PAGE FOURTEEN camper oO A 13-year-old Dallas boy received the Camper of the Year trophy at a Camp Kresge reunion dinner recently. Albert Stredny, son of Mrs. Edna Stredny, Demunds Road, Dallas, received the trophy, the highest honor awarded to any camper, from Donald I. Bell, youth and camping director of Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Young Stredny was one of four campers who had been named previously as honor campers during a 7-week camp- ing season. Albert attended Camp Kresge during the last two weeks in July. The 18th annual Camp Reunion was held in YM-YWCA building, Wilkes-Barre. The highlight of the session was the awarding of trophies for the 1970 season honor campers from which the Camper of the LIBRARY Dallas youth f year Year was picked. Other cam- pers were Eric Garner, Dallas; Alan Williams, Shavertown; and Nino Sartini, Wilkes-Barre. Also attending the reunion was William Bispels, Shaver- town, an honor camper from the 1969 season. Grant Davis, Dallas, camp song leader for the 1970 camp season, led the singing of songs at the reunion. Albert is a student at Girard School and College, Philadel- phia, where he is in the seventh grade. His younger brother Thomas also attends the same school. Mrs. Stredny reported that her son is typical of the average American boy, and is very sports-minded. Camp Kresge is on Beaver Lake and is a resident camp of the Wilkes-Barre YMCA.

When one learns that she is in fact an environmental activist deter- mined to turn Washington's priorities upside down, WEIS MARKET (continued from PAGE ONE) and pastries is not a figment of the shopper’s imagination: one corner of the supermarket is taken up by a small bakery complete with ovens and attractive display cases. The baked goods taste as delicious as they smell. According to Robert Weis, vice president and treasurer of Weis markets, the series of wood- stained wall panels which comprise the store’s interior represent a unique approach to market decor. The Dallas market is the first new store to utilize this dramatic concept, Mr. Weis stated. The market’s exterior, too, is attractive and different. A mansard roof made of a new type of aluminum facing displays, on close scrutiny, a dark color variation which is quite handsome. The new Weis market is the first business to open in the Dallas Village Shopping Center. A drug store operated by the Stapinski chain is expected to open April or shortly thereafter, and space for a number of smaller stores exists beneath the shopping center’s single roof. Store manager is Thomas Mertz, former manager of the Weis store in Dundee; he will soon reside ‘at Harveys Lake. manager is Harry Romig, a Dallas resident.

If the Establishment poses no threat to her, it’s probably because she understands so com- pletely the intricate workings that make it tick. A panelist at the recent Clean Air Workshop for residents in the Luzerne-Lackawanna area, Barbara had listeners sitting on the edges of their chairs as she rattled off tales of behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing that went into getting the Clean Air Act of 1970 through Congress. Like a chapter straight out of The Perils of Pauline, the bill (which calls for drastic changes in the design of air polluting automobile engines by 1976) was very nearly killed when Detroit’s big guns appeared en masse to lobby for amendments which would have gutted the tough legislation. Veteran observers of the Washington scene had predicted an early death for the bill when conser- vationists, including Barbara and her fellow workers at Environmental Action, Inc., blew the whistle on the automobile manufacturers’ gctivi- ties by turning the spotlight of public opinion on them. Even the Administration, which had refused to comment publicly on the bill during the battle, tried to squash it at the last minute by sending out a “secret letter” listing several reasons why it should be defeated. The activists obtained a copy of the letter, mimeographed it and sent copies to persons in positions to help their cause. When the bill finally passed and President Nixon signed the legislation— without inviting the bill’s sponsor Edmund Muskie to the signing cere- mony—he characterized the Clean Air Act as#igni- ficant accomplishment of his administration. A 1967 graduate of the University of yo Barbara tested her political wings as a mer®er of Robert Kennedy’s team in 1968. She got ‘‘turned on to conservation’’ after spending a year at the Con- servation Foundation in Washington and was the Mic-West’s Earth Day co-ordinator last year. Barbara joined Environmental Action Inc., last year and is currently writing a book with several fellow conservationists titled Earth Tool Kit, to be published this spring by Simon and Shuster. She is a staff member of Environmental Action, a bi-weekly publication which attempts to “focus concern on the environmental crisis.” What is a nice girl like Barbara doing in a job like that? Her work, she says with a gleam in her eye, is more than a job—it’s a life style. % CO EA IE Org FIERA IE rg ITEM SA NE By YOR DONT FORGET TO REMEMBER QO oO9 (> OO Coa ed BOXED VALENTINE CANDIES 69¢ TO $25.00 ‘When Her Sweet Tooth Says Candy, FANNY FARMER - Her Wisdom Tooth Says SCHRAFFT’S - CANDY CUPBOARD - CAVANAUGHS Kids Valentine Cards i { SPECIAL SCHOOL DAYS} ¢{ PACK. 57 for 89¢ GIANT ASSORTMENT 59 FAN PACK 39¢ | BIG VALUE 59 ‘Girls to send Boys to send 49¢ bd 49¢ K anny Farmer Special SOLID MILK CHOCOLATE HEARTS { 85¢ They're Pretty Valentine Cards ¢ FOR Hundreds To Choose From 10¢ TO $5.00 | Nice to send EVERYONE J Phone 675-5121 y i QUICK SERVICE EVANS DRUG STORE Prescription Pharmacy Shavertown EASY PARKING Phone 675-3366 CORONER Poy FFD TID ITO EAT II IIR an pa tli mn Lamm SP i PY
