New president
The Junior League of Wilkes-
Barre recently held its final busi-
ness meeting of the 1984-85 year at
the Westmoreland Club in downtown
Wilkes-Barre. Mrs. Pat Rosenthal,
out-going League president, con-
ducted the meeting, which was pre-
ceded by a cocktail hour and dinner.
Established in 1934, the League is
a non-profit organization that sup-
ports other local non-profit agencies
and services with financial assist-
ance, administrative guidance, and
volunteer services. Mrs. Rosenthal
has presided over two of the
League’s most challenging and
rewarding of its history.
During this time, the League
noted its 50th anniversary year with
the sponsorship of the area’s first
Decorator Show House. Over a 22-
day span the house, located on
Sutton Road in Shavertown and
renovated by some of the area’s
finest decorators, was toured by
over 4,200 people and $44,000 was
a $50,000 contribution made to the
United Way of Wyoming Valley for
the establishment ofthe county’s
first Volunteer Action Center. The
agency opened its door in December
3
of 1984 and actively coordiantes and
supports volunteer activities
throughout the county. i
Over $11,000 was also contributed
to several local agencies during the
past two years through grant
awards from the League’s Commu-
nity Trust Fund. In 1985, the organi-
zation established its infant and
toddler car seat program, Project
K.I.S.S., which provides legally-
required seats to residents within
Luzerne County on a rental basis.
Over $3,000 was recently raised
during a two-day art show and sale
sponsored by the League and the
Marquis Art Gallery, funds which
will be used to maintain the project.
Mrs. Rosenthal resides in Dallas
with her husband, Richard, and
their two children, Liza and Ste-
phen. Though her time-consuming
duties as League president are over,
Mrs. Rosenthal won’t be any less
busy come fall. A substitute teacher
for several years, in September
Mrs. Rosenthal wil be a full-time
instructor of health and physical
education at Wyoming Seminary
Day School in Forty Fort, teaching
children in the kindergarten through
8th grade classes.

Fall Fair
grounds
renovated
Extensive renovations are cur-
rently underway to mae the 1985
Luzerne County Fair the best and
most successful since it began 17
years ago. The fair, scheduled from
Wednesday, Sept. 4, to Sunday,
Sept. 8, provides five days of live
entertainment, hobby arts and
crafts and 4-H entries and exhibits,
hundreds of commercial exhibitors
and food concessions, and thrilling
rides by S&S Amusements, for over
40,000 people who attend annually.
Hours are Wednesday to Friday, 5
p.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday and
Sunday 9 a.m. to midnight.
The grounds committee, chaired
by Robert Bayer, Dallas, has
approved the leveling of an addi-
tional eight acres of land, three for
the expansion of the amusement
ride midway, and five for more
commercial exhibitor space and the
erection of a permanent horse show
arena. The new horse show ring,
approximately 150’x300’, will pro-
vide a location for the 4-H and other
community groups to hold horse and
livestock shows.
Earlier in July, over 50 people
representing the nine 4-H groups in
Luzerne County spent numerous
hours clearing rocks from the arena
area. From July 8 to 20, the Luzerne
County Road and Bridge Depart-
ment, under the direction of the
County Commissioners, graded the
eight acres of land for seeding. Also
helping were Dallas Boro, Dallas
Twp. and Lehman Township Road
Departments. :

Leaking faucets, broken window
panes and cracked walls are just a
few of the common problems that
try the patience and pocketbook of
homeowners and those who rent.
Most of these problems are too
small for a contractor.
However, most of these repairs
are easier than they appear to the
novice. To remedy this lack of
knowledge and expertise, a booklet
has been issued that provides
simple, step-by-step, illustrated
directions for performing simple
home repairs - with clear, precise
basic instructions that can make a
person who considers himself “all
thumbs” into a competent do-it-
yurselfer. It’s the next best thing to
having an in-person expert teaching
you.
What to look for in diagnosing a
reapir problem, the tools and partic-
ular materials’ you'll need to fix
itand how to go about it all all
simply stated with easy-to-under-
stand drawings.
In addition to faucets, window
panes and walls, the booklet has
information on simple electrical
reapirs, how to fix screens and
storm windows, simple plumbing
repairs, and making problem doors
Other sections deal with the use of
basic tools and types and applica-
’
e
tions of nails, screws and bolts.
The booklet should save lots of
money on reapir bills. In addition
you’ll probably find most jobs take
less time to finish that it does to
locate a competent reapirman will-
ing to do the work. And the savings
are substantial.
