By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent “Bringing People Together With Music” is Viennese accordionist walter Groller’s goal in life and day night at the K&G Hofbrau Haus at Harveys Lake. The world-renowned musician jouneyed to the Bavarian Hof- brau Haus from Allentown to entertain for the patrons of the restaurant owned by George and Karin Neuhaus. Groller, who travels through- out Europe, South America, Asia and the United States, came to the Back Mountain Wednesday because it was the only open date on his calendar during October. He will return again Nov. 13 and Nov. 29 when he will again play a wide selection of German and Austrian music. Born in America of Austrian parents, Groller returned with them to their birthplace near Vienna. While there, he learned to speak German so when the family returned to the United States he had a thorough knowl- edge of both German and Vien- nese. Groller started playing when he was four years of age and his mother sang songs to him. He studied German and Austrian music on his own and became very learned in both. He writes music, has recorded by artists in Austria and in America, has a television show in Allentown “Cafe International.” Groller also has a five-piece orchestra which will celebrate its 50th year of playing in 1985. One of the members of the orchestra has been with him since the orchestra was formed in 1945. Groller’s youngest son, who is 24 years old, is a drummer in the orchestra. Groller plays the accordion . and sings and, last Wednesday night, he was an instant hit with the parties of, German people who came from Wilkes-Barre, Pittston and other areas of Wyo- Dallas Post/Charlot M. Denmon an Austrian accordionist ming Valley to hear him play. Walking into the Hofbrau was like walking into a small hofbrau haus in Germany. The floors were scrubbed so clean they shone, red and white checkered curtains hung on the windows, German beer and wine could be seen on the back bar and Karin, in her white apron and white bandana, looked very German- like. Weinerschnitzel and noodle pudding served by the German couple are two delicious dishes. Other customers told us all of the food is equally as tempting. K&G was opened two years ago by Karin and her husband, George, when they decided to make their permanent residence at Harveys Lake, where George was born. Karin is a pative of Berlin, Germany and jnet her husband in New York, City where they were married. Why did they decide to open a German Hofbrau Haus? Accord- ing to Karin, every time she tried to cook anything, it tasted like German food so she and George decided they might as well have a German restaurant. The German atomosphere has the creative touches of Karin’s. The place is not finished, she says, but she and George are decorating gradually as they progress. Karin does all of the cooking and. dinner is served Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. “With two children, three and a half and 17 months, four days is enough,” said Karin. Last Wednesday was an excep- tion because that was the only night that Groller could enter- tain. Karin opened her kitchen, cooked and served her already well-known German dinners, while George and an assistant served the cocktails and after- dinner drinks. Every German and Austrian folk dance was enjoyed after dinner. Diners stayed and, before too long, guests from all of the tables were exchanging partners or dancing with one another. To some it brought back memories of their life in their native coun- try, to others they re-lived the stories told to them by their parents or grandparents. For all, it was a night of good food, fun and entertainment, all of it made possible because Walter Groller came from Allen- town to “Bring people together with his music’, which he was successful in doing. The fall season, with the chill in the air that turns leaves to crimson pumpkins and creates the mood for one of the most colorful observ- “It is a time for fun and fantasy, not tragedy,” said Matt Matthiesen, acting director of the state Health Department’s Division of Emer- gency Health Services, and he offers these suggestions for Hallow- een safety for your little ghosts and goblins. — Store purchased costumes tend to be on the thin side and don’t provide protection from the ele- ments. Warm underclothing will help ward off colds and the flu. — Many of the commercial cos- tumes may not be fireproof. Never allow_children to carry lighted can- dles. A flashlight ‘fashioned as a candle or lantern will give the same effect without the danger. — Each child should carry a flashlight whether it is part of the costume or not. It will let them see and be seen. — Costumes should allow freedom loween of movement, but not too loose to cause children totrip over them. —-Attach strips of reflective tape to costumes so that motorists can see them at night. — Where possible, use makeup instead of a mask. If a mask is necessary part of the costume, be sure it fits well so that eyes line up with eye holes. And: be sure the holes are large enough. — Go over the rules of safety before the children go out. children on their rounds of the neighborhood. — Instruct the children not to eat any of the goodies until they get home. There the {treats can be examined and parceled out in amounts that will not make them sick. “I would especially caution motorists to be on the lookout for young trick or treaters as Hallow- een approaches. Each year there are accidents that could have been avoided if the driver and the chil- dren were a little more careful,” Matthiesen said. Legion officers z “Auction planned school auditorium.

Crawford, of the United States Naval Academy’s Mathematics Department, was among 28 researchers chosen for a National Aeronautics and Space Administration fellowship at John- son Space Center last summer. During her fellowship, she devel- oped a system for use aboard the space shuttle, Columbia. In addition she continued her research in robot- ies which began with a fellowship at the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Annapolis, Md.

At that time, all past commanders in attendance were honored. During the fire in 1954, all Legion members to whom the Post talked were hesitant about naming past commanders in fear of omitting some names. There were several names, however, mentioned by more than one of today’s members, of persons who were very active and played key roles in the organi- zation. Among these were Paul Shaver, Joseph Adamitz, Charles Stookey, Bert Stitzer, Frank Ferry, William Moran, Hugh Carr, Roy Verfaille, George Cave, William O’Brien, Harold Brobst, Edward Buckley, Richard Staub, Dave Jenkins, Lewis Rese, Gus Shuleski, Thomas Reese, Al Ciccarelli, Dick Fuller, Alexan- der MacCullough and Jerry Mach- ell. These are only a few of the many veterans who have played major roles in the success of the Daddow- Isaacs American Legion Post 672 over the past 50 years. To all of them and to the many others whose names we do not know, sincere congratulations and many years of success in the years ahead. May the American Legion organization con- tinue to stand for its ideals of Americanism in the future as it has in the past.
