On a clear day Mount
St. Helens can be seen
from the Toledo,
Washington Airport.
There have been few clear
days, however, since Pvt.
Jeffrey Wayne Martin
from Hunlock Creek has
been there helping sur-
vivors of that eruption.
Martin, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Claude Martin,
Hunlock Creek, has been
working with his unit, the
513th Transportation
Company. They have
been part of a coordinated
effort by the state of
Washington, the National
Guard, and the 9th
Infantry Division. Their
mission has been to look
for survivors and bodies
amidst the devastated
area near the volcano.
“My responsibility is
driving a truck to support
the rangers and rescue
Lauer came to the
from Rogers Optical Com-
pany where he worked in
fisplay and advertising.
He also did free lance
commercial art work for a
period of years.
A native of Wilkes-
workers,” Martin ex-
plained.
One week after the first
big eruption, a second
eruption let everyone in
Toledo see what the ash
was like. About one-and-
a-half inches of the fine,
gritty ash blanketed the
whole area. It had to be
washed off of the
helicopters, delaying
search missions. Even a
slow-moving truck would
swirl the fine ash into a
cloud. Cooks had to go to
great pains to keep it out
of the food.
Summing up his ob-
servations, the 1979
graduate of Northwest
Area High School said, “I
like the excitement of
helping in this rescue
effort. We're really doing
something = important.”
Martin intends to get
out of the service and go
to truck driver’s school.

to the former Mary
Teresa Whalen, also of

nsylvania, will have a

If Lauer has any other
free time, he usually uses
it doing do-it-yourself
projects in and around his

everything which needs
to be done, according to
the agency director.
Since 1961 the Luzerne
County Tourist
Promotion Agency has
grown from a small
operation originated by
the local Chamber of Com-
merce in cooperation with
Hazleton, Pittston and
Nanticoke Chambers and
the Luzerne County com-
missioners, into a full-
time operation for the
purpose of promoting
tourism in this area of
Pennsylvania.
It was in 1968 that the
Tourist Promotion Agen-
cy became a full time
operation with Paul
Lauer of Shavertown ap-
pointed as executive
director. Since that time,
the agency has continued
to flourish placing em-
phasis on events as well
as local historical and out-
door.-.recreational * Sites,
especially area state
parks.
According to the latest
figures, released at the
end of 1978, Luzerne
County ranks eighth in
terms:of total réceipts for
tourism--$106,000,000.
