(C-E photos) Dog Kennels Best Spot For Swim Pool At White House By JANET STAIHAR Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The White House cat sleeps easier today.

The dog kennels may be about to go for a swimming pool. Administration strategists, U.S. Park Service officials, the Secret Service and the Fine Arts Commission are casting an eye to the air-conditioned dog kennels as the best spot for a new pool for. President Ford. If the pool is built at the current kennel site, in a thick clump of trees on the South Lawn, it would be only steps from the President's Oval Office.

Former President Lyndon B. Johnson had the luxurious kennels constructed for his beagles. And former President Richard M. Nixon had an Irish setter. The Fords have no dogs.

Shan, the Siamese cat brought to the White House by daughter Susan Ford, has the full run of the family part of the mansion. The dog kennels area is good for a swimming pool because and trees 'seclude it from said. Charles Atherton, secretary of the Fine Arts Commission: Two important objectives would be met: aesthetic and security. But, Atherton said, the site is limited, DuBois Man Injured, Truck Crashes Fence A DuBois man was injured early this morning when his pickup truck burst through a guard rail fence off Route 219 a mile north of Ridgway and plummeted down a 75-foot bank. Richard Lewis, 25 N.

Sixth was admitted to Elk County General Hospital with lacerations and abrasions, according to Ridgway State Police. Police said Lewis fell asleep at the wheel of his southbound vehicle and it went out of control. The truck left the road, crashed through a guard rail fence, and went down a 75-foot bank, added police. Damage to the vehicle was placed at $1500. Brockway RD 1 and Brookville RD 1 motorists escaped injury shortly after noon Tuesday in a car-truck collision on Route 28 three miles north of Brookville, report Punxsutawney State Police.

Reams is survived by his wife and five children, his mother; a brother Theran. A second brother, Ivan, died eight years ago. Funeral services were held in Cleveland. DEATHS so early plans call for a 30-or 35-foot pool. There would be a removable bubbletype top "something like a greenhouse," said Atherton.

Also under consideration is a small dressing cubicle so Ford would not have to dash from the White House to the pool in a bathrobe. Ford left behind at his Alexandria, home a 20-by-40 foot pool that he used for morning and evening dips. Ford claims it kept his waistline trim. His wife says it kept his disposition pleasant. This weekend the President is slated to go for his first swim since officially moving into the White House over a week ago.

That will be at Camp David, the presidential retreat that has two pools.

Pittenger Defends Education Policies HARRISBURG (AP)-Defending his policies, state Education Secretary John Pittenger says local school boards need to be "regulated and watched" by state officials who can represent the general public interest. Pittenger was responding Tuesday to attacks by groups representing school administrators and directors who contended Pittenger and the state Board of Education are trying to usurp local school boards' authority. "Their aim is, and always has been, quite department and a board which would be subservient to their Pittenger asserted. "Here the issue is whether educational policy is to be made by a particular segment of the educational Form Polish Folk Choir In DuBois community, or whether it is to be made in the public interest by a state board which can take into account all points of view," he said at a news conference. He said the public has in recent years made clear that local school boards "need to be regulated and watched for the public good." He added that he strongly supports locally elected school boards, but said the state has a constitutional task to operate an efficient system.

The four associations specifically referred to proposed or adopted regulations which would empower the education department to regulate interscholastic sports, student behavior, and student records. Pittenger replied that Atty. Gen. Israel Packel has issued an opinion that the education secretary has a duty to regulate interscholastic sports as a part of the total educational process. The student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, he said, is already in effect in many Pennsylvania school districts and other states, and said the regulation simply outlines constitutional rights already held by students.

The student record regulations, he added, are now mandatory under legislation signed last week by President Ford. City Refuse Truck Backs Into Wagon A City refuse collection truck backed into a foreign compact station wagon on Maple Ave. here Tuesday morning, but no one was injured, City police said today.

The compact station wagon following, driven by Dr. Bryce C. Cochran, of Walnut stopped behind the truck, police added. When the truck backed up, it hit the Cochran vehicle, police stated. Joseph, 88, of Arch Brockway, died Wednesday, Aug.

28, 1974 in DuBois Hospital. Friends will be received at the Carlson funeral Homo tonight from 7-9 p.m., Thursday 2-4 and 7r9 p.m. Funeral services Friday at 1:30 p.m. from the funeral home. Interment in Brandy Camp Cemetery.

The new addition has arrived. An area choir under the skillful direction of Mr. William M. Wascovich was recently formed. It was immediately named the Polish Foik Choir.

The members, 25 in all, from DuBois, Brockway, Falls Creek, and Sykesville, practice regularly in Saint Michael the Archangel Church on Robinson St. They are accompanied by Mr. Stanley C. Malewicz, Jr. on the accordion and Mrs.

Lorraine Mack at the organ. Although a person is not required to be Polish to join the Folk Choir, it is true that the members are largely of Polish ancestry. For the Polish people are famous for their the fields, at their own homes, on the way to church, on special occasions, such as weddings. During work and during play, the Polish have traditionally sung. Even though the Polish Folk Choir was organized less than two months ago, it has already attracted state-wide attention.

Just this past Monday, the members traveled to Altoona to tape a concert for the "Big John Riley Interested television viewers can listen and see the vocal group on Channel 10 (WTAJ-TV) either tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 29 at 1 p.m. or this Saturday, Aug. 31 at 6 a.m. The songs selected for the Big John Riley program represent a few of the types of music the choir specializes.

The concert begins with the "Tatusiu a lovely melody about a daughter's love for "her 'father whom she is about to leave because of marriage. The next number is a lively polka called "Zosia." As a young Polish maiden, Zosia, was sweeping the kitchen, and spies a gentleman whom she invites inside. The party lasts until Mama comes in and catches the couple kissing. The polka is followed by a medley of three waltzes. The first is entitled "Gleboka Studzienka Wale" (Deep Well Waltz).

It tells the story of a maiden who wishes to see her love's face in the well water. The second medley is a sad song called "Matka Wale" (Mother's Waltz). A son is bidding farewell to his dying mother. He reminisces and thanks her for her constant love and kindness, The third selection is also a bit melancholy. It concerns a young lady who believes herself jilted.

The next number changes the pace. It is a lively tune, again focusing on the theme of love, but adding the aspect of nature's beauty. It is called "Ges Woda" (Geese Swimming By) because the beloved is watching the geese as she waits for her sweetheart. "A Nasza Kompanja" (Our Company) will conclude the concert. This spirited folk melody is about a company of soldiers writing a letter to the Czar, stating that they do not fear his, regiments attack and instead go out dancing and carousing all night long.

The seven songs selected for the program are but a small segment of the repertoire of the choir. A better idea of he scope of the music can be gained by attending Saint Michael's Fall Festival, Sunday, Sept. 1 and Monday, Sept. 2. On these dates (between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.) the Polish Folk Choir will be rejoicing in typically Polish fashion.

Each evening the outdoor concert will begin with the Polish National Hymn "Bozo Cos Polske" and close with the Polish National Anthem "Jeszcze followed by the American National Anthem and "God Bless America." In between will be over twenty different ballads, some love songs, some humorous and some religious for every taste. Mini-Bus often a family with a car cannot always agree on when they want to leave either. The many hours of preparation apparently have paid off in the mini-bus study directed by Fr. Dan Dymski. The bus riders are using the system at a rate as predicted in the survey for the opening months.

About five more riders a day are needed to give the system a little more comfortable bulge. Currently the system is being funded locally from monies from city and township allotments. Senior citizens are riding free, but the number is recorded by bus drivers. The transit system is then reimbursed from monies realized from the State Lottery in proportion to the number of senior citizens riding. Applications for other state money have been filed and there have been assurances from Harrisburg that the applications will be granted.

Then federal applications for money will be filed and it is expected that federal monies will be coming also, The bus system with its new equipment is on steady ground for at least a year as a trial effort and indications are that it will indeed be successful as predicted. A great many more riders are expected this winter. Manager Anderson, who maintains gasoline pumps at his garage, feels that before long there will be an increase in tax of 10 cents on each gallon of gasoline. The increase could be incentive enough for a much larger number of people using the transit system daily. Currently, the mini-bus system is a real boost to the morale and success of a modern area.

It's a safe, economical and friendly way to live. To a few people it's a life-saver. Like the senior citizen said, "Isn't it wonderful how people have opened their hearts?" Obituaries Joseph Gattola BROCKWAY Joseph Gattola, 88, Arch died early today in DuBois Hospital. Funeral services will be conducted Friday at 1:30 p.m. from the Carlson Funeral Home with the Rev.

Stock Market NEW YORK sank again today in the troubled stock market. The opening Dow Jones average of 30 industrials was down a fraction, and losers held a 3-2 edge on gainers at the New York Stock Exchange Analysts said there was simply no stimulus in sight to shake the market out of its severe slide of the past three weeks. They said many investors were waiting with interest but little optimism for President Ford's first news conference scheduled for this afternoon.

The widely accepted view on Wall Street is that there is little chance Ford or anyone else could come up with any rapid solution to the inflation problem. In today's economic news, the government reported that its index of leading economic indicators climbed 1,8 per cent in July after a 0.8 per cent drop in June. The index is designed to give indications of future trends in the economy. But some observers contend that its potential accuracy has been diluted of late by inflation. Today's prices included Occidental Petroleum, down Vs at 8Vn; Union Carbide, off Vs at 40'A; Federal National Mortgage, up Vs at and Reading- Bates Drilling, down Vz at 15 3 A.

The decline Tuesday knocked 16.59 points off the Dow Jones industrial average to 671,54, bringing its loss to 126.02 points over the space of J4 trading days. Losers outpaced gainers by a 3-1 margin in turnover of 12.97 million shares on the NYSE. The Big Board's composite index of all its listed common stocks was off .64 to 37.18..
