Gentlemen: Referring to the article carried In Saturday morning's and afternoon papers concerning the Electric Auto-Lite Co. plant which stated that Attorney Rocco C. Falvello of this city was authorized by the plumbers union and the journeymen plumbers to file suit regarding the installation of terra cotta and concrete pipe, I take this means to inform you and the general public that Local Union 425 Plumbers and Steamfitters of Hazleton who have jurisdiction over this job have not authorized any one to act in this manner. Any steps taken in that direction are being taken by certain individuals and not by this local union. The whole question involved hinges on the plumbing code that our city seems lax about enforcing.

Neither the local union Executive Board or general member-. ship has been contacted in re-" gards to this question and with-out some authority from these bodies, no one has the authority to authorize any one to act in our behalf or start proceedings of any nature. Very Truly Yours, Cletus Quinn, Pres. 425. I SISgt.

John M. Mulreaney Michael, Emma, Verna and Gloria, all of Hollywood.

and in addition has furnished 10 sets of Pennsylvania bird charts for placing in cottages and classrooms. The Butler Valley club's flock is in charge of Kenneth Betterly and the Sugarloaf club's project is directed by George Ernst. Last year 80,000 chicks were distributed and, under revised regulations, 72 were raised to 12 weeks of age, an increase of 14 over the previous year. Game officials also stated that the mature pheasants raised by sportsmen and coopera-tors in the farm-game program last year (were of much higher quality than in previous years. Whey attribute this success to the high protein mash furnished and the additional holding pen space required per chick.

The Commission furnished five pounds of pheas ant starting mash for each chick, and offers close assistance through its propagation experts and local game portectors. Game officials pointed out that all chicks hatched on the game farms have been toe punched. In 1947 the hole was punched on the right web of the right foot, and this year the left web of the right foot. The toe-punching does not hurt nor injure the bird and enables Commission experts to determine stocking success.
