second and third grade students of Dorrance Township that will be transported to Slocum Township. The fourth, fifth and sixth grade students residing in Slocum Town ship will be transported to the Dorrance Township School.

He stressed the importance of rapid dissemination of information within a democracy S' ch as ours. A government program of decisive action in this country is based on public opinion formulated through the honest and open exchange of information and ideas, he said. "Always in the past," he noted, "this process has given us a united strength that has overcome the lead time of a dictatorship.

But in the past we always have had the luxuary of time in which to mobilize our capacities." In the age of missiles, this country will not have such a time advantage, Powell observed. There fore, a completely informed people is necessary for the decisionmaking mechanism. "We must, of course, hopefully assume that our big job is to preserve democracy in an age when massive advances in technology threaten to obscure man as man and outmode the governmental forms and social orders so painfully constructed to serve man," he concluded. Powell was introduced by Chairman Gregory Persico. Secretary Anthony C.

Stanziola inducted Guy Guerieri. First Vice President Demo Calvani presided. Next meeting will be the annual Unico outing July 17 at Joseph Capparell's grove, Sugarloaf. 2-Car Crash At Locust, 15th Streets Two cars were damaged exten sively in a collision at 10:50 a. m.

Slow Tanning: The American Medical Association advises blonds to be especially wary of direct, hot sunlight, which brunettes usually can take more easily. 'For both, it points out, it is wise to tan slowly. On the first day, expose skin to sun for 15. to 20 minutes each on face and back.

Increase this each day by about 10 minutes. The skin should begin to darken by the fourth day. Even then, take care. The sun is a risky friend. It is a week's process to build up skin thickening and pigmentation enough to give protection against the burning sun.

Protest Fitelson, incidentally, has gont to court against the ouster from the Rice Township School Board. He declare? the ouster was illegal. The Rice Township School Board stated it had taken that action against Fitelson because the lat ter had missed two meetings. Terms Action 'Silly' The ousted school director also termed "silly" the action the jointure had contemplated in having Slocum Township first three graders go. to Dorrance Township School.

He stated it was only another aspect of the confusion and delay that is occurring within, the jointure. Employment of a teacher at $6,100 at the Slocum School was also termed a ridiculous waste of money by Fitelson. The teacher, Mrs. Helen Whitebread, said Fitelson, could be better used at the $6,100 price at a school with higher grades. Mrs.

Whitebread's salary will be $5,900 plus $200 for administration work at the Slocum School. There will be two other teachers there. She holds a master's degree, Secretary Lear said and the salary is mandated by the State as to year'a of service. Mrs. Whitebread is an elementary teacher, said Lear.

Failure of the jointure directors to have proposed school bus routes prepared for bidding at Monday night's meeting was also criticized by Fitelson. Several school bus operators were present at the meeting ex pecting the routes to be announced but were met with disappointment, said Fitelson. The jointure school budget for the 1962-63 year amounts to with about $73,000 provided for transportation of students, $20,000 above last school year's total. One or more person hoping to bid on the school bus transportation contracts plan purchasing new buses, said Fitelson, but will not be able to do so if the jointure wait too long. By delay, those persons would be unable to acquire the buses in time for school opening.

Lear Explains Delay It was explained by Secretary Lear that some of the delay is attributed to planned opening of the new jointure high school at Moun-taintop in the Fall and determination as to which students will be transported to what schools. It may be only part of the high will be ready for opening in Sc; tember. As it now stands, plans of tV.e transportation committee of the jointure call for using buses to transport secondary student from White Haven and Dennison Township as well as from upper end of Fairview Township to the new school. Dennison grade school will be closed and students who would nbrmally attend there will go to White Haven. The transportation committee has also decided to award school bus contracts on the basis of three year rather than one year, said Lear.

Also, no buses with less than 60-passenger capacity are to be used. Buses over 10 years old can also be used. The committee previously had planned eliminating use by an operator of any bus over 10 years It's expected, said Secretary Lear, that the transportation committee will meet next week and hat possibly school routes and zones will be ready for advertising for bids in two weeks or so. An undercurrent move to have the Central Luzerne County Joint School System merge into an administrative unit with the Wilkes-Barre City School District was reported by Fitelson but discounted by Secretary Lear. Fitelson said that the city school district was a good one while that at Mountaintop was "floundering." 22 m1 MASS PRODUCTION MITMODS AT IOWIST COST 0 PI mm I I ifiazsital Ira Railings Columns Prompt delivery and fatal-lotion by trained craftsmen.

Firemen Douse Blaze Near State Hospital Quick action by three city fire companies who responded to a telephone alarm from the Hazleton State General Hospital at 3:20 p. m.

The practice will be held 7 p. m.

at the Hazle street ballfield, Beaver With the changing times: To those of us who have been driving autos for decades and decades and remember paying fifty cents to get a learners permit, it may be news to know that now average person wanting to be a driver has two examinations and fees of about $10 before getting a permit. The routine now starts with a call at tfie state troopers for an eye test. No charge. Next comes a complete physical by a physician, who must fill out a big application of questions. Standard cost is $5, but some doctors have been charging $10.

The physical reports are sent to Harrisburg. Back comeff an application blank for requesting a permit. Most applicants go to an alderman to have the blank filled out, because it must be notorized. Standard charge is $4 for the application and for the attest. We know the safety precautions are admirable, but it was cheaper and easier to get to be a driver 30 or 40 years ago but then there was only about a thousand cars on the road for every million now on the highways.

Reversal of trend: The current trend of moving to the suburbs has countered a reverse at Wilkes-Barre where the city is trying to have both King's and Wilkes colleges in planning future expansion, consider building a way from the central city business district.

Many of the present college buildings are valuable pieces of property and tax exempt. The courthouse parking lot might be used eventually by King's. Volunteer information: A tour-ist information booth for Allen-town is in operation along the 7th street Pike, just off the Lehigh Valley Thruway.

It will automatically return on the track by merely running the slide down once. Nylon teeth are a continuous spiral filament, available in all fashion colors. Now we need a shoe lace for the men that will not break when you're in a hurry.

Breeze Can Be Posh: The Greeks had good reason to complain of the heat, for the hottest areas in the world are just across the Mediterranean Sea in the deserts of North Africa. One summer day in 1922, the mercury in the little town of El Azizia soared to 136.4 degrees, the highest ever recorded. Before the advent of air conditioning, passengers sailing through the Suez Canal and Red Sea dreaded the searing heat. The only relief was a gentle westerly breeze. Travelers would beg and bribe their ticket agents for a cabin on the port side going out and the, starboard on return.

The agents would stamp these tickets with the abbreviation of "Port Out, Starboard Home," adding a new word to the English languageposh. I's in the dictionary. New characters: The Pennsylvania Highway Information Association has just issued a brochure that introduces Frank Phia. He's the spokesman and representative of the -association PHIA! Get it?) Now when you see, speak or hear from Frank Phia you'll know who he is representing. Frank Phia is about the only one in Pennsylvania who con-, cerns himself solely with highway problems.

He knows how important it is to plan ahead soundly for adequate highways.
