Main Street By DAVE COTT1NGHAM Hagersfown Area News Obituaries, Features Hagerstown, Md. Page 3 Salnnlty, March 6, 1971 Health Officer Says Many Lack Transport Without Buses THE CAREERMAKERS: David G. Drawbaugh Jr. (left) and Richard J. Hajek --partners in an educational revolution.

hey're brothers-in-law and co-owners of a unique schooling complex, the corporate entity which operates the Hagerstown Business College, the Maryland Secretarial School and the National Legal Secretarial School. 'We're part of the new educational revolution," says Dick Hajek, president and secretary of the educational corporation. "Oddly though, we've been offering tailorad-tO'Order secretarial training for more than three decades, Now the Federal government finally is proclaiming it a must in the educational field: specialized training for spe- citlixed Dick's father, the late E. J. Hajek, founded, the Hagerstown Business College here in 1938.

He started with 12 students in the basement the Professional Building on Public Square. A few years later his enrollment has increased so much that his school took over the whole fifth floor of that building. "It was his says Dave Crawbaugh, vice president and treasurer of the schools, "that put us in the unique in today. In the early '40s he foresaw the trend to specialization resulting from swift advances in science and He realized that it soon would net for girl to be a secretary--she'd have to trained as a specialist for secretarial a specific E. J.

Hajek founded the Maryland Medical Secretarial School in 1949, when, he moved hit schooling complex to the former M. P. Holier residence in the 400-block of N. Potomac St. He toured hospitals and medical facilities to ascertain the specialties needed for secretarial work in the medical field, then tailored his curriculum to meet the needs.

"How well he succeeded," comments his "is indicated by the fact that he never had a graduate who didn't have at leas, several job offers from which to choose. Our medical secretarial graduates.are working in tvery state and five foreign countries now. And wherever they are employed we have repeated requests for more graduates like them. More than 35 of our graduates work the University, of Maryland Hospital In Baltimore, another dozen or more have positions at trw National Institutes of Health. One of our graduates is secretary to Dr.

Denton Cooley, the famed heart surgeon hi Houston, Texas." The new emphasis in education, as Dave Drawbaugh points out, is on skill. Even in this day of high unemployment that are thousands of jobs unfilled. College graduates stand in unemployment lines because their degrees don't provide them with the skills necdec 1 to-fill these jobs. "As a nation," says Dick, "I'm a a i we've been selling our young people down Iht river. We've brainwashed them into believing that the only respectable future lies In the white-collar field.

The truth is that many of the so-called blue-collar jobs now pay as much or more than jobs requiring college degrees. One of our graduates thi term in fact, graduation is being held today already has been hired at a starting salary of $11,000 a year, as a court reporter." The graduate he refers to was enrolled in the National Legal Secretarial School, which was added to the Hajek schooling spectrum In 1960. This particular graduate is an ex-GI, 'one of about 20 male students on the campus this term--with over 400 girls! "We have a.number of girls," comments Dave, "who have completed the same training. In court and conference reporting, and all making unusually high salaries in court systems all over the country. Our medical secretaries command commensurate salaries in metropolitan hospitals and clinics.

Odd I enough, none of them could qualify for the same jobs if she had only a college degree. We've had many students here with two or more years of college who finally decided that they wanted career-oriented training. Which, of all that we offer." The three Hajek-founded schools share a campus of about one and a quarter acres on N. Potomac now including the former D. A.

Stickell residence. Out-of-state girl enrollees live at Dagmar Hall, the downtown dormitory for the schools operated by Mrs. Mildred Litton. "Most of our enroltees," says Dick Hajek, "are academic high school graduates. Mo of them come from an area of six states, but we've had girls from all over the country, since each of the schools is nationally accredited.

We accept only full-time, day students, and all must live according to school regulations. We never have had a drug problem or any other behavioral complication on our campus or in the dorm. Our gills an. too busy, in a curriculum that is demanding because it is designed to minimize educational cost. A graduate of our two-year medical secretarial school has invested only $3,000 in her education including room and boar compared to a minimum of more than twice that for the same length of time any other campus.

And, after two years she is ready to hold down a remunerative job." Dave Drawbaugh, who By ARNOLD S. PLATOU There are a lot of people, who don't have cars or who have health problems that keep them from driving, who need public bus transportation to get to the Washington County Health Department, said Dr. Paul V. Joliet, county health officer, this week. Many of the patients, despite low call taxis to take them to and from the health center because they have no other means of transportation, he said.

Speaking to the focal Community Ser- 'vices Council this week. Dr. Joliet said, because of these needs among his patients, he feels there must be other areas too, which represent pockets of need for the transportation. In accordance with these feelings, Joliet, who is also a member of the CSC board of directors, invited seven country citizens to 'the meeting. Only two, Hagerstown's Mayor Herman L.

Mills and County Commissioner Lem Kirk failed to appear. Those who did attend the meeting were W. W. Wenger, of the Halfway Civic Association; Rev. J.

Clark Hayes and Jay W. Stouffer, both of Maugansville; and Lester L. Berger business manager at Hagerstown Junior College, Also present was Franh Shank, new president of the local chamber of commerce. Joliet explained he felt by inviting these community representatives he could arouse support for -the bus plan and could pinpoint' areas which especially need the system. Jesse Keagle, CSC executive secretary, later quoted Wenger as saying Halfway residents "show quite a bit of enthusiasm for the proposed county bus system." In a phone conversation after the meeting, HJC representative Berger said he feels there is a need for a survey of both the parents of and of students at HJC to determine their reaction to bus proposal, He explained' he thought if the proposal were passed, bus runs would have to be made more frequently than once a day to the college.

Berger said the school is very "mobile" with many students having classes spread throughout the day. This mobility, he said, "is probably the reason why only a few HJC students used the once a day bus service available when the former system was In operation at the college. Dr. Joliet agreed there are more areas of need than that of those who use the health center. He cited a need for public transportation to the unemployment office, the Western Maryland Hospital, the welfare department as well as the health department.

"A county bus sytem can not exist without a subsidy," he commented. "They subsidize truckers and airplane companies, why not bus systems? They can't expect it to run on a profitable basis without the subsidy," Joliet added. The health officer explained other cities have begun subsidized public transportation systems "and they have worked out very well. He said New Castle, now has such a mini-bus sytcm and "Cumberland plans to do the same thing." Dr. Joliet listed the following as "pockets of need." Low-rent housing projects on the Dual Highway and in the East End; housing for the elderly downtown; trailer courts on Pennsylvania the downtown area in general; Frederick Manor; Williamsport; Funkstown; Jonathan the Salem Ave.

environs and the 500 block of S. Potomac St. Also listed were outlying arent Cavetown, Boonsboro. Smirhsburg, Sharpsburg and Delegation Agrees To Transit Authority The Washington County 1 i 1 a i delegation is agreeable to giving the County Commissioners authority to set up a transit authority, reported County Commissioner Harold Lee Boyer! Boyer, County Board Chairman Lem E. Kirk, Commissioner Rome F.

Schwagel, County Attorney James F. Strine, and County Auditor Earl Smith visited the legislators in Annapolis on Thursday. "If we establish a transit authority," Boyer said, "we don't want to have to wait until next year's legislature to get the authority." Wicomico County already operates county transit authority, he noted, and Allegany County Is in the process of setting one up. Boyer said the first step of the transit committee will be to investigate the economic feasibility of bus transportation in Washington County on a subsidized basis. It will start fay pany, he said.

In Wicomico County, Boyer Said, going through the records and talking for former personnel of Autietam Transit Corn- county government owns the bus system, and leases it to a private operator for $1 a year. The private operator in effect receives a subsidy by not having to buy the buses and not having to pay taxes on them. The county delegation also asked the legislators for authority for a $7 million school construction bond issue and a $1 million drainage issue. responsible, highly is married to Dick's sister Doris, points out that the schools offer a low tuition despite being completely self supporting. No tax dollars, he says, go into the operation of the educational complex.

The reverse is true, in fact, since the corporation pays taxes on its buildings. It also creates a lot of business for downtown merchants who warmly welcome i pulchritudinous enrollees. Girls in the Medical Secretarial School all wear uniforms, and all are bought locally. Dave and Dick have two sons each. Dave's older son, David 3rd, is a V.P.I, graduate now employed by General Motors at Martinsburg; his younger, Edward J.

II, is a University of Maryland graduate now in his first year of medical school at Duke University. Dick's two boys, Michael, 12, 'and Bradley, seven, are enrolled respectively at North Potomac and Paramount Elementary. "We're a great team," says Dick, alluding to his brother-in-law. "We've been partners in our school complex here for II years and never have had a word of disagreement, pro bably because we stay in separate orbits of responsibility. He's the inside man, in charge of administration and curriculum; I the outside man, in charge of admissions, public relations and counseling." Dick, a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, originally had planned to become a lawyer; Dave, a University of Maryland graduate with a major in chemistry, first had started working on the Western Maryland Railway.

A warning heart attack suffered by Dick's father prompted Dick to alter his own career plans in 1955. He later recruited Dave to join him as a partner. (He was unsuccessful in trying to recruit his other sister, Jacquie, who is a physician in Atlanta, Ga.) "What we're offering," says Dick, "is what the Department of Education is needed all over the country: job-oriented education. It's what we call 'now education for the now because tomorrow's affluent suburbs are going to be peopled with workers geared to the new technologies."
