In efforts to participate in the
bicentennial celebration of the
nation in 1976, the Back Mount-
ain Cultural Center recently an-
nounced its support of the Sister
City concept for communities in
the Back Mountain. Sister City
is a nation wide people to people
program wherein communities
select areas in other nations
which are similar in character
to them in other countries.
The Town Affiliation Associa-
tion is the national organization
promoting the Sister City con-
cept which originated in the
1950's in response to a need to
oY communicate on a
people to people basis between
and. among communities and
peoples across continents.
The Sister City concept has
been endorsed in the Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania bicentennial
plan, enacted through the ef-
forts of the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Council on the
Bicentennial, an organization of
two representatives each of the
seven counties of Carbon,
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe,
Pike, Schuylkill, and Wayne.
The board of directors of the
Back Mountain Cultural Center
stated that “the Sister City con-
cept should be utilized by all
Back Mountain communities as
a permanent, lasting tribute to
the 200th anniversary of the
nation and the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. It will go far
beyond 1976 in helping to
achieve a better understanding
of communities throughout the
nation and the international
scene. We strongly urge that
local governments in this area
obtain information about the
Sister City concept and take the
necessary steps to enter this
program. For example, Phila-
delphia has a Sister City in
Florence, Italy, and when the
floods of 1966 occurred, special
assistance was given by Phila-
delphia to Florence.”
The cultural center stated
that information on Sister City
can be secured by writing Box
129, Dallas, 18612.
