Graff, a native of Reading,
bought the business in 1965
and decided to specialize in

his pleasure in acting as

incumbent in the 102nd
Legislative District which
covers parts of Lancaster,
Lebanon and Berks Coun­ties.

the race against Moehlmann

Moehlmann fo r not
providing a vigorous voice
for the people in Harrisburg.
Zeck feels he is qualified
for this position because of

people of the district is as
follows:
“I will serve the people of
my District to the fullest.
“I would refund to the
State Treasury all expense
account money which was
not used for true office ex­pense.
“ I am in favor of
Streamlining Pennsylvania
Government if need be and
re d u c e th e size of
Legislature in both Houses to
conserve some wasteful
spending. I have a com­mitted
desire to get all able
bodied welfare people to
earn their own income.
Other states have done this
and I will try to do the same
to accomplish this in Penn­sylvania.
“I am convinced that State
and Federal office holders
must improve Government
operational expenses to
improve our inflation
problem.
“I would like to help solve
the problem of energy and
the cost of energy to senior
citizens and our young law
income married people with
two or more children.
“I am a very strong ad­vocate
on our present
Nuclear Energy problem
which I consider one of our
very serious problems. I will
pledge to demand better
safety control, solve the
waste problems of our plants
and try to seek energy power
from the waste material, if
possible. I will also pledge to
have our future plants, if
any, to be built miles from a
large populous.
“ I pledge to persue
voluntary conservation
energy plan and study an
alternate energy source for
solving part of overall
problems. I will support a
study to determine factfully,
if Nuclear Power is a
completely safe source of
energy for public utilities.”

Brickerville Barn Fire Suspicious
Nine fire departments
responded to what officials
called a fire of suspicious
origin, between 7:55 p.m.
and 3 a.m. last night, when
the Brickerville barn
belonging to Phillip W. Seppi
was destroyed.
The Lititz Fire Depart­ment
responded with three
trucks at 8:55 p.m., two
tanking water and one
supplying trucks by drafting
water from Speedwell Lake.
Three 17,000 gallon cisterns
were pumped dry by 9 p.m.
According to fire officials,
flames broke out at ap­proximately
7:55 p.m. in a
wood frame barn located
along Route 322, one half
mile from the Route 501
intersection. The structure
was completely engulfed
within five minutes.
Lincoln Fire Chief Randy
Gockley reported that high
winds spread flames rapidly
over the barn and then blew
embers onto neighboring
houses and fields, causing
three minor roof fires and
several brush fires that were
extinguished by the fire
companies on the scene.
Departments responding

Ephrata departments were
on standby alert.
Although the Brickerville
Fire Station is less than a
first on the scene because
they had been at the
Brickerville station while
out on a regular Tuesday
night driving training drill.
Gockley reported that his
men spotted the blaze while
they were at the Brickerville
station inspecting a new fire
engine and immediatley.
dispatched their truck to the
scene, while other -com­panies
were called.
The fire reportedly began
in a small wooden hay shed
attached at the rear of the
barn. Although there was
some electrical wiring for a
water pump and rights in the
barn, the shed had no wiring,
leading officials to label the
blaze suspicious.
Brickerville Fire Chief Sid
Adams, who was in charge of
the fire, would not make any
definite statements as to the
cause, but said the State
Police would be called in to
investigate.
The owner’s son, Carl S.
Seppi, who lives along Route
501 nearby and used the bam
ih his farming operation,
said the barn was unlocked
and there was no restraining
wall from the shed to the
main structure. The barn
measured 60 feet by 40 feet,
with a stone foundation and
tin roof.
He had approximately
