THURSDAY "THE SIGN OF CATASTROPHIES" FRIDAY "THE SIGN OF GENTILE HISTORY" Representatives of several Slat-ington organizations are continuing to develop plans for a nonemergency medical transport service. George J. Dorward of the Slatington Ambulance Service said last night that the program would assist the handicapped, blind, elderly and others who are unable to take themselves for medical checkups, clinics or appointments at hospitals. "The service is to pick up where ambulance service is not justified," he explained. "We know the need is here." Dorward said the ambulance service now receives many calls to merely transport people who are not capable for various reasons of getting around on their own.

This often ties up the service's $20,000 ambulance when it might be needed for an emergency. "We are reluctant to say no," Dorward admitted, "but at the same time we are reluctant to say yes." He said preliminary discussions have indicated that a vantype vehicle would be used, so that it is capable of handling wheelchair patients without removing them from the chairs. It would be staffed by nonmedical personnel, thus freeing trained opera-, tors for medical emergencies. The initial talks also have indicated that it would be most feasible to have the nonemergency medical transporter incorporated with and dispatched by the Slatington Ambulance Service. The meeting this week was attended by representatives of the ambulance corps, the American Legion which sponsors it, the Slatington Lions Club, Slatington Ministerial Association and Slatington Senior Citizens.

The next meeting, open to all organizations, is scheduled at 7 p.m. April 28. Since the location has not been decided, those interested in attending are to contact either Joseph Herman at 767-5400 or Dorward at 767-4684.

ship, where the FM stereo radio station is situated. Dean, who will be general manager of the TV station, said he wants it to be a Lehigh Valley station. But he added he does not expect to compete with the area's only other UHF station, WLVT-TV, Channel 39. He said Channel 69 and the educational public television station will provide different services and will, therefore, complement each other. Channel 69 will not be affiliated with any of the three major networks, Dean added.
