The Lehigh Valley area has been without commercial television for more than 20 years. "We are the largest area in the country still without a local station," Hinson said. "And we are not trying to compete, per se, with Channel 39.

They've done a beautiful job and we're going to complement each other." Radio station WFMZ on East Rock Road was expanded to accommodate television facilities. A 910-foot antenna, cables and a transmitter have been installed at the Salisbury Township studios. Hinson said the station also has purchased two electronic portable mini cameras for on-scene coverage. Richard C. Dean is the station's president and general manager.

Cable companies operating in 67 communities within a 35-mile radius of the station's transmitter are expected to carry Channel 69, as directed by the Federal Communications Commission.

They all have been notified and are determining where they will locate Channel 69 on their dials, Hinson said. A public announcement listing those toons, Westerns, country music programs and a local two-way talk show, "The Talk of the Town," on Saturday nights. Hinson expects the station to be carrying play-by-play telecasts of NHL hockey by January.

Editor The Lehigh Valley's newest television station, WFMZ-TV, will begin its independent broadcast venture at 8 p.m.

Thanksgiving Day. Following that night's locally produced show introducing the station and its personnel, Channel 69 will telecast seven days a week from noon to 1 a.m. Ninety-five per cent of the productions will be in color. Program director David Hinson said the accent would be on family entertainment, counter-programed to offer alternatives to network and affiliate shows aired at the same time. At the outset, weekday programing will rely heavily on syndicated situation comedies, talk shows and children's entertainment.

There are no simple solutions which may be applied universally, and each case must be handled individually, said Dr. Lawrence P. Levitt, chief of neurology at the Allentown and Sacred Heart Hospital Center. Dr.

Levitt was one of five panelists in the daylong session, "Coma and the Dying Patient," held at ASH and attended by more than 200 persons in legal, theological and health-related fields. Atty. Mark H. Scoblianko of Allentown agreed with Dr. Levitt's view about who should make the medical decisions.

In considering the Karen Quinlan case, Scoblianko said that when the physician and the patient's family agree, and medical decision is sound, the doctor may be comfortable, legally, in deciding whether or not to continue life support. A theologian and a psychologist discussed the moral and emotional questions of the patient who is aware of impending death. A failure to deal with the patient's situation out of fear is common among those involved with the dying patient, said the Rt. Rev. Msgr.

James J. Mulligan, vice rector of Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Emmittsberg, Md. He said he has found the primary need of the ill and dying patient is to receive meaning about the experience. Patients often want to talk about their own death and need someone to listen and help them accept it, agreed Dr.

Michael R. Peterson, a physician and professor of psychology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary and associated with the Washington, D.C., Theological Coalition, Loyola College in Baltimore and Georgetown Medical School. He stressed the importance of recognizing reactions of anger and hostility toward the patient by medical attendants. Dr.

Peterson named five states dying patients may go through: shock and denial of their condition; rage and anger at the living; a stage of bargaining to prolong life; depression when help is needed in expressing grief and anger, and. finally, acceptance of the present, not the longing for the past or future. The fifth speaker, Dr. Jerome Posner, professor and head of neurology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, discussed prevention of irreversible brain damage In patients brought to a hospital unconscious. Alcohol education aim of Jaycees Operation Threshold, a nationwide drinking education program, designed by the U.S.

Jaycees, has been initiated by the Bethlehem Jaycees chapter. "This is not a campaign to get people to stop drinking. We will attempt to dispel many of the misconceptions concerning the use of alcohol," project chairman David Hill said. Hill said the aim is to reduce alcohol abuse. A poster contest, with "Teen-age Alcoholism" as the theme, is part of the three-month program.

A total of $350 in savings bonds will be awarded to winners. First Valley Bank. Unionbank Trust the Greater Bethlehem Savings and Loan Association, and the First National Bank of Allentown are financial supporters of the program.
