Laing Fire Company and Dallas Community Ambulance Association. The two units which serve Dallas 24 hours a day on a strictly volunteer basis rendered inestimable service in 1972 not only to Dallas but also to the Greater Wyoming Valley in the wake'of Hurricane Agnes. This emphasis on people is mirrored in the tally of both units’ service calls for the year 1972. Twelve members of the Dallas Ambulance Unit an- swered more than 35 calls. They are Bob Besecker 137, Dave Carey 119, Ted Wright 69, Tim Carroll 54, Len Roginski 53, Dick Disque 52, Jim Davies 51, Don Shaffer 46, Sonny Smith 44, Wes Cave 42, Ed Roth 38 and Bob Cartier 37. An innovation in the association this year was the addition of four women as regular crew members. These women who answered a total of 35 calls are Lois Disque, R.N.; Ann Rowlands, R.N.; MiMi Wilson and Kay Wright. The ambulance association can boast of 20 members trained in standard and ad- vanced first aid; 20 members trained in coronary pulmonary resuscitation; 15 members certified by the State of Penn- sylvania as ambulance at- tendants; three R.N.’s; and three Red Cross first aid in- structors. Throughout the year the ambulance association holds practice sessions in all phases of first aid including use of oxygen, splinting fractures, bandaging, mouth to mouth resuscitation, coronary pulmonary resuscitation, treatment for shock, heart attacks, burns, excessive bleeding and poisoning. WE LA The Dallas Fire Company is well versed in all phases of fire fighting. Training sessions focus on the use of Scott air packs, pumps, hydrants, por- table generator, electric lights, smoke ejector, portable pumps, hoses, salvage and overall protection of property, fireman's first aid and prefire planning for larger buildings such as schools, local industry Alarm Sounded for ‘Hong Kong Heroin’ A ‘‘drug alert” sent to the headquarters of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Wilkes College, as well as-to all other Air Force installations, was made known to the campus personnel by Col. James Aik- man, Professor. of - aerospace science. The alert received out of Washington reads: “A drug believed to be responsible for deaths and near deaths in Japan in the past few days has just been identified through chemical analysis as ‘Hong Kong Rock Heroin.’ The major constituents are strychnine, morphine sulfate, heroin and caffeine. “This material is coarsely granular and gray-white in color. It is extremely lethal when taken either in- travenously or by mouth. “In view of the obvious lethality of this drug, request the above information be disseminated to all military and civilian personnel -and their dependents under your cognizance, using all media at your disposal.’ Man is not paid for having brains, but for using them.

Members of the Dallas Fire Unit also receive training at the Luzerne County Fire and Rescue School and through the Back Mountain Fireman's Association. They have given fire training to employes of local industry. Competing with 12 fire companies from Northeastern Pennsylvania, Dallas placed third in the Fireman’s Olympics last summer at Concrete City. In addition to training and fire practice, the local unit main- tains 2000 feet of 21» inch hose, 1500 feet of 11% inch hose, eight Scott air packs and three fire engines.
