ITEM 1.	Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 50,966,856 shares of 
Capital Stock, par value $.20 per share.  The holders of shares of Capital 
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters 
submitted to a vote of shareholders and are entitled to receive dividends 
when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally 
available therefor and to share ratably in the assets legally available for 
distribution to the holder of Capital Stock in the event of the liquidation or 
dissolution of the Company.  Holders of Capital Stock do not have 
cumulative voting rights in the election of directors and have no 
preemptive, subscription or conversion rights.  Except with respect to 
"control shares" described below, the Capital Stock is not subject to 
redemption by the Company.

Pursuant to Subchapter 25G of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law 
(the Control-Share Acquisitions Subchapter), any person (or group) who 
engages or proposes to engage in a "control-share acquisition" (such a 
person (or group) is referred to as an "acquiring person") is entitled to 
voting rights with respect to "control shares" only after the shareholders of 
the Company approve the granting of such voting rights.  Control shares 
are those shares over which voting power has been acquired, or is sought to 
be acquired, by the acquiring person, if such voting power, when added to 
the voting power held by such person or group over other shares, would 
result in such person or group having voting power in any one of three 
specified ranges:  20 percent to 33-1/3 percent, 33-1/3 percent to 50 
percent, and 50 percent or more of the votes eligible to be cast in an 
election of directors of the Company (a "control-share acquisition").  A 
control-share acquisition only occurs the first time each of the three ranges 
is entered.  Also included as control shares are shares acquired by such 
person within 180 days of, or with the intention of, such person engaging 
in a control-share acquisition.  A shareholder is not considered an 
"acquiring person" for purposes of this subchapter by voting or giving 
consent if the shareholder is not itself seeking to acquire control of the 
Company, is not bound to support an acquiring person and does not receive 
special consideration from an acquiring person different from that received 
by all other shareholders.  Similarly, a shareholder is not considered an 
"acquiring person" if the shareholder acquires voting power in excess of the 
three specified ranges by virtue of holding revocable proxies that were 
solicited in accordance with applicable law, for which no consideration was 
provided and which must be voted in accordance with the instructions 
specified by the giver of the proxy.


At any meeting called to restore voting rights to control shares, the 
proposal to restore, the voting rights must be considered in two separate 
votes, the first involving all the shares of the Company entitled to vote as of
the record date set by the Company's board of directors as specified under 
existing Pennsylvania law, and the second involving only the "disinterested 
shares."  Disinterested shares are those shares of the Company (a) not 
owned by the acquiring person, by directors who are also officers, by 
executive officers and by certain employee plans of the Company and (b) 
that have been owned continuously by the same holder for the period 
beginning on the last to occur of:  (i) five days before the acquiring person, 
or another acquiring person if there are multiple bidders for the Company, 
first announced its intention to engage in a control-share acquisition, (ii) 12
months prior to the record date described above, or (iii) October 17, 1989 
and ending on the record date described above.  A majority of all votes 
entitled to be cast in each vote would be required to pass any resolution 
according voting rights to such control shares.

The Control-Share Acquisitions Subchapter authorizes the Company, on 
certain conditions, to redeem control shares within two years of the 
consummation of the control-share acquisition if the acquiring person does 
not file a required information statement with the Company within thirty 
days of completing the control-share acquisition, or if the control shares are 
not accorded full voting rights by the shareholders pursuant to the 
procedures described above or if voting rights are accorded but 
subsequently lapse.
