"In The Jay-Kay Building"
Xmas tree thieves face charges
By PAUL CORBRAN
Collegian Staff Writer
You pull your car over to the side of
a desolate dirt road and turn the
engine off. After looking around to
make sure there is no one in sight, you
slip out of the vehicle and walk into
the nearby woods.
It's quiet, . . . the only sound you
hear is the crunching of the snow
under your feet. Your eyes are
scanning the trees as you pass until
you see one and think, "Yeah! That'll
look perfect in the living room."
Twenty minutes later you're
dragging the seven-foot pine towards
the road, still sweating from the
strenuous work of chopping it down.
Visions of sugar plums dance in your
head until you see the police car
parked behind yours.
People caught stealing trees can be
charged with theft and can receive up
to $25,000 in fines and-or up to three
years imprisonment, according to
District Magistrate Clifford H. Yorks.
Yorks said tree thieves generally
are given a third degree
misdemeanor charge of theft, but the
degree could be higher depending on
Pa. officials back pregnancy coverage
HARRISBURG (AP) Disability or sick leave
programs in Pennsylvania must cover pregnant
employees, despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court
ruling, the state Human Relations Commission said
yesterday.
The high court ruled last Tuesday that a General
Electric disability benefits plan that excludes
pregnancy coverage does not violate the Civil
Rights Act or the equal protection safeguards of the
Constitution.
"Nothing in the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion
persuades us that our interpretation of the state law

but said in a report to the
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare that
some form of tax credit or
negative income "is
promising."
"A national policy for
children and families should
begin with a program to
ensure that families have the
minimum income necessary
to provide adequate food,
shelter and care for their
children," said the report by
an advisory committee on
child development with the
NAS National Research
Council.
Panelists explained at a
news conference that for a

is either incorrect or bad policy," Homer Floyd,
executive director of the commission, said in a
statement.
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act was
amended in 1969 to prohibit sexual discrimination
against employees. Floyd said, "The Pennsylania
Supreme Court is the final authority for the in
terpretation of the . . . Act."
The commission has a case pending in Com
monwealth Court on the pregnancy-disability issue.
Floyd said in a telephone interview that the same
translate to more than $7,000
a year.
The advisory committee
was created in 1971 at HEW's
request.
It said the family, as an
institution, is on the skids and
needs outside help like money
and improved health care to
cope with such pressures as
rising divorces and births to
unwed mothers.
An estimated 20 million
children receive inadequate
health care or none at all, the
report said. More than 3
million children live in
families earning less than
$5,000 a year. Some 1.8 million
school-age children have no
formal care between the
hours of school closing ,and
their parents' return from
would be sent to the Court of Common
Pleas of Centre County. Any fines or
imprisonment would be decided upon

In trying to deal with the
pressures of modern society,
families are increasingly
isolated from the institutions
that have traditionally played
a central role in family life
and the socialization of
children in this country," the
report said.
"Because of urbanization
and its attendant anonymity
and impersonality . . . and
the growing secularization of
society, the family is less
likely to receive support in its

The suspect also could be charged
with criminal mischief, Yorks said, if;
depending on the arresting officer. A
charge of criminal mischief would be
settled at the magistrate's office and
could carry up to $3OO in fines and-or
90 days in jail.
Yorks said he handles about eight
to 10 such cases every year, adding 44
that the first one of this year was
brought in this week.
State police said a dozen or so tree
thefts are reported to them each year,
but only a few have been reported so
far this year. State police added that
the percentage of such cases solved is
low because of difficulties in irivesti*,
gating them.
Yorks said • most of the people
caught stealing Christmas trees are
students from fraternities and par-•
tment houses. "It would be a lot
cheaper and a lot better if they would
just go out and buy one," Yorks said.
He added that even if the tree thief
survives the risk of a criminal record,
it costs more to have the case settled
than it does to buy a tree.
court already has ruled once in favor of coverage
for pregnant women in 1975.
He said the court's opinion read, "Pregnancy is a
physical disability, although naturally limited to
women, which may not be treated differently from
other long-term physical disabilities suffered by all
employees." t
Floyd also said that Pennsylvania, unlike the
United States, has , adopted an Equal Rights
Amendment to,its Constitution, prohibiting sexual
discrimination.
