Recreation center will be boon to our area It is virtually impossible to find anyone in the Back Mountain to oppose ns construction of a satellite to the Wilkes- Barre YMCA here. On the contrary, one of the favorite diversions among residents last week seemed to be trying to ~ guess where the facility would be built. The possibilities for the center are practically limitless. With ‘an olympic size pool, exercise facilities and acres of playing fields, the center will be a boon to both individuals and groups. The pool alone will add a wonderful new dimension to the recreational opportunities in the area. The plan to build this facility coupled with a reported surge in interest in commercial real estate signals the emergence of the Back Mountain as a major focus of development. With the expected completion of the Cross Valley Expressway only one and one-half years away, residents and officials had better | prepare for new and increased pressures on services. The | recreational center will be one new service that will be wel- : comed with open arms. ; 50 Years Ago - May 3, 1940 ST. PAUL'S CHURCH CELEBRATES 15 YEARS Dr. G.

A - at 6:30 p.m. This is the first time in recent memory that so many candidates have vied for the nomination to such a high office. Even though this is a primary and not the general election, The Post and the Council felt the public would be well-served by an event of this type. Our democratic system is structured both to encourage citizens to run for office, and to have them scrutinized by an interested public. This year’s race contains those elements, “and residents should take the opportunity to observe the result. The forum will give each candidate time for opening and closing statements, and to answer three questions from the public. The questions will be gathered from those submitted prior to the event.

There is cut glass of the high period and antique Victorian silver pieces, which include napkin rings; that have become collector's pieces. There are several other pieces of serving items in silver. There is a turn of the century photograph of ayoung lady who was 18 years old in 1881 in a Victorian type frame. The display includes a brass stand- ing mirror. The entire set-up cre- ates and interesting and exciting arrangement and gives you an idea of what to expect at the Antiques Show. The library has two unique posters hanging in the hallway and the reference room pertaining to National Library Week and Na- tional Volunteer Week. This is the week that the public is honored and thanked most sincerely for the volunteering that is done in librar- ies and other work areas by these volunteers. The American Library Association sent out the National Volunteer Week posters, which were designed and produced by ACTION, the federal domestic vol- unteer agency. It is a pleasure to display these posters as a tribute to the volun- teers who serve in our community and as an endorsement of the unique American tradition of citi- zen service. We are pleased to promote the local volunteer achievement around the nation. We had a student come in the other day and state, “This is far out, but I would like to ask if I could borrow the world”. It turned out it was for an Earth Day project and we did allow him to borrow the globe. National Library Week theme is “Reach for a Star”; this boy reached and we gave him the world. As a new feature of the 44th annual library auction, we are selling cardboard bells for $1.00 each: These bells feature the auc- tion logo with the dates of the 1990 auction and the dollar will become the seed money; as the auction begins its 44th year. The person who pays for the bell signs his name on it and we will hang them in the foyer of the library. This will be a banner year for the auction when it begins festivities on the 4th of July. We are hoping to have a family style picnic atmos- phere on the grounds with many exciting new innovations. Come intoyour library, “Reach for a Star; and Buy a Bell".
