OLORFUL WUm 1 Trailer Rolls, Hits Vehicles A huge tractor-trailer parked in the 500 block of Centre Free-land, yesterday morning slipped its brakes, rolled a short distance, and then jack-knifed, striking and damaging two parked vehicles before it came to rest across the entire length of the street. The driver, Robert Freeman, 56, Sumter, S.

Carolina, was about to unload the trailer with furniture at Pitman's Store across the street, when the air brakes failed. The rig rolled backward down the slightly inclined street, then rammed into the side of the auto of Thomas Laganosky, Freeland-White Haven highway, parked there by his wife, Anna, driving the front end against the curb and a parking meter standard, and the rear of the Ed Feist delivery truck parked in front of the Laganosky vehicle. Damage to the Laganosky vehicle was "extensive," exceeding $1,000 by police estimate, and to the rear of Feist truck, $400 to $500. The trailer was not damaged. Officer John Gallagher of the Freeland police, who investigated, said the tractor-trailer is owned by Ardis M.M., Sumter, and leased to Carolina East Transport Co.

The driver was arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle with an expired driver's license and for failure to turn off the motor of an unattended vehicle. He pleaded guilty to both counts before Magistrate Electra O'Don-nell, Freeland, and paid fines and costs. The rig remained parked on Centre Street while the company dispatched another driver to Free-i land to drive it away. FIRST FRIDAY First Friday of the month observance of the mass and receipt of holy communion will take place tomorrow in Freeland area Roman Catholic churches. L.L.
