>From the front page:

"Charleroi Men Are Improving After Explosion
Attorney Roy I. CARSON and garage
proprietor A.D. SPENCER, are improving today following
the Saturday afternoon motorboat explosion which
burned them badly and destroyed the craft.
Both SPENCER and CARSON were at their respective
offices today, although they will continue to receive
medical attention for severe burns about the face and
hands. The men were caught in an explosion of
gasoline vapors which had collected in the craft and
were set off after a tarpaulin was removed. The
acccident occurred at SPENCER's summer retreat on Deep
Creek Lake, Md.
CARSON, who is president of the Washington County
Bar Association had third degree burns on the right
hand and second degree burns on the face and ears.
SPENCER received thrid degree burns on the fingers,
second degree burns on the hands and face.
Wives of the two men and Mr. and Mrs. J. Scott
SKELLY of Monongahela, who were waiting outside the
boathouse to board the craft escaped injury."


Of interest, there is also a very small front page
article stating that women, as well as men, will be
"permitted" to enroll in "tuition-free 15-week courses
designed to qualify students as materials and ordnance
inspectors and staff assistants in industrial plants."
These were courses given at Penn State's Industrial
Engineering College.



>From Page 8:
