A- '791m By BOB SALITZA A $650,000 convalescent center which will employ between 30 and 50 area personnel is scheduled to be built by local investors on an 11-acre tract on Laurel Hill terrace. The one-story, colonial-style brick center, described as the most modern in Eastern Pennsylvania, will have space for 110 beds to serve the chronically 111 and aged. Younger adults requiring only short-term convalescent care also may be accommodated, there by releasing space in the two local hospitals for treatment of patients in need of acute, life-saving medical care.

West Hazleton Architect Don Kotzer, architect in charge, said last night the project will be ready for bidding within 30 to fiO days, and that early spring has been set as a target date for completion of construction. The center would open for business shortly therefter. An application seeking a variance to construct the center has been filed with the city zoning "1 1 -i4 i k- On Aug. 28: Above is Architect Don Kotzer's drawing of a Sfwfl.OOO, imbed convalescent center proposed for construction on East Broad street in the city's Laurel Hill Terrace section. When completed in early spring, the facility will employ between 30 and 50 area personnel.

Local investors will own the center, described as the most modern in Eastern Pennsylvania. board of adjustment by Edward J. Collins, nationally known nursing home management consultant. The variance is needed because the proposed site, located on East Broad street near the southeast corner of the city limits, is in an area zoned for residential use. Kotzer stressed that the building is designed to create a homelike appearance to blend with the residential atmosphere of the terrace.

All Area Workers Kotzer said all applicants will be screened, and only qualified area residents will be hired fill positions as registered and practical nurses, as kitchen help pnd as maintenance workers. All ownership, too, will be on a local basis. A meeting of persons who have indicated an interest in investing in the private enterprise is scheduled for 9 p. m. today in Kotzer's offices.

Several physicians reportedly are among that number. The building will be set 300 feet back from the highway along which it will have 900 feet of frontage, and will be surrounded by spacious lawns, landscaping and recreation and parking areas. As shown by the accompanying architectural sketch, the center will have two individual resident areas separated by a central administrative section.

They nnartprs hprp several vears aso as ficials sign an agreement that there would be no slaughter house. This assurance apparently satisfied West Hazleton residents and the uproa. over the plant died down. Gets Registered Letter A few days ago, Dr. Dessen told the directors, he received a letter from packing company officials.

The letter simply stated that the company was "taking other channels" for financing than the help CAN-DO was arranging. "I have since learned," Dr. Dessen said, "that the company has started construction of the building without saying a word to us." CAN-DO, Inc. yesterday disavowed any relationship with the Hazle Park Packing Company which is constructing a meat processing plant at Hazle Park. "We are not responsible for anything the company does at that location," Dr.

Edgar L. Dessen, president, told the board of directors. At the same time, the board voted to send a bill for $1,000 to the packing company for services rendered. Attorney Louis G. Feldmann told the directors that considerable time had been spent helping the company arrange financing for the building.

"At least $100 went into telephone calls alone," said Atty. Feldmann. "So Slaughter House" When it was learned several months ago that plans were under way for the processing plant, West Hazleton residents were aroused over the possibility that a slaughter houe would be a part of the setup. Protests were made to the borough council to take some action against it. When CAN-DO officials agreed to help in arranging financing, they demanded that company of- pate it will be operating on a profitable basis in the near future.

Yenchko also said that work on the Hazleton Weaving Company plant is proceeding rapidly. September 1 is the date for partial, occupancy and October 1 for complete occupancy. Many Industrial Prospects Arthur A. Krause, chairman of industrial development, told the directors numerous companies have sent representatives here recently to look over possible industrial sites. "We are getting 5 or 6 in every week and the chances are good that several excellent companies will locate here." Krause said.

He told the directors that one factor influencing companies to seek locations here is the intersection of two major interstate highways in the nearby valley. "The outlook for the next few months and for next year is very favorable," Krause asserted. The board meets again on Wednesday, September 2, when bids will be opened for construction of an addition to the Redman Industries building.

Plans Second Plant Dr. Dessen told the directors the U. S. Department of State has informed him that Sekisui Plastics Corporation is planning a second plant in the United States. The probable location, he was told, is Portland, Oregon or Yakima, Washington.

Each wing also will have its own lounge, television room and reading room. To avoid an institutional appearance, the corridor walls will be recessed at the entrances to all rooms. Pastel-colored walls, colorful drapes and colonial-style furniture are planned to enhance the homelike appearance medical authorities consider necessary to patient recovery in a geriatric care facility.

In addition to the customary office, reception and lobby spaces, the central administrative section will contain a chapel, a beauty parlor and barber shop, a physical therapy room and a doctors' examination and treatment room. Beyond the office area will be a large recreation and dining room with picture windows facing two outside patios.

White Insurance' Kiwanis Topic An "old pro" of the insurance business, Morton V. V. White, of Allentown, is going to explain what commercial and industrial property holders require, and how that protection through a veritable flood of new, "packaged" policies is available in today's highly competitive insurance industry. The program is to be given at noon Tuesday before the Kiwanis Club luncheon in the Altamont Hotel. Joseph Lundy, program chairman, will introduce the speaker who comes under the auspices of the Insurance Information Office of Pennsylvania.

Mort White, who has served on a score of insurance committees and is regarded as its leading agents' spokesman on legislative matters, mixes good humor and rollicking incidents with his talks, and has probably delivered more of them than anyone in the Pennsylvania Association of Insurance Agents, of which he was twice president. He has served on executive committees of the National, Eastern and Pennsylvania agents' associations and as chairman of the National Association's Executive and Federal Affairs Committee in recent years, has several times testified on insurance matters before congressional committees. He is presently president of Allentown's Chamber of Commerce, has been active in Community Chest and Red Cross campaigns, was director for two terms and campaign chairman of the Red Cross. He will answer questions and will devote his talk to an agent's answers on "Why, What, When and How Much Insurance Do You Need?" and $540 in currency. According to police, the burglary occurred during the early morning hours while the Karps were asleep.

Dets. John Johnson and Stephen Lawryk said the burglars pried open a rear window with a screwdriver, removed a screen and entered. In the upstairs bedroom, where the Karps were asleep, the thieves stole the jewelry and removed a wallet containing $480 from Karp's trousers. The remaining cash was taken from Mrs. Karp's purse, which as downstairs in the kitch-.
