A récent Quaker visitor to the Back Mountain from Australia, Sheila Mason, stayed with the Mertills in Shavertown and spoke at a North Branch Meeting. She described the work of Quakers in her country and said they were very coneerned about Australia’s leading role in the production of landmines. Mason explained that “Quakers are leading efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of land mines world wide.” -Anotherendeavor ofthe Friends locally is their regular visits to Chase. Correctional institute in Dallas: An inmate had written requesting information on Quaker heliefs and practices. Susan Merrill said, “One thing led to another, and now we have five Quaker couples each Friday hold- ing worship meetings for inter- ested inmates. And their interest is certainly deep because when you think about it, they have a lot of time to ponder about life!” She adds, “Besides what it means to the inmates, these wor- ship sessions give our own mem- bers a unique and deep feeling of satisfaction which is difficult to put into words.” During the summer Quaker weekly meetings are held at mem- bers’ homes or parks such as Ricketts Glen. Starting in the fall regular meetings will convene as usual at Wyoming Seminary Lower School, Wyoming Avenue in Forty Fort. Adult discussion is at 10:00 a.m. with children’s Sunday School, and at 11:00 a.m. for wor- ship.

GMC motor coach fans gather at Irem Temple oy By ANN POEPPERLING Post Correspondent DALLAS TWP. - The Colonial Travelers motor coach club gath- ered at the Irem Temple Country Club campground, Dallas, for a rally, July 12-14, swapping sto- ries about their unique vehicles and the motor coach lifestyle. Rally co-hosts Ray and Rose Whelan of Lake Silkworth are three-year members of the club, which has met at the Irem Temple for 11 years. “This is my favorite rally,” said Whelan. “Not only because it's close to where we live, but it's also one of the most popu- lar and most attended. Last year, we had 33 coaches here.” Whelan, a retired railroader from Long Island, moved to Lake Silkworth with his wife about three years ago and boughta 1976 GMC Palm Beach motor coach. “We've been camping about 25 years,” he explained. “We went from a tent to a pop-up, to a trailer, and now to a motor home.” The common bond for all the members is their unique type of traveling home, the GMC motor coach, of which only about 12,000 were built between 1973 and 1978. “These are the classics,” said Whelan proudly. “Most are 26 footers but some are 23 feet long.” A unique feature of these ve- hicles is that they have front wheel drive and are built on the Oldsmobile Toronado or Cadillac El Dorado chassis, rather than a truck or bus chassis, explained ten-year club member Christa Beline of Tupper Lake, New York, formerly of Dallas. “After the 1978 gas crunch, the auto manufacturers downsized «PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE ‘& Sale # PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE &€ HENDREDON ® SHERRILL € LANE & STIFFEL € LEXINGTON © ROWE SHOWPLACE Sizzling | S Umm er Things are heating up at Town & Country's sizzling semi-annual sale, where the entire store is on sale.

They are the owners of a 26 foot 1974 GMC Eleganza SE, oneof 11 ever made. Another benefit for the owners is that these GMC's values appre- ciate. While originally the motor coaches may have cost around $18,000, today one may have to pay about $30,000 for a model in good condition, said Whelan. However, most Colonial Trav- eler members agree the best ben- efit is the comraderie they share at the rallies. “We do a lot of ‘tire kicking’ and comparing notes,” said Beline. Members also get together for activities like golf, shopping trips and sightseeing at area attractions. During the evening, members gather on the pavilion for good food and an ice cream social after- wards. Members also entertain each other with their own special talents, including music, singing, and sometimes dancing.
