C. Blair Memorial Hospital. Street I Cont'd from Page 1) possible subject to weather conditions. It is hoped that the cost of the repair work can be picked up through Bedford County Liquid Fuels Tax monies which are due the borough. It was not immediately known what portion of the cost the county would pay the full amount or a percentage of it but council agreed last night to submit the project to the county commissioners at a cost "not to exceed $3,300." Some ditch repair and cleaning work also needs to be done, but no action was taken last night on the matter.

Council will look into the ditch work at a later date. Saxton's well known "unnamed stream" was also discussed last night. Council member William L. Kelly reported that a considerable amount of dumping of solid waste was taking place along the stream and that the borough should look into the problem. Council agreed to clean up portions of the stream in the Seventh Street and Spring Street areas.

Council also pointed out that if evidence of who is responsible for the dumping can be secured, the borough will take the necessary steps to prosecute. Council president E. Paul Hamman and council member Alan Smith reported that the State Department of Environmental Resources had inspected the community's reservoir at Putts Hollow on April 15 and found the reservoir as well as the rest of the community water system in good condition. DER conducted the inspection and told members of council and the borough maintenance department that DER saw "a really big improvement" in the system after the borough completed badly needed repairs to the system and particularly the Putts Hollow reservoir, which had been out of service since last spring. In a report which DER will send council sometime this summer, the state officials listed some problems that needed to be corrected, which Include Installation of exhaust fans In the chlorinator building at the reservoir; tying down about a half dozen bottles of chlorine gas so that they will 1 not present any danger to employees; and the Installation of a security gate at the chlorinator building at the reservoir because of numerous acts of vandalism at the site.

(Since there are two roads leading into the reservoir and watershed areas, council felt that two gates should be installed and will look into the matter.) Council members last night reported that following the long awaited inspection last night, DER gave the borough the approval to put the reservoir back on line. The borough's other source of water, the Raystown Branch of the Juniata (river plant operations located in the Broad Top Industrial Park), had been taken off line (except for service to a portion of nearby Stonerstown that is not served by the reservoir) so that repair work at the river plant can begin in the near future. In related discussion it was suggested that the borough contact the Tussey Mountain School District and request science and environmental classes conduct field trips to the borough water system as a means of encouraging "community awareness" of the water system and its importance. Problems again were brought up with the solid waste dumping in several areas ol the community water system. Borough officials who are upset with the dumping problem announced that steps will be taken to obtain evidence necessary to convict person or persons responsible for the dumping and ask the public for their cooperation.

Under police committee matters council last night hired Steve Bellinger of Dudley as a temporary, part time police officer at a rate of $5 per hour. Another applicant's name was brought up for consideration as a part time officer, but no action was taken because council would like to talk with him before any steps are taken to hire him. The applicant, Steve Wakefield of Saxton, has been assisting borough police, but to date has no state training necessary to work by himself, council members reported last night. A meeting will be planned with Wakefield it was reported. After reviewing police matters with council last night.

Mayor Nick Villa reported that he will take a leave of absence effective immediately for four months. There was some discussion as to who was legally in charge of the mayor's responsibilities "when the mayor is in town" the president of council or the mayor. Villa answered that the responsibility was Hamman's; others were not so sure. The borough solicitor, Gordon Stroup, will be contacted for an opinion. Also under police matters, police committee chairperson Smith will meet with neighboring Liberty Township supervisors at their next meeting to discuss the possibility of borough and township police assisting each other when the needs arise.

Under water committee matters, the council agreed to borrow $3,500 from the First National Bank of Saxton nvm NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS AD display advertising copy must In Tho Dally Otflco by a.m. TWO DAYS SfFOM PUBLICATION.

The door leading to the stock room where beer and liquor is stored was pried open and the loss there will not be known until an inventory is completed. Chief of Police Lawrence Knable, said the burglary took place between 1 a.m., Monday, and 3 p.m., Monday, when it was discovered by Kenny Wilkerson, a bartender, and Douglas Crawley, a board member, when they opened the place for the day.

The 1 a.m. hour was the closing time for the day. It is believed entrance to the new structure was via a door on the west side of the structure where police found pry marks on the door. Investigation is continuing. Chief Knable asks merchants and vendors in the area to report anyone trying to exchange a lot of change for bills.

All information, he indicated, will be kept strictly confidential. Furloughed (Cont'd from Page 1) America, especially in El Salvador," begins the articulate cleric, "is being told almost falsely by the media. The people of the United States have been misinformed about the people of Central America." Not even Fr. Reymann's abundant compassion can pillow the harsh reality of the lives of the "marginated," as he calls them, people of El Salvador people who are being sacrificed on the political altars of oligarchy and over zealous an- ticommunism." Principals "Most folks here in the States really aren't too familiar with El Salvador and the other countries of Central America," says the man who is called "Uncle" by the Latinos. "Generally," he continues, "they are aware of it only because it's in the news and is a trouble spot right now.

And the U. S. government is sending 'aid' there." El Salvador, Fr. Reymann states, is about 700 miles two hours, 15 minutes by air from Miami. It is about the size of Massachusetts, with a population of six million people, primarily of a mixed (Indian European) background.

called in Spanish, mestizos. The government is an oligarchy the ruling power belongs to a few persons dominated by 14 families, who are multimillionaires. These same 14 families, rich plantation owners, control 100 percent the country's economy, which is based on cotton, coffee, corn, cane and camarones (shrimp), and own outright approximately 80 percent of the agriculture and industry. "To explain the up rising, the obligarchists say it's the communists and the guerrila fighters. Savages, they tell us," Reymann continues.

"But who are the communists. 30 years there I've never seen one. There are probably a few, just like here in the United States. But the 'communists' the government talks about are the PEASANTS, the poor. And who are the guerrilas? People striving to survive! As for being savages, they're no more savage than we are!" According to the missioner, "the oligarchy brands all dissenters as communists" including missionaries.

The people are merely trying to throw off insufferable domination. In 1776, we did the same thing; we threw off the domination of England. We glory in that act, but we deny that same right to others. In this case, to the people of El Salvador." He continues: "Sure, there are probably some communists helping in the revolution and some foreign nationals, but don't forget we had Lafayette from France and Kosciusko from Poland helping us they were foreigners abetting our cause. There are foreign influences in nearly every revolution." As for the source of the people's arms, Reymann counters with: "If a man is dying of hunger, he doesn't ask where the bread came from.

If oppressed and someone has raped your sister and you know they'll be back to rape your mother and your other sister, you don't ask where the guns come from; you're just thankful you have a gun to defend your family." The problem is basically one of communication back to the United States: S. newspersons hardly ever get behind the lines to find out just what is going on. They stay in the big hotels and go out with guides, who come from the army, which is an extension of the oligarchy. And the oligarchey has its "voice" its press agents. But the peasants have no voice the clergy, the ones who live and work among the people, are the closest thing to being their spokespersons, but nobody gets through to talk to them.

Just remember there are no press agents, no spokesmen among the peasants," Fr. Reymann declares. U.S. Reaction Using "the perspective of the people of El Salvador, not as a U. S.citizen," Reymann talks about the United States role in El Salvador: "The U.

S. Department, the Executive Branch and the Congress have united and are taking on communism (the Soviet bloc). This 'communism' is a myth, a national phobia, a camouflage a smokescreen," avers the impassioned priest. "In our East West confrontation, we're using Central America to get to Cuba. So, it's not an, East West confrontation, it's a North South confrontation! So the U.

S. government sends 'aid' $126 million which will fund part of the war and 'advisers' 56 MILITARY advisers to help the army. the oligarchy." Reymann recounts.

No Damage Reported In Flue Fire Sixteen Saxton volunteer firefighters responded to a 10:10 a.m. flue fire in Bar- neltstown Monday. A fire company spokesperson reported that the firefighters were on the scene for one half hour and responded with one pumper, one equipment truck, one tanker and one ambulance. The fire company official said that the cause of the flue fire was due to a build up of creosote in the flue.

No damage was reported to the wooden two story home of Lillian Ciucci. Short Stay Predicted For Rather BOSTON (UPI) Former CBS news manager Arnold Zcnker believes CBS "Kvening News" anchorman Dan Rather won't last more than a year and a half as Walter Cronkite's replacement. But Rather already has lasted longer than Zenker did in Cronkite's seat. Zenker, former CBS manager of news programming, filled in for Cronkite for about 10 days in 1967 when the retired anchorman honored a strike by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Zenker, 41, who now runs a business to help corporations prepare for hard-line questions presented by the news media, said an anchor has "got to be older than Rather is" to hold top ratings for the CBS "Evening News." He predicted Charles Kuralt eventually will replace Rather.

Kuralt, 46, was pulled off his traditional "On the Road" job last year to do a morning news NBC'S Center otill Boy, 5, Hurt In Fall From Vehicle A 5 year old Alexandria lad was injured last night when he fell from a vehicle. The accident victim, Justin Keppel, Alexandria, was treated at J. C. Blair Memorial Hospital for abrasions and then released. Huntingdon state police said Justin fell from a 1974 Dodge, operated by his mother.

For three years, Cronkite was the only journalist voted among the top 10 most influential decision makers in the country. He delivered his nightly newscast from April 1962 until March 1981. Zenker said Rather, 49, does not look old enough to pull off the same kind of ratings Cronkite did.

Although Kuralt actually is younger than Rather, Zenker predicted the balding television personality "will be the CBS 'Evening News' anchorman" in 12 to 18 months.
