A Pei ti vo Pe Et rp PTC Page Bg From The Librarian and Fun A new book by Helen Hoke titled ‘Jokes And Fun’ has recently been added to the shelves of the children’s annex of the Back Mountain Memorial Library. The children will be pleased to learn there is a new joke book available. Joke books are so popular with the children, it is difficult to keep them on the shelves. The book is filled with all kinds of fun. There are the regular jokes. riddles. tongue- twisters. rhymes. limericks and odds and ends. There is even a giggle game at the end of the book. Helen Hoke has wrillen many joke books and this new one is just as lively and as much fun as her previous books. For all the jokehook fans, this is one you won't wanl 10 miss. A new book by Russell Kozuki, “Junior Karate’ is now on the shelves with the other karate books. This has become a very popular subject which the children enjoy reading about. Karale is a sport—a game. When you practice karate or enler a karale con- test. you do not actually strike your opponent's head or hit any part of his body hard. If you punched him. you would hurt him. so you block his blows and he blocks yours: This book will show you the ways in which you can make a karate chop or any other karate punch. It will also show you how to defend yourself against your opponent's blows. This book's purpose is to develop good sportsmanship and respect for others. Real fights occur because one boy thinks he can beat another but the second boy does not believe il. So they enter into a conlest. If the contest is a karale contest and it is conduc- led as a game. it will prove who is right without either boy being hurt. All of the exercises in this book are harmless. Never strike your opponent's head. whether with your hand or your foot. Always slop before you make contact. Block all of his blows with your arms and hands. d Panel Andrew Shaw, director of the Institute of Regional Affairs at Wilkes College ‘and executive director of the Flood Recovery invitation to serve on a panel concerning the subject of “Council of Governments,” at the Annual General Assembly of the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs.

LECTION i 16 E. Center St. Shavertown Acme Markets Inc. has re- ported earnings, after extraor- dinary charges, for the fiscal year ended March 31, of $1,016,000, equal to 29 cents per share as sales rose 8.8 percent to top the $2 billion mark for the first time. Earnings of $1.57 per charges for the second 26-week period of the year were up sub- stantially from the operating loss of 54 cents per share in the first 26 weeks. John R. Park, Acme pre- sident, said, ‘Although there are uncertainties in the food in- dustry by having mandatory price and wage controls while other segments of the economy are either partially decontrolled or uncontrolled, we are confi- dent that we can continue the earnings improvement into the current year.” Earnings for the year before extraordinary charges of $2,585,000 were $3,601,000 or $1.03 per share, compared with earnings of $12, 426,000 or $3.57 per share for the previous year, when there were no extraor- dinary charges. A $1,523,000 ex- traordinary charge resulted from a provision for loss, net of taxes, arising from the flood damage caused by tropical storm Agnes in June 1972. An extraordinary charge of $1,062,000, after tax benefit, re- sulted from the cost of closing a large number of stores in the East which could not be pro- fitably operated under existing wage costs and price levels. In a review of the year’s re- sults, Mr. Park made the fol- lowing comments: ‘‘Competi- tion was intense throughout the year and we were plagued by rising merchandise costs and operating expenses, even though price and wage controls were in effect. Early in 1972 ag- gressive steps were taken to meet changing conditions in the retail food industry. In the East we dropped trading stamps in nearly all our own food stores, and instituted a discount-type operation. Customer response to our merchandising pro- grams has been encouraging, both at Acme in the East and in Alpha Beta in the West. With 62 fewer food stores at the end of the fiscal year, the sales in- crease over the comparable previous period improved each quarter during the year. The percentage increase in the fourth quarter was 10.7 percent over the prior year comparable period. Ap —— ’ ALARA Mode!
