BEST WISHES to Mr. and Mrs. Macri, owners of Overbrook Inn, who became parents of twin girls, Nicole and Lauren, on July 24. The two pink heart balloons adorning the Inn are sure appropriate since I’m sure these little darlings have captured their parents’ hearts. Congratulations! MY GOODNESS, what an exciting week with the Tiger Hunt in Nicholson. One wonders if there actually was a giger sighted, if the cat was actually a tiger JOAN or if there KINGSBURY actually was a cat. Oh, well, it caused us all to wonder a little, anyway. -0- BEST WISHES to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Pauletti, Chase Manor, Shavertown, who observed their 50th wedding anniversary July 19. The couple was honored at a surprise dinner party at the Nanticoke American Legion Post Home. They were married July 19, 1936 by the late Rev. Biczysko in St. Stanislaus Church, Nanticoke. Attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Czock, Garfield Street, Nanticoke. The Paulettis have two children, Joseph Pauletti, San Fernando, California and Mrs. John Wilkes, Chase Manor. They also have two grandchildren. -0- MRS. HELEN EARLES will be honored this evening with a dinner at Shavertown United Methodist Church for her years of dedicated service as church secretary. I know that whenever I phoned the church, the most pleasant person answered on the other end. Helen is moving to Youth killed Maryland and will be missed by many in the Back Mountain. -0- MEN OF GATE OF HEAVEN churches will spend the weekend of August 22, 23 and 24 at St. Alphonsus Retreat House, Tobyhanna.

Lee, a professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at College Misericordia journeyed to Newcastle, England to present a paper to the British Society for Research in Higher Education. Following the educational conference, Lee and Fran toured the country visiting such varied places as Stonehedge, the Roman Wall and the Tower of London. Renting a car, the couple traveled throughout the beautiful English countryside, meeting the very congenial people, enjoying the delicious cooking, staying in charming country inns like the Crown Head built in 1630. They also visited southern Scotland, where the heather, although not in bloom, abounded with a fragrance much like lilacs. -0- LEE AND FRAN are not the only traveling in Europe this summer. Their daughter Elizabeth is now visiting near Vienna as part of a Wider Opportunity from Girl Scouts. Traveling with 12 other scouts, Elizabeth will tour the Alps where she will spend two weeks camping and hiking. Her high school German is coming in handy since tickets have to be purchased, signs have to be read and every day chit chat can be helpful if understood.

The Back Mountain’s July 1st Bloodmobile, held at the Dallas Senior High School, resulted in 183 successful donations from a turnout of 192 potential donors. On July 15, a Bloodmobile at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Shaver- town netted 126 successful donations from 128 attempts. The July 15th Blood Drive topped the target of 120 donations set by the Back Mountain Blood Council which sponsored both By THOMAS P. LAVELLE Special to The Dallas Post Some of the advertisements that appear in newspapers and magazines may lead some people to believe that Social Security asks for a fee in exchange of the services it provides. This is simply not so. Social Security never requests and would never accept a fee for any of its services; conversely, anyone who does request a fee in exchange for Social Security-related information does not represent us. Yet, some people do pay for information that is freely available from any Social Security office. The confusion stems from the fact that some private businesses that do provide information for a fee use the words ‘Social Security” in their names. Whether or not this is a deliberate effort to confuse the public, the result is the same: Many people are led to believe that these companies are affiliated with the Federal Government and, in fact, represent Social Security. These businesses often operate in a gray area that may be difficult to define as either legal or illegal; however, Social Security can and does take action when it appears that the public may be confused about whom or what these companies actually represent.

MEMORIAL HWY. PHONENUMBER— Bi Trucksville, PA | u/s COUPON. SL on Ro A Women across America are moving into the business world by learning income tax preparation skills. Learning a skill like income tax preparation is a good way to open up career opportunities and help save money at tax time, as well. H&R Block, the world’s largest tax preparation service, is offering a basic income tax course starting September 3rd and 4th with morn- ing and evening classes available Courses are ideal for those want- ing to develop a new practical skill or for those interested in challeng- ing themselves. No prerequisites are required to enroll. Classes are held over a 13 week period. An experienced Block instructor will guide students through all phases of income tax preparation. Classwork will include discussion, practice prob- lems and actual experience pre- paring individual tax returns. New tax laws will be explained. Skills learned in the H&R Block Income Tax Course could be the key to entrance into the business world and a way to earn extra money or qualify for a possible job interview with H&R Block. Employment with Block can mean flexible hours, a plus for many women with children at home. Block, however, is under no obli- gation to offer employment, nor are graduates under any obliga- tion to accept employment with H&R Block. One low course fee covers all textbooks, supplies and tax forms required for class. Certificates and 7.5 continuing education units will be awarded upon successful com- pletion of the course. Registration forms and a bro- chure for the income tax course may be obtained by contacting the H&R Block office at 211 Wyoming Ave., Kingston, telephone 288-9367. Courses are being offered at five area locations. We can ask an organization to change its name to avoid any confusion about the fact it is a private entity and is not affiliated with any governmental agency. We can ask any organization to print a disclaimer (in type at least as large as its name) in which it states very specifically that it is not affiliated with any governmental agency and has no connection with Social Security. If the organization does not respond to these voluntary efforts, we can enlist the assistance of the United States Postal Service, which has the responsibility to act when it finds that an individual or organization is attempting to obtain money through the mails by false representation.

Jeff Townsend, Chairman of the Back Mountain Blood Council, noted the totals for both drives were excellent in particular because they were held during the summer, his- torically a very low response period for blood donations. “The summer is generally a low intake period,”’ said Townsend. “Since people are on vacation or busy with other things, they forget to come out and donate.” Nevertheless, Offset Paperback in Dallas provided 50 percent of the donors who gave during the July 15th Bloodmobile, which was basi- cally an industry drive. The remain- ing donors came from Encon, Native Textiles, Commonwealth Telephone Company, and the com- munity in general. All four compa- nies represented are located in the Back Mountain. “Our one disappointment was that only 15 first-time donors showed up on July 1,” he said. “We normally have bout 25 first-time donors at a drive. Obviously, we need to encour- age more non-givers to become donors.” The next Back Mountin Bloodmo- bile is scheduled for September 4, 1986 at the Shavertown United Meth- odist Church in Shavertown. 1.39 Lb. 99: 92.19 43.09 31.79 $2.99 $1.89 ee 0 0 00 oo
