The banquet speaker was Jordan "Bud" Biscardo, director of Labor Participation for the United Way of America. Biscardo has served as an instructor in basic community services and leadership courses lor the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Annual Community Services Institute at Penn State University and was a volunteer in numerous community service organizations before assuming the Labor Participation directorship last September.

He said the program gives the workers an opportunity Lo go out and participate in community services programs and offer input and direction to the various social agencies. "We are only as good as our participation, and these people are our key our foundation," Biscardo said.

Glenn E. Tschantz, Richland County labor representative to United Community Service, said there are currently 11 Betts assails Glenn lly Neil Nemeth Unseating a man he calls "a national hero" may not be an easy task, but State Hep. James Betts believes the issues are right lor him to upset incumbent Sen. John Glenn in November. Betts, state representative from Hocky Hiver, is running unopposed In the June 3 Hepubllcan primary for the right to oppose Uenn.

"Any Incumbent has the benefit from six years of public relations, and Mr. Glenn has the additional advantage of being a national hero and having recognition before his political involvement," Betts said. "But John Glenn Is going to be held accountable for his record lor the first time in this election," he added. That record Is one which Betts says is part of the cause of inllation. "John Glenn voted against tax spending cuts by the federal government twice in 1U70 he has also opposed requiring the President to balance the budget, indexing federal Income taxes to inllation and restoring a tax deduction tor gasoline," Betts said.

He said voters have realized that the national standard of living has been declining lor some time, and that the role of the federal government in that decline is just now being understood. "We now know that the standard of living has declined in six ot the past seven years," he said. And now people "have the motivation to think about the people who STATE HEP, JAMES BETTS Ruling made about death The death Saturday of retired Mansfield dermatologist Dr. Robert Peirce has been ruled a suicide.

An au Bin fPS WOJMfU No reductions foreseen in Crestline city 1 have played a part in the decline, and one ol those that has to be held accountable is John Glenn." Betts said President Carter's proposal to balance the federal budget shows "he's beginning to understand and to remember a promise he made a lew years ago." "But Carter's doing all this alter accepting budget delicits of $100 billion he's now reacting to a problem he's exacerbated," said Betts, who tavors a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. Betts blames the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency (El'Ai tor the lark ol progress against the energy crisis. "The Department ol Energy has a budget higher than the profits of all the oil companies and yet we have higher prices and a greater dependence on foreign energy," Betts said. Councilman f'hillip Atinger, chairman of City Council's finance committee, said the city should know how much revenue will be generated from the tax alter the April 15 tiling deadline.

Expected revenues from the tax have been lagging, causing some concern among city officials. About 100,000 was expected to be generated during the six months that the tax was in ellect. As ol Dec. 31. the city had received only $24,1100.

Most persons, however, wait until the April 15 tiling (leadline. Must ot the revenue Iroin the tax increase was used to upgrade the city workers' salaries. A 12-perccnt raise was given last July and a increase in January. A good portion ol the tax increase was set aside to pave streets, which hadn't been done in years because of the city's tight liiuiicial situation. lie could save the taxpayers money by luring fewer people, he said.

City Council Monday approved a $1 ,321 appropriation lor tins year, which is the highest ever.

That ligure is approximately $200,000 more than last year's appropriation. City otiicials say that the city's financial picture has unproved since voters approved a 0 increase in taxes last June. That increase raised the tax rate to 1.5 percent in the city. The tax was increased because most of the residents work in other cities -Manslield, Ontario and Gallon where I hey have to pay a 1 -percent income tax. Residents working outside Uie city receive a I percent credit lor taxes they pay elsewhere.

tie said the El'A has taken "punitive" action against Ohio over the use of high-sulfur coal. "We should expand the number of dollars for the use of coal because it's the best single fossil luel available that we control," Betts said. He's not as enthusiastic about the role ol nuclear energy in the country's energy luture, but favors its usage "unless it can be tound to have a proven detrimental ellect on human lile." And as tor beating John Glenn, he remains confident. i ve talked to coal miners and steel workers and they're all concerned about losing their jobs, inflation and governmental regulations. "And as the lederal government's role in Inllation and the other problems becomes better understood, one ol the persons that is going to be held accountable is John Glenn." services Atinger said the city is waiting to see how much tax revenue comes in before deciding on what should be done about street paving this year.

The city also collects a $5 license-plate lee for street work. With the state changing to selling license plates year-around, it's unknown when the city will get the revenue, Atzinger said. There is concern among city officials about what impact a recession would have on city income taxes. A number of city residents work at the Fisher Body plant in Ontario and the PPG plant, which both have had a number ol layoffs in recent months. However, Atinger said he believes the city will be able to olior uninterrupted services as no city worker layolls are contemplated this year.

Atzinger said, however, that there probably won't be an expansion ot city services in the near luture. loyalty and pledged, "I'll never apologize (or hiring a Democrat because 1 11 never hire one."
