Page:2 The Health and Hospital Planning Council of North- ~ eastern Pennsylvania (HHPC) has announced that a $400,000 grant for emergency medical services has been applied for from the Robett Wood Johnson Foundation. If the application is approved, the funds will be used to plan and implement com- munications, manpower train- ing. and public education, with regard to emergency medical services. The executive director, Robert C. MacGregor, said HH- PC is hopeful of approval. The EMS Committee in this region is made up of 22 members from Pike, Wayne, Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wyoming Coun- ties. The purpose of the com- mittee is to establish a more ef- fective emergency medical service for their respective counties. 1 The HHPC staffer responsible for EMS in this region is John J. Stalma, associate compre- hension health planner. Ed- mund Dana, Harveys Lake, is chairman of the committee, which seeks to work with medical societies, ambulance units, municipal governments, hospitals and communications specialists. The EMS problem is how to plan the delivery of emergency aid to persons who die needless- ly of such things as heart at- tacks, crashes and other ac- cidents. In many communities the delivery system is vastly imperfect compared to what is possible, through a coordinated communications network, and other up-to-date advances. Recent articles in the New York Times and Newsweek magazine have cited the crisis in emergency medical care in the large urban centers; some of the same problems exist throughout the nation. Certain communities in the United States have been in the forefront in solving their EMS crisis. Two of these are Jacksonville, Fla. and Baltimore, Md. The Health and Hospital Planning Council of North- eastern Pennsylvania is responsible for a five-county EMS region. There is some promise that Northeastern Pennsylvania will join others as one of the earliest communities to have an ultra-modern EMS system, according to HHPC officials. by Charlot Denon 675-0419 Linda Wheeler. 84 Elizabeth St..

Hardwick, di- vision chairman of the Back Mountain area, has announced the appointment of six women and two men as area leaders for the 1973-74 United Way of Wyoming Valley Campaign. “I am confident that these ex- cellent volunteers will put the Back Mountain area over its $14,000 quota,” Mrs. Hardwick said. ‘‘The campaign’s goal is a record $1,650,000. To meet this level, residents of the Back Mountain must give their ‘fair share’ to the drive. “More than ever a maximum effort is needed. Our 29 member agencies are hard pressed to provide human services, such as rehabilitation, youth gui- dance and home care for resi- dents of Wyoming Valley.” The following are the United Way leaders in this area: Mrs. James Veras, Trucksville-Sha- vertown; Mrs. Albert Schiowitz and Mrs. Martin Samuels, Dal- las; Mrs. Andrew Kirmse, Kun- kle and Lehman; Samuel Ban- non, Harveys Lake; Ralph Weggel, Jackson Township and Mrs. A.

Last year, despite the adver- sities created by flood recovery, volunteers raised an unprece- dented $1,536,000. ‘‘Because of the flood, no goal was set,” Mr. Ross explained, ‘‘But when the dollars were counted, the Valley showed it cared.”” The 30 member agencies of the United Way provide wide-ranging so- cial services such as disaster assistance, rehabilitation, youth guidance, home health care and family planning. If these services are to contin- ue, Mr. Ross said, The United Way must meet its goal. ““‘Cut- backs in federal programs and increasing costs for social care have placed a burden on United Way agencies,” the chairman continued.

Postupack, Proprietor Ne Open Daily Monda Penn State University’s Wilkes-Barre Campus officials are concerned over the lack of adequate housing units for the students registering at the local campus this year. With the largest freshman class in the history of the cam- pus enrolling this year, in addi- tion to returning upperclass- men, a shortage of rental units in the local area is causing a problem for out-of-the area stu- dents. Since the local campus does not have campus housing, it is necessary to depend upon resi- dents in the Wyoming Valley and Back Mountain area for student accomodations. Until recent years, existing units were sufficient, but with in- creasing enrollment each year, the need has become critical. Many of the students do not have transportation available to commute from Wilkes-Barre or other in-town communities and are forced to look for rental units in this area. Although most of the students are willing to rent either a room or an apartment, fewer homeowners or landlords are agreeable to making ‘accomodations -avail- able to students. ; John R. Murphy, dean of stu- dents, urges all residents with space available to contact the school and indicate their will- ingness to rent to swigpts. | Obituaries | MARTHA ELLEN JONES Martha Jones, 73, of 93 Summit St., Shavertown, died Aug. 22 in Carpenter Con- valescent Home, Idetown.
