He is serving this sentence in the Eastern Penitentiary and was 'brought from that prison to Huntingdon yesterday to face the charges in Huntingdon County Court today.

DiGeacome told the' court today he had learned his lesson the hard way. A report from, the penitentiary, disclosed that he has been a "good" prisoner. On the.

In addition W-Gocj- dard, officials taking part'will'be Lloyd Partain, Director of Industrial Relations, Company, and Pfesideiit' of the Pennsylvania Forestry Association; Ambler, Pennsylvania, representing the State Forest Commission; and Henry Clepper, Executive Secrt; tary of the Society of.
