Spangler. They had been inside discussing the trees.
$50,651
are brought
into Marietta by filing a form;
more Federal $$ expected soon
A committee appointed
by the Marietta Borough
Council has brought in
$50,651 for Marietta. The
money will be used to plant
trees.
The temporary commit-
tee, consisting of council-
man Ken Ross, Harry
Hartman, Harold Kulman,
Jay Roberts, Father Red,
and Robert Spangler, got
the money by sending an
application to the Lancaster
-Lebanon Manpower Con-
sortium. The money will go
to the Marietta Council,
which will buy the trees
and hire CETA workers to
plant them.
The Borough will hire
the workers—four arborists
(tree planters) and one
foreman—out of a selection
of candidates sent by the
State Employment Agency.
Tree planting will start
downtown and move out
along major streets. The
species of trees to be
planted are yet to be
decided, but they won’t be
saplings, but rather half
-grown, 12 inch diameter
plants.
Damaged or inferior
trees now in place may be
removed in some cases.
‘““We’re hoping for dona-
tions from from individuals
and the Council to make
the project even better,’
said Harold Kulman, who
drew up the proposal. Even
if the funds are limited to
the basic fifty thousand,
though, he still feels that it
will be a ‘‘beautiful pro-
ject.”” He noted that ‘‘The
Borough has wanted to
plant trees for some time,
but couldn’t afford it.”

| \ Breckline
Former Marietta Bor.
ough department head Wil-
liam P. Breckline was
formally charged with crim-
inal theft Monday after-
noon. The charge, ‘‘theft
by failure to make required
disposition of funds,” is a
misdemeanor in the first
degree.
It carries a maximum
sentence of five years in
jail and a $10,000 fine, but
the maximum penalties are
“rarely imposed.
A preliminary hearing in
District Justice Ray Knorr’s
courtroom has been sched-
uled for Oct. 6. If the
borough and police depart-
ment of Marietta can esta-
blish a prima facie case
against Mr. Breckline at
that hearing, he will be
tried in Lancaster’s Court
of Common Pleas.
Mr. Breckline has been a
well-liked and respected
member of borough gov-
+ ernment for many years.
His sudden dismissal last
week shocked the commun-
ity.
Up to this point, both
Mr. Breckline and the
councilmen who fired him
have refused to comment
on the case, except to say
that it involves an alleged
mishandling of parking
funds.
It is known that two of
the seven councilmen voted
against Mr. Breckline’s
ouster.

Pupil transfer dispute settled
The last meeting of the
Donegal School Board was
attended by a group of
parents, who were protest-
ing the transfer of their
children from Grandview
to Seiler elementary
schools. The students had
been transferred, in an
effort to balance class
sizes, because they live in
a ‘‘swing area,’ one which
could be considered as
either Grandview or Seiler
territory.
The parents presented a
list of reasons why their
children should not be
moved, and complained of
not being informed of the
planned move sooner. The
Board apologised to the
parents but refused to
change their plans immedi-
ately.
Since the meeting the
School Board has worked
out a new arrangement
which avoids moving
children whose parents ob-
ject. Students whose par-
ents have agreed to the
move. will be transferred.A
total of 16 students were in
question.
Dale Arnold, head of the
School Board, said that the
the parents he had spoken
with were satisfied with the
new plan. He cautioned
however, that it remains to
be seen whether the plan
will work. Arrangements
may have to be altered
during the first few weeks
of school, if class balance is
not achieved.
“You can’t have 20 kids
in one class and 30 in
another,” he said.
In other business, the
Board awarded contracts
for re-roofing and heating
system renovation. The
roofing will cost $35,652,
and the heating system at
the junior high will cost
$140,001.
A permanent computer
terminal will be installed,
hooked up to the machine
at E-town College.
48 substitute teachers
were approved. Their pay
will be the same as last
year’s, $33.50 per day. —
Rick Breault and Dennis
Engle were approved as
cheerleading advisors, and
Jill Shupp and Rick Topper
were named as assistant
hockey and football
coaches, respectively.
Norlanco Medical center
staff will replace Dr.
O'Conner this year. The
Center will serve Grand-
view, Seiler, Kraybill, and
the Junior and Senior High
schools. :
