The ‘old rock ribbed Republican
stronghold of the Back Mountain
was divided in its party loyalties
due to the strong appeal of Presi-

DEAR EDITOR:
What has President Reagan done
for pro-life? According to some
local Democrats, seeking to justify
a vote for the pro-abortion Mondale-
Ferraro team — nothing. In addi-
tion, they cite a 1967 California bill
allowing abortion which he signed
as governor to attempt to discredit
him as a pro-life candidate.
In 1967, Ronald Reagan did sign a
bill allowing abortion in very lim-
ited circumstances. The bill was
badly abused and Mr. Reagan later
stated that it was ‘“‘a mistake’’ and
that he regretted having signed the
legislation. But what has he really
done for pro-life? Let’s examine the
record.
1. President Reagan supports a
Human Life Amendment to the Con-
stitution to protect unborn children.
and, as president, has frequently
spoken out against ‘‘the annual kill-
ing of 1.5 million children by abor-
tion.”
2. In a Presidential Proclamation,
Mr. Reagan declared January 22,
1984 as National Sanesiiy of Human
Life Day.
3. President Reagan’ S one:
appointment to the U.S. Supreme
Sours, Sandra Day O’Connor, is pro-
ife
4. President Reagan has
appointed pro-life people to key
positions within his administration:

An exciting thing happened at the
library the other day. Ray Buchman
of 140 Franklin Street in Dallas
dropped in to tell us he had found a
string with a note attached to it on
the grounds of our new library
building on Huntsville Road. It
turned out to be what was left of a
balloon with a note inside that came
from student number 306 from the
Moscow Elementary School in
Moscow, Pa. The note asked the
finder to let them know where the
note was found. Ray has sent bal-
loons out with his classmates twice
and received an answer one time.
Ray is nine years old and in the
third grade at Dallas Elementary.
An exciting day for Ray!
The Back Mountain Memorial
Library is participating in the
Campbell Soup Company ‘Labels
for Education Program” for 1984-85.
The library will collect labels from
products made by Campbell Soup
Company. There are more than 200
varieties and sizes of Campbell
products. We ask our friends and
patrons to bring the labels into the
library and leave them at the front
desk. These coupons will be used to
receive some educational equipment
for the library. Start saving these
labels, get them to the library and
we will do the rest.
We are, and will be for some
time, in the process of moving
books and equipment to our new
building and would like to ask the
community for help by way of
boxes. We need boxes; any size and
lots of them. These can be dropped
off at the main building any time.
It is a different view from my
window these days. What was once
our children’s library annex is now
part of the Calvary Baptist Church.
They are using that building for
church services and educational
classes and it is so nice to see the
people, adults and children, coming
in for the services. Last evening
while sitting at my typewriter, I
heard some music, checked it out
and found it was someone ‘playing
the piano for the church service. It
is a beautiful piano and the music
was very inspiring. I can’t think of
any greater group to take over
these buildings than a church. We
have the option to stay in the main
building until January 31, but, hope-
fully, we will be moved into our
brand new library on Huntsville
Road before then.
New books at the library include:
“Living Well Naturally’’ by
Anthony Sattilaro is a guidebook for
living that provides a program for
health, fitness and emotional and
spiritual well-being. The diet is.
made up chiefly of whole grains and
vegetables with fish and chicken.
“McQueen” by William Nolan is
an authentic and intimate portrait
of the sixties’ most idolized screen

no in-depth interviews as he was
mistrustful of writers but this
author got a personal look into a
remarkable life story.

5. On October 9, 1984, President
Reagan signed a “Baby Doe’ bill
into law which protects handicapped
newborns from discriminatory

Here is a summary of important
event that occurred on Capitol Hill
last week from: Rep. Frank Coslett,
120th Legislative District.
PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS may
determine the future of the state
store system in the May primary
election if Gov. Dick Thornburgh
has his way. Thornburgh announced
this week that he will initiate a
drive to have a referendum placed
on the primary ballot asking voters
if the state liquor monopoly should
be Bbolished and turned over to
private enterprise. Sen. Stewart
Greenleaf (R-Montgomery) said he
will sponsor a bill authorizing the
referendum. Thornburgh has lob-
bied without success for almost a
year to have the General Assembly
pass legislation to dismantle the
state store system and allow private
enterprise to control retail sales in
Pennsylvania. grt
