Classes, Talks Offered At State Museum HARRISBURG, Pa. A new series of Saturday morning classes for youth and adults and Wednesday afternoon "gallery talks" has been inaugurated ai the William Penn Memorial Mu seum here by The Pennsylvania 'Historical and Museum Conv mission. Nominal registration fees, which include costs of all materials used and field transportation, are required for all these activities except the Wednesday afternoon gallery talks. These talks, conducted by members of the museum's professional staff, begin at 1:30 p.m. and are open to the public, free of charge.

The program of Saturday classes and workshops for youth and adults gets underway on Saturday (9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.) and will continue through May 4, with 90-minute sessions 14 in all to be held every other Saturday morning at the same time. Three choices are offered here: "Family Adventures in Nature," conducted by Sam Hepford and Pearl Kent, is designed as a family activity, planned to interest both children and adults. The nature study course will feature projects in the museum galleries and field trips under the guidance of experienced leaders, plus appearances by special guests. Fee is $10 for adults, and $5 for children, for the full 14-session schedule.

Second choice is "Craft Sampler for Teens and Adults," a series designed to introduce older ycung people or adults to a variety of crafts -stained glass work, macrame, patchwork design, hand weaving, paper crafts, etc. Registration fee is $10. The third Saturday morning series of workshops is the unusual and exciting (also most practical, these days) "Survival and Rescue," conducted by Charles Peters. This course is based on the well-known "Hanger" training program of the Civil Air Patrol, in which emphasis is placed upon practical application of a knowledge of the woods and the development of related skills for survival or rescue in emergencies. These skills will be demonstrated in realistic situations, and on field trips.

Registration fee is $10. Registrations are now being accepted for the Winter Series of adult classes and workshops, to begin on Thursday, January 10. Each of the three classes will consist of 10 sessions, sched- duled for 1 to 3 o'clock every Thursday afternoon throug March 14. Choices for registrants will in dude: "Macrame," conducted THE GETTYSBURG TOIES, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, IMS to the ED1TOE October 14,1973 Dear Sir: For years now, I've watched Second Battle of Gettysbur being waged in the courts, in the press (both local and national) and, yes, even on the home fron --in the words and actions of local citizens. Up to now I've kep my opinion on the matter to my self, thinking that probably had teen voiced already (possibly in his column).

Miss Ketterer's letter in the Saturday, October 13, Times inally brought forth a reaction she wants to quote famous Arsons from the past on their lews of the subject, let her try get the words printed tha Tenny Wade spoke as she looked ut her window one morning am aw a garish, neon-lit, seven- tory altar to conventions am ourism. Or ask Miss Wade what he thinks now of strangers vandering through her house ai tours of the night and day me, could you tell me where the battlefield I bet Miss Ketterer woulc blush if she heard Generals Doubleday and Howard discuss their fruitless attempts to get some sleep under the mercury vapor lamps of Adams County Motors. I seriously doubt if either side would have held the town very long if they had to go through the square on a Saturday afternoon. I don't think General Lee ever heard of Col. Sanders and I doubt if Hardee's knows what hardtack is.

(If they did they might serve it.) In short, my dear Miss Ketterer and my fellow citizens of Gettysburg, just as we are far too late to stop the senseless destruction that occurred here more than 100 years ago, so is Patrick Henry, or for that matter. Mr. Lincoln (who probably didn't tip the waitresses at Rea and Derick's), too late to stop the senseless destruction, of which the "fee" tower is but a small part, that has gone on here for almost 100 years.

Shirley Howarth; an ancient ar form currently enjoying a new popularity, the finished produc has many practical applications to modern living. The course is designed to help the beginnei through a series of projects increasing difficulty. Registra tion fee is $15. "Basic Weaving a course designed for students with some experience in sim pie weaving. Here, they wil work with the popular Inkle Loom and have opportunities to experiment with color and pattern on it and also on the more complicated four-harness loom.

Registration fee is $10. "Sculpture," conducted by Margie Olster, also of the Museum staff. Development of basic skills and techniques in the creation of a clay replica of the human head is featured in this course. Emphasis will be on anatomy, proportion and facial structure, using oil-base clay molded to wooden armatures. Registration fee is $10.

The "Pastel Painting" course, likewise with a registration fee of $10 for the 10 sessions, will include instructions in various techniques as students work from still life setups and mounted specimens from the Museum's collections. It is designed for both beginners and more advanced students, and will be conducted by Stanley Patrilak. The free "gallery talks" program got underway this week, with subsequent sessions (all at 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays) set for October 24, November 7 and 21, December 5 and 19, January 9 and 23, February and 20, and March 6 and 20.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The 'enn Central Railroad has in- tiated a five-step action aimed at persuading federal author- ties to delay implementing strict safety standards. The financially ailing line, with one-fifth of its trackage considered unsafe, took immediate emergency steps Monday, hoping to postpone compliance with the regulations, which it -aid would cause a "catastrophic" stoppage of all its trains.

Federal regulations require rmoval of all substandard racks from operation beginning today. Penn Central, the nation's argest railroad, said 6,901 of ts 38,000 mile system were sub- tandard, mostly in branch secondary routes and ards. This track is considered unsafe to use even at speeds of ne mile an hour. HEARING TODAY Pending outcome of a hearing oday in Washington on a peti- on to temporarily exempt the arner from safety regulations ntil the end of 1974, Penn Cen- ral will: --Discontinue freight service a number of secondary nes. --Detour trains around some ections of substandard track.

--Provide proper supervision operating temporarily over ubstandard tracks as per- ntted by the new standards. --Suspend inter-city passen- er service on only one Amtrak rain, between Chicago and In- ianapolis. --Slow down service on three hiladelphia commuter lines. The railroad's court-appoint- trustees, supervising Penn entral's operation during a Vis-year federal bankruptcy effort, said it ould cost more than $49 mil- Cycle Driver Is Hurt In Crash A motorcyclist, Charles T. Baker 21, New Oxford, was admitted to the Hanover Hospital for treatment of an injury to his left foot suffered when his cycle crashed ino the rear of an automobile on Carlisle Hanover, Sunday evening at 6:14 o'clock.

According to Hanover police, Baker struck the rear of a car operated by Robert E. Jacoby, 17, Hanover, who was attempting a right turn, and that Baker failed to observe the turn signal. Baker was taken to the hospital in the Hanover Fire Co. ambulance. Damage to the cycle was $800 and to the car $400.

FEAR BLOCKADE "If the track were removed from operation, service wouk suffer," Penn Central said in it: petition to the Federal Railroad Administration asking for an exemption until Dec. 31, 1974.

"The general flow of traffic will be impeded to such an extent that a total blockade could occur within 48 hours. Penn Central has had two years to bring its track into safety compliance under a 1970 federal law. It blames its poor financial position and a shortage of railroad ties for its failure to meet the deadline to upgrade its deteriorating track. In its petition for temporary exemption, filed last week with the Federal Railroad Administration Penn Central said it needs 1,942,392 crossties and 98,171 switch timbers to bring the track up to the standards. "The present maintenance budget, while admittedly inadequate, is almost solely directed to maintain critical main lines," the railroad said, which includes the high-speed Metroliner route between Boston-New York and Washington.

Tea For Two And Philadelphia Wins PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadelphia beat Boston to the tea party, reenacting the Revolutionary War protest today as the kickoff of the 1976 Bicentennial celebration.

House Okays Training For Local Police HARRISBURG (AP)-A program to mandate state training for municipal police officers has won House approval and gone on to the Senate.

All city, borough, town, township and county policemen hired after the effective date of the legislation would be required to complete the training, to be alminlstered by the state police under guidelines established by a 17-member commission. The House passed the bill 1814 Monday, along with a 1500,000 appropriation to finance the program in its first year. A similar bill died in the last session of the legislature in a dispute over the state police commissioner's authority in the program. Under the bill, the commission would be responsible for establishing minimum courses of study and training for both new officers appointed after the act takes effect and those po- icemen currently serving on local police forces.

Hypertension Is Killer If Not Treated Nearly everyone has heard of the seven danger signals of cancer.

Not everyone is as familiar with some facts about a disease that afflicts more than 10 percent of the population- hypertension, better known as high blood pressure. Physicians have compiled a list of five facts that they feel could do much to guard Americans from the serious effects of untreated high blood pressure. Hopefully these five facts will become as familiar to people as the seven danger signals of cancer. The facts that everyone should know are: --Hypertension is a common "silent" health problem; many people are unaware that they have high blood pressure because they feel perfectly well. --Hypertension is a major cause of stroke, heart failure, and renal (kidney) failure, but these complications can be prevented with control of high blood pressure.

--Hypertension can usually not be cured and requires lifetime medical care. It can be controlled by taking medications daily as directed. --Those being treated for hypertension should take their medicine every day if they feel well. If they feel sick, they should check with their pphyicians. Anyone wiho is being treated or hypertension or who has ever been told that his blood pressure was high, should have checked frequently.

In men between 35 and 40 old, according to actuar- al data, the 20 year death rate is five times higher in hose with a blood pressure of 60-100 than in those with a pressure below 140-90. Hypertension is a silent klll- r. Remember these five facts, lave your blood pressure hecked regularly and follow physician's advice.
