No. 9 Shop
By PAMELA AARON
Staff Correspondent
A girl could go absolutely crazy in here. My exact words to Betty
McDonald, owner of the No. 9 Shop on Franklin Street in Wilkes-
Barre. The fluid lines and designs of No. 9’s imported clothing,
jewelry, gifts and headgear are simple in their sophistication; classy
in their overall uniqueness.
Fabrics in turquoise, royal purple, sand, ivory, teal, fuschia and
virtually all colors of the rainbow are comfortable, natural favorites:
own or are stunning by themselves.
The original name, No. 9, is not of John Lennon origin, as many
would believe. !
“Our first store was located at No. 9 South Franklin Street,” says
Betty. She and the late Hilda Richards went into business close to 22
years ago, specializing in imported clothing and gifts.
“The first shop was only eight feet wide and 70 feet deep,” says Ms.
McDonald. ‘“We’ve had three of them; moving here after the flood of
Lay LE
She looks up to inspect an Electric Blue loose weave cotton shirt on
a oman at the mirror and suggests she try on some of the other
colors.
“Everything is imported and contrary to what people expect, often
a lot more reasonable than American made clothing,’ she continues.
“We attend at least three shows each year in New York and all of us
go...We all participate in the selection and this makes our selection at
the shop, varied and interesting.” She laughs, “we’re all chiefs and
no Indians. Jane Matthew, Paulette Montante, Yule Spencer and
myself, all appreciate one another’s tastes and we compliment each
other well.”
Though apparel comes from all over the world, selections from
China, Japan, India, Europe abound; fashion accessories in ivory,
bronze, silver, brass, porcelain (in wonderfully unusual shapes and
sies) they all speak one language: that of original chic.
Woven tops and dresses, hand crocheted chemises and natural t-
shirts are selections far different from what one might see in
department stores. One of a kind items are plentiful here too, for the
woman who wishes to set her own fashion trends.
For example, a lovely beaded cobra belt handcrafted by Mary B.
Hetz of Arizona looks shiny and glossy over a rich, black muslin
tunic. Natural mother of pearl, jade, wood, coral and turquoise are
some of the “naturals” on display at No. 9. Silver elephant belts,
heads sculptured to form buckles on leather, are beautiful accesso-
ries, that appears very real in their glass and chrome showcase.
Topping the showcase are porcelain, Japanese dolls, with scarlet
cumberbunds over milky blue white bodies, looking out over the
“international operations.”
By now I really am going crazy...and I’m soon to go broke as well.
There are far too many things I love and each way I turn I see more
and more. Each selection more beautiful than the last.
You'll see exactly what I mean when you visit No. 9., open 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Medicare helps protect people 65 and older from the high costs of
health care. Others elibible for Medicare coverage include disabled
people under 65 who have been entitled to Social Security disability
benefits for at least 24 months and insured workers and their
dependents who need dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant
because of permanent kidney failure.
One part of Medicare - hospital insurance - helps pay the cost of in-
patient care and of certain kinds of follow-up care. The other part -
medical insurance -helps pay the cost of physicians’ services and out-
patient services and of certain other medical items and services not
covered under hospital insurance.
If you are eligible for a Social Security or railroad retirement
check, whether as a worker, dependent, or survivor, you are eligible
for hospital insurance protection once your reach 65. Federal
Government workers and certain members of their families may also
become eligible for hospital insurance on the basis of the worker's
Federal employment.
If you are 65 and older and have not worked long enough in Social
Security covered employment to be eligible for hospital insurance,
you can get the coverage by enrolling and paying a monthly
premium. If you buy the hospital insurance portion of Medicare, you
must also enroll in the medical insurance portion.
You should apply for Medical coverage three months before your
65th birthday even though retirement is not being considered. This
will assure that your protection will start the month you become 65.
More information about Medicare can be obtained at the Wilkes-
Barre Social Security Office located in Room 2227, 20 N. Pennsylvania
Ave. The telephone number is 826-6371.
