Mrs. Leonard Scavone has been a
resident of Mooretown for about 15
years, moving there shortly after
marrying her husband, Leonard.
The former Cathy Wyatt of
Edwardsville, she thought she could
never be happy anywhere but in the
city. Now that she has lived in the
Back’ Mountain area, Cathy says
she would never want to go back to
the city to live.
She and her husband and two
children live in their modern brick
home on Scavone Mountain sur-
rounded by beautiful scenery. They
enjoy the wide, open spaces, the
deer, and other wild animals they
can watch from their windows."
Cathy’s daughter, Kimberly, 15, is
a sophomore at Lake-Lehman High
School where she is a member of
the award-winning band. Her son,
Kenneth, 9, is a third grade student
at Ross Elementary. His favorite
recreation is baseball and during
the season is a member of the Sweet
Valley Little League team.
Until recently, Cathy was ill for a
year and spent most of her time in a
wheel chair so she was unable to do
what she enjoys most — prepare
original, creative meals for her
family.
Now that Cathy has recovered,
she is making up for that year by
preparing the various foods her
husband and children like best. An
experienced cook, Cathy seldom has
to measure the ingredients she uses
but does it by estimating how much
is needed. For the benefit of Post
readers this week, she took the time
to figure the amount of the ingredi-
ents used in each of the following
recipes.
Since she was ill for so long,
Cathy now spends most of her time
doing various projects in her home
to make it comfortable and attrac-
tive. That she likes plants is evident
from the many beautiful ones
arranged in every room in her
home.
Cathy also likes to crochet and
has made afghans for many of her
relatives and friends. Presently, she
is ‘making several infants afghans
for gifts.
The City Chicken recipes is one
that makes an excellent entree for
family dinner or when entertaining
friends. It takes very little time to
prepare and only about an hour of
baking time. The Maple Candied
Sweet Potatoes go well with the City
Chicken or are a delicious accom-
paniment for the Thanksgiving
Turkey. Cocoa Mounds are easy to
prepare and are great to serve
when friends drop in to visit. For
those who like cheesecake, we sug-
gest you try Cathy’s recipe for
Cream Cheese Cake. It is not diffi-
cult to make and is so creamy it
melts in your mouth.

Weis markets, inc. as they began
“stickering”’ gallon milk containers

United Way. The reminder is seen
as the milk is selected at the store
and at home each time the gallon
container is sued.

The Northeast Pennsylvania
Chapter of the American Heart
Association today called on Pennsyl-
vania’s United States senators: to
prevent the 16 cent per pack federal
cigarette tax from falling on Oct. 1
and asked the senators to help
increase the tax to 32 cents per
pack.
“The cigarette tax helps discour-
age people, especially teen-agers,
from taking up smoking,” said Joan
Noto Carro, R.N., Executive Vice
President of the Heart Association’s
Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter.
“The federal cigarette excise tax
was raised from eight cents to 16
cents in 1982, but it will fall to eight
cents pack on Oct. 1, unless Con-
gress acts to stop it. A lower tax
would allow cigarette companies to
lower prices, making it easier for
teenagers to afford cigarettes.”
Carro noted that cigarette compa-
nies will also be able to increase
their profits at the expense of the
federal government if the tax is
lowered.
“The federal government receives
almost $5 billion annually from the
tax now,” she said. “If we allow the
tax to be cut in half, the U.S.
government will simply be giving
companies instead of using it to
reduce the federal deficit or to help
pay for Medicare and other health
programs.’’
In late July, the House Ways and
Means Committee passed a budget
reconciliation bill that would Ilow
the extension of the 16 cents per
pack tax. The Senate is expected to

consider the bill later this month,
when its Finance Committee and
then the full Senate adopt a budget
reconciliation package.
“We are therefore calling on Sen-
ator John Heinz and Senator Arlen
Specter to prevent the tax from
dropping and to support an increase
in the tax to 32 cents a pack,” Carro
said. ‘“Thirty-two cents is the level
the tax would be if it had been
adjusted for inflation since it was
increased in 1951.
Congress planned in 1982 to allow
the tax to fall because it expected
the federal budget deficit to be
reduced $66 billion by this year.
However, the Office of Management
and Budget predicted in early
August that the U.S. will have
deficits of $200 billion in 1985 and
