Pi SQUTE SIDE
from Clarence F. Manbtck
of the 4Sth District
The Pennsylvania Senate
has just completed work on
legislation setting up a
network of military veteran
information and assistance
centers throughout the
Commonwealth. The
program is unique in that it
brings together under one
roof all the agencies that
provide services for military
veterans.
Already passed by the
House, the Senate plan
nonetheless must be
reconsidered by the House
because it has been amended
by the Senate. But there is

little doubt the plan will
finally become law. It is
considered essential if
veterans are to be made
aware of the various benefits
available to them.
Currently, many veterans
spend weeks and even
months going from agency to
agency to Slid out what
benefits they qualify for and
how to get them.
As a result of what is often
a frustrating effort, many
veterans give up or fail to
even bother and find out
what is available to them.
Often we lose their potential
talent or service trained
* skills because they can’t get

the schooling they want or
the Jobs they are qualified to
fill.
The plan has a secondary
purpose, but one essential to
its long-range development.
Officials'hope to be better
able to poll veterans on their
needs and wants, expecting
to both contact more
veterans under the one-roof
plan and to have a better
exchange of information
between the servicing
agencies.
As proposed, the'
legislation would establish
up to 15 centers across the
State, the location of each to
be determined on the basis of
geography and population.
Wherever possible, the
centers would be located in
existing State facilities.

Military Affairs, a staff

along with other companies,
offers sealed bids for some
of these tracts. The winning
bidder has rights for five
years to search for oil and

as commercial production
continues.
Off-shore drilling in the
Gulf is nothing new for
Marathon. In fact, off-shore
drilling and related expenses
have been taking a substan
tial bite out of company
budgets since the 1930'5.
TTie costs of seeking oil
and gas in coastal waters
are constantly on the rise.
Indeed, one of the fastest
rising of them is the cost of
the off-shore acreage itself.
Water and weather com

risks and overall costs. To
day, drilling crews work in
waters 400 feet deep, with
still greater depths yet to
be explored. This poses dan

ment and technology vastly
different from those needed
to set up a drilling rig on
solid land.
