E. Brenneman general contractor, and Envirotech, sub-contractor and major equipment-supplier. Work on the plant halted last October when the authority declared Brenneman in default of contract. Under the agreement, the authority reinstates Brenneman as general contractor for the treatment plant and resumes the original contract.

The default, declared after three months of difficulties with the two contractors, is rescinded when the agreement takes effect. Brenneman also will resume its contract with Envirotech, who walked off the job in August when financial disputes with the general contractor erupted. A contract will go into effect between the two contractors. Adinolfi hoped construction on the plant could begin May 1, but before the two contractors can return to the job site, the agreement must win the approval of the federal Eviron-mental Protection Agency and U.S. Middle District Justice R.

I have tried to live up to this resolution in my 10 years as your Congressman. Adopted by the House of Representatives ob April 3, 1968 H. Res 1099 90th Congress 2d Session CODE OF OFFICIAL CONDUCT United States House of Representatives I.

The economy's performance in the first quarter of 1976 was better than most experts had predicted and all signs point to a continuing, steady recovery. One of the key indicators of how our economy is doing is the employment situation. The unemployment rate in February dropped to 7.6 per cent. This was down from 7.8 per cent in January, 8.3 per cent in December and 8.6 per cent in October.

The steady decline in the unemployment rolls over a four-month period is proof that we are pulling out of the recent recession. More detailed figures who that the unemployment rate among adult men fell from 5.8 per cent in January to 5.1 per cent in February. Unemployment among adult women remained unchanged at 7.5 per cent. Among heads of households (family breadwinners) the unemployment rate dropped from 5.1 per cent in January to 4.9 per cent in February. Hiring by factories in January was up 16 per cent over December, 1975 figures.

I think we would all agree that our unemployment rate is still too high; however, progress is being made and more people are going back to work. The outlook on prices also has been much brighter. Wholesale prices declined by one-half per cent in January. Consumer prices continued to go up in January but a' slower rate than in pevious months. Most food and fuel prices dropped in January but the price of services went up about one per cent.

The change order for modification of the treatment desiP" must be approved by the state Department of Environmental Resources (DER) before the agreement can go any further.

DER has "informally indicated they have no objections" to the change order, which provides for the inclusion of a biological step in the original physical-chemical design. The alteration was proposed as an energy-saving device that authority officials say will save S200.000 per year. DER approval of the change order will send the agreement to the federal EPA which also "verbally tell us they have no objections to the agreement," according to Adinolfi. Judge Herman will be the last government official to review the document. His determination will come only after the EPA approval.

Before Herman can act, he must be sure the change order does not violate any federal EPA rules and regulations, Adinolfi said. When final approval comes from the three government bodies, Brenneman must begin work within five days, the agreement says. It also binds Brenneman to complete the plant within a year of the effective date. Need Leaders For Sewing Club Tentative plans are being made to start a 4-H Sewing Club in Conewago Township. Mrs.

David Coble. Hershey RD 1, announced a club may be formed for boys and girls ages 8 to 10. The club disbanded about two years ago, due to the lack of leadership. Since the group has seven sewing machines, plans are being made to reorganize a sewing club. However, Sylvia Coble added, that if the children would not be interested in sewing, perhaps a cooking or snack club could be formed.

Leaders are needed to get the program underway. Adults who are willing to help with weekly meetings at the Conewago Elementary School should phone Mrs. Coble at 367-3283. A reluctant suitor who finally proposed admitted to a friend that he wasn't really in love with his bride-to-be. "But if you don't like the girl why ask her to marry you?" the friend asked.

"Because," the young man replied, "her family has been very nice to me, and it's the only way I can repay them."
