“No, I’m just starting now.”
NO DOUBT, the Christmas
shopping season is upon us. I
made the mistake - or should I
say I did it on purpose - of going
shopping last Friday. You know,
Black Friday - the day every
single person (every single
person without any brains, that
is) goes shopping.
It was fun - people every-
where, pushing, shoving, insist-
ing on being first in line and
moaning about having to stand
in line at all.
What was fun was that my
Christmas shopping is just
about complete and I was just
out looking — looking for some
things that I would buy only if I
liked them, not because I
needed a gift for someone. What
1 was looking at more than
items for sale, however, were
the people.
The people who are out shop-
ping the day after Thanksgiving
are really a riot. It’s almost as
if someone just reminded them
that Christmas is less than a
month away and they’d better
get their Christmas shopping
done in a day or two.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I
am not criticizing people for
shopping the day after Thanks-
giving - after all, I was one of
them. But, you have to admit
the whole idea is kind of funny
when you think about it. After
all, we all know the stores will
continue their sales beyong that
one day and we really don’t
have to kill ourselves to buy all
of those gifts in one day, do we?
GET WELL WISHES are
extended to Hap Mathers, form-
erly of Trucksville, now residing
in Littlestown, Pa.
Hap, who was stricken ill last
Wednesday while hunting in the
Forkston area, is a medical
patient at the Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital.
Hap’s wife, Judie, a former
staff writer at The Dallas Post
and now Lifestyles Editor at the
Gettysburg Times, has been
spending a lot of time in this
area, staying with Hap’s par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Richard
Mathers, of Carverton Road,
Trucksville.
Hope you're feeling better by
the time you read this, Hap!
BEST OF LUCK to Al Lipko,
proprietor of Ye Olde Clock
Shoppe in the Dallas Shopping
Center.

Corporate officers Vincent
Insalaco, Len Dixon, Sandy
Insalaco and General Manager
Joe Zoldi were everywhere,
answering questions, giving
assistance where needed and
checking what might still need
to be done.
Ayleen Landon and her daugh-
ter, Tami, were shopping. Mrs.
Landon said it was the first
time she had ever been in an
Insalaco market. She was the
seventh person in the store
Sunday morning. “It’s lovely,”
she said. “The meats are beau-
tiful and the service is good.
Tami said the employees were
very nice and the aisles were
nice and wide.
Linda Williams of Dallas was
thrilled with the store. ‘It’s
said he had been in the Insalaco
stores in West Pittston and
Edwardsville and liked them.
They’re clean, have good meat
and the prices are comparable,
no higher than other stores. He
said they have just about every-
thing.
At the check-out areas, there
are scanner checkout talking
registers giving the price, total
and the amount of change, a
fascinating procedure to the
shoppers checking out.
In the nearly 250 car parking
lot, there are very few parking
spaces empty at 9:30 a.m.,
although the store didn’t appear
to be crowded.
Other stores already located
in the shopping center were not
open that early in the day.

Al, who decided to call it
quits, announced his retirement
effective this past Monday and
says he plans to spend his spare
time in his basement - doing
nothing other than working on
clocks.
The watchmaker has certainly
made a name for himself during
his 30 years in the clock busi-
ness. Having done all of his own
radio commercials, Mr. Lipko’s
voice is one of those the radio
listener will never, ever forget.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS are
extended to Sis Birnstock, of
Clearwater, Florida, who cele-
brated her birthday on Monday,
December 1.
A former Back Mountain resi-
dent, Mrs. Birnstock sure knew
what she was doing when she
moved to the land of sun and
fun. She might miss her family
members who still live here, but
I would venture to guess she
doesn’t miss the sub-zero tem-
peratures and the snowy condi-
tions.
Happy birthday to you, Sis -
and many happy returns!
CHEERS to the Centermore-
land Civic Group which raised
more than $8,000 to help defray
the medical expenses of Janet
and Carl Brown. (See related
editorial.)
The Browns, a mother and son
who recently underwent a
kidney transplant and a rare
reconstructive heart surgery,
respectively, would like to thank
all those who contribute to the
fund. With two major operations
in one family, medical bills
have a way of skyrocketing and
the Browns are grateful to
everyone for their generosity in
helping them meet these bills.
Once again, donations are still
being accepted and may be sent
to the Janet and Carl Brown
Medical Fund, c-o any United
Penn Bank.

DR. LEONARD MEDURA,
whose dental offices are located
on Route 415, in Dallas, reports
that his son, Matt, is just loving
being a college student.
Matt, who was the first-ever
Dallas Post Male Student/Ath-
lete from Dallas High School, is
a sophomore at Villanova and
was home for a few days,
spending time with his family
for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Vacation’s over now, however,
and Matt is back at Villanova,
buckling down for final exams
which are right around the
corner.

TOM FEENEY, of Shaver-
town, principal at West Side
Tech High School, informed me
he has four children in college.
I'm sure it must be nice to
have all those highly-education
bodies hanging around the table
for Thanksgiving dinner, but I
sure wouldn’t want to be paying
Tom’s tuition bills.
