PAGE EIGHT THP PROGRESS, ClearfielcJ, Curwensville, Philipsburg, Moshannon Valfey, Monday, November 23, W. A. Shillenn (From Page 1) Mr. Shillenn said that he plans to take it easy for awhile before considering how to spend his retirement. The first thing on the Shillenn family calendar, according to him and his wife, is a vacation trip next spring.

Mr. Shillenn was born at Clear- field'in 1895 and graduated from St. Francis High School before entering the army in 1917. He trained for War 1 at Camp Lee Va. and then went to France with the United States Army for one year.

On April 1924 he began what came to be a long and friendly association with the Clearfield Post Office. In the early days, Mr. Shillenn said, he worked as a window clerk dealing with stamps and parcel post and sometimes as a mail carrier. That, he quickly added, was when the department had no trucks and a three-wheel cart was used to deliver parcel post to stores, offices and homes in the area. Since those days, however, be had been a window clerk.

It was also through the post office that he met Helen Ogden, who became his wife in 1951. Mrs. Shillenn retired after 33 years with the department in 1952. Postmaster Hinkle, who a worked with Mr. Shillenn for the past 15 years, said that his work was more than satisfactory.

Since the Post Office Department, Mr. Hinkle explained, sells service as well as stamps, Mr. Shillenn's well- rounded personality was invaluable in dealing with the public. The postmaster added that "he did an outstanding job." State Police Report (From Page 1) driven by Samuel PeCasper, 20, 325 Wrigley one mile north of the borough line on Route 153 at 9:15 p. m.

and Time, collided over the quiz show fixes. A Time magazine article Nov. 16 accused the networks of ignoring a story in a 1957 issue of Time which hinted some quiz shows were rigged. NBC Board Chairman Robert W. Sarnoff Sunday retorted that several Time- owned stations also ignored the article.

Weston C. Pullen Jr. vice president for broadcasting of Time, promptly conceded that Time, should have dropped the quiz shows from its stations. "I regret that we did not," said Pullen. "Like Mr.

Sarnoff and others, we learned a lesson." Time, owns four television stations--KLZ-TV, Denver, a Columbia Broadcasting System affiliate; WCTN-TV, Minneapolis, an American Broadcasting Co. affiliate; WFBM-TV, an NBC affiliate; Indianapolis, and WOOD, Grand Rapids, affiliated with both NBC and ABC. Time recently sold KTVT, Salt Lake City, to Columbia Pictures. Conference Urged (From Page 1) also endorsed the idea of resuming tax talks. Howev an administration spokesman indicated Gov.

Lawrence is still backing the proposed tax on stocks and bonds. "The governor has not changed his position that the House has passed the stocks and bonds tax bill and that the 55 million dollar revenue resulting from such a tax is adequate to finance increased subsidies for public schools," he said. But Senate Republican leaders say the measure has no chance of passage. Deaf Boy Admits (From Page 1) -George's father, Henry Martens, is an Olathe building contractor. Olathe is on the southwestern fringe of Kansas City's metropolitan area.

Steven left home Saturday afternoon on his bike to play at a schoolground two blocks away. A search was started when he didn't return, and his body was found early Sunday about 200 yards from the nearest house. Bicycle tracks in the field led officers to question young Martens. At the scene ot the slaying, George demonstrated with up and down motions of his hand how he repeatedly stabbed the Moscoe boy. Although young Martens has a voice, his words are unintelligible to the average person.
