The students, chosen because of their creative talents, will participate in a program of artistic expression initiated six months ago by 29 educational intermediate units and the state Education Department. “Every one of _ these youngsters will have the op- portunity to learn first-hand the creative relationships between all forms of art,” Governor Milton J. Shapp said in making the announcement of the school’s re-opening. “What we're hoping for is that each student will return to his hometown high school carrying the message to his fellow students to think creatively and broaden their horizons,” the Governor said. The school offers a varied course selection including courses in art, painting, music, sel design, photography, dance, films, theater and sculpture. Along with instruction from professionals, the students will be assisted by 25 instructors and counselors in the school, which ends August 9. Russell P.Getz, division chief of arts and humanities in: the state Education Department, said the students were selected on the basis of solo expertise as well as their commitment to a variety of artistic com- binations. *‘We don’t expect a horde of prima donnas in this group,” Mr. Gelz said, adding, “what we hope to see is a group of dedicated students displaying a maximum degree of co- operation.” The Wilkes-Barre Center on Alcohol Abuse opened its facility July 9 at North River and West Chestnut Streets, Wilkes-Barre, according to an announcement by Thomas L.

Mr. Moran stated that the center will use the facilities pro- vided through Thomas Saxton, The State Health Department today strongly urged all persons owning pets to have them vacci- nated agajnst rabies if the animal has nol valready been immunized. According to Dr. Ernest J. Witte. chief of the Veterinary Public Health Section, rabies can appear in a locality al any iime without warning, and it is impossible to predict its oc- currence. The sudden and recent ap- pearance of rabies in a stray cat in Perry County, the second case in the county in nearly 10 years. points up that even those who live in areas of low rabies incidence cannot become com- placent. Dr. Witte said. ‘Rabies. can exist undetected at a low level in the wildlife population of an area and then infect a domestic animal, whose illness will be noticed nd reported. It can be introduced by an animal transported from a distant site. There is also a possibility of infection from a rabid bat which has migrated from an infected area. Dr. Witte also pointed out that rabies is not seasonal. but can occur at any time of the year. However. he said, in the summer when children spend more time outdoors, there is a greaier chance of them being bitten by an animal. oN @ 7 oes ey “Since it is impossible to vaccina ¢ ‘wild animals, it is essential.” Dr. Witte stressed. “hat all cats and dogs kept as household pets be immunized. A vaccinated pet cannot transmit rabies lo human beings or animals even if bitten by a rabid animal. George F. Marsh Helps Sickle Cell Fund Drive Navy Seaman George F. Marsh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick S. Marsh of Route 1, Hunlock Creek, participated with his shipmates in a sickle cell anemia fund drive aboard his guided missile cruiser, the USS Albany, homeported at Mayport, Fla. His ship was the top Atlantic Fleet contributor to the drive, which aids those black people affected by the hereditary dis- ease. president and administrator of the General Hospital, and will operate on the premise that alcoholism is a disease which creates specialized problems for the individual and his or her family. These services will be available to all, regardless of age or sex. A survey of local hospitals for the period 1970-71 showed 900 admissions for which alcohol was part of the primary diagnosis. During 1971 the State Police patrolling Luzerne and Wyoming counties reported 57 arrests of persons charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants, while 31 accidents were listed in which drinking was a causative factor. One in every 502 persons aged 14-20 are arrested in Luzerne County for violation of the Liquor Control Laws. The incidence of alcoholism in Luzerne-Wyoming counties was among the highest in the state and yet the provisions of service is extremely lacking. Until now, there has been no holic within a 25 mile radius. The Wilkes-Barre Center on Alcohol Abuse is located in the former Nurses Residence of the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. A system of referral will be coordinated with special in- terest groups, such as, Alcoho- lics Anonymous, al-Anon, and specialized care agencies such as local hospitals within the community, Family Service Association, Catholic Social Services, Mental Health, the Bureau of Vocational Rehab- ilitation. immediately.
