Has ‘‘black magic’’
comes to the Back
Mountain, or is somebody
just fooling around?
A few weeks ago Dallas
Twp. police investigated a
report of ‘‘devil wor-
shippers” meeting and
conducting ceremonies in
a ‘cemetery close to the
Mercy Center at College
Misericordia. Finding
some debris and the
remains of a fire, they
decided to pay close at-
tention to area cemeteries
as the folklore ‘witching’
days'of May 1 and June 21
approached.
However, when nothing
turned up on May 1, Dr.
Steven Davies, Professor
of Theology at Miseri-
cordia, said he wasn’t
surprised. ‘I see no
evidence of any serious
cult,” said Dr. Davies. “rt
wasn’t any kind of
sacrifice.” He said the
traces of whatever
happened went unnoticed
for several days after the
late-March incident and
that, as far as he could
tell, there was no indica-
tion of any organized
‘‘ceremony.’
‘It was probably just an
amateur magician,” he
suggested. He completely
ruled out voodoo,
traditional black magic,
and Satanism, calling it
more like a prank, after
viewing the spot. He at-
tributed to rumor the
devil worshipping or
there. “People have a lot
of fun spreadingrumors,”
he added.
Five young people,
members of 1981
graduating classes, will
be honored at the 9 a.m.
mass, Sunday, in St.
Frances X. Cabrini R.C.
Church, Carverton. Rev.
Hugh McGroarty, pastor,
While you're catching forty
winks, you could be buy-
ing electricity at lower
nighttime rates and saving
16% or more on each kilo-
watt-hour. It all depends on
how much electricity you
buy at the lower nighttime
rate. To buy more at
night— use Electric
Thermal Storage home
heating and hot water
heating units (ETS).
With ETS equipment —
a storage-type home heat-
ing unit or a 120-gallon
storage-type water
heater —you can buy most
of your electricity at a
lower nighttime rate and
save. In most households,
heating and water heating
account for more than 75%
of the total energy use.
To save on your electric
bill, you simply install ETS
equipment and apply for
UGT's optional RTU Rate*
(Residential Time-of-Use).
During the night, lower
cost electricity will charge
the ETS equipment. In the
morning, the power to
those units is turned off.
You'll have daytime power
for other electric needs, of
course, but your heat and
hot water will be drawn
from storage units.
IN ADDITION TO
LOWER COST NIGHT-
TIME ELECTRICITY,
you'll get a credit of $3.21
will celebrate the mass
which will honor Doug
Burak, graduated from
Wyoming Seminary;
Susan Santarelli,
Margaret Luke, Debbie
Baseski and Philip
Knepp, Dallas graduates.

using a storage-type water
heater controlled by UGI.
And if you install ETS
you'll save even more,

requirements.

in an average 1400-square-
foot home using ETS home
heating, you would receive
an additional $79.00 a year

the storage heating unit.

home heating and water
heating units, plus taking
advantage of lower night-
