EE EE SE mimes agnor Page 14 A new breed of ecological watchdog is making his ap- pearance on the pollution en- forcement scene. He’s a man (or woman) specially trained to ‘read’ the density of smoke emitted from a stack. Twenty-five such monitors recently received their cer- tificates after a qualifying examination held at the Penn- sylvania State University. In this case, all were men and all were already employed around Pennsylvania as air pollution inspectors. This examination was set up as a service of Penn State’s Center for Air Environment Studies, and administered by a representative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. : “These men,’’ says Dr. William Moroz, director of the center, ‘have gone through a special two-day course in combustion problems. Most of them are very competent at smoke-reading and the -cer- tificates they get if they pass this test will enable them to testify in court as expert wit- nesses.” Newlyweds Feted At Family Dinner Mr. and Mrs. Martin Quinn, 502 Berwick St., White Haven, entertained at a family dinner at their home Aug. 27 in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew R.

SPECIAL AUCTION Sept. 16 At David Ertley’s Inc. 310 Market St. Kingston, Pa. on Flood damaged But ReConditioned Lawn Equipment Watch for Further Announcements / PE PR RR Rt Nu um Dr. Moroz says that new air pollution legislation--posing clear and strict limits on smoke density that may be emitted from stacks--has made it mandatory for the EPA and state control agencies to train a large number of qualified in- spectors. “These inspectors must establish, by naked-eye measurement, whether a given stack is emitting pollutants in excess of limits fixed by the law. The point: of this examination is to document their ability to make those identifications with no more than a 7% percent margin of error.” A mobile smoke generator was used at Penn State to help certify the current batch of smoke monitors. It is one of only about six in the country. It produces a plume of smoke and the density can be changed by the operator. Densities are identified by numbers from zero to 100. Whether a certain number represents an illegal emission depends on laws that vary from state to state, says Dr. Moroz. In California, the number must be zero; no visible emissions are permitted. In Pennsylvania, smoke emissions must not exceed a value of 20 for more than three minutes of any hour and must not exceed a value of 60 at any time, however brief. The color of a smoke plume has no bearing on its density and smoke monitors are specially trained to rule out the effects of color when they make their ratings. ‘The inaccessibility of most to objective iden- tifications--with an instrument-- makes this ‘naked-eye’ capability vital to an air pollution inspector’s job,” says Dr. Moroz. ‘With more trained people like these in the field we can look for more accurate and cleaner air in the long run.” Miriam Orf Interning At Luzerne Co. Assn. Of Retarded Children Miriam Orf, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Orf, 124 Over- brook Ave., Dallas Township, will enter her senior year at College Misericordia this fall where she is studying for a B.A. degree in sociology. A graduate of Dallas Senior High School, Miss Orf has been doing her intern work this summer at Luzerne County As- sociation for Retarded Child- ren, 63 N. Franklin St., Wilkes- Barre, where Judy Anita Hurley is executive director. The sociology major is doing her practicum under the pro- gram sponsored by the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania with offices in the WARM Building, Scranton-Wilkes- Barre Highway. During the summer of 1971, Miss Orf worked in partnership with Gail Williams, also a student at College Misericordia, on a special analysis project to determine the need for a school for children with learning dis- abilities. As a result, such a school is being established at Mercy Center, College Miser- icordia, Dallas. New Durable Press Ready for Apparel A new and patented process for achieving durable press qualities in apparel, called ‘‘Ameriset’’, has been developed . by the American Laundry Machinery Industries (ALMI) in cooperation with the Cotton Producers Institute. Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension clothing specialist at The Penn- sylvania State University, says the uniqueness of this process is that the fabric is not treated with chemicals or resins. Only the finished garment is treated after it’s cut, sewn, pressed and ready to wear. All the findings-- thread, pockets, trimmings and zippers--are given a vapor treatment for about 20 minutes along with the garment. The garments and findings then take on durable press chara- cteristics. ; This means that the process can be used, not only by the industry, but also by home sewers. ALMI is prepared to install equipment in neighbor- hood stores to service the home sewing market. And small retail apparel stores will have these reaction chambers for the new durable press process. Mrs. Wilson says the process already has undergone ex- tensive testing which shows that a garment treated with Ameriset retains its durable press characteristics through a minimum of 20 machine washings and tumble dryings.

In the film, he sings a ballad which he composed, ‘‘God’s Children,” which tells of the problems the parents of a retarded child faced until they sought help from a United Way agency. Johnny was asked what he thought the response of the people of Wyoming Valley would be to the United Fund campaign in the aftermath of the flood. He replied, ‘I think it should make your campaign twice as big. I think the people should get behind the United Baer Reunion Set for Sept. 4 The tenth annual reunion of the William Edward Baer family will be held Sept. 4 at the home of Gilbert Ide, Idetown.

The Galkas have resided at Harveys Lake for nine years, having moved there after Mr. Galka retired as a bus driver with Public Service of New Jersey. They still have many close friends among his former fellow _employees; how close those friendships are became evident during the recent disaster caused by the floods after Hurricane Agnes. When Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Eisley, Hackensack, N.J., first heard the news of the flood, they also received reports that the entire area was under water, in- cluding the Harveys Lake area. EEE EEEEEE——— “New community develop- ment on a site in Area Three, on the other hand, would offer better opportunities to tap the recreational and secondhome market, thus expanding the region’s economic base and enlarging its potential activi- ties. A site in Area Three also offers an attractive environ- ment while remaining highly accessible to other areas via the major highway network. The presence of the Tobyhanna Army Depot also enlarges the potential housing market.” Fearing for the safety of their friends and worried that they might not have a dry place to sleep, Mr. and Mrs. Eisley and their two small children left their home June 25 ang, follow- ing a long detour on took them around Berwick, they drove for six and a half hours with a camper hooked to the back of their car. E They arrived at Harveys Lake that night, ready to offer the Galkas the use of their camper, only to find that the residents of Harveys Lake and the Back Mountain were high and dry, and safe from the Susquehanna River flood. They turned around and headed back along the long route to their New Jersey home. Mr. and Mrs. Gajka can’t seem to find enoughzways to express their appred®dtion for the thoughtfulness and generos- ity of their friends, the kind “money can’t buy.” Rummage Sale The Ella Moore Memorial Class of East Dallas United Methodist Church plans to hold a rummage sale and bake sale sale will be 9 am. to 7 p.m. Thursday, and 10 a.m {ip 3 p.m. Friday. » farm dein Sh Farm signs or specials ICED TEA HALF GAL. 19¢ COOKIES 3 BAGS 87° REG. 3-$.100 on .
