He has been in the insurance and realty business in Bellefonte since 1957 ; although he graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor of science degree in education. County government is no longer a caretaker type of goVernment; it is big business, according to John Saylor, a Democratic state committeeman and candidate for the Democratic nomination for county commissioner. Revenue sharing is a "very key, new" issue in Centre County, Saylor said, adding that he feels there is no adequate method for the public to participate in the decisions on how the money will be used. ' "We must have more public input or recommendations," Saylor said. That input could be , received through open hearings or written requests, he said. :" To give "the workingman more access to county govern ment," Saylor said.he would have evening or Saturday office hours. Saylor said he sees some inequities in property assessment taxes. He called the.situation intolerable and said he would like to inform people on how to appeal their assessments. "The elderly are the most underprivileged in Centre County," Saylor said. "This county has not kept up with the surrounding counties in providing housing, care and en tertainment for the elderly.

Auto sales hit new low level the ( UPl)—The number of U.S.-built cars sold in the second 10 days of March fell nearly 29 per cent from last year's already depressed levels to a 14-year low, the four major auto companies reported yesterday. Sales dropoffs of 23 to 31 per cent were experienced by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors. The declines were noted in their second sales reports since extensive sales—stimulating • rebates ended. Only Chrysler carried a modified rellile program into March. Sales for the mid-March period were 175,674 cars, compared with 246,551 in the same period last year and 44 per cent below the record of 280,701 sold in the period in 1973 when the auto industry was heading toward a record year. ' Despite the sharp dropoff from year-ago sales, industry executives pointed out the mid-March sales were up 12 per cent from March 1-10 levels. For the first 20 days of the month, sales were off 19 per cent from a year ago. One bright spot was the reception given the new small, wide American Motors Pacer which was introduced Feb. 28. It accounted 'for 44 per cent of the 9,013 cars sold by AMC in the March 11-20 period. The AMC sales dropped 27.7 per cent from last year when the company couldn't meet demand for its small cars during the gasoline shortage. GM said it's sales were off 30.2 per cent from year-ago levels that were inflated by salgs contests. Chrysler deliveries dropped 31.3 per cent and Ford sales were off 24.5 per cent. Industry executives-Were able to find some encouraging signs in the statistics. "The continuing, strengthening of the marketplace may well signal not only the start of the spring selling season, but also the underlying improvement in factors that in fluence buyer decisions," said Mack W. Worden,GM vice president for sales. Despite the lower sales levels, which had been expected after the ending of the $2OO to $6OO rebates, automakers are scheduling higher. output going into the traditional higher spring and summer sales period. Industry ob servers expect a higher sales tempo to result in the callback of some of the 212,000 hpurly workers still on open-ended layoffs. Ward's Automotive Reports, the industry's statistical service, estimates April-June auto production will total 1,865,000 cars, down 10 per cent from last year's levels but up 44 per cent from the first quartetof this year. General Motors reported sales of 92,609 cars in the March 11-20 period, compared with 132,648 last year, to bring its sales so far this year to within 4.4 per cent of the 1974 pace. Ford said it sold 48,245 cars in the period and is now 17 per cent off lastyear's pace while Chrysler reported sales of 25,807 cars to leave its year-to-date sales lagging 22.6 per cent below 1974.
