Comment
We are appalled at the recent
report of vandalism at the Back
Mountain Library refreshment
booth. Following closely on the
heels of a deliberately-set fire at the
Dallas Senior High School, we
wonder where some of our young-
sters have developed their sense of
fun.
Can it be that they witness minor
infractions of the rules by their
parents and subconsciously
determine it to be ‘okay’ to dis-
regard the property of others?
In both instances the property
destroyed belonged to the entire
community. Too often, we ignore
the smaller things, such as broken
lightbulbs, graffiti and littering.
Letter
Perhaps, as adults, we are guilty of
some of these actions. And, if this is
the case, it is no wonder our off-
spring do not value their surround-
ings.
Perhaps the cause lies in the
greater goof-ups, such as govern-
mental inadequacy and man’s
inhumanity. If this is so, it remains
even more important for us, as
adults, to counter our children’s
disillusion with productive, creative
endeavors.
Without a doubt, we must begin,
within our homes, to instill a sense
of community in our children. How
else can they learn to respect the
property and rights of others?
.. The following is a letter of thanks
from the Harveys Lake Borough
Council to that community’s
Municipal Authority. It is acknow-
ledgement of appreciation for all
the many kindness and helps the
authority has provided for the
community in general.
Gentlemen:
We, the members of the Harveys
Lake Borough Council would like to
Only Yesterday
take this opportunity, as we begin a
new year, to express our sincere
appreciation for all that you have
done for the borough.
Due to your generosity, we are
able to operate and maintain both a
general borough office for our
secretary-treasurer and zoning
officer.
At no cost to the borough, you
have provided us with an addition to
the existing structure, which
enables us to hold all council
meetings as well as meetings for
various committees and groups of
the borough. At no time did you ask
for or request any contribution to
your project. You were able to fund
it solely through your own sources.
You have cooperated with us in
any way possible and done all that
you could for us.
We hope that both the borough
and the Municipal Authority will
always continue to have this
cooperative relationship. Let me
assure you that we will do all we can
to make sure that this is so.
Sincerely,
Frank H. Coulton
President of Council

This week’s big news comes from
Harveys Lake and should put some
anticipation of summertime and
outdoor fun into our lives.
Madelaine Blaine has informed me
that plans are in the works for an
early summer Harveys Lake
Homecoming on Saturday and
Sunday, June 18 and 19. Madelaine
is serving as publicity chairperson
for the two-day event and she said
the committee is presently getting
its program into shape.
Initial plans for the homecoming
sound very exciting. The committee
is hoping to feature the “Ripcords’’
skydivers, an ox roast, a parade, a
dance and bassmaster’s fishing
competitions. It appears the
festival has the blessing of all the
lake’s community and service
organizations and will be backed by
the businessmen.
According to Madelaine, ac-
tivities will be scheduled from
morning to night. During the en-
suing months, we'll be hearing
more about the upcoming event as
the steering committee meets every
second week. Madelaine has
promised to keep us informed of all
developments. We're looking for-
ward to the homecoming already.
Debbie Zurinski :
Of course, the young lady pic-
tured here is someone many of our
readers are familiar with. Debbie
Zurinski, the happy-go-lucky author
of “On the road with Debbie Z,”
which appears regularly in this
newspaper, has been appointed to
Barre Chamber of Commerce.
The announcement of Debbie’s
director John Sheehan who aptly
referred to her as an ‘‘enthusiastic
individual with a great deal of
potential.”
Debbie will serve as membership
development manager and will be
responsible for all membership
development activities including
the Star Team, BizNet program-
ming, Visitations and Membership
Mixers.
While pursuing her college
career, Debbie has been employed
part-time for the chamber. She will
graduate from College Misericordia
in May with a B.S. in Business
Administration. At Misericordia,
she has served as editor of The
Recordian and president of the
Business Club. She is also actively
from Mak
Theatre Program.
While we also wish Debbie the
best of luck and success in her new
career, we believe luck is not
necessary in this case. We at the
Post have as much or more confi-
dence in her ability to do a job well
as do the people at the chamber. We
simply expect great things from
her, and know she’ll be an asset to
the organization.

searching for an attorney to help
them decide whether they can ta
legal action against the township’s
Supervisors.
Ed Havrilla, secretary of the
board of auditors, said legal action
is not a definite matter and will not
become one unless an attorney says
there is sufficient basis for it.
He noted the board has the huge
amount of $30 to pay an attorney for
initial legal advice. He is hoping one
can be found for that sum.
Although a few names have been
tossed about, Havrilla said the
auditors are also busy getting the
township’s financial book together.
This had to be completed by March
15 and has been very time-
consuming. The auditors, in fact,
have been meeting several times
each wek to get the book in order.

Do you know what English
Chippendale is? Johnson Brothers
of England manufacture this
beautiful pattern of china and we
have our display case in the library
showing some of the lovely pieces.
Each piece of china is a genuine
hand engraving. The pattern is a
white background with an overall
pattern of roses delicately inter-
spersed with other small flowers all
done in a rose color. Ruth Bennett of
Noxen has graciously allowed us to
display these pieces, which she
recently inherited from her mother-
in-law, Hazel Bennett. Ruth now
has place settings for 12, plus the
Just for a little bit of fun, see
whether you remember the people
in the photos listed below.
They are members of a past
graduating class of either Lake-
Lehman High School or Dallas High
School. Are they friends of yours?
Or perhaps they are former best
friends. Regardless, they are still
living in the Back Mountain and you
may recognize them better next
week when we identify them for you
by current name and class. In the
meantime, take a guess. See
whether your memory is as ac-
curate as it once was.

serving pieces.
Before this china became per-
manently housed in its new china
cupboards, Ruth unpacked a few
choice items for us to enjoy. There
is a complete place setting in-
cluding a dinner plate, soup bowl,
sauce dish, bread and butter plate
and cup and saucer. There are also
two vegetable bowls, a large
platter, cream and sugar, ‘ginger
jar and a tea pot.
Ruth visits antique shops and flea
markets, shopping for dishes and
crystal. She has received many
items from her mother-in-law items
that have been handed down for
generations. She presently is
worthy matron of Dallas Chapter
Order of Eastern Star, which takes
some of her spare time.
Speaking of spares, Ruth is also a
bowler, citing a sore foot at the
moment as a reason for some low
scores. This Chippendale China
makes a lovely display and will be
at the library for the next four
weeks.
We do find all kinds of things in
books, that are returned, things that
patrons use for bookmarks. How-
ever, the best kind is cash. Last
week one of our patrons found a 10
dollar bill in a book on the shelf; we
used it to make our Friends’
campaign a little richer.

New books at the library: ‘‘Path-
ways To The Gods’ by Erich von
Daniken is the account of a daring
adventure to the remote Kiribati
Islands of the Pacific. In these
tropical islands, the author
discovers huge footprints left in
stone and finds compelling new
explanations.
‘Floating Dragon’’ by Peter
Straub transcends the literary
provinces of horro and fantasy from
which it takes flight an creates a
new fictional genre all by itself. The
four characters in the book are led
through escalating tensions and
terrors to a mystery world.
“Ellis Island” by Fred Mustard
Stewart is an epic teeming with life
and drama when the century, and
America, were young. It is the story
of five young immigrants who fled
their homelands for America at the
turn of the century. It includes a
haunting, star-crossed affair.
