Ziegler Guest Speaker Thirty-eight of the 45 York County fire companies have expressed a desire to obtain a combined total of 61 pieces of mobile radio equipment under a co-operative purchase plan with the county, state and national governments. The cost to each fire company is expected to run less than $300. The plan, under consideration for several months, includes the stipulation that civil defense units I have complete jurisdiction over the system in the event of emergencies, it was pointed out at a meeting of the York County Firefighting Association. Under the plan, the company wanting a mobile radio unit and the county pay 25 per cent each of the total cost.

The other 50 per cent is to be borne by state and national governments. The county and federal governments. it was said, will share the cost of establishing the central stations. These control points are to be located in Hanover, New Freedom and Dillsburg and will supplement stations already maintained in West York, Spring Garden Township, Red Lion, Yoe and Dallastown. All equipment will be purchased in one order so the county can get the lowest wholesale rate.

Advertisements for bids on equipment are now being prepared by a joint committee from the county firemen group and the civilian defense unit.

YORK SOCIAL SECURITY HEAD ISSUES REPORT Approximately S522.000 In Benefits Distributed Monthly In Two- County Area Approximately $522.000 was being distributed monthly in old age and benefits in York and Adams Counties at the end of 1953, it has been revealed by Clarence L. Anstine, manager of the York Social Security office. Anstine added that an estimated 12,300 persons in the i area were receiving these monthly payments.

The per-person average, I thus, amounts to less than $43 a month. Since the program was originally i designed to give a measure of protection to the nation's aged people, Anstine said it is significant to note that about 40 per cent of all persons who are without income from employment or self-employment are now getting old age and survivors payments. WASHINGTON by topic, here is the gist of major recommendations President Eisenhower made to Congress today, including many to be spelled out in future messages: Strong will include flexible credit and public debt policies; tax adjustments to spur spending; loans and guarantees, expanded social security; revised plans for agriculture and foreign trade; advance planning for public works. will be further reductions later. A broad early revision should include liberalization as to working children, medical expenses and widows and widowers with dependent children; for business.

a break on depreciation, research and retained earnings. But scheduled excise and corporation income tax cuts should not go into effect. will move closer to balance, but a debt limit raise is needed. should become flexible, but without sudden price drops, to stimulate consumption. Existing surpluses should be from trade channels through such programs as relief and emergency stockpiles.

Defense Emphasis is on nuclear weapons and air power. Some information on use of atomic weap- ons should be shared with friends. Continental defense is being strengthened. The United States should participate in developing the St. Lawrence Waterway as a security measure.

READING (AP) A series of nine earth tremors jolted this Eastern Pennsylvania region early today, tumbling sleepers out of bed, toppling chimneys and rattling houses.

Weather Bureau experts, state police arid other investigators were at a loss for hours to explain the shocks. The first came about 2:30 a the last about 6 a. m. Newspaper offices were swamped with telephone calls. Later, Fordham University in New York said that seismographs there registered earth tremors in the Reading area.

The Rev. Josepn J. Lynch, Fordham seismologist, termed them local shocks. He added that their exact cause could not be that, indeed, it might go back as far as the lifting of the ice cap. No one was reported injured, and apparently the damage was slight.

The nine shocks were centered in the Sinking Springs area, a community of some 2,000 persons about four miles west of Reading. The shocks, however, could be felt throughout the Greater Reading area. Cpl. Thomas Brace of the state police said the shocks more felt than heard. It must have been an earth settlement.

The first one was the big one. It threw the off-duty men out of their beds upstairs. They all came running down to find out what happened. At first we thought it was the oil Seven shocks came between 2:30 and 3:40 a. with additional at 5:30 and 6 a.
