suitable romantic setting for the
contest in winning the bride. The
wedding provides opportunity for
much interplay among the charac-
ters, while the reception features
novelty acts and entertainment of
all sorts.
According to the president; the
production will not be unique for
two members of Kiwanis, Clyde
Birth and Sherman Harter. Local
residents may remember them
for their roles in the 1949 ‘“Woman-
less Wedding” put on by the
Trucksville Methodist Church.
The Kiwanis president asks the
assistance of local residents who
might have suitable dresses for the
“Petit” male personnel. ' According
to Guyette, the Kiwanis members
and their wives may need help in
filling out the unusual wardrobe re-
quirements. = He closed by saying
“Remember the dress you save,
may warm the heart of some Poor
thespian.”

Take Top Honors
By Debbie Rogers
Debby Rogers and Pat Holdredge,
both of the Cloverleaf Club, each
won top honors at State 4-H Days
last week. Debby won first in the
dog category and Pat was victorious
in Conservation. The following
article is an eye-witness account of
the ‘competition.
Last Tuesday morning at 6:00
your reporter, dog Teri, and Mo-
ther, all left for State College to
attend State 4-H Days. Arriving on |
the Penn State campus at 9:30, we
went to Waring Hall to register.
Other Luzerne County 4-H mem-
bers were due later, so we waited |
and watched the other counties
arrive.
Large numbers of boys and girls
of all ages, some wearing 4-H |
jackets, all carrying suitcases, came
| into the building then dispersed to
the, different dormatories. At about
11 the rest of Luzerne arrived and
we registered.
| The local contingent consisted of |
a number of youngsters from Wap- |
| wallopen and vicinity, plus one
| other from the Back Mountain’ —
' Pat Holdredge, also of the Clover-
leaf Club. After a bit of confusion
| at registration the rest of the
county went on to the dorms and
lunch; while we (reporter, dog and
Mom) went to a nearby motel
| where they allow dogs.
The demonstration contests got
{ under way about 1. Home Eco-
| nomics and some agricultural
rooms, while those concerning live-
stock were held in the experiment-
al barns. Judging contests were
also held in the afternoon.
Although things in general
seemed to go $moothly, your re-
porter ran into more than a little
our demonstration completely! Due
at the building almost two and. a
half hours late. Luckily, one judge in
the dog category was still on hand.
He assured this panic-stricken con-
testant that all was well. Another
judge was found and the demon-
stration went off without a hitch
Later we found that the friendly
and interested judge was a veteren
difficulty. In fact we almost missed !

| kennel owner.
After the demonstration your re-
porter went on a self-conducted
tour of the experimental barns to
watch the judging teams in action.
Then we went to the motel for some
food and a good nights rest.
By 8:30 the next morning we
| were back on campus to attend the
awards ceremony. We made our
way into the crowded auditorium
and found seats with the Luzerne
delegation. Its members expressed
regret that we hadn’t been able to
take part in the night's festivities,
particularly the square dance.
The recognition ceremony started
| with the Pledge of Allegiance and
| the 4-H pledge. Next, we were led
in singing by Mr. Burrows. Our
attempts to sing rounds were quite
| funny and the laughter broke the
strain of waiting. A film on giving
| an effective demonstration followed
| and then what we'd all been waiting
| for — the awards.
The results of the judging con-
tests were given out first. We found
that Luzerne had indeed done it-
self proud, placing ninth in the
hotly contested dairy field and fifth
in the flower category. Our pride
and joy, however, was the vegeta-
ble team which placed first in its
field.
Winners in the demonstration
competition were recognized next.
Both of Luzerne’s victors here came
from the Back Mountain. Pat Hold-
| redge placed first in the conserva-
tion field; your reporter won in dog.
After the recognition program we
left the auditorium and went to.
the dining hall for lunch. We were
rather hoarse from cheering and
proud of our record. After lunch
we were on our way home.
The special thanks of all of Lu-
zerne’s delegates go to the leaders
{ who accompanied us and made the
trip ‘possible. They are Mr. Al
Scalla and Mrs. Janet Miller of the
Cook and Mrs. Ann Seely local lead-
ers. Mrs. Seely, by the way, is a
former Back Mountain resident who
now lives in Drums. =
Thank you, Penn State, for two
wonderful days!

Easter was the best time of my
life. ‘We went to a cabin at Mes-
nali, a little town near Lillehammer
for a week of skiing. 3
We met so many wonderful kids
up there.
other people. All we would do is
stop to rest and we would meet a
whole bunch. We also met more
everytime we went in the little
| shop near the éabin.
There is a lake in front of the
cabin and surrounded by hills on
three sides. There was 1 m of snow
which I am told was practically
nothing. If it had been a normal
winter I would have gone down in
the snow up to my neck. We went
skiing every day, and my face is
as brown as it gets in the summer.

out.
One day we drove up to the foot
of a huge mountain Sjusjoen and
skiied the rest of the way up. It
was so funny for with every foot
up you came down two. Luckily’
there weren't many trees since
Sjusjoen is above the tree line.

were the little four and five years
olds on skiis. They follow along

was attempting to come down the
hill and around g bend when I fell
and as I got up a little fellow of
about six said, “What’s the matter,
can’t you ski?” A Norwegian child
