1 mm --m SECOND Lccal Newt AUENTOWN, PA. Editorial SUNDAY, JULY 2, 1967 SECTION Motorists XL ft 7Y "mm July Fourth To Be Busy In Valley Fireworks Show In ASD Stadium Set for Tonight Whether you are already enjoying an extra long July 4 vacation or whether your Independence Day I-holiday will be only Tuesday itself, you are urged to make this summer holiday the safest in history. Traffic on area highways was heavy Friday night and was the same yesterday and Jast night. Judging from thatN flow it seemed many Lehigh Valley residents were getting an early start on a long weekend. Some, too, were leaving on a week or two-week vacations, for several valley industries schedule their vacation periods to include July 4.

Those staying at home, however, apparently those workers who will be back at work tomorrow and then have only a one day holiday, will have a variety of fine entertainment depending upon weather conditions, in their own communities. Fireworks Tonight Tonight, for example, one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the valley will be set off at the Allentown School District Stadium. Weather conditions today should be favorable, with a high temperature in the upper 80s, but there is a chance of thundershowers, unfortunately, tonight. The rain date is Monday. The outlook for Tuesday is for fair weather, too, although the weatherman said he couldn't really guarantee holiday type weather for Tuesday this far in advance.

Short of rain, however, it is a safe bet that parks and swimming pools and back yards will be thronged with men, women and children on Tuesday. Some communities, like Cata-sauqua, are preparing a day of public entertainment for the Independence Day celebration. The Lehigh County borough will hold the second of its "Old Time Fourth of July" programs. Most of the activities will be at the Catasauqua park, playground and pool and they will begin with a flag raising at 10 a.m. There will be a baby parade, games for youngsters, high school band music, sports, a fire fighting, demonstration PlaySafe In Valley Traffic Heavy But Accidents Reported Few Judging by the scarcity of traffic accident reports in the Lehigh Valley area yesterday, one would think that drivers are paying a lot more heed to those warnings Issued before every Fourth of July week- end by the National Safety Council.

'State police substations reported relatively few crashes despite heavy traffic on the main highways through the day. But the flow tapered off quickly after dark and traffic en many of the main arteries drooped to normal levels. Trooper's Views "You could almost walk the 'pike said a trooper at the Conshohocken substation. "Everybody seems to have ar- rived where they were going." Holiday-bound motorists had jammed the Turnpike during the morning and afternoon, and traffic on the Lehigh Valley Thruway was also reported as very heavy. Police appeared to agree that motorists were driving defensively and remaining within the posted speed limits.

"Actually, the roads were so crowded today they couldn't do much else," commented a trooper. Bucks Accident Four young persons from Bucks County were injured in an accident in Plumstead Township about 4:35 p.m., state police at the Warrington substation reported. Admitted to Doylestown Hospital for observation were Jim-mie Cooper, 21, and Barbara Croman, 19, both of Doylestown. He received multiple cuts and scrapes and she was treated for shock. Carol Schrantz, 23, of Garden ville had a fractured collarbone and multiple cuts.

She was admitted to the hospital in fair condition. Treated and released for cuts of the right cheek and ear was Walter Werkheiser, 17, of Plumsteadville. Intersection Mishap "State police at the Warrington substation said the car was involved in an accident at Stump Road and Smith's Cor- ner. Details were not immediately available.

The cast is made up of pupils at the school. The production is given a considerable boost by the music for horn, piano and bass composed by Glen Morgan, an instructor at Lycoming College. It is a simple yet lively music which manages to suggest the past while making use of modern musical rhythm and tonality.

By mid afternoon the lines at the more popular family-style dinner tents such as the Zion's Women's Guild from Windser Castle began to lengthen, forcing the hungry visitors to wait as long as an hour to get their teeth into the Fasnachts or the Milich Flitche. For those who liked what they tasted, there were Pennsylvania Dutch recipe books on sale.

20,000 Attend The first-day attendance at the folk festival was estimated at roughly 20,000. Some 40 buses from Baltimore, Washington, Long Island and other points in the East unloaded throngs of persons curious about the ways of the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch.

He said he would let the jurors know by mail this week when they were to return to the courthouse in Eas-ton. The jury had been expected all week to present another interim report to the court on its lengthy investigation. Two earlier reports have resulted in the arrests of 14 persons on gambling charges. No Formal Report But no formal report appeared to be ready yesterday.

Observers speculated that the other jurors had empowered foreman Ellwood R. Morris to prepare the report without further consultation with them. Morris and Malos retired to the district attorney's basement office after, testimony ended about 3:30 p.m. Final witness for the day, Mrs. Margaret D'Agostino, of Ravena Street, Bethlehem, spent the longest time in the Grand Jury Room.

Cases with public defender representation went from 171 in the first six months of 1966 to 228 in the first six months of 1967 while the total cases on the trial list increased from 711 to 714 in the same periods of comparison.

Peaceful Area That quiet cemetery is a far cry from the noise and glare of publicity which has accompanied Miss Mansfield during her career bringing with them troubles which continued to plague the actress even after death. The arrival of the 34-year-old goddess's body in Pen Argyl yesterday at 5 p.m. was firee of publicity. There were no spectators, although earlier yesterday some curious visitors were at the funeral home and wandering around the cemetery.

Is Home' That quiet, arrival in the town in which Miss Mansfield lived seemed out of character: The funeral arrangements, reached by Mickey Hargitay, the second of her three husbands, and her mother, Mrs.

Harry Peers of Dallas, also may strike many persons as out of character. Her third husband, Matt Cimber, claimed Miss Mansfield would not have wanted a quiet funeral. Liked Publicity "She liked a lot of publicity and she should be allowed to be buried that way," he said. "I know, she would have wanted a Hollywood funeral in a grand manner. No one loved Hollywood any more than she did." A New Orleans judge gave Continued on Page B-2, Col.

PLANE Elmer Brocious, 49, of 1986 S. Delaware Allentown, smiled and nodded his head last night when his wife, Fern, said the ham they won at the Fairview Fire Co. six years ago was "the most exciting thing we ever won." This was a surprising statement since the couple had just won $140,000 in the Irish Sweepstakes Derby. "I guess that's because I still can't believe it," Mrs. Brocious said.

"Oh, I believe it," Elmer Brocious admitted. He said, however, that his only plans were to contact his bank to find out how to collect the money. Horse Named Ribocco On Thursday, Brocious received official notification that his horse in the Irish Sweepstakes Derby would be Ribocco. That entitled him to a little more than $1,000 even if the horse were scratched. Friday evening he told his wife, "If the well wishes of the fellows at the plant means anything, we'll win for sure." Yesterday Ribocco led the field to bring $140,000 to Brocious and 12 other Americans.

Brocious has been an employe of Mack Trucks for the past 30 years except for his military service. He was stationed in Alaska during World War II. Doesn't Plan Changes Winning the race will mean no significant change i to the Brocious family. Their only dependent is Mrs. Brocious' mother, Bessie Fisher, 75, who lives with them.
