have desire
More than four out of five Penn-
sylvania residents who are smokers
want to kick the habit, according to
Michael Mulvey, Health Educator,
of the Pennsylvania Department of
Health.
This fact was brought to light by a
report on Smoking Practices Among
Adults in Pennsylvania, recently
published by the Health Risk Reduc-
tion Program of the State Depart-
ment of Health. The report summa-
rizes the results of a survey of 904
adults, ages 18-64, conducted in
November, 1982.
Since there are currently 2,440,000
adults in Pennsylvania who are
smokers, -this means that close to 2
million people are looking for ways
to stop.
There are many good reason why
smokers should want to quit smok-
ing Mr. Mulvey pointed out. Smok-
ing not only causes a variety of
to give up
illnesses such as lung cancer, heart
disease, emphysema and chronic
bronchitis but also it can shorten
the life expectancy of the individual
smoker by as much as six years.
Smoking also poses a health
hazard to the non-smoker who is
smoke coming from the burning end
of a cigarette. The Pennsylvania
survey found that nine percent of all
adults have asthma, heart disease
or some other chronic condition
tream smoke.

survey on Smoking Practices can be

At a recent meeting, the Luzerne-
Wyoming Country Drug and Alcohol
Program and the Luzerne Interme-
diate Unit 18 joined in an effort
aimed at preventing drug and alco-
hol abuse amongst young people in
Luzerne and Wyoming Counties.
The Drug and Alcohol Program
loaned the Intermediate Unit 17
films which are part of a compre-
hensive drug and alcohol prevention
curriculum for students in grades
kindergarten through 12th grade. In
turn, Luzerne Intermediate Unit
will process the films through their
instructional materials service,
thereby making the films available
through an established loan system
that all of the schools have been
utilitizing for many years. Frances
M. Houston is the director of thein-
structional materials service.
The curriculum, ‘Here's Looking
At You - Two,” is considered one of
the best drug and alcohol education
prevention programs in the country.
It is much more than the historical
information only approach used by
institutions in the past.
Information has not successfully
prepared young people to deal with
the monumental drug and alcohol
issues of our society. ‘Here’s Look-
Nello Riccetti,
Alcohol
Unit;
and Dr. Thomas E. Di
ing at You - Two’ recognizes the
need for accurate information, but
also considers other human needs,
thus, the currciulum focuses on four
major components: information,
decision making, self-concept, and
coping. Assisting young people to
develop such critical life skills
related to issues of individual drug
and alcohol use or abuse is the
major goal of the curriculum.
Thomas Cesarini of the Luzerne-
Wyoming County Drug and Alcohol
Program has porvided orientation
programs on the curriculum to all
school superintendents, curriculum
directors and many teachers and-
Stanley J. Jarolin, D-Luzerne,
Representatives.
“My first year as the State Repre-
sentative from the 119th district has
provided me the opportunity to
meet with officials on all levels of
our government... local, state and
federal,” © Jarolin said. ‘Through
House committees, ‘and with the
imput from constituents, I have
the
problems that face residents of Luz-
erne County to the attention of those
who can provide solutions.
“With the added seniority of a
second term,” Jarolin added, ‘‘I will
have more input with regard to
appropriations as well as other mat-
district. I have ‘sponsored or co-
sponsored over 170 bills so far this
UG prepared
UGI Corporation’ s Electric Utility
heating customers that the company
stands ready to make arrangments
for payment of the unavoidably
higher heating bills that arc result-
ing from the record-breaking low
temperatures of December and Jan-
uary.
Electric Utility Division Manager-
Consumer Relations Fred Hartwig-
sen said that UGI has had a long-
standing policy of working with
customers who have had difficulty
‘paying their bills.
STANLEY J. JAROLIN
benefit the residents of Luzerne
County. I intend to keep working
toward finding solutions to the prob-
lems that face the constituents of
the 119th district, as well as those
that affect the entire Common-
wealth.
“One of my goals this session,
was to reduce the Corporate Net
Income Tax to small ‘businesses.
This goal was achieved with the
signing of Act 90 of 1983. Act 90
would taxl qualified small busi-
nesses at the state personal income
tax rate of 2.45 percent rather than
at the corporate rate of 10.5 percent.
It is my hope that this will help to
increase employment in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania.”
Rep. Jarolin is and has been a
full-time legislator. He is available
to the public every day of the week,
either at the Plymouth Office, his
home or the Harrisburg Office.
“The input I receive from the
constituents is very important to
me,” he said. “It would not be
possible to represent this district
eithér fairly or justly if I did not
receive this input.”
Hartwigsen explained, ‘‘because it
seems very likely that this extraor-
dinarily severe winter may cause
financial problems among custom-
ers who have not previously had
difficulty in paying their bills and,
consequently, may not be aware of
our readiness to help.”
The reminder, Hartwigsen said,
message will be printed on the bills
of customers who are not already on
our Equal Monthly Payment plan.
“Two, UGI will advertise in the
principal newspapers in our service
area.
“The basic messae will be the
same in both cases,” Hartwigsen
said: “If customers feel their abnor-
mally high bills caused by
extremely cold weather may create
a payment hardship, they should
call us as soon as possible. We will
work with customers to set up. an
extended payment schedule that
will help minimize the impact the
extreme weather will have on' the
family budget.”
For assistance, customers should
call UGI at 288-7641.

parent groups in the bi-county area.
the following school districts: have
been trained to use the curriculum:
Dallas, Wilkes-Barre, Lake-
Lehman, Tunkhannock, Northwest,
Nanticoke, Hanover, Crestwood,
Wyoming Valley West, Wyoming
and Pittston. The majority of teach-
ers trained thus far are in the junior
high school level.
Three disticts - Dallas, Lake-
Lehman and Tunkhannock have
receied subsequent training and
have proceeded to implement the
curriculum in the elementary
grades, The long range goal is to
have all districts implement the
curriculum comprehensively, that
is, providing it to all students in
grades kindergarten through 12.
