Phone 7-2245 Rebuilding PRR Track Near Here Oil City-Titusville Section Is Being Converted to Slag Ballast rom Cinder The Pennsylvania Railroad is busy at work renewing ties and converting from cinder to slag ballast on the tracks trora Oil City to Titusville. A spokesman for the railroad said the work is being done as part of the PRR's "cycle maintenance" program, which began about April 27. The Oil City-to-Titusville tracks are apparently being readied in the event of an increase in freight train traffic through the two cities, although no official statement was made by the railroad. It the proposed Kinzua Dam is constructed, PRR freight trains between Pittsburgh and Buffalo via Salamanca Branch will be re-routed through Titusville. A machine, called a "mannix sled," is being used to affect the tie renewal between the two cities.

The mannix sled raises the track and levels off the cinder material in the cribs and leaves it "skeletonized." In other words, the railroad of- fical said, the spaces between the ties are left empty instead of being filled with ballast material. The sled is pulled by a locomotive and travels at the rate of approximately three miles an hour. A work train follows the man- nix sled with fresh, clean slag, which is used to fill up the track. Behind the work train is a raising unit, which raises the track and Continued on Page Twelve Do You Have a Weed Problem? If so, contact R.J.Anderson 407 N. Brown St Phone 3-2861 LETTERS To the Editor REGARDING PROMS Editor of The Herald.

Dear I am very disturbed and upset by so-called junior- senior proms, and I wonder if more parents feel the same way. It seems to me that these proms are becoming more of a popularity or beauty contest and less of a junior-senior function each year. It is no fun to be a mother and see the hurt look in your daughter's eyes because she has not been asked to the affair, while some freshman cutie has been invited in her stead. I believe that there should be some rules laid confining this event each year to juniors and seniors only. If they want to date among their own classmates would be all right, but these girls who are not dated would not feel left out as they would feel free to go "stag." If they go alone now, they feel branded by the rest of their classmates as a "droop" or "drip" or whatever the current expression is for "wallflower." I hate to be classified as "sour grapes," so would like to have some other mothers express their opinions through your column also, as I feel that some of the very nicest girls are the ones who are being left out of what should be one of the happiest events of their young lives.

It's too bad not to feel wanted at your own prom, especially when you are a senior girl. Perhaps if enough of us express our views this situation might be remedied by another year. MOTHER. ASKS ROAD BE PAVED Editor of The Herald; Dear sir: About a month ago, through a letter to the editor, I brought up the matter of paving a 10-mile stretch of highway, most of which is in Warren County. My idea was to get interest aroused.

I'm referring to that piece of jravel-base road which branches GUARANTEED DRESS SHIELDS clot not lien, Klemerf's dress shields keep them fretlil Guaranteed safe, no moisture can penetrate shields.

The victim was Adele Hale, 14, of Harrisville, RD 1, one of a party of 19 youngsters from the First Church of God at Grove City who were visiting the state park in Clarion County. The death occurred at 1:30 p.m.

State Police of the Tionesta substation, who investigated the fatal accident, said a guard fence waist high runs along the lookout point, but the girl went outside the railing. She leaned over, fell and hit the rocks 40 feet below. The only apparent witness to the tragedy was Peggy Fleckinger of Mercer, who was just leaving the point, tate Police said. Sterling Hale, 12, the victim's brother, was standing on a ledge below the point, a few feet from where, her body landed. He heard the thud and discovered his sister's body.

Adele died instantly of a fractured skull, according to a physician, who pronounced the girl dead. Deputy Coroner Dick Kline of Rirnersburg ruled the death as accidental. The body was taken to the Boor- Morelahd Funeral Home at Leeper pending funeral arrangements. Tm Youngsville Boy Says PHILADELPHIA (AP) Harold Roberts, a bright eight-year- old, opened his eyes. The clear plastic of the oxygen I cowl shimmered over his head.

The gas hissed through the valve. The doctor unfastened a slit in the plastic and through the little opening asked: "How are you doing?" "I'm alive," said the boy. It wasn't quite what the doctor expected. For a second he was at a loss for the next word. Then: "How do you know?" "Because I'm not with the angels," the boy replied.

That was more than a month ago. On Saturday Harold was taken back to his farm home in Youngsville, Warren a happy, eager-faced lad, with a patched heart but by all reports a sound one. Harold was a blue baby, which means he had a hole in his heart through which the blood leaked before it could acquire oxygen from the lungs. Surgeons closed the hole. off the East Titusville-Enterprise road, beginning at Stone Arch.

It runs through Dotyville, Selkirk and on to Grand Valley. As I pointed out before, it goes through choice deer and fishing country and quite a few persons own cottages in that area. A paved road would possibly help build up that section in the way of new homes and hunting lodges. But here is the most important argument: I understand a portion of this road is used by a school bus, loaded with pupils. This itself creates an issue that cannot be argued safety of children.

I am hoping this letter will come to the attention of representatives in Harrisburg and they will give the long-overdue matter serious consideration, also any others who may be interested in seeing this project started. I especially hope it will come to the attention of Senator Leroy E. Chapman of Warren, who has introduced bills at Harrisburg to add almost five miles of Warren County roads to the state highway system. As a lone advocator of this much-needed project, I feel I have done my part and can go no further. I have brought it to public attention.

That's about as much as any chap, out of work for a year, can do. ELBERT PRATT Titusville, Pa. Coconut oil is used both in the manufacture of soap and margarine.

(AP) A freight wreck tore the roof from the depot in this village Sunday and blocked the main -line of the Erie Railroad. Thirty-seven cars in the 12-car mixed freight were derailed. Many overturned, broke open and spilled their contents.

A large storage shed was demolished and a corner of a tower sheered off, scrambling wires and putting part of the signal system out of commission. No one was in the freight depot when the wreck occurred in this Chautauqua County village. There were no injuries. Wrecking crews began clearing the two tracks and a spokesman said one would be open early Tuesday. Meanwhile, trains were rerouted over Pennsylvania Railroad tracks through Warren, Pa.

The spokesman said a broken axle apparently caused the wreck. The derailment forced cancellation of the Kinzua bridge excursion scheduled yesterday. A number of local and district people had planned to go on the tour but were turned back at Cony.

Power Cut WhenBoom Hits Wires Jerry Hasbrouck Unhurt When Crane In Oil Creek Hits Lines High-Tension A near-fatal accident occurred in Oil Creek Saturday afternoon when a Hasbrouck. Sand Gravel "drag line" dredging the creek struck some high-tension wires.

The mishap knocked out electricity in parts of the 'city and vicinity for 33 minutes when a transformer blew out. The large piece of equipment, being operated by Jerry Hasbrouck, was sitting in the middle of the creek just below the Brown Street bridge. Mr. Hasbrouck was unable to see the wires from the cab. When he swung the equipment around, the 45-foot-long boom made contact with the high-voltage Crane operators have been electrocuted in similar accidents, The drag line was not damaged, and the operator was unhurt.

Another Hasbrouck employe operating a bulldozer witnessed the accident. The Titusville, RD 2, firm has been working in Oil Creek for the past three or four weeks cleaning out the creek. Herbert Hasbrouck said he expects to have moved 10,000 cubic yards of gravel when the stream clearance, which is about three-quarters done, is completed. The men have been working between Brown Street and the point where Pine Creek empties into Oil Creek.
