The Northeast Pennsylvania
vania’s United States senators to
prevent the 16 cent per pack federal
cigarette tax from falling on Oct. 1
and asked the senators to help
increase the tax to 32 cents per
pack.
“The cigarette tax helps discour-
age people, especially teen-agers,
from taking up smoking,” said Joan
Noto Carro, R.N., Executive Vice
President of the Heart Association’s
Northeast Pennsylvania Chapter.
“The federal “cigarette excise tax
was raised from eight cents to 16
cents in 1982, but it will fall to eight
cents pack on Oct. 1, unless Con-
gress acts to stop it. A lower tax
would allow cigarette companies to
lower prices, making it easier for
teenagers to afford cigarettes.”
Carro noted that cigarette compa-
nies will also be able to increase
their profits at the expense of the
federal government if the tax is
lowered.
“The federal government receives
almost $5 billion annually from the
tax now,” she said. “If we allow the
tax to be cut in half, the U.S.
government will simply be giving
up halfof that $5 billion to cigarette
companies instead of using it to
reduce the federal deficit or to help
pay for Medicare and other health
programs.”
In late July, the House Ways and
Means Committee passed a budget
reconciliation bill that would low
the extension of the 16 cents per
pack tax. The Senate is expected to
consider the bill later this month,
when its Finance Committee and
then the full Senate adopt a budget
reconciliation package.
“We are therefore calling on Sen-
ator John Heinz and Senator Arlen
Specter to prevent the tax from
dropping and to support an increase
in the tax to 32 cents a pack,” Carro
said. “Thirty-two cents is the level
the tax would be if it had been
adjusted for inflation since it was
increased in 1951.
Congress planned in 1982 to allow
the tax to fall because it expected
the federal budget deficit to be
reduced $66 billion by this year.
However, the Office of Management
and Budget predicted in early
August that the U.S. will have
deficits of $200 billion in 1985 and
1986.
The Dallas Cowboys A and B
teams came away from Larksville
having both tied highly rated Green
Wave teams. The A team staged a
third quarter come back to tie the
Green Waves through an awsome
running and passing attach. Guided
by quarterback Clark Van Orden
taking the ball to the Larksville one
foot line. Behind the fearsom line,
Bob Barbacci plunged in for the Tee
extra point attempt that knotted the
score at 6-6. Larksville’s only score
came on a 60 yard scamper by
quarter back Tom Robins, who
turned in a fine performance for the
Waves. Coach Jesse praised the fine
performance of his offensive line-
men and the entire defensive units
ability to turn back the Green
Waves scoring drives.
The B team saw Larksville score
early in the first quarter with the
extra point being good. The cowboys
stalled throughout most of the

second half came alive late in the
fourth quarter via the air waves
three consecutive passes from
quarterback Hugo Selenski to Jere-
miah Van Orden and Fred Rosen-
crans brought the ball to the Larks-
ville 11 yard line with time running
out Selenski found Van Orden in the
open and connected for the 11 yard
touchdown. The extra point attempt
was good coming via a flat pass
from Selenski to Van Orden. The
Cowboys threatened again as the
clock ran down that failed to put a
successful scoring drive together.
Keg fumble recoverys by Bob Jesse,
Michael Geurin and Chris Morris
aided the Cowboys in keeping the
Green Waves in check. The interior
line while fighting hard to open
holes did a good job for running
backs. The defensive unit time and
time again stopped the Waves deep
in Cowboy territory. Final score
Cowboys 8 and Larksville 8.
Sunglasses, one of summer’s most
popular accessories, provide fashion
and comfort from the sun’s lumi-
nous rays, but to be truly effective,
you should buy lenses that protect
your eyes from damaging ultravi-
olet light, say opthalmologists.
“Ultraviolet light is invisible to us
and causes sunburn not only to the
skin, but to the cornea, the front of
the eye,” says opthalmologist David
A. Newsome, MD, Director of the
Wynn Center for Retinal Degenera-
tion, John Hopkins Hospital, Balti-
more. “When selecting sunglasses,
keep in mind that you want to turn
down the sun’s brightness and block
out all blue ultraviolet light,” says
Newsome.
Opthalmologists agree that contin-
uous prolonged exposure to the sun
can lead to early vision damage.
‘‘some people may be more suscep-
tible to UV light than others and
should take extra precaution when
out in the sun for long periods of
time, such as visiting the beach,
skiing at a high altitude, or working
outdoors,” says Newsome. The pro-
longed exposure may cause early
development of cataracts.
If over exposure occurs, and the
pain is severe, you should see an
opthalmologist for medical care. If
the pain is less significant, taking a
milk.pain pill and keeping the eyes
closed will help.
Self-applied, topical anesthetic
should never be used. While it might
temporarily relieve pain, it could
cause permanent corneal damage.
The following DOs and DONTs
are recommended by Newsome
when shopping for sunglasses:
DO:
Do turn down the volume of the
sun, with amber, yellow or gray
(smoke), colored lenses.
Do consider mirrored sunglasses :
which decrease glare and substan-
tially reduce UV rays. :
Do look for manufacturer’s tag
telling you that the sunglasses pro-
vide UV protection.
Do consider buying plastic lenses,
which are three times moreeffective
at filtering out harmful rays than,
glass lenses.
DON’T:
Despite fashion appeal, tints like
pink, rose, blue or violet are unsuit-
able because they interfere with
color perception and let UV rays
shine through.
Don’t assume that expensive
sunglasses will provide the most
protection from UV light.
The American Academy of
Opthalmology has more than 13,000
member physicians who specialize
in total eye care. Opthalmologists
diagnose and treat eye disease med- |
ically and surgically, provide medi-
cal eye examinations and prescribe
contact lenses and glasses. fd
accredited
Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Trans-
fusion Service has been awarded
accreditation by the American Asso-
ciation of Blood Banks (AABB),
according to Nesbitt administrator
Ron Stern.
Accreditation follows an intensive
on-site inspection by association
representatives and establishes that
the level of medical, technical and
administrative performance within
the facility meets or exceeds the
rigorous standards set by the
AABB.
More than 2,200 similar facilities
across the United States and abroad
have earned the accreditation
rating and recognition.
Stern explained: ‘The AABB’s
inspection and accreditation proce-
dures are voluntary. It is not legally
necessary for a blood bank or trans-
fusion service to be accredited, but
like many others, our facility has
sought accreditation because it rep-
resents a level of professional and
medical expertise that meets and
exceeds government regulations.
The primary goal of the program is
to assist facilities like ours to
achieve excellence and thus provide
higher quality blood, blood compo-
nents and other services to
patients.”

and Transfusion Services are writ-
ten by the AABB Committee on
Standards. The AABB National
Committee on Inspection and Accre-
ditation assures compliance before
granting accreditation. Not only do
these standards set the level of
professional proficiency for blood
banks and transfusion services in
the United States, but they provide
the basis of practice for similar
facilities around the world.
Founded in 1947, the AABB is the
only national organization in the
United States devoted exclusively to
blood banking and blood transfusion
tists, physicians, nurses, medical
technologists and administrators is
engaged in all aspects of the field.
Other programs and services
offered by the AABB include the
national clearing house, a mecha-
nism allowing donor to replace
blood for friends, or relatives living
anywhere in the country; the rare
donor file; frozen blood depots;
continuing education programs, ref-
exchange and consultation; a volun-
