C Reverend George A. Jef- frey, pastor, Our Lady of Victory Church, Harveys Lake, recently announced plans for the construction of a new parish commu- nity center including a rec tory and renovations to the present church. The $500, 000 expansion program which is scheduled to begin in late summer or early fall will be partially funded by the proceeds realized from a capital fund drive launched in the parish this weekend with a minimum goal of $250,000. The parish center is to be constructed on land located next to the present church which will permit direct access to that facil- ity when the building is completed. an unobstructed view of the sanctuary. This same area can be cordoned off during the winfer months to serve as a daily Mass chapel resulting in consi- derable energy, savings. Other features incorpo- rated in this uniquely designed bi-ievel center include a quiet room, child care room, reconciliation room; religious education classrooms and staff offices, meeting room, a center for social activities, youth ministry staff office and a rectory. Renovations to the 60- year-old church -are to include installation of new roof covering, new church kneelers, new church car- peting, releading of the stained glass windows and installation of lexan storm windows as well as a new bell and carillon. Founded as a mission church of St. Ignatius Parish, Kingston, in 1923, Our Lady of Victory was designated a parish by Bishop J. Carroll McCor- mick on September 3, 1969. Since then, the parish has experienced a steady growth in the number of year-round families until today there are 350 fami- lies in the parish. Accerd- ing to Father Jeffrey, this growth and the need to provide for net only the present, but the future, necessitates the expansion program. The fund drive will be conducted by teams of vol- unteer workers from the parish during the next two months. During this period, each parishioner will be personally visited by workers and asked to consider a pledge of sup- port to the program. Members of the Dallas Lions and Lioness Clubs entered a float in the state Lions convention parade held recently in Wilkes- Barre. The theme for the float was the “Wizard of 0z”-and featured charac- ters from the famous book- made-movie. The, Wizard ‘was por- frayed by John Delvechio; Dorothy, complete with red shoes and puppy dog was Grace McCue; the brave lion was none other than the newest lion, Tom Bagley and the Tin Man was superbly portrayed by Carol - that’s right - Carol Tabor. The scarecrow, straw and all, was Frank Roll- man and, in these witches outfits, were Mariene Roll- man and Ruth Fino. Although none will admit to “type casting’’ it should be noted that Lioness Roll- man was the Wicked Witch of the West while Lioness Fino was the lovely good witch who touched ever yong with her magic wand and brought love and hap- piness to all. The float committee was chaired by Lion Bill “Stump’’ Tabor = with assistance from the cast members and from Lions Drew Fitch, Joe Harring- ton, Russ Stone and Paul McCue. Helping with the decorations were Sue Bagley, Dote Fitch, Flor- ence Harrington and Ellen Stone. Lions McCue and Tabor had originally been cast as “trees” for the float but both backed out when the prosepct of leg-hiking dogs along the parade route was mentioned. Helping out with the unit formation at the parade were Lions Balutis, Bly and Kleinhans. Float driv- ers were D.J. Fitch with Dean Fitch at shotgun. Dave Fitch drove the pickup truck with the Lions in tow and Joe Sitar provided his vintage Ford in which the ladies were escorted.
