Page 16 i TINY Ds (continued from PAGE ONE) Mayor declined to comment on the reason for the suspen- sion, but he did indicate that it was not related to charges of police brutality against the police officer and subsequently dropped by Frank Lexie. Chief Titus acknowledged that he had suspended officer Dudick but refused additional comment on the action. Ice Is Nice A borough official suggested that. the suspension followed an early morning brawl between Mr. Dudick and an unidentified man at Mr. Dudick’s Machell Avenue apartment. Officer Dudick, who was not on duty at the time of the incident, re- portedly maced and black- jacked the individual in the course of the altercation. Looking for a new activity the whole family can enjoy? rinks | (an. estimated 187%- 20% nationally) is springing up in neighborhood shopping centers alone. Ice skating has something for everyone. Girls specialize in figure-skating. Boys can hockey team. Adults who pre- fer their skating smoother and easier may eventually want to glide into ice danc- ing. The entire family may simply choose to skate around for a few hours just for the fun of it. Any age can play. Three to five-year-olds comprise the youngest children’s class at many rinks. Adults in their forties and fifties are cer- tainly not too old to learn and enjoy this invigorating sport. With some instruction and regular practice, nearly everyone can learn to skate smoothly and gracefully. Don’t be afraid of falling! Falling down on ice is much less: dangerous than falling down ‘in’ your own home be- cause on ice you'll slide as you fall. One of the first things beginners learn is how to fall correctly and get up again. Practicing this a few times does wonders for your confidence. If you are interested in learning to skate well, be- ware of rental skates. These get such hard use that the boots probably won't give your ankles any support. Good and well-fitted equip- ment is so important in ice skating that it is recommend- ed for every member of the family to own his or her skates. Boots and blades should be fitted by a profes- sional at an ice shop rather than a department store or general sporting goods store. Don’t make the mistake of buying . children’s boots too { | big, thinking they'll last long- er. Ice skating boots must fit snugly, or it’s a disaster from the start. Children often out- grow them before they're worn out, but fortunately many ice rink stores will al- low you to trade outgrown skates for a new pair at con- siderable savings. These same stores may be able to sell you a second-hand pair of skates in good condition too. Tell the salesperson just what kind of skating you plan to do, and he will suggest the right equipment for you. Want a new party idea? Rent the ice rink after hours, and invite friends over for a game of Broom Ball. The rink will supply the ball, which looks like a miniature volleyball. Each guest should bring his or her own broom after first wrapping the broom straws in tape all the way down (so straws won't litter the ice and cause un- necessary spills). After skating invite friends back to your house for re- freshments: sandwiches, cookies and a mug of some- thing good and nourishing to drink. One of the nicest drinks to serve hot or cold is Carnation Instant Break- fast. Mixed with fresh whole milk, it gives a delicious en- ergy pickup after your morn- ing practice session of simple stroking and snowplow stops or a late-night game of Broom Ball, It’s never too late for Instant Breakfast, Just as it’s never too late to learn to ice ckate. (continued from PAGE ONE) The coordinated efforts of Dallas School District’s Pupil Personnel Services and the Educational Media Center will continue in the coming months. Plans have been made to utilize the “system’s- capabilities in other -areas of the pupil’s educational growth. Dr. Camp, with the cooperation of Robert Barni, president of the Back Mountain Telecable Company, has developed a means by which programming is to be broadcast not only within a given school, or within the school district, but also within the townships and boroughs of Back Mountain via the telecable system. Peter Skopic, a Sweet Valley farmer, is a much happier man now that his conviction has been reversed. On October 28, 1972, an official from ‘the S.P.C.A. and a con- stable appeared at the Skopic farm. Mr. Skopic was arrested by the constable for starving and neglecting his sheep and taken before Justice of the Peace William Howells, West Pittston. The Justice of the Peace found him guilty and Mr. Skopic was told that he must pay a $100 fine and costs or go to jail. Mr. Skopic paid the fine, not real- izing that payment was ad- mission of guilt. He later en- gaged Attorney Stephen Teller to file an appeal on his behalf with the Clerk of Courts. The issuing magistrate, Mr. Howells, failed to file his trans- cript. No action was taken by the SPCA, so Mr. Skopic received his $123 in return. The whole affair has caused him much grief and he is very glad that the matter has been cleared. Girl Scouts More than 100 million Girl Scout cookies were sold in 1972. Girls 9 years and older practice small business— making the sale, fielding com- plaints, doing paper work, and coping with the red tape —by selling cookies. In gen- eral, cookie profits are split between the troops and their local Girl Scout council. Home Meter Readings Made from Motor Van A cruising motor van, filled with electronic instruments, roams the streets of Peoria, Ill, and ‘reads’ gas and elec- tric meters. Called PURDAX (Public Utility Revenue Data Acqui- sition and Collection System) 3 meters can be read by the van in less time than you can blink an eye. 4 The Central Illin Company is conducting the initial application. The re- cording tape record can be played into the larger com- puters for direct billing. According to CILCO, this trial run should go a long way toward perfecting the system so that it can work in larger areas with less favor- able conditions. Many tech- nological improvements have been made and will be made in this field operation. The early bird gets the space. If you have news, don’t wait! Send or call it in early.
