| Jackson Township Laskowski have returned home after visiting their grandson, Steven Shedlowski, who attends by Mrs. Norman Franklin Jackson Township Firemen’s Annual Bazaar i 28 at Konefals Grove, i Chase. Donations of baked goods would be ap- preciated. Also items for the white elephant table. On June 14, the Ladies Fork Union Militatry in Fork Union, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Griffith of Syracuse, N. Y.; Miss Marie Wright of McKenna of Idetown by Charlot Denmon The friendly, relaxed attitude of John and Lena Baur give no indication of their busy schedule which keeps them going seven days a week. John and his wife both teach mathematics at Dallas Junior High School. They also own and operate two family-type fast food and ice cream restaurants. Lena also takes care of their home and five children. Until this year, John directed the junior high school = bowling. program at Crown Im- perial Lanes. John and Lena are natives of the Back Mountain. He lived in Shavertown, graduated from Westmoreland High School, then attended King’s College where he received his B.S. degree in mathematics in 1958. Lena is the former Lena . Misson of Dallas, graduated from’ Dallas Township High School, then went to Wilkes College where she received a B.S. degree in mathematics. John is in his 15th year of teaching, Lena is in her 21st. He went to New Jersey following graduation where he taught for a year. He left education and moved to Easton where he worked for Pomeroys for a number of years. In 1963, he returned to the Back Mountain and accepted a position on the faculty of Dallas Junior High School. Lena taught at Mountain High School this June; Michael, a junior; Julie and Edward, sophomores: and Walter, a freshman. In 1971, John and Lena purchased Treat Drive-In in West Nanticoke. Since it purchased it, they did little business that fall. They looked forward to the 1972 season but only a few weeks aftr they opened in 1972, Agnes arrived and the flood closed them for a while. The business was not hit by the water-that came only to their parking lot-but the high waters on the highways prevented people from getting to them. ! However, when the roads were opened their business boomed. To John and Lena, it seemed as though people had just discovered they were there. They specialize in ice cream and short order food although John -said he believes their hard ice cream is the chief at- traction. They have one of Meyers Class 1953 plans reunion A committee meeting will be held Thursday Evening, May 25 at 8 p.m. at the Recreation Center home) of LaVere Stiles, 199 Brown St., Wilkes-Barre, to work on additional arrangements for the 25th the largest varieties of food in the area in order to compete: with specialty places. This year, they are featuring the half pound hamburg. “It’s a lot of meat, ;; said John, “and you better be hungry when you order it.’’ Their soft raspberry ice cream also is an attraction because most of the places serve only vanilla and chocolate. They also sell frozen yogurt. 5 In 1976, they decided to open a similar business in the Back Mountain. They purchased the former Tastee Freez site on the Dallas Highway. They have an operation similar to their West Nanticoke location. They carry 20 flavors of hard ice cream at the Dallas Drive-In which they don’t have at West Nanticoke: The second year the Baurs were open in the Dallas location, they added the miniature golf course. In nice weather it is popular with all ages. Parents have birthday parties for their children, grandfathers bring their grandchildren to play, couples come in and play- everybody enjoys it. Last Christmas, he and a friend sold trains as a special venture. His three boys sold Christmas trees which proved profitable since it was a year when real trees were scarce. Both John and Lena work in the business. John spends most of his time at the Dallas location while Lena spends most of hers at West Nanticoke. In- cluding their children, they have as manyh as 25 persons working for them. Lena also is the bookkeeper for the businesses. The Baurs take their vacation in the winter- usually a family-skiing trip. Last Thanksgiving, the family spent the holidays in Canada skiing. John plays tennis year- round and also bowls in two leagues, Monday and Thursday night. Lena enjoys roller-skating and goes whenever she finds the time. Both enjoy music and are members of the Nor- PAGE SEVENTEEN theastern Philharmonic Society. They are also members of the local Dallas Education Association, and National Education Association. * The Baurs believe there is a place for the small family-type business which can offer quality but he also sees the small family: owned businesses being squeezed out by the large national chain organizations. Their drives : in is one of the few seasonal operation in the Back Mountain, opening in the spring and closing in the early fall, shortly after Labor Day. The Baurs are busy people but they are happy people, enjoying life with their family and friends. from summer to frost.
