Lewis announced thai from the crowd. He explained how the gift of Ferncliff Park from late Edgar J. Kaufmann of Pittsburgh in 1951 started the Cons'ervancy on its program in Fayeile County. He said he envisions a constantly growing Keister Park which will draw sportsmen and nature lovers from hundreds of miles. He commended the various individuals and firms which have had roles in the creation of the Ohiopyle recreational area.

They include Donald C. Keisler of Scottdale and Mrs. John W. Ischy of Windexmere. Fla.

members of the Keister family, who gave land: the West Penn Power which gave a half-mile of river frontage opposite Ferncliff Park, and the A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust, which supplied a SIOO.OOO grant. Mrs. Keister in her response said she and her family- countec i( a privilege lo work with the Conservancy.

She bestowed on Dr. Lewis the title of "Laureate" of the new park "because laurel is (he flower of victory and Dr. Lewis has been victorious in every way in bringing the park into being." The Rev. Xed Maes, pastor of Falls Creek Baptist Church, Ohiopyle, gave the invocation. After the dedication, two of Mrs.

Keisler's grandchildren Margaret Keisler Ralcliffe and Carol Keister Semple, cut ribbons opening nature trails along Cucumber Run and the Great Gorge. Following Ihe dedicatory services, shuttle buses hauled visitors to Tharp Knob, where they were able to survey impressive Yough- iogheny Gorge. From Tnarp Knob they were able to see Ihe winding river, rugged valleys and wooded mountains between Cucumber Run and Jonathan Run. This is Ihe area which caused stir last summer when a strip mine operator cut into a flooded deep mine and a stream of highly acid water flowed down Cucumber Run into the Youghiogheny River. Dedication of the new park highlighted the annual twoday outing of Ihe Conservancy held Salurday and Sunday at Ohiopyle.

ANNEXATION (Continue PJJJ The judge said lhal the con- elusion of Ihe courl was that the annexation would serve the public interest, thus rejecting Ihe supervisors' contentions. Judge Munson also ordered that the rity of Uniontown pay South Union Twp. the sum of S527.68 with interest from Dec. 29. This represents 1.27 per cent of the South Union total indebted ness as of Dec.

31. S41.M9.83. The judge said that annexation requires adjustment of the indebtedness, and since the properties involved represent 1.27 per cent of the assessed valuation of the township, then Ihe city must pay that same percentage of Ihe debt upon taking them away from South Union. and Independence Hall in Philadelphia do in lhe central and astern parts.

As he has on several other occasions. Dr. Goddard stressed that Lick HrJllow is not suitable as a slate park because it doesn't have enough water. "I don't want you to get the idea," he told the reporter, "(hat Lick Hollow is unimportant. is quite important in our overall recreational plans but it just isn't suitable for a stale park." Dr.

Goddard had little to say about the renovation of Wharton Furnace beyond announcing that the budget contains 515,000 for the purpose, but from another source it was unofficially learned over the weekend lhat present plans call for the job to be completed by early fall and for the old landmark to be dedicated some time in October.
