The 27th annual meeting of the Back Mountain Memorial Library Association was held at the library annex Jan. 27. Yearly reports from standing i given and new board members were elected, with Dr. D. Craig Aicher sub- mitting nominations recom- mended by the nominating committee. Elected to the board of direc- tors for terms of three years were Homer B. Moyer, Donald S. Anthony, William E. Price, Mrs. Richard Hogoboom, Mar- garet, Wood, Mrs. Raymond Martz. Merton E. Jones, was elected for a two-year term, and Mrs. Richard Maslow and Mrs. Lee Eckert were elected for one year terms, Officers will be elected a the next board meeting. ¥ The financial report present- ed at the meeting again demon- strates how much the library depends on the annual auction for its support. In 1971 operating expenses were $33,000. Income from sources other than the auction was $14,000. This differ- ence was made uo by a very successful auction this year, headed by John Casner. Due to the steady increase in operating expenses the tenta- tive budget for 1972 is $35,000. As other normal income re- mains approximately the same, the difference will again, hope- fully, be made up from auction proceeds. The chairman of this year's auction is Clarke E. Bit- tner, who will be assisted by William F. Umphred and Frank J. Bevevino, co-chairmen. Mrs. J. I. Alexander reported there were 350 donors to Friends of the Library, who contributed $1338.50. Mrs. Clarence J. Ankner, president of the book club, re- ported a membership of 206, with an income of $756. The club purchased 167 books at a cost of $714.63. Librarian Sue Davern reported that approximately 3,151 active borrowers borrowed 59,349 books and periodicals during the past year, a figure which represents an increase in circulation of 1,357. Volunteer workers provided the needed manpower for many improvements in library service, she stated, and the library's facilities were utilized more fully than ever before for community ac- tivities—including story hours, visits by school classes and informal story-movie sessions for Fresh-Air Fund youngsters. Mrs. Davern said that she considered the attraction of many new borrowers to be the library’s primary achievement during the past year. Mr. Moyer, board president, stated that the library’s main problem is still financial. Each year operating expenses in- crease, he pointed out, making it more and more essential to have a successful auction. The auction committee has submitted a recommendation for a new site, and is currently engaged in developing plans for a suitable layout. As soon as these plans have been formally approved, the new location will be announced. ¥ Women of the WSCS of Shavetown United Methodist Church will begin their Easter egg project March 2 and con- tinue each Thursday during the month of March.

AND THE { Hi-Lite Lounge & Restaurant peas, etc. : Page 11 You can be sure the coldest weekend of the year is always the weekend of the Boy Scouts Polar Bear outing at Camp Acahela. This year was no exception. On the weekend of Jan. 15 and 16, camp ther- mometers registered a frigid minus-15 degrees. But that never seems to daunt the spirits of the stout-hearted lads of Troop 225 of Jackson Township. Under the capable leadership of Jody Carey, they brought home a first place award for the time {rials for sleds and a second place in the Klondike Pete Contest. The scouts par- ticipating with Jody were Warren Gensel, Scott Sher- wood, Bryan Naylis, David Yankowski, and John Stubeda Jr. The scoutmaster, John Stubeda Sr., had as his assistants Bill Wisely, John Kochan, and Dwight Swart- wood. A number of other exciting things are taking place in this active troop. Calvin Gensel has been invited to spend the coming summer as an in- structor for patrol leaders at the Schiff Scout Training Camp in Morristown, N.J. This is quite an honor and the first time a scout from the Penn Mountain Council has been so chosen. Jody Carey has taken on another big responsibility.

Mexico City, with its many colorful sights, was their major attraction. As a side trip, they visited two historically in- teresting Mexican villages, Taxco and Cuernavaca. Perhaps the highlight of their trip was the bull fight, where men attired in 15th century costumes pitted the courage of the matador against the prowess of the bull. Sundays, in Mexico are gay festivals, a day for promenading in the park, strolling musical groups, ballets, and the farmer’s market. It was a trip they will never forget. On the Pacific coast of Mexico, Dick and Marilyn Maslow attended a business convention in Acapulco. The five days of their stay in this sunny climate were delightful. No doubt they took every op- portunity to brush up on their tennis as Dick has just accepted the job of president of the Valley Tennis and Swim Club.
