Hunsinger, manager of the AA Motor Club of Northeastern Pennsylvania, has voiced stern opposition to two state legislative measures that would provide restricted driver's licenses to operators who have lost their licenses through point system violations. Both pieces of legislation under AAA fire, one in the Senate and the other in the House, would give a violator a restricted license to continue to drive in regard to his livelihood.

i a i legislative proposals are illogical, ill-advised and are a form of ridicule to the principles of highway safety. "A i i license is nothing more than a license to avoid the penalties of the law," Hunsinger said. "There is no logical argument in favor of providing a special license to any driver whose driving practices are bad enough to cause him to exceed the maximum number of points for various traffic violations." The AAA official stressed the point system and the driver improvement school were devised to act as a deterrent to dangerous driving. "The restricted license concept would emascualte the i a highway a i safety enforcement in Pennsylvania into a farce," Hunsinger said. arrests Road to raceway recalled by Tunkhannock secretary Mount Pocono Bureau BLAKESLEE Twenty-one years ago when she began as a a Tunkhannock Township, Mrs.

Rachel Henning remembers the biggest project 'on the agenda. It was "maintaining and taking over township roads." An ordinance pertaining to roads was also the first to be enacted, die added. "Today," says Mrs. Henning, who announced she's stepping i "more and more ordinances are necessary to insure a good growth in the community. "Permits have to be issued and there is more detailed work for the treasurer as well as the secretary and I was both." "The work load is very heavy.

More and more time has to be spent on the job," she remarked. "In 1952 when the secretary- treasurer resigned supervisors went around and asked who might be interested in the job. I took it." Her reason was mainly because she felt she would be contributing to her community and she felt in her own way she was taking an active part in local government. "I am and have always been concerned with a good growth in our township. "I'm sorry I have to leave but I feel the jobs on local Mrs.

Rachel Henning government levels are fast becoming full time jobs. "Twenty-one years is a long time and I'm tired," she said softly. For about twenty years meetings were held hi Mrs. Henning's home. This year they moved to the Long Pond Community Center.

"Many times there were as many as 25 to 30 people here attending meetings in my home," she said. "The people in our township come out especially if they have something to say," she added. "And that's good," she continued. "Residents should go to township meetings so they are kept up to date on what's happening." Mrs. Henning feels the biggest change in the township has been Pocono International Raceway.

"But now everything is changing rapidly. More second home developments are being built. "Right now there aren't too many sub-divisions in oiir township," she stated. "BuV I'm sure more will be moving in. "The establishing of a ning and zoning commission a wise move now, before too many developments and mercial businesses decide come into our township." Her a i i with', supervisors has been vefy; good.

"I've often felt like offerj- ing a suggestion," she 1 'Once in a while I did." Paul Blakeslee, chairman i arjd supervisors Willis Dyson an'd; Charles Searfoss, all said they, were regretful to see Henning leave. Blakeslee, who has known- Mrs. Henning all of her and has worked with her for; two terms said, "Mrs. ning has done a very good We could always depend on'; her." "She was going to resign; last year but we talked her into staying. But couldn't talk, her into staying this time.

Dyson, who has worked with', Mrs. Henning the longest. the three supervisors, "I'm really sorry to seejlier" go. She has done an excellent; job taking care of everything and keeping all records in good shape." Dyson said he would recoitK mend Mrs. Henning to needing "a good dependable- worker." First sponsored by troopers Police post serves area youngsters STROUDSBURG To some county residents the state police just check radar on Rte.

33 and are called to accidents but to 26 area youths they are dedicated public servants. The youths are members of the' Monroe County Police Explorer Post 170, formed about a year a a i a i a Stroudsburg. It is the first police explorer post in Pennsylvania sponsored by the state police. Trooper Delvin Powell, a police investigator, formed the post along with Troopers i a a Wertz and Fred Klee. Powell has experience working with teenagers, being scoutmaster of Troop 665 in Philadelphia.

He said the post was formed so youngsters could have an understanding of what a state policeman does and some young people in high school are interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. Boys and girls are in the post ranging from age 16 to 20. All of them are county residents with about half working and half still in high school. Powell said only a few of the members have dropped out a a a noticeable response by area 15-year-olds. The purpose of the organization is for the youths to learn some of the operations and problems which police come across on a daily basis.

Members meet twice a the second and fourth Wednesdays in a room provided in the basement of i Stroudsburg. This Wednesday they will hold a mock arrest and hearing on a narcotics charge. A George Royle of Stroudsburg will defend the a i i Magistrate Gerald Canfield of Tannersville will conduct the hearing. In the past, the group visited the State Police Academy at Hershey and the state police headquarters at Harrisburg, seeing the narcotics a a among other operations. Troopers recently gave a scuba diving demonstration at the Stroudsburg YMCA and students themselves will actively participate in the near future.

Members will also be given a Red Cross course. Powell is a certified instructor and Hartley is currently taking In the past few months, post members had a class in suspect identification. A few weeks after the class, one of the members spotted a car in a Smithfield Township gas station which looked suspicious. The youth remembered the car and its driver. As it turned out, the car was stolen in Stroudsburg, and the post member was a witness for the prosecution.

State police also showed the explorers how their radar is a a a demonstration regarding the state police helicopter from Hazleton by its pilot. County Sheriff Forrest Sebring has given a class on his duties as have members of the Federal Narcotics Bureau in Philadelphia and the FBI in Scranton. SERFAS LAWNMOWER SRVC.
