In response to a call of J udge Ellis L.

On motion a comm ittee of nine prominent gentlemen was appointed whose duty it will be to help the cause along in their section of the county. The committee includes Philip E. Womelsdorf, of Philipsburg; Thomas Budinger Jr., Snow Shoe; H. Laird Curtin, Curtin; Hon. John T. McCormick, State College; Harry C. Shirk, Centre Hall; S. Ward Gram- ley, Millheim; Col. H. S. Taylor, Hard P. Harris and Dr. D. G. Stewart, Bellefonte. Centre countians ought to enter into ing to the fact that this county has been state highway, the “Good Roads Day” with a vim, ow- favored with a very good mileage of and the people ought to be willing to give some attention to the township roads. In this connection the following proclamation has been formu- lated by the above committee and is being sent to the public with the approval of Judge Orvis, who is president of the Supervisor's association of Centre county: WHEREAS, His Excellency, Martin G. Brumbaugh, Governor o has by proclamation, set apart Wednesday, and in said proclamation has called upon al f Pennsylvania, May 26, 1915, as “Good Roads Day,” 1 good citizens of the Commonwealth to participate by manual labor, wherever possible, and by money and team in lieu of manual labor in the bettering of the pu WHEREAS, Movement” tion with the supervisors of the eral boroughs of the county; Now, therefore, all able-bodied men of Centre county, The citizens of Centre county have organized a and appointed a central committee to act ! several townships and the authorities of th blic roads of the Commonwealth; and “Good Roads in harmony and Co-opera- e sev- as well as all good citi- zens, are requested and urged in compliance with the proclamation of the Gov- ernor, and with the duties and responsibilities of good citi zenship to participate in the work of repairing and improving the public roads under the supervision of the local road authorities and are urged to provide able-bodied and willing labor by paying the wages thereof. «All citizens are therefore urged and requested to at once communicate with the road authorities of their respective boroughs and townships in order to learn where their personal services sh likewise requested and urged, son co-operate with their fellow citizens in the work of times prior thereto, to consult and advise with their fel manner of utilizing volunteer labor and assistance of t all be best required and utilized.

CHANEY, Secretary. “Good Roads Day.” President Centre Co. Supervisor's Ass'n. Another Lime Industry Possible. While the WATCHMAN has no definite information in the matter there are many rumors afloat to the effect that the Mec- Nitt Bros., Lawrence McMullen and oth- ers have about perfected plans to take over the limestone rights on the Brocker- hoff farms, east of town, for the purpose of development and operation. The story has it that they will also buy a section of the old Nittany Valley R. R,, thus giving them railroad connections with both the P. R. R. and the C. R. R. of Pa. If there is anything in these rumors it would appear that the lime and stone business is proving very profitable in this : section, for A. A. Stevens, Esq., of Ty- rone, has just had completed a survey for a railroad that will extend from the B. E. V. tracks near Curtin, through the ' Curtin Gap, to the Curtin farm which ' Mr. Stevens bought some time ago. This would open up extensive fields of the “Bellefonte vein” of limestone lying east of here, for the Curtin farm has large deposits of it and the Furst farm next, for which Mr. Stevens is said to have made a very tempting offer, also has considerable stone. — pe HiGH ScHOOL COMMENCEMENT NOTES. —Thirty-nine young men and women will graduate from the Bellefonte High school at the thirty-second annual com- mencement, which will be held next week Examinations have been com- pleted and first honors have been award- ed to Francis Van Valin, of Unionville, and second honors to Miss Henrietta Quigley, of Bellefonte.
