Tomashatis Estate Tangled by Two Wills This story is puzzling court officials and lawyers in Philadelphia: Peter Tomashatis of Middletown wrote a will in 1317 before going overseas In the Army. He returned safely, but disappeared in 1924.

His will was put into effect when he was declared legally dead in 1939, nd his estate was valued at $30,000. Later he turned up to claim his rate after being missing 17 years. Finally he died in a Wilmington hospital last Sept. 24. and It was found he had left a new will naming new beneficiaries in addition to the sisters named in the original one.

The new will mention seven reohews and nieces, a godchild, and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Pierce of Mid-dtown. where he made his heme. The old will was revoked when Tomashatis was found alive, but there is doubt whether the new will will stand in court because he was declared mentally incompetent in 1924 and again in 1941.

Jacobean. U. S. Army. Water Leak (Continued From Pate One) they found water running.

Somewhere there was a leak. A call to the Water Department office was relayed to Larkin Beeson. chief draftsman. Big wall charts and filing cabinets were consulted. They showed two important 16-inch water mains under Market Street one bringing water from Cool Spring Reservoir through the district, the other bringing water from Porter Reservoir to the district.

Records showed the two mains were put in way back in 1848, running up Market Street from Seventh to Eleventh Streets. The records also showed that there were two "leads" running from the mains to what had once been a reservoir where Rodney Square now is. That reservoir was abandoned sometime around 1877. A. J.

Fesney, assistant engineer at, the Water Department since 1906, then began the job of trying to find which main was leaking. The water was level on the old trolley bed, and it was impossible to tell its source from any flow. The "probe" of Market Street began. Laboratory Goes To Work Simultaneously the laboratory the Water Department went to work. Mrs.

Miriam S. Shane, bacteriologist, took samples of the water. She knew she could tell which reservoir it came from because of a difference in chemical content, due to alum treatments at one of the reservoirs. To make their "probe, a crew of men under John A. Walker, foreman who has served in the department since 1912, began drilling at Eleventh and Market Streets.

The Police Department and the Street and Sewer Department stepped in to help. Parking was banned along the sides of Market Street to give traffic space to swing around the workers in the center. Police were assigned to direct traffic. After drilling through ttie actual street bed, ttie workers sank a T-shaped bar, pounded in with a maul until it touched one of the mains. Earphones Are Used Then the engineers listened with earphones delicate phones mtiich can pick up the trickle of water far below the surface and make it sound like Niagara Falls.

Moving up and down" the street, they could virtually spot the exact Ication of the leak. They had hard ly begun work before they agreed out of their long years of experience that the leaking main was the "lower surface" one. This fact was confirmed definitely for them by the laboratory report from Mrs. Shane. Chemical differences technically the "pH" determination showed the water was in th lower surface main, coming from Cool Spring.

Then the last step was to "spot" the leak as closely as possible. Worked at Midnight Because traffic is so heavy in that section, the Water Department men chose to visit the site on a cold midnight. The streets were virtually deserted. Their earphones told them the leak appeared to be where the old "leads" had run into the now non-existent reservoir, leads built almost a century ago. After a week of "probing" and listening, the men finally dug confidently for the lower surface main, at its almost-forgotten "leads." There they found the leak and the actual repair job.

Mr. Wills said, took just a few minutes. Now the men are "cleaning up" after a job they know was well done. And they still are able to grin as they hear careless com ments of passersby "Look at those guys looking for something, but they dont know what for they know better. Advertisement Feel'llalf-Alive'?

Ambulance Summoned He was taken from the crushed car by the two county policemen.

The patrol car in which Sherman was riding was demolished. The body and motor were 100 yards from the chassis when the pieces came to rest. At Scene Immediately Colonel Haviland, Lieut.

Elliott Hitchens, and several troopers reported to the scene of the accident immediately and conducted an investigation.

Family Society (Continued From Fare One) which was an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. "Of the 334 ill persons. 241 were adults potential wage earners," Miss Mullen said. "For the purpose of determining relief costs alone 35 cases were studied where the breadwinner was incapacitated. These were selected on the basis of the most outstanding illnesses respiratory, heart, mental, nervous and physical handicaps.

Relief expenditures for these families totalled or an average of $212.95 per family." Of the returning service men she said: "Most veterans will adjust to civilian life with little or no difficulty. Some will make adjustments more slowly and some will need help If adjustment is to be made at all. Let us not make the mistake of thinking that all the veteran needs- is a job. When the fanfare regarding returning service men has died out, there will still be those whose lives have been changed because of military service. For some It has been a broadening and stabilizing experience; for others it will have caused strains which undoubtedly will mean dislocations.

Veteran Not Problem "The veteran himself is not the problem. He belongs to no particular group, lives in no particular neighborhood and is of no particular economic class. The problem is in the social, economic and employment adjustment which he Is called upon to make. As rapidly as possible, he should be helped to return to his place in civilian life." Another reason for increasing applications for relief is the employ- ment problem, caused by cancellation of war contracts and industrial cutbacks. "The private family case agency, such as the Family Society, is not set up to do a coverage job," she said.

"Private funds through privately supported agencies should continue to meet those needs which, although they may be affected by, do not spring from widespread curtailment of employment. It is the function of public assistance agencies 'to provide those services which are needed by the broad group of the population." "It is gratifying to know." Miss Mullen said, "that 56.8 per cent of our case load was made up from unbroken families. Our responsibility is that of helping people to live satisfactory lives within the limits of their own capabilities, and the degree and "usefulness of our helping is reflected in the lives of those families who have sought and used the service which we give." Stresses Cooperation Need In his annual message Pierre S. duPont III, president, accented the need for "the full cooperation of the staff, board, and supporters of the society so that our primary attainment will be the preservation of the family as a jmit." "The Family Society enters its sixty-second year of service faced by the greatest responsibilities of its history," he said. "Preserving the family as a unit during the unsettled period of reconversion and reclamation that has already set in after the most terrifying and disastrous war in the history of the world will tax the personnel and resources of the organization to the limit.

Already being felt are the cancellation of war contracts and the accompanying drop in employment. Reduced incomes are resulting even in families where new employment is promptly found. Such a situation more often than not poses problems for the society." Mr. duPont continued: "During the war many physically-handicapped and aged persons were able to find employment for the first time in many years. Now they are beginning to suffer total loss of income with only a small percentage of the physically-handicapped likely to be rehabilitated.

The inherent incompetents can no longer find employment as readily as they did during the war years. When persons without a particular skill or special training do find jobs, it frequently means an extensive drop in income. These problems, with the ever-costly problem of sickness and infirmity, challenge the Family Society as it embarks on the new year." Wilflcla Four Takes Part In Schenectady Parade The Wildela Four.
