They should impeach Reagan.” Man injured Li Joseph Balla, of Box 163, Sweet Valley, was treated for throat and chest cuts after being involved in an accident with his 1981 AMC Spirit Sunday afternoon. Balla was reportedly travelling west on Main Road in Sweet Valley when he lost control of his car. The auto then weaved through a used car lot, only to go through the side of a-two- car garage owned by Don Wesley, damaging two cars. Wesley stored freshly painted cars in the garage. Sweet Valley Fire Co. and Ambulance assisted at the scene of the accident. A female passenger in the Balla automobile was uninjured. By NANCY KOZEMCHAK Library Correspondent It is beginning to look like Christmas! The stores are deco- rated for the season, the restau- rants and the business offices are being decorated and the Back Mountain Memorial Library is also decorated for Christmas. The staff at the library is planning a Christmas Open House on Monday, December 22 and Tuesday, December 23rd between the hours of 2 and 5. We invite our friends and patrons in to visit and tour the library and enjoy cookies with coffee or punch during those hours. The staff Christmas stockings are hanging in the office area, our lighted nativity and Christ- mas holiday scene is set up and the children’s room has its own special lighted tree. Our lovely six foot decorated Christmas tree is set up in the foyer and the staff at the library Bill, Nancy, Marilyn, Charlotte, Lisa, Melanie, Patricia and Pat- rick, wish everyone an enjoya- ble holiday season with a spe- cialy hope for peace in the world and joy in your hearts. The children’s department presented Susan Danoff, a sto- ryteller, as a special Children’s Book Week program and 90 fourth grade children from Dallas Elementary School attended, along with their teach- ers and other visitors. Our chil- dren’s librarian received per- sonal letters from 22 of the children, thanking us for invit- ing them and saying how much they enjoyed the program and liked seeing our library. We had a photographer take a picture of the group of children with the storyteller and that picture is hanging on the bulletin board near the children’s room. The library circulated 7,381 books during the month of November; 4,655 adult and 2,726 juvenile titles. Total new bor- rowers joining the library were 108, reference questions totaled 712 and 575 new books were added to the collection. Book Club members borrowed 219 books and Interlibrary ‘loan transactions totaled 26.

OC. instock 0 ¢ | WARRANTED TO BE A W-B (823-5852) “Whirlwind” by James Clavell takes place in a mesmerizing period of 24 tumultous days just after the Shah has left Iran in February of 1979. The life-and- death struggle of rival factions to take control has resulted in a civil war in which few know who is on what side - or for how long. It is an epic tale of war and peace. “A Taste For Death” by P.D. James is a doubly intriguing novel; replete with suspense and all the pleasures of the puzzle, alive with its own sharp and often surprising perception of life. The novel opens with two men lying dead in the vestry of a London church. One is rich, cultivated, elegant; the other is an alcoholic tramp. It is a quicksand case whose mysteries touch the victims and suspects and ultimately the investigators themselves. (Nancy Kozemchak is the assistant librarian at the Back Mountain Memorial Library.
