Berwick Fire Chief George Yoagy said the fire, apparently caused by faulty wiring on the DeMent's side of the house, also scorched the neighboring home of Mrs. Alfred Yeager. Stanton Warner, one of some 40 Berwick firemen reporting with the community's five fire companies to fight the blaze, was injured.

The work, extending nearly 10 miles, will make Route 309 a divided four-lane highway between Philadelphia and Allentown except for a short link between Coopers-burg and Lanark, Lehigh County. That five-mile link, which will cost $1.4 million to build, is expected to be under contract this summer. An additional 32 miles from the Allentown area north to Hometown will be modernized as a four-lane highway during the next five years under Pennsylvania Highway Commission's improvement program.

The cost is estimated at $18 million.

S. Route 6 from Tunkhannock to Towanda, Bradford County, and with U. S. Route 220 from Towanda to a point beyond Sayre, the northern terminus was cut back to Tunkhannock to eliminate the dual signing. Dual-signing, or the designation of a single highway by two or more route number, is being abolished as much as possible under the nation's new program to make driving easier for motorists.

Busiest in Kingston The busiest point of the highway is on Wyoming Avenue, Kingston, where Route 309 joins U. S. Route 11 for about one-half mile. Average daily traffic at that point is 23,000 vehicles. The least busy portion of the highway, 2,800 vehicles daily, is that section where the roadway passes from Luzerne County into Wyoming County.

Officially designated as the "Joseph W. Hunter Highway" by the state legislature 20 years ago, the highway honors Pennsylvania's first highways commissioner. Route 309 includes portions of roads dating back to colonial times. Foremost among them are the historic Bethlehem Pike and, upstate, the original Tory Path to New York State. Mostly in Luzerne The largest portion of the highway, 41.67 miles, is located in Luzerne County.
