Yesterday's raid came about when the PLCB was tipped off by citizens in the Grampian area and other anonymous complaints.

At one time the Grampian area Veterans Association was a thriving bar in Penn Township. However, in 1974, a church in Grampian and other persons worked to get the question of liquor on a ballot. And, as a result of a vote, the township was voted to be a "dry" township. The veterans organization then lost its liquor license. Apparently the business decided to continue and residents notified the PLCB.

Yesterday's raid marked the fourth one in the county in the last three months.

Limitations Placed On Oil Superports By JAY PERKINS WASHINGTON (AP) The oil companies that have permission to build the nation's first two superports may take another look at their plans in light of limitations placed on them by Transportation Secretary William T.

Coleman Jr. Coleman announced Friday that he was granting permission for two consortiums of oil and chemical companies to build two superports in the Gulf of Mexico to handle the massive oil tankers that cannot get into conventional ports. The secretary, however, imposed several major economic restrictions on the way the ports must be operated. Those restrictions, designed to make certain that the port owners do not discriminate against oil tankers owned by competitors, will reduce the profits Someone Cuts Off Tail Of Lamb In Pasture PUNXSUTAWNEY Punxsutawney State Police' reported an incident of cruelty to animals which occurred on the property of Norman R.

Accidents Penn Central Plans To Sell Existing Assets PHILADELPHIA (AP) Like coal- fired steam engines and cast iron rails, the Penn Central Transportation Co. is on its way to becoming a memory. The giant firm, whose forerunners shaped the country and built fortunes by running America's largest and most efficient rail service, launched its final move Friday.

Trustees filed a new reorganization plan in U.S. District Court. With court approval, Penn Central will sell most of its holdings. Its only remaining venture will be the Pennsylvania a subsidiary which owns real estate, an oil pipeline and a chain of amusement parks. All other assets, including its remaining railroad lines, would be liquidated.

The assets include the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, the Commodore Hotels, mineral rights and rights-of-way that were stockpiled when the railroad absorbed and grew. "In five years, subject to the economy and the approval of the plan, we will have essentially sold everything with the exception of some real estate," said Robert Blanchette, chairman of the board of trustees and chief executive officer for the estate. The bankrupt Penn Central has been in reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Act since June 1970. The firm was formed in a merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroads in 1968. Last April, the firm conveyed nearly all of its rail properties to Consolidated Rail Corp.

(ConRail). It was those rail lines on which the company built an empire. Chartered by the legislature in 1846, the Pennsylvania Railroad began operations with a meager 249 miles of track, At its height, the Penn Central boasted 20,000 miles of track in 13 states and assets of over $6 billion, The Pennsy, reverently called "the standard railroad of the world," connected the industrial northeast to the midwest. Other railroads had more lines, but none could match the Pennsy's operations. The Pennsy moved coal, carried steel, and shipped oil from eastern plants to Chicago, St.

Louis and other midwest points. It also carried farm products back east. The railroad played a part in three war efforts. One of Gen. Robert E.

Lee's aims when he invaded the north during the Civil War was to cut the Pennsy lines. He couldn't. During both World Wars, the railroad moved troops and supplies. It brought such innovations as the first steel rail, the airbrake and train phone. In 122 years, it never failed to pay a dividend.

But the decline of the railroads in the late 1940s, the illfated merger and bankruptcy sealed its fate. The reorganization plan is a way to salvage what the company can for its creditors. "The spirit of the plan is that everybody gets something of a present value rather than facing a long wait," Blanchette said. Under the compromise agreement with the U.S. government and the U.S.

Railways Association which set up ConRail, the government has agreed to accept cash and cash notes to cover the principal amount of Penn Central's $400 million in claims. Past-due trustee certificates totaling $50 million held by the government would be paid in full with interest. The plan also includes a compromise agreement for unpaid real estate and other taxes owed to state and local governments, totaling an additional $400 million. Local governments can accept a cash payment worth 50 per cent of their claim or they can demand a note for the full face amount. That amount, however, could vary because the court must still determine the compensation to be received by Penn Central for the rail assets conveyed to ConRail.

Pre-bankruptcy personal injury claims for amounts up to $5,000 would be paid in cash on or before the date the plan goes into effect. On other claims, a $5,000 initial payment will be made, with the balance to be paid in quarterly installments. Those claims total $19 million. Bond holders would be given cash equal to 10 per cent of their claim, general mortgage bonds for 30 per cent, preference stock for 30 per cent and new common stock of the reorganized company for the remaining 30 per cent of their claim. Unsecured creditors would receive certificates of beneficial interest, which would be worth what the valuation case determines, and 35 per cent of the new common stock.

coupe were listed at $450, and $50 to the trees on the property of Donald Stasukinas of DuBois, RD 2. At 2 a.m., Keith Wyant, of Chapman Road, Remus, driving a tractor trailer, coming east on 1-80, 4 miles east of Exit 17, came upon an accident, braked, skidded off the berm and ran up an embankment, flipping the trailer, over onto its side. He suffered minor injuries, and the vehicle damages were estimated at $8,000. Twenty minutes later Harold Shaffer of Stowe, 0., operating a tractor trailer on 1-80 in Washington Township, came upon an icy stretch and pulled off the berm. At that point a sedan driven by William Hildebrand of Neenah, came over the crest of the hill and hit the Shaffer vehicle.

Hildebrand and a passenger, Mark Enloe, also of Neenah, were taken to the DuBois Hospital by the Reynoldsville and Falls Creek Ambulance services. The auto was demolished at a loss of $3,200 with $100 in damages to the tractor-trailer. A truck and an auto collided on LR 17091, two miles east of DuBois, at 9:45 a.m., Friday. A sedan operated 'by Joseph R. Logan of Gateway Garden DuBois, was coming south on TR 17091, failed to negotiate a left curve and slid into a truck driven by William Cable of Reynoldsville, RD 1, proceeding north, Combined estimated damages was $350.

A one vehicle accident occurred along 1-80 at 10 a.m., yesterday, IVz mile east of Exit 7. Mark Bogdan, of Dallas, operating a truck coming east, lost control on the snow, slid off the north berm and collided with the guardrails. Damages to the truck were $2,500 and $600 guardrails. In late afternoon on Friday a coupe and a tractor trailer collided along 1-80, westbound near Exit 15. The coupe, driven by Robert Banks of Franklin, 0,, dropped off the pavement while passing a tractor trailer operated by Melvin Carter of Cuyahoga Falls, 0.

Banks hit the trailer and both ran off the north berm. There were no injuries and the combined damages were $5,500. The last logged mishap occurred at 11:20 last night along 1-80 in Clarion County. Two sedans and a tractor trailer were involved. The tractor trailer, driven by Robert Lembecke of stopped in the east lane and was hit by a sedan operated by Craig Hauke of Schenectady, N.Y.— Delberto Mendez, of Cleveland, 0,, in another sedan, also coming east, rammed the rear of the Lembecke auto.

The drivers were taken to Clarion Hospital for treatment. No full damage report was available. that the consortiums hoped to make from the ventures. Early reaction from the consortiums was inconclusive, with most oil companies involved in the projects still studying the decision. There were signs, however, that Coleman's ruling was a far cry from what the superport owners wanted.

Coleman acknowledged that the consortiums may now decide not to go ahead, but he expressed hope that other groups might come forth if the current applicants bow out. The consortiums may also face court battles. Florida already has asked a federal court to grant it the authority to veto the superports an authority the deep water port act of 1974 gives to states adjacent to the ones where the ports are built. Florida it should be designated an adjacent coastal state to Louisiana and Texas, where the superports will be constructed, because the oil tankers that will unload at the superports must pass by Florida on their journey. Coleman ruled last March that Florida was not an adjacent state, and it is this ruling that Florida is appealing.

One of the superports approved by Coleman will be located 18 miles off the coast of Grande Isle, while the other will be located 26 'southeast'of Freeport, Tex. When completed, the Louisiana port is expected to cost $738 million. It will be able to unload 3.4 million barrels of oil per day from tankers. The Texas facility will cost $865 when completed and will be capable of unloading 4 million barrels daily. Allegheny sburgh flights from three to five.

Later in the year a new run to Philadelphia will be instituted. In Bradford, the three flights daily to Pittsburgh will grow to five sometime next year. Morgantown and Clarksburg now have two flights a day to Washington and officials have not decided on new schedules in those areas. The airline will be using nine of the planes by the end of 1977. Allegheny is now headquartered in Pittsburgh and Boston, but the new division using the M298 airplanes will be headquartered at Harrisburg International Airport.

The French-built plane is the first of its type to be used in the United States. It is a conversion of the Nord 262, and will replace Allegheny's Convair 580's. The M298 consumes less than one quarter of the fuel needed by the 50- passenger Convair.
