to a kidnapping or abduction and it
was believed that a juvenile or adult
was in danger.”
“In either case,” he stated, ‘‘a
regional missing person report
could be out in 20 minutes by phone
to an area covering 11 counties and
in 12 hours it would go statewide.
Twenty four hours after the person
was last seen, the missing person’s
name would be officially entered
with N.CII.C. (National Criminal
Identification Center).
“In Dallas, there are an average
of eight missing persons reported
each year,” said Miers. ‘‘So far
everyone has been found,” he
stated, adding ‘‘there is a difference
between lost children, who are
usually found in an hour or two, and
teen-age runaways. We have found
runaways as far away as California
and as close as Wilkes-Barre - the
longest took a month and a half.”
“The usual procedure with runa-
il
T=
ways,’”’ Miers explained, ‘‘is to
check hangouts and their friends
because there is usually a friend
helping them.”
Maintaining good communications
with your kids so they don’t just
take off is the preventative advice
the police chief had to offer.
An effort to protect young chil-
dren was begun locally last spring
when Chief Miers spent a week at
the Dallas Township Elementary
School fingerprinting the students.
This project, suggested by the
Kathy Jesse, will be continued
during this school year to include
children transferred from the
former Dallas Borough School and
has also been requested by the
Nursery School at Trinity Presby-
terian Church.
“Parental permission is neces-
sary to fingerprint a child,” Miers
explained. ‘A copy of the finger-
prints is then sent home to maintain
where it should be placed in a safe
deposit box or with important
papers in a fireproof box. Finger-
prints are not going to help find a
child,” he continued, ‘‘but a particu-
lar place can be dusted to see if
they have been there.
“Fingerprints can also be used to
identify a decomposed body,” he
said and continued with another
example.
“Say, New York authorities went
into a joint in Greenwich Village
and were not satisfied that everyone
was who they said they were. A
missing juvenile could be found that
way. You don’t have to physically
have the fingerprints to compare
them; you can score ‘letters and
numerical designations in a 10-digit
code on a computer.”
Preventative advice offered by
the police chief to parents of young
children was ‘‘tell them to stay in
the back yard or tell you where they

Seminar set
Four nationally prominent health
care ' experts, whose professional
backgrounds evolve around today’s
vast changes in costly medical tech-
nology, are among the featured
speakers at the Seventh Annual
Pocono Conferences on Health Care,
Oct. 27, at The Woodlands.
The all-day symposium, spon-
sored each fall by Blue Cross of
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
Pennsylvania Blue Shield, will
address the theme, ‘‘Advances in
Medical Technology - Whoe
Decides?’
More than 400 persons from north-
eastern Pennsylvania and other
regions of the state are expected to
attend. Invitations have been
extended to chief executive officers,
board chairmen and 'medieal staff
representatives of regional hospi-
tals, area Health System Agency
officials and board members, Blue
Cross directors and Advisory Board
members. Others in attendance will
include leaders of health care serv-
ice organizations and high-level offi-
cials representing business, indus-
try, education, government and
labor in the northeastern Pennsyl-
vania community.
Gilbert D. Tough, of Lehman,
president and chief executive officer
of Blue Cross of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, noted that ‘this year’s
(seventh annual) Conference
explores a wider dimension of the
effects of today’s complex health
care delivery system, and how it
costs are impacting on the commu-
nity.” ;

It appears so far that there have
