Mr. Milleg reported on progress of the gon com- mittee to date. Mr. Moyer acknowledged the appreciation of the board to the Dallas Woman's Club for their gift of $300 toward operating ex- penses. Donations such as this and Federal Revenue Sharing Funds are helping to reduce the $8,500 deficit in operating ex- penses experienced by the loss in income in last year’s Auction due to the Agnes Flood. How- ever, it was pointed out that only three townships, Lake, Franklin and Jackson, have voted to make such donations from their Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. It is hoped that other Back Mountain super- visors, will follow their lead and make similar contributions. Family Restaurants Elby’s Seafood Breaded Fresh Daily ROUTE 115 WILKES-EARRE, PA.
