Dear Editor: Local citizens have asked how the loss of the hospital would

llfect the area business community. The hospital pays the busi­nesses approximately $40,000 a year directly. This is mainly to a few businesses so if you took an average, you would have to say that this !.s a small amount and not critical in any way. The revenue from the staff is about the same as a factory em­playing as m any people. The loss here would be much greate.r although by no means a breaking point- BUT - the real loss would come about in this way:-

As long as the hospital has been in operation the area has had a group of people working together for a common cause. This is what makes a community a good place to live and do busi­

·ness, just as a community that pulls apart is a hard place to do business.

As with a family , a community with its many facets must grow or face stagnation. The loss . of the institution would mean a great economic loss for the araa, because to properly factor this problem we must measure our wealth by our attitudes, and not paper money.

It seems that when a group of people work together, mountains begin to move and the search for the. dollar is taken over by pride and self-esteem. Milo is the best thing that has happened to al0tofpeople and I believe we should not lose sight of a hos­pital. It if is only a child working out of an empty refrigerator carton, because if the system is right this institution will sus-

tain and grow. If th~ system is wrong, then it becomes our so­lemn duty to change it.

It could be that 1974 is the year we go from quantity to quality, and that is where we can excel, and this of course wipes out the question of efficiency. Maybe the most efficient hospital was carried out in a tent with one doctor, 4 nurses and as many helpers. The GI's thought very highly of this hospital.

Continuing on the subject of area economics . About 3 years ago a Bangor company made a survey to see what the large shopping centers wquld hav~ on the small towns- the ans wer was : to be successful, they would have to dry up the small tO''IllS. It was further advanced that if the small towns would put forth just a small amount of added effort, they would beat the shopping cen~rs. This leads us to beliAve that a small ef­fort on the community's part produced a large economic gain. If we give in on this count there will be other responsibilities come up in the future and we must remain in a position to handle them. More effective service will ~mly come about within the brackets of supply and demand. To summarize this lette:? and quoting Webster, "Business is a meeting of minds."

Twenty-two fathers and thirty-four sons with their cheering fans arrived at Elm Street Sunday, August 11th, to participate in a Father-Son Baseball Game sponsored by the Milo Recrea­tion. Department. Milo Explorers were on hand to serve sand­wiches and soda from the CD concession truck. The season's Little League teams paired off (Red Sox and Orioles against Yankees and Athletics) with their respective fathers to make the two ~ams for the game. Sons whose fathers were missing chose proxies from among their families or friends. Odd num­bered innings were played by the sons; even numbered innings were played by the fathers. Nine innings were played in all.

At the end of four innings, the Red· Sox - Orioles were ahead 7-0, but the Yankees - Athletics picked up one more run in the seventh and two in the last of the ninth but were unable to pull off a win due to a five run hitting streak by the Red Sox­Orioles fathers. The final score was the Red Sox-Orioles 13, the Yankees-Athletics 9. Homeruns were hit by Fathers Ju­lius Murano, Clayton Johndro and Proxy Darrell Thompson. A rec;tp of the game statistics showed that the Red Sox-Orio-

. les Fathers outscored. the Yankees-Athletics Fathers 9-2. The Yankees-Athletics Sons, however, outstored the Red .Sox-Orioles Sons 7-4. Who really won? Everybody. Ask the players.

Principle Dodger hitters for the night were George Morse who tripled in the 1st and doubled in the fifth and John Lewis who singled in the third

and tripled in the fifth. The Giants came back on Wednesday; August 7th, to beat the

Braves 5-2 in the consolation game for third and four positions in the playoffs. The Braves outhit the Giants 5-2 but were una­ble to bring their. baserunners home as Giant pitchers Jeff' Her­best, Ricky Sherburne and Charlie Vail struck out 10 of the 20 men they faced in six innings of play, The only Giants player with hits for the night was Jeff H~rbest.

Milo, who was ahead all the way until the sixth inning, lost to Guilford 10-9 Tuesday, August 6th. Pitcher Ricky Sher­burne gave up seven hits, struck out eight and walked six in the game which was won by Guilford mostly because of field­ing errors.

REPORT FROM

CAPITOL HILL

BY SENATOR WIL LIAM D. HATHAWAY

Four years ago, Congress established Amtrak, a new attempt at providing the nation with adequate, dependable, and efficient passenger service, Since that time, ma'ly a.rcas have enjoyed the economic benefits which come from be ing a part of the Am-trak system, .

Unfortunately , we in Maine have not as yet been gi,·en the op­portunity to participate in this passenger system. We do han: a definite need for the service, which would be benefic i Rl t(> oul' tourist industry, assist our citizens. in meeting theil' guncral transportation needs, and help alleviate inercasing highway congestion.

However, no Amtrak route has yet been designatt>Cl to sern1 Maine , This is truly a disadvantage to our citizens , pc<•J,]C \\'ho have supported rail service to other a1·eas through their ta:-:es, but have not received benefits in the ir own states,

This lack of service caJulot be allowed to continll(·, rn the Sen­ate, joining with other members interested in this subjc<.:i., J ha\'e worked to bring passenger rail service to :'IIaine. For m·(·r H

year, in conjunction with the Department of Trru1 sport at ion, 11 t· have explored the posibility of an experimental Boston-to­Portland Amtrak route. In furthering t his ol'fort , ] hA.\'e intro­duced a bill that would upgrade railbeds nation-wide , ma1·inu them safe for speedy passenger travel as well as more effi­cient freight use.

The hope of bring ing Amtrak to Maine eecame closer to r('H.] ­itythis past Thursday when the Senate passed two amendments which I co- sponsored to the Rail Passenger Ser ~ice Act of 197 0.

The first amendment calls for Amtrak to provide sonice to all of the lower 48 states. Maine is currently one of onlv three states which does not have Amtrak passenger ser,·ice, ·a con­dition hopefully to be remedied by this amendment, The second amendment to the 1970 Act provides for an increase in the Fed­er alshareofAmtrakexpenses in establishing rail SO'l"\'ice to an areanotnowservedby the passenger system, This would make it much easier for a state desiring passenger rail transport<'l.ti.on to obtain it using both state and fede,ral funds, Also ineluded in this same amendment was a directivEl to Amtrak to initiate one e:-c­per imental passenger r oute pe_r yea.r to a recreational and re­sort area, such as Maine, beginning in 1976,

Although they must now go. through. conference comm ittec ,,·ith the House, Senate acceJ?.tan.ce of th<:~se amendments is ver .v en­couraging.

Once Amtrak does come b Maine, we will finally become a part of a national system to passenger rail transportation, We will enjoy once agaiJR the economic benefits of this dependable form of transportation which has been too long depri\•ed us.

NOTICE Mr. Wesley M. Harr ington,

State Veterans Cou,n_selor, will be at the Municipal Building onAugust20; 1974, at Dover­Foxcroft, Maine. His hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

bill cohen F .. ROM CONGRESS

se,·ernl months ago, the Feder al Energy Administration pro­posed a program to test oil burner efficiency. The goal of the plan is to develop heating plants that use less fuel.

At the time the FEA announced this plan, I greeted it with great enthusiasm, since Maine and the New England region de­pend especially heavily on oil to heat their homes and busi- . nesses ,

There .are over 2. 3 million homes in Kew England that rely on oil heat. When the FEA announced its oil burner efficiency . program, it estimated that the plan could cut consumption in these homes by an average of 10 per cent. That would mean sa­vings of 15 millinn barrels or roughly $10 million annuallf for Ne11 Engl!md families alone.

Tho i.mportance of such a savings becomes clear ln the 'light of last winter's lowered thermostats, chilly living rooms , and laboriously stacked woodpiles.

l"nfortunately, the FEA has no.t yet taken steps to implement its 01111 program. The oil burner efficiency testing program. pro­posed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ln Novem­ber of 1973 and supported by the FEA shortly thereafter, has still not been put into practice.

Quick action on this propf'lsal last winter might have permitted significant oil savings as ear ly as th is winter, if researchers ,,·ere to discover that minor adjustments in existil:~g oil burners 1rould be sufficient to realize major savings. Further -~elayf? in getting this work moving may mean that the needed information will not be available even for the .winter of 1975,

In an effort to speed action on this program, I joined this week with other members of the New England Congrer.sional Caucus in writing to the Administrator of the Federal Energy Admini­stration, ur~).ng him to act promptly. We stressed that quick steps are essential if dealers are to have time to train addi­tional servicemen to perform oil burner adjustments and to ar­rrutjllC for oil burner servicing.

I realize that this program is no panacea; it addressed only a part of Maine's heating problem, But if the savings allowed by the program proved substantial, it would also give needed J;elief to 1\·Iaine consumers reeling under the burden of huge home heat­ing costs. AID TO CAXCER PATffiNTS

This 11 cek I cosponsored a bill that would provide total reim­bursement of physicians' fees to people receivi~g radiation or chemotherapy treatment for cancer on an outpatient basis.

The bill would plug a loophole in the Social Security Act, which presently meets the cost of cancer care and chemothera­py for hospitalized patients, but not for those treated as out­patients,

The loophole ls both expensive and cruel, since it g ives ca,n­cer patients a flnancial incentive to request hospitalization, even if it is not required. It also worsens hospital over9rowding and takes cancer patients ~way from their families at a time when they need their support.

I am hopeful of qtiick action on this blll, which I regard" as both an economy and a humanitarian measure.

Lord, see this bill! It frightens me. You know its secrets, you know it~;~ history. How heavy it is! · It scares me, for it cannot speak. It will never tell all it hides in its creases. It will never reveal all the struggles and efforts it represents,

all the disillusionment and slighted dignity. It is stained with sweat and blood, It is laden with all the weight of human toil which makes its

worth.

It is heavy, heavy, Lord. It fills me with awe, ~t frightens me . For it has death on its consciBnce •• • All the poor fellows who killed themselves for it, To poss~ss it for a few hours, To have through it a little pleasure , a little joy, a little life.

Through how many hands has it passed, Lord? And what has it done in the cous se of its long silent journeys ?

It has offered white roses to the radiant fiancee. It has paid for the baptismal party, and fed the rosy-cheeked

baby. It has provided bread for the family table. Because of it there was laughing among the young and joy among

the elders. It nas paid for the saving visit of the doctor, It has bought the book that taught the youngster, It has clothed the young girl.

But it has sent the letter breaking the engagement, It has paid for the death of the baby in its mother's womb , It has bought the liquor that made the drunkard, It has produced the movie unflt for children, And has recorded the indecent song. It has broken the morals of the adolescent and made of the adult

a thief. It has bought for a few hours the body of a woman. It has paid for the weapons of the crime and for the wood of

the coffin.

0 Lord, I offer you this bill with its joyous and sorrowful mysteries.

I thank you for all the joy it has given •. I ask your forgiveness for the harm it has done. But above all, Lord , I offer it to you as a symbol of all the

labors of men, indestructible money, which tomorrow will be changed into your eternal life.

CAMPFIRE CAUTIONS-- MAINE LUNG ASSOCIATION Camping can be great fun. But watch outfor hidden hazards. Everybody knows about the danger of flre and poisoned in­

sect bites. But not many people have ever heard about the damaging effects of beryllium dust. Exposure to fumes and dust from a metal called beryllium can cause damage to the lungs. The fumes can come from the mantles 0f some--not all--gas lanterns used in camping, says Kyle Griggs of the University 'of California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory;

The mantle in gas lanterns is a device , consisting of a sheath of threads, which gives off brilliant light when heated by the gas flame. When a new mantle is used, beryllium fumes can be released !n the first few minutes. The mantle is usually lit in a confined space--like a tent--and the camper leans directly over the lamp, breathing the fumes deep into his or her lungs.

Lighting ahy gas lamp--the first time it's used--in an open area and letting it burn ten or fifteen minutes in the open can · reduce the hazard to the lungs. Taking care not to blow on the lantern to clean it, a process that stirs up the beryllium dust, is important.

Many products containing beryllium are not so labeled, and consumers are not aware that precautions are necessary to protect their health. Some brands of gas lanterns contain the metal but do not list it. Workers involved in making these products face the greatest danger. Beryllium is used mainly in the aerospace, nuclear, computer, and ceramics industries.

Inhaling v.ery small amounts of beryllium dust or fumes can cause severe, irreversible lung disease after ,such a short period as six months. Take care with gas lanterns. It's a matter of life and breath.

Loyalty Oath for Teachers?

.May a public school teacher be requi•·ed to take a loyalty oath?··· .Yes, provided that the oath stays within constitutional bounds.

Conside•· the case of a high school teacher who balked at swearing to uphold the state and federal constit utions.

"I just don't like the whole idea of loyalty oaths," she explained in a court hearing. "They are an infringement upon my f•·cedom of conscience."

But the judge said this kind of an oath was nothing more than is expected of most public officials, up to and incit'Ml>n!)..t!t,e_ P~iq,~ He quoted the following comment from the United States Supreme Court:

;'Obviously the framers of the Constitution thought that an af­firmation of minimum loyalty to the government was worth the price of whatever deprivation of individual freedom of conscience was involved.''

Nevertheless, some oaths have been thrown out by the courts for going too far.

Another case involved a decla­ration that the teacher had never lent "aid, support, or advice" to the Communist Party. Wouldn't this apply, a court wondered, to everyone who had ever supported anv cause that the Communist Pa.rty had also happened to sup~ pOl't?

The court concluded that .it was unconstitutional to require an oath Hin terms so vague Lhitt men of common intelligence must guess at its meaning."

Also rejected was a requi rement / that teachers submit an annual list of every organization to which they had either belonged or con­tributed during the previous five years.

The court felt that such a re­quirement intruded upon the teacher's right of free association. The comt said there were all sorts of outside relationships that "could have no possible bearing upon the teacher's occupational fitness."

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR VACATION HOME FROM FIRE.

Everyone dreams of building a home aviay from home. But if your vacation home is in or near a farest you have to be extra careful wi th fire. So here are just a few· simple rules w remember.·

WATCH OUT FOR TREES. Always be sure to remove any part of tree that comes within !0 fee t of the opening of a chimney or srowpipe. And be sure that any tree near or overhanging your h~1me is cleare(,l of dead or dying wood.

LOOK OUT FOR WIRES. The wires carrying the electricity to your home can cause a fire if not properly maintained. So be sure to call your local power company if

there are wires rubbing against tree branches or the roof of your home.':

SCREEN YOUR CHIMNEY. It wouldn't be a vacation without a roaring fire in the fireplace:· But sparks from your chimney can wander into nearby·brush if thev're not con­trolled. So always attach a non-flammable screen to the top of your chimney or stovepipe. And be sure the openings in rhe screen are no more than \1 inch in size.

CUT BACK THE BRUSH. Dry grass, brush. weeds <mel branches lying around your home are dangerous. So pick the dry branches. And cur back the drv weeds and brush. So in case a fire does start n~ar your home, you' ll have a ready; made fire break.

Please. Follow these simple rules rhe next time you visi t your vacation home. So you'll have a forest and home to visit again next year.
