Nina Spencer, Mapleton. Survey (Cont'dfrom Pagel) vey will be asked to rank programs and problems and identify generally the locations of the problem areas. Space is provided on the survey form for additional comments about community mental health needs. The results of the survey will be used by the MH-MR staff to plan new programs, Darlene Wolfe indicated. They will help the administration specify target groups needing services, and will also help improve the allocation of resources among the existing mental health professional community.

The mail survey follows close on the heels of the first phase an analysis of demographic data from the three-county region which can help target areas of high risk or critical need of mental health services. The intent of the analysis is to make information and educational services available in areas of risk before crisis situations arrive, thereby reducing costs of expensive treatment. The entire thrust of the program is based on the old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For this reason, it is important that the MH-MR staffers get a good return on the survey forms, It's the only way to insure valid data, Miss Wolfe commented. Self-addressed envelopes have been included with the mailing for the return of the questionnaires to MH-MRoffices. Along with the surveys, the consultation of education staff is interviewing selected personnel concerning the mental health needs of their areas.

Results of the survey should be available and will be published within three to four weeks. Miss Wolfe indicated. Anyone not receiving a survey form who is interested in filling out one can telephone Darlene Wolfe at (717) 242-0351.

IT PAINFULLY TELLS FOURTH OF 5ULY OF THE QOOD(?) OLD DAYS 1976 by Umled Fealu'c Syndicale armer inishes Trek In 33 Days PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Raymond Lane feels like "laying in a good bed for a good month." but after rolling a watermelon 800 miles from Statesboro. to Philadelphia, he really can't be blamed.

Lane, a 24-year-old carpenter and farmer, marched into Franklin Field Friday night to complete a 33-day walk desig ned to draw attention to the problems some 2,500 minority farmers in the South face in getting their produce shipped to northern market points. "I saw where such a walk could benefit the farmers, and I thought. 'OK. I'll try if." Lane said at the time he was contacted on the walk by the Rev. Charles Riley.

a West Philadelphia civil rights activist. Lane's journey began May 31 without much fanfare in his hometown of Statesboro when he placed a watermelon inside of a converted lawn mower and started pushing it up U.S. 301. HelatermovedtoU.S. 1.

The trek was not without its share of troubles, and Lane occasionally was forced to push the lawn mower with difficulty on the road shoulder. "Some of the cars came really close." said Lane, who wore a shirt emblazoned "The Great American Watermelon Roller Man" throughout the walk. "Some truckers wanted to blow me a way." As for food. Lane said he subsisted on "a lot of Piggly Wiggly sardines and pork and beans" from a chain of food stores located mainly in the South. But despite heat, foot blisters and a smattering of unfriendly townspeople.

Lane said he never doubted he could finish the trip. "I knew my legs were up to it, carrying a pile of two-by- fours six days a week for the past few years." the carpenter said. "I just made up my mind to do it in a month, and here I am." While the trip was a series of memories, the one recollection that sticks out in Lane's mind had nothing to do with a hero's welcome or a huge banquet in his honor. "Walking in Virginia, I walked past a little house where a woman was standing on a hill wearing just night clothes," he said. "I looked up and she bent over, and she was stark naked." Lane's wife, Joanie, joined the walk in South Carolina and the two shared good times and bad.

Lane said. "Then I realized how hard it was to sell produce down there, and I figured, if somebody didn't do it. nobody will." Rev. Riley said the walk was a great aid in helping minority farmers get their produce shipped north. During the walk, an association of minority farmers and truckers shipped a load of produce to a wholesale market from the South to Philadelphia.

"The cooperation between the farmers and truckers is an outgrowth of this walk," he said. ''And that is blossoming." As for Lane, he can't wait to get back to Statesboro and take a nice long rest.
