"Sometimes I could get one cable removed from the battery but the other would be too corroded, so I had to keep trying." "Oh yes, I was frightened," Miss Ruehling said after the ordeal. "I never thought I could live through a hurricane. I still can't believe I'm still here," she said.

Crossin Backs County's Plans On Recreation Commissioner Francis P. Crossin yesterday issued a statement for majority commissioners concerning the recreation policy of the county government and its cost to the taxpayers. The statement was issued, apparently, as a result of one which Sally Jervis issued Wednesday when she announced her resignation as executive director of County Parks and Recreation Commission. Miss Jervis scored commissioners for not taking advantage of State and Federal recreation programs.

While issuing the statement, Crossin cited several projects to which the county apparently is committed and their cost to the taxpayer. He said Phase I Moon Lake Project in Plymouth Township has cost $277,897 to date and when completed with cost 275,337. The state will reimburse the county $627,064, leaving the taxpayers with a net cost of $648,273. Phase 2 of Moon Lake slated to begin late next year will cost he said. Of this amount the State will reimburse $580,000.

Commissioner Crossin's statement: "The majority Luzerne County commissioners are interested in maintaining a policy. of prudent economy in local government. In order to maintain this goal, we must set the functions of government in priority listings. Recreation is only one of these priority. items.

"We are heavily committed for recreational purposes and we do not intend to extend that commitment. There are many problems facing local -government and recreation matters are only one item on heavy a da. Moreover, we were locked into many recreational programs by the former board of county commissioners. These programs are very costly and not as necessary as many other more pressing, business items facing county, "However, because of the heavy financial burden placed on the people of Luzerne County by previous commitments, we are forced to carry through this obligation. "The county commissioners are very mindfui of the hard-hit taxpayers of Luzerne County, and realize that we are faced with elan additional cost of approximately $250,000 to set up and maintain the new magistrate courts as mandated by the Legislature, plus the inevitable Community College campus which is estimated to cost the county approximately $300,000 a year (in addition to our regular appropriation of $383,000) for a period of 30 years.

"Consideration must first be given to this type of project before taxpayers are saddled with additional taxes for recreational facilities. "The commissioners would very much like for the people of the Luzerne County to have all the necessary recreational facilities available, but for the present we must hold the reins on this type of project and give our utmost attention to the much more needed projects. In this day of ever rising governmental costs, it is necessary for those in responsibile positions to establish' certain priorities. The No. 1 priority as far as the majority commissioners are concerned is the taxpayers of Lezerne County."
