Coached by Wayne Thomas, approximately 50 boys are out for track this year. The members of this team participate in field events, dealing in throwing and jum- ping. The throwing events are made up of the shot put, javelin, and discus; while the triple, broad and high jumps along with the pole vault, constitute the jumping portion. The field events ‘are held off the track. The boys participate in the two mile run, one mile run, half mile run, 440 yards dash, 220 yards dash, 100 yards dash, and various relays on the track. Although this home meet against Crestwood was merely an exhibition, it gave Wyoming Valley fans an indication of LL’s talents.

Shapp on the Issues The Menace of Pollution (This is the third of a series of columns by Democratic gu- bernatorial candidate Milton Shapp concerning his positions on important issues and prob- lems facing the Common- wealth.) In Pennsylvania, agriculture is a one billion dollar a year business. More than a million hunting and 700,000 fishing licenses are issued each year returning millions of dollars in revenue, Tourism produces an estimated $3.9 billion and is the state’s second biggest in- dustry. I believe this should give you an idea of the tremendous stake we have in preserving our valuable resources of land, air and water—and trying to salvage what has een dam- aged, if not destro , by pol- lution. 4 , Of course, something more crucial is at stake here—the health of all Pennsylvanians. It should be obvious how much st damage has been done to our water resources, the air and land by contaminants of all sorts and through misuse, But not as obvious is the damage which polluted air and water does to our health. In fact, we have convincing proof that polluted air can be fatal. Most people probably believe that destructive air pollution is confined to larger cities where industry is concentrated and traffic is heaviest. This is not so. For example, a study done by Penn State University re- cently showed that millions of dollars in crop loss in 27 counties last year was due to pollution. The study found that the major source of the contamination was the auto- mobile, while misuse, of herbi~ cides and pesticideg)as also a factor. This points to the impor- tance of reducing the amounts of poisonous gases poured out of the exhausts of gasoline- powered vehicles. This can be done by enact- ing legislation thafg requires that vehicles nav) eective pollution control equipment— legislation that could be pat- terned after California’s law. Also, it should be mandatory for these devices to be exam- ined as part of the semi- annual state inspections to make sure that they are work- ing properly. Industry, of course, also dis- charges huge volumes of toxic’ fumes into the air and this must be stopped, for the sake of all of us. The state has new standards for air quality but they must be stringently en- forced. To strengthen enforcement, I also have proposed establish- ment of a special environment court which would be solely responsible for handling cases involving the pollution codes. We also need swift action to put the “environmental bill of rights” into our sige consti- tution to provide ¥¥e strong legal foundation tO support other anti-pollution legislation and guarantee that our chil- dren’s children will have an inheritance worth having. The state also must have a new clean streams t to re- place the outmodea Zegislation of 1937. The new act must have fines which are a deter- rent to polluters, not just a calculated cost of doing busi- ness as usual. To salvage the land already ruined by mining and quarry- ing in many areas of Pennsyl- vania, we need a bill similar to one which has been stalled in the state Senate for nearly a year—one which would require quarry and gravel pit opera- tors to restore the land they use. Now that we recognize the importance of environment; now that we realize that the kind of people that live in this world is actermineghin many ways by the kind of %yorld this is, it is time to take further governmental action. It is time to establish a state Depart- ment of the Environment, if you will. The name is not im- portant, but its function is: it must bring together the state’s environmental control func- tions and its planning func- tions. This is necessary to launch the kind of concerted effort we need to protect our state and at the same time eliminate the costly and inefficient fragmen- tation and duplication of re- sponsibilities which now exists in this field.
