DENMON Staff Writer Is your Christmas shopping finished for all but those one or two on your list you don’t know what to buy for-the ones who have every- thing? It’s time then to tour some of the shops in the Back Mountain, the shops which carry unique or use- ful items, something to suit every- one. An artist on your list? Stop in Sue Hand's Studio on Main Street, Dallas. He or she will appreciate mat board, brushes, easels, oil or water colors. Jewelry is always a popular item for the lady in your life, and dozens of varieties can be found in Valen- tine's, Roth's or Ochman’s. Silver or gold chains, gem stones, un- usual necklaces, bracelets, pins and much, much more. And in some of the other shops a colorful assortment of costume jewelry can be purchased. For the person who enjoys handcrafted items, visit The Bay Window or the Hefft House where on display are candles, baskets, handmade dolls, quilted kittens or bunnies, pillows, wreaths and music boxes. Browse through and see the folk art, Icelandic sweat- ers, Cider painting miniatures and handpainted clothing. At The Bay Window don’t miss the beautiful Rock Maple diningroom set with open hutch, server, six chairs, table and table pads, like new. Back to Basics is the place to go for the woodburner on your list. They have log carriers, trivets, coal buckets and unique tea kettles. Perhaps a fireplace accessory set would please someone on your shopping list. The person who has everything should certainly appreciate a gift certificate for dinner for two at one of the popular restaurants in the Back Mountain or for the lady in your life-a gift certificate at a popu- lar hair-styling salon. Those special ones on the list who would appreciate a leather bound Bible, would certainly enjoy one of the variety found at Gifts From Above, the shop which has hundreds of gifts for the devout Christian. Remember that nothing is more appreciated than a gift that shows one cares, so why not give a written promise to baby sit so mother may go out once in awhile, or give Dad an “I Owe You" so many car washes. Give mother a certificate saying you will cook dinner one night and give her time to relax. Those are the gifts that are really appreciated and cost only your consideration. If nothing else pleases, there are always flowers so stop in your favorite florist’s and send a special bouquet or plant. They'll show you care and make Christmas com- plete. Big or small, expensive or inex- pensive, it isn't the gift, it's the thought that counts! Be careful driving at these Back Mountain trouble spots By SCOTT A. DAVIS Post Staff With winter weather upon the Back Mountain, local roads be- come more dangerous. Dropping temperatures create icy conditions and snow often coversroads. Some spots in the Back Mountain re- quire special driving care this time of year. Route 415 between Bryant's Mobile Homes and Turkey Hill is known to ice over very rapidly during cold weather. The ice usu- ally covers both lanes. The icy conditions on this stretch of road often remain long after the road has been salted. The road forms a valley and there exists a danger of cars sliding down either hill. Sev- eral minor accidents have already occurred on this stretch of road- way this fall. Route 309 near Martin's Mobile is another dangerous stretch of road during winter weather. The road ices up quickly. The location of the road on a hill with a sharp curve adds to the danger of an accident during inclement weather. The "rock cut" section of Route 309 is also hazardous to travel on during the winter months. Both the northbound and southbound lanes become slick with rain. The road also ices up quickly. The road curves in confined areas creating a dangerous situation during rainy or cold weather. After PennDOT applies anti-skid materials, the roadway usually becomes much safer to travel. The entire length of Pioneer Avenue is often dangerous to travel during winter months. Poor winter road maintenance by PennDOT results in Pioneer Avenue becom- ing one of the most dangerous roads in the Back Mountain dur- ing the winter. The greatest danger to watch for on this roadway is slick, icy spots covered by snow. Avoid this road whenever possible. Route 118 from Turkey Hill to Ricketts Glen can become iced over quickly during cold spells. The large area covered by this roadway re- sults in slow winter maintenance. The ice sometimes remains on the road for long periods of time com- pared to other area roadways. The relative darkness on this roadway created by a lack of street lights and the tree growth around the road also helps to hide slick spots. Huntsville Road in Dallas is another road to avoid if possible during the winter months. The section between Main Street and Park Street, which is located on a hill, remains icy and snow-covered for long periods of time. After plow- ing or ashing, the road has a ten- dency to freeze up again over the materials. Route 415 at the entrance to Harveys Lake can be dangerous and sometimes impassible during winter storms or cold spells. The road ices over quickly. Once snow is removed by the road crews, ice often remains on the road. Also, after ashing the road freezes over again very often. Lehman's Jackson Road also ices up quickly during wintery weather. A large number of pot- holes in the road has a tendency to break contact between car tires and the roadway causing cars to lose control during icy conditions. / This winter, the roads in the = Back Mountain will again boron dangerous to travel. While there will be some unavoidable accidents, a driver's risks can be limited on B avoiding known danger Spas. 3d fh G2 (continued from page 1) Martin McMahon Jr., Thomas Williams, Kenneth Williams, and Liz Sichler, voted down the mo- tion.
