Mrs. Anthony Bonomo, Jr. (Pam)
of Dallas loves to cook and bake.
She also loves to eat, especially
sweets whether candy, cake or
cookies. She enjoys preparing a
variety of recipes for her husband
and shares some of his favorites
with Dallas Post readers this week.
A graduate of Dallas Senior High
School, she is the former Pamela
Kochanski of Shavertown. Pam met
her husband at the Bonomo Skating
Rink where she used to skate just
about every night of the week, but it
was not until several years later
that they were married.
Pam is presently employed as a
teller at the Merchants Bank in
Shavertown. Prior to that, she was
employed at the branch bank at the
intersection of Routes 415 and 118 in
Dallas Township.
Recently, she and her husband,
their leisure time four-wheeling (in
quads) out in the country. She also
likes to sew and usually makes all
of her own curtains, drapes and
clothes. Pam also does cross-stitch
and embroidery but her favorite
past-time is her art. Talented in the
arts, Pam, does lettering, cartoons,
sketching and water colors.
Two very important members of
the Bonomo household are their two
six-year-old, who loves Pam and
Tony but does not care for anyone
else; and a 70-1b. playful, red six-
month-old, red male, Rommel,
whose nickname is Rusty.
Rommel likes to play and enthusi-
astically greets anyone who comes
near - too enthusiastically, one
might say, since he doesn’t know his
own strength.
With the exception of the Crunchy
Peanut Butter Candy which is
Pam’s favorite, the other recipes in
today’s Cookbook are favorites of
Tony’s. The Pork Chop Dinner is as
delicious as it is easy to prepare;
the Stuffed Shells require some
preparation but are well worth it
when tasted. The Italian Wedding
Cookies and Brownies are beyond
description. Heavenly-one might
say!

4 potatoes
1 ear Green Giant frozen corn
2 T. butter

Brown pork chops in one table-
spoon oil (both sides). Wash pota-
toes, do not peel but slice them into
thin chips. In the center of a fairly
long piece of heavy duty aluminum
wrap place the ear of corn. In front
of corn, place two of the pork chops
and the other two chops on top.
Stack the potatoes over the corn and
chops, place butter on top of the
potatoes, springle with salt and
pepper. Fold over the aluminum foil
and seal the ends and top tightly.

The words “buckle up for safety’
will now appear on all checks paid
out of the Commonwealth’s general
fund beginning April 14, State Trea-
surer R. Budd Dwyer announced
today.
“This periodic reminder to wear
seat belts certainly can’t do any
harm, and it might do a lot of
good,” Dwyer said of the program.
The slogan will appear on the face
of each check paid by the state
Department of Treasury out of the
general fund. Such checks total
approximately 737,500 a month.
Voicing his support for the volun-
tary safety belt program in Penn-
sylvania, Dwyer cited statistics
compiled by the U.S. Department of
Transportation indicating, that
approximately 15,000 lives could be
saved each year if everyone would
wear safety belts while driving.
“Safety belts cut your chances of
being killed or seriously injured in a
crash by about 50 to 55 percent,”
Dwyer said. ‘Knowing that, the
Treasury Department want to do its
part by reminding all those who
receive Commonwealth checks that
buckling up for safety makes

gram complements the programs of
other Commonwealth and Federal
agencies to encourage the use of
seat belts,” Dwyer added.
