DALLAS The Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter of the March of Dimes announces the appointment of Wyoming Valley Chairmen for the 1973 Mothers March on Birth Defects. Mrs. Rowlands, the mother of a child with a birth defect, joined the March of Dimes because she believes it helps her as a mother and as a nurse, with its rewarding work in public health education. ; Mrs. Phillips’ daughter, Jo Anne, eight, is this year’s Poster Child for the Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter.

Trucksville just as only four percent of automobile drivers use their shoulder and lap belts, only a few snowmobilers use helmets, an obvious protection. In fact, except for racing, helmets are not required by law; neither is registration and licensing of the vehicles. Just as that ‘‘infernal machine,’”’’ the automobile, created enemies in its Model T days with its noise and speed, the increasing popularity of snowmobiles has given a cer- tain segment of the population cause for alarm. Their view is that besides the obvious disadvantages of noise and danger to either the operator or those in his path, there is a more basic drawback: that the snowmobile will conquer the last wilderness and bring civilization into the last strongholds of untamed nature in this country, destroying the ultimate natural resource.
