“Children Act Fast...So Do
Poisons.” Such is the theme of
Poison Prevention Week, March 20-
26. We realize that stressing the
importance of maintaining safety
* for our youngsters, with the same
old hints and reminders comes off
as trite and repetitious.
We know that everyone already
keeps household chemicals and
medicines out of reach of our
children. Surely we all store in-
ternal medicines separately from
household products. And we never
give medicines in the dark, or take
them in front of the very young who
might take it into their heads to
imitate.
Since we are all well aware of how
to keep our toddlers safe from
poison, there is no real need to
remind anyone to keep items in
their original safety containers or to
leave original labels on all
products, and read them before use.
With all of us being neat and
organized around the house, there is
also no need to remind anyone to
clean out the medicine chest from
time to time, or to dispose of
medicines when the illness for
which they were prescribed is over.
And, it is certainly not necessary to
mention the need for using safety
packaging properly by closing the
containers securely after use,
especially when there are very
young children in the home.
With knowledge of modern child
parents, it is also redundant to note
that there are better methods of
Only Yesterday
getting medicine into a child then
referring to it as “candy.”
Since we already take poison
prevention in dead earnest, as it is
intended, we realize there is little
need to print the following
telephone number, 275-6116, the
Susquehanna Poison Control Center
number. But, we will anyway.

Dear Editor:
We have been breeding and
showing dogs for over 25 years, and
for many years we have been tat-
tooing our dogs for safety’s sake.
Finally, we began to tattoo dogs
for clubs and to hold tattoo clinics,
as well as work with the National
Dog Registry.
Now, the state offers a lifetime
dog license to residents who have
their dog tattooed. Due to the many
inquiries we have received on this
subject, I felt it would benefit all if
an article appeared explaining this
service.
you pet is to eliminate the danger of
stealing of a dog for resale to
laboratories, puppy mills for
breeding, or as pets, as well as that
of having them lost and never found
due to lack of identification.
Tattoo registration with the NDR
is one of the best ways to protect
your pet. The owner’s Social
Security number is tattooed on the
inside right hind leg and the owner
reigsters the number with the NDR.
Stolen or lost dogs can be reunited
with owners through NDR’s 24-hour
service. This is still the best way to
identify show or traveling pets.
Another way is with the lifetime
license, which is more reasonable
than a yearly one. (Dogs already
tattooed can still obtain a lifetime
license using the existing number,
and if they are already registered
with NDR, it’s double protection.)
To obtain a lifetime license for
your dog, call the county cour-
thouse. If the dog is not already
tattooed, obtain an assigned
number and have it tattooed with
the number. They you can receive
the lifetime license.
The new license law should en-
courage dog owners to take ad-
vantage of this safe, painless and
reasonable way to protect their
pets. Legal change of ownership is
easily managed.
Anyway you look at it, having
your pet tattooed is the safest and
best protection you can get against
having your dog lost or stolen.

Dear Editor:
As more and more of the
economic indicators point to a
recovery, it may be well to ask if we
are ready for it. ‘‘Certainly,” you
say, “for I have wanted this very
much for quite some time.” But
does that mean you are ready for it?
For as surely as we need to
prepare for the storm, we must
prepare for the sunshine. But what
sort of preparation does one need
for prosperity? Would it not be wise
to be geared for better times by
looking to the three basic levels:
physical, emotional and spiritual?
Recession brings depression,
which brings low energy levels.
Maybe the winter has brought on a
few extra pounds or loosened some
muscles.
Start today, set a goal by getting
in shape for summer. Begin at
home by doing simple exercises.
You don’t need an exercise club or
fancy equipment, just determina-
tion.
Second, be prepared emotionally
for the recovery. The best way, the
only way, is to bury all the recession
created emotions you carry with
you. Start these new, good times
i
fresh and alive. “But how do you do
that?” you ask. Forgive. There is
nothing that releases more joy, than
when you forgive. The attitude of
forgiveness is the greatest
emotional healer ever construed.
Lastly and most importantly, go
back to church. Find a church, bible
study or prayer meeting where you
feel God is present. Deeply commit
yourself to be an active part of it.
If you can do these three things
you'll be ready for the recovery; in
fact youll be ready for anything.

March 20 to 26 is Pennsylvania 4-
H Week. Theme for the week is ‘“4-
H--A Place To Belong.” 4-H is
growing across the Commonwealth
as more and more people find out
that is has something for everyone.
In 1982, 91,655 Pennsylvania youths,
ages 8-19, belonged to 4-H. Nearly 58
percent of that group were girls; 42
percent were boys.
Through their involvement in 4-H
projects, the youths learn about
practical things like sewing buttons
and raising animals. They learn
responsibility, develop new skills
and meet new friends.
More than 12,500 adults were
involved in 4-H as volunteer leaders
last year.
4-H is really far more diverse
than its title might connote. 4-H
offers more than 100 different
projects that young people can
explore to find out what interests
them and where their talents lay.
This variety is reflected in some
famous 4-H alumni, including Dolly
Parton, Johnny Bench, Ed Muskie,
Popcorn King Orville Redenbacher,
Don Meredity, Roy Rogers,
Jacqueline Kennedy, jockey Steve
Cauthen, astronaut Alan Shephard,
Jr., opera star Sherrill Milnes,
presidential advisor David Stock-
man and race car driver Richard
Petty. Although not every former 4-
takes some of the credit. Inter-
ested? Call Chris Tomascik at the
Luzerne County Extension Office,
825-1712 or 459-0736, ext. 712.

Aside from 4-H week, Pennsyl-
vania also celebrates several more
proclaimed “weeks” in March. Did
you know that March 6-12 was
Women’s History Week? The cele-
bration was proclaimed by Gov.
Thornburgh in order to focus
special attention on women’s
contributions to the history of the
Commonwealth and the nation.
And March 13-19 was ‘Employ
the Older Worker Week.” In signing
this proclamation, the governor
urged all citizens to cooperate with
the Departments of Aging, Labor
and Industry, and various private
and federally-sponsored older
worker programs, and to support
the worthwhile attempts being
made to help our older Pennsyl-
vanians find and retain rewarding
jobs. He noted and this is the heart
of the matter that our older workers
possess a lifetime of talent that
should not and cannot be wasted!

Coming up in April, we have yet
another governmental
proclamation - ‘‘Child Abuse
Prevention Month.” Considering
the seriousness of some of the
governor's proclamations, I only
hope he is able to do more than
simply sign a document specifying
from Mak
a segment of time to recognize a
problem or institution deserving of
our consideration.

Some notes from area hospitals.
Wilkes-Barre General has been
offering free parkade parking to all
hospital patients since the middle of
the month. Day shift employees.
also get free parking and tran- *
sportation to and from one of the
hospital's satellite lots, free of
charge. That’s the kind of con-
sideration and caring attitude one
might logically expect, in a hospital
setting.
Accommodations are for persons
traveling more than 50 miles to visit
related patients at the center during
the period of April 2-4. The inn is
located just four miles from the
center.

And, from Nancy Kozemchak, at
the Back Mountain Library, some %
information about several new
books there:
“Arab Reach,” by Hoag Levins,
is the story of how billions of petro-
dollars have been transformed into
political power. This is the story of
the secret war against Israel, using
an interplay of money and
diplomacy, (which are more ef-
fective than weapons).
“The Attorney Conspiracy,” by
C. Terry Cline, is a riveting and
original novel. The richest man in
America is shot down in cold blood
in his gracious home in Georgia,
while his wife is present. The
shooter is the esteemed duputy
director of the CIA. What is behind
it and why?
“Samaritan,” by Philippe Van
Rindt, is a mesmerizing thriller, a
cold-war bolt of lightning that ex-
plodes into one of the most spell-
binding stories of our time. The
story involves Cardinal
Stanislawski, Bishop of Warsaw,
who also has rallied the dissdent
underground. 5

Some good news has come out of
the state capital lately. There will
be no need for a tuition increase
during the coming year at Pennsyl-
vania’s 14 state-owned colleges.
Gov. Thornburgh’s budget proposal
for the schools includes a $5 million
boost in aid and another $6 million
could be freed up by changes in the
pension system. Faculty and staff
members might not be too happy
with the tuition stabilization, how-
ever. Education Secretary
Designate Robert Wilburn recently
informed the House Appropriations
Committee that faculty and staff
salaries will not be increased for the
coming year. 9
