Neptune (Con't from Page 1) a "Welcome Home The Troops' 1 Rally at the fire hall. Tim James, carnival chairman, said the parade will form at the southern end of Park Avenue and move north to the fire hall. The firefighters are requesting persons living on Park Avenue to keep the avenue free of vehicles Saturday until after the parade forms. Room will be needed for parade formation which includes floats and numerous pieces of fire and emergency equipment from Tyrone and neighboring communities.

The annual carnival is the prime source for the Neptune Fire Company to raise money to meet operating expenses and maintain its fire equipment. Turkish (Con't from Page 1) "We don't want them, just as other Western nations don't want them," said a senior Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Money is one reason. In 1988, Turkey took in 60,000 Kurds who fled chemical weapons attacks by Iraqi troops. About 27,000 refugees remain, at a cost to Turkey of about $16 million so far, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Murat Sungar.

This time, hundreds of thousands of cold and hungry refugees began massing on Turkey's border starting in April, and many pushed their way into Turkey, braving rifle fire from soldiers under orders to keep them out. As international pressure mounted, Turkey allowed thousands down from the snowcapped mountains and into camps with water, electricity and medical supplies inside the country. Sungar says Turkey is spending $1 million a day on the refugees. But the country is already grappling with the problem of its own Kurds, who make up about 20 percent of Turkey's 55 million people and mostly live near the borders with Syria, Iraq and Iran. Less than three weeks ago, Parliament approved a bill allowing limited use of the Kurdish language, lifting a ban imposed when the military held power in 1983 and sought to quash any threats to national unity.

The military's action could not extingish dreams for a Kurdish homeland. Since 1984 the government has been fighting a war with separatists seeking to set up a Marxist state in the southeast. About 3,000 civilians, soldiers and guerrillas have been killed. The idea of refugee camps within Turkey becoming breeding grounds for Kurdish separatist fighters is looked on with alarm.

22, Alexandria Phone 669-4575 Attorney General Looks At Senate WASHINGTON (AP) Attorney General Dick Thomburgh met with two leading Republican senators about the possibility of seeking the Pennsylvania Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. John Heinz, GOP sources said. The attorney general, who has studiously avoided any public comment about whether he has any plans to seek the seat, met last week with Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole, R- Kansas, and Sen. Phil Gramm, R- Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, sources said Monday. Wendy Burnley, a spokeswoman for the committee, declined to comment on the meeting, except to confirm that Thomburgh and Gramm had discussed the issue of politics in The meeting early last week in Dole's office was set up at the request of Gramm, who is in charge of recruiting GOP candidates for the Senate, sources said.

Gramm and Dole were "basically telling the attorney general if he ran he would get their support," said one GOP source, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity. The source said that Thomburgh is "thinking a little, but not a lot" about the possibility of running. He has not spoken with Pennsylvania Republicans but an aide at the Justice Department has fielded several calls from GOP leaders in Thomburgh's home state, the source said. Republicans in Pennsylvania are believed to be anxious for Thomburgh, a former two-term governor of the state, to run this fall in a special election to complete Heinz's unexpired term. A proven vote-getter, Thomburgh is regarded as having the best chance to win in November.

Legislature (Con't from Page 1) The committee was put together to iron out differences between the House and Senate on the bill. Belfanti said he hoped the compromise report would go before the House on Tuesday. He said Senate leaders indicated they probably will consider the proposal Tuesday. Both chambers are off next week and the Senate does not meet Wednesday. The bill stems from a January announcement by Gov.

Robert P. Casey to close four state hospitals and a state- owned school to help resolve a state budget crisis. Pennsylvania faces a deficit of up to $900 million June 30. Targeted under Casey's plan are the Scotland School for Veterans' Children in Franklin County and the state hospitals, Philipsburg in Centre County, Ashland and Coaldale in Schuylkill County and Shamokin in Northumberland County. Since then, Philipsburg has closed.

Because the compromise is not retroactive, it would have no effect on Philipsburg. Casey has threatened to veto the measure. BUGS AT MONTREAL 3 BIG GAMES!

White House aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the records will show that reimbursements made by the chief of staff were at commercial air fare rates, as regulations provide. Critics of the policy claim commercial air fares would cover only a fraction of the cost of flying on a C-20 business jet. The Air Force lists the C-20's hourly operating rate at $3,945, not counting the salaries of the five- member crew. The effort to gather the records together may have hit one snag. In promising to make public both Sununu's and Scowcroft's travel records, Fitzwater may have promised more than he can deliver.

Among Scowcroft's travels are a recent trip to the Middle East shrouded in mystery. The administration has only confirmed that the national security adviser went to Saudi Arabia, although clearly his itinerary included other countries. There have even been suggestions that Scowcroft may have gone to Iran or Syria. "Well, we might have trouble with that secret trip," Fitzwater said. "I don't know how well we'll handle that.

We'll have to check that out." At least (Con't from Page 1) Chiriqui province, according to other reports. Panamanian President Guillermo Endara said he was sending a survey team to the two western provinces to assess the damage and would meet with Cabinet members today to decide what to do to help. In San Jose, the quake caused extensive damage, knocking out power for about four hours and parts of the telephone system. Traffic was snarled for hours when traffic lights went out. San Jose residents fled out into the streets for safety when the 15-second quake rolled through the capital, but there were no reports of deaths.

The National Theater, the Culture Building and a three-story folk art museum were all severely damaged. The Associated Press Bureau on the ground floor of a building was left in a shambles by the quakes. Books and telephones were thrown off desks and shelves, and light fixtures crashed down from the ceiling. The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude.

Quakes over 7 can cause widespread heavy damage. The Oct. 17,1989 earthquake in San Francisco measured 7.1 on the Richter scale. ENGAGEMENT M. Vamer of 901N.

The reception will be held at the Lakemont Casino. Discovery (Con't from Page 1) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has not launched two shuttles in the same month since January 1986. The second ship to go up that month was Challenger, which exploded 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven people aboard. Discovery was supposed to carry up more than $260 million worth of Pentagon instruments in early March. The flight was delayed so workers could replace cracked hinge mechanisms on two fuel inlet doors.

Most of the eight-day, round-the- clock mission, commanded by Michael Coats, was to be devoted to research for the Strategic Defense Initiative, known as "Star Wars." Officials of the SDI program want ground- and space-based defenses in place by the year 2000 to protect against ballistic missile strikes. The crew, in addition to Coats, consisted of L. Blaine Hammond Guion Bluford Gregory Harbaugh, Richard Hieb, Donald McMonagle and Charles Lacy Veach. A $94 million spacecraft was to be released from the cargo bay on the mission's second day to study the shuttle's exhaust plumes from a distance. It also was to analyze chemicals and gases squirted into space.

Discovery's other primary payload was a collection of scientific instruments. The five instruments were to take infrared, ultraviolet and X-ray measurements of stars, the northern lights, and the atmosphere, SDI scien need this data to devise a missile- detection system in space. From the Pain of Kidney Stones. Tyrone Hospital now offers patients relief from the pain of kidney stones through extracorporeal shock Until recently, surgery brought the only relief from kidney stones. Now many hospitals use a system which involves a water bath.

But today Tyrone Hospital's Lithostar system represents the most advanced lithotripter technology and is the only machine of its type in western Pennsylvania. And there are big advantages to this Just compare: Patients treated by LITHOSTAR experience: NO catherizatlon NO cystoscope procedure NO need for anesthesia NO incision NO scarring NO long hospital stay (1 day) NO long recovery time (2-4 days) Patients treated by Water Bath experience: catherization cystoscope procedure anesthesia no incision no scarring no long hospital stay (1 day) no long recovery time (24 days) Patients undergoing Surgery experience: catherization 1 cystoscope procedure anesthesia incision scarring 5-7 days in hospital 6-8 weeks recovery Lithostar uses focused shock waves directed to the kidney stone. The stone disintegrates and passes naturally through the urinary tract. Working with our physicians and other medical professionals, Tyrone Hospital will be Blair County's sole provider of the Lithostar extracorporeal shock wave. The Lithostar is just one more example of our efforts to bring our friends and neighbors the most innovative, cost-effective services available anywhere!
