Mr. Elias was in business in Wilkes-Barre for many years, dur- ing which time he wrote several plays and short stories. He later moved to New York and had two of his plays produced there. One, “Socrates, Socrates,” was vide- otaped and copies have been sold to nearly 300 colleges and univer- sities in the United States, Canada and Australia. In “The Shy Nude” Mr. Elias bysitting seminar at General Hospital weaves three plots, the major one the story of the revenge of Chester, the main character, against a woman who drove him out of town nine years earlier. The woman looks on herself as a patron of the arts; when Chester learns this he attempts to sell her a fake Impres- sionist painting for a large sum of money. In addition to writing, Mr. Elias records the stories and experiences of World War II airmen on vide- otape, which he sells to the history departments of colleges. Twenty-three area teens recently attended Wilkes-Barre General Hospital's babysitting seminary. The seminar, sponsored by the hospital's Volunteer Services Department, is taught by members of General's Education Department and officers from the Safety and Security Department.

DENMON Staff Writer When a group of Penn State Wilkes-Barre students were searching for a community project to take on, part of the answer came from an item in a Rhode Island newspaper. Sean Kelly, assistant director of student programs and services, came across an item in the paper telling about a group of college students who were planning a one- day Fall cleanup day in the college community. “I thought, ‘why not do some- thing similar here," said Kelly, “and when I mentioned it to the stu- dents they began discussing what type of similar projects they could do over a longer length of time for the community. “They tossed several ideas around and finally came up with the suggestion of shoveling snow for senior citizens and handicapped residents of Lehman. They also suggested doing errands for those who would be snowbound in the event of a storm. They would do their shopping, pick up their mail and run other errands for these residents,” Kelly explained. The students idea was that when the media predicted a storm, the students would run errands in advance for the citizens, then go back to the homes after the snow- fall and clear away the snow. “I made it understood that these residents would have to be patient because I didn't want the students out on the roads until they were clear. I didn't want them to take unnecessary chances on slippery roads. The students had numer- ous calls to help some of the senior citizens or handicapped with housecleaning, such as moving or lifting heavy items or cleaning win- dows. “The students volunteer their time, they are not paid for their work,” Kelly emphasized. “We have approximately 15 signed up for the program; three staff members and the rest students. They are enthu- siastic about helping the residents. “They placed posters and signs describing the project in various business places throughout the community and had our two phone numbers on the posters. They had only to call 675-9287 or 675-9284 to get help. When the residents call us, we contact the students to go help them. The students have a dedicated concern for helping others,” Kelly said. He explained that the Student Government Association has 24 clubs on campus and one of each club's stipulations is that its members must participate in community work in order to re- ceive funding. The Veterans Club, for instance, does community cleanup in Lehman Center, and the Circle K Club does volunteer work at Hi Meadows. “The Snowbound Project aids the residents physically and also saves them the cost of paying someone when these people can't get out. Since we started the proj- ect, the weather has not been very cooperative, but more people also have to become aware of our pro- gram. Many of the residents are hesitant to call us, but once we help one or two, they spread the word to others. Many of the local | students bring in the name of a* neighbor or a resident living down the road from who needs help. “Once we help a resident we keep their name on a list and do errands for them automatically every time we have had weather. The students are anxious to help others and eventually we hope to extend our program to cover more area,” Kelly concluded.
