He felt use of the usual legal publications wasn't sufficient. Listing all 200 couples by name, the advertisement will ask them to show cause why their divorce decrees should not be filed with the clerk of the court. Should there be no objection, Henderson will file them and the separations will, finally, become legal.

In addition to the advertising costs, Miss Hash said, the estate will have to pay the $5-percase filing fee for the 200 cases $1,000. "It was a rather expensive collection method," she said. not going to be until I'm paid." That collection method was used widely in the Depression, his niece added, but is frowned upon by the legal prof ession today. I Hash died six years ago, and Miss Hash was named a fcoexecutor of his estate. Going through his papers, she found 200 divorce decrees, which had been signed by judges but not filed with the clerk of the court and made final.

Some date back to the 1920s. To clear up the estate, she proposed to Superior Court Judge Laurens Henderson that he file all 200 nunc pro tunc -r in other words, doing today what should have, been done yesterday. The judge said fine but certain legal requirements would have to be complied with first. For one thing, the plan would have to be approved by PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) Two hundred couples who thought they were divorced are not.

And after up to 40 years since their supposedly legal separations, they are going to get a chance to reconsider. It all stems from a fee-collection method used by V. L.

One of the town's best known attorneys, he As known to have filed many divorce cases without receiving the filing fee.

HOME REMODELING CENTER PANELS JOSEPH SAGE Pottsville Native Gets Texas Post Pottsville native Joseph Sage, a veteran of 29 years, of military service who retired as a colonel, was one of two Republicans elected to the Texas House of Representatives in November, the first representatives of the party, to serve in the legislature since the 1880's. Sage, San Antonio, Texas, is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Joseph Sage of Philadelphia, and the nephew of Mrs. Marion E. Coogan of Pottsville and of the late James P. Jennings. He has practiced law in San Antonio since his retirement six years ago, having received his law degree and completed 30 hours of graduate study in history; and political science while in the Air Force.

He attended University, St. Louis University, and Drake University during that time. Col. Sage left Pottsville as a private with the 213th National Guard in -World War II. His military career included his last post as assistant deputy chief of staff for military personnel at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas.

A 1939 graduate of Pottsville High School, he is married to the former Ginny Reber of Pottsville. EXISTING What do doctors recommend for patients marks: "The way of life some are living now is so far advanced, so far ahead, that for them to consider it extreme to get back to simplicity is outrageous." Gerber sees hope and even comradeship ill "hippies" who have moved into communes and live off the earth. "Once society got so far away from the natural surroundings that the heart was created for, a vacuum was created and the hippies moved into it. Life is artificial but it will last just so long and then it will reverse itself the organic movement has proved that," Garber said. The Garbers lost their oldest son Jeremiah, 9, last August when he was cut by a horsedrawn mower.

Garber refused to call a doctor and treated the boy himself. He feels his son was killed as punishment to the family for using such a modern contraption as a mower rather than simple hand instruments. "We believe in physicians, but not in poisonous drugs," he said. "We feel drugs work against health and not for it." Garber now says that is the reason the family returned tOj Pennsylvania. Doctors all over the country dispense oyer 50,000,000 of these tablets to their patients each year.

POME Cameras MT. PLEASANT MILLS, Pa. (AP) The Eli Garbers, their 800-mile odyssey from Maine to central Pennsylvania over have settled into a ramshackle three-story house near here from which they wfii seek to warn others of the "impurities" seeping into the Amish way of life. The Amish couple and their four young children are searching for the "simple life," a life which they say the Amish are beginning to leave, with the encroachment of modernism. "Amish children are falling away from the ways of their parents," said wearing the traditional long and beard.

"That's why we want to get away from modermsm, back to the simple life. We want to work the land with our hands to grow our own food, to make our own clothes." Garber, 39, and his family left Athens, on Oct. 10 for this Snyder County town about 50 miles north of" Harrisburg. They drew national attention on Nov. 16 when their horsedrawn wagon was stopped at Bear Mountain Bridge in New York State because of a ban on livestocft.

-The, law was waived by special permission and the family continued the trip to Mt. Pleasant Mills where Eli and Lydia were married 10 years ago. Now they have lived in the white clapboard house for one week, spending their time mostly gearing up for the winter. They rented the house along with several hundred acres of land from some Amish families. Despite the house's enormity, the six members of the family live in one small room.

"It's enough for us," said Garber, just after returning with a wagon-load of fire wood. "Besides," he adds, "it would take too much to heat the whole place." Two single beds are pushed together and apparently serve as sleeping facilities for the whole family. A single table and four chairs are the only furniture. A stove also used to provide heat is the only mechanical looking device in the house. Despite his outspokenness during the trip, Garber now refused to criticize his neighbors for falling victim to modernism, or how he plans to persuade them to return to the simple life.

"I don't want to spread gossip," he said. His wife pushes him to give examples of modernism spreading into Amish living. But i he scolds her: "I don't like to speak of shame." But told that some of his neighbors consider him extreme in ways, Garber re- FAKMtrS MARKET POTTSVILLE TALK ABDUr ttuu rot wko.r m. 4 sat. HOME CURED BACON 79 LEBANON (SUMMER SAUSAGE 99 BOLOGNA ib.
