Local People Were On Candid Camera Sunday
Betty Henkel of Edgeworth Has Difficulty * In Securing Date For Group
Almost every television set in this area was turned to Channel 2 on Sunday night at ten to see the surprise of local people when they were told, “Smile, You’re on Candid Camera”.
Mrs. George F, (Betty) Henkel of 218 Pine Road, Edgeworth, had the most surprised expression when she attempted to make a date for a dinner and movie for the Little Garden Club while Allen Funt and Allen King were behind the counter of the Sewickley Motor Inn. Every time she suggested centerpieces decorated with birds, the two men hurst into roars of laughter and made, comments about bird-watchers MrsT Henkel was concentrating on
dates and the arrangements for the meeting, so when she was finally informed that she was on Candid Camera, her surprised expression was a gem! ■
The program opened with a shot pf the SewicHey Motor Inn sign and then a view of the attractive exterior of the Inn. Inside the lobby, Teddy Brunette of Moon Clinton Road, owner of Teddy’s Two Hour Cleaners, near the former roller rink in Moon Township, was shown on the ’phone asking if the iilant could dry clean and press a mass of soggy $100-bills, without shrinking them. Assured by Bemiee Stokes, the presser, that she could press them without shrinking, he passed on that information to Allen Funt, who was wearing dark
glasses.
His expression when Mr. Funt took off the glasses and he realized who he was talking to was priceless. That expression probably was the reason Mr, Brunette was chosen by the editors over Bob Angros, of Angros Cleaners and Henry Moreau of Herz-bruns, both of. whom were put through the same routine.
A tall dark man, who arrived without a reservation, was also given the ‘works’ by the team behind the counter, but he replied that he was a bachelor, since his wife was at home, when asked if he could share a room.
Another guest, H. Gibson, Jr., of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, objected to paying a miscellaneous bill of $2.20

Edgeworth To Ask State Approval of Traffic Light
Borough To Intervene In Suit Opposing The Prevailing Wage Law, Act 442
Edgeworth Borough council, at its regular meeting on Monday, March 11, decided to ask the State Highway Department for permission to install a regular traffic light at Hazel Lane and the Ohio River Boulevard so that motorists could get out of the business establishments on the south side of the boulevard; passed resolutions opposing the curtailment of income tax deductions for local taxes, voted to intervene in the suit opposing the Prevailing Wage Law, Act 442 and recommended to residents that they join with the borough in having trees pruned in front of their
homes.
Councilman T. A. Standish, Jr,, reported that boulevard traffic is getting worse and wors.e, especially in the rush hours, making it difficult for motorists who pull into the new gas stations and restaurant on the south side of the boulevard, to get back on the boulevard without endangering their lives and cars. There have been accidents' and council fears more unless the constant streams of traffic are halted long enough for motorists to pull on to the boulevard. At present, the only chance they have is to'wait for a'motorist to trip the treadle at Quaker Road, or sneak out when there is a break.
Manager Robert Lunn stated that tlie Allegheny County Traffic Commission had made • a survey and strongly recommended a traffic light at the Hazel Lane intersection with tho boulevard. Mr.' Lunn stated that he would like council’s permission to get the State man down and explain die situation before an application is made for a light at Hazel Lane. Only regulation type, not a treadle type, will correct tho situation, A request will also ho made to turn the Quaker Road light to a regular, instead of treadle typo, in order to. stop east-bound traffic at intervals.
A resolution opposing President Kennedy’s tax reform bill, ns it refers to curtailment of income tax deductions for local taxes, was passed and will be sent to Congressman Corbett, tho two state senators and the Allegheny County Association- of Boroughs. The provision proposed by the President, would limit deductions for
