When someone asks us
What is a
customer?
we have the answer...
#* A customer is the most important person
in any business.
+ A customer is not dependent on us—we
are dependent on him.
* A customer is not an interruption of our work.
He is the purpose of it.
* A customer does us a favor when he calls.
We are not doing him a favor by serving him.
* A customer is a part of our business,
not an outsider.
% A customer is not a cold statistic. He is a flesh
and blood human being with feelings and
emotions like our own.
* A customer is not someone to argue
or match wits with.
* A customer is deserving of the most courteous
and attentive treatment we can give him.
* A customer is the lifeblood of this
and every other business.
THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR CUSTOMER.

Mrs. Patricia Johnson of Bodle Road has given up
plans to have the Franklin Township polling placed
moved from the Orange United Methodist Church
annex to the Franklin Township fire hall. Back in May
after the Primary Election, she secured forms at the
Luzerne County Election Bureau in the Courthouse
Annex to initiate the change. The attempted move
caused a furor among members of the United Method-
ist Women’s Group of the Orange Church, who use the
election day dinners - noon and evening - as fundrais-
ers. Mrs. Johnson subsequently denied that she had
instituted the move, although attaches at the Luzerne
County Election Bureau confirmed a Post reporter’s
inquiry about the proposed move. Incidently, the
Franklin ‘Township Taxpayers’ Association has gone
on record to oppose any move in changing the polling
place from the Orange UM Church Hall where it has
been for decades. Mrs. Johnson, a sister-in-law of Mrs.
Sandra Race, Franklin Twp. secretary, was defeated
for the Republican nomination for a six-year term as
township auditor by Sam Perry of Sutton Creek Road,
Orange, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Perry, Sr.

‘La Chain Gang’
Members of *
Nancy Biscontini,
By JANE C. BOLGER
Post Correspondent
If you get up real early on a nice
Saturday morning and head out
along a country road, you may have
the pleasure of meeting ‘La Chain
Gang”.
You'll see seven ladies traveling
along by bicycle wearing white Bell
helmets with red trim-.and sweat-
shirts identifying the name of their
club.
The gals won’t be going too fast -
maybe a maximum speed of 10
miles per hour - but they’ll be
having a great time. Enjoying life is
the whole idea of ‘La Chain Gang’,
according to Carol King who founded
the club last year with her Dallas
neighbor, Jean Gale, when they
found they couldn’t keep up with the
pace of more serious-male riders.
“I'd feel so guilty,” said Mrs.
King, describing how her husband,
Hugh, who owns ‘The Recyclery’’ a
bicycle shop in Dallas, would slow
down and wait for her. “La Chain
Gang’ operates at a much lower key
with the ladies always willing to
wait for learners, stopping for
refreshments at someone’s house,
pigs at a farm, or even bringing
home apples from orchards in their
bike bags.
Starting at 7:30 in the morning
from their meeting place at a res-
taurant on Rt. 309, the group goes up
and down hill all over the Back
Mountain. Some of the usual routes
they take are to Frances Slocum
Park, to Orange or Centermoreland,
out to Lehman, or around Harveys
Lake.
Along the way, they’ve had some
unusual experiences like the time
they found a dog trapped in a
culvert out on Lower Demunds Road
then went knocking on doors of
neighboring farm houses waking
people up. Eventually they bicycled
to a telephone and called the SPCA
then returned to check on the dog.
Not all their animal stories are
quite as pleasant, though since bicy-
cles seem to attract dogs - a fact
Mrs. King became paifully aware of
when she panicked while being
chased. After falling down, however,
she promptly had her faced licked
by the animal who turned out to be
friendly once she was off her bicy-
cle.
Members of the club in addition to
Mrs. King, who is a first grade
teacher at Wyoming Seminary Day
School, are Mrs. Gale, a realtor, and
her daughter, Debbie, a dental
assistant; Barbara Vivian, another
realtor; Sally Drummer, a Wilkes-
Barre teacher; Sharon Bayer, a
legal secretary; and Natalie Tup-
pett, a dental assistant. Another
member, Nancy Biscontini, recently
moved to Wyoming - to date there
are no plans to ride out to visit her.
New members are welcome at any
time and anyone who is interested
may call Jean Gale at 675-2753 for
more information on how to enjoy
their Saturday mornings.
One safety tip gleaned from ‘La
Chain Gang” is to always wear a
helmet. Another tip is to be sure the
bike fits you. If you borrow your son
or daughter’s bikes, have the seat
adjusted to fit you comfortably.
The ladies feel you will probably
need a 10-speed bike with lower
gears in order to easily conquer the
hills in this area. Perhaps the most
important message from “La Chain
Gang” could be “Enjoy it, it’s fun.”
