FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Dafa Processing at Vo-Tech School The data processing department at the North Fayette Area Vocational Technical School in Connellsville offers daytime students courses in keypunch, computer operation and computer programming. The programming course centers around Father Steals Siamese Twin To Block Foster Home Order WICHITA, Kan. UPI) William Gates worked as a janitor in the hospital where doctors successfully separated his Siamese twin daughters. Nurses said he visited the children two or three times a day and was especially fond of the twin named Millie Lulu.

Gates, 20, told nurses Thursday he wanted to see the 3-month-old girls one more time before they were placed in a foster home by court order. But when a security guard went to answer a telephone page Gates grabbed Millie Lulu, outran several nurses and fled from the hospital. Woman Hospitalized After One-Auto Crash Near Dunbar Carol Rae Maddas, 24, of Bryson Hill, Dunbar, was admitted to Uniontown Hospital in satisfactory condition at 2:25 p.m. Thursday after her car overturned on L.R. 26195, Dunbar Township, almost a mile west of the borough of Dunbar.

According to State Police at Gaddis Crossroads station the Maddas car was headed east toward Dunbar when it was forced of the roadway by an unknown car traveling in a westerly direction. The Maddas car went off the road on to the berm, went out of control, crossed the center line and hit a dirt embankment, rolling over on its top, police said. Damage to the car was estimated by troopers at $2,500. The accident occurred about 1:35 p.m. Autns Collide Damages totalled an estimated $375 when two autos collided on Everson Street, Upper Tyrone Township at 7:20 p.m.

Thursday, troopers said. Drivers involved were identified by State Police as Frank Conyette, 53, of Scottdale and Joseph Shaffer, 24, of Mount Pleasant. There were no Injuries reported. Limestone Hill A one-car accident on Rte. 201, Limestone Hill, resulted in a minor injury to an area woman.

Sue Renze, 69, of Connellsville, R. D. 1, was treated for a hand injury in Connellsville State General Hospital at 7:20 p.m. Thursday. No other details of the highway mishap were available.

Skidding Accident At 12:30 a.m. today an auto driven by Michelle Keslar, 18, of Normalvffle, Star Route, skidded on an icy spot on Rte. 711, north of Indian Head, and hit an embankment. There were no injuries, but damage to the Keslar auto was estimated by troopers at $300. Police said today they have no leads in the case.

A man claiming to be Gates telephoned the Wichita Eagle newspaper Thursday night, but hung up before he could be questioned. "They are taking the twins because of race," the man said. Gates is black and his wife is Mexican-American. A court had ordered Millie Lulu and Anna Marie placed in a foster home after an investigation showed Gates and his wife Ruth, 32, had an infant son taken from their custody in August because they failed to give the boy, now 16 months old, proper care. Officials said Cates used his knowledge of the hospital to escape down two flights of stairs.

"He knew where those stairs were. They were fire stairs. You can go down them, but you can't go up," said hospital spokesman Jim Reed. Police found Gates' abandoned car near the home of a relative about an hour after he fled the hospital. The house was searched but Cates and his daughter were not found.

"This is not a case of kidnaping. It's an interference with parental care and custody," said Capt. Bill Hannon. The babies were separated Jan. 6 at the hospital by a team of 11 doctors.

At their birth Nov. 7 they were joined at the abdomen and shared a common liver. It was the 20th successful separation of Siamese twins in medical history.

This week is National Vocational Education week. (Courier Photo). By JAMES A. KIDNEY PIflLADEIPHIA (UPI) American Bar Association President Lawrence E. Walsh will present a preliminary report today on a number of resolutions by the ABA's Board of Governors, including one calling for a special committee to prevent high-level government corruption.

Pennsylvania Gov. Milton J. Shapp and CBS legal correspondent Fred Graham were scheduled to address the convention in the afternoon. The resolutions, discussed Wednesday and Thursday during closed door hearings, will be placed before the ABA's House of Delegates during next week's sessions of the association's mid-year meetings. The House of Delegates is expected to approve recommendations by the special committee named 2H years ago during the Watergate crisis.

Although the committee's report opposes creation of a permanent special prosecutor's office to serve as a government watchdog, it does recommend naming a special prosecutor similar to the one used to investigate Watergate. However, the report proposes that this would be done only when the attorney general or a special appointing court determines a need to go outside the Justice Department. The committee has also recommended that the President be barred from naming a partisan political aide as attorney general such as Richard M. Nixon did when he appointed John Mitchell to the post. Evidence in his Watergate trial disclosed that Mitchell, Nixon's campaign manager in 1968, knowingly helped cover up the break-in investigation while he was attorney general.

Mitchell has appealed his conviction. The ABA committee's report deals mainly with methods for insuring congressional oversight of the FBI and Internal Revenue Services, as well as for shielding those agencies and the Justice Department from White House political pressure. It recommends that the FBI, IRS and Justice Department maintain logs of telephone contacts from the White House and congressmen. Congressional oversight committees would have access to these logs and could decide whether to make them public. Another proposal would allow only a handful of White House aides to examine tax returns and then only with the per- serial signature of the President.

The Board of Governors' action on resolutions before it generally consists of a recommendation of approval or deferment, offer of a substitute, or forwarding to the House of Delegates without any recommendation. Although approval by the House of Delegates has no binding effect, it stamps the positions with the prestige of the nation's largest legal fraternity, which has 200,000 members. Water Project Fayette Continued From Page 1 the people of the 50th Legislative District. The Fayette County communities in the 50th Legislative District are Fairchance Borough, Smithfield, Masontown, Springhill One and Two, Luzerne Township, Georges Township and Point Marion. Facing a four to one voting registration edge by the Democrats, the Greene County woman said the odds do not discourage her.

She feels by going to the people, campaigning door to door throughout the district, will help overcome the voter registration edge. She contends more and more young people should and will become more actively involved in politics. The GOP contender placed emphasis on certain areas of government that need improvements. During the question and answer period, she placed specific emphasis on improving the overall economic situation in the district. Miss Pierce said.

I don't feel that new legislation is always the answer to better government. There are many bills in Harnsburg that may have been a good bill, but were placed on the wayside because it was either bogged down with amendments or not pursued far enough. I feel you must approach any type of legislation with good common sense and an understanding of what the constituents in the district want." Miss Pierce feels one person can't do all this, it takes an effort of the part of others to get good bills passed in the legislature, she said, "I feel a state legislator should gather all the facts before making any decision on legislation." Miss Pierce blasted the Shapp administration for some of its shady and incompetent leadership in the various departments of the state. She feels more emphasis should be placed on reconditioning the secondary roads in the area. She said, we must reorient our priorities." Expressing her feeling on the present court system, she said, "It is too easy to commit a crime, the court system on all levels is too lenient." The candidate said she is a firm believer in capital punishment and stronger enforcement of the law.

Miss Pierce is a 1972 graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she received a bachelor of science degree in political science. While working in Harnsburg, the candidate was employed in the Bureau of Corporate Taxes in the Department of Revenue. It is not known yet who the Fayette County Democratic committee will back to oppose Miss Pierce. Greene County Democratic Chairman Mark Shultz already announced his support for William DeWeese of Waynesburg for the full term nomination. A final decision on the Democratic candidate must be made by March 8.

Yezbak said Thursday both committees would also back Fischer if he decides to run for the United States Congress position now held by Democrat Thomas Morgan of Fredericktown. Fischer said he is still weighing the decision. It was learned there is an estimated $3,000 voter registration edge by the Democrats in the congressional race. Fischer is already a candidate to retain his present legislative post. Yezbak referred to Miss Pierce as a refreshing new political candidate with tremendous depth and an excellent background.

He said, "She understands the needs and problems of the people. She has a lot of ability and a positive attitude towards winning the race." Holiday Postal Hours Revealed Connellsville Post Office will be closed Monday in observance of President's Day, according to Lewis W. Wandel, postmaster. Wandel said holiday service will prevail.

i ej, Needs 15 More Local Guardsmen Start ToMeetCosts 'Muster Day' Saturday Tomorrow and Sunday many area residents will hear either a knock on their door or the bell ring and find two uniformed National Guardsmen facing them upon opening. No, they will not be there to arrest anybody for disagreeing with the Congress, the President, the Pennsylvania Legislature or the Governor. America, despite its many social programs, is still a democracy and the young men in uniform are trying to help keep it that way. Armed only with brochures and bank cards, their mission is to recruit eligible men or women for service with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. The bank cards are prospect cards, not recruiting commitment documents.

The guardsmen will be from the two units comprising Co. 110th Infantry--Co. A () of Connellsville and Co. A (Det.) Mount Pleasant. This is the first weekend of "Muster 1976 style.

Those whom they succeed in becoming interested in joining the National Guard will be asked to fill out the prospect card with name, address and phone number and time it would best suit them (the prospects) to be interviewed for possible enlistment in the Guard. Next weekend, it will be residents in other portions of the county who will be contacted by the guardsmen in an endeavor to fill present vacancies and expected vacancies that will occur as of July 1 when numerous enlistments run out. Some of those may reenlist, some will be eligible for a complete military retirement, and others will be writing finis to their basic military obligations. Capt. Jerome Yasher, commander of Co.

A reported this week that three individuals have "jumped the gun'' on Muster Day and came to the armory on West Washington Avenue expressing a desire to enlist. Prospects who indicate a time and day that would be most convenient for them to follow up on their initial contact- and be interviewed for possible enlistment will have a vehicle sent for them at that specified time, taken to the armory and then returned home after the interview in a military vehicle. The captain reiterated a former statement, "there will be no fluff and wild promises of this, that or the other thing in order to entice someone to sign up. We will be telling them 'as it is'. We will be telling them enlistment in the company here (Co.

1st 110th Infantry) will be putting them in the infantry. Their training will not be a weekend picnic, one big party, or a way out of boredom and just 'something to They will train to handle themselves in civic emergencies such as disasters, civil disturbances, or in warfare. In the latter category they'll be taught not only how to perform in front line combat, but also how to stay alive." Interviewing Guard officers and noncommissioned officers will also point out the various opportunities for advancement, certain privileges they will have as active guardsmen and benefits that will accrue through the years. The platoons going out on the weekend house-to-house "Muster Day" program will be divided into squads, and each of those squads sub-divided into teams of two men each, representing all ranks in the Guard units. Trust Department Expansion Noted Representatives of the Connellsville Township Water Authority reported Thursday night the authority needs 15 more customers to make its Springfield Pike water project more feasible.

The authority made the report at the regular meeting of Connellsville Township supervisors. Currently, there are 45 customers signed for the water service. The authority says 15 more will make the project more worthwhile for all customers. The current tap-in fee for water service in the project is $700 with monthly bills averaging about $10 per month. However, persons not signed up before construction begins will face tap-in fees of over $1,000 plus higher monthly rates for service, a spokesman said.

Two grants, one of $100,000 from county commissioners and another of about $30,000 from state harness racing funds, are aiding the authority. The project has been in the preparation stages for about two years. In other action, supervisors voted to advertise for bids on the purchase of a new township truck. The new truck would replace an older 1955-model vehicle. One Admitted, Two Treated At Fayette Bank At Hospital ndronrt ttroc wit ft a Bank Depository Ruse Sends Man To Federal Pen MIAMI (UPI) Thomas Pannier may have failed at turning a stolen U.S.

mailbox into his own night bank depository but a federal judge has made sure he'll be getting all his correspondence in jail for a while. U.S. District Judge William 0. Mehrtens Thursday sentenced Pannier, 24, of North Miami, to one year in jail on the mailbox theft charge and another three years for bail jumping. Pannier failed to show up for a magistrate's hearing on the case last November.

Pannier was arrested for stealing the mailbox after a North Miami Beach policeman spotted a suspicious-looking deposit box next to a regular depository outside a branch of the People's First National Bank. A sign reading "Out of Order, Use Mail Depository" was attached to the genuine deposit box. The officer notified bank officials before any deposits could be made in the phony box.
