Janet Fielding, a librarian with the Montrose School District and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fielding Sr., Suton Road, is spending six weeks touring the United States by car. She is accompanied by Diane Quick, also a teacher in Montrose. They have visited in Rapid City, S.D., Yellowstone National Park, and friends in Oregon. They are now at the home of Diane’s parents in Cor- vina, California. It is a pleasure to welcome to our .community Richard and Renee Spath formerly of Rye, N.Y.

They are the parents of two sons, Gregg, who will re- turn to the University of Rochester this fall as a senior, and John, who will enter Wyom- ing Seminary as a junior. We extend our sympathy to Robert Weaver whose mother, .Alice Weaver, died in Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Aug. 3. Mrs. Weaver had been evacuated to the Weaver home on Sutton Road the day of the flood from her home in the Chapin Apart- ments. During the last week that the Jackson Fire Hall was used for an evacuation center, some of our neighbors worked incre- dibly long hours preparing and serving meals and just generally making those who had lost so much feel a little more comfortable. Among those. who deserve a special commendation are Dorothy Zerfoss, Irene Shaffer, Marge Zbick, Frank Fabian, Al Poholek and Don Shaffer. There are no doubts many more people who volunteered their time and talents about whom we do not know. To them we add another special thanks. This is why we feel our Jackson Town- ship neighbors are the best people on earth. We also extend sympathy to Margaret Billow, Chase Manor, in the death of her brother, Joseph Hretciv, Aug. 4, at her home.

However, one group of energetic women have begun a rather unique project. For the past three years Peggy Weaver has conducted classes in decoupage. Not only did her students learn about art but they acquired a knowledge of working with wood, paint, glue, varnish and furniture making in general. When it became evident that some members of the class would have to discard valuable pieces of furniture be- cause they had split and warped from the ravages of the flood, the Back Mountain members of Mrs. Weaver's class decided to put this knowledge to good use. As the women fanned out to the various homes to pick up whatever might be salvaged, they were met with stares of disbelief. Just the thought that someone cared enough to try to save a chair here or a table there was a great morale booster. In all, over 23 chairs, nine tables, and several chests of drawers and commodes have been brought to the Weaver home on Sutton Road. Every Legion Auxiliary Cancels Picnic Barbara Laning, president of the Daddow-Isaacs American Legion Auxiliary, has an- nounced that the annual picnic has been cancelled for this year. The picnic was originally scheduled Aug. 17 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Harvey, Dallas.

Main St. Not associated with any other photographer using the same name E Tuesday and Thursday the women who have volunteered their time and talents to this re- storation project with Mrs. Weaver are Mesdames Thomas Shelburne, Robert Hughes, Clifford Troup, Ed- ward Schellenberg Jr., Arthur Strayer, John Ruggles, John Robinson Jr., and Robert Graham. During the spring session of Mrs. Weaver's classes, the art of stencilling Hitchcock chairs was taught. Thirty chairs were hand decorated in the classes. Each chair was then covered with several coats of varnish to protect its delicate gold leaf. As amazing as it may seem, one of these chairs survived being submerged in over eight feet of water at the home of Mrs. George Nicholson Jr., on Yeager Avenue in Forty Fort. The many coats of varnish which Mrs. Nicholson had applied with such loving care had served as a perfect shield to repel the muddy Susquehanna. It remains to be seen how many pieces can be restored to their original beauty by these friends, but they are hopeful that most of the things they are working on can be saved. They know that to see a familiar chair or a family heirloom table resurrected from the junk heap will mean much to those who must throw so many other things away at this time. .CHILDREN WOMEN MEN 138 WYOMING AVE.

Among the many modes of goofing off to be explored will be: television viewing, camping and fishing, daydreaming, un- tangling string for fun, planting things and traveling to exotic places without leaving the kitchen. According to McClay and Jacobs, an initial problem in putting the programs together was to define ‘goofing off.” Several people wrote in to give their ideas on the subject. “I know a guy who filled in all the ‘Os’ in the New Testament with his ball-point pen,” said YURISH Music Center We'll be back located at 62 Stark St. - meanwhile we’re Hudson 823-5390 HF: one correspondent. “That might be called goofing off.” “‘Goofing off is putting sticks in mail boxes,” wrote a lad from Boise, Idaho. “Last winter I built a 12-story snow man,” said a boy in Plushkit, Nebraska. But McClay and Jacobs re- jected all these ideas. They went their own way and estab- lished a theme as daring as the original Declaration of Inde- pendence: happiness can be extremely tiring—sit still and let happi- ness pursue you.’’ During the series the goofing off theme is illustrated with a number of animation tech- niques ranging from tabletop photography to still photos and cut-outs.
