Dessen, CAN-DO president. Dr. Dessen, in turn, presented a bill of sale for the industrial park's water system to Frederic W. Deisroth, president of the City Authority Water Department. Deisroth commented that the transfer of Valmont's water system is an example of the Hazleton City Authority's efforts to work together with CAN-DO for the benefit of the Hazleton area.

"The acquisition of the Valmont system," Deisroth said, "will improve service of water at the industrial park as well as in the city proper." Dr. Dessen remarked that the entire CAJN-DO organization is deeply grateful to the members of the Hazleton City Authority Water department for taking over our water system."

County Commissioner James B. Post, whose firm supplied the coal, theorized that the six-ton shortage was caused by a water loss as the loaded truck stood in the yards overnight. With the weight of water listed at 8.33 pounds a gallon, this would result in an effluvium of some 1.440 gallons of water in Post's coal yards. As for the oxygen, the supplier did not advance the theory that valves were left open.

He merely replaced the shortage. Coast Guard Sets Officer Deadline Applications for the February class of the U. S.

What sent extra icicles up and down their backs was a reading of zero on the First Federal Assn. time-temperature sign.

Actually, the temperature downtown had risen to a still frigid mark of 12 degrees by noon. But the sign had frozen at zero after dipping to minus two or three during the night, a night cold enough to freeze mechanical thermometers.

Seven Inches Of Snow May Cover Area The Weather Bureau this afternoon issued a provisional heavy snow warning for the Greater Hazleton region tonight. The snow warning followed a cold wave which gripped the region last night and early today, sending temperatures to 3 below in Hazleton and as low as 10 below in outlying areas.

The weatherman said an accumulation of seven incfies by tomorrow afternoon is possible here if the storm system moving in this direction continues its present course. The system is similar to the one that dumped seven inches of snow on this region last Sunday, according to the Weather Bureau. This afternoon, the system was centered over Missouri and moving eastward. it continues its present course, it will be centered some where in southern Pennsylvania by tomorrow morning. That will mean another snowfall similar to last Sunday's which had accumulations ranging from 3 inches in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, to 7 in Hazleton, and 11 in western Vir-ginia," the weatherman said.

The official forecast calls for snow beginning tonight, continuing through most of tomorrow. An overnight low of 14 to 22 degrees is expected, with a high tomorrow between 20 and 26. In an extended general forecast, the Weather Bureau said temperatures for the next five days will average below the normal of 28 for the period. The capsule forecast: mostly cold throughout the period except for some moderation about Monday. Snow is expected during the weekend and again about Tuesday or Wednesday.

Station WHZN Still Off Air Radio Station WHZN was still off the air this morning after employes struck yesterday shortly after the noon hour and began to picket the station's Laurel Hill Terrace facility following a breakdown of negotiations between union officials and owner of the WHZN. Office employes of the station were on duty this morning. The report from William Connelly, president of Local 23, National Association of Broadcast Employes and Technicians, AFL-CIO, C.L.C. noted the station went off the air from 12:45 p. m.

until normal daily sign-off time. Connelly said negotiations being conducted between the union and Louis Adelman, owner of the sta tion, over union demands, were ended by the firm on Tuesday. Approval of NAbE as bargain ing agent for station employes was voted last year after which strike authorization was favored by a subsequent vote. Included in the union's demands, according to Connelly, is the reemployment of two discharged employes, David DeCosmo and Robert Pavlick. The president of Local 23 also said the union has filed unfair labor practices chrrges against the station's management, based on al leged attempts to bribe and intimidate employes.

According to an article in Broadcast Magazine, sale of the station for $75,000 is presently being negotiated. On January 4 an application was filed with the Federal Communications Commission asking approval of transfer of the license to John R. Dorsey, part owner of Station WSMD-FM, Waldorf, Md.
