PHEAA had, in the interim period, instructed banks and colleges to keep applications flowing so that when a decision was made PHEAA would be in a position to proceed with the least delay to the students. PHEAA Executive Director Kenneth R. Reeher said that no analysis of need with respect to a student’s loan would be re- quired, since by reverting to the old rules none was required before. ‘The loan program is reopened, and the rules are the same as before,” he explained.

PHEAA pays 100 percent guaranty of principal and inter- est to the lender when a loan goes into default, and receives 80 percent reinsurance of the amount used to pay off the lender. The default ratio in Pennsylvania is less than 2 percent. PHEAA administers all state and federal student aid programs for the Common- wealth, including those for loans, scholarship and college work-study. Scholarship awards are based solely on need. Loans are made available to those wishing to borrow to help pay for their education, and the work-study programs provide another avenue of self- help by placing the student in a meaningful program of work so he can earn the money to help pay the costs of higher ed- ucation. aati Population Notes--The number of children under five years of age in the United States is presently lower than it has been at any time in the past 20 years. However, says James Van Horn, Extension family life specialist at The Pennsylvania State University, our population continues to increase and last year the number of births ex- ceeded deaths by about two million. red Photo by Jim Kozemchak 21, 1972 left: Authority; (continued from PAGE ONE) Wyoming Valley have been extremely generous in their support of the auction,” Mr. Bittner explained. ‘Now the auction--a community in- stitution representing nor- malcy--may have an oppor- tunity to help those who have been so generous in the past, to provide much needed excite- ment, recreation and di- version.” : p Furthermore, said Mr. Bitt- ner, the idea of storing away items which have been collected for sale across the block or in the various booths made little sense to the auction planners when they considered that Schools (continued from PAGE ONE) It was necessary to change various school bus schedules. Two buses were sent to the Frances Slocum State Park in the event that more students than had previously registered would be present. The student number from Frances Slocum Park totals approximately 100, however this figure is indefinite at this time. A meeting of the school bus drivers was held Tuesday night at the high school to discuss the future re- arrangement of the bus schedules.

If the community needs the auction, so too does the library. With college and public libraries in the Valley closed due to the flood, Back Mountain Librarian Sue Davern reports that she and her staff are busier than ever before. The library relies on the auction for fully 60 percent of its annual operating costs, and without at least a portion of that anticipated re- venue it is possible that the library’s services to the com- munity would have to be cur- tailed. And so it’s full steam ahead for the 1972 Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction. Scheduled for Oct. 6, 7 and 8 at the new auction grounds behind the library on' Main Street, Dallas, the auction will be held beneath a canopy of fall foliage this year. The auctioneers will be as brash as ever, the grilled hot dogs as tasty, the bargains as plentiful--and best of all, the Auction will be again the place where old friends meet.
