Wednesday. October 30, 1 974 WELLSVILLE DAILY REPORTER, WELLSVILLE, NEW YORK Page 3 Theatre just right for Halloween night SIGN David H. Huntington, president of State University Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred, and Mrs. Verda Davis, president of the Alfred Chapter, Civil Service Employees Association, sign the first formally negotiated contract on local working conditions. Looking on are, from left, William S.

Mombert acting dean of administration, and CSEA field representatives Samuel Carmen and Phillip Miller, The pact covers some 230 CSEA employes at Alfred State College. CSEA contract inked at Tech "first" was recorded here recently when a contract on local working conditions was signed between the Alfred Chapter, Civil Service Employees Association, and the administration at State University Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred. "We have had local bargaining in the Ralph Allen, Joan Tower, Lee Ryan, past but it was never formalized with a contract," she pointed out. Mrs. Davis said that provisions for a formal local agreement were negotiated as part of the current state CSEA contract.

After the state pact was ratifie'd, the series of local bargaining Hugh Coats, Annette Harding, and Alice Drumm. The college was represented by William S. Mombert acting dean of administration, and John Cianciosi, personnel associate. The contract was signed by Dr. David By BOB ELLIS PENN those who like a light dessert after an evening meal, the Penn Valley Dinner Theatre's "Dracula" might be just the thing.

Definitely not too sweet, the production toes well, but must be digested with tongue in cheek. A certain amount of restraint has to be used when a melodrama like this is done for laughs. Director Ben Fanton's crew may have been just a little too subtle, but the first night audience became so absorbed in the creativeness of the characterizations it didn't matter anyway. Dr. VanHelsing, the crotchedy old man from "the land of the pretzel" is called in from Germany to rid the Seward family of a strange sickness.

In doing so the doctor, played by Phil Schuster, nearlv steals the show from the Count. Mr. Schuster's study is a commentary on how ridiculous most of the portrayals of doddering, half- witted old men are. He gives Dr. VanHelsing a verility and respect that wins affection from the audience.

A dandy German accent with all the v's and z's is there too. An efficient villian, Ray Smith, has all the equipment to be an effective Count Dracula: a tall figure, a variety of diabolic faces, and a handy pair of false fangs. Fortunately he doesn't lay on the Bela Lugosi effects too heavily. Ted Spring, an Alfred Tech professor, does a good job in filling out the nearsighted, Poindexter-type character who is Lucy Steward's fiance. The doctor and Lucy's father tolerate his ravings against the evil count with upraised eyebrows and a shrugging of shoulders.

Barnie Fanton as the maid and Peter as the attendant provide VEIN Dracula (Ray Smith) makes ready to turn the maid, played by Barrie Fanton, into his evening meal, during the second act last night at the Penn Valley Dinner Theatre. The good Dr. VanHelsing put an end to Dracula's ravings by driving a stake through the demon's thoroughly melodramatic heart.

In the long winter months ahead there will be little work for the migrant workers, and money earned during the busy season will be running out. When this happens, these seasonal workers look to the Pantry Shelf at the Harvest Center at Prattsburg for help. The Pantry Shelf is set up in a 14- room house maintained by the Steuben Area Migrant Committee as an informational, educational, and recreational center for migrants.

Stored there are canned goods and staple foods, donated by groups and individuals for distribution to the migrant families when the need arises. The supply there is never enough to meet the demand. With this in mind, the Wellsville Unit of Church Women United has suggested that women attending the World Community Day service bring canned goods or articles of staple food for a Pantry Shower. The items collected that day will be turned over to Mrs. C.B.

Rhodes of Alfred who will take them to the Harvest Center. Also available on World Community Day will be $3 gift certificates for Church World Service. These may be purchased from Mrs. Arthur S. Alexander at the tea following the worship service and will be used to purchase blankets, children's shoes, emergency supplies, or materials for self projects.

Good will continues The exchange of good will between the village and its sister city of Wellsville, Ohio, begun so well at this summer's midget football game, continues. Last night, Mayor Gardner read a letter from the city council of Wellsville, Ohio: "On behalf of the Wellsville, Ohio, City Council, I would like to extend our thanks to the people of Wellsville, N.Y., for the hospitality given our little league players, parents and fans on the weekend of Aug.

31,1974." "Mrs. Helen Martin of our city reported to council about the trip and told of many fine people in your city. She told also of the fire department personnel and the operations of your fire department." "I have been a member of the Wellsville Volunteer Fire Department for 14 years and am presently the chief officer of this department, so this was, very interesting to me." "I am looking forward to meeting some of your firemen and wish to extend my personal invitation to visit our fire department while you are here next year." "We are looking forward to your return visit to our city and another good football game." "With best wishes, we remain sincerely yours," (signed) Wellsville City Council, David G.

melodrama the proper British feel. A nice turn comes in the second act when the doctor must turn to Benfield, a madman, for help. "The whole world is mad for a moment now," Benfield, played by Gary Stillman, says. "The whole world must turn to a madman for help." Benfield explains his madness with intriguing logic. "God knows the devil is too much for us with weak minds," he whimpers.

Maureen Halloran, a SUNY at Geneseo student and a master of the quivering voice, plays the Dracula- striken Lucy. She's perfect as a pale, sick type, but seems uncomfortable late in the play after becoming "one of Dracula's kind." Fortunately the Doctor shocks her out of it by confronting her with a crucifix. The play is full of Draculan lore and terms and phrases that add to the fun. Here are a few of them: Dawn: "the ebbtide of life" for Dracula, the time when he must return to his tomb. Mystic Sacrament: process by which Dracula gives evil life to Lucy, involving the drinking of Dracula's blood.

Pernicious Sickness: the weakness and paleness that follows a visit from the Count; Words beginning with or fair game for Dr. VanHelsing's accent: Wolfsbane: herb that can frighten away Dracula. A necklace of garlic, a crucifix, a papal dispensation, sunlight, or a mirror will work just as well. Undead: Dracula's strange medical condition. Also known as "living corpse, or foul thing of the Land of the pretzel: birthplace of the good doctor.

The play will continue tonight and Thursday at Penn Valley.
