Vets
(Continued from page 1)
“It was a zoo, crazy, madness,
insanity, all of the above,” he
stated.
Like Roxby, Milne will also attend
a number of parades including one
in Wyoming where a float in honor
of those who had served will be
displayed. Both men agree, how-
ever, that the holiday is not cele-
brated in the true spirit of the
occasion.
“Most people think of it as a day
to party,” Roxby noted. “At one
time, it use to rank right up there
with Christmas, but now it’s just
another holiday.”
“It isn’t observed the way it
should be,” Milne agreed. ‘I think
most poeple just think of it as a day
off from work. But they should give
a moment of silence to show their
respect.”
Milne’s organization, which is
comprised of over 40 members,
meets every other Thursday to dis-
cuss various topics ranging from
veterans benefits to the POW
MIA’s.
“Right now, there are 2,436 POW
MIA’s” Milne stated. “I don’t really
think much is being done about it.
The Reagan administration said
they are doing what they can. But
we're just trying to keep the public
aware and put pressure on the
politicians. These men can’t be for-
gotten.”
Milne, who now spends most of
his time helping and informing vet-
erans, also discusses other items
with the group like the Agent
Orange situation, VA benefits and
parades that may be upcoming.
But on Monday, both men will put
aside the issues and salute their
comrades who were not as fortunate
as they were to return home. They
will hang out flags from their
porches and look back on the past.
And they’ll remember.

clubs and organizations, at home, in
the neighborhood and through other
programs and health organizations.
With children, the format runs from
grades K-6, 7-9 and 10-12.
Marilyn Maslow, a Back Moun-
tain resident and president-elect of
the Wyoming Valley Unit, says dif-
ferent programs have been intro-
duced to the Lake-Lehman and
Dallas School Districts as well as a
number of other schools who have
shown interest. But even though she
is pleased with the direction the
ACS is going, there are frustrating
times.
“It bothers me to see someone
smoking a cigarette,” Maslow said.
“Don’t they know that with every
puff they take a second off their
life? Why do they do that? We know
that smoking is linked to cancers of
the throat, larynx, esophagus and
the mouth.
“And we know that by not smok-
ing and controlling your diet people
can help themselves,”” Maslow con-
tinued. “We can’t control the envi-
ronment with some of the air we
breathe, but we know that definitely
two ways people can help them-
selves is by not smoking and with a
proper diet.”
Statistics show that cigarette
smoking is responsible for 83 per
cent of lung cancer deaths and 30
per cent of cancer deaths overall.

Hershey Medical Center of the
Pennsylvania State University

recognition.
Last year, he was in the spotlight
once again when he headed a
research team that developed an
implantable motor-driven total arti-
ficial heart now known as the Penn
State Heart. Pierce also headed the
surgery teams that implanted the
heart in two operations performed
at the center this past year.
In addition, other credits that led
to the development of the heart
include the invention of a single
blood pump to replace the heart in
1962; the introduction of segmented
polyurethane for the fabrication of
artificial hearts, and development
of a pneumatic heart pump which
has now been used in 14 life-saving
cases.
Dr. Pierce’s research work has
centered on the development of
cardiovascular prostheses for sup-
port of the circulation, and to study
the interaction of these support
devices with the experimental
animal or ill patient. His research
