The American Heart Association is concerned because smoking is a risk factor for heart disease - one that can be changed. Scientific research suggests that nicotine is the ingredient in ciga- rettes most responsible for addic- tion. Smokers absorb nicotine when they inhale, and pass it quickly to the brain.

Six couples completed the class, which began in September 1983 and wer taken into membership of the club. The class members partici- pated one evening each week throughout the long winter in classes designed to introduce them to modern western square dancing. The beginners, some of whom had done eastern farmer dancing, were introduced to the many and varied calls used in modern western square dancing. They soon realized they had a lot of hard work ahead of them; but they continued to learn and practice, an finally completed the first step into an activity filled with fun and good fellowship. Competing the program were: Don and Helen Carey of Shaver- town; Joe Fanti, Exeter; Mary Pambianco, West Pittston; Lloyd and Charlotte Kingston of Tunkhan- nock; George and Joan Rihan, Dallas; Sherman and Helen Sartin, Wilkes-Barre; Lee and Marilyn Smith, Shavertown. They will con- tinue to dance during the summer with the “Webspinners’” and utilize their newly acquired knowledge. Club caller, Andy Glowach, announced that the summer pro- gram for the months of June and July will be conducted at the Shav- ertown United Methodist Church in the social room in the basement. With the Trucksville Church Educa- tional Building undergoing construc- tion work, the Shavertown: Church has extended the hand of fellowship to the club. The July dance schedule is as follows: July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30th. Should the Trucksville facilities be available sooner than expected, the program will return to its home base at the Trucksville United Methodist Church Educational Building.
