SECOND Bethlehem Planners Question Need For West Side Commercial Venture i Power Plant Tours Set May 18-19 Metropolitan Edison Co's gen They were told by W. W. Mac Vicar, chairman, that "your first hump is why rezone it at all?" Member Preston Parr added, "Is it needed here?" Kennedy has said he has "in though undeveloped, is across the street. There's a department store nearby. And there's a big shopping center on the West Side, it was pointed out.

At any rate, the first step for such a move is to present a request for rezoning from Residential to C-P 2. The councilmanic gallery is the proper arena for it, and Kennedy The general idea of the preliminary plan appeared to be all right to the commission. The big question to the members was: "Is this the best use for the land?" Paglia's projection showed an idea of what kind of service outlets could be located there. Included were a professional building, the smaller type drug store, barber and hairdresser shops. The buildings would encompass 25,500 square feet of the lot area and there would be 177 spaces for parking.

A planting screen of a 25-foot depth would protect much of the abutting residential area from the commercial site. "We would like a park like atmosphere," Kennedy and Paglia said. "We feel something like this will complete the By KATE ZOLL LAEPPLE A concept of how a neighbor hood service center could aesthet ically fit into the Catapenn Park area of West Bethlehem was shown to the Planning Commission yesterday. Frank Kennedy of Suburban Really and Lawrence Paglia of Wheelwright, Stevenson and Lan-gran, landscape architects of Philadelphia, presented their ideas for development of the 3.8-acre tract at Pennsylania and Catasauqua avenues for study purposes only. The commission, although see ing little wrong witn tne plan shown it, indicated it is reluctant to approve a change in zoning.

It may think differently, how- eer, if the project's planners can provide convincing proof that there's a need for the venture. A planned commercial zone, al pictured at Forks Twp. THE MORNING CALL, Allentown, Thursday, May 9, 1963 39 Civil Service Issue Spurs Question of Mayoralty Power Councilman Elaine H. Meilicke stated yesterday her belief that Bethlehem must preserve "what the people ask for strong mayor government." She said she's not disputing the personal opinion of Councilman Raymond Dietz about "illegal" Civil Service procedures. That's up to the study committee and the city's legal consultants to ascertain, she declared.

performance goers Find of Thrills But the audience was never more quiet than when the three Jordans climbed to a taut wire high above. The young girl member of the troupe attracts one's attention. She is 18-year-old Carla Wallenda. Wearing red tights, she stands out against the white canvas. She lowers herself into a chair suspended on the shoulders of two male companions.

They carry her to the middle of the wire. The circus sounds stop. One remembers her as being of the world famous, disaster-stricken Wallenda troupe. Since last year three members of her family have btfen killed while performing. The wire tightens, the Jordans edge their way to a safe, steady platform.

One waits breathlessly Maybe it's the suspense that makes a circus. Services Discussed Areas of cooperation among the five colleges and universities of the Lehigh Valley with particular emphasis on services available to counselors, parents and candi dates were described by directors of admission of five colleges at a meeting of the Lehigh Vallev Guidance Association last night in the Lehigh University Center. Participating in the symposium on "Current Practices in College Admissions" were Mary Rose McWilliams of Cedar Crest Col lege; Gary of Lafayette College; Samuel Missimer, Lehigh University; Samuel Kilpat rick, Moravian College, and Har ry Benfer, Muhlenberg College. "He could possibly be right," she believe in Civil Service. These said.

Mrs. Meilicke had asked Tues- if hiring would again fall day night why more than half ofin council's hands, would we not the city employes (under faiiins acain into the old form Out Lawsuit, said the proposal will be taken there as soon as possible. Both Kennedy and Paglia seemed sure they can provide the facts and figures to substantiate their contention that a cluser of neighborhood service stores, including a bank, would be desirable for the area and for Bethlehem's economy. 'Appropirate' to Area They said the scope and scale of the project is "appropriate to the neighborhood." explosive interpretation of the; law) should be subject to City Council.

She implied she would not condone a diminishing of power of the mayor under government the people asked for. "The mayor should have power to hire. Period. Council is a legislative group. We have the right to leigslatively watch his actions.

I do not dispute the law. I firm of government," shea sked. Mrs. Meilicke had served on the charter commission which had recommended the mayor council plan. She, and most of the members of council, had openly supported it, as was evident, she said, in the adoption of the city's administrative code.

She made it plain she concurred with Dietz there should be Civil Service rules and regulations. She said she will be an active supporter in having them. Dietz strongly recommended this Tuesday night. Regulations, Dietz said, are his prime concern. Action towards getting modern rules is apparent.

The application of at least "outmoded" Civil Service procedures has continued for a long while. Mrs. Meilicke suggested there should be some legislative action on a state level .0 fit Bethlehem's new form of government. It is her opinion there should be complete protection for Civil Service employes, but that the bulk of the city working force should be a moyoralty perogative to deal with. "What will we gain with a list 'of employes) presented to council? "Let's try to get something on the books that fits our new government.

That's where a concentrated effort belongs. Let's make sure we have mayor and council government, preserve our employes' rights and get what everyone wants." She said when the Civil Service law was passed all cities were bound to a commission government. Where the law refers to council at that time, many years ago, council was both administrative and legislative. "It isn't so in Bethlehem today. This is what the people didn't want." Dietz is chairman of the councilmanic committee assigned to public safety.

Most Civil Service employes are in this category. This committee will study the Civ il Service problem. Mrs. Meilicke and Councilman Paul J. Jani are members.

Solicitor Thomas E. Butterfield has stated a broad interpretation of Dictz's opinion would mean Bethlehem would not have any Civil Service employes on its payroll. Butterfield disagrees. Jani said Tuesday he is well aware of the problem. He was the councilman, under the commission form, challenged about promotions in the fire department.

Pfizer Officials End 2-Daij Tour At Easton Plant Officials of Chas. Pfizer completed a two-day inspection tour of subsidary facilities in Easton yesterday. Headed by John E. McKeen, president and board chairman, the New York City delegation visited C. K.

Mrs. Mary 'Reed) formerly of Hellertown, died i Tuesday in the Waite i Already Paid Forks Circus Big Top Full By BOB SALITZA There's something about a circus. Maybe it's the big top flapping beneath the wind. Or the cotton candy, ballons and paper cones filled with colored ice. Or the bigness of it all.

Maybe it's a frightened little girl crying in your ear a child that was one of many who came to the Forks Township Fire Co. grounds yesterday to watch the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus. The incomparable Beatty was in the center arena doing battle with a cageful of black-maned Numidian lions and Royal Bengal tigers. Chair and cracking whip in hand, he made the growling animals leap obstacles, beg and go into dizzying spins.

Beatty was the star of two shows sponsored yesterday afternoon and last night by the Forks Township Volunteer Fire Dept. While he performed a sense of high adventure filled the canvas-topped theater, one forgot for 15 frightening minutes the problems left outside. Between the antics of many clowns, there were other breath-arresting acts which, combined, make up "the largest tented cir cus in the world." From a high, swinging trapeze Greta Frisk, blond haired im port from Sweden, spun to the ground at a speed the barker claims is faster than that of sound. Somehow one doesn't mind that the twirling, twisting descent is considerably slower moving than the voice of a nearby hot dog vendor. DANCING WIZARDS Los Latinos, the Latins from Spain, perform dancing wizardry on the tight wire.

The male member of the team brings laughter from the crowd as he dashes across his precarious path carrying a basket on each foot. In the background the bright uniformed brass band plays "A-Tisket, A-Taskit." Perhaps the most unique performance of all comes from Olga Rigel, a tiny Korean beauty who does a virtual strip tease while suspended from a hooked cable-by her hair The Great Huberto, long time Hollywood stuntman, climbs a tight rope to the dome of the big top then slides down standing backwards.

A public tour of the installation has been set up between 1 and 5 p.m. The above days, W. R. Sny der, company president, said. The plant, which produces enough power to supply the average electrical needs of 400,000 homes for a year, is the largest the M.E.

District Clubmen Hold Parley "Building Roads for Tomorrow" was the theme of three speakers at the annual District 4 Exchange Club dinner and intraining workshop held last night. More than 120 delegates from 12 clubs in the district attended the dinner in the Blue Valley Farm Show Building along the Bangor-Pen Argyl Highway.

Raymond Frye, Palmerton, spoke on organization of a Junior Exchange Club; Clarence Reich-ard, Allentown, national regional vice president, "Procedure in Forming New Clubs;" and Harry Graybill, York, past state president, "Your Responsibility to Your Club and the Community." Karl Kratzer, North Catasauqua, district governor, conducted the meeting. Greetings from the state president were brought by Atty. Harry C. Stitt Jr. of West York.

Greetings were also given by Arthur Baker, president of the host Bangor club. Entertainment was provided by Linda Lang and Bruce Lohman, pianists, and Kathy Wallwork, vocalist, all of Bangor Area High School. I Judge Rules Says $3.71 PHILADELPHIA 11 Atty. Bernard N. Katz, basing h'is legal action on principle not money, filed suit to collect $3.71 for a union client.

He also asked for counsel fees of $1,250 from Penn-Dixie Cement Nazareth, because he said it forced him to go to court. U.S. District Judge Ralph C. Body reviewed the facts and found that Katz and his client, Buffalo Local 84 of the United Cement, Lime and Gypsum Workers, were wrong that the $3.71 ments for use of the park tennis courts. The board also announced plans to distribute literature explaining the merits of union affiliation compared to jointure.

The question of union between Wilson and West Easton will appear on the May 21 primary election ballot. It was planned to mail the literature to Wilson and West Easton residents on Tuesday or Wednes day preceding the primary election. Bills totaling $51,798.77 were approved for payment. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $74,560.53. Unit Edward Heilman will speak on "Building a Natural Gift Art Talent." Classroom visitation will be conducted from 7:30 7:45 p.m.

Mrs. F.J. Gergits Dies in Hospital Mrs. Tillie T.

Gergits of 727 Dewey Northampton, wife of Frank J. Gergits, died last night at Allentown Hospital. She was 76. Born in Lebanon County, she was a daughter of the late Jacob and Sarah (Rissmiller) Teeple. Mrs.

Gergits resided in Northampton 65 years. She was a member of the Lu theran Church of the Holy Trin ity, Northampton.

Broad Street and 5th Avenue. It now has its headquarters at 619 Main St. Douglas Paul and Rollin R. Keim, the latter representing the association, appeared before the commission for approval of a sub division of the Paul property which would give the building and loan concern 100 foot frontage while Paul would retain the remaining 69 feet for its operation. But the idea would constitute a substandard subdivision, par ticularly because of off street parking.

The commission suggested both parties work out some harmonious arrangement and return with the proposal. Central Park Plan Approved The street pattern for the development of Central Park by William Cass was approved. It calls for the extension of Florence Avenue across the Allentown Bethlehem city line to link with Wahneta Street in Allentown. A decision about a proposed width for Dewberry Avenue in the North Side was not made pending a conference among all parties concerned. Residents are seeking a narrower road.

The street would have an 80 foot right-of-way. Whether 60 feet of paving is or is not required is questioned. Entire Area Noted Acting City Planner Claude Peters said it is necessary to consider the entire area as a whole before the commission rules. A new Catholic high school will locate nearby and will need space for loading and unloading of school buses. Referred to Peters for study was the Rubel Street case, parallel to Main Street, which has a problem about its future look.

Buildings on it have given way to redevelopment. Councilman Robert E. Miller broached the problem at Tuesday night's City Council meeting. The commission gave preliminary approval of the North Pine Top subdivision of Atty. Ellwood D.

Shimer and section 4 of Brentwood, the property of Harold Dieterly. Builder Louis Szmodis was given approval to resubdivide two lots fronting Stefko Boulevard, between Glenmere and Glenwood streets, because the diea would improve the neighborhood.

Thomas Kubelius yester- jsjons But under present zoning 'provisions, "it would have to be turned down because it does not meet space requirements, Chair- The idea is to place a home of some 90 beds on an acre of ground. It was indicated yesterday if Kubelius wants an immediate answer, the project would legally have to be denied.

However, Kubelius will be told he can state his view at the next meeting of the commission on May 22, or thereafter. He has an alternative, the commission said wait for completion of zoning study. Nazareth Starts Reservoir Work Water pressure in the Nazareth area is below normal and will be for the next 30 days as improvements are made to the W. High Street reservoir. Officials of the Blue Mountain Consolidated Water Nazareth, said planned enlargement of the reservoir will result in a 30 per cent capacity increase.

The reservoir was emptied last Friday and the present source of water is the Stoney Garden Reservoir, north of Wind Gap. Area residents have been requested by George Markovci, general manager of the water company, to conserve water during the period. Bodley said most of the $76,000 is listed for costs of "planning and programming" which he said could better be handled by the county's planning commission. He said he also to an allocation of $7,000 for various educational trips. "I consider urban renewal; a useful tool in urban centers.

It may even be useful in isolated instances in Bucks County." He said he objected, however, to Walker and Murray "using the taxpayers dollar to sell its (the commission's) services all over our county." Fritz, who attended the session, was barred from speaking by the local chairman, Thomas Gallagher. Fritz said later he had no immediate comment.
