The Rev. Lawrence R.

Camberg, coordinator of Armstrong County Community Action program, says his organization was "instrumental in getting the program," having made the original application. What "free legal services" implies he says is aid in divorce, bankruptcy, landlord-tenant, child neglect or similar matters. The "free" aspect of the service applies only to attorney's fees and others. Filing fees or the like will carry School of Law, He was formerly associated with Child Welfare and, prior to applying for the legal service post, was a private attorney. He resides in East Brady RD 1.

As a second attorney, Michael McGinley was chosen to join Kepple in August. His hiring was in line with Community Action's desire to acquire someone from the area. McGinley is a 1966 graduate of Kittanning High School and a 1970 graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. He also graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1973 and is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Thomas McGinley of 696 N. Water Street, Kittanning. The budget of the program in Armstrong County about $50,000 according to Mr. Camberg will be shared by federal, state, and local agencies. Approximately 75 per cent will be federally funded, about 15 per cent provided by the state, and the remaining 10 per cent by Armstrong County Community Action.

Of that toal, Mr. Camberg stated, about $9,000 will be' paid to the Greensburg office for administrative and executive costs. Persons wishing to inquire about a case, Kepple stresses, or even find out if their problem is a legal one, should call the office for an appointment. He also advises that several criteria must be met before a case may be handled. Among those are: --certification by the Department of Welfare that the case is an active one or that the person is entitled to Welfare.

--assistance only to those receiving cash grant benefits from DPW or those on medical assistance. --handling only if the case is a civil matter. Criminal cases must be referred to the Public Defender. --certainly that the case is not a fee- generating one. If the applicant has a case that would generate funds from which an attorney can be paid, it will be turned over to outside counsel.

--inability to pay for an indigent divorce, ones previously handled by the entire Bar on a rotating basis, will be paid by the defendant's husband if he is capable of payment. GEORGE KEPPLE Insect Plays Hob With Hemlock Trees Severe damage to hemlock trees has been found in several areas of Armstrong County, Armstrong County Agricultural Agent William R. King says. Many trees have been completely defoliated by larvae of an insect known as the hemlock looper. The greatest damage to date has been found in areas of Wayne, Redbank, Boggs and Mahoning townships.

"The adult moth" says King "has tan to gray wings, which expand to a little more than one inch. The larvae is grayish-green flecked with black spots. The larvae of 'worm' stage generally appears in July to late September. This is the period in which damage occurs. "In a forested area there is no practical or economical means of control.

Unfortunately, hemlock trees that are completely defoliated are dead. If any use is to be made of the timber of these trees, they should be salvaged now. Secondary insects and diseases will eventually destroy them. Trees only Monday, July 2, at 8 P.M. in the Punxsutawney Jr.

"Homeowners can protect specimen trees or hedges," King continued, "by spraying them with Sevin when the larvae appear later in the summer. "The hemlock looper is sporadic and unpredictable as to when and where it will appear. For the sake of the hemlock tree in Armstrong County, let's hope its stay is very temporary." Selective Fishing a Help In Farm Pond Management Need an excuse to go fishing? Well, when it comes to the many small ponds in Armstrong County, fishing can be one form of management suggests County Agent William R. King. "In the typical bass-bluegin pond," says Kingi "a balance is established between the two fish populations.

Too often, the.balance heavily favors the bluegill in terms of weight and numbers. "Many times there are just too many bluegills for the amunt of space and food available to them," says King. "In such instances, fishing for bluegills to reduce their numbers can be considered to be good pond management. "If you start with fairly good bass and bluegill balance, you can help maintain it with proper angling. Instead of selectively removing only bass, bluegills should also be removed in a certain ration or proportion to the bass.

This is best done on a weight.basis," says King. "As a general rule, six to eight pounds of bluegills should be removed from the pond for each pound of bass. "Keeping track of the weights of the catches from your small pond will require some time and effort but it will pay off in terms of better fishing and larger fish for a longer period of time. "Ponds need management and what better way is there to manage a pond than by going fishing," adds King.
