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.

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

“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.

assistant librarian at the Back
Mountain Memorial Library.

‘Tis the
season for
a fabulous

our problem, we’ve simply advanced
our January sale and reduced the
prices on our ENTIRE fur collection by
20% or more — including mink, fox,
tanuki, raccoon, Finnish raccoon,
beaver, oppossum, rabbit, fur-lined
coats and leathers, muskrats, fitch and
many more.

you. :
