president of the Historical Society, reported this and other decisions made by the executive board, to the membership and Jersey Shore Historical Society guests at a fall dinner meeting of the two societies Monday at Bentley Hall. Lock Haven State College. Dr. Philip S. Klein, professor emeritus of the Pennsylvania State University, the dinner speaker, gave a scholarly address on "Some Thoughts for 1976." He recommended a set of historical projects in Clinton County to contribute to the nation's bi-centennial.

As an historian. Dr. Klein sees the basis of historical repository lying within the small group in the local context people who have a "common past. "Passengers on a jet plane are not a community, but they become one if they go through a plane hi-jacking." he pointed out. Our federal system is built on communities that have geographical boundaries as unifying factors, said Dr.

Klein. What uniquely belongs to the community its old landmarks, old people, old tragedies, old traditions becomes precious. Dr. Klein recommended some "community building cement" for the historical society, as it approaches the nation's bicentennial of 1976. which, said the speaker is be "a mosaic of small celebrations across the nation." He said: Protect tangible remains, like buildings and historical places of interest, by registering them as historical sites or landmarks.

To destroy old landmarks destroys the roots by which we exist. Complete an inventory of the county archives started in 1930. Focus attention on the manuscripts and historical data still extant after the flood. "You can xerox them," he pointed out. Bring the writing of the county history up to date.

Keep diaries. Restore your newspaper files. Interview older people of the community on their recollections of the past and develop a campaign for historical old pictures. Dr. Klein charged that there has been a poverty of writing, in the historical context, in the last century.

A check in the amount of 75 per cent is expected within a week, with the other 25 per cent due at the time the remaining projects are completed. The Western Clinton County Planning Commission asked council to approve a resolution changing the name of the Western Clinton County Sewage Authority to a municipal authority, incorporating sewer, water and refuse. The commission said the all- inclusive authority's operation could expedite federal funding. Council referred the matter to the borough solicitor. The authority is made up of Renovo.

South Renovo and Chapman Twp. Council approved a resolution which would enable the authority to borrow money for operational expense, such as the $25,000 due the engineering firm for planning work on the proposed new sewage treatment plant. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plans to inspect Susquehanna between Second and Fourth streets, prior to issuing a request that the borough take over the street. This section of the avenue is between the old and the new bridges and was known as Route 144 under state supervision. Report was made that the Sept.

20 water line break at Halls Run has been satisfactorily repaired. The break was caused by Interstate Amiesite Co. equipment during the execution of a contract with PennDOT for repair of a culvert. The fee charged for use of a machine to make water line taps with the line under pressure was raised to $45 for non-borough residents. The $35 fee for in-town use will remain.

Council discussed possible purchase of trucks and other equipment through the State Council of Civil Defense. Borough CD Director David Krepps was asked to investigate. New Police Chief Raymond L. Zuback reported he has been receiving good cooperation from state police and the former police chief. Gaylord Dayton, in learning his new duties.

The firm borrowed the borough's jack hammer and cutting tools, returning the hammer in a damaged condition and failing to return any of the cutting tools. Letters of request tor action have been ignored, a council spokesman said. White, contractor on the Factory Automated Systems Technique housing projects here, is reportedly showing disregard for borough sewer lines in the performance of his contract. A FAST representative at Monday night's meeting said he would look into the matter. The FAST spokesman also voiced concern about the proximity of housing to the gas company in East Renovo, from the standpoint of odor and explosion danger.

He asked if council could take any action on abatement of the odor and investigation of any danger. He was referred to Charles Q. Carter, executive director of the Clinton County Housing Authority. Council received only one bid in the effort to repair or replace the police cruiser engine, following suspected vandalism. Rosamilia Bros, quoted $885.50 for replacement of the engine.

Council was of the opinion the price was too high, considering that the cruiser is a 1970 model, so decision was made to advertise for a new cruiser meeting state police specifications. Sugar was reportedly placed in the police car's gasoline tank. The possible purchase would come out of the $52,000 the borough is slated to receive this month under the federal revenue sharing program, according to the Pennsylvania Association of Boroughs, a council spokesman said. Council passed a resolution authorizing the Western Clinton County Sewage Authority to borrow money needed for funding authority expenses, to the extent of Renovo's proportionate share. Also in the authority are South Renovo Borough and Chapman Twp.

Resurfacing of all of Erie between Third and Sixteenth streets, was approved for the coming year. Forms for the turning o- er to the borough of Eighth St. from Huron Ave. to the top of the old Eighth St. bridge approach were executed.

King said he was first informed the lot was not large enough to meet the zoning code requirements, but was told later it was and that the hold-up actually was over building specifications. City Manager Frank L.

Taggart said it has been ascertained the lot does meet minimal requirements as set prior to the date the zoning ordinance went into effect. He said the only delay now is over a few dimensions to make sure the mobile home does meet the building code. He said the matter -from page 1 probably will be cleared up this week.

LOCK HAVEN The "no left turn" sign on Vesper St. at Willard Alley will be left in place for a one-month trial. City Council decided Monday night. Then there will be an evaluation by council to see whether the plan works to help alleviate traffic snarls occuring in use of Central Counties Bank's drive-in window in the alley.

Charles Grimm, senior vice president of the bank, (old council the bank's building committee has had several meetings since last Monday's council session. "We need this drive-in facility very much. The committee wanted a multi-story facility with offices (on Bellefonte Ave. I but they feel now that time is vital and we can't wait. They want to move quickly." Grimm said.

"It's very conceivable that we'll abandon plans for a multistory building because something less could be installed more quickly. There seems to be no real good solution to the (traffic) problem we have now. Some still ignore the sign," Grimm said. Council feels the three-day trial period last week was insufficient. Councilman Glenn R.

Tweed said: "The correction and improvement would be permanent. The inconvenience is temporary. I think we're nitpicking." While the plan is in effect, the bank as agreed to reimburse the city for revenue lost through the lack of the use of the parking meters on the east side of Vesper between Willard Alley and Church St. Seek come this weekend. Sen.

Philip A. Hart. a leader of the opposition, urged the Senate Monday not to be stampeded "under the triphammer pressure of the desire to adjourn." He said the stakes are high, involving the future of "our children and our constitutional system of government." He said Congress could afford to wait a few months for the Supreme Court to rule on pending cases. But Sen. John Stennis.

urging "full-time patrol" over what he termed "93 days of the year for hunting." said neither the manpower nor the money was available. Councilman Lipez said he felt Taggart was expecting the worse and that he saw no reason for increased patrol work. The question was raised whether the Pennsylvania Game Commission could include the watershed lands in their patrol area, having been excluded previously by the Commission because the land was private property before the Monday night decision. Water Department Superintendent Swope said the commission's patrols are all vehicular. Taggart commented that "we'll have to have people (patrol personnel) in the woods to make protection effective." Council disapproved the full-time foot patrol of the three watersheds, but went along with the other restrictions set forth two years ago by the Watershed Management Committee.

They are: Keeping closed the entire Castanea watershed, and the area below (north) of the Boyd R. Keller Reservoir to the -from page 1 have been given an opportunity to express themselves, they have voted thaUmsing should be stopped." "The time has come for the Senate to act decisively on this issue." he said. While Stennis said the bill would preserve neighborhood schools. Hart declared that "a neighborhood school can't be maintained if it violates the Constitution." He said the courts have found that in some cases school segregation can be rooted out only by busing. -from page 1 city boundary in the McElhattan watershed because the city's chlorination equipment is located there.

The adherence to 100-yard buffer zones (where no trespassing would be enforced) along all streams and around the reservoirs in the watershed land. The prohibiting of any hunting while contractors are at work in the watershed on maintenance or repair. No hunting permitted in open fields because of the extensive planting of seedlings. No hunting within 150 yards of any building or structure. No vehicular traffic of any kind to be allowed anywhere in the watershed.

Hunting shall be limited to the hours of 7a.m. and 5 p.m. Since the Southern Clinton County Sportsmen's Association was a strong force behind council's decision to open the land, the city manager was authorized to ask for the group's assistance on the sign posting. One of the association members had offered at a previous discussion to assist with this task. Swope said getting permanent, metal signs in sufficient quantity would require "four to six weeks." Councilman Tweed questioned the necessity of placing signs anywhere but around the reservoirs, since the Game Commission has no signs along streams where they flow into and out of the watershed.

This is but one of the problems left to the city manager to work out. Nixon -from page 1 that would authorize the President to recommend program cuts for a $250- billion limit but leave the final decision on whether to approve them to Congress. "This is the biggest assault a president has ever made in peacetime on the legislative authority of the Congress of the United States," Albert said. The cuts would trim the $256 million already approved by Congress. Other appropriations measures for the current year are pending.

But Nixon's advisers argued during Orndorf in December, 1970, to serve on the Central Regional Planning Council of the Governor's Justice Commission. Married in 1960 to the former Janice Frank, Orndorf is the father of two children, Jeffrey, 11, and David, 7. The Orndorfs are members of the Flemington Church of Christ. They live at 405 Irwin St. congressional hearings that Congress failed in past efforts to limit spending because its 535 members cannot agree on which programs to cut.

The President also personally urged congressional leaders at a regular meeting last week to accept his proposal, the White House aide told newsmen Monday. Further, he said, businessmen, particularly in homebuilding and related industries, lobbied congressmen in their districts across the country over the weekend to accept the President's proposal. -from page 1 A past president of Clinton Lodge 79, Fraternal Order of Police, Orndorf is a veteran of two years of military service.
