Alton P. Eiceman, director of parks and public improvements explained that the fund was being established in anticipation of the city's plan to make more general use of meters in selling water. He said the fund was necessary to give a true bookkeeping picture of the income from water meters, which are now sold to plumbers having contracts with home and business property builders. Receive Petition A petition from property owners asking the closing of Emma Street between Miller and Woodland Streets and a petition from the Di-Anne Underwear 308 S.

1st asking the closing of i an unnamed alley on its property i sparked a discussion of street names in the city and surrounding townships. Mayor Miller said that in some instances city and township thoroughfares have as many as four names in as many blocks. He suggested that the matter of straightening out these situations and eliminating duplicate names on the city map be given to the new planning commission as its first task. The petition of the Di-Anne Company said that it plans a new building which will give employment to an additional eighty workers over and above the 125 it now employs. Approval of the Commonwealth's plans for the resurfacing of Cuni- iberland Street from 9th to 16th Streets was given in another ordinance.

Still another ordinance awarded a contract to Willis E. Bernhard of Lebanon for the construction of 292 feet of sewer line on Cornwall Road at a bid of 55,707.50. A resolution by Mayor Miller authorized him to advertise for additional parking, meters. Three other resolutions authorized the purchase of a quantity of cast iron pipe and fittings from the United States Pipe and Foundry Co. of Burlington, N.

a quantity of gate valves and fire hydrants from the A. P. Smith Manufacturing Co. of East Orange, N. and the purchase of tapping sleeves and valves from the Mueller of New York City.

Other resolutions approved Chief of Police William P. Lynch's specifications for police clothing and ordered a city tax refund of S114.66 to Centenary Methodist Church. A communication from Clarke ICE CHIPS What's Doing In The Skating World M. Seltzer, attorney, asked that the building of the Harvey C. Free Public Library, assessed at situated I at Chestnut and Bollman Streets, together with a number of rental garages owned by the library and situated at Federal and Bolli man Streets, assessed at S7.200, be placed on the nun-taxed list.

A communication from the YMCA asked approval for plans for Youth in Government Week, during which school children will act as city officials on April 28. The approval was granted. A communication from the Meadowbank Playground Association thanked the council for its support and assistance. At the meeting of the board of health before the council meeting Dr. John M.

Loehle, city health officer, said that plans for the mass inoculation of school children with a polio prevenlative were being worked out by Commonwealth authorities. He also said the incidence of seasonal diseases was i about normal. He reported one case of tuberculosis discovered in one of the city schools, nine cases of mumps, three of scarlet fever, two of enteritis and one of chicken pox. The remarkably i'ine showing the Hershey Figure Skating; Club in the Philadelphia Area championships held Saturday at the Hershey Sports Arena speaks well for the future of the organization. There is a wealth of i'ine young- material in the club and under the able coaching- of Gerrard and Betty Lee Blair, Hershey pros, should continue to offer serious competition to all the groups in Eastern Pennsylvania.

Gerry and Betty were very much in evidence during the championship events, darting about like mother hens a's they reassured their pupils they had what it takes to win. And that they were right was shown in the final standings when six titles out of twelve were carried off by the Hershey skaters. One of the most improved performers was Mary Jane Wilder, of Lebanon. Although she won no crown she advanced from 21st last year to fifth place in the juvenile ladies division, which was usually strong this year. This class was won by the exceptionally talented Meg- Davis, of Philadelphia, who promises to continue an athletic tradition established first by her grandfather, John B.

Kelly. Kelly was a world famous sculling champion, a title also won by his son, Jack, who is Meg's uncle. The young skater's aunt, is pretty well known too. It seems she is a motion picture actress who goes under the name of Grace Kelly. But Meg, now only eight, seems destined to command plenty of attention in her own right, judging from the skill she displayed in winning the title Saturday.

The attractive lass is a member of the International Skating Club, a new group which already has developed some promising young talent. Her father, George L. Davis is president of the club. It was in this same class that Mary Batclorf, one of the Lebanon twins, showed so much ability in her free style that she pulled up from eighth at the end of the school figures to sixth in the final standings. Mary and her sister, Ann, carried off the similar juvenile pairs and made a big hit with the crowd, not only because of their skating skill but because oC their pleasing manner.

The youngsters skate as if they are really enjoying themselves. And in some ways I hey remind this column of (he famous Heiss sisters, of New York, who appeared at Hershey two years ago in the Nationals. Since then, Carol went on to finish second in the worlds. There'was no surprise in Peggy Miller's winning the ladies novice title as she was highly favored to do so. But she impressed the crowd Saturday night with a standout performance in the free style, electing to do difficult jumps and turns to perfection.

Miss Christine Berrier, another Hershey club skater, surprised everyone with her brilliant showing in the school figures in the morning, finishing second behind Peggy. However, in the free style she was nosed out for second by Priscilla Machold, of Philadelphia, who in moving up to the runner-up position won a special award for most artistic performance in the entire competition. Although Christine finished third, it still was an impressive showing for a young skater who had not been counted upon to win a medal It also was a popular triumph for she is well liked by the other skaters. Kim Stephensen, Hershey, carried off the ladies intermediate crown but there was some real competition in this class. Carol Sansone, also of the home club, finished second in the school figures, although in previous competition she has been better in the free style.

But when it came to the evening performance in this classification she did a Tenley Albright and fell on one of her difficult turns. It proved costly for she ended up in fourth place. Terrie McConnell, also Hershey, who was third in figures, moved up to second place in the final standings. Ga.y Shillady, Philadelphia, who had been sixth, advanced to third. Although Terrie's finishing as runner-up proved highly popular, the final rating evoked considerable surprise.

This was due to the fact that Lynn Thomas, another was fourth in figures, gave a sensational to.p flight performance in the free style but only was rated finally at fifth. Carol Thomas, a sister, took the junior ladies title, in a'surprising but popular triumph for she previously had never finished higher than third, even in her own club competition. Janet Westafer as was to be expected, took the senioi ladies crown but was given stiff competition by Suzette Lemmon and Suzy Sterne, both of Philadelphia. The.Lemmon girl actually scored more points in the school figures but Janet was ranked first by the judges due to the ordinals She then went oh to clinch the crown with her fine performance in the free style. As far as this column is concerned, the competition Saturday was one of the smoothest ever run in (his sector.

Events went off right on scheduled time and (he officials were most cooperative, particularly with the press. Even (he Nationals two years ago weren't run anv better T.G. ike Asked To Intervene In Clinic Controversy HARRISBURG John J. Haluska (D-Cambria) has asked President Eisenhower to intervene in the latest development of the controversial Hoxsey Cancer Clinic a branch of which has been established at Portage, Pa.

Instantly the cur began to skid; the tires screamed on the jisphalt. and I had the tlevil of a time keeping us from timing turtle. In the middle of my struggle with the wheel a bright yellow roads tor full of prep school kids shot out of a narrow drive in front of us and swerved roaring clown the highway. They must lave missed our front bumper by inches, i unlocked the emergency and we rolled on; sweat was running off me in rivulets. It was the closest call I ever had in my life; undoubtedly Sclona's quick yank on the brake had saved us from an ugly smash.

As I thought of it 1 realized that the road down which the yellow car had conio was entirely hidden from the highway by a stone wall and a bolt, of trees. There was no way I coulci have known that that car was coming. 1 said to Selena, who was sit ting perfectly quietly beside me "Thanks! That was too close, can still hear thn angels She nodded quietly. "There was no way you could see the "No," I agreed. "Kids! Their parents oughtn't to give then cars," She was silent, and belated question came into my mind.

"How did you know they were coining?" is it Jerry had a hunch." And she smiled. It had seemed that she had acted with amazing directness for a woman with only a hunch. The months that followed flowed into one another without anything of importance to this story, 'l was getting on well in my work, and devoting more and more timn to it in consequence. I saw less ol Jerry and Selena that winter than 1 had expected to, and I could see when we did meet, that was delighted with my progress and puzzled by it.

He had somc- hing under his arm, and as soon as the greetings were over he iresented it to me with a flourish. "Here; Bark.

I ran my eye down fable of contents, and sure enough, there was 'he name of leromiah Lister. "What hath (lod wrought!" "You may well say lhat," he old me exultantly.

Jerry's piece occupied only two pages and it might as well have been a Sanskrit inscription for all the sense could make out of it. There was a short editorial foreword by the brain that conducted the magazine in which work was spoken of ns "brilliant," "original," and "highly suggestive." After looking helplessly at the text for a few seconds, I said, "1 bet Selena helped YOU will this." "No," she said, apparently lak ing my jest seriously, "I tiidn'i help him." "I should say not," he added "She was opposed to the thing from the start. She told me i a waste of time, but even ir the face, of discouragement per 1 like doing stuff in the field." "Well," I told him, "every-man to his own folly." 1 was really pleased about (lie article.

The one-lime brilliant career of the actress, originally masterminded by her producer husband, David 0. Selznick, has been quite in recent years. Her last two films, 'Real the Devil" and "Indiscretion of an American Wife," were unusual, artistic triumphs but not general hits, possibly because of 1 a ni promotion. Three months ago she starred on Broadway in "Portrait of a a costume opus that folded after four days.

"It was a personal failure," she admitted honestly. "But I learned from it. "All my life I've wanted to work in the theater. Yes, (he failure.was disappointing. 1 would call it the real of my life, as far as work is concerned, but it was also the great experience of my life.
