You can't buy a roast beef sandwich for 15 cents or a fried egg for 20 cents at the tiny counter inside.

A heavy camera dolly had to have a concrete pad built for it at the last minute because it kept sinking. DeVito, who is also directing "Hoffa," was not pleased at the weather and the delays, which eventually forced him to call off filming before he was finished shooting the scenes. DeVito who cursed the weather gods at night and signed autographs happily in downtown Oakdale by day will return again one night soon to finish shooting the diner scenes.

The proposal only addresses dogs and cats; other pets are not addressed. Councilman Terrence Steiner, community development chairman, said after Monday's meeting that the borough has patterned its ordinance after one in effect in Pittsburgh. Enforcement of the ordinance is expected to come largely from complaints received, Steiner said.

Those serving as caretakers for homeless animals only on a temporary basis would be allowed no more than 10 animals at a time.
