MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
lot has happened in one Nas
time. I am now looking forward
to being back on the job and,
hopefully when you read this,
I’ll be selling cosmetics again.
Each day I feel a little stronger
and the pain is getting less, it’s
now time to fill my mind with
other things and work is the
best medicine.

“THE FIRST SNOWSTORM of
this season on Tuesday of last
week was beautiful, because I
was inside looking out. Many
accidents were reported and
two of my friends JoAnn Long
and Joyce Sabol of Sweet Valley
were the unfortunate ones who
were involved in an accident.
JoAnn’s dog was in the car with
her and was killed while JoAnn
was hurt and Joyce badly
shaken. I'm glad to know they
are both O.K. now.Both of their
cars were very badly damaged,
one being totalled. The first
snowstorm never goes
unnoticed, unfortunately.

MY MOTHER, Ann Farver,
watched Channel 16 with anxi-
ety as she had chosen Tuesday,
Nov. 11 at 8 a.m. as the first
snowfall of one inch or more.
The winner, of which there were
the first inch was measured.
The snow blower didn’t go to the
Back Mountain this year.

A CONTRACT was signed for
the sale of our home, if all legal
procedures go as planned the
new family will move in Janu-
ary 23. That’s an interesting
story also, but until it’s final I
won’t share it.
We have chosen our wooded
lots and hopefully all zoning ete.
will be O.K. and we can begin
plans for our log home which we
also have chosen plans for.
Even our Siberian Husky, ‘‘Bo,”
who no one wants to take care
of, has a temporary home as he
will be a guest at ‘Creature
Comforts’ while we are in an
apartment. Finding an apart-
ment for just a few months is a
chore as everyone wants at
least a year lease. Add a dog to
that and you’re out in the cold.
We do have an opportunity to
sublet an apartment that will
help us and the person who
would like to move into a home
in December. Funny but it looks
like everything will work out
after all. “Bo’’, who’s a number
one priority in my husband’s
life, has been our toughest prob-
lem. His rent will be more than
mine but he’s our responsibility
so off to a doggie motel he goes.
NANCY ROWLANDS of Pear
Tree Lane, Dallas, is moving
right along as chairman of Fed-
eration Day, 1987. Nancy will
lead all of the women’s clubs in
Luzerne County toward a goal
of $40,000 over a two year
period, to benefit the F.M.
Kirby Center for Performing
Arts.
Each year the Luzerne County
clubs set one specific cause
aside and donate towards it.
The average has been $20,000
each year and I'm sure this
year will top it. Nancy and her
husband Bob own Rowlands
Appliances in Kingston. They
are Back Mountain residents
and Nancy is a past president of
the Dallas Area Federated
Womans Club. Volunteers do a
lot for our community, support
Nancy.

HODNE stopped by one evening
last week with an apple strudel
and for a visit with my husband.
They informed me they came to
‘‘chat and have coffee with

was getting too much attention
and I guess they were right.
Charlie has been happier ever

TRAVER, Tunkhannock cele-
brated their golden wedding
anniversary on November 14.
Fifty years of marriage gave
this fine couple seven sons, 31
grandchildren and 11 great-
grandchildren.
An open house was held on
Saturday at the Beaumont

turned out in numbers to con-
gratulate and enjoy their long
time friends. We too added our
congratulations to the Travers

years of health and happiness in

~JERRY HARRISON, an

Yamaha-Honda shop in Trucks-
ville had a surprise on Friday.
Jerry has been employed at
Majors for quite some time now
and Friday was his last day
there as he will be leaving for
the service and stationed in
Texas.
Not only did his fellow work-
ers surprise him with a going
away party at work, but also
with a “belly dancer” to send
him off in a happy way. Jerry, a
redhead by nature, was red-
faced as well but his embarass-
ment was well covered by his
smile. Everyone will miss you
Jerry, workers and customers
alike. May your future be filled
with fun, and belly dancers if
you so choose! Good luck to
you. -0-

Stacey Fitch prepares to take a bit of ‘‘Betcha’ Life’’ candy
bar, a product which she has been promoting through
television commercials.
Is Stacey enjoying
herself? You ‘betcha’
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Writer
Stacey Fitch of Dallas, only a sophomore at Dallas High
School, is already becoming known to television viewers
throughout this part of the East.
The youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Fitch, Jr.,
Stacey is the young lady you're seeing enjoying a ‘Betcha’
Life” candy bar almost daily on WBRE-TV/Channel 28. The
commercial has been on the air for nearly a month now.
Stacey did her second commercial last Thursday. This time
the commercial was a big promotion including a display case
filled with candy bars, a filming that was set up after the
agency called to tell Stacey the Linette Company wanted to do
a second promotional film. Linette is the maker of the candy
bar.
Stacey studied at Holmes Modeling School and Agency in
Kingston. She enrolled in a 16-week course of three hour
classes, beginning last November and had classes in commer-
cials, public speaking, make-up, modeling, etc.
Following the course, Stacey did a photo session and went to
the agency office to view the slides. While there, the head of
the agency told her she and one other student were to try for
the commercial.
“We had to bite an imaginary candy bar,” said Stacey.
‘“The other girl was adorable, I was sure she made it.”
Stacey said she was surprised but overjoyed when Richard
Holmes called her and told her the company had selected her
as the model. “He told me they chose me because they
wanted someone young, vigorous, very outgoing and blonde,”
she said.
“I’ve had a ball doing the commercials,” Stacey added. “I
would like to do some modeling but I have other goals in the
future. I hope to become a doctor. Presently, I am very active
in school and in my studies.”
She is an honor roll student, member of the Student Council,
member of the sophomore class steering committee, Nesbitt
Hospital Explorers and also a member of S.A.D.D. She enjoys
ice skating, takes vocal lessons and took tap and jazz lessons
for six years.
“The candy is delicious, it’s similar to a Peanut Melt. It has
a peanut butter center and is covered with rich milk
chocolate,” Stacey said. “The company is trying the candy
* bar as a pilot project in this part of the East. It isn’t in stores
all over the country as yet.”

how built up it has become. It
has definitely changed from a
rural to more residential area.
Many new businesses are
opening giving us lots of places
to shop.
Best of luck to the new pet
shop located on East Overbrook
Avenue and the Craft Room,
Memorial Highway in Dallas.
Pet lovers will appreciate the
Pet Shop, since it is the only one
in our community. The Craft

tiful items, but offers classes in
