Hay fever season begins Friday, and sufferers will run to the nearest drug counter for weapons to battle runny noses, itchy eyes and sneezing. But hay fever is much more than that, Dr. Leonard Girsh, an allergy specialist at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, said Tuesday. Simple nasal congestion, often diagnosed as a sinus infection, an upset stomach, recurring headaches and dry, itchy skin are all signs of an allergic reaction to pollen, Girsh said. "The person who gets winter colds but passes through hay fever season without a sniffle could well have hay fever," he noted.

Girsh'added that about 4,000 people die annually from complications of asthma, a condition many hay fever sufferers are susceptible to. But hay fever also can lead to deafness in children and sinus damage. The allergy, however, carries a plus. Recent studies show the hay fever sufferer is five times more resistant to cancer than people without allergies. 643-6182 HUNTINGDON PLAZA ROUTE 22 HUNTINGDON FREE PARKING LAST 2 NITES 7:30 9:18 Bargain Hour Adults 8:00 Appliance Repair Vo-Tech Hires New Instructor The Joint Operating Committee of the Huntingdon County Area Vocational Technical School in Mill Creek voter) lasf night to hire Ronald C.

Worden of Mount Union as an appliance repair instructor. Worden will replace K. Smith, who announced his resignation in a letter to the Joint Operating Committee dated June 10, Smith said in that letter that his decision to resign was based on "economic reasons." Smith indicated his willingness to serve on the Appliance Repair Craft Advisory Committee, and his availability as a substitute. Worden, a graduate of the Allegheny Technical Institute of Pittsburgh, a two-year post- secondary technical school, has for Ihe past three years been employed with Warren's TV and Appliance Repair in Mount Union, according to Robert W. Rowland, vo-lech school director.

Worden has a strong background in the field of appliance repair, and his knowledge of electronics can be seen as a plus, Rowland said. His one area of weakness is seen to be in refrigeration repair, and Worden has agreed to learn more about this area. Worden also has worked with young people in minor league baseball and arts and crafts programs. Worden must also pass the Trade Competency Exam, to be offered at Penn State in October. The JOC decided lo hire Worden at a starting salary of $11.050, subject to his passing of the exam.

Glenn Cornelius voted against this motion, saying that the salary was too high for someone with no teaching experience. Other JOC members argued that Wordcn's technical training and professional experience justified the salary, which was determined by a standard formula of work experience. Bids And Contracts Several bids and contracts were discussed and acted upon last evening. A Johnson Controls of Harrisburg service contract will be renewed. This company balanced the thermostat system of the building.

When this service was tirst done last year in the three-year-old building, in many areas of the building the thermostats were found to be off balance. Stanley Wensel, JOC member, observed that they "ought to have a follow-up" to determine how far the system has changed since the initial examination. All JOC members voted in favor of renewing the contract. Tuscarora Intermediate Unit No. 11 contracts for the film library service for the computer services and tor audio-visual equipment repair ($13) were all renewed following discussion.

It was noted that the film library service offered by the TIU unit is a very comprehensive service, and that the vo-tech faculty uses it extensively. Application of an ARC grant toward instructional aids and a school bus was tabled until the September 9 meeting. By that time, bids will have been sought on both mini-buses and vans, in addition to the bids on buses already sought. The JOC is seeking the best application of the grant monies between the instructional supplies and the vehicle. A bid was accepted from the Griffith Fuel Company for No.

2 fuel oil for the coming school year at $0.97 per gallon. Rowland said that the school has a 10,000 fuel tank, with a yearly consumption of about 40,000 gallons, and that the tank is now nearly full. It was decided, following a 30-minute executive session, to give the superintendent of records for the vo-tech school a salary of $1,200, rather than expense money ot $1,000. The JOC first rescinded a motion approved at the June 12 meeting to keep expense money of the superintendent of records at $1,000. At that meeting, following the vote HUNTINGDON DRIVE-IN 24 Hour Phone Service i PHONE 643-0790 NOW SHOWING i THRU SUNDAY A0ULTS ONLY 'California Gigelo'i ALSO Country Doctor' that maintained this expense allowance, (he JOC had decided to take the matter up again at last night's meeting; therefore, the rescinding of the first vote was necessary.

The member Sandra Daum moved that, in place of the expense allowance, $1,200 be listed as salary and not as expense, and that it be added to the superintendent of record's regular salary. This motion passed with all in favor. The current superintendent of records is John O. Yetter, superintendent of the Southern Huntingdon County School District. The superintendents of the four schools participating in the vo- tech Southern Huntingdon County, Juniata Valley, Huntingdon Area, and Mount Union Area hold the position of superintendent of records for the vo-tech school on a yearly rotating basis.

Present at last night's meeting were Gary Kcim, mobile unit evaluator. and his father, William Keim, superintendent of the Huntingdon Area School District. It had been decided at the June Meeting of the JOC that Gary Keim be laid off this summer, to be rehired next fall, with salary to be prorated. For the school year 1979-80. Gary Keim was to receive $8,918.

The JOC decided that there is a lack of work for the mobile unit evaluator over the summer, and plan to re-evaluate the position and put the salary on a 180-day basis, rather than on a 12-month basis. Gary Keim and his father were present to protest this decision. William Keim, speaking for his son, asked the JOC what effect the groups decision would have on the unemployment situation for his son. Sandra Daum said that the matter of unemployment is a decision made by the government and not by the JOC, and that they could not say what the effect would be. Two motions were then approved by the JOC.

First, Herbert Hann moved that the JOC fulfill their salary obligation to Gary Keim for the 1979-80 school year, and then Sandra Daum moved that they evaluate the mobile unit evaluator's position and the way that the mobile unit is run in time for action to be taken at the September meeting. Both of these motions passed with all in favor. The new terms of the position and the salary to be offered will then be announced at the September meeting. Sex Equity A compliance resolution regarding non-discrimination was adopted by the JOC. The resolution is as follows: "Be it, and it is, hereby resolved by the Operating Commutes of the Huntingdon County Area Vocational Technical School that it is, and shall continue to be, the policy of said school not to discriminate, in any action or decision, against any person on the basis of sex, race, religion, place of origin, color, or by reason of any personal, physical, or mental handicap." The resolution goes on to say that it shall be Ihe policy of the school to abide by (he- provision of Title IX 'of the Education Amendments of 1972, by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of and by the Education of Ihe Handicapped Child as amended by (he Education of all Handicapped Children Act of 197.

i. A Leadership Education Advancement and Development (LEAD) inscTvice workshop will be held Aug. 29 at the vo-tech school. The purpose of this workshop is to acquaint teachers with the rules of leadership, as club activities and organizations are such a major part of the vo-tcch curriculum. It was decided by the JOC to purchase handbooks on leadership, at a cost of $437.

All students and faculty will then be able to have access to the manuals. Other Business The final review of the two- year health program was made last week by Mr. Black and Mrs. Myers. All facilities for the program are ready except for the plumbing in the darkroom, which will be taken care of by the plumbing class of the vo-tech school in September.

Rowland reported on the Summer Vocational Education Conference, attended by himself and George Hawkins, JOC member. He said that the many discussion sessions on sex equity in vocational education and limited skill training were very helpful. It was decided that the state police will be issued a key to the gates of the driveway of the school so they may ciricle the building without driving on the grass. The police routinely patrol the area. A thank-you note from Sarah Smith, Outstanding Senior award winner in the Health Assistant program, was read to those present by Rowland.

Rowland also said that the building and grounds are in excellent shape, and ready for the beginning of the new school year. The lights in front of the building, which no longer work, are to be replaced, and many of the doors have been reinforced with additional bar stock, due to the attempted break-in early this summer. Rowland observed that, as each of the shop areas are locked separately, anyone gaining access to the building would still not have access to all the shop areas. The vo-tech school will open, for students, on September 3. Attending last night's meeting were JOC members Samuel Rishel, Herbert Hann, Dossie Smith, Glenn Cornelius, Sandra Daum, Stanley Wensel, and president Clyde Leighty.

JOC member George Hawkins was not present. Also present were superintendent of records John 0. Yetter, Gary and William Keim, recording secretary A. Ruth Cox, solicitor Warren Yocum, and Frederick Bayer. The office of Dr.

Under Very Stiff Penalties Under the final rules, Kf'A can levy a penalty equal to the avoided cost of installing pollution control when sources fail to comply with the federal agency's rules. Penalties for the years 1981 to 1983 reportedly could total $180.9 million for the nation's utilities and $164.8 million for the nation's iron and steel industry. State utilities which could be hit with noncompliance penalties are Duquesne Light, Pennsylvania Power, Pennsylvania Power and Light, Philadelphia Klectric, and West Penn Power. Among the steel mills which could be hit by noncompliance are 1J.

S. Steel, Jones and Laughlin and Wheeling Pittsburgh. In his letter to Costle, Jones noted, "The penalties prescribed in this regulation come at a time when the nation's industries are already suffering from the financial burdens spawned by the current period of recessions. In industrial states like Pennsylvania these burdens are particularly onerous. Furthermore, regulatory actions such as this can severely damage our efforts to forge links to industry and build support for a strong national Clean Ait- program." He continued.

"When Li. Gov, Scranton and I met with you and your staff last November, we expressed out- concern over the potential effect of the proposed Section 120 penalties on Pennsylvania utilities and industries which had entered into long term compliance programs. Amendments Proposed "At that time, a Section 120 regulatory approach was suggested which would have minimized the financial impact on industries and utilities actively working toward compliance, and also provided economic dis incentives both for failing to enter into compliance programs and for dilatory action during the compliance program," The Pennsylvanians had suggested five tactics for implementing the Section 120 provisions: 1) assessing the penalties where applicable; 2) imposing the penalties at a rate of approximately percent per month of the total penalty until the company enters into a binding agreement to control; 3) reduce the penalty payment by 70 or 80 percent during the control effort; 4) increase the percentage of the penalty collected if deadlines are not met during the compliance effort; 5) forgive the residual penally when compliance is achieved. The two men had suggested these alterations be introduced as amendments to the Clean Air Act, to be adopted prior to the publication of the final rule for gaining compliance. They pointed out "the Congressional intent was to promote compliance and to companies that are not in compliance." Intent Maintained In support of their amendments they slated "Penalties proposed under this system could he assessed and collected on a quarterly basis as provided for in the Clean Air Act Amendments.

A system of this type retains the philosophical approach favored by Congress. It provides a disincentive for dilatory negotiations, it for failing to meet deadlines, and it rewards for speedy effective control "Companies that are already into control programs would avoid the heavier front end penalties, would be confronted with the more nominal penalties during their efforts to meet their compliance schedules and would be forgiven a more significant portion of the penalty for earlier compliance." Apparently the reasonableness of these suggestions carried no weight with KPA bureaucrats, even though they had been alerted to the fact that stiffer penalties might push businesses operating now- on marginal returns" a position of bankruptcy. "I fear that your failure to incorporate any of our suggestions to the final rule making may create significant difficulties for utilities and industries in Pennsylvania and across the country," Jones wrote in his Aug. 5letter. He assured Costle also that members of the Pennsylvania Congressional delegation would be receiving copies of the letter.
