THE MORNING CALL. Allrntown, Thursday, Ffb. 8, 1969 FIRST SECOND Payrow Hopes to Establish More Ties With Allentown Always Ate What He Liked, John Richardson Dies at 110 7H- Payrow suggested that full merger of the police and fire departments in the two cities might not be too remote a possibility. Merger of public works forces for street maintenance, too, might have merit, he said. On the subject of merging services, Payrow said there are "all kinds of possibilities." He pointed out the joint pur-chasing venture, begun in 1962, has now grown so that the Lehigh Valley Joint Purchasing Council has 25 member authorities or political divisions.

"We hope Allentown will join in the future," said Payrow.

Is is his hope that more talk on possible cooperation between the cities will follow the initial period Allentown officials will need in adjusting to their new form of government. Payrow pointed out that Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton have a police-assistance compact, although the need to employ it has never arisen.

Fire Pact Proposed He said his public safety director, Irvin L. Good, is working toward a formal fire department assistance agreement among the municipalities. Beth-lehem and Allentown have cooperated informally in emergencies in the past, he added. Bethlehem Mayor Gordon Payrow said yesterday he hopes his city will find new cooperative ventures with the City of Allentown. Payrow, speaking at his weekly "Tell It to the Mayor" breakfast in the Hotel Bethlehem, said he and the late Allentown Mayor John Gross were responsible for setting up the Bi-City Health Bureau.

He waid the two cities considered the hiring of a traffic engineer to serve both municipalities as the next step worth considering. But the idea was never; implemented after Gross's death. "I hope that, when Allentown shifts to the mayor council form of government, we will be John Richardson, a man who's "always eaten what I liked," died yesterday at Grace, dale, Nazareth R. 1, not quite two weeks after his 110th birthday. He was born Jan.

23, 1859, in Glasgow, Scotland. He was Gracedale's oldest guest. His father, the late John Richardson, was a carpenter in Edinburgh. He came to America to find work and brought his family over in 1865 when his son was 6. The younger Richardson got his first job at the age of 11 as a lithographic printer for $3 per week.

Three years later, he visitor, "I've always eaten what I liked (but) I never touched a drop (of liquor). I don't know what whisky tastes like." Until developing pneumonia several days ago, he was reported to be sharp and alert. As a native Scot, he received a salute from the bagpipe section of the Liberty High School Grenadier Band at his last birthday party. He was the husband of the former Elizabeth Trumpp who died in 1942. The Runyon Funeral Home in Easton is in charge of the arrangements.

At the age of 71, he started a construction business in Estes Park, N.J., and retired 15 years later a successful man. In 1945, he moved to New Brunswick, N.J., and came to Easton four years later on the advice of a minister who had friends in that community.

On his 105th birthday celebration at Gracedale, he told a 8 Homeless As Flames Level House Continued From Page 5 she feared it was at her home. The Stephens property is a few hundred yards east of her home. The fire was discovered by Louella Guth, whose home is only 30 feet west of the destroyed home. She said she saw smoke coming from the house and immediately called the Wescosville Fire Co. When she returned to the window she saw flames at the roof of the building.

The house was a mass of flames when firemen arrived and a call was put out for assistance from Cetronia, Trex-lertown and Western Salisbury fire companies. The heavy winds, blowing out of the west, spread the flames to the garage, about 20 feet from the house, but also kept the fire from spreading to the Guth property. Two cars parked near the garage were scorched. Burns said everything in the home appeared to be normal when they left at 9:30 a.m. She said the home was heated by a kerosene parlor heater located in the living room.
