A GET WELL WISH goes
to a fellow employee,
Jacquie Helmann who
fractured a bone in her foot
last weekend. Lots of things
han ned to Jacquie in a
week. It all began when she
got carried away at the
concert at Split Rock Lodge
in the Poconos and fell.
Having x-rays taken, no
cast at first, then on Monday
they determined it was
fractured so on went the
cast. On Wednesday the toes
were in trouble from the
| cast, so off with the cast.
Hobbling, hurting, and
mending, Jacquie is back to
her normal routine of going
to college at Penn State
days, working at Stapinski’s
evenings, and ignoring the
ain in between. Someone
old me she came home with
a sprained foot last year
from this same ‘‘wild
event.” What's in store for
next year, Jacquie?

Accepting books
Dallas Post/Charlot M. Denmon
Trout Unlimited.
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Members of the Endless Mountains Chapter of Trout
Unlimited donated more than 100 books and nine video
cassettes, last week, to the Back Mountain Memorial
Library.
The donation was made by the Chapter in an effort
to make people aware of the quality and diversity of
angling and conservation literature and its role in the
broadening of environmental awareness.
The books included not only current authors and
subjects but also classics in angling literature, many
of which are out-of-print, collectible titles available
only through rare book dealers at considerable cost.
The video cassettes are the first obtained by the
library, and include subjects of fly tying and fishing.
Combined with the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s
existing collection on angling, these books should
create the largest collection of angling literature in the
Northeast.
Trout Unlimited is America’s leading cold water
fisheries conservation organization with local chap-
ters, such as Endless Mountains, throughout the
country.
The Endless Mountain Chapter was chartered in
1975 by local sportsmen concerned by the channeliza-
tion of many streams after the 1972 and 1975 floods.
Since that time, the chapter has been active in
numerous conservation and educational projects in the
area.
Members of the board of directors of the Endless
Mountain Chapter include Ed Ancas, West Wyoming;
Ralph Brunza, Kingston; John Conyngham, Trucks-
ville; Charles Gelso, Shavertown; James Hoyson,
Shavertown; Richard Mills, Lehman; Robert Moase,
Sweet Valley; James Nixon, Wilkes-Barre; Joseph
Precone, Sweet Valley; and Robert Wywiorski,
Duryea.
