' through n reauthorization in Congress, there is considerable debate on whether or not the large amount of funds which have been directed aH elementary and secondary vocational training should remain ir\ the program." lannone said. "I think the Freeholders in choosing to continue the additional funding of the Vo-Tech Center, are missing a golden oppor tunity to provide a higher quality of education toithc citizens of the county," Ian none said IANNONK POINTED out that there are only two counties in the state which do not have community col leges They are Hunterdon and Cape May "Retcntly Hudson County established the Hudson County College Commission. which is a college without permjin#nt faculty and contracts for its educational prograriis with faculties at neartiy institutions," lannonp said.

as a 'chargeback', none continued. •FOR HW2 the county budget shows $420,000. for charge back costs. In 1981 the county actually spent $192,000 00 in charge back costs" lannone said. “In ah effort to reduce somc/jf these costs Cape May County has joined in a cooperative effort with Atlantic Community College to offer some courses in Court Housl. At best this is only a stop-gap measure since it is impossible for Atlantic Community College to offer a full range of courses to the residents of Capo May County,” lannone said. IANNONK SAID that a Cape May Couhty College Commission would provide the residents of the county with postsccondary training which carries with it recognized college credits, something that the Vo-Tech Center in prohibited by law from offering. “The establishment of a County College Commission would not necessarily be an expensive proposition." lar\nonc said. “By utilizing space at the Vocational Colter, capital iln provemer^costs would be rninimal "This proposal would mean facilfties at the Tech Center would be considerably upgraded and the fact that the county has a College Commission would automatically mak<y us eligible for State and Federal funds f6r higher education that the Vocational Center would not be eligible for," lannone said.

UNION - The New Jersey Thoracic Society, medical arm of the American Lung Association of New Jersey, recommends that persons who face a high risk of getting 'pneumonia should go to their own physicians this fall to determine whether they should receive a pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination. The great'est risk of pneumococcal pneumonia usually is among people who: are age450 or older; have chronie illnesses, such as lunAflisease, heart disease, kidney disorders, sickle celH*anemia or diabetes; are recovering from a severe illness; are in nursing homes or other chronic-care facilities. "THIS VACCINE should* be administered only upon the advice of a physician who knows the patient's complete medical history," explains Lee B. Reichman, M.D., M.P.H., President of the Thoracic Society. “The vaccine is usually given only to people who are.in the-high-risk group. It is not recommended for pregnant women and children under the age of 2." Dr Reichman is Professor of Medicine and Director of the Pulmonary Division at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey — New Jersey Medical Sch6ol, Newark. PNEUMONIA IS an inflammatory disease of the lungs that can be caused by ‘ viruses, bacteria and, occasionally, chemicals or other agents such as molds or dust. Pneumococcal pneumonia is an acute form of the disease caused by a bacterium. Although the exact in-

cidence of pneumococcal pneumonia is unknown, it is estimated that as many as 500,000 cases may occur annually in the United States. The disease has afatality rate .of 5 to 10

percent.

"The vaccine offers protection for at least three years,' - ’ said Dr. Reichman. “Reactions to the vaccine appear to be * limited to a sore arm and a low-grade fever lasting no more than a day." Club Backing PETERSBURG - The Upper Township Republican Club gave its endorsement to Mrs. Millicent Fenwick for the U.S. Senate at its regular meeting, held at the Republican Club here. The 30-year-old Republican organization also endorsed the county slate of' candidates, including Angela Pulvino for County Clerk.
