Ken Maynard dies, cowboy actor 77 cuts some lab costs DARBY In a move to the trend in rising nospital costs, the Mercy Catholic Center has announced reduction in charges to Jatients for a number of laboratory procedures. Charles H. Frenzel, executive vice president of the 800-bed Medical Center which serves West Philadelphia an3 Delaware County areas, said the voluntary Deduction in charges 1 for laboratory services will amount to as much as 57 per cent for some of the lab tests most commonly i by physicians, "The acquisition of new laboratory equipment, including a SMA 6-60 which does a battery of six tests iimultaneously from a simple sample, has made it possible to reduce charges and to provide faster results of such tests to the patient," Frenzel said.

The SMA 6-60 is a fully automated instrument which provides a report on the patient's sugar, urea and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride and- carbon dioxide) after analyzing a single sampK The charge for six tests, which were i done individually by a technician, is reduced 52 per cent the new fee schedule. The new laboratory fee structure, which includes many frequently requested tests on newly admitted patients, wil enable the physician to obtair additional information on hii. patient without seriously adding to the patient's bill. "In these days of rising costs not only in the hospital fielc but virtually every area of. our economy, we are ever conscious of the need to hold the line on health care charges wherever possible," Frenzel said.

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. 'AP) Old-time cowboy actor Ken Maynard, the last of the 'Big Four" of early Western movie heroes, is dead at 77. Officials at the Motion Picure Country Hospital here said he veteran of some 300 movies led Friday night. Maynard was admitted Jan. 8 for treatment of nutritional leficiency, artihritsi and general physical deterioration.

A native of Mission, Vfaynard first galloped onto the moyde screen in 1923. The next he had the starring role "$50,000 Reward." For'20 years, Maynard was a op Ibox-pffice attraction and vas considered one of the 'Big 7 our" cowboy actors with Tom VEx, Buck Jones aud Hoot Gibon. He also was tire first move cowboy to sing on the screen. Maynard was a real He rode for a ranch in Terras, joined a wagon show, fought in the Mexican Revolution and roped and rode in circuses and Wild West shows, including Buffalo Bill Cody's, before Fox studios brought him to Hollywood. At the height of his success, Maynard netted as much as $8,000 a week he was operating his own company.

Rising costs and television wiped out bhe Western after World War II, and Maynard dropped out of films after 1947, playang only a few minor rotes and making guest appearances on television. Maynard had lived alone in a tiny trailer in San Fernando, since fflie death of his wife, Bertha, in 1969. His brother, Kenrnit, 73, an actor in scores of Westerns who nsvsr achieved top stardom, died in 1970. Colonial presents See How They Run The play isn't memorable at Colonial Playhouse this month, 3ut a huddle of capable actors the 30-year-old farce, "See rlow They Run," and scores two and several field goals with it. Not that the play has anything to do with football.

On the contrary, it is laid in a sedate country vicarage in England several years ago, and concerns such momentous matters as who the pujpit for ihe Harvest Festival and when is the 'bishop coming to visit. But it also involves a Russian jpy, a saucy housemaid, an American Actress turned vicar's wife, a village spinster to end all village spinsters, and other assorted characters. There are dressed and clergymen, people shut in closets, mistaken identities, misunderstood motives, a plot that won't bear a close look in short, a farce. Chalk up one touchdown for Kathleen Coll as the touchy, hen inebriated spinster, and a second for Albert Ross Hardy, by turns dignified bewildered, and comic as the bishop and especially so in nightshirt and red nightcap Marta Croft score; of to field goal as the lively attractive, unconventional Mrs. Toop, and Ralph Mercer another as a meek clergyman, the perfect straight man.

It's worth the price admission to. see a Cafferty's lovable i a galloping across the stage i yellow underwear and Jame Thorpe continually flopping the floor to hide from Dori Graybeal, the comic Robert Wynne and Les Jacobson are also on the team, with Marguerite Gane as coach. Despite the amusing situation and cross-talk, "See How Thej Run" dragged its occasionally on opening night A farce must keep the zaniness rolling like a Metroliner so tha one hasn't time to feel the thii spots underneath, so that the audience is limp from the tumbling action and frenetic fun Here, the spy scenes are flat unfunny and the attempted updating clumsy. Playgoers may "See How They'Run" at 8:30 tonight, on March 30 and 31, and on Apri 6,7, 13, and 14. -HOLLY R.

WEBSTER Department of Community Affairs (DCA) staffer has told he Home 'Rule Study Commission that the mportance of-adopting a home 'charter lies largely in the ocal powers which will become apparent in the future. Charles a local government specialist 'oiTrierly was on. the faculty of Philadelphia's Pels Institute of Local and State Government, said the fact of getting put from to Earnings statement required People who received one more retirement or checks from Social Security and earned over $1680 in 1972 mus submit an annual report of theii last earnings to Socia Security by April 16, according to Walter Weiss, acting distric manager in' Chester. The report is used determine whether or not peopk were paid the correct amoun Social Security benefits las year and to adjust their monthlj payments for this ye a i according to their estimated earnings. People who were ovei 72 during all months of 1972 do not.

need to make an annua earnings report. Full social security paymen is received if you earned $1,680 or less in 1972. And no matte: how much you earned for las year, you could be paid your full Social Security benefits for any month you earned $140 or less as an employee and die not do substantial work in your own business. There are penalties for peopL who file late or do not file an annual report when one is due unless good cause can be shown A penalty means a loss oj 'benefits. "In 1973," Weiss noted, "you can get your full Social Securib payment if you earn $2,100 o' less.

Or, no matter how mud you earn for the year, you cat be paid your full Social Securitv 's benefits for any month you earn $175 or less and do not substantial work in your owi business." powers key to home rule, study unit told SWARTHMORE A- state things" which could under the borough codejthat a fashioned by tie Legislature sell home rule to a community like Swarthmore, residents appear to be well satisfied with things as they are. Cocheher gave an example from Abingtou, which wanted to us a revenue sharing money to set up trust fund so elderly citizens- could be exempted from property taxes. They were not legally able to do-it. "booasion after occasion will come up when a local community can decide what it wants to do" under home -rule; he declared. Another point he made was would mean the ability to do many things which "haven't iven been thought of yet." He was replying to a query jy study commission chairman Raymond Welboura about the Concern about air pollution NEW YORK (AP) Concern about air pollution and quality of the environment back centuries.

According to the editors of the new, 38th edition of 'Steam," a technical book published by the 'Babcock Wilcox Co. since 1875 for colleges and one time executed in Eng- universities: people were written citizens, plan by a of government local group of land for burning coal because it produced highly noxious dangerous fumes." proving "they aren't going to be dictated to by the legislature," gives a. S3nse cf "cohesion and pride" to a community. A question was raised concerning a possible Pandora's box of new court cases, "a fisld day for lawyers," made possible by getting away established precedents under the Borough Code. Cochener said such fears were, probably groundless, -judging by- the experience' of "thousands of home rule charter communities across fche U.S." But lie advised concerned commission members to face the issue directly by going to home rule communities in Maryland and New York and getting a firsthand report on legal problems they have faced.

If a study commission decides to write a home. rule, charter and it is adopted by the community, there must be an a i i a i code-to implement' it. aer suggested that as part -if iis report, 'commission recommend that several of its members be appointed to a committee to draw up the administrative code prior to a new government going into operation.
