Ernie Bigner, who’s husband is the new pastor of the Dallas Baptist Church, says it is most rewarding. The Bigners have lived in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and now Pennsylvania, and ac- cording to Ernie, they have made many lasting friends through their church work. Ernie is impressed with the local area. She thinks that it has the most beautiful countryside of anywhere they have lived. Ernie says that everyone has been very friendly and helpful, and that her family has been warmly received. The Pennsylvania weather, particularly this winter, will be quite a change for the whole family. Charles was assigned to a church in Ponchatula, La., for five years prior to his assignment at Dallas Baptist Church. That section of Louisiana has a hot, moist climate. Local winters with sometimes sub-zero weather should be a unique experience for the Bigners. Ernie and Charles are originally from Madisonville, a little town north of New Orleans, La. Charles is a graduate of Clark Jr. College in Newton, Miss., Louisiana College, in Pineville, La., and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Ernie, a licensed practical nurse, received her training from Hammond Area Vocational School. She is employed by Car- penter’s Nursing Home, working four nights per week. of four children. Cheryl, their oldest, is married and resides in Ponchatula. Chuck, 18, lives with Cheryl and her husband does construction work, and hopes to begin college in January. Steven is 14 and a freshman at Dallas Junior High School. Scott, 8, attends Dallas Borough School. The Bigners recently North Pioneer Avenue in Shavertown. A wonderful surprise awaited them when they arrived to find that their new parishoners had planted beautiful flower gardens around their home. In her leisure time, Ernie likes to bake and decorate cakes. She does this only for family since it takes a great deal of time. She also likes to do hand- crafts, and to refinish furniture. The Bigner’s son-in-law Clint made them a dining room table out of Louisiana cyprus: The table which seats about eight people is a real piece of workmanship. Ernie bought unfinished chairs with cane-like seats, and she and Cheryl finished them. An old table given to the Bigners by a former parishoner, and refinished by Ernie also adds to this attractive room. Charles is very busy, but occasionally he finds time to do a little fishing. Steve and Scott are members of the Bobcat football team, and of the Royal Am- bassadors, a mission program which meets every Wednesday at the Dallas Baptist Church.

The decline in the national average college board scores has been noticeable for several years. Yet, Wyoming Seminary, has demon- body a stability of per- formance from year to year according to Robert D. Klarsch, academic dean. Studies based on national surveys indicate that parents are taking a hard look at ‘the possible elimination of many extra- curricular activities as well as the academic cutbacks at some public schools in an effort to hold- down the escalating costs and subsequent tax hikes.
