Page 18 (continued from PAGE ONE) the March of Dimes booklet. “Normal development and functioning of every living be- ing depends on genetic informa- tion transmitted by both pa- tion. Inborn characteristics— from eye color and ear shape to indespensable components of the heart and nervous system— are controlled by the action of one or more pairs of genes (half of each pair from one parent, half from the other) contained cleus of all body cells....There are literally hundreds of genes within “each chromosome. Among this vast number, a few are likely to be abnormal; thus each of us carries some faulty genes. However, only rarely do two parents carry the same de- fective genes.” It is when both parents do carry the same defective genes that genetic disease occurs; and, according to the booklet, “the number of responsible genes usually determines whether a brother or sister of the affected child will also be stricken.” Determining the probability of a defect’s occurring more than once within the same fam- ily is the work of the genetic counselor, once he or she has determined that the defect is in- deed genetic and not environ- mental (as in the case of ru- | bella). The counselor in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre will be Dr. Laird Jackson, head of the Medical Genetics Department at Jeffer- son School of Medicine in Phila- delphia. Dr. Jackson operates seven other counseling clinics in New Jersey and Eastern Penn- sylvania. In each case, the cli- nics are funded by the March of Dimes. Actual operation of the clinic began Sept. 5 in Scranton; patients will next be seen there Nov. 7. Appointments are being accepted now for the Oct. 3 opening date at Kirby Health Center. The clinic will continue to operate on the first Wednes- months at the two locations. The Board of Directors of the Health and Hospital Planning Council (HHPC) of North- eastern Pennsylvania has approved five important proposals Aug. 27 which had been recommended by the Proposal Review Committee of HHPC. The five recommendations which were approved in part concerned: Wilkes-Barre General Hospital; Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Kingston; and the Rural Health Corp. of Luzerne County. The proposals were for acute care hospital Many Northeastern dairy farmers are being squeezed by the rapidly accelerating feed costs since early 1973. Data show a speed-up in the numbers of farmers moving out of dairying, reports Luzerne County Agent E.V. Chadwick. Drop-outs have been not- iceably higher during the mid- year period, he indicates. Producer numbers in the six Northeastern Federal milk marketing orders decreased 4.6 99 Park Avenue; New York, N.Y. 10016 Ad A Public Service of This Newspaper & ha The Advertising Council i beds and nursing home beds, as well as ambulatory care in urban and rural areas. Ap- proved were: Wilkes-Barre General plans for the replacement of 98 acute care rooms (40 private; 116 semi- private beds) and the expansion of outpatient services. The East Building wards are to be con- verted to semi-private accomo- dations. The total cost is estimated to be $7.6 million. At Nesbitt Memorial the third floor of the nurses’ home is to be made into an area for admini- strative services, relocated percent from a year earlier in March, 4.7 percent in April and 5.2 percent in May. and a decrease was expected to ex- ceed 5 percent in June. The typical producer drop-out rate prior to the feed crisis has been in the 4.0 percent to 4.5 percent range, he said. a In Pennsylvania, dairy feed (16 percent protein) prices are now about $38 per ton higher cost alone, a dairyman needs a price increase of about 76 cents per hundredweight; but other farm costs have been climbing steadily also. Farm prices for milk have not even kept pace with advancing feed costs, says Agent Chadwick. The cost structure of dairy farmers varies widely among individuals. For example, a dairyman who is dependent on purchased feed feels the pinch more than one who uses home grown feeds. But decreasing producer numbers in the North- east suggest that today’s profit picture is not particularly bright. All indicators point to continued high feed costs at least through late summer when the prospects for the 1973 crop will begin to make an impact on the market. from the hospital. A connecting bridge between the hospital and the former nurses’ home is part of the proposal. Twenty-one acute-care beds will replace some existing beds in the space made available by the vacated administrative space. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $614,950. The proposal was approved by HHPC with the recommendation that Nesbitt reassess its plans for development during the next five years. The proposal of the Rural Health Corp. for the continua- tion of staffing was approved for the budget period Sept. 1 to Aug. 31, 1974. The federal-grant cost ‘of this proposal $1.18 million. The approval contained recommendations to help RHC continue. In approving the project board members cited the need for present and future rural health care for Wyoming and Luzerne Counties in such places as Noxen, Black Creek and Shickshinny. HHPC'’s board also approved filing’ ‘an ® application to the “Robert Wood Johnson Foun- dation for $400,000 for emergency medical services over a two-year period. This grant if approved would pay for ‘equipment, personnel and training in the development of a system to provide vastly improved emergency medical services (EMS) over the area of Pike, Wayne, Wyoming, Lacka- wanna and Luzerne Counties. 1973 Maurice Wasserman and Mrs. s.
