Roeses have
baby daughter
It was a hectic weekend for
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reese,
Hillside Ave., Huntsville. On
Friday, their first child was
born in the Nesbitt Memorial
Hospital, a delightful girl they
named Kristen Dawn. The
infant’s mother, the former
Susan Fielding, received word
from her doctor that she could
plan on going home Monday.
But on Monday, the 80-year
old barn located a 100 scant feet
from the Reese's apartment
burned to the ground, and Mrs.
Reese was forced to delay her
departure for home.
Mrs. John Fielding, the in-
fant’s maternal grandmother,
reports that both mother and
child are doing very well de-
spite all the excitement and
offers a totally objective de-
scription of her first grand-
child: ‘‘She’s beautiful!”
Kristen’s paternal grand-
father is Robert Roese of
Mooretown, and paternal
grandmother is Mrs. Anna Mae
Klevinski, W. Pittston.
plea for help
is answered
A plea for help was sent forth
Aug. 23 on behalf of a mother
and her two children. Deloris
Desarmo and her daughters,
Deloris 9, and Janett 6, were
threatened with eviction from
their home Aug. 25. Their pleas
were answered by many and
help was soon forthcoming.
Herb and Jodi, Chase,
presented a benefit concert
Aug. 23 at the Jackson Fire
Hall. They have been the
moving force behind the
campaign for” funds for the
family. They have asked The
Dallas Post to extend their
thanks to those who attended
the concert and those who of-
fered funds and services. They
extend a special thank you to
the Rev. Yost; the Rev. Akers;
the Rev. Pillarella; radio
stations WARM and WYZZ;
Harry Holak of the Trucksville
Pharmacy, Z.G.’s Economy
Food Store. The radio stations
cooperated by announcing the
concert palns; others placed
Herb and Jodi’s posters in their
windows or stores. The
clergymen helped secure dona-
tions. Everyone concerned was
pleased with the attention
people gave when made aware
of the situation.
The Desarmo family is still in
need of assistance and their
friends would appreciate any
offers of help in the near future.
Jan Bigelow finds
Twain's typewriter?
No one seems to know for
sure, but at least one person be-
lieves she has discovered Mark
Twain’s Blickenderfer, the
mate to the typewriter on dis-
play at the Mark Twain
museum in the Octagon on the
campus of Elmira College.
Jan Bigelow and her sister-in-
law, Carol Bigelow, were
browsing in their uncle’s an-
tique shop when they saw the
typewriter. Their uncle, Dale
Myers, who owns the shop on
Rt. 309 near Tunkhannock, in-
forme | them that he put the
machine on display as a conver-
sation piece. The person to
whom it belonged was an execu-
tive of a paper company and has
since moved from the area.
The girls were excited over
their find, but Carol was not as
optimistic as Jan, thinking that
even though the typewriter is a
Blickenderfer, the model used
by Mark Twain when he lived at
a farm near Elmira, that prob-
ably it was not the one which be-
longed to Twain. She figured
there must have been many of

Senior High School. She and
Carol, the wife of Merl Bigelow,
are also collectors. Carol has
been collecting cups and
saucers for about a year. Jan
started her collection six years
ago when her uncle Dale gave
her a sterling silver salt dip as a
gift. She now has about 200 salt
dips made of pewter, cut glass,
silver and one of flintstone
which is over 100 years old.
They come from all over the
world, including France, China,
Spain, England and Czechoslov-
akia. She keeps them in an old
silver storage chest but will
soon have to find new quarters
for them. Jan says she has her
eye on a certain cupboard in
their home but her mother
already has a strong claim on it
for her own treasures.
