  Jerry Weinstein is dead at 73
  
    STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Services will be Monday for Jerome
  Weinstein, the former longtime editor of the Centre Daily Times, who
  died after suffering a heart attack.  He was 73.
    Weinstein, who died Friday, was editor of the newspaper from 1945
  until his retirement in 1990.  The native of Meyersdale, Somerset
  County, had suffered a heart attack at his home in State College Jan. 2.
    He became sports editor of the Times in 1937, a year before he
  graduated from Penn State.  In 1940, he was named city
  editor-managing editor.  The following year he joined The Associated
  Press and served as news editor in Philadelphia and Harrisburg.
    He rejoined the Times in 1945, after editing a newspaper
  distributed from Miami Beach, Fla., throughout the Caribbean.
    During his tenure, the Centre Daily Times grew from a six-page
  newspaper with a circulation of 1,800 to a 40-page newspaper with a
  circulation of more than 20,000.  The staff increased in size from
  three to 30.  He directed the editorial efforts of the newspaper for
  24 years, longer than any other editor of the Times or its weekly
  predecessor, The State College Times.
