The bill concerning the formation of HAD 5 (for ~e Milo area) had not been reported out of the Joint Legal ~ffa1rs Com­mittee of the Maine State Legislature as of press time. Wed •. but prospects looked favorable altho some lobbying .was poss1ble. A hearing was held on the bill on Thursday, April 17th. !' delegation of Milo Hospital T;rustee~ is.sued a statement . rn support of the Legislation and BenJamm Patch, Executive Director of Northeast Health Plannin~ Council (B Agency) spoke against passage. . .

HAD 5 legislation is designed to ratse the borrowmg potential for the Town of Milo fpr the construction of a new hospital locally, The borrowing ceiling would .be placed at $2 million although the Tr~Jstees have indicated that the actu~tl hospital should cost less than ha.~f that ~~o.unt, .

Other towns wlll have the optton of JO!niD$? HAD 5 btJ.t J0\11-ing Ls not essential to the success~ul establishJ,nent of aAD 5, The Hospital Trustees see HAD 5 solely for the purpose of facilitating the financing of the new hospital.

bi co en FROM CONGRESS

Maine ' s efforts to combat the infestation of millions of acres of our spruce-fir forest by the spruce budworm took a major step forward last week with the approval of funds by the

.... House of Representatives for insect control measureso Congressman Robert Duncan of Oregon l:!.:.!d I successfully

attached an amendment to a supplemental appropriations bill which included a provision for approximately $3.9 million in matching Federal funds for spraying and monitoring the bud­worm ln the forestlands of northern Maine.

As I told my House colleagues in urging them to accept our amendment, the r elatively small expenditure provided by the bill will have significant economic and environmental effects in Maine. If the budwor m infestation is allowed to spread any farther through the State ' s 7.8 million acres of spruce forest, the impact on Maine's economy will be disastrous.

The forest products industry alone provides one-third of the jobs in our State and contributes 40 per cent of Maine's annual manufacturing output. The lumber, paper and recre­ational industries make up 90 per cent of the State's total economy.

If prompt action is not taken against the budworm, we can all look forward to reduced timber inventories, smaller allow­able cuts , further mill closings and rising unemployment in our northern counties where joblessness is already unaccept­ably high. Dollar s would be lost· to the national economy because of reduced processing of wood products and reduced exports,

Forestry experts predict that millions of acres of Maine woodlands would have to be closed to the public because of the heightened danger of forest fires in the blighted area, a de­velopment which would seriously damage the recreation industry in the state and the environmental threat posed by the destruc­tion of millions of acres of spruce forest is obvious to anyone familiar with northern Maine. JVIAINE AS A MODEL

The House last week also approved a national home insula­tion program modeled on a pilot project conducted in Maine.

During debate on the Community Services Administ ration' s proposed $9 million program to winterize the homes of some of our eountry's poorest residents, I was able to point wlth pride to the success of Project FUEL, which winterized 3, 000 homes in Maine during the winter of 1973-74.

Working on an emergency basis with the help of more than 30,000 volunteers from affected communities, Project FUEL coordinators installed 262 miles of fiberglass roll insulation, 54 , 000 cubic feet of poured insulation, 893,000 square feet of polyethelene plastic storm windows and foundation banking. During the demonstration project, thousands of draft-causing cracks in windows, doors and walls were caulked and weather­stripped , and countless stoves, chimney flues and broken windowpanes were repaired.

Not only was the comfort and health of affected families improved by Project FUEL, but the $280,000 spentfor winter­izing resulted in savings of two or three times that amount in yearly fuel bills and conservation of an estimated million gallons of fuel oil and kerosene .

Ten thousand Maine residents benefitted from Project FUEL. Even more can benefit from the new national program, which still requires Senate approval. An estimated 30,000 homes in Maine still need winterization work, while around the country 90 per cent of existing homes ar e thought to be inadequately insulated, especially those occupied by poor families.

REPORT FROM

CAPITOL HILL

BY SENATOR WILLIAM 0 . HATHAWAY

Help may soon be on the way to homeowners in Maine and throughout the country who have lost their jobs or have been force.d to take lower paying ones due to the recession and find it virtually impossible to maintain their mortgage payments.

The Senate will be considering shortly the Emergency Homeowners' Relief Act. Basically, it would provide loans up to $250 per monthfor up to 12 months to unemployed home­owners faced with foreclosure because of delinquent mortgage payments. The · House has already passed s uch a bill with little opposition.

To qualify , a homeowner's applicat ion for this mortgage assistance would have t0 meet the following criteria:

He must have suffered a severe reduction in income brought about by illvoluntary unemployment or underemployment re­sulting from the current sagging economy.

He would also have to be at least two months delinquent in his mortgage payments and notified by his mortgage holder of intent to foreclose.

And, finally, the house in question must be the principle residence of the homeowner and there is a r easonable e:lq)ec­tation the mortgage payments could be res umed.

Such a bill, if enacted, would only be te mporary , a1\ . a loan program, would not dig too deeply into our overworm(c{ · federal budget. Approximately $500 million would be author­ized over a pe riod of three years beginning in fiscal year 1976 to provide mortgage relief for about 300,000 homeowners.

Since an interest rate of up to eight poc cent would be charged on the loans, it is possible that in the long run the program could even pay for itself. However , the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which would administer the program, would be permitted to defer repayment of the loans until the mortgage property is sold or the mortgage is retired.

The emergency loans could be extended for as long as 24. months , but it is estimated they would not normally continue for more than one year.

Statistics indicate that the unemployment rate, now at 8. 7 per cent nationwide, is headed higher still. It is already at 12 per cent in Maine. Statistics also indicate that in times of economic hardship and unemployment such as the country is now experiencing, delinquencies and thenforeclosures in home mortgages begin to rise. ·

This legislation is being prepared in anticipation of such a problem and could provide welcome and needed relief to homeowners, who in unexpectedly losing their jobs, suddenly face the additional threat of losing their homes.

MAINE RETURNS TO ANTIQUE CO LORS Mr. John P. Doer r , President of Maine Line Paint,

Auburn, Maine has just announced a new line of paint called the "Province of Maine Collection".

Some of the most beautiful homes in Colonial New Englanct were built between 1760 and 1820 by their inhabitants, and just as t hey built their own home, they mixed the ir own paints. The coloring of their paints was derived from simple , natural and accessible ingredients and their combinations; buttermilk, oxblood, lampblack and wild berries are a few . Toda.y•s de­mand for durable and versatile paints prohibits the use of some of these ingredients. However, a variety of these same natural inf!r~dients used by our ancestors (although now more r e­fi 1 can still be found in the paints of the Province of Maine Co~ction.

The color s are a r epr oduction of those used by the early set:lers of Maine and have such names as Oxblood, Cobb 's Brtdge Blue and Chandler Gold,

The Collection evolved from the restoration work and fur­niture replication of Thomas Moser, Cabinet Maker, of New Qloucester, Maine. His idea was to reproduce these paints so that furniture that is now being made can have the same colors as that in the early 1800's.

Maine Line Paint expects to be releasing these paints sometime in May in New England.

DANCE RECITAL TO BE HELD AT MILO TOWN HALL In September of last year, a new learning s ituat ion arrived

in the 'Town of Milo--the Milo School of Dance. The planning stages were held in the summer; but when the school was ready for opening, a few changes were made- - namely , the instructors came fro m the Thomas School of Dance in Bangor. Classes were broken l,nto four categories--the preschool age students , the early primary grades, the upper primary grades , and the junior- senior high ages. For the most part, all groups are still going str ong except fo r the older group, The pressures of basketball GUJ.d school dur ing the winter months caused the dissolvement of this older group •

Classes for the students have been held eve:ry Wednesday afternoon at the town hall since September*. The time has now arrived to determine just what the s tudents have accom­plished. Thus, a Recital will be held at the Milo Town Hall on Wednesday evening, April 30, at 7:30 p.m. The recital will feature both tap dancing routines and a combined ballet pre­sentation. There will be group numbers and solo numbers. The instructors, Miss Dale and Mr. "D" will both parform numbers also. An admiss ion charge of $1. 00 for adu\ts and . $.50 for students and children will be charged to help defray the costs of the school. The public is welcome.

*Mrs. Fern Clmningham of Brownville has been the accompanist for the school since .it opened.

MAINE LUNG ASSOCIATION KO SMOKING IS GOOD INSURANCE

Waiting for a "s<.fe cigarette?" Better quit. There's no such thing as a safe cigarette. And little hope

for one. There is some evidence that cigarettes with lower tar and

nicotine levels may be less hazardous than those with higher levels. But anything that burns - - tobacco, lettuce, Kentucky bluegrass -- creates gases that assault the lungs.

Insurance companies know the statistics. About two dozen of the nation's life insurers provide discounts to people who don't smoke. Some companies offer lower rates to nonsmokers for automobile insurance, homeowners insurance, and dis­ability income insurance. Smokers are involved in more traffic accidents, cause more home fires, and suffer greater disabilities than' nonsmokers,

RESIDENT BIStfOP OF BOSTON AREA U M CHURCH Bishop Edward G. Carroll, Sr., is a native of West

Virginia and was educated at Morgan State College , Yale Divinity School, Union Theological Seminary, New York, and Columbia University. He has taught at Morgan State College , and received the Honorary L. L,D. degree from that college. He has been an Associate Secretary of the National Student YMCA, and an Army Chaplain, and has traveled widely in Europe and Asia.

Bishop Carroll has served as pastor of churches in Mary­land, Kew York , Virginia, and West Virginia. He has bF­a District Superlntendent. In 1968 Bishop Carroll beca_..., pastor of the historic Marvin Memorial Church in Silver Spring , Maryland, where he served with distinction until his election as Bishop, July 13, 1972. -He is now Resident Bishop of the Boston Area of The United Methodist Church.

Bishop Carroll will visit the Brownville JCt. - Milo Parish of the United Methodist Church on April 27 when he will cool­duct srevices at 9:45 in the Junction and at 11:15 a t Milo. It will be the first time in many years j:hat a Bishop has visited this u l'l.r<'.:t.

Before granting lower rates, some companies require that the person has never smoked. Generally, though, the em­phasis is on. present smoking habits . At least three major companies require only a simple statement that the person hasn't smoked for one to three years. Several others rely on interviews and inspection reports.

The benefits of quitting smoking can come quickly. One experiment in Canada showed remarkable improvements in lung function after only six weeks of stopping smoking. Sen­sitive tests showed there had been a reversal of the lung damage -- blockage of the small breathing passages -- done by smoking. Even in one subject who had smoked for 46 years!

The benefits are usually permanent, too. Staying off arettes for ten years forces the prematur e death rates~· smokers down to the level for nonsmokers.

To find out ways to quit smoking for your self and those you love, contact your Malne Lung Assoc iation, the Christmas Seal people. You may get lower insurance rates and a much healthier life.

MDOT HEAD CLAIMS EXISTING TRUCK WEIGHT LAWS FAULTY

The Commissioner of the Maine Department of Transpor­tation, Roger Mallar, said today that in all of the discussion over truck weight legislation, the principal problems are being overlooked. "The fact is," said Mallar , "that our truck Weight laWS Of today are faulty ill at least three areaS, II

Mallar pointed out that Maine has an inadequate fine structure which causes our existing truck weight laws to be flaunted by many individuals hauling goods by truck-- us.ually pulp. The state's existing law provides for a fine · from $100 to $200 for overloads in excess of 5, 000 pounds. "In many.....Qf our courts the unwritten maximum seems to be ·.$100 plus l costs of court. For overloads of 50,000 poimds the s~ maximum is in effect, thus encouraging gross overloading," L--------------------------...z MaHar said. Maine's present laws also do not provide for any

increase in the fines for repetitive weight violations. The second troublesome area, Mallar said, is a section

of . the law included in the so-called tolerance provision that allows vehicles hauling certain commodities excessive concen­trations of weights. This is a provision that allows weights to be carried up to 600 pounds per inch of tire width ·as rated by the manufacturer for these types of vehicles. "The net effect of this," Mallar emphasized, "is to have no practical axle weight restrictions allowing heavy concentration of loads that are detrimental to both our highways and bridges."

The third serious deficiency in our existing laws, Mallar pointed out, is the absence of any significant vehicle safety requirements t.o assure that the weights allowed by · existing law can be safely carried. This actually encourages the use of vehicles too light and too old to safely operate on .our high-ways, he said. .

The current legislation being considered by the Maine Legislature is significantly different from the legislation which was turned down by the people of Maine in referendum in November of 1974 si,nce the previous bill did not adequately address the faults in the present law, said Mallar.

"The current proposal to amend the legislation to limit the maximum basic gross weight to 80,000 pounds (88, 000 maximum for tolerance vehicles) cr eates in my mind," said Mallar, "responsible legislation. " In most instances the max­imum gross weights which would be allowed on a year -round basis would be less than weights currently allowed during th~ winter months for certain vehicles, The issues of fil weight concentrations and vehicle safety are addressed in~ proposed bill, he said. .

Mallar pointed out that he hopes that the e motional lssue of the modest change in gros.s weights will not deter the Leg~s­lature from acting in the interests of the safety of Mame motorists by providing significant improvements in existing truck weight laws.
