I suppose the end of the NFL
strike (whether permanent or
temporary) at least added some
normalcy to Thanksgiving Day for
many American families. I know, in
our family, we caught a quick
glimpse of Uncle Len at halftime.
He did his usual sprint to the dining-
room table, wolfed down a plate of
~ food and carried dessert back to the
TV room to catch the second half of
the Dallas Cowboys victory over the
Cleveland Browns. While the kiddos
managed to work up some excite-
ment over the exquisite bird which
graced our table, it soon waned as

~My new ambition this week--to
convince Richard Harris that he
wants to share some Christmas
‘neat’ car. Richard's reading this
out at Pittsburgh because he sub-
scribes to the Post. My friend Eddie
will also read it hen Richard's

~ guys will be home Dec. 18. I'm sure

| whole event on movie film. What do
you say, Rich? I can’t wait.
Why does a ride in a car give me
such a thrill? Probably because my
car has been giving me problems. I
~ want to take a moment to thank
and oddly silent.
O, don’t get me wrong. Dinner
itself was great! After five or more
hours of preparation, that fact is no
surprise. The truth is, however, I
had been hoping for something just
a bit more. This year I can’t say I
was the least unhappy over the
football strike, particularly as the
holiday approached.
“Thanksgiving dinner could
become a pleasant social occassion
after all.” Imagine! Dinner con-
versation—-sharing a few memories,
laughing about our latest dilem-
mas. Who knows, we might begin to
get to know one another again.
Alas, the strike ended just short of
my goal, Still, I had hope. ‘“They
can’t possibly want to watch those
ballplayers all day,” I thought.
“Not after they practically ruined
the entire season--and all for what-
money? Never! My family has too
much sense to be taken in by a
bunch of overpaid, egotistical
would stick with me and enjoy
Thanksgiving dinner in a manner
befitting the honor of our Pilgrim
forefathers.
Foiled again! Conversation and
family fun were to be no more than
wishful thinking for me. If you call
head or after a dash for a second
piece of pumpkin pie, conversation,
I guess it wasn’t totally non-
existent. And I suppose pillow fights
resulting from Billy pushing
Michael out of his reserved section
of floor might come under the
classification of family fun. But it
didn’t quite seem like what I'd been
dreaming of. In short, it was nor-
mal. Considering by the time the
final whistle blew on the field, I had
closed my after-dinner book and
was nodding off in complete satis-
‘faction. I guess normal isn’t so bad
after all. Who knows, maybe the
professional gridders will be
picketing again by Christmas, and
maybe then we’ll enjoy animated,
stimulating conversation and
family unity over dinner.

improving the region’s quality of ’
life.
The original intent of the Pocono
Northeast Awards Program was to
recognize the fine projects which
have been implemented in various
parts of the seven counties of North-
eastern Pennsylvania in order for
others to emulate these accom-
plishments. In the four years of the
program, the objectives continue to
be accomplished, and the high level
of community improvements show
thot it is quite possible to promote
the region in a positive and quality
of excellence style.
The recent awards dinner
honored the Distinguished Pennsyl-
vanians fron: the seven counties of
Northeastern Pennsylvania, who
merce. Forty-two representatives
of Northeastern Pennsylvania, out
of the 300 selected throughout the
State in commemoration of the
300th Anniversary of Pennsylvania,
show that this region has much to
offer in the way of leadership
qualities, as well as outstanding
success stories of community
improvements.
This is not to say there are not
many problems still facing North-
eastern Pennsylvania, the highest
of which is the need to secure
economic stability and create many
new jobs as well as protect existing
jobs throughout Northeastern
Pennsylvania. In fact, behind the
move to improve the region’s image
is the goal of economic stability, to
demonstrate to residents and non-
residents alike that the region has
much to offer, that the perception
which too many people have about
it as backward and provincial is not
true, and that the capacity to
achieve high quality is within the
grasp of all of us.
Thus, as the Pocono Northeast
Awards Program enters its fifth
year, areas throughout North-
eastern Pennsylvania should
consider entering the awards
program. For example, many
projects in the Back Mountain Area
of Luzerne County lend themselves
to the possibility of nominations for
awards. In all areas of North-
eastern Pennsylvania, many
projects have been accomplished,
which have gone unrecognized and
without great fanfare or publicity,
have achieved the quality of ex-
cellence. All of these projects
should be considered for entry into
the Pocono Northeast Awards
Program.

ceeding William W. Scranton, 3rd,
From week to week, there seems
to be hundreds of tidbits of news
which reach my desk at the Dallas
Post. For the most part, these bits
of info never reach the paper
because there is either not enough
space, or they can not be developed
as news stories. However, I" like
sharing news and often lament the
fact that certain items never see
print. Therefore, “A little fact, a
little fancy”, my way of sharing
some special ideas with you, has
been born.
“A little fact, a little fancy”
might include anything from hard
news tips to gossip(??).
For example, it was interesting to
me that our Harveys Lake Mayor,
Frank Picchi again performed a
wedding ceremony. His title lends
distinction to the nuptials, although
the practice of a mayor marrying
couples is certainly not popular
locally. Who knows? Perhaps
Frank is starting a new trend. This
most recent ceremony ‘was the
wedding of Tracey Taylor and
David Glogowski. Frank united the
two in marriage during an evening
reception at the Harveys Lake
Hotel.
Interesting, too, is the fact that,
unlike the first couple wed by the
good mayor, Taylor and Glogowski
are not personal friends of his. Both
are originally from Sweet Valley
and called upon Frank to do the
honors simply because it’s what
they wanted. He was, of course,
delighted! And we send CORgeRlS to
the happy duo.

Although our front page story
tells about Chief Thunder Pony’s
visit to Dallas Township, children
from the Lehman-Jackson
Elementary School were also
treated to a visit from the full-
blooded Cherokee Indian. Thunder
Pony brought his program of
American Indian folklore and
dancing to the children of that
school, compliments of the PTA, on
Wednesday, Nov. 24. As with their
Dallas counterparts, the Lehman
students found the experience fun
as well as educational.
A most unusual ‘‘meeting of the
minds’’ appeared to be taking place
in Picketts Charge last Wednesday,
when Lake-Lehman school direc-
tors Arnie Garinger, Gil Tough and
Red Jones were seen chatting with
Dallas Area administrators, Dr.
Richard Shipe, superintendent;
Jerry Wycallis, assistay
superintendent and Edgar Hughes,
may have seemed an odd conclave,
the men acutally met ‘after’ lun-
ching in their respective groups.
The topic of conversation? Basket-
ball, what else?
We’ve noticed a local Back
Mountain based publication has
undergone a change in leadership,
at least according to that paper’s
credit lines. With Burl and Shirl
no longer heading the list in the
Suburban News legend, we wish the
younger Updyke brothers, Alan,
Duane and Bryan good luck with
their new responsibility.
Ed Lyons, Dallas
Borough Police
Chief: ‘‘I was home
with my parents. We
had just come from
church and we heard
the news over the
radio. My parents
were shocked and
stunned, but I was
just going on nine at
the time and didn’t
understand what was
goingon.’’
Frank Wagner,
Dallas Township
supervisor: ‘‘I was:
just a little kid. My
parents were very up-
set and I remember
wondering what all
the commotion was
bout.”
