There are thousands of unused
college scholarships and loans for
which students can and do qualify.
The students’ problem is to find
those for which they qualify.
Student College Aid, a nationwide,
computerized, scholarship locator
service, with $500,000,000 of non-
government awards in its data base,
searches out scholarships and loans
for students. Students contact the

been his main means of transporta-
tion. The American Cancer Society
thought it was pretty great, too, and
presented Bobby with a special
trophy for being such an inspiration
to everyone else.
Bobby’s three-wheeler eventually
‘wore out and he has recently gradu-
ated to a flashy purple two-wheeler
that is his pride and joy.
It’s pretty lonely lying in a hospi-
tal bed in Philadelphia for a guy
like Bobby who has taught himself
to get around and see people So
Bobby’s mom, Carol says, ‘‘He
wants us to bring his bike down to
the hospital because he misses it
so.”
One of the places Bobby visited
regularly on his bike was the Kings-
ton Township Police Station which
is a short run down the hill from the
Adams’ home on Holly Street. He
went to see his friend Police Chief
Paul Sabol and all his other police-
man friends who thought that Bobby
was so great they made him a
deputy member of the police force
complete with hat, sergeant stripes,
handcuffs, badge and an 1.D. card.
“Bobby carries his I.D. card at all
times,” according to his mother and
is probably showing it to the doctors
down at Shriner Hospital now as
they prepare him for surgery.
“Surgery is a risk for him,” said
his mother explaining that Bobby
has other multiple birth defects.
“Bobby is a bleeder. He has a blood
disorder, too, and a low white: cell
count and sometimes his blood
doesn’t clot well.”
“We just pray a lot,” said Mrs.
Adams, speaking also for her hus-
band, Gerry, and their other three

Doctors plan to cut Bobby’s lower
legs during the operation and
straighten out his twisted lower
tibia bones, putting three pins in
each to make walking easier and
less painful for Bobby.
“After his other two leg opera-
tions, Bobby was in a body cast and
in the hospital for two months and
then has lots of physical therapy
afterward,” said Mrs. Adams. Her
hope is that his hospital stay won't
be as long this time since Bobby is
very anxious to return to his sixth
grade class at Lehman-Jackson
School.
At present, Bobby is in a Special
Education class but is mainstream-
ing in several subjects and hopes to
be able to be in the regular seventh
grade classes in Dallas next year.
“Bobby loves school” says his
mom, ‘‘and he’s found a new love
there - computers. He wants to use
them in Dallas.”
Having Boby go to school in
Dallas would be easier, too, since
his mother works part-time for the
‘school district as a cafeteria worker
in the Senior High School.
“I wash pots and pans. I do it for
Bobby,” said Carol Adams, explain-
ing that her husband is presently
out of work.
“Shriners Hospital
really wonderful; they’ve never
charged us a penny,” she said. “I
don’t know what we would have
done without them. They're prepar-
ing blood transfusions for. Bobby
down there today, but maybe he
won’t need them this time.”
Here’s hoping only the best is in
store for Bobby Adams, the boy his
mother describes as ‘‘a lover of
people,both young and old. He has a
smile for them all.”

Commonwealth Telephone Com-
pany filed tariff revisions Nov. 1
with the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission requesting permission
to offer Local Measured Service
(LMS) on an optional, trial basis
within the Dallas (675) exchange
effective Jan. 1, 1984. This offering
would be available to all private
line business and residential cus-
tomers, according to William R.
Sonnett, Jr., Director of Revenue
Requirements and Regulatory Rela-
tions.
If the Public Utility Commission
permits this filing to become effec-
tive, private line customers within
the Dallas exchange will have the
option of retaining flat rate local
exchange service ($7.45 per month
for private line residence customers
and $14.45 per month for private
ing to LMS.
“Local Measured Service is a
method of charging customers for
local service according to how much
they use their telephones for
making (not receiving) local calls,”
Sonnett explained. ‘‘Customers
choosing this option will pay a lower
monthly basic local service rate and
will then be charged for each local
call, based on time of day, distance
of the call and duration - much the
incurred.”
“LMS is a means of helping cus-
tomers contain the inevitably rising
costs of telephone service brought
about by Federal Communications
Commission mandated regulatory
changes,” Sonnett added.
Dallas private line residence cus-
tomers choosing the LMS option will
pay a basic monthly line rate of
$4.50; ; private line business custom-
ers will pay a basic monthly line
rate of $8.70. Usage charges for all
customers will be four cents for the
initial period (four minutes) and
one-half cent for each additional
minute for calls made within the
exchange. Usage charges for calls
outside the exchange, but within the
local calling area, will be charged
at fie cents for the initial period and
one cent for each additional minute.
will be applied for measured calls
made between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
every day of the week.
Local usage charges do not apply
on calls to the telephone company
business office, repair service, local
directory assistance or 911 emer-
gency service. LMS will not be
provided for foreign exchange,
public and semi-public coin service
or special services.
Drugs ——
(Continued from page 1)
Larry Shuler is shown
addressing the crowd at last
week's town meeting held in
conjunction with ‘‘The
Chemical People,’’ a
national television show
about drug and alcohol
abuse. The second town
meeting is set for this eve-
ning.
The ‘‘wall of denial” that was
brought up during the show fortun-
ately didn’t appear at the meeting,
Rev. Rothrock said. Instead of turn-
ing their backs on their children by
pretending there is no problem,
local parents wanted to know ‘why
the issue of drug and alcohol abuse
hasn’t been brought out into the
open more often.
Rev. Rothrock feels the drug
problem in the Back Mountain is
serious and should be dealt with.
“It’s very silly to deny the fact of a
drug problem,” stated Rev. Roth-
rock.
He attributes a lot of the exposure
to drugs and alcohol to the televi-
sion and radio ads which say that if
you feel bad, pop this pill, or to feel
good, drink this. Therefore, it’s
ironic that the television industry
may now be heading the fight
against drug and alcohol abuse.
Scheduled for discussion at the
Nov. 9 town meeting are ideas of
community involvement to combat
drug and alcohol abuse locally.
