The Herald The Sewickley Valley's Home-News Weekly VOL. 09, No. 47 SEWICKLEY, PENNSYLVANIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1963 Price Tea Ceu** As a grief-stricken country starts to return to normal living after the horrible events of last week-end, are the good resolutions made by most Americans to be carried out or gradually forgotten? Were the prayers which Were offered up in the memorial services in many churches really sincere or were they just temporary things, bom of the anger and frustration of the moment? Did the people who attended those memorial services go through fear, pr because their consciences bothered them that such a thing could happen in this so-called Christian country and they felt somehow to blame? V Are the many brave words just words, or are they to be followed by action? V . - Are Americans to become more conscious, of their civic and patriotic duties or are we to slide back into our former indifference? Our record in Sewicldey wasn’t so good in the November election, when only 2,042 of the approximately 3,200 registered voters went to the polls to select our local, country and state officials and decide on which amendments should be made to our constitution. Some of the other boroughs and townships had a little better voting record, but none approached 100%. Are we prepared now to stamp out the evil in this country by ceasing to tolerate narcotic peddlers, number writers, gamblers and others whose operations finance big crime, and also: oy ceasing to tolerate the judges who let them off with light sentences? Are we willing to stop setting bad examples for the youth of the land? Has this monstrous tiring shocked us into backing up our law enforcement agencies with sufficient moral support, as well as financial support, to do the job they .are supposed to do? Or did John Fitzgerald Kennedy die in vain? What’s Doin' Friday, November 29 - St. James School auditorium at 7:30, C V O MEETING followed by a DANCE. For high school age Catholics and guests. $t00.

Solicitor William Howard Colbert told council that a new agreement would be necessary if the County is to be requested to widen the road on the hill side. The widened road would still he in the right-of-way. The County stopped the widening at the borough line when residents complained that it would take part of theif lawns. After the protest, the Country found that the old agreement with the borough had expired and the Job was halted, Mr. Colbert reported that the plan was wrong and the engineer didn’t read the plans correctly, so, when the contractor arrived and started putting stakes in the yards, the property owners objected. Vice President M. S. Schoetz, who presided, wondered if a wider road would attract more traffic. Councilman Larson said if the property owners didn’t want the road widened on ¿Be hill side, they should let council-men know. ^ * With only $200 left in t h e Fire protection account in- the budget, council transferred $1,000 from the $9,000 unappropriated account, to* pay for fire alarms for the remainder of the year. There were three fires in October and one in November, which would have exhausted the present appropriation. In addition, there was another minor grass fire which Chief Baltz; put out with an extinguisher. Council Was told that the firemen were fortunate to stop the fire at the McIntosh's before it crossed the road or it would have probably burned over everything at least to the top of the hill. Louie's Amoco station was given the contract to plow the principal streets and lanes in the borough on 24-hour call, for $8 an hour, for truck and driver. The former ■■■ contractor didn't want to plow snow this year. Only the streets will be ploughed, not the sidewalks, council directed the street committee. A suggestion whs made that the borough consider purchasing a 4-wheel drive jeep with a snow blade for snow removal and leaf collection, but no action was taken. - A registered letter will be sent to Joseph R. Angros, notifying him that unless he secures a building permit for a carport, positive action will be taken, by council. The committee viewed the carport and decided it did, not comply with the permit as issued, Secretary Wylie was requested to check the minutes to see if there was a record of the Zoning Board of Adjustment's decision in the addition to the Ralph Massey home. Mr. Massey informed Mr. Wylie that he didn't have a copy of his plan and the bor-pugh doesn't have one in his files. Solicitor Colbert reported that no definite plans have yet been formulated for the future of the Baker property. Bills were ordered paid from the general fund amounting to $2,863 the largest being $1,105 to Sewicldey borough for sewage service and three fires at $200 a blaze. $595 was spent from gasoline tax money on streets. The bank balance was reported as $25,491. Taxes collected on propetry amounted "to $1,198; debt service, $224; current wage taxes, $451 and delinquent wage taxes, $267, for a total of $1,976.

One of the school signs in the middle of Beaver Road was knocked over, damaging a headlight of the car involved, which didn't stop. • Justice of the Peace Guilot reported 4 cases settled with $95 in state fines and 20 with $170 in borough fines. ; 16 of the 20 were for speeding and the other four for ignoring traffic lights.
