PHILIP ZONG

  At the Nason hospital, Roaring Spring, Philip Zong, aged 49, died 
yesterday morning of injuries received the day previous at the Standard 
Refractories company's plant at Claysburg.  Mr. Zong, who was a 
machinist employed at the plant, was working on improvements to one of 
the buildings.  He was on a high scaffold and somehow his hold slipped 
and he fell to the frozen earth beneath, sustaining a broken leg, 
broken ribs and a broken shoulder, besides internal injuries.  He was 
taken to the Roaring Spring hospital, where he was made as comfortable 
as possible until death came.  He is survived by his wife.  Funeral 
services will be held at his late home on Sunday evening and the body 
will be taken away on Monday morning for interment.
