(Continued From Page 1) north of the first underpass of the Lemoyne "bottleneck." Thousands of West Shore commuters coming to Harrisburg stopped at the scene delaying highway traffic. Fire Extinguished Shortly after the pileup fire was discovered in the wrecked, cabin car. The Washington Fire Company from Harrisburg and the Good Will from Wormleysburg were summoned and extinguished the blaze before serious damage resulted. Miraculous Escape McConnell's escape from fatal injuries was considered almost miraculous by fellow railroad employes He was riding in the cabin car of the stopped train and was alone He was returning from Lancaster, where he had completed a run, to his home in Marysville. Back of the cabin car in which he was riding was a pusher engine, No.

714. Engine No. 6750 of the Baltimore train crashed into the coal tender attached to No. 714. The force of the crash shot the cabin car over the top of engine No.

714, splintering the caboose. But Mcconneii escaped with a broken leg and was able to extricate himself from the wreckage unassisted. One freight car in front of the cabin was damaged. Twenty one freight cars of the, Baltimore train were wrecked. Most of them were hurled down the embankment toward the highway between the two cross river traffic bridges.

Others were scattered over the tracks completely blocking the rails south of the Enola yards for hours. Defective Coupling Railroad officials said the first train, a mixed freight made up of eighty rune cars, had stopped for about ten minutes south of GS tower. A defective coupling had been discovered, it was said, and an inspection was being made of it before the train proceeded into the classification yards. This train was from the Philadelphia Division, having crossed to the west side of the Susquehanna at Columbia. G.

E. Dank, Lancaster, flagman of the train, is said to have proceeded to the rear and had passed the pusher engine, but as he was going down the track the Baltimore to Enola train of eighty six cars, drawn by Engine No. 6750, passed. Dense Fog Official investigation ig being made of these reports. Dense fog was blamed for obscuring signals for the train from Baltimore.

Greenawalt was the engineman, Hable the fireman on the pusher engine No. 714 attached to the rear of the Philadelphia Division train. Crouse was the engineman and Lightner the fireman on Engine No. 6750 of the Baltimore to Enola train. Five of the wrecked cars con tained merchandise including shoes, dry goods and carpets.

These cars were not shattered but several empty cars near the front of the train were ripped from their wheel trucks. Enola, Marysville and Columbia crews were called to clear the wreckage. Fast freight was re routed over the Rockville bridge through Harrisburg. J. s.

Peoples, Philadelphia Division freight trainmaster, was in charge of clearing the wreck. Storm, who resides at 52 Argyle street, was driving to work, and was the first person to reach the scene. Hears Crash "I heard the crash," said Storm. "There was an unusually heavy fog and I could not see very well. I went over to the railroad embankment and saw that it was a pretty bad wreck.

Then I looked up and through the mist saw a man crawl Congratulations to a Thrifty Community At the close of business yesterday, the books of Dauphin Deposit Trust Company showed Savings Deposits totaling over Five Million Dollars. This does not include Certificates of Deposit or Club Accounts. THIS IS A RECORD which has never been equalled in all the 101 years since DAUPHIN DEPOSIT was established as the Harrisburg Savings Institution. These Five Million Dollars belong to more than 8600 depositors, so that the average Account exceeds $500.00. Thrift is very properly regarded as a hall mark of good citizenship.

A community where thrift is the rule has every reason for pride in the sound common sense of its people. DAUPHIN DEPOSIT is grateful for the privi. lege of serving so many thousands of the men and women who make the Harrisburg district a good place to live.

MYERS Located on the west end of the 8 SATURDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 14, 1936 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CONTROL BOARD AGAIN TO REVISE MM REGULATIONS No Indication Given at Series of Hearings as to New Rules Pennsylvania's milk regulations, revised a month ago, will be changed again "within two or three weeks," the Milk Control Board announced at the conclusion of a series of hearings.

No Indication was given of the changes contemplated. The board increased prices both to consumers and producers on October 12 and made other changes in the regulations governing the dairy industry. Hearings were held in Altoona, Philadelphia and Harris burg this week to obtain views of producers and dealers on the effect of the order which increased the retail price 2 cents a quart in Harrisburg and 1 cent through the rest of the State. Harry Tevis, director of the Milk Drivers and Dairy Employes Union of Pittsburgh, at the concluding hearing yesterday offered the serv ices of 1700 organized milkmen in enforcing the board's regulations. Tevis told the board the driv ers and other employes would be "natural patrolmen" since they were interested in preserving price schedules.

Howard G. Eisaman, chairman of the board, thought it was a "good Idea" and Indicated the board eventually would adopt it. Dealers Protest Milk dealers asked the board to lower the price paid to farmers, claiming the producers received too much of the recent price increase. Representatives of chain stores asked the board to extend throughout the State a provision permitting "cash and carry" stores in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to sell milk 1 cent below the price charged for door delivery. Dealers opposed extension of the 1 cent differential.

And here one cannot speak so dogmatically as one can in saying that on money and the tariff the official spokesmen are thoroughly outmoded. But one can say that modern economic analysis indicates very strongly that depressions are generated by some kind of failure on the part of expenditure for consumption and for capital to keep pace with savings. If this is true, it is as important as it is novel. The analysis is not certain or altogether clear and all that I should venture to say about it for the present is that business men who wish to understand the future will do well to study this problem carefully and sympathetically More and more in their daily af fairs they will meet measures in PREPARE For a Better Position by Attending lftn( School STUDENTS MAY ENTER ANY MONDAY EVENING CENTRAL PENNA.
