Of the 67 counties of the commonwealth, only Northampton. Delaware, Philadelphia, Lycoming, Clearfield, Butler and Dauphin have more such WPA workers than Berks, a report from the state WPA offices disclosed.

Dismissal is scheduled to begin this morning: and continued on an "orderly, balanced schedule" until September 1, the deadline set by law. On dismissal slips it will be noted that the "removal is required by law, 18 months' continuous employment." Explanation Given In addition there will be attached to each of the dismissal slips the following explanation: "You have been removed from your WPA job in order to comply with the law, which provides that all relief workers who have been continuously employed on WPA for more than eighteen months must be dropped, in order that other certified persons who have not been given such employment may have an opportunity for a WPA job. "Before you can again be assigned, it will be necessary for you to be again certified by the State Department of Public Assistance. If you are recertified by them then, after thirty days from the date of your discharge, your card will again be placed in the file of persons awaiting assignment, and your chance of securins a job with WPA will be just the same as all other certified persons awaiting assignment." Only under extenuating circum stances will consideration be given to the re employment of a dismissed worker after his recertification and 30 day interval has passed. 500 See Cemetery's New Crematorium Chapel, Columbarium Open for Inspection Charles Evans Cemetery's new crematorium, chapel and columbarium, opened yesterday for public inspection, attracted more than 500 persons Inspection periods will continue daily from 1 to 5 p.
