Mother Says Life Important to Her in Coma MORRISTOWN, N.J. (UPI) Karen Ann Quinlan loved life, but would not approve of the artificial means now keeping her alive, her mother says.

"Life was important to her and the way she could live it was important to her," Mrs. Julia Quinlan said of Karen, 21, who has been in a coma since April 14, when she mixed drugs and alcohol during a birthday party for a friend. Mrs. Quinlan, generally composed during her testimony before Morris County Judge Robert Muir, said Karen told her, "Please mommy, don't let them keep me alive like that." The Quinlan family completed its testimony Wednesday in an emotional trial on a request to disconnect a respirator that has kept Karen breathing since April. Mrs.

Quinlan and her husband, Joseph, said Karen should be allowed to "die with grace and dignity." Doctors have testified there is virtually no chance for her recovery. Attorneys opposing the unprecedented request were to call their witnesses today. Mrs. Quinlan said Karen told her three times that she would not want to be kept alive by an artificial device when one of Karen's friends died, when a family friend died, and when the girl's Aunt Evelyn died. "Karen would not refuse medical care, but if she had to be kept alive by extraordinary means, she would not want that," Mrs.

Quinlan said. fAdvor literati!) LOSE UGLY FAT OR PAY NOTHING a losing weight today OR MONEY BACK. MONAOEX is a tiny tablet that will help curb your desire lor excess food. Eat less-weigh lets. Contains no dangerous drugs will not make you nervous.

Sat. 9-9 Friday 30? Market Street Kittanning Flood prevention dams in Pennsylvania prevented about three million dollars in damages during Storm Eloise, reports Benny Martin, State Conservationist, USDA, Soil Conservation Service. Sixty flood prevention dams have been built state-wide by the Soil Conservation Service under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. Thirtyfour dams in ten watersheds were storing flood waters in the designated flood disaster counties of central and eastern Pennsylvania. The towns of Wellsboro, Westfield, Berwick, and Tamaqua reported significant reduction in flood damage due io flood prevention dams reducing flows through these towns.

Flood prevention dams on three watersheds in Tioga County prevented an estimated two million dollars in damages. Wellsboro escaped a million dollars in damages from Marsh Creek which is controlled with three flood prevention dams. Westfield damages along Mill Creek were reduced about $900,000 by three flood prevention dams. Properties along the North Fork of the Cowanesque River received an estimated 5100,000 in benefits. Flood damage reduction in the Little Schuylkill Creek Watershed was computed at $700,000, mainly at the Borough of Tamaqua.

Oct. 23, 1975 Coast Guard Discontinues Hunt for Boat PITTSBURGH UPD The Coast Guard today called off a search for a 21-foot cabin cruiser missing since Sunday on the Ohio River with two men and a woman board.

A Coast Guard spokesman said "we now believe the boat was run down Sunday night by a barge under tow." The spokesman said it was not unusual that crewmen aboard a towboat would hear or feel nothing if a barge struck a small craft at night. The Coast Guard said it found debris near the Emsworth Dam which was identified tentatively as equipment from the missing cruiser. The boat disappeared Sunday. At i two men were reported aboard the missing craft. But the Coast Guard said it learned an Avalon school teacher was on the boat with the two men.

Those aboard were Edward Koch, 32, of Upper St. Clair, Samuel Sciullo, of Wilkinsburg, and Anne L. Areford, 32, of Avalon, according to the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard said it was confused because Koch's wife, who reported her husband and Sciullo missing last Monday, did not mention that Miss Areford was aboard. Items believed recovered from the missing boat were an orange boat seat, a fire extinguisher, an ice chest and several life jackets.

The Coast Guard theorized the boat may have collided with a commercial tow barge and been demolished. Freepor!

The 12-volume running to three million words, occupied him for nearly 40 years. It was published by installments between 1934 and 1961. His main thesis was that the progress of a civilization was in direct ratio to the difficulties presented by its environment. Only by an adequate response to natural challenge could a civilization to survive. An official abridgement of the first six volumes, issued in 1947, became a best seller.

He taught ancient history at Oxford and in 1925 became Director of Studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs and Research Professor of International history at London University until his retirement in 1955. Toynbee married Roaslind Murray, daughter of Prof. Gilbert Murray, in 1913. The marriage was dissolved in 1946 and he married Veronica Boulter.
