It took about a minute or two per side to broil the steaks, which certainly were large enough portions for anyone; yet the children finished them quickly and asked. ‘Mom, is there any more steak?” Firemen Schedule Spring Carnival The seventh annual Spring Carnival will be sponsored by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Volunteer Firemen’s Fede- ration, May 19, in Lackawanna County in Sacred Heart of Jesus Hall, Mayfield.

Conyngham lies in one of the prettiest valleys in this section of Pennsylvania. It’s easy to get to, by either Route 80, 81, or 309. You must call. for an appointment anyway. so ask Al Perini or Russ Mahan for exact in- structions from wherever you are. Conyngham Meat Packing Co. handles enormous quan- tities of meat for the general public, selling only quarters or ‘‘bundles’’. The buyer gets whatever comes off the steer-- ‘hanging weight’’--which menas that the normal waste is there, and is trimmed off right before your eyes; but you see what you're getting before it is cut, and you do realize that meat purchased in small packages in a market includes waste in the price. The company is located in a residential dwelling on a tree- lined street. with. an old- fashioned pharmacy on one side and a public library on the other. People shop there by appointment. There's a friendly crew waiting to help. and Perini with his western hat smiles and jokes with the customers. The plant handles only beef--no veal, no pork, no chickens. Just beef. It’s a smooth operation--more beef passes through these portals than almost anywhere you can £0. Not only will they cut the meat to your order, they'll even show you how to pack it in your freezer. There are charts and tips galore. Perhaps Al will even give you some tips on cooking! On the staff are, besides Al, and Russ, Dick Lonzinski, Don Sibley, Al Sibley, Claude Nichlos, Donald Moisey, Ronald Gensell. The secretaries are Donna Robbers, Suzanne Shuman, Beverly McCutchen, Pat Mahan. ® MATTOCKS - WHEELBARROWS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE WE RENT ANYTHING 3 & 7 7’ &7 ¢/ &’ &’ YY &’ {7 Pee Ideal for: EASTER GIFTS, TABLE DECORATIONS, WINDOW DISPLAYS Many other Easter and Beaded Fruit Kits Available JACK'’S HOBBY CENTER Narrows Shopping Center 287-1397 Photo by James Kozemchak Sr. This float, During the ‘next several weeks, nearly 2,500 households, chosen at random, in Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Wyoming Counties will be asked to participate in a survey conducted by The Pennsylvania The Pennsylvania State University.
