The sale of the “Entertainment '96" book is sponsored by the Friends of the Back Mountain Library. New books at the library: “The Oxford Book of Friendship” cho- sen and edited by D.J. Enright and David Rawlinson. This book is divided into 12 sections, begin- ning with thoughts on the nature of the phenomenon, and how to keep friends and how to lose them, then moving to friendship among men, among women, between men and women (including the troub- led territory where friendship modulates into love and lover yields or fails to yield to friend- ship), between humans and ani- mals, in youth and in age, friend- ship under stress, imaginary friends, failure and betrayal, rec- onciliation, absence and loss. The editors have framed an account which is as coherent and unified as the subject allows. “The Perfect Soldier” by Ralph Peters takes on one of the most troubling episodes in recent American history: the Soviet In- carceration of American POW’s, and their abandonment by the United States Government. AU.S. Army goodwill mission to a former Soviet republic has ended in ter- ror and tragedy—one officer murdered and a second deliber- ately maimed. The real shock waves hit behind closed doors for whoever takes control of: POWER. “Legacies” by Janet Dailey has created a new dynasty—the Stuart and Gordon families—telling their story in a grand sweeping novel colored by history and emotions. In this breathtaking work set against the explosive backdrop of the Civil War, a part-Cherokee man and a Union officer’s daugh- ter find themselves drawn together by a desire as wild as the hot summer winds—and torn apart by a heritage of passion, feuds and unbending pride. The Back Mountain's hometown paper ...from people who live here "Coming to The Dallas Post is like visiting family when Olga Kostrobala is at her desk to greet you." Ld | for Cal Coolidge. Olga Kostrobala is definitely not one of your wet-behind-the-ears juniors. She may in fact even be a senior, but will not admit to voting Olga does more than one job at The Post, and does them all exceedingly well. In addition to setting type on a Macintosh computer she handles the classified ads, the legal notices, and ~~... puts out the "Only Yesterday" ~~. column, a popular editorial page feature which explores happenings in our area up to 60 years ago. Olga also fills in on the phones, and says, "They haven't given me a broom..yet!" There are no pets in the Kostrobala household (discounting husband Teddy) but she has her two pet hobbies; bingo and bowling. The Kostrobalas have three children, George, Donna and Gary. Olga is another local person who helps put out the Back Mountain's hometown paper, The Dallas Post. The Back Mountain 'S The Dallas Post x Church (continued from page 1) which will also feature music by the choir and organist Larry Sorber. According to information sup- plied by the Rev. Hamilton Clemow (“Pastor Ham"), the congregation first held Sunday school and worship services in the little red schoolhouse opposite the Shep- herd home and later in a new schoolhouse which replaced the priginal after it burned down. The Rev. Harry F. Henry, as- signed to the charge in 1919, started a building project with the foundation and a roof, which cost $3,000, on land donated by Mr. and Mrs. Whitney Howell. The main floor housing the sanctu-' ary, which cost $5,894; was added after 1923 and was built of block faced with stucco. It was dedi- cated the week of January 1-6, 1928. Founding families included the Martins, Myra Carlin, the Hilde- brandts, Benjamin Brace and trustees George Snyder, Peter Roushey, George Spencer, John Lumley and John Ross. S. W. Newberry of East Dallas built the structure, which was designed by Fernbrook architect George Russ. Paul Shaver of Dal- las did the electrical work, while Earl Monk installed the heating ‘plant. G. H. Paddock of Kingston made the beautiful stained-glass windows. While gathered for a photo, lay leader Jay Bloomer, Pastor Ham and trustees Gerald Culver and Robert Moore reminisced about their memories of church's early days. Pastor Ham grew up in the East Dallas church, where the men of the church inspired him to enter the ministry. Although assigned to other churches before return- ing to East Dallas in 1991, he never really left it. “Your heart is always in your home church,” he said. “I'm very fortunate to return here as its pastor. Our members are good country folks, very warm, caring, concerned people who drop everything to help out when there's a need. They love their church and their Lord.” Moorerecalled a special Christ- mas program, in which his daugh- ter, Patricia, played Mary, his son, Keith, was Joseph and he was a - Wise Man. : “We had a live donkey, whith we brought into the church,” he said, laughing. “The whole church was filled with people.” Bloomer met his wife, Peggy, at East Dallas, where they attended Sunday school and the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship.) One of his best memories is the box lunch socials, in which the adults prepared lunches which were (Sp onsored by the LCCC Alumni Association) 100+ Craft Nencore Raffles * Face Paintin Call the Franklin First Mortgage Experts Did you close on your mortgage in the last 18 months?

Moore recalled the church's pancake suppers, which are still well-attended by Back Mountain residents and friends. His cousin, retired store owner Robert Moore, made the mouth-watering sau- sage from a special Yeripe: EL Sunday school, fall festivals, auctions, hay rides, ice cream socials — the list goes on. Unfortunately the 96-member congregation is now mostly older folks, soyesteryear's activities live on mostly in memories. There aren't enough children to hold Sunday school any more. The East Dallas Church is part - of the United Methodist Carver- ton Charge, composed of congre- gations at East Dallas, Center- moreland and Dymond Hollow. Served by one minister, each congregation elects its own ad- ministrative council to run the church, board of trustees to take care of the building and grounds and lay leader. The lay leader at East Dallas is Jay Bloomer, while Gerald Culver heads the trustees, Mrs. Marilla Stanton heads the administrative counciland Mrs. Carol Eyet heads the Women's Christian Class.
