Graduate Of Medical School econ- omically a good offer." The Eagles property has been rumored as a site for the new post office for about two years, only to be denied and keep cropping up again.

Last week, Eagles officials confirmed that the postal authorities were interested in the site. The Eagles' home has been a landmark for many years, providing a park-like green spot amidst the hustle and bustle of 'an industrial and commercial section centered on Diamond avenue and North Wyoming street. It at one time was the clubhouse for a recreation association of the old Duplan Silk Mill and used to have a covered balcony connection with the huge mill across Fulton court. Tennis courts and picnic grounds outdoors and a swimming pool indoors made it a favorite recreation spot of the late 1920s and mid-thirties. In recent years, the Eagles cleared many of the trees off one portion of the spacious grounds and instafled a paved parking lot.

Plans for a new Hazleton post office were made known during the days when the then Republican administration had announced a project of building new post offices as one of its devices for providing some work in depressed labor areas and, at the same time, modernize many of its facilities. Despite reports of much searching about for a site, nothing concrete in the way of progress locally had been reported until a few days ago. Anthony Ciotola Head Hazle Park Tennis Club Atty. Anthony Ciotola was elect ed president of the Hazle Park Tennis Club at a meeting last evening. Other officers named are John Hildebrand, vice president; Miss Heddy Hopeck, secretary; and Miss Shirley Miller, treasurer.

Others who attended the meeting were Joseph Oleyar, Herbert Schultz, Norm H. Krapf and Dan Lovrinic. Reports Three Tires. Tubes, Wheels Stolen City police today had under Investigation the theft of three tires, tubes and wheels from a 1957 Ford sedan on the used car lot of Mazzo Motors, South Church street. Police said the theft occurred some time Tuesday night, but was reported yesterday at city hall.

fer made by the Eagles is Phone Cables Damaged In McAdoo Fire Three telephone cables which furnished service to some 65 McAdoo subscribers were damaged this morning about 7:30 by flames shooting skyward from a burning garage at the rear of 25 East Monroe avenue, McAdoo. Robert C. Long, local telephone company manager said the damaged lines were repaired and the service restored within a few Tells Hazleton School Board Of Reservation Relocation of families from depressed areas by the government is not the "proper solution to our Senator Joseph S. Clark has told the Hazleton City School Board. In a letter to School Secretary Stewart S.

Veale, the Senator states his reservations about such government proposals even though he was "indeed honored" in being selected by President Kennedy to introduce the administration bill on manpower development and training. He replied to a letter from the school board in which the directors expressed concern about plans which might have led to wholesale dislocation of family units from depressed areas with the resultant blows to local economies. A further drain on Hazleton's dwindling population, the board wrote, would be a crushing blow and could well signal the end of the "very fine educational program traditionally offered in the Hazleton schools." It was pointed out that dwindling school enrollment here which dipped from, in excess of 8,000 to about 4,600 has combined with increasing operating costs to cause a "staggering increase in our cost-per-pupil." In endorsing the retraining provisions of the proposed program, the board urged that, instead of shifting families, the retraining program be utilized through established schools and that new industry be brought to depressed areas such as has been done in Hazleton. It was pointed out the addition of Federal funds to programs such as CAN-DO could perform near-miracles in developing new industry. The Hazleton School District already has played a big role in re training of workers for new industries through programs in machine shop and other techniques it has established in cooperation with some of the new and the older firms in this area.

The local vocational set up is easily one of the best in the Commonwealth. Senator Clark called the board's letter "most timely" in that he was able to include it in the Congressional Record to support his disclaimer of the relocation provi sion in the President's bill. The Senator adds that reloca tion might be a solution for unem ployment in some remote areas like Southern West Virginia or Eastern Kentucky, but that it is not the solution to Pennsylvania's problems. "My feeling Is that it makes far better sense to bring industry to the workers rather than vice versa," he declared. The school board letter, along with regional news stories of the protests about relocation, were entered into the Congressional Record by Senator Clark when he introduced the bill.

At that time, he told the Senate that he had not had a chance to study in detail the Presiden's bill and he wanted it understood that he was not endorsing every single section or element in it because witnesses might indicate later the desirability of some changes. Among the provisions on which he reserved judgment are those which would authorize a Federal contribution to the relocation of unemployment workers.

He said he thought present legislation to increase the trailer length limit from 35 feet to 40 "has a lot of merit." PEANUT BUTTER CHIFFON CAKE 65c Made with rich, fresh peanut butter in batter and icing. SPECIAL Hi! A price of $100,000 has been set on a property in this city in which the Post Office Department is interested as a possible site for the new Hazleton Post Office, it was learned today by The Plain Speaker. A spokesman at the Philadelphia Regional Office of the Postal Department admitted in response to an inquiry sparked by reports circulating here, that the $100,000 price tag had been put on the property which is the home of Hazleton Aerie 193, Fraternal Order of Eagles, on North Wyoming street. It had been reported that the value of the Eagles' property considered as basis for the price offering was submitted to postal authorities last week.

Flks Not Involved At that time, it was asserted by someone in the Washington office that the Department also was considering the Hazleton Elks Lodge home and property on East Broad street. Local Elks officials denied that they had entered into any such negotiations and it is bcljeved that the name of the organization entered into speculation pn the possible site because of properties available in its immediate vicinity. A postal department spokesman said today that two or three of the locations being considered are located in the Laurel Hill Terrace and East Broad street section where the Elks are located in a new home built just a few years ago.
