SAFETY VALVE
a Mr. Risley:
In my last week Personal notice,
the name cf my home town, in
France was mispelled, instead of
Leyou, it should have read Lyon
or Lyons.
It is a beautiful city built at the
rivers—Lyon dates back from the
Romans who named it Lugdunum.
It is an industrial city, first silk
center of the world.
Sincerely,
Reine Thevenon,
Center Hill Road.
Dallas.
“Latest word on the color-
telecasting front comes from
J Leslie Hoffman, president of the
says that mass
i dproduction
»f color sets is
still two years
away because
of complications
manufactur-
the color
At pres-
ent, he reports, there is an 85%
rejection in the color tubes pro-
duced, for failure to meet the
high standards demanded by the
industry.
However, the first color sets
will be on the market in about
6 months, assuming the FCC
gives its approval. They will be
14-inch screens, and will retail
| at from $750 to $1000 . . . which
means color TV will be a luxury
item for some time to come,
especially when a 21-inch black-
and-white set costs so much less
than the small screen color TV.
For the few who will’ own
color sets, there will be color
programs of the big shows dur-
ing this fall and winter . . . but
you will receive them in clear
black and white on the regular
sets. The FCC has made that
“compatibility” mandatory. After
all, most of us will be watching
black-and-white sets for quite
a while . . . for the same reason
that most of us don’t drive
Cadillacs! And a lot of us won't
want to lose the advantages of
big-screen TV. Since your set is
going to be around for some
time, it’s to your advantage to
keep it in the peak of condition.

Tax funds previously earmarked
for public assistance in the local
area will be put to different use in
the future since the State Bureau
prepared and
placed into gainful employment 610
disabled persons during the past
year, all of whom had been on re-
lief rolls.
Of the 610 persons, 61 were from
the Bureau's Wilkes-Barre District
according to Tom E. Williams,
Manager of the local office. The
number was broken down into the
following counties which comprise
the Wilkes-Barre District of the Bu-
reau of Rehabilitation:
Bradford, 3; Columbia, 1; Lacka-
wanna, 19; Luzerne, 28; Monroe, 4;
Susquehanna, . 3; Wyoming, 3; Pike-
Sullivan, Wayne-Monroe, 0.
“No doubt considerable addi-
tional funds could have been saved
in relief costs over a longer period
of time because persons just re-
habilitated and removed from the
assistance rolls average 41 years
of age,” Williams said. “This indi-
cates; and figures show, that many
of these persons were on assistance
rolls for many years before they
received vocational rehabilitation
and were made available and eligi-
ble for gainful employment. Fur-
thermore, the average age of the
group was 28 years when the per-
manent disablement occurred.”
These 610 persons had a total of
1,465 dependents which in turn
helped to keep the relief cost high.
Two hundred eighteen had no de-
pendents, 77 had one, 50 had two,
53 had three, 67 had four, 44 had
five, 29 had six, 31 had seven, and
41 had eight or more.
While on relief these 610 persons
received an average weekly grant
of $17.61. After their rehabilitation
and placement in gainful employ-
ment, the group had an average
income of $42.50 a week with 30
of the persons earning between $70
and $97.
“Annual public assistance grants
of .$558,480, provided by the Com-
monwealth taxpayers, were re-
ceived by these persons and their
families,” Williams said. ‘Through
vocational rehabmilitation this bur-
den has been ended and the re-
habilitated men and women now
are earning , $1,325,740 annually.
They now are taxpayers instead of
tax consumers.”
ticularly significant, Williams add-
ed, as we look forward to the an-
nual observance of National Em-
ploy the Physically Handicapped
Week from October 4-10. While
continual efforts are made through-
out the year to place handicapped
persons in gainful employment, this
special occasion always is an extra
incentive for all employers and the
general public as well to do their
bit in hiring the physically handi-
capped to establish employment
records comparable to so-called
normal individuals. They stay on
the job longer, their attendance is
better and their production and
efficiency is high.
The Bureau of Rehabilitatior., as
in former years, is cooperating with
other agencies and organizations in
promoting NEPH Week throughout
the Commonwealth. Pubblic assist-
ance rolls can be reduced even fur-
ther if more employers would hire
the disabled.
Douglas Trumbower
Has Surprise Party
The day was saved for ten-year
old Douglas Trumbower’s birthday
guests when Mrs. Haddie his next
door neighbor, of Sweet Valley, of-
fered the use of her fireplace for
disconsolate guests, driven indoors
by Monday night's light rain. The
little boys, who had been resigned
to roasting hot dogs and toasting
marshmallows over an electric stove
were "delighted at a chance to
crouch over a real fire, and the
surprise wienie roast was a huge
success.
Present were Bobby Masters,
Dale Masters, Dean Bronson, Dean
Long, Edgar Turner, Johnnie Had-
die, the extemporaneous hostess,
and Dolores and Ord Trumbower.
Pheasant Killed
A hen pheasant flew into the
window of Odis Moore's garage-
workshop in the rear of his home
at Shavertown last Saturday and
was killed. It was at first thought
that youngsters had thrown a stone
through the window, but investiga-
tion revealed the dead pheasant on
