(Photo by Linda Shurmaitis) Ladies auxiliaries going strong BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Members of the Lehman Fire Company Auxiliary announced recently that they were con- ‘ducting a membership drive in the township in the hopes of adding to their membership which presently only has nine members. “We are recruiting on a per- son-to-person basis,” said Char- lene Cook, vice president. ‘“We need to have more members, both young and old to keep the auxiliary functioning. Without ‘an auxiliary there is no support behind the fire company.7?’ The nine members of the auxiliary are hardworking, ded- jcated women, who work to- gether on projects to help raise funds for equipment needed by the firemen such as a furnace, new chairs and helmets, all of which these women have made ~ possible during the past several years. The auxiliary has been in existence for years but each year it has decreased in mem- bership. The present members are hoping to supplement their numbers with other women in the community. “We could use help with our Breakfast with the Easter Bun- ny, the baked goods booth at the Luzerne County Fall Fair and our Christmas Boutique,” Cook explained. The auxiliary members meet the first WednEsday of each month in the fire hall for a half hour to one hour, and plan various activities to raise mon- ey for the company. The last Saturday in March, they have a bus trip planned for Atlantic City and the third Saturday in April they will hold an indoor flea market. Members would not have to go out other than the meetings except when we do something special, Charlene Cook ex- plained. Officers of the auxiliary are Mrs. Edward Gunn, president; Mrs. Cook, vice president; He- len Gunn, secretary and Elda Coolbaugh, treasurer. While the Lehman Fire Auxil- iary is having difficulty recruit- ing new members, Shavertown Fire Company Auxiliary, chart-- ered 25 years ago, has approxi- mately 30 members, at least 20 of them very active. They also raise funds to pro- vide necessary items for the fire company and in December presented $5,000 for equipment needed. Prior to that time, the auxiliary purchased a commu- nications system for the fire company. Some of the members said they enjoy the auxiliary be- cause they are kept busy with one project after another. There is also good rapport among the members and when there is a fire, the auxiliary members supply coffee to the firemen while they are on duty, working right alongside the firemen. Members are of various ages which also helps in maintaining membership. They have a jun- ior auxiliary, which is not ac- tive at the present time since those who were members have moved up to the regular auxil- iary. The Shavertown Auxiliary holds bingo parties two times each month, every other Thurs- day, and each month a differ- ent person chairs the bingo. They also have breakfasts which are very successful. Every Christmas they also participate in the Back Moun- tain Auxiliaries Christmas par- ty which originated many years ago. Each Christmas, the auxil- iaries get together and a differ- ent auxiliary annually hosts the party. The auxiliary is always open to new members. Officers of the auxiliary are Betsy Joyce, president; Janet Roberts, vice president; Holly Back Mountain on the BY JEAN HILLARD Back Mt.

In Kunkle the fire- men depend on the members of the committee to help them when they have their bazaar or other projects. “Residents of the community have always been very cooper- ative and pitched in to help at food stands and other places where they were needed,” said Mrs. Jack Dodson, whose hus- band is president of the Kunkle Fire Company. In Northmoreland Township, one of the newest fire compa- nies, there is no auxiliary but the fire company has social members, who can be men or women. “Our social members are people who pay $2.00 annual dues to cover their insurance and come out to help with our fundraisers,’” said Gary Storey, vice president of the company. “Many are semi-retired or re- tired people who are looking for something to do and we have women who do the same. We never campaign for mem- bers but we also have younger people, who join. They are not allowed to fight the fires but they carry the equipment and do other such tasks.” The Northmoreland firemen run bingo every Monday night and an all day bingo on Sun- day. They serve a meal in mid- afternoon and in the evening usually serve sandwiches. So- cial members come out to help with the project and at bazaar time, a few extra people come out to help. Jackson Township Fire Com- pany has a very active auxilia- ry but like Lehman Township have a small membership. Dal- las Fire Company Auxiliary folded several months ago due to a lack of interest and decline in membership. move for a week to 10 days after the surgery.

Dr. Clyde Houseknecht AIDS lecture presented Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, Asso- ciate Professor of Biology at Wilkes College, will give a lec- ture on AIDS March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Darte Center for Performing Arts on the corner of River and South Streets. The lecture, entitled “AIDS and the Gay Community,” is open to the public, -free of charge, and is presented as part of the college’s Faculty Seminar Ser- 1€sS. ! Dr. Houseknect became in- volved in AIDS research while studying for his masters of Public Health degree in Epide- miology at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity. In addition to attending classes at the university, he became a member of the staff of Project SHARE (Studies Helping the AIDS Research Ef- fort), one of only four such projects in the United States, and one of the first to examine the AIDS problem through be- havioral study. In seven months at SHARE, Housek- necht conducted more than 250 interviews of subjects involved in the study. “SHARE has an outstanding reputation. I was eager to be- come involved, but when I went before the SHARE board to interview for the staff position, I was surprised at feeling a certain amount of ‘homophob- ia,” fear and lack of under- standing of homosexuals,” said Dr. Houseknect. ‘By the end of my time there, I had learned an important lesson in under- standing and compassion.” The Dallas resident also holds an A.B. from Lycoming Col- lege, an M.S. from Penn State University and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. Read and weep Everyone has heard the phrase “read it and weep,” but teachers and students at the Lake-Lehman elementary schools can “read it and laugh.” Thanks to the ECIA Chapter I Parent Advisory Council, the halls are decked with colorful shapes. Parents on the council took time to print, laminate, and cut out cards to use in the unusual reading activity. Printed on these shapes are riddles, puns and jokes. Al- thouth it takes a little longer to walk through the halls when stu- dents pause to read the questions, this activity does provide an extra reading opportunity. Teachers and students can have fun together as they share the questions and an- swers with each other.

One of the most rewarding things you can do for tomor- row’s leaders is to serve as a 4- H adult volunteer today. Volun- teers not ‘only give leadership to 4-H experiences for youth, they keep the program relevAnt to local community needs and in- terest. Today, 159 4-H adult volunteers share their skills and experience by assisting young people in a variety of 4-H projects and activities. Volunteers do not have to be experts in specialized subject matter areas. They can rely on Cooperative Extension at Penn State and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide them with training, educational materi- als, and resources to use in the 4-H program. + The land-grant system makes 4-H uniquely qualified to meet both the con- testant and ever-changing needs of young and older people alike. The 4-H volunteer corps is 600,000 strong nationwide. Vol- unteers are the backbone of a basic and cost effective system which delivers practical educa- tional experiences to some 4.3 million 4-H members in the Unit- = States. The time, travel and Suppo volunteers contribute is ed at $1 billion annually. The 4-H program provides many opportunities for growth and stimulation for adults ard helps them attain enjoyment and seli-fullfillment. Help prepare the young people in your communi- ty for tomorrow by joining the ranks of 4-H volunteers.
