The purpose of the meeting was to allow the federal representatives to view first hand the extensive flood damage to Wilkes College, King’s College, Wyoming Seminary and other educational facilities so that possible avenues of assistance might be found. Under the current provisions of the Disaster Assistance Act, = private educational institutions are not eligible to receive aid, despite the vast scope of damage in- flicted. This factor alone has placed a severe and virtually crippling hardship on the continued growth and development of local private colleges and secondary schools. It was pointed out that estimated damages to these three institutions are ap- proximately $15,000,000. The Early Bird Gets the Space!

GAY RD 3 333-4500 _ Shavertown 675-5234 Despite the vast amount of damage caused by the record flooding, the traditional Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series will continue as scheduled for the 1972-73 aca- demic year, according to an an- nouncement by President Francis J. Michelini. Receding waters left the 58- building liberal arts college $10- million in damages and de- posited large quantities of mud and debris, but spirits remain high with summer programs continuing on schedule. Addressing a large gathering of student leaders on the campus over the weekend, Dr. Michelini emphasized the im- portance of continuing the series which services both the college and the community. “Our role in the community is one that we regard very highly. One of the things the people in the Valley can really use now are cultural events to help take their minds off their troubles, and we are in a position to pro- vide them,” stated the president. Dr. Michelini was confident, informing the student gathering that adequate facilities would be available for the opening of the program in September. “Everything is being done to wipe out traces of the recent de- vastation,” he said. The following programs are listed for the 1972-73 year: Sept. 25—an evening with Lillian Gish.

Department of Agri- culture has authorized flood- stricken Pennsylvania counties to issue emergency food stamps for an additional 30 days, ef- fective July 26. USDA initially authorized 47 counties in the state June 27 to make free food stamps available to flood vic- tims. According to the USDA’s Northeast Regional Food and Nutrition Service office, the de- signated counties are Luzerne, Clinton, Columbia, Cumber- land, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Lebanon, Lycoming, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry and Schuylkill. Latest available figures in- dicate that 292,155 Pennsyl- vania flood victims in 80,236 households. have received free food stamps valued at $4,559,647. In addition, more than 900 tons of USDA-donated foods have been shipped into the flood-stricken areas to provide meal service for those who were homeless during the floods, as well as those who are currently being housed in shelters.

Issuance 30 Days The USDA, in extending the claration in the thirteen counties, has determined that. conditions in these areas are such that many flood victims still qualify for the free food stamps. i In reviewing thoffstatus of each of the flood-stricken counties in Pennsylvania, USDA found in those counties where emergency issuance will be discontinued next week that the number of eligible victims was so small that they could be more effectively assisted under regular issuance procedures. Under the provisions of the Food Stamp Act of 1964 and the Federal Disaster Act of 1969, the Boards of Assistance in each of the designated counties are authorized to issue free food stamps to flood victims who are without funds to buy food, but who do have access i cooking facilities. 5 mc New inghe negboted 7 Hs not Al + The Welcome Wagon hostess will Il hep] Ives Call today: 2867 in ~Financing Dallas, Pa.
