ATTENTION CD BUYERS 111% SUPRANTEED CALL JOHN HOLLAND E. F. HUTTON & CO. COURTHOUSE SQUARE TOWER WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702 WHEN E. F. HUTTON TALKS PEOPLE LISTEN Mental Retardation Month March is Mental Retardation month. During this time, those who love or serve mentally retarded persons hope to draw attention to the national, state and local problem of mental retardation and its effect on the family, the community, and the economy. This recognition is made in appreciation of the forward strides being made in improving the chances of the mentally retarded to lead happy, useful and satisfying lives in the community and in anticipation of future gains to be accomplished through a knowledgeable and supportive public. . The Luzerne-Wyoming County MH-MR Center offers comprehensive Treatment, Case Management and Day Development services for adults with mental retardation. These services are located at 320 South Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre. Referrals and intakes for all adult mental retarda- tion services are initiated by MR Case Mangement staff. These referrals usually fall into two broad categories: Institutional and Community. Staff meet with the person nearing discharge from a state facility at the earliest possible time to establish a rapport that will continue when they return to their home or structured living arrangment. Evaluations are performed to forumlate a Life Management Plan for each individual. This Plan activates a network of liaison, advocacy, referral and service involving Center components or allied organizations and groups. Referrals from the community usually originate from intermediate units or school districts that pro- vide special education classes. When the adult with education classes, Case Managers line with the person and their family to provide continuity of care and service. Whether referrals originate from institutional or community settings, MR Case Managers act as the initial and ongoing liaison between the adult with mental retardation and their families and the commu- nity as a whole. Staff members also provide direct counseling services if necessary, and monitor treat- ment throughout the MH-MR Center’s other clinical components. Case Management is responsible for implementation and maintenance of services that enhance the clients’ physical, emotional, economic, vocational, residential and social well-being. Adults with mental retardation can utilize a multitude of the Center’s director or supportive services to assist them to function as meaningful and productive members of society. One unique educational service is the MR Day Development Program. The Program is a state- licensed adult day-care facility that provides instruc- tion in and enchancement of the individual's Activities community survival skills.

It istagain the theme for Poison Prevention Week, March 18-24. The phrase clearly and simply describes the unpredictibility of children and the predictibility of poisonous sub- stances. Jack B. Ogun, R.Ph. director of the state Health Department’s Divi- sion of Drugs, Devices and Cosmet- ics, is also the Department’s poison control coordinator. He says chil- dren under five are among the most frequent victims of accidental poi- soning. “Children at that age are in stages of growth and development where they are constantly exploring the world around them. It is part of the learning process and they shouldn’t be discouraged. “Unfortunately, what they see and reach for, they often put in their mouths. This is the hazard that parents must guard against.” Ogun gives these tips for keeping medicines and hazardous products safely out of reach. When using househld products such as furniture polish, oven cleaners and other cleaning aids, never let them out of your sight - even if you have to take them with you to answer the phone or the door bell. — Store medicines away from household products, and keep them in the original containers with the original labeling. — Never refer to medicines as candy. — Clean out your medicine cabi- net from time to time and carefully discard old medications. — Use safety packaging properly by closing the container and securely after use. : Ogun noted that safety packaging for drugs and chemicals is well worth the trouble. “In 1973, ingestion of oral pre- scription drugs by children under five accounted for 4,180 hospital visits nationwide. In 1981, the latest year for which figures are availa- ble, the number had dropped to 2,688. “Even more impressive, in 1972 there were 216 accidental poisoning deaths of children in the same age group. By 1980, the number had dropped to 12. The Consumer Prod- uct Safety Commission is currently considering child resisitant packag- ing for additional products not cur- rently covered, which are hazardous to children.” * Sen. Frank J. O’Connell, R-20, has announced his support of a bill that protects a new car buyer who gets stuck with a “lemon.” 1 to 4 p.m. 0’Connell explained that the mea- sure will entitle a new car buyer to a refund or replacement if a major defect covered by the warranty cannot be repaired in three attempts within a year of the pur- chase date or 12,000 miles, which- ever comes first. Refund or replace- ment would also apply if the vehicle is out of service for 30 days because of a defect. The “lemon aid” bill was unani- mously approved by the Senate and it will be sent to the House for concurrence.
