Little Albert Siglin, son of Mr.

Dallas, lies in a deep coma at Gen-
eral Hospital as a rapidly growing
brain tumor is bringing his brief
life span to an end.
The four-year old, who has had
trouble with motion for some time,
underwent surgery six weeks ago
revealing that the tumor was not |
removable.
Further surgery two weeks ago
was done to allow drainage and an-
other operation was performed July
19. Shortly thereafter convulsions
set in and strong sedatives were |
necessary for control. ‘Soon after |
the boy sank into the coma from:
which there has been no awakening. |

side, hoping against hope for some
change although doctors have
warned that the end is fast ap-
proaching.

Sweet Valley To
Benefit From
Rate Revision
| Improved Service
Will Result As
Pattern Changes
Base rate area revisions to be
filedMonday, August 1, with the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Com-
mission will affect annual savings
of $1,538.40 for 71 Sweet Valley
customers who are paying mileage
charges, says R. E. Koeb, District
Manager, of the Commonwealth |
Telephone - Company. If approved
by the P.U.C., these tariff revisions
will go into effect October 1.
Revisions are the result of the
company’s program during the past
two years during which time
$40,000 was invested in outside
plant facilities. Another $25,000
will be invested for additional cen-
tral office equipment.
Savings and improved service
will result from extension of the
| present base rate area and estab- |
| lishment of a new zone rate area. |
{/ The base rate area will be extend-
| ed toward Lehman along route 118 |
|and toward Lake Silkworth along
route 29. Zone rate area “1” will !
| include the area from the base rate
| area extension along route 29 to |
land including Lake Silkworth.
Seven multi-party customers lo-
cated within the base rate area ex- |
| tension will automatically be up-i
| graded to four-party service with |
no increase in rates, while 66 multi- |
| party customers located in the new /
zone rate areas will receive one or
two-party service at wig
reduced mileage charges.
These improvements will add!
| materially to: the convenience args
| value’ of the customers’ service and |
continue Commonwealth’s policy of |
giving the best possible service at |
the lowest possible rates and aids |
in the further development of the
