In general, one can predict
people’s behavior in certain
situations. A typical situation is
when family members watch a TV
program. At least one member will
make a visit to the kitchen at the
conclusion of the show to get snacks
ready for the next one. At the
movies, it is customary behavior for
most people to exit the theater as
soon as the motion picture ends, the
rationale being a visit to the snack
bar, the use of the restroom
facilities, or simply a desire to beat
the crowd and traffic.
Now there are
those, and they
constitute a small f
minority, who
deviate from the
“norm’’ and are
thereby °
consiacred we
‘exceptions to :
the rule.’ These DEBBEY
folks WYSOCKI
patiently remain seated at the
movie theater and view the long line
of credits flashing on the screen. At
home, the same people actually stay
in front of the television set and
watch intently the names of the
stars on the TV show, the
producers, the directors, etc.
It is for this select group of people
that this is being written. Very often
when credits roll across the screen,
fans find themselves asking “Who
or what is a key grip? What in the
world is a gaffer? A best boy?’

storm we had in 1955. We had 100
per cent damage to the crops,” he
recalled. ‘‘The storm lasted for
about 45 minutes. We lost every-
thing. All the fruit was battered.
That’s the sad part about farming.
A whole years work can be wiped
out with just one brief storm.
“But, back then you were still
able to survive a storm like that
because you didn’t have that much
overhead. The farm was pretty
much self-sustaining. If something
like that happened today it would be
disastrous. Now you have buildings
and equipment and other overhead.
It is so much more expensive.”
He says the risk factor is one
reason why farming has died out so
much in this part of the state.
“I remember when there used to
be farms all over back here,” he
noted. ‘‘They would touch’ each
other. But, now there’s not that
many.”

nesses from Nanticoke to Scranton,
