She arrived in the United States at the end of August and has been staying with the Saba family. “I am having an exciting time with them and with all the new friends I am making in Lake- Lehman. In three days my host parents are taking me to Florida for two weeks. I hope it's going to be much warmer than here,” said Kelly. “It has been six months since I arrived in this country and I am anxious when I think that there are only four months left before I return to Switzerland. This is a great experience.” Francesca Barba is an Italian student from Perugia. She is al- most 18 years of age and has a brother Luca, and a sister Maria Sole, both younger than she is.

Now I live temporarily with the Oellers in Harveys Lake. They have another exchange student Aida from Panama staying with them. I want to thank them for the won- derful time thatI had and still have with them,” said Francesca. The enthusiasm the students have for their fellow students and the activities they are enjoying at Lake-Lehman are evident when talking with them.

Broeker said the goal for this year's walk was 1,300 participants. However, she believes nearly 1,500 will take part. rhe exact number of partici- pa™its will not be known until the day of the event, but Broecker said that a large number of walkers ale already pre-registered. he believes the success of past walks has contributed to the large number of participants this year. “It's incredible,” said Broecker. “I guess word of mouth has been one of our best promotions. People who have taken part in past walks have told their families and friends about it.” % SUPER CITIES WALK TO FIGHT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Sunday, April 7 Starting at 10:00 a.m. Register at Grotto Pizza parking lot Information: 824-7411 The event helps to raise money for research and services for per- sons suffering from MS. Those who walk around the lake take in pledges based on the number of miles walked. Broecker said the average dona- tion collected for each walker na- tionwide is $100. Locally, that number is a little lower, but Bro- ecker sees it rising each year. “Locally, the average per walker is $86-$90,” she said. “It has in- creased over the last few years and we urge all participants to shoot for that sum in donations.” The local walk has received a lot of help from area businesses and other organizations. Grotto Pizza will be providing food for all par- ticipants the day of the event. Broecker said that local radio and television stations also have been instrumental in promoting the walk. Also helping with promotions are students from Wilkes Univer- sity, including Adam Tillman of Dallas, who feels he has gained a lot from helping with the walk. “Things have gone really well,” said Tillman. “The MS Society has Early childhood education at Lake-Lehman + The sixth session of Lake- Lehman's early childhood/pre- school program will be held April 22 through April 26, featuring pre- school screening and registration for kindergarten. .

The Post to be printed by Pittston Dispatch The Dallas Post may look a bit different to readers this week, because we have changed printers. The Post and its sister paper, The Abington Journal, had been printed by the Milton Standard since September, 1988. Beginning with this issue, the newspapers will be printed by Pittston Publishing Company, whose chief publication is The Sunday Dispatch, a weekly Among the changes will be the appearance of subscribers’ mailing labels, and the fact that the newspapers will be printed in two sections when they are 18 pages or larger, which is most of the time. When we are two sections, we will make a few other changes meant to make reading The Post more pleasurable. Among them will be moving many of the “jumps,” that part of front page stories that don’t fit on page 1, to the back page of the first section. The second section's front page will carry sports, while the balance of the section will contain school news, classified ads and the calendar. Other news will appear in the second section as space allows. "It's a happy coincidence that we're changing printers as The Post continues to grow in circulation and advertising," said publisher Ron Bartizek. "The new format will help to organize One other benefit that is expected will be improved reproduc- tion of photographs. The Dispatch is noted for its excellent photo reproduction, and The Post hopes to take advantage of We will appreciate our readers’ feedback on these changes, especially if they seem to have any effect on delivery time to their homes.

Even though the past walks have been successful, theweather hasn't been cooperative. Broecker laughed when she said she was really hoping for a nice day on Sunday. “We've had everything from rain to snow to even hail during the past walks so I guess the only thing left is lots of sunshine,” she said. The walk is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. from the parking lot of Grotto Pizza. Interested partici- , pants can register up to the start- ing time.
