sew suite) sisi Sa ee a William J. Umphred general chairman of the 27th Annual Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction, according to an auction release, and will be responsible for co- ordinating the affair July 6, 7, and 8. As general chairman, Mr. Umphred heads an organization of over 35 Back Mountain resi- dents and several area service clubs working together to stage the three-day fund-raising event. An initial meeting with chairman of auction com- mittees has already been held, according to Mr. Umphred, with a continuous plan of action being developed to assure the event’s success. Currently, committees are involved in laying out the ground plan for the auction grounds, located behind the library on Main Street, Dallas, and will soon begin the solicita- tion of goods for both the auc- tion booths and the auction block. As in previous years, Mr. Umphred said, booths will sell books, candy, refreshments; antiques, plants and flowers, odds ’'n ends, and home baked goods. 3 All types of items will go over the block, Mr. Umphred said, including new goods and an- tiques. The traditional Children’s Auction, where bids start in the pennies, will be held Saturday morning. Specific times for each auction event will be released at a later date as details are finalized. As the auction develops; according to Mr. Umphred, committee members will be contacting area residents for help, either in the form of donations of goods for the auction, for help in manning booths, or simply in the form of asking people to attend the auction in support of its fund- raising efforts. Paul M. Yuknavich is going to run for the regional vice- presidency of Pennsylvania Jaycees. At the moment he is running unopposed, with re- gional Jaycee backing. Paul is a “lifer” at the State Correctional Institution d¥Dallas. Win or lose he sets a first. By his calcula- tions, Paul’s the first prison re- sident to run for a state office. He reports that he’s serving a life sentence because of his part in an armed robbery that resulted in a murder in 1962. Pennsylvania state law holds Paul as responsible for that murder, as they do the actual killer, even though he locates himself a block and a half away at the time of the killing. The Ashley native is unique in Jaycee aspirations. He is the license that all unionized barbers carry and he works in the dental lab at SCID, doing prothetic construction and repair, as gildsll as assisting chairside. As president of the £7ID Centurion of the hapter Jaycees, Hful works - out Publicity deadline is Monday at 5 p.m. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. We want to hear from UNUSUAL JEWELRY AND GIFTS Come in Look Around eight hours a day on Jaycee business. From 8 a.m. to noon he does dental work. Noon to 9 p.m. is reserved for Jaycee affairs, with time out for eating. The Centurion chapter at SCID now claims 128 regular mem- bers (18 to 35 years of age), and 62 associates (36 and older). Paul’s position takes him outside the gates of the In- stitution an average of three times a month, to Jaycee special meetings or speaking engagements. The regional vice-presidency would make Paul even more active in state Jaycee affairs. Mandatory to the position would be three visits to each chapter in region 10, made up of the Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hones- dale, Carbondale, Abington, and Centurion chapters. As regional vice-president, Paul would hope to add five or six more chapters. If he should win, Paul would also be required to attend four or five regional meetings, four district meetings, four state board meetings, eight executive committee meetings, as well as some seminars. One of the Centurion chap- ter’s projects is raising money for the kidney transplant of Richard Norkunas. Paul got the idea upon reading about Mr. Norkunas’ plight in an area newspaper.

Next they came up with the idea of a sale. Resident Ronald | A. Butler, executive vice president of the Centurion Jaycees, was chairman of a sale of fried chicken to residents. It was advertised that the pro- ceeds would go to the Richard Norkunas Kidney Transplant Fund, and residents bought enough to make $110. for the fund. They spent $1.75 from the pay they receive for their daily jobs for each chicken dinner plus orange drink. Centurion chapter is up for a number of state awards at the state convention in Allentown, May 3, 4, 5, and 6. Paul also expects to get three individual awards at the affair. The awards mostly stem from the huge growth Paul and his group have achieved in enrollment. Paul will also be awarded the Jaycees Presidential Award of Excellence by United States Jaycee president, Sam Wiener. Paul's afraid that he will have to accept that award in absentia because the U.S. national con- vention will be held in Minneap- olis The local chapter recently received a grant through Operation Threshold, a Jaycee sponsored alcoholic program. They are the only correctional chapter to receive such a grant. bn A A aE MA eo PEE 8m ma i Boma oa an Ap iy wing Nomis eg »om a oli Xialiaiy Music.
