Far from curbing drug abuse, a state bill calling for triplicate prescription blanks could ac- tually tend to increase the di- version of narcotic drugs, the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association (PPA) contends. “We certainly do not quarrel with the very good intent of House Bill 888 which is aimed at the drug abuse problem. Unfor- tunately, this measure would miss its intended target,” said PPA executive secretary Mor- ris E. Blatman. He noted that states which have similar legislation, Cali- fornia and Illinois, are exper- iencing an alarmingly high rate of thefts of these prescription blanks. They sell on the market for $5 each and higher and then are forged to obtain hard drugs. Mr. Blatman was testifying before the House Subcommittee on Health which was consider- ing HB 888. This bill would re- Most Home Fires Can Be Prevented One of the most painful acei- dents in the home is a burn. And the kitchen’s a likely place to get one. Here are a few reminders from Extension specialists at The Pennsylvania State University to help you avoid accidental burns. A flapping curtain hanging near the stove is a sure invita- tion to fire. So are towels, wooden racks, cookbooks and other flammables that you really should not keep close to the burners. When cooking, the Extension specialists advise that you use potholders instead of towels for grabbing hot pans. And make sure that pot handles are always turned away from ‘the edge of the stove. This is especially important if you have small children around, who might tip the pots over. And don’t try to cook when wearing garments with long, loose sleeves. In case you have a grease fire, use a fire extinguisher suit- able for grease fires, or use baking soda to put it out. Never pour water on a grease fire, remind the Extension special- ists.” To smother a fire in a frying pan, cover the pan with a lid or throw baking soda in the pan. tbseribe To The Post haskek in Ghe world eae quire a doctor prescribing a controlled substance, about half of all prescriptions written, to write each prescription on a check-like, triplicate form. The forms would be numbered con- secutively to provide the state government with a means of re- view. “If the three-part form were to be put in use, I will predict many more will be filled after being stolen. Few will question an ‘official form when it is pre- sented,” Mr. Blatman said. Mr. Blatmann noted that the three most popular drugs used by abusers, heroin, marijuana and methadone, cannot be dis- pensed on prescription. There- fore, HB 888 would have no ef- fect on this broad area of drug abuse. For security reasons, most doctors would keep the tripli- cate forms in their offices. But frequently emergencies occur away from his office when a prescription is required as soon as possible. Here, the triplicate system would be ‘a handicap, the PPA argues. If a blank or pad is missing, the physician is to notify police who, in turn, are to notify phar- macists. The PPA feels this would ‘‘drown’’ the Bureau of Drug Control in paperwork and would further hinder the al- ready over-burdened police de- partments. the Quadrozontal Engine that delivers around 25 mpg and reduces vibration to a minimum. school will offer the two-day, one-credit workshops which have been enthusiastically received by residents in the area.
