Davis Volun- teer Fire Company will come to a close July 11, when campaign committee members begin to collect the coin cards that were left at homes in the area 20 weeks ago. So that donors will not be inconvenienced, collection calls will be made during the hours of 1p.m. and 5 p.m.; calls will con- tinue until all cards are collect- ed. Proceeds from the drive will be used to purchase equipment and maintain the fire hall. If the goal is realized, state campaign = committee officials, the fund drive will go down as the most successful ever undertaken by the J.R. Davis Volunteer Fire * Company. 4 Generations of Sheporaitis’ Gather Anthony Sheporaitis, a humble Lithuanian farmer who migrated to Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the century with his wife, Martha, and family, would have been well pleased: Gathered together at the Har- veys lake home of Mr. and Mrs. William Sherksnas over the recent July 4th holiday were more than 70 of his descendants. The reunion, which continued from Friday through Monday, represented the first time the entire family had been together since 1933. The gathering was graced by the presence of Anna Oberaitis, 86, only living child of the elder Sheporaitis. Her recollections of Wilkes-Barre during the early 1900’s and vast store of Lith- uanian folk songs enthralled her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The reunion was organized by Mrs. William Sherksnas, daughter of the late Charles and Agnes Sheporaitis. She reports that some family members stayed at motels, others in campers, and that her own living room floor was ‘“wall-to- wall kids.”” ‘“We had a wonder- ful time,” reflects Mrs. Sherks-, nas, ‘‘although it togk ugthe full three days ‘to ‘get’ everyone sorted out, to find out who be- longed to whom!” Highlights of the holiday in- cluded boating and swimming at Point Breeze and dinner at the Wahoo Inn. New officers elected following the dinner were Jule Kutis, Niagara Falls, president; Mrs. Al Kutis, Niagara Falls, secretary; Mrs. Sherksnas, treasurer. ‘Cherry Hill, N.J., will be the site of the next reunion in 1973. Prizes were awarded to Charles Sheporaitis of Mt. Clemens, Mich., for having traveled the furthest to attend: to Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Kutis, Niagara Falls, for being the longest married couple present (42 years); to Mr. and Mrs. Ted Naugle, Breslow, Pa., for being the most recently married couple in attendance (three years); to Krista Renee Rice, Welsburg, N.Y., youngest (13 months). Mrs. Oberaitis was not only the oldest family member present but also had the largest family in attendance (six of nine children). Shortly before the depar- ture of many of the guests Monday morning, the Rev. Pat- rick Healey read Low Mass for deceased members of the family at-Our Lady of Viewry Church. +* The Dallas Post (J.
