Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided June 29, 1977.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph A. Campagna, Jr., Sunbury, for appellant.

Charles E. Duncan, Jr., Shamokin, submitted a brief, for appellee.

Before WATKINS, President Judge, and JACOBS, HOFFMAN, CERCONE, PRICE, VAN der VOORT, and SPAETH, JJ.
