Have you stopped into the local
IGA Supermarket and gotten your
bankroll card punched this week? If
you didn’t, you had better hurry in!
If you did, this Saturday you maybe
the lucky recipient of $2,500.00!
According to Don MaGill, man-
ager of the Dallas IGA, this Satur-
wm day at 4 p.m. just like every week,
one name will be pulled from a
large drum in the front of the store.
If the person whose name is drawn
has had their pink card punched,
they will be entitled to the cash
prize.
MaGill explained, “Each time
there is a winner, we start the game
over with $100.00. If, at the end of
the weekend, there has been no
winner, we add another $100.00 to
the pot. This is the biggest amount
we've ever accumulated. It’s hard
to believe we’ve gone 24 weeks
without a winner!”’
Years ago when Dallas IGA began
its bankroll game, the names of
everyone listed in the Dallas phone
directory were put into the drum.
Since then, many people moving
into the area have added their
names by registering to play.

manager, stand with a sign
Kathy Swick, who is in charge of
the office in the store, ahs the
pleasure of announcing the winner.
“I enlist the help of a youngster who
has accompanied their mom or dad
into the store to do the actual
drawing,” says Kathy. “The kids
love it because IGA treats them to a
free % gallon of ice cream for their
efforts! If the person whose name
has been drawn is not present in the
store, we attempt to reach them by
telephone. If there’s no answer, we
keep trying until 10 a.m. Monday
morning. If they haven't answered
by that time or their card hasn’t
been punched for the week, we add
$100.00 to the pot.”
“The . people really like it,”
MaGill remarks. ‘The bigger the
jackpot gets, the larger the crowd in
the store on Saturday. Our biggest
jackpot before was $2,100, and the
woman who won it was standing in
line checking out her groceries! 80
to 90 percent of the people who play
are our customers and Back Moun-
tain residents, and some of them
who won’t be home on Saturday
stop in to leave a phone number
where they can be reached. We
even had one man who was going on
a Florida vacation, come in and
give us his number there!”

which restricts mining in an area
zoned conservation or agricultural.
According to Gregory, Brdaric
had applied to the Kingston Town-
ship Zoning Board for a zoning
change and was denied. He is cur-
rently appealing the decision in a
Court of Common Pleas.
This is the second time Brdaric
had been brought before the Magis-
trate on charges of illegally exca-
vating shale and removal of same.

John Brdaric was fined $50.00 plus
court costs amounting to $28.50.
