Help for meals program

The Potter County Area Agency on Aging is asking for public support its Holiday Meals Program. The organization provides about 270 nutritious meals a week to homebound seniors who are unable to cook for themselves.

Program helps enable seniors to remain independent and in their own homes as long as possible. The need is greater over the winter months. Persons donating $20 or more will receive five winter scene note cards. Those wishing to donate should send a check, payable to the Potter County AAA, to Agency on Aging, c/o Holiday Meals, P.O. Box 241, Roulette PA 16746. For more information, call 544-7315.

will be collected to benefit the Coudersport Ministerium Emergency Fund. Singers from 10 area churches will perform.

Rules against school

Summer employment contracts with six employees of Coudersport Area School District have been restored by court order, resulting in back pay for the affected employees. Judge Robert E. Dalton of Tioga County found in favor of appellents, ruling that the school board's actions were "arbitrary and capricious." The affected employees are librarians Marty Maiuro and Jean Johnson, vo-ag teacher Earl Brown, and guidance counselors Linda Hamilton, Susan DeVaughn and Rachel Minard. Judge Dalton reversed an arbitrator's order that the school board was justified in eliminating the extended contracts as a cost-cutting measure.
