Joe Maniskas
remodels salon
~The shocking pink “curtains
which enliven Dallas’ Main
Street are the window dressing
for Maniskas’ recently re-dec-
orated beauty salon.
Hot pink—shocking pink—
pale pink—all the shades of
pinks one can imagine set the
tone for the attractive shop. The
walls are paneled in pink,
set off by French provincial
wallpaper touched with gold.
Gently psychedelic pink and
lavender wall hangings frame
the windows on the inside, and a
colorful floral arrangement
graces the window’s center.
The decor is not all that’s new
in the beauty salon. Linda Kel-
logg, a graduate of Port Al-
legheny High School and the
Empire Beauty School in
Wilkes-Barre, joined Joe’s staff
about three weeks ago, just in
time for the grand opening.
The attractive new surround-
ings make Joe Maniskas’
beauty shop a delightful place in
which to spend a couple of
hours, and old-time customers
will be happy to learn that it’s
still the place to go to get the
best shampoo in town!

Classes I, II, III, and IV.

ever, it is penalized five points.

delicious hot or cold.
Ellen Misson’s cooking
INSPIres warm memories
Tales of Ellen Misson’s home
cooking have reached such
legendary proportions that
there are young boys grown to
manhood who still insist they’ve
never tasted food as good as
hers. While her four sons were
growing up—one of whom is
Kingston Township tax
collector, Vern Pritchard—Mrs.
Misson’s home was the hub of
all neighborhood activities, and
an important part of the fun
there was the food she served.
Mrs. Misson recalls that her
doors were never locked when
she was raising her family in
Shavertown. One youngster, she
remembers, would come in,
help himself from the always-
full cookie jar, and fall asleep
contentedly on her sofa. Still
another little fellow com-
mandeered two bunches of just
purchased bananas and a
basket of strawberries from
Mrs. Misson’s kitchen and
assumed a hero’s status among
the neighborhood kids when he
graciously passed the fruit
around.
Although her sons and her
sons’ friends are grown now,
Ellen Pritchard Misson—she
married Harley Misson in 1942,
four years after her first
husband died—is fondly
remembered by all of ‘her”
many boys. (Many Back
Mountain men have good
reason to hold her husband,
Harlev. in high esteem as well—
during World War II he wrote
weekly letters to each of the
Dallas area servicemen
stationed overseas, tucking a
stick of gum inside each en-
velope as a touching remem-
brance from their home town).
The Missons’ gentle charm
and hospitality extends to the
present time, and Mrs. Misson
comments that they are rarely
home alone over the weekends.
Generally, Mrs. Misson says, a
niece will bring a friend along to
spend Saturday and Sunday or
any of their truly “grand” total
of 17 grandchildren and six
great grandchildren may pop in
for a visit. We suspect their
visitors enjoy the warmth which
flows from the Missons’ hearts
even more than the delicious
food that comes from their
kitchen!
