Federal grant for strip mines, is $41 million By The Associated Press ilf A $41.5 million federal grant is" being to Pennsylvania to re- claim 84 strip mines abandoned: before 1977, but the state has no' money to reclaim about 15,000 of mines abandoned since then. The federal grant, announced in Pittsburgh Saturday, is to be used on projects that include dangerous' cliffs known as highwalls, coal refuse and mine fires, open pits and-' shafts, polluted streams and hazard-? ous structures. Sixty-two of the projects are in-western Pennsylvania, including twoi non-coal projects, the Cherry Land'J limestone openings in Armstrong County and the abandoned Oakhurst; clay mine in Cambria County. The funds come from fees paid by-coal mine operators, but the progam only applies to mines abandoned before 1977. A state Department of Environ:" mental Resources report said Penn-1 sylvania needs $97 million to'-' reclaim strip mines abandoned more' recently.

Seal can do little more than lie in a hospital bed in Pittsburgh and hope. Back home in southern Indiana, however, the thoughts of wellwishers have not been similarly confined. Not even for a moment do they Eause at the possibility that Seal will refused a life-saving, multi-organ transplant an unprecedented operation to replace his liver, intestine, stomach, pancreas and spleen. Instead, they talk of bake sales, hymn sings and phone-a-thons on WSLM-radio and any other fundraiser that might have the name of Herbert G. Seal on it Leading the effort are people like Jack Mahuron, executive vice president of the Farmers Citizens Bank in Salem, Ind.

Mahuron is an uncle of Seal's wife, Banna Sue Mahuron. "I chatted with him a few times, and he always seemed high to me," says Mahuron. "But he must have his highs and lows. It's quite an ordeal laying there waiting, not knowing." Eight miles away in Seal's hometown of Pekin, his mother-in-law, Miriam Mahuron, does her part by watching his house and three children. It is something she did in Utah four years ago, when Seal first fell seriously ill.

"Nobody knew if it was licked then, and I don't think anybody knows now. But I do think it can work," she says. "I know if it's God's will for this to be, it will work." William Suvak, minister at the Salem Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says Seal has held various church posts, including that of counselor to the elders' quorum. "He's had tremendous medical problems, things I'd say would be the end of a lesser man. But he has a great deal of spiritual strength," says Suvak.

"When he's asked to do something of service to others, he right's there, up to the maximum of his ability." It was one month ago that Seal, a 36-year-old insurance adjuster and former prison guard, came to Pittsburgh with his wife to begin his wait. Doctors at Presbyterian-University Hospital announced plans for the operation three weeks ago, submitting their proposal to the hospital's review board. The board last week postponed a final decision, saying it wanted additional, unspecified information from Dr. Thomas Starzl. In the meantime, everything and everybody is on hold.

"This is a very, very hard time for the family. Waiting to hear the verdict has been unbearable," says Miriam Mahuron. "Maybe if I understood what was happening but I don't." Dr. Charles Carty, a physician who cared for Seal in Louisville, about 30 miles from Pekin, says Seal might live a few months to a year without the operation. But, Carty notes, "You have to consider that his quality of life is just terrible." It was, of course, not always that way.

A native of Mapleton, Utah, Seal has spent most of his life in that state. A Mormon, he attended Brigham Young University. While at school during the late 60s, he met his wife, also a Brigham Young graduate. The couple married in Bannah Sue's hometown of Pekin, and Seal got a job at the nearby Bata a shoe manufacturer. The couple also began building a family, and they now have three children Molly, 11, Michael 7, Ben 4.

Two years after their marriage, relatives say, the Seals decided to move back to Utah, where Seal got a job as a guard at a state prison. He took a job five years ago as an insurance adjuster, a job that relatives say he had hoped would be less taxing on his failing health. But in 1981, Seal developed ulcerative colitis, a disease that would cost him his job, ravage his internal organs, and force him into a regimen of intravenous feeding 14 hours a day. When his entire small intestine was removed during one of several operations, Seal lost the ability to absorb food into his body. Disease has ravaged the Seals' bank account as well his medical bills average $5,000 a month.

The transplant operation would cost roughly $250,000 to $300,000, says Jack Mahuron. Frank Furtivo Frank Anthony Furtivo, a Pittsburgh native who owned a gourmet food store in New York City and a restaurant in Montreal, died of respiratory failure Thursday in West. Penn Hospital. He was 43. Mr.

Furtivo, who lived in New York City, was a graduate of Central Catholic High School and St. Francis College in Loretto. While in college, he was president of the Maurice Stokes Foundation. Before founding his own business- Lottery numbers Saturday's daily number 009. Saturday's Big 4 number 9557.
