6 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Tuesday, November 26, 1991 Food Bank — ; (continued from page 1) services between three and five families per week during the year; the number increases to an aver- age of eight families weekly during the winter. “Our supplies generally get a bit low during the summer, but pick up once school starts,” Ms. Barlow commented. “The weekly food boxes are packed by Walter Meade and George Gaylord, two retired men who have donated a lot of their time to the Food Pantry.” Barlow added that if a family needs emergency food and cannot contact CEO, their church pastor can put them in touch with the Back Mountain Food Pantry. Students and staff from College Misericordia recently collected fifty boxes of food items ranging from baby food to hams and bags of potatoes. to help the Back Moun- tain Food Pantry. According to Father Michael Bryant of the col- lege's campus ministry, the food collection also received several cash contributions. * And the Engineering Club at Penn State Lehman Campus held a pizza sale and clothing drive to benefit the Salvation Army. - St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen in Wilkes-Barre plans to serve approximately 250 Thanksgiving meals. Director Anne Marie Mc- Cawley explained that the soup kitchen normally serves between 250 and 300 meals daily between 11 am. and 1 p.m., but because there is no public transportation on holidays, fewer people come. Some downtown churches also serve Thanksgiving dinner, she said, which also cuts down on the number of visitors, “Not all of the people whom we serve. are homeless,” McCawley added. “Many are people whose food stamps have run out, or who are working at minimum-wage jobs or are collecting unemployment and simply cannot make ends meet.” rE OR WHERE TO GET HELP - Emergency food and other assistance are available through -'several area service agencies, which can put you in touch with the people who can best help to meet your needs.

Hill the Florist 15 North Pioneer Avenue Shavertown 696-2993 ll Harveys Lake plans less spending in 1992 By ERIC FOSTER Post Staff Harveys Lake Borough projects that it will spend less in 1992 than it will by the end of 1991. The borough council had the first reading of its proposed 1992 budget at its regular meeting No- vember 19. Thel992 budget plan projects income at $560,200, and expenses at $559,879. This year, the borough projects that income will be $596,679, and expenses willbe $567,245, leaving the borough with a $29,434 sur- plus. ; The reason for the budget de- crease is that 1991 was a good year for grants for Harveys Lake. The borough received $74,800 in grants in 1990, In comparison, in 1990, the borough received only $3,347 in grants out of its $522,712 budget. The 1992 budget estimates that the borough will receive $565,200 in grants. Councilman Richard Boice, the finance chairman, said that the borough has not increased the property tax for the past nine years. Taxes in the borough will re- main the same, with a 21,5 mill property tax, and a 1% earned income tax which is split with the school district. The garbage fee from v Happy Holidays; ¢ HILLSIDE FARMS DAIRY STORE will also remain at $85 a year. Amillisa $1 taxon each $1,000 of assessed property value. Waste oil to be recycled The borough's Environmental Advisory Council will begin recy- cling used motor oil. “I knew quite of few people who have questioned me what to do with used waste oil,” said council- man David Abod, chairman of the environmental council. “I never knew what to tell them.” Now the borough has a tank to keep the oil in and a company lined up to take the ofl and process. it into clean motor oil again. ‘] Residents who have oil they'd like to recycle can call the borough building at 639-2113 to make an: appointment to drop off the oil, The oil doesn't have to be sepa-. rated by grade, or detergency. . | While some residents like to put oil on roads to keep down the dust, Abod points out that the practice: is against the law. yo Recycling update “ated The borough still has 1,200. recycling containers to be picked up.
