He does have reserva-

involved in the strike. “If
the violence keeps up, it
could shut things down.
Everyone will be afraid to
be on the roads. I can see
the truckers would lose a
lot of sympathy if that
happens.”’
Ray Daring, in-
dependent grocer, an-
ticipates feeling the ef-
fects of the strike by its
second week. “We'll feel
it in our perishable
products. First, the
produce will stop coming
in, then our meats.”
Daring said the first ad-
verse effect he actually
felt was the skyrocketing
of prices on produce as
soon as the strike became

the problem will hit hard.
“We get most of our

said, ‘‘Especially that

Dana Sutliff, of Sutliff’s

prolonged strike or not.

Coscia said, however,

the customer through the
restaurant. “We may not

the price gets too high, but
we'll still have it. I get the

worried that some driver
will be afraid of getting it

Coscia said the pricing

some are qualifiers for

two nights a week in addi-
tion to tournament par-
ticipation. Members come
from a geographical area
which includes Sweet
Valley, Harveys lake,
Tunkhannock, Beaumont,
as well as Noxen. Jim
Davis has signed on to
help with coaching duties
this year, and several
Lake-Lehman wrestlers
lend a hand when
possible.
The wrestling club is
only one of the family-
oriented activities which
take place regularly in the
old Noxen Schook, which
houses the Athletic
Association. Mini-cheer-
leading provides an ac-
tivity for young girls.
Jazzercise is popular with
with the adult men.
The Athletic Associa-
tion formed three years
ago to provide the com-
munity with a central
location to house ac-
tivities. Although it has
been slow going, the
association, which ac-
cepted responsibility for
maintaining the building,
has managed to keep
activities scheduled and
occasionally brings in
special programs for the
people in Noxen. Swingle
admits, however, there is
not an overwhelming
amount of popular sup-
port from the immediate
community. The associa-
tion has only seven active,
working members at this
time. Officers for 1983
include Swingle,
president; Lois Engel-
man, vice-president;
Sharon Newell, treasurer,
and Gladys Gobel, secre-
