Bargain Bakery, Harveys Lake
Highway, Dallas, has a new-owner -
Karen Spudis of Dallas.
Karen, although new owner of the
bakery outlet store, is not new to
most residents of Dallas. She is the
former manager of Carol Carroll's
No Appointment Hair Salon, located
next door to Karen's new business.
“I decided I wanted a change
after doing hair-styling for 11
years,” said Karen. ‘‘So, I decided
to try the bakery business when the
opportunity came along.”
Prior to managing Carol Car-
‘roll's, Karen was employed at Holi-
day Hair Fashions for nine years.
This is her first venture in business,
but she is enthusiastic about it and
has many plans for the future of the
baked goods outlet.
She has the store stocked with a
wide variety of fresh breads includ-
ing Arnold, Maier’s and Levy's.
| Customers will find white, rye,
| granola, oat, wheat, pumpernickel
-.and specialty breads such as
English Muffin.
| Bargain Bakery also offers a line
of fresh potato chips, pretzels, pop-
corn, and snack crackers. There are
also Tastykake pies and snack
cakes, cookies, pies, spices, pre-
serves and jellies, all at lower than
regular prices. These are offered at
| savings for the big family or per-
sons on fixed incomes. .
In the near future, Karen plans to
have a weekly “Fresh Pie Day’’ and
also run other specials from time to
time.
3 The former Karen Strazdus,
~ daughter of the late August and Ann
Strazdus, and a Back Mountain
native, she purchased the Bargain
Bakery Store from Pat and Earl
| Rozelle, owners for the past three
| years.
The Bargain Bakery will be open
Monday through Thursday from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 8
p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6
p.m., for the convenience of shop-
pers.
Santa arrives
at WV mall
Santa and his reindeer have been
spotted leaving their stomping
grounds at Operation Santa Claus
and heading for Wyoming Valley

almost 100 reindeer tht make their

extremely restless as Christmas
draws near.
In groups of five, they head out to
country. Each team consits of four
sleigh reindeer and one ‘‘Rudolph’’.
They will be visiting Wyoming
Valley Mall on Sunday, Nov. 17th at
noon. These popular reindeer teams

other cities in Pennsylvania, New

| Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Califor-
nia, Oregon and Washington.

Are you a viewer who believes
that the majority of TV program-
ming today is inferior, or perhaps
one who has had a favorite series, a
quality one, cancelled due to low
ratings? Then the Viewers for Qual-
ity Television is for you.
The Viewers for Quality Televi-
sion, co-founded by Dorothy Swan-
son and Donna Deen, is an organiza-
tion whose purpose is to band
together those viewers who recog-
nize and appreciate excellence on
television, and to insure that no
quality program ever again be can-
celled due to poor ratings.
Speaking on behalf of the VQT,
Dorothy and Donna have appeared
on such TV shows as ‘‘Entertain-
ment Tonight,”’ ‘‘Good Morning
America,” ‘‘Morning Break,” and
“Town Hall.’ Membership in the
organization is continually growing.
Members are asked to write the
networks applauding them for qual-
ity shows, to TV critics, and to the
advertisers of quality shows, thank-
ing them for their sponsorship.
Readers are probably now asking
themselves what constitutes a qual-
ity television show. According to the
co-founders of the VQT, “It is a
show that dares to be different. It is
innovative and usually requires
some time to develop a core audi-
ence. A quality show is realistic and
intelligently combines drama,
humor and pathos. It is well writ-
ten, sensitively directed, and
superbly acted. Every episode con-
tains potential to entertain, inform,
and enlighten.
A quality television show captures
our hearts and our minds, not just
our. fancy. It involves us. We feel
that we are there. The characters
become so real that we feel we
know them. When a quality televi-
sion show ends, we do not shut off
our TVs and forget who and what
we have seen. We have assimilated.
The characters remain with us.
They have moved us and made us
think, and we are grateful for that
gift.
A quality television show is a
statement. A quality television show
attracts and keeps a fiercely loyal
following. We dare to name a few
quality shows currently on network
television: St. Elsewhere, Cagney &
Lacey, Hill Street Blues, Miami
Vice, Cheers, The Cosby Show and
Kate and Allie.
A quality television show is a rare
gift to be kept and cherished, even
fought for if necessary. We urge
viewers to write the networks and
ask them to continue their favorite
quality television show. The Ameri-
satisfied with - is comlacent with.
Cagney & Lacy, while a rare excep-
tion, proved that the democratic
process, even in television, works.
Viewers not only have a vote, they
have power - and a responsibility.
They should exercise it, and not
leave it to the anonymous. 1700
Nielsen families. Discerning view-
ers want and need intelligent series.
But unless they demand it, they
may not get it.”

Most personal checking accounts
are real losers. Because the money
you deposit into them just sits there.
Doing nothing.
But no more! Because now
United Penn Bank offers you Hard
Working Checking. And it’s a real
winner. Here’s how it works:
On balances up to $500, it’s a
regular checking account. But, when
your collected balance is between
$500 and $1,000, Hard Working
Checking pays you 5%4% interest,
compounded daily, on the entire
collected balance. And when your
collected balance hits $1,000, Hard
Working Checking pays you even
higher market rates!
Hard Working Checking has lots
of other pluses, too. Like no
working!
