Reed, Roberts Associates who are consultants, will be employed for one year to determine the best method of coverage for the I.U. They will also file and audit claims, conduct summmer workshops on the new law to provide expertise to local districts, and protect the I.U. from legal loopholes. The board also approved im- plementation of a Teacher Corps Project after Wilson reported that unofficial approval for the federally funded project had been received.

County jobless rate down, officials told EDDYSTONE Unemployment in Delaware County has shown a sharp decline over the past two months according to a report given Thursday at an informal meeting of "Operation Jobs" at the United Aerospace Workers (UAW) Local 1069 headquarters here. Al O'Donnell, director of the state unemployment bureau in Chester, told the diversified group of state government leaders and members of labor and industry and community leaders, that unemployment claims at his office dropped from 9,000 the week ending March 18 to 6,880 on May 26. In that same period new weekly unemployment claims dropped from 1,042 to 451. "We are at a 45 per cent level of what it was this past winter," O'Donnell said. THE COUNTY unemployment rate stands at 6.6 per according to recently released federal government figures.

"The most interesting part of this is that we are not finding large groups who are going to work in Delaware County," O'DpnneU observed. "They are finding work outside the county." O'Donnell said there is no significant increase of people going into Philadelphia to work, but there has been an increase of those going to the Valley Forge area, Delaware and the West Chester-Downingtown area. Richard Erdmann, executive director of The Chester Group, said that although his has been primarlily concerned with the city of Chester, it has identified a project that would help the county as a whole. "AND THAT is the Blue Route," Erdmann said, adding that the group has been actively lobbying for construction of the Midcounty Expressway. "That project will generate 73,000 jobs in Delaware County and Montgomery County alone during the construction Erdmann said.

Emphasizing that a grass routes movement is needed, Erdmann said the Blue Route Alliance has been formed to "go out and trumpet the Blue Route." "The road will not happen without the support of the people," he said, adding that it's time for the people who want the Blue Route to stand up and be counted. STATE REP. Peter J. O'Keefe (D-161st District) said the Delaware County delegation in the state legislature supports the Blue Route and state Sen. Clarence D.

Bell (R-9th District), moderator of the meeting, said both he and his Democratic colleague, Sen. John Sweeney (26th District) favor the highway's construction. Christopher VandeVelde, executive director of the Chester Development office, told those seated at the long table in the UAW meeting room, that the planned mail on Chester's Avenue of States will not turn that city's economic problems around. "It will take a great deal of 'effort on the part of everyone including merchants," VandeVelde said. He stressed that expansion and retention of existing businesses is essential to the city.

will try as hard as we can to attract new industries, but we must retain the we have," VandeVelde said. BELL remarked that the energy shift back to coal could benefit the county because of its Delaware River front industrial development. "When coal was king this river was the heart of industry." Bell said. "We had employment. here during the Great Depression when there was no employment anywhere else in the north." The senator also said that he would like to see federal Gets degree Diane Ruth Miller, daughter of Mr.

He said the planned Volkswagen plant in New Stanton was almost scuttled by federal environmental regulations.

DAW'S William Carney, -'a Boeing Vertol employe, said an upcoming Navy helicopter contract may be "the savior of Boeing Vertol." "We are still a defense plant and we need that contract," Carney said. "Our commercial venture (the manufacturer of rail cars) is not doing too well now." John Briscoe, district administrator for U.S. Rep. Robert Edgar's Chester and Upper Darby offices, said the congressman is that Delaware County will receive $3 to 4 million under a public works program. Word is expected next week on the funding.
