lege Misericordia, here.
The four part workshop, ‘Quilting
for Young People” is scheduled for

March 9, from 10 a.m. to noon at the

“Each youngster will design and
make a patchwork pillow,” said
Joanne Ennis, instructor of the
workshop. The basic techniques of
quilting are simple and it’s a craft
to be enjoyed.

ericodia, the workshop is educa-
tional as well as recreational. The

offer a worthwhile solution to week-
end cabin fever, he pointed out.

PROGRAMS
Families today face constant
change. More women are employed
outside the home. Grandparents and
other relatives are unlikely to live
nearby. An aging parent may need
to move in. A self-supporting son or
daughter may return home.
Through all this families may need
support that is often costly or hard
to find. LUZERNE COUNTY COOP-
ERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE
has been helping people help hem-
selves for 70 years.
The County Extension home econ-
omist, Josephine Kotch, may be
able to help you get the support you
need. She offers workshops on man-
aging mney for those with litle
experience in budgeting. She serves
as the advisor for two chapters of

the Creative Craftsmen in Luzerne
County. Members turn leisure time
activities to supplementary income
for the home.
The extension home economist
has learn-at-home packets for those
whose schedules don’t allow them to
attend workshops. For parents of
inants or toddlers, she has support
groups and learn-at-home services.
A program called “Your New Life
Alone” can help the newly divorced
or widowed to adjust to his or her
new lifestyle.
How can one person offer such
variety? The secret is access to a
network of Penn State faculty who
serve as specialists to the county
extension home economists. These
specialists develop programs based
on identified county needs and Mrs.
Kotch localizes these for Luzerne
County. This also means that Mrs.
Kotch’s programs are based on
sound research and up-to-date infor-
mation.
All Extension educational pro-
grams are available to residents in
the County and everyone is invited
to participate.

LECTURES
DR. ELLIS W. ROBERTS will
deliver remarks on his recent book,
The Breaker Whistle Blows,
Sunday, February 10, 1985, begin-
ning at 3 p.m. at Temple B’nai
B’rith, 408 Wyoming Avenue, Kings-
ton. This presentation is being spon-
sored by the Wyoming Historical
and Geological Society.
The Breaker Whistle Blows
recounts selected highlights of the
anthracite coal period between the
Avondale Fire in 1869 and the Knox
Disaster of 1959. Dr. Roberts’s
research of these and intervening
disasters has revealed that a power-
ful labor champion emerged follow-
ing each major disaster.
The Avondale Disaster in 1869
claimed the lives of 110 predoni-
nantly Welsh men and boys. Ter-
ence V. Powderly, a president of the
Knights of labor, rose to power after
the disaster. Twenty-seven years
later the Pittston Twin Shaft cave-in
suffocated fifty-eight men and led,
in part, to John L. Mitchell’s
ascendancy. His successor, John L.
Lewis, emerged on the labor scene
after the 1919 Baltimore Tunnel
Dr. Roberts, the son of an immi-
grant miner, is an educator with
degrees from the University of Ala-
bama and New York University. His
research for this book led him to
numerous sources throughout
Northeastern Pennsylvania. It is
this trail of research, along with
insights gained from writing the.
book, about which Dr. roberts will
speak. ®
