OPERATION “TEEN SHOVEL"

Snow can be looked at in several ways. To those older folks who are not able to shovel the white stuff, it can mean days in the house with no way to get out.

But to Borough teenagers, it can mean extra money ‘‘Operation Teen Shovel” was recently announced by Commissioner Owen P. Quinn, who heads the Borough’s Department of Public Safety. “What we’re doing is trying to find as many Borough teenagers as possible who are willing to shovel snow after a snowfall. These teens will have to personally go into the Police Department and leave their name and telephone number. Then, should we get a snow

storm, we ask that older Avalon citizens, who are not able to shovel their own walks and driveways, to contact the police department at 967-3411, for the information. "The Borough can not be responsible for the quality of the work nor for the payment of any part of the work,” Quinn added. “What we’re trying to do is keep the senior citizens, who may be prone to heart attacks after shoveling snow, indoors. It will give younger people, who are better able to handle heavy work, such as shoveling snow, a chance to make a little extra money.” The project known as “Operation Teen Shovel” is another public service of the

THE BOOK CORNER

SIX OF ONE

BY RITA MAE BROWN There is never a dull moment in this novel, which chronicles the lives of two sisters from the early 1900's to the present. Julia (Juts) and Louise (Weezie) Hunsenmier have lived all their lives in the small town of Runnymede, on the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. The town itself is as divided as the two sisters seem to be. Straddling the Mason-Dixon line, during the War between the States half fought for the north and half for the south. On holidays, the organizations of each section of town alternate in

leading the parade.

Nicole, or Nickle, as they call her, Juts’ daughter is a writer, and we hear the story through her. Cora, the sisters' indomitable mother worked for the beautiful and wealthy Celester Chalfonte, who defied the traditions of 1911 by living openly with her female lover. Cora, was more than a servant

By Leslie Steyson

She was depended upon all through her long life by Celeste, her daughters, and all who knew

her.

Juts and Weezie spent their lives vying with each other, but when the chips were down, each knew her sister was thyone person who cared. One of the things that makes this special is the way the author explores the relationships between women, and the variety

of women assembled. The strong

and wise leadership of Cora is complemented by the integrity of Celeste. Weezie’s future is changed when Celeste sends her to a private Catholic school. There are Celeste’s friends, man-crazy Fanny Jump Creighton and Marxist Fairy Thatcher, both of whom have surprising changes in their lives as they grow older. There are many touching and heart warming moments in the book as well as comic and

amusing ones.
