Our Readers Write Dear Sir: I felt we should all give the gentleman from Georgia an opportunity to serve the nation before passing judgment. Well, it only took a day. The non Americans who fled to Canada or other non combat areas to avoid defending their country should be tried for treason. Anyone, including our chief executive, who condones or pardons those "jelly fish" should face the same charge. Impeachment proceedings should be instigated before all the inauguration banners are swept from the streets of Washington.

What will happen if World War II, raises its ugly head? Who would we get to defend the country? Are. we ALL supposed to throw down our weapons and run to a neutral nation or bow to a slave master? Guess it will be up to the "ragged" militia to defend home and country. The shots fired should be in the backs of those fleeing not in the hearts of the enemy advancing. On second thought, we might not have the opportunity for the next thing out of the "nut shell" will no doubt be GUN CONTROl. Goodbye, USA! Sincerely, Bear Wertz Spruce Creek, Pa.

Her death also got a lot of people talking about "lifeline" utility rates cheaper prices for consumers who keep their monthly kilowatt hours below a certain limit. Lifeline advocates say the rates would soften the blow of everIncreasing utility costs for the. poor and elderly.

This winter the Public Utility Commission will require that utility companies make personal contact with a customer at least three days before terminating service. But the poor and elderly will still pay the same price for. their utilities as everyone else. And, for lifeline rates has quieted. Finding (Cont'd from Page 1) over the line in Huntingdon County.

The finding of body came after it was reported that a pyschic of International fame. had told police where they could fine the body 'of Debora Sue Kline, 19, Waynesboro, a young hospital worker mysteriously disappeared on her way home from work nearly six months ago. State Police at Chambersburg confirmed that investigator was present during a Sunday afternoon discussion with psychic Dorothy Allison, Nutley, N.J., who was called into the investigation by Debbie's family during the weekend. Allison, who has assisted police and other investigators In their search for missing persons over the last 10 years; aided FBI Investigators in their search for Patty Hearst.

What is Your Erroneous From the best seller, All about how you can learn to stop worrying.

And keep those worries under control. Louis' Carter, chairman of. the Public Utility Com mission, says there are "still too many unanswered questions" about lifeline. "We need to know the relationship, between low usage and that low income. Can we presume there is such a relationship? It you reduce the charge for the low users companies will lose revenue.

Who will make up the terence," Carter asks. Carter says there is research showing that poor and elderly persons living in improperly. insulated homes with large families or malfunctioning heating systems might not be able to keep their heating costs down far enough to benefit from lifeline rates. He also says there is reason to believe that middle or uppermiddle income families with well-insulated homes would benefit from the lifeline concept. "Not everything in life can be calculated, and this might just work: But we have to make certain that we end up helping those who' need the help," Carter says.

The recommendations PUC will make. on new structures to: General Assembly in June. Their report, which must be approved by the member panel, is expected to contain the commission's recommendations on lifeline. At this point, other members of the commission appear as uncommitted to lifeline rates as Carter. "To the extent that a change in rate structure would promote conservation and low usage and' as a side effect provide to low income individuals, I would 'support instances.

But, not until I know who will pay for the lost dollars," says Commissioner Helen O'Bannon. O'Bannon said she would support legislation giving the PUC "the right to explore and implement those kinds of experimental rate structures when they seem appropriate. "But: to legislate lifeline flat across the board is not good legislation, and it's not: good rate making, she said.
