CONGRATULATIONS to
School District, managed to
the hospital, having the surgery
words, it is necessary for the
Howard and Laura Samuels of
Dallas on the recent birth of
their very first great-grand-
child.
The Samuels granddaughter,
Marcie Evans, gave birth to an
8 pound, 2 ounce bouncing baby
girl in Collings Lake, N.J. on
Sunday, November 16. This is
the first child for Marcie and
her husband, John.
Marcie is the daughter of the
Samuels’ daughter, Karen.
Howard and Laura are plan-
ning a trip to Collings Lake in
the near future to officially wel-
come the new addition to the
Samuels family. And, judging
form the excitement in their
voices when they speak of her,
they’re both going to have an
awfully difficult time waiting.

ROXANNE OPALICKI, pro-
prietor of Heart of Fashion,
Dallas, found out just how small
the world really is the other
day.
Engaged in a telephone con-
versation with a gentleman who
is employed as the vice-presi-
dent of the ‘Personal’ com-
pany, a women’s clothing com-
pany, Roxanne was giving him
the address of her business and
attempting to explain where
Dallas, Pa. is located.
Much to her surprise, no
explanation as to the location of
Dallas, Pa. was necessary. The
gentleman had grown up on
Machell Avenue in Dallas.

I SAW a bumper sticker the
other day that brought a smile
to my face and I thought I'd
pass it on to you this week:
“When you gripe about the
farmer, don’t talk with your
mouth full.”
Makes sense to me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREET-
INGS are extended to Fran
Dotty
MARTIN
Roginski of Lower Demunds
Road in Dallas, who is celebrat-
ing her special day today,
November 19.
Fran was treated to a surprise
birthday party this past Sunday,
given by her children, Debbie

MRS. WILLIAM R. LEWIS of
the West Side called our office
the other day to tell us about a
book she had found in her house
recently.
The book, which is a baby
book, is about a baby whose last
name was ‘‘Plass’’ and who was
born in 1891. Mrs. Lewis thought
that maybe if there are any
relatives of the Plass family
living in the Back Mountain
seeing the book. Anyone who
would like to read it can call me
and I can get in touch with Mrs.
Lewis for them.
Mrs. Lewis is the mother of
Betty Brokenshire and Blod
Shaffer, both Back Mountain
residents.

A FEW WORDS OF
ENCOURAGEMENT to Dallas
Post columnist Jean Hillard
who just returned to work after
undergoing heart surgery at
Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in
Kingston.
Jean, who surprised the heck
out of all of us by checking inte
and returning home before any
of us ever knew what was hap-
pening.
Admitting she’s a better
person when her mind is busy,
Jean returned to her job at the
cosmetics counter at Stapinski’s
Pharmacy in Dallas on Monday.
Here’s to you, Jean - hope
you're feeling better by the time
you read this.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
are such an important part: of
any newspaper because they
give the feaders an opportunity
of just reading what the news-
paper has to say all the time,
the readers can let the readers
know what they’re thinking, too.
However, an editor cannot
publish any letters unless those
letters are verified. In other
editor to first contact the
letter’s author to make sure the
author intended the letter to be
published.
