There was very little rain this year, however, the two major defects proved to be the excessive heat and humidity and the small ‘innocent’ elm spanworm. The heat kept many auction-goers from getting here early and evidently they had their late afternoon meal elsewhere. The refreshment stand suffered from this aspect as did the auction block bidding program. The number of people signing up for bidder numbers was down quite a bit from last year. I understand this new vora- cious ‘king of the forest'—the elm spanworm has already left about 1 million treed acres in Pennsyl- vania practically leafless. We have to hope the natural predators— parasites that attack elm spanworm egg masses—will cause a population crash. If spraying is needed, it won't happen until spring. Hopefully, our area will not suffer. The auction, as always, is a major summertime event in the Back Mountain. The lemonade and ice cream stands were very busy, doing volumes of business. Bill Jones, general chairman, of the '93 auction has our undying gratitude for his efforts on our behalf. Our auction treasurer and his finance committee have not completed their accounting; therefore, a net amount of profit has not been reported. The grounds committee is busy stor- ing the auction equipment and restoring the grounds. We look forward to Auction 1994; our 48th annual! The winners of the 50/50 chance items were: 1st place, Cathy Thomas; 2nd place, Mary Jane Gover and 3rd place, George Bauman. The antique chance items were awarded to Diana Dreher, 1st prize, Victorian lamp table; Fred and Shirley Templin, 2nd prize, a chenille teddy bear and Jeff Getz, 3rd prize, an an- tique brass scale. New books at the library: “New Flavor of the Month” by Olivia Goldsmith is a sharp, sassy Cin- derella story, updated by nineties style from Hollywood. Actress Mary Jane Moran—never a beauty—has just lost not only the off-Broadway role she created but also the only man she ever loved. Hollywood has stolen both, and rejected her as too fat, too plain and at 34, too old for the movie version. She has no power as an actress or a woman. “The Horse You Came In On” by Martha Grimes is a Richard Jury novel. He is supposed to be on holiday when the telephone call comes. And in any case, what has sudden death on American soil to do with an English police super- intendent? When the victim turns out to be British by birth, he pries himselfloose from his holiday and crosses the Atlantic.

How the bidding will go is anyone's guess, although The Post knows for sure of several bidders who intend to try for it. Large crowds gathered both days for the Lollipop Open Invita- tional quarter-midget racing pro- gram Saturday and Sunday at the track on Memorial Highway. At- tendance and entries were from many states all over the east. Two Back Mountain boys won places in the events.
