“If you haven’t purchased a library
shirt, this week’s the time to do so,” says
Nancy Kozemchak, assistant librarian at
Back Mountain Memorial Library. “We
have been selling them at the library for
the past month or two, but what could be
more effective than having hundreds of
persons circulating through the Back
Mountain Area wearing shirts encourag-
ing support of the auction?”
Nancy, who is also this year’s auction
publicity chairman, is in charge of the
new ‘‘Shirt”’ booth. She will be assisted in
the booth by library page, Melanie
Kubasti.
“John Shaskas and I came up with the
idea of selling shirts,” said Nancy.
“What’s more popular with young and
old than tee-shirts or the heavier sweat
shirts? They’re comfortable, great with
jeans or slacks or skirts and are quite the
fad, so now’s the time to capitalize on the
sale of them.”
Auction-goers will be able to buy yellow
tee-shirts at the booth in sizes small,
medium, large and extra-large selling for
$7.00; crew neck navy sweat shirts also
with the auction emblem, in all sizes, for
PAGE FIVE
$15.00, hooded navy swet shirts with
ative, collared, white staff shirts with the
library’s slogan ‘Next Chapter’ for the
new library campaign, only $12.00.
Remember, all sizes will be available in
all styles.
Nancy Kozemchak has been involved in
community activities for many years and
even when her sons were growing up, she
was never too busy to become involved.
She has been active in Women of Kiwanis
for years and is also an enthusiastic
bowler. Nancy is secretary of a mixed
league at Bonomo’s Lanes in Dallas.
During the past five years, she has

teer in the book booth.
School and, in addition to her duties as a
library page, has been busy helping
Nancy paint the walls of the new antique
storage room where items can be kept
during the auction.
“Come to the shirt booth and get your
shirt,” urges Nancy, ‘‘And while you're
there, you might be surprised at the
many new stands and events this year.
Come meet old and new friends and join
in the fun.”

The Odds and Ends Booth at the Back
Mountain Memorial Library Auction is
exactly that — odds and ends donated by
residents from all areas of the Back
Mountain. Those Odds and Ends, how-
ever, attract a lot of purchasers for the
items discarded by one owner become
the coveted items of others.
Co-chairmen Sybil Pelton and Mary
George have learned that to be true and
beginning early in the year, they started
sorting through the items being brought
in, to determine which would be the best
sellers.
Sybil, Mrs. Reese Pelton, has worked
with the auction for the past 18 years,
from the time she joined Women of
Kiwanis, and Mary George, has been
involved for just about the same length of
time.
The Odds and Ends Booth was first in
charge of members of the Dallas United
Methodist Church. The booth was started
the same year as the auction and the
church women continued in charge of it
for 24 years, until the Women of Kiwanis
took it over.
Three years ago Sybil and Mary
accepted the co-chairmanship and have
been doing an excellent job.
Dishes, pots and pans, jewelry and
knick-knacks are the most popular,

and both their sons, Louis and Alan are
married. Louis resides with his family in
Shavertown, and Alan, recently married,
is living in Camp Hill.
The children’s activities started as a
Dallas Woman’s Club project and many
of the volunteers are from the club but
the project grew so big that Adolph
offered to help Phyllis and now they have
volunteers from all areas of the Back
Mountain.
“The community is banding together to
make this year’s auction the most suc-
cessful ever,” said Phyllis. “We are
hoping that adding something special for
the young people wil lbe of interest to
them. If future auctions are to be a
success, we need the young people since
they are the adults of the future. They
have new ideas and new methods of
doing things.”

Some of the horsemen from Pocono
Downs also have been assisting her and
will do so during the auction days but
Kathy also welcomes all persons inter-
ested in volunteering some of their time
assisting her or helping at any of the
other stands.
“The mor people involved, the more
successful the auction and it will make it
easier for everyone,” said Kathy.

“People just love the jewelry,” she
dishes and glassware. We can’t get
enough of those items. Sometime we get
some items that are antiques and when
we do, we give those to the antique
committee.”
The Peltons have resided in the Back
Mountain for the past 55 years. Sybil is
an avid flea market goer and collects
antiques, particularly antique glassware.
She is also treasurer of the Women of
Kiwanis. The Peltons have a son in the
U.S. Navy and a daughter, who is a
senior at Mansfield.
The George family has resided in
Kingston Township for the past 23 years
and Mary has been involved with the
auction through the Women of Kiwanis
for 18 years. She is a past president of
the Women of Kiwanis and she also
enjoys working on the Odds and Ends
committee with Sybil.
“We have done it now for so long, it
seems to fall in place very easily,” sald
Mary.
She and her husband, Peter, have four
sons, three graduated from college and
working, and one a student at Dallas
High School.
