tion worker who died in November.
“No one will really know the involvement of
Bill and his wife Gertrude until auction time rolls
around and there are many jobs to be done that
took so many volunteer hours by the Mosses,” Mr.
Anthony concluded.

bought primarily as a tanker to transport water
from streams and lakes to fires in rural areas.

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.

young conservationist
the casual observer might well ask, “What’s a nice
girl like you doing in a job like that?”’
Barbara is typical of a new breed of activists
bent on correcting existing societal ills by working
within the system rather than by tearing it apart at
the seams. 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. %
