Mrs. Robert Maharty, Shavertown, who, along with her husband, operates the Back Mountain Sporting Goods store on the Memorial Highway, spotted the oddity. Mrs. Maharty, who is of the opinion that the mutation is two-tailed, said that she has packed away millions of worms for local anglers in her eight years at the store, but this is her first with three ends. The Mahartys purchase their worms from a New York firm. One observer, after watching the annelid’s antics, believes that the creature has two heads, with one located at either end, one at the end with the tail. Whether it’s heads or tails, the question remains the same, “Will it catch two fish?” Page A3 Dale Wagner, solicitations co- chairman for the 1973 Library Auction. announced that solici- {ations for the Auction sched- uled for July 6.7. and 8. are underway. Wagner said the various committees have been busy contacting firms, antique dealers. and home owners in an effort to pack the Auction barn to the rafters. The response (0 dale has been good. Pauline Kutz. antiques chair- man, has her committee scour- ing the countryside to seek out items of antiquity which are much sought after at this auc- tion. Margaret Houlihan has been busy contacting the rich and famous of the world in her ef- forts to add to the Auction barn with celebrity items. A pick up schedule for the general solicitation will be an- nounced in next week’s paper, according to Jack Krogulski, general solicitations chairman. On the pick up day. trucks will visit the various neighborhoods in the Back Mountain to pick up items. Homeowners who have made a ‘‘cleansweep’’ of their homes, and have goods for pick up are asked to leave their brooms on the porch to indicate they have made a clean sweep and have items for the Auction. The new solicitation commit tee, helped by Bill Shaner, is al- ready contacting area business- men, along with firms in Wyom- ing Valley. Bill reports that the businessmen have been most cooperative in helping to insure the success of the Auction. Finally. Mike Kuchta reports that merchandise continues to arrive from National firms which were solicited via a per- sonal letter asking for national support of the auction. It is beginning to look like the 1973 Auction will have the best array of items ever assembled. The Auction. however. needs everybody's support. May we count on you? SATISFACTION Bruce F'.
