If so, tragedy is running true to form for Wilbur Roddy of Turkey Inn Road above Waterford, who coujdn't deserve what he's received during the past year. Roddy's wife died last fall.

Friday morning fire destroyed his home, and his new automobile was demolished as a direct result of the blaze. No One At Home Neither Roddy or his two sons who live with him were home at 3 a.m. Friday when the fire start ed. A neighbor, Douglas Riffle, noticed the orange flames licking out of the roof and summoned Waterford and Ligonier firemen. But by the time they arrived, all that was left was the shell of the six-room frame building.

Roddy and his son, Larry, a gasoline station worker, arrived home in time to watch the chimney topple into the foundation. Here's where the automobile enters the tragic story. Noticing that another boy was not around, Roddy became frightened that he might have been in the building. But his son said he had an idea where he might find him, He and a neighbor, Barry Clarke, took Roddy's new Ford and began to search for the brother. -Just east of Ligonier on Route 30, young Roddy swerved to avoid hitting a deer on the high-(See TRAGEDY, Page 3) Jobs -7 i Tragedy Landfill Battle Still On Water will continue to run downhill despite the the opinion of a state Department of Health soil scien- tict That somewhat facetious answer was given by one Unity Township property owner yesterday when asked if he and his neighbors intend to keep up their fight to have the township landfill relocated.

"We think the state Department of Health's findings are un- jwv. uwcwnruovic (Uiu uaiMUD even made by an unqualified man," one of the property owners said.

"The findings did not consider any expansion toward our properties of the landfill, and water definitely will rim downhill from the fill onto our properties if Stewart uses ail the hill top," uie source said The homes owned by the protesting citizens lie to the west of a stripped-out hilltop owned by Frank Stewart. The soil scientist toured the landfill two weeks ago and reported water would drain to the east and south, rather than to the west toward the homes. Shipp, the man who made the tour, admitted he was not. a geologist, and the property owners questioned his ability to make a iong-rangeforeoast of; drainage patterns. "He should have made the tour with a geologist, rather than talking to one after he got back (See LANDFILL, Page 3) Scranton Plans To Fight Weak School Measure PITTSBURGH (UPI) -i Gov.

By JAMES D. LEN1IART Bulletin City Editor The constantly expanding world of-automation has moved further into the chemical industry, thanks in part to the efforts of a former Latrobe man. Ron MacDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. James E.

MacDonald, 713 Highland has helped develop Fisher Scientific Company's latest device a machine that analyzes the carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen compositions of anything that will burn. MacDonald prepared for his work at the Pittsburgh firm's headquarters by studying at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Washington and Jefferson College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute after his 1954 graduation from On Sunday M. Fred average erade level and de velop a personality. These two qualities are upper most in the mind of David A. Sny der, superintendent of Greater Latrobe Schools, when he interviews prospective teacher candidate.

He emphasized the word "per sonality." "Of course I look for the pros pective teacher with a "good report card but I feel the person who can project himself and show he likes people has a better chance of getting hired than one whose grades may be higher but doesn't show enthusiasm or a quality whkh endears him to other peo ple, he said. Must Assess Needs This is the time of year when the head of Latrobe 's schools must review his staff and decide what teachers be needs for the fall term. Every year's end finds the dis trict with openings for the fall. Some of the younger female teachers plan marriage. Others are retiring.

It's a problem every superintendent faces to get the best he can from the crop of June graduates. Competition is keen for the yearlings who are no different than other college graduates. All are seeking the best possible position and the most money they can obtain. Each school district will get a small number of "local" men and women who want to stay in their hometowns. This applies mostly to single girls who hope to cut expenses by living wkh their parents.

Snyder is typical of the school men in Pennsylvania who find they lose a number of top candidates to neighboring states offering higher salaries. Pay Higher New York, New Jersey and Maryland, for example, pay beginners an average of from $500 to $800 more yearly and those with graduate degrees from to $1,300 more. "The demand for teachers along the Eastern Seaboard takes up part of the supply. School districts in other states have to go elsewhere to get teachers. They just can't supply the demand with their own people," he said.

Snyder said -Pennsylvania dis-. tricts necessarily lose younger teachers to other 6tates adding a burden to the drain on prospective candidates who leave the Commonwealth. In "younger teachers" Snyder referred to those with three-to-(See SNYDER.

The new machine, Fisher says, allows a relatively inexperienced technician to run three to five determinations every hour "and have plenty of time to carry out other duties." In contrast wiUi typical laboratory methods now being used, the analyzer eliminates the need for investing in special training, Rogers Fred M. Rogers, son of Mr.

and Mrs. James H. Rogers, 737 Weldon St, Latrobe, will be ordained a Presbyterian minister Sunday night. The ordination service will begin at 8 p.m. in the Third Presbyterian Church, Negley and Fifth Avenues, Pittsburgh.

After graduating from Latrobe High School, Rogers completed his college education at Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla. Later he enrolled in the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, where he graduated last year. He will be ordained into the Pittsburgh Presbytery of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.

Boiled down to everyday terms, that means MacDonald and the other Fisher engineers working on the project bad to come up with new ideas and new methods never before developed. The success of their work is obvious in the statement made by Fisher in a pamphlet describing the analyzer "It is literally true that the CHN Analyzer will soon pay for itself in savings from increased output and re duced training costs and can save both time and money" by performing involved analyses au tomatically. This latest addition to the field of automation will not be off the productoin line until late Novem ber or early December. But when does go into full-scale production and makes its expected big impact on the fields of 'science and industry throughout America, a Latrobe engineer will be partly responsible.
