Showdown —— (continued from page 1) said. “They may turn over the ball but that doesn't bother them because they'll go for the big play anywhere on the field. “Our kids will have to play a mistake free game and they will have to hit hard - harder than they ever have. We match up in size fairly well, although the Grenadiers may be slightly big- ger.” Jackson said he was happy to have the week off prior to the game because it gave his kids a chance to heal some minor inju- ries. He knows his team lacks some of the experience of the GAR team but they played three of the same teams that the Grena- diers played during the season and his Mountaineers came out with some big wins. “This will be the first team that has been really tough,” Jackosn said. “I've been telling the kids that all season; ‘we haven't got to the big ones yet'.” Jackson hopes it will be a fun game for both teams and he knows both teams will be up for the contest, since the team that finishes the season 9-1 will sit home at playoffs There is no wild card team in Division B. “They’re ready for us and we're ready for them. I'm happy that the game is out here on our field and if they can beat us, they will have earned it,” Jackson said. In comparing quarterbacks, Jackson said both are outstand- ing athletes. “GAR'’s Johns is a great athlete and he is fast. Our quarterback Jay Staigis is big- ger and stronger and he's hard to take down. Our kids aren't quite as fast as the Grenadiers, but they're tough and they're stong and they know they have to play perfect football.” Game time is 1:00 p.m at the Dallas field, but it may be hard to find a seat for those who don't arrive early.

Denmon, Post writer, Ronald Baritzek, publisher, Joseph Tirpak, Luzerne County treasurer. By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The addition to the Dallas Ele- mentary School is approximately 50 percent completed, accord- ing to District Superintendent Gerald Wycallis. “The four classroom addition is nearly enclosed, the roofis on, the plumbing is in and the floor is poured,” Wycallis said this past weekend. Wycallis also said the steel studs are in and the steel structure is completed, so he estimates the project is close to 50 percent completed. The completion date is De- cember 18, so if all goes well the project could be two months ahead of the original date. The additional four rooms will make it possible for the art and music rooms to be separate as they were in the past and next year there will be room for an additional kindergarten class which should ease Westmore- land Elementary School. Wycallis said the additional AHEAD OF SCHEDULE - An addition to the Dallas Elementary School is nearly half finished. It may be ready for use two months ahead of schedule. (Photo by Charlot M. Denmon) Dallas elementary additon half completed room will also make it possible to -have a computer room and with the new rooms there will be space for at least three kinder- gartens and probably a first or second grade. The use of the rooms will de- pend upon the student popula- tion next year as to whether they are best used for kindergarten or first or second grade. The addition of the four rooms, it is certain, will alleviate the crowded conditions in effect due to lack of space. DR. ROBERT GREENHALGH PRESENTS Insomnia: Worry makes it worse. A simple routine can cure it I have trouble falling asleep, but I don't want to start taking sleeping pills. What else can I do? Not all people need the same amount of sleep. For instance some healthy adults sleep three or four hours every night without apparent ill effects. Others may need 10 to 12 hours, or they'll feel tired the next day. A person has insomnia if his inability to sleep interferes chronically with his efficient daytime functions, regardless of how many hours he sleeps each night. Surveys have shown that as manyas 30 percent of Americans suffer from insomnia to some degree. Insomnia is not that difficult to cure—it only gets worse the more you worry about it. You can help yourself fall asleep each night and wake up re- freshed the next morning by following a few simple steps: First, rid yourself of stress before bedtime. Don't dwell on the day's unsolved problems. Don't say “I should have done that.” Instead, think “I could have done that, and I will soon.” Regular daily exercise, such as jogging, swim- ming, tennis or brisk walking, will help you sleep better at night. But occasional, one-shot exercise does not directly influence sleep that night. Some quiet exercises before bedtime can help you fall asleep more easily. To help yourself relax, lie down on the floor or sofa and relax your body, one part at a time. Breathe from your abdomen, and as you inhale, feel the breath seeping into all parts of your body, gently massaging all the places that are tired and sore. Now, keep breathing this way and concentrate on the rhythm of your inhales and exhales. You will find yourself slowly relaxing, getting ready for a good night's sleep. Establish a definite bedtime routine for yourself, and use your bedroom for sleeping and sex. Don't use it for working, studying or watching television. You should think of your bedroom as a quiet, restful place for sleep. Avoid taking naps during the day. Plan to go to bed at the same time every night, and get up at the same time every morning. This is all part of a healthy bedtime routine. Don't sleep more than you —P— fs need to feel refreshed, because excessively long periods in bed seem to be related to fragmented and shallow sleep. A heavy meal close to bed time may keep you awake. However, a light bedtime snack, like a glass of warm milk or a bowl of cereal and milk, seems to help some people sleep. Drinking such caffeine- | containing beverages as tea, coffee, chocolate and | cola drinks, in the evening disturbs sleep, even in | those people who like to think it doesn't. There is no evidence that an excessively cold | room helps you sleep more soundly, but studies | have shown that a warm room, above 75 degrees | Fahrenheit, can keep a person awake or cause fitful | sleep. Noise also can disrupt sleep. If this is a | problem, you might consider wearing earplugs. If you climb into bed and can't fall asleep, it means that your body is not ready to sleep. So in- stead of worrying, turn on the light and read. And relax: Worry will only keep you awake. If insomnia continues to be a persisent problem after you have tried all the above suggestions, it may mean that something more than the current situation is disturbing your sleep. In this case, you may consider seeking professional help. Sleep medication is rarely of any use other than on a temporary basis, and if used on a long-term basis, it usually becomes an additional problem.
