The Incident occurred about 1:15 P. M. on Nov. 21 in a heavily wooded area of state game land at Bear Ijike, Ijchigh Township, near Thornhurst.
In the signed statement, Men¬ dola .said he had been 'tempted to give myself up." According to the statement, he knew h* had shot someone, but got hys¬ terical  and  left  the  scene.
Mendola alno admitted in his statement that he had hid hin hunting boots "in my brother's garage in I'ittston" nnd that he had sundpupered the tiring pin and ejector of hin hunting rifle because he believed that "comparison would «hnw that his rifle uoul<l not be the same one that flred the shot."

'56 Babies Should Live 75 Years and Prosper
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. tLP>—If your child is born during 1956 he can expect to live 75 years and he should be making J8,000 a year by the year 2,000.
Dr. William F. Ogburn, former president of both the American Sociological Society and the American Statistician Association, made the prediction.
Dr. Ogburn, now a professor at Florida State University, said a new baby will be born every eight minutes next year. These babies will marry at 20 if they are girls and at 23 if they are l>oys, he said. Pour out of five couples will be happy; one will be divorced or separated. Two out of three who get a divorce will try again.
He aaid next year's average family income will be $4,000 and it wiU be double that by the year 2,000.
