good" by fire company officials, the volunteers are appealing to all non-supporters of the fire department. Officials indicate they have received contributions from about 35 percent of the households and businesses they protect. "We're lagging behind last year's fund drive pace by at least $3,000," said Knepper. "We're hoping that our second appeal reaches all those who have not taken the time to contribute. We need to hear from each and everyone.

"Looking over our contributor list, I've noticed many businesses who have not contributed to our campaign. We're hoping that we can salvage this year's campaign. It will only happen if people begin to contribute," said the chairman. Borough and Packer Township residents are reminded to complete the survey information form provided by the company and mail it with their contribution in the enclosed reply envelopes. Residents are reminded that company members are not paid for their services, but they are Presbyterian Women held Nov.
