The land is currently zoned R-l for detached single family dwellings only. Before the developers can present their plan for approval, the township must change its zoning laws to allow dwellings in that part of the township. The public hearing, slated 7:30 p.m.

June 17 in Pottsgrove High School, will be conducted by the commissioners to determine whether that area is a good and suitable place for high density housing of this kind, the board said. They will hear testimony from any township residents who wish to give opinions, make objections or express approval. Within 30 to 45 days after the hearing they will decide whether to grant or reject the request for a zoning change. Only if the commissioners decide to rezone the area for multiple dwellings will they look in detail at the specific plans to see if they are acceptable. At this point, according to township secretary Alfred Milts, the developers have presented few details to the commissioners.

They have indicated only that they intend to develop the entire 29-acre tract and build approximately 440 dwelling units. The commissioners hired Richard Lengel, 418 Wilson as the fourth time patrolman. Lengel was the only one of the five applicants for the position found fully qualified by the civil service commission. The board also reappointed Charles I. Stout, White Pine Lant, to a second five-year term on the Park and Recreation Commission.

Area Enjoys Warm Day; More to Come Monday brought the kind of temperatures to the Pottstown area that made residents wish the Memorial Day weekend could have lasted an extra day. It set any records, but brought warmth that had been steadily increasing through tbe weekend. high of 83 was topped by five degrees when the thermometer rose to 88 at 4 p.m. Monday. The cooling process began very slowly, and it, was still 80 at 11 p.m.

The reason for the higher readings can be found in the condition of the skies. While Sunday was overcast for a generous portion of the day, the clouds dissipated Monday. Nevertheless, there was an increasing amount of humidity in the air, which resulted in a hazy condition. predicted weather calls for continuing summer- like warmth. In the afternoon or evening showers, and per haps even thundershowers may be expected.

Highs, however, should again move up into the mid 80s. The outlook for Wednesday is for cooler weather and a chance of showers. CLEMMER RITES he was a patient five days. He Minnie (Bower) Evans. was ill a year.

Addonizio Trial Begins Today NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Mayor Hugh J. Addonizio's trial on charges of extortion and income tax evasion opens Tuesday, 14 days before a runoff election to determine whether he succeeds himself in office. The failure to obtain a delay in the trial has led him to charges that he has been a victim of His opponent in the June 16 runoff election is Kenneth A. Gibson, a black city engineer.

Addonizio and the 12 other defendants going on trial Tuesday, including three city councilman also seeking reelection, were indicted in December on charges of extorting $253,000 from a contractor doing business with the city. Addonizio accused U.S. Attorney Frederick B. Lacey, the federal prosecutor, of infringing on his constitutional right to run for office and refusing to permit him to leave the state for television appearances without pledging not to discuss the facts of the case. The major government witness is expected to be Paul W.

Rigo, head of Constradt a municipal sewer contractor. Rigo has disappeared since the indictments were handed down in December and is believed to be in protective custody. The government said that delay of even one day could if not its case. The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday turned down appeal for a stay.

The word translated from the French means the etageres now being manufactured are not all like the whatnots of other years, many of which used to be hung on walls. Many of etageres are floor-standing and have a number of shelves or tiers. And they are being produced in all kinds of materials from wood to metal to glass.

Not only that, but find them in all shapes and sizes from square to rectangle to pyramid and other shapes in between. There is perhaps no prettier way to display your various bric-a-brac than in one of the new etageres. By the way, this hard-to-pronounce word is usually pronounced: A-TA-ZHER. But even though it may be difficult to say, it can be beautiful to behold and might be just the thing to add some beauty and convenience to your home.
