Getting More Gas PHILADELPHIA (UPI) Philadelphia Electric Co. has begun to receive an additional SO million cubic feet of natural gas per day on an emergency basis to protect residential and hospital users in the suburbs.

However, PE said the emergency allocation cannot be used for its 2.000 largest industrial gas users and that they will have to remain at minimum plant maintenance levels. PE Friday ordered all industrial and commercial customers who use more than 50,000 cubic fact of gas daily to cut back. Lebanon Valley National Bank, founded in 1831, is the oldest bank in Lebanon County. While 9 local offices are available, the bank's main office is located at Ninth and Cumberland Streets. It is here that the bank's trust operations are consolidated for administrative purposes.

The trust department is founded on the newly- renovated second floor. The officers in charge of the trust department are Larry H. Eberly, trust officer, and Terrence L. Feeman, assistant trust officer. The department oversees $19,300,000 in trust and estate accounts and approximately $8,300,000, in corporate accounts.

As 1976 drew to a close I spoke to Larry Eberly and solicited the view of his department as to the outlook for 1977. Larry's first responses were directefl to fixed income securities. Interest rates were thought not likely to decline much below year end levels. In fact, Larry saw a reason to believe that a slight increase in rates might occur during 1977's first quarter. Readers will recall that in last week's column Jay Dutweiler, trust officer over at Lebanon County Trust, was also looking for higher rates.

Certainly both Route 72 Scene Of 4 Mishaps N. Cornwall-W. Lebanon Twp. police reported four accidents on ice-and-snow-covered Route 72 Saturday. Two occurred a quarter mile south of Tuck Street, the first at 5:17 p.m.

At 12:45 a.m. a truck operated by John T. Wagner, 62, 101 S. College Myerstown, went out of control near Williams Chevrolet and struck a pole, a sign and a fence. Total damage was $2,250.

Servomation Sales Are Up NEW YORK Servomation the national food and refreshment service organization, announced today that its net income for the six months through Jan. 1, 1977, was $5,068,000 or Si.14 a share, compared with $4,896,000 or 99 cents a share in the like period a year ago. Sales for the first six months were 5198,821,000 as compared with $192,009,000 for the same period a year ago. Larry and Jay were proven right in January as fears of renewed inflation, a heavy supply and other factors resulted in a weakened market for fixed income securities and, thus, higher rates.

As a result of the view that Lebanon Valley National's trust department has on interest rates, their primary focus on the bond market is with maturities of 10 years or less. There is also interest in convertible bonds (bonds which can be converted into common stock). In 1976 the department took positions in a number of convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks. Larry reports that these performed well both in terms of current yield and appreciation. In regards to the economic recovery Larry feels that we have seen a substantial slackening, but he continues to be optimistic.

He looks for further recovery but at a slow pace. He points out that corporate profits have been reasonably strong and appear now to be higher than many economists had forecast. It is the policy of the department that only or higher rated securities will be considered for trust accounts. They continue to watch the convertible securities market when investing for income and capital appreciation.

CHICAGO (UPI)-Federal investigators Sunday re-staged the ride that led to the worst elevated train crash in Chicago history, but said it would be six months before it is officially determined whether human error was responsible for the crash. Kay Bailey, vice chairman for the National Transportation Safety Board, declined to comment on the report that human error caused Friday's crash that killed 11 persons and injured nearly 200 others. She said the NTSB will hold public hearing in March and submit a final report in six months.

Also on hand for the twilight hour restaging was Acting Mayor Michael A. Bilandic, who rode the 90 degree turn to shore up public confidence in the Chicago Transit Authority. Bilandic planned to meet in Washington today with President Carter to discuss speedy replacement of the 90-year old Loop elevated structure. The mayor's scheduled trip was in direct response to Carter's telephone calls after the accident. The accident occurred at rush hour Friday evening.

An eight-car train bumped the rear of another on a 90-degree curve above a busy intersection in Chicago's Loop. Four cars jumped off the tracks, two of them landing on the street below. Transit Authority officials Saturday blamed "human error" for the crash and said safety equipment was working properly. Federal investigators re-staged the trip to determine the approximate visibility at the time of the accident and the braking conditions.
