Opinion
The Luzerne County Fall Fair begins
today and promises to be ‘‘bigger and
better’ than ever before. With over 170
commercial exhibitors scheduled to appear
at this year’s fair, the variety of things to
see and do has increased quite a bit over
last year.
The Dallas Post is proud to be involved
with the fair and we hope you will find our
1983 Luzerne County Fall Fair Guide to be
most helpful when you visit the fair.
On the back page of the fair guide, which
is included in today’s issue of The Dallas
Post, you will find an entry blank, giving
you the opportunity to become an entrant in
conjunction with the fair.
You can become ‘Front Page News’ ini
completing the entry blank and dropping it
in the ballot box at our stand at the fair. We
will be located in space #125 which is in Tent
#2 near the Livestock Tent.
A random drawing will be conducted at
the fair on Sunday evening at 6 p.m. and the
winner need not be present at the time. The
only requirement for winning, however, is
that you include your address and telephone
number on the entry blank so that we may
contact you.
The winner will be the main ingredient of
a feature story on the front page of our
Sept. 21 issue. In addition, the winner will
receive a Sanyo AM/FM stereo cassette
recorder and dinner at Pickett’s Charge
Restaurant, Dallas. (A $50 value).
Take a minute to fill out the entry blank
and stop by our booth at the fair to say
“hello.” We’d like to meet you and, who
knows, maybe your friends and neighbors
will be reading about you in The Dallas Fost
in two weeks.

The Dallas Post extends its warmest
congratulations to all those who completed
The Second Annual Back Mountain
Triathlon last Saturday. We at The Post
salute the major personal achievement
realized by these athletes and commend
their efforts.
Those who may have gone somewhat
unnoticed during last Saturday’s affair are
snthe hundreds of volunteers who so willingly
tJdgave their time to make the Triathlon as
successful as it was. As temperatures
soared to nearly 100 degrees that day, the
volunteers were hot, too.
But they manned their posts, did their
jobs - and did them well. They provided
water to the athletes; they fixed flat tires;
they offered medical assistance; and most
of them went beyond the call of duty to aid
in any way they saw fit.
The Triathlon, sponsored by The Times
Leader, Falcone Beverage, College
Misericordia, Hanover Bank and Jewelcor,
raised $10,000 for the Wyoming Valley Unit
of the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society is a non-
profit organization with volunteers playing a
major role in making that organization
successful. Their time and efforts in raising
money for cancer research sometimes go
unawarded and unapplauded.
But the volunteers at last Saturday’s
Triathlon can certainly feel the same sense
of accomplishment as those who finished the
gruelling event. Without any one of them,
the whole affair would never have been as
successful as it was.
A pat on the back goes to all of those
people who so unselfishly gave up a day of
their weekend to make The Second Annual
Back Mountain Triathlon possible.

“So You Want To Be A Doctor?” by Naomi
Bluestone is a book for decided and undecided
students as well as for counselors, confused friends
and relatives, and anyone seeking an understanding of
the human side of medicine. Done with warmth, wit
and no-nonsense frankness.
“A Self-made Woman’ by Ruth Harris is witty,
touching, and full of surprises. It is a novel about
possibility and choice, of a mother and daughter
whose struggles and achievments mirror the excite-
ment and eagerness, concerns and confusions of
today’s working women.
“August” by Judith Rossner is set in contemporary
New York and explores the lives of two women, each
unique yet both reminding us in startling ways of
ourselves and others. It is a compelling story of
compassion and understanding, brought close to home.

For several years, the Economic
Development Council of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania (EDCNP) has
undertaken {o encourage the estab-
lishment of primary health care
centers in underserved areas of the
Pocono Northeast. As a result of
this program, in cooperation with
other agencies, six Primary Health
Care Centers-have been established
throughout the region. These have
been located in such wide areas as
Pike, Schuylkill and Carbon Coun-
ties.
In other cases where local organi-
zations have contributed greatly to
the success of primary health care,
agencies such as the Rural Health
Corporation of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania have established such cen-
ters throughout the region.
All of these efforts have improved
greatly the ability of citizens in the
region to have access to primary
health care, when in fact, 20 years
ago or so, such facilities literally
did not exist.
Now, the Appalachian Regional
Commission has continued a pri-
mary health care program and tar-
geted some counties in regions such
as Northeastern Pennsylvania, to
continue the process of establishing
such centers where they are needed.
The EDCNP, as a Local Develop-
ment District under the Appala-
chian Regional Development Pro-
gram continues its program of
activities to encourage the estab-
lishment of primary health care
facilities.
These facilities provide the first
level of treatment for patients who
require general health care needs
and are an important contributor to
providing health care for the
region’s citizens. This is particu-
larly important in an area such as
Northeastern Pennsylvania which
has a relatively low median income
base and which has a very high
incidence of elderly persons on fixed
incomes.

opment Council, Box 777, Avoca, PA

Energy programs in Pennsylvania
are being funded for the seventh
consecutive year by the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE). The
DOE Region III office in Philadel-
phia has approved a $1.8 million
spending plan for the Governor’s
Energy Council (GEC) to be imple-
mented between Oct. 1, 1983 and
Sept. 30, 1984.
According to Robert A. Shinn,
Executive Director of the Council,
these funds will allow the GEC to
continue Pennsylvania’s energy con-
servation programs.
“The Governor’s Energy Council
will continue programming which
encourages energy efficiency,” said
Shinn. “This year we are looking at
projects - such as the Building
Energy Rating Program - that can
produce both immediate results and
long-range benefits’.
The Building Energy Rating Pro-
gram is a system for determining
and comparing a residential build-
ing’s energy efficiency with others
in the same climate zone. A good
rating would make a building more
desirable to potential buyers. It
could also be .a favorable factor in
mortgage negotiations.
The GEC will also continue fund-
ing 10 regional Pennsylvania
Energy Centers (PECs). The PECs
have been in operation since May,
1981 providing information services
and energy efficiency site visits in
Pennsylvania communities. To date,
they have generated a saving of
over 221,000 barrels of oil across the
Commonwealth.
“As a new feature of our pro-
grams this year, we will be examin-
ing the state’s district heating sys-
tems to determine their energy
potential,” Shinn continued.
District heating systems use
waste steam or hot water generated
by manufacturing processes to pro-
vide heating and cooling services to
nearby communities.
The Governor’s Energy Council is
a body of public and private sector
representatives who advise the
Commonwealth on energy issues.
The Council is chaired by Lieuten-
ant Governor William W. Scranton,
III and is responsible for managing
federal energy grants programs for
Pennsylvania. 2
