Francis Coulson to all school districts in the county telling them of a change of date for the state Board of Education hearing on the appeals from the Adams County plan of school district reorganization. Previously set for October 9, the hearing has been set back to a.m. Wednesday, November 4. The change was decided upon this week at a prehearing conference at Harrisburg when legal counsel for all of the districts involved and for the York and Adams County Boards of School Directors gathered at Harrisburg to discuss hearing plans.

YORK PLAN ALSO APPEALED Conflicts on the October 9 date and the need for a full day to devote to the Ar.arns County hearing led to the date change. The Adams County Board of School Directors last May 21 adopted a six-unit plan on a three to two vote. East Berlin borough, Staban and Mt. Pleasant Twps. have appealed, seeking to have the county formed into a single school district.

Conewago Twp. has appealed, asking that it be included in the Hanover School District and MrSherryslown borough is the fifth appellant. It seeks to continue as it is as a school distict on its own. The picture is further complicated by an appeal the Hanover School Board has filed to the York County plan. They are asking to be joined with Conewago Twp.

and McSherrystown in a single school district. In the York County plan adopted earlier this year by the York County Board of School Directors, Hanover is set up as a single school district. LEGAL BRIEFS FILED Attending the prehearing conference in addition to the secretary of the state board, Severino Stefanon, and a deputy attorney general, were Adams County Superintendent of Schools M. Francis Coulson- Attorney Eugene R. Hartman, solicitor for the Adams County Board of School Directors; Attorney Edward B.

(AP) A jarring explosion shook the home of Mayor John Nosser last night and he blamed the bombing third on property he owns in 11 days on his role as a racial pepcemaker. There were no injuries. Damage to the two-story, columned home was extensive. Almost simultaneously, a loud blast 15 blocks away tore a hole in the driveway outside the home of Willie Washington, a Negro contractor whose house was bombed once before this summer. Again there were no injuries and property damage was limited to shattered windows.

ARREST SUSPECT Within an hour, police picked up an unidentified Negro man who they said was a suspect in the bombing of the mayor's home. Police declined to give any details. "I don't believe it was done by colored people," Nosser told The Associated Press. "I believe it was done by white people. But it could have been either side.

"I'm trying to keep peace in this community." Nosser said he had stepped on a few toes of both races whenever either side got out of line this summer. "When white people get too far out of line, I'm against them," he said "The same with colored people." DOORS SMASHED an antebellum city with 24,000 persons, is in southwest Mississippi about 65 miles west of McComb, a town that has experienced 16 racial bombings in recent months. Nosser said he and his wife were alone watching television when the bomb went off outside their front porch about 9:18 p.m. CST. The mayor said he found the glass doors smashed, windows along the front of the white frame home shattered.

Police attributed the explosion to a time bomb tossed in the yard near the front porch. Two stores owned by Nosser suffered minor bomb damage Sept. 14. In addition, three Negro churches in this area have been burned and numerous crosses set blazing since June. There have been no arrests.

4 WEEK TO BE MARKED BY 700 MEMBERS Adams County's more than 700 4-H members will mark National 4-H Week starting today. The week extends from today through October 3. The observance corned annually at the conclusion of the club year for the agricultural and home economics groups and the organization period for the "winter clubs" of the organization. During the year just closing, there were 434 youths in agricultural clubs and 345 in home economics clubs. They completed during the summer 941 projects, 559 of them in agricultural and 382 in home economics.

There are two community clubs in hich members carry both agriculture and home economics projects, seven county-wide clubs such as Baby Beef and Dairy Calf, nine agricultural clubs and 19 home economics clubs. During the coming week, various clubs plan to place window displays encouraging boys and girls aged 10 to 19 to join in the 4-H activities during the coming year. County Agent Duane G. Dun can and Extension Home Economist Mrs. Helen Tunison said the emphasis in 4-H work has changed during the 50 years of the organization's existence nationally.

The clubs started to teach farming and homemaking They continue to have that function "but the emphasis is more on teaching youths to accept responsibility, become leaders and good citizens." Objectives of 4-H club work were listed as: "Gain new knowledge, skills and attitudes through real-life experience, realize the satisfactions and dignity of work, develop leadership talents and abilities, recognize the value of research and learn the decision- making processes, understand how agriculture and home economics contribute to the economy and human welfare. "Explore career opportunities and continue needed education, practice healthful living and constructive use of leisure time, ap- presiate nature and apply con servation principles, strengthen personal standards and citizenship ideals, cultivate desire and ability to cooperate with others." Baby Suffocates In Crib Friday Tammy Marie Noble, aged six months and 17 days, Gettysburg R. 5, suffocated in the crib at her home in Bonneauville Friday afternoon. Her body was found by one of her seven brothers and sisters but efforts to revive the child were in vain. Dr.

C. G. Crist, Adams County coroner, listed the case as accidental suffocation and said the child's head was caught between the mattress and the side of the crib. The little girl was the youngest of eight children of Merle Robert Noble and Betty Zane (Zartman) Noble. Surviving in addition to the parents are these brothers and sisters: Merle R.

Jo Ann, Beverly, Mary, Dons, Randy and Raymond, all at home, and a grandfather, Ervm Zartman Spring Grove R. 3.

State Checks For Schools On Way State checks helping member school districts of the Gettysburg Joint School System to meet rentals on an addition to the junior ligh school building, the Keefauver Elementary School and the senior high school building are being sent from Harrisburg, according to information received by the office of County Super- ntendent of Schools M. Francis Coulson.

The checks will include $7,316.55 for Cumberland $3,965.26 for Franklin $9,468.84 for the Gettysburg Area Merged Dis- tript; $1,862.12 for Mt. Joy and $5,308.83 for Straban Twp. Since the Mt. Joy sum covers rentals paid before the township school district was divided earlier this year, it may be necessary for that sum to be split between the Mt. Joy Twp.

District and the Mt. Joy Twp. Independent School District. The upcoming payments by the state also will include $4,070.97 for Franklin Twp. toward rentals on its recent addition to the building at Cashtown.

The expected payments total $31,992,57. Mrs. Lester Oyler Dies Early Today Mrs. Lester Oyler, 68, 32 York died at the Warner Hospital this morning about 12:30 o'clock after having been a patient there for five weeks. She had been in failing health for some time.

YORK COUNTY 1863EVENTS ARE REVIEWED Details of the invasion of York County by Confederate troops just prior to the battle of Gettysburg in 1863 were reviewed Thursday evening by the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table at its meeting in the GAR home. E. Middle St. G-eorge Kauffman, teacher of history at William Penn Senior High School, York, and president of the local round table, gave the talk, illustrating it with slides and numerous photographs of places where action occurred, and of leaders of the troops A map of York County was used to illustrate the route of the invaders as they came from Gettysburg in late June, 1863, enroute to Wrightsville where they hoped to capture the bridge to cross the Susquehanna.

The bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861 began the Civil War The Confederates took over the fort after Major Robert Anderson surrendered his troops, and it remained in Confederate hands until the war ended despite a 22-month seige during which Union guns hurled 3,500 tons of shells at the fort in the Charleston, S. harbor. The possibility of a Sunday trip to the Wilderness Battlefield in October, and attendance at a dinner at which Glenn Tucker will speak November 20 were discussed at the meeting.

TRUCK CATCHES FIRE Heidlersburg firemen were called this morning when a truck caught fire along the Harrisburg Rd. about a mile north of Heidlersburg. Firemen found the blaze was out when they arrived. TRUCK UPSETS AND DUMPS 20 TONS OF COAL Twenty tons of coal were dumped in the yard of George Smyth, about a mile north of Heidlersburg, this morning when a tractor-trailer struck another car and upset off the road.

The accident occurred about 6:30 o'clock when an auto operated by Harry Mumper, York Springs, and a Reading Anthracite tractor-trailer from Pottsville. operated by Robert Lewellyn, 22, Ashland, were both going south on the Gettysburg- Harrisburg Rd. near its intersection with the road to Rock Chapel. According to witnesses at the scene, the truck struck the left rear bumper of the Mumper car, smashing it against the wheel of the auto and causing about $50 damage. RUSHED TO HOSPITAL The tractor-trailer then went off the road, bowling down three utility poles, and upset in the Srnyth yard, coming to rest with its wheels up in the air, and with coal "all over the lawn and everything." The York Springs ambulance rushed Lewellyn to the Warner Hospital here where he was treated for lacerations of the scalp, right hand and fingers.

The Heidlersburg Fire Company was called when it was feared that the tractor-trailer might catch fire. The firemen helped to detour traffic around the scene. Paul Wolf, of Paul's Garage, York Springs, called to remove the tractor-trailer, said it was completely demolished. After working about three hours, the York Springs tow truck was able to right the upset vehicle and remove it to the garage at York Springs. The accident was one of several investigated by state police from the local substation.
