When asked his opinion as to several lake residents’ theory that flood-drenched articles - washed in the lake may have been responsible for causing some “‘illness,’”’ Mr. Koval declined to speculate. For weeks after the flood many homeless Wyoming Valley residents living with relatives or friends at the lake were seen washing their fur- niture, carpets and flooded cars in the lake. This led to suspicion that the mud may have been responsible for the lake’s ap- pearing ‘milky’ recently. Mr. Koval said that nurses from the bureau were presently “helping in an epidemiological survey’’ of the lake’s condition.

Hospital (continued from PAGE ONE) Although the appropriations are still undecided at this time, Mr. Konsavage stated that ‘government help may be quicker but who knows when it would come. The citizens must participate for their benefit.” The Back Mountain’s need for a hospital was demonstrated during the flood when an emergency medical center was devised at College Misericor- dia. Besides treating patients transferred from hospitals in the Valley, the center also administered aid to accident cases. The urgent necessity for quick medical treatment was established also for heart attack victims and other persons requiring immediate attention and hospitalization. Designs for the hospital have members of the organizations that have reviewed the project, outlined by Mr. Konsavage and Frank Ambrose, another sup- porter of the plan. The new hospital is expected to function with a preventive- medicine clinic geared to meet the concept of arranging for a smaller, more functional unit in place of facilities larger and more expensive to operate. Mrs. Edward Bialogawicz, snips the ribbon in During the June flood, Dottie Beckham's warm Southern drawl and wide smile were constant reminders to many flood victims and Civil Defense personnel that times of crisis need not be devoid of humor and compassion. A crack reporter for The Dallas Post, Dottie was time she left her desk at noon June 22 with an assignment to “get whatever can be gotten.” Little did Dottie’s editors realize that her graciousness and clear thinking would earn for her the position of secretary to Back Mountain Civil Defense Director Bill Berti, or that in the final analysis, little in the way of formal flood relief efforts would occur during that first hectic week without Dottie standing by, pen and paper in hand, ready to jot down anything from - vital ‘Civil Defense instructions “to the names and addresses of persons separated from loved ones. Subscribe To The Post In ‘‘appreciation of out- standing service to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the flood emergency of June 1972,” Dottie was awarded a hand- some Certificate of Ap- preciation from Governor Milton J. Shapp. One of ap- proximately 20 persons to be so honored, Dottie’s nomination was- endorsed by John Cowan, executive secretary of the State Harness Racing Commission, who observed that her efforts to facilitate communications among Back Mountain flood relief personnel and Civil Defense Headquarters located at Pocono Downs were singularly outstanding. On Nov. 16, Gov. Shapp presented the certificates to the the Governor’s Reception Room at Harrisburg. Dottie, who now resides in Charlotte, N.C., was unable to attend the ceremony.
