Isham, who took over the lead on the 10th lap and led the rest of the way with the exception of the 21st and 38th circuits, received the winner’s share of $500 and picked up more than $200 in lap money. Pete Hulbert, Binghamton, was runnerup less than a car-length off the pace. Pa., and Carl Nagel, Stevens Point, Pa., were 3rd and 4th respectively both less than a length behind Hulbert. Kenny Moore; Nichols, N. Y., was fifth. The championship event had the fans on their feet most of the way as the front runners re- mained wheel to wheel. Dave Stark, Honesdale, led for the first five laps; Ron Cook, Oneonta, set the pace for the next four and then Isham took command. On the 21st and 38th laps, Carl Nagel was the front runner. Nagel was running :a very close second but tangled briefly with Isham, then in a gesture of fine sportsmanship backed off.

Lightning had caused electrical problems but there was no fire. Asst. Chief Jim Davies was in charge of the afternoon calls. The storm was also indirectly responsible for a fire at the home of Eugene Kocher, Route 309, Beaumont. The upstairs lights in the Kocher home did not work following the storm and at 6:45 p.m. the Kunkle Fire Company was summoned when a fire broke out in the upstairs bathroom partitions. Chief John Dodson called the Dr. Henry M. ‘Laing Fire Company, Dallas for ql the Harveys Lake Fire Company. Chief Don Shaffer was in charge of the Dallas crew. Heavy smoke poured from the upstairs windows while the Kocher family and friends carried furniture and personal belongings out of the house onto the lawn. The fire was caught between partitions and finally a hole was made in the roof to get at the flames. After an hour the blaze was brought under con- trol. Tank trucks went to nearby Shady Side Lake to refill. Several booster lines, two 2% and one 1'» inch lines were used to extinguish the fire. Air packs were also used for protection against the smoke.

We published a story on Mark Blaine Chappell, born July 8, 1972, as the first baby born to a Back Mountain resident following the flood caused by Agnes, June 23. However, our information was incorrect. Although Mark was the baby featured on the inside cover of “A Portrait of Agnes’, he was not the first local baby born in the temporary medical center at College Misericordia. Lisa Marie Butera, born to Mrs. Joseph Butera, RD 1, Dallas, was the very first baby born at the medical center, and not only was she a Back Mountain baby, but her mother was a 1969 graduate of College Misericordia. Lisa was born at LG HTANG 342-8394 “The Lighting Center” 8:11 a.m., June 25, just two days after the disaster struck Wyoming «Valley, causing Nesbitt Memorial Hospital to evacuale to the Dallas campus. The second baby born at the cenler was Mark Brandon, born shortly after Lisa Marie, the same day. His mother is Mrs. Robert Brandon, 46 Nesbitt St., Larksville. Digging back into last year’s files, we found that two more Back Mountain babies were born that night, and two more the following day. At 8:04 p.m., June 25, Dawn and Wayne Dotter, RD 5, Shavertown, welcomed a daughter, and half an hour later, Mary and Ken- neth Livezey, RD 1, Dallas, found their family larger by one son. One hour and 26 minutes into the next day, June 26, a son was born to Diane and William Baltuskonis, 126 Harris Hill Road, Trucksville. Later that day, Janet and William Smith, RD 3, Dallas, were happy to announce the birth of a baby girl.

NE] Stop in or Call Dallas Shopping Center Route 309, Dallas 675-5677 To practically everyone's de- light. fresh strawberries are here. When you buy strawberries, be sure the little caps are intact Mrs. ‘J. Kotch, Luzerne County Extension Home Economist points out that the best strawberries are firm and. uniformly bright red in color. You can ripen pale berries. if you leave them at room temperature, but they're never quite as flavorful as those that come already a juicy bright red. Another shopping tip...don’t buy a basket of strawberries that's’ badly juice-stained. That's often a sign of crushed berries. Size isn't necessarily an indi- cation of flavor. The small or medium sizes are oftef fore flavorful. Extremely large sizes may have hollow centers. Very small, hard. misshaped berries may be poor in quality and flavor. Wash strawberries just before you use them. They won't spoil as quickly if you take them out of the box before you refrigerate them. Store them spread out on a deep plate or (ray that you can seal with clear food wrap. REPEAT on | FAMOUS a SELLOUT! White Patent Leather Size 7 to 12 B-C-D 119 " Reg. $35.00 | slightly off white.
