Birthday celebrated Jerry. Ogurkis, an eighth grade student at the Dallas Junior, High School, celebrated his 14th birthday on April 14 by winning his fifth consecutive Mid-Atlantic States AAU Wrestling Championship at Bloomsburg University. Nearly 7,000 wrestlers from NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD and VA compete in a series of tournaments to reach the State finals. Many outstanding wrestlers go down in defeat and only a: select few know the joy of victory. Jerry pinned all three of his opponents during the two-day com- petition and did not allow a single point to be scored against him during the entire competition. Jerry faced his toughest opponent in his semi-final match. He faced the current 158 lb.. AAU National Champion, Butch Crawford. In one of the most physical bouts of the tournament, Jerry's performance was flawless. Although the score did not reflect the intensity of the match (Jerry ran up a score of 14-0 before pinning Crawford in the third period), this was probably the best bout of his career. Jerry finished the season with a 36-0 record and included among his wins the 154 1b. Jr. High District Championship, the prestigeous Walp Tournament 154 1b. Championship and the AAU Mid-Atlantic District, Regional and State Titles. Jerry is looking forward to next year’s wrestling season and hopes to fill a spot on the senior high school team. Shavertown is the Penn State Wilkes-Barre representative to the Cherry Blossom Queen contest on Saturday, April 27 in Wilkes-Barre as part of the Festival events.

My husband plays basketball five nights a week. He goes to his games directly from work and I don’t see him until after the game is over. We have a two year old son at home and I think my husband should be spending more time with him. I think the early years of a child’s life are important and it’s crucial for both parents to spend time with the child. As it is now in our house, I am home alone all day and all evening with my son and, by the time my husband gets done playing basketball, either my husband is too tired or the baby is already asleep. My husband and I have a very good marriage and this is the only problem we are experiencing. But, every time I approach him on the subject, he tells me he needs his freedom. Is there a solution to this problem, Aunt Patty? Please help! WIDOWED IN TRUCKSVILLE DEAR WIDOWED: Make sure you show your husband that even though the baby has cherish and need him as much or more than ever. Perhaps one eve- ning a week you could get a babysit- ter for your son and attend the basketball practice to watch your husband and go out to dinner together later. Maybe your husband feels left out of the family now. Many first-time fathers feel awk- ward with babies and become more interested in their sons when they become more of a boy rather than a baby. I’m 26 years old and I've only had three dates in my life. I'm not a beauty but rather plain and simple- looking. It’s hard for me to meet new people. I live in a small local town and work a second shift job where I have little opportunity to talk to others or have evenings free for a social life. I live alone and I'm beginning to think I’ll never meet that special someone. How can I get someone to even give me a second look? I'd like to be close to someone. Or at least for a start have someone to have dinner with, watch TV, or see a movie. Any suggestions? LONELY DEAR LONELY: Instead of first looking for some- I HAVE HAD A FEW PROB- LEMS pertaining to old age that have kept me from writing my column, but have kept notes and will condense them for an update of Center News. -0- AFTER BEING AWAY FROM THE CENTER for a spell, I was surprised one day when I walked in and saw all the activity. The first to catch my eye was the group of seven women working on the quilt in the next work area Mary Vonder- heid had her needlecraft class, nearby the afghan was in its final stages. Then Alma Moorhead had her Octogon Loom out working on a pillow. Those playing suffleboard, pool and cards were just as intent on their games as the working on the projects, but what really got my attention was the smiles on the faces of the people in the room. You could sense the feeling of pride in their work, and pleasure and fellow- ship in their games. -0- IN THE PAST THE DALLAS CENTER has always held a St. Patrick’s Day party. This year we had an Ethnic Day Dinner to honor all groups in our community. It was a huge success with 81 members and friends partaking of a meal of Baked Ham, meatloaf, piggys, scallped potatoes, baked beans, cole slaw, and Welsh cookies. The meal was prepared and served by the following: Jane Hady, (center manager), Florence Owens, (Nutrition), Myl Wagner, Madelon Steinhaur, Marion Kunigonis, Edie Williams, Bertha Wood, Eva Jen- kins, Elinor Calkins. A RUMMAGE AND BAKE SALE was held at the center. Mary Von- derheid was chairperson of the Rummage Sale, Grace Resio, PHYSICAL THERAPY OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY DIETARY SERVICES (with therapeutic diets) ACTIVITIES PROGRAM (Individualized activities) (Group Activities) PHYSICIAN SERVICES SOCIAL SERVICES DENTAL SERVICES SPEECH THERAPY BEAUTY SHOP PASTORAL SERVICES chaired the Bake Sale.

With the ages of kids from 60 years to 90 years young, almost everyone joined in the hunt: The prizes were candy filled Easter Baskets, The winners were: Mamie Pauletti, Ruth Byrne, Irene Triben- der and Bertha Wood.

Begin with some physical improve- ment; a healthy diet, new makeup, a color analysis, some new clothes, a new hairstyle and maybe a tint or color change, a new exercise pro- gram - whatever will make you look and feel better. You can present an attractive image without being a raving beauty. The key is to feel good about yourself. Other people tend to be attracted to those with self confidence: Next make a list of all places where people gather on the evenings you have free. Some sugestions are the Back Mountain Christian Sin- gles, activities at Misericordia Col- lege or Penn State University (like the sports car rally held this past Sunday), volunteer your services at the library, become active in a church group or: special-interest club. Try out whatever appeals to you - not just as a way of meeting “someone,” but as a way of making friends and expanding the life you now lead. Don’t overlook the companionship and fun you can have with good female friends. Do plan to use some of your leisure time creatively. Did you ever think of taking music lessons, adult education classes or even skin diving lessons at Harveys Lake? Get busy. Before you know it you won’t have enough time to fit everything in.
