Smith, of Millheim, and one to Joseph
Hammis and Miss Louise Swisher,
both of Philipsburg.
——Mr. J. L. Montgomery is mak-
ing some decided improvements to his
property on Allegheny street. He
has had the bottom of the cellar under
his house concreted and has men now
at work putting down a concrete pave-
ment and curb along his lot on Lamb
street.
Daniel Rhinesmith, of Clear-
field, came to Centre county last week
and took - personal charge of the
Rhinesmith farm in Benner township.
While he will not move his family
here he may find it necessary to spend
most of the summer here in looking
after the farm work.
——The Pennsylvania Match com-
pany has received several car loads
of block wood for making matches
and is now in full operation again
after several shut-downs on account
of lack of wood. The company, by
the way, has erders for many car
loads of matches and will be kept
busy for months turning them out.
——Notwithstanding the fact that
that war has been declared the Scen-
ic will continue to show the best of
motion pictures for the entertainment
of the public. In fact, patrons of that
up-to-date moving picture show may
in the near future have an opportuni-
ty of seeing just what Uncle Sam can
do in rushing war preparatiens, so be
on the watch for them.
—Sunday, April 8th, was one of
the coldest Easters that has been ex-
perienced in this locality in years. It
was not only cold and blustery all day
but considerable snow fell in the even-
ing. On Monday morning thermome-
ters in Bellefonte registered as low as
twenty degrees above zero. Cold
weather and high winds also prevail-
ed throughout Monday.
——The big electric sirene fire
alarm arrived in Bellefonte from Chi-
cago last Friday and on Wednesday
it was taken up en the hill between
the jad and court house to be tested
out. The general verdict was that as
an alarm it would be all right for
nearby places, but it is not the kind
of an alarm Bellefonte needs. In
fact it was net heard by people three
blocks distant.
——The Thespians, the well known
dramatic organization of The Penn-
sylvania State Cellege, will arrive in
Bellefonte this morning from Tyrone
and this evening will close their
week’s tour with the presentation of
their play, “The Naked Truth,” at
Garman’s opera house. The Thes-
pians are so well known in Bellefonte
that the mere announcement of the
date of their appearance is assurance
of a good house.
——A most impressive part of the
Easter Tuesday service at St. John’s
Episcopal church was the dedication
of a beautiful silk flag, presented by
Mrs. Mary C. Harris, Mrs. John M.
Shugert and Mrs. J. M. Curtin, as a
memorial to the late Dr. George Faix-
lamb Harris. The flag will have a
place in the chancel of the church and
is a splendid tribute to one who serv-
ed his country so faithfully and well
during the Civil war, and whose fidel-
ity to his church was so implicit and
constant.
——A delightful social gathering
tosk place at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Hoy, on the Harrison
Kline farm, on Tuesday, when Mr.
Hoy arranged a birthday surprise par-
ty for his wife. Between forty and
fifty neighbors and friends were pres-
ent and the time passed very pleas-
antly for all. Dr. A. M. Schmidt with
Mrs. Schmidt and their son William
were. among those present and the
doctor made a happy little talk ap-
propriate to the occasion. Mr. and
Mrs. Hoy have retired from active
farm life, the farm now being looked
after by their son-in-law and daugh-
ter, Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Bierley.
CENTRE COUNTY MOVING TO
PREPARE.
The First Steps Toward Mobilizing
Qur Industrial and Agricultural
Resources and Providing a Home
Defense Taken at a Meeting at
Boalsburg Wednesday Night.
Much will be expected from Centre
county. Much ought to be expected
from a great, rich industrial and ag-
ricultural region like ours.
Recently the Governor of the Com-
monwealth appointed Lieut. Theodore
Davis Boal, of Boalsburg, and Dr. E.
E. Sparks, president of The Pennsyl-
vania State College, as representa-
tives for Centre county on the state
committee of Public Safety. Lieut.
Boal at once went to Harrisburg to
confer with the Governor as to his
plans for mobilizing the resources of
the State. He was advised to appoint
a general committee of approximate-
ly twenty-five for Centre county and
get to work AT ONCE. Acting upon
this advice Lieut. Boal called the
following gentlemen to meet him at
his home in Boalsburg, Wednesday
afternoon at 5:30.
C. G. Avery Philipsburg; Hon. A.
G. Morris, Judge Henry C. Quigley,
Hon. Ellis L. Orvis, Col. W. F. Rey-
nolds, Col. Hugh S. Taylor, Chas. M.
McCurdy, Harry Keller, Edmund
Blanchard, John Blanchard, J. Linn
Harris and Geo. R. Meek, Bellefonte;
Dr. Walter Kurtz, Howard; D. F.
Kapp, W. L. Foster, I. L. Holmes,
State College; Ward Gramley, Mill-
heim; Hon. Wm. Allison, Spring
Mills; C. T. Bartholomew and Edward
Bailey, Centre Hall; Dr.. Kidder,
Boalsburg; David Chambers, Snow
Shoe; Capt. H. L. Curtin, Curtin;
James Reed, Pine Grove Mills.
All being present but two Lieut.
Boal called the meeting to order and
informally presented the plans the
Governor desires worked out. A per-
manent organization was then effect-
ed by the selection of the following
officers:
Chairman, Lieut. Theodore Davis
Boal.
Vice chairman, Col. W. F. Reynolds.
Secretary, Geo. R. Meek.
Executive committee: The vice
chairman, the secretary, C. G. Avery,
I. L. Holmes and Ward Gramley.
The committee then began a gener-
al discussion of ways and means by
which Centre county can be rallied to
active co-operation with the nation-
wide movement to conserve and pro-
tect public utilities, public buildings,
water supplies, agricultural resourc-
es and provide in each populous dis-
trict a citizen’s emergency guard for
home defense.
Many suggestions were made bear-
ing on the various matters and it was
finally deemed advisable to organize
these branches of service under sepa-
rate committees, whereupon a partial
list was made as follows:
AGRICULTURAL RESOLRCES.
D. F. Kapp, State College, chair-
man; Wm. Allison, Spring Mills; Dr.
Kurtz, Howard.
HOME DEFENSE.
H. S. Taylor, Bellefonte, chairman;
W. L. Foster, State College; H. W.
Todd, Philipsburg.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
~ Charles McCurdy, Bellefonte, chair-
man; David Chambers, Snow Shoe; C.
T. Bartholomew, Centre Hall.
PUBLICITY COMMITTEE.
Edmund Blanchard, Bellefonte,
chairman; Edward Bailey, Centre
Hall; Chas. Green, Philipsburg.
The general committee was then
enlarged by the selection of the Hon.
Henry Meyer, of Rebersburg; H. Ww.
Todd and Charles Green, of Philips-
burg; John D. Miller, Hublersburg;
I. G. Burket, Stormstown; Bud
Thompson, Martha Furnace; and A.
S. Cross, Powelton, to represent their
various communities.
PLANS FOR HOME DEFENSE.
While it is not probable that in a
community like Centre county there
will be much need for a home guard,
preparedness means being ready for
any emergency. To quell riots that
might be started by various causes in
sections where foreign elements pre-
vail in such numbers as to make its
local police force inadequate to handle
them and from the thousand and one
causes that war’s excitement might
produce. The suggestion was made
that the local fire companies in each
community be delegated to organize
for this purpose. They are men train-
ed to respond to calls on a moment’s
notice and if a squad of each compa-
ny were deputized and directed to re-
spond instantly to a police signal
alarm sounded by the usual fire alarm
of the community the home defense
problem could probably be solved
more efficiently through that medium
than any other.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.
It was the unanimous opinion of
everyone present that in the grave
crisis that confronts our nation to-
day that the man with the hoe may
play just as important a roll as the
man with the gun, and the man in the
furrow will be quite as necessary as
the man in the trench. To this end a
general plan for urging intensified
farming and gardening in Centre
county was mapped out. It will be
more fully developed at a meeting to
be held in the court house in Belle-
fonte next Tuesday evening at 7:30
o’clock.
The time is here for action. It is
up to every resident of Centre coun-
ty to enthusiastically do his or her
part, however small, in the work of
preparing for every emergency. War
justifies no one in taking chances on
anything. We must be ready.
Lieut. Boal entertained the entire
committee at a buffet luncheon before
its deliberations were begun.
Bellefonte Youths Rush to Enlist.
Just twenty-five young men of
Bellefonte applied for enlistment in
Troop L at its regular meeting in the
armory on Tuesday evening. Of this
number six were examined and sworn
into service; seven were examined
and passed and the other twelve will
be examined at a later date. Follow-
ing is the list:
Examined and sworn in—W. F.
Reynolds Jr., Paul J. Haag, Henry
Keller Jr., Robert Willard, Charles
Doll and Gideon C. Payne. The latter
took the examination for admission
to the navy but finally decided to join
Troop L.
Examined and passed.—Hugh C.
Daley, Chauncey DeLong, George
Tate, Claire Lyon, William Aikey,
Harry Sager and Earl Teaman.
Other applications.—John Klinger,
John Bottorf, John Nortor, Paul Tea-
man, Samuel Koch, William Howard,
Chester. Kuhn, Claire Hazel, Harry
Hockenberry, Edward Brooks, Mi-
chael Torsell and M. J. Locke.
Robert Valentine has enlisted for
the hospital corps and Fred Lane for
the aviation corps.
After the serious werk of the even-
ing was over all present were served
with a lunch prepared by Mrs. White-
man and the evening wound up with
an impromptu smoker.
According to Wednesday's papers
the War Department has issued an
order that all members of the Nation-
al Guard who have any one dependent
upon them, be it wife, parents or sis-
ters must be dropped from the roll
and no such men enlisted. If this is
correct and the order enforeed it will
result in a very decided change in the
personnel of Troop L. 1
soe
To Enlist Army of Suffragists.
Actual enlisting of every member
of the army of suffragists in Pennsyl-
vania for patriotic work will be begun
April 18 and 19 at the spring confer-
ence of the Pennsylvania Woman Suf-
frage Association to be held in Har-
risburg.
The conference, suffrage leaders an- |
nounce, will be asked to ratify the
plan of enrolling members in one of
the four following divisions:
Employment bureaus for women.
Department for training women for
agricultural work and elimination of
waste.
Co-operation with Red Cross socie-
ty.
Department for the Americaniza-
tion of aliens.
It is expected that the delegates
will agree to the formation of the four
divisions to be under the direction of
a general central committee—the first
to enroll women and classify them ac-
cording to the service they desire to
perform. The second will train wom-
en to do agricultural work in gardens
and on farms. The third will assist
in Red Cross work, and the fourth will
work among foreigners.
Large delegations are expected to
attend the conference from every
county, and the business of the State
Suffrage organization will be facili-
tated as much as possible to give time
for thorough discussion of war work.
In addition to the business sessions,
there will be a public meeting the
night of April 18, when United States
Commissioner of Immigration, Fred-
erick C. Howe, will deliver a lecture
on “After The War—What?” an ad-
dress dealing with problems expected
to arise after the declaration of peace.
Penn State Students to Be Examined
for Army.
Examinations for appointment in
the officers’ reserve corps are to be
held at State College within the next
few weeks. Students at The Penn-
sylvania State College who want
commissions in the army were on
Tuesday notified by the government
military authorities that a special ex-
aming board will be convened at the
College shortly. It is expected that
several hundred students who have
had two years’ military training un-
der regular army officers will under-
go examination.

Patriotism and Preparedness in (entre County,
FOURTEEN YOUNG MEN ENLIST.
i
Bellefonte Youths Not Backward in|
Offering Serviees to Country.
Last week the “Watchman” con- |
tained the exclusive announcement |
that a number of Bellefonte High
school students as well as other young |
men of the town had volunteered for
service in the United States navy and
that an examining officer would be |
here on Monday to make a physical ex-
amination of the young men. The an-
nouncement evidently inspired others
to do likewise and when first class
gunner’s mate W. O. O’Connell came
here from the recruiting office at Wil-
liamsport on Monday afternoon he
was confronted with just sixteen ap-,
plicants, as follows:
A. Linn McGinley Jr., a son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. Linn McGinley.
John Smith, son of ex-Register J.
Frank Smith.
Robert Taylor, son of R. B. Taylor. |
Allen Cruse, son of Mrs. Charles |
Cruse.
William CecClure, son of Mr. and
Mrs. William McClure.
Gideon Payne, son of Mrs. Mary
James F. McCulley, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph McCulley.
Paul Eberhart, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Eberhart.
Joseph Sourbeck, son of J ohn Sour-
beck Jr.
Willard Apt, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joesph Apt Jr.
Harry Wetzel, son of Mrs. HO M.
Wetzel.
Donald Gettig, son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. H. Gettig.
William Malone, Elmer Long and
William Fulton, all Bellefonte boys,
and Malcolm Wetzler, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank L. Wetzler, of Milesburg.
Of the above sixteen all passed the
examination and were accepted but
two, Donald Gettig, who was refused
on account of his eyes, and Harry
Wetzel, whese acceptance is doubtful
owing to the condition of his eyes.
James McCulley accompanied gun-
ner’s mate O'Connell to Williamsport
on Monday evening and will enter up-
on his term of service at once. The
other young men are under orders to
report at Newport, Rhode Island, on
April 23rd to go into training for sev-
eral months when they will be assign-
ed to the coast guard service. Young
Wetzler, who has been a member of
Our Boys band of Milesburg ever
since it was organized, will be assign-
ed to the Marine band as a trombone
player.
As stated in the beginning of this
article a number of the above boys
are members of the Senior class at
the Bellefonte High school and all in
good standing. Hence at a meeting
of the school board on Monday even-
ing it was unanimously voted to give
all of them their diplomas, so that so
far as their educatienal standing is
concerned they will not lose anything
by enlisting at this time.
When the examiner got through
with the above list of young men
William Bailey, Boyd Kelly, Blair
Markle, Anthony Wasson and Charles
Tressler, all members of Theodore
Davis Boal’s machine gun troop made
application for a transfer from that
organization into the navy but as
gunner’s mate O'Connell has no au-
thority to make the transfer all he
could do for them was to advise that
the matter be taken up with the War
and Navy departments and it was
quite likely a transfer could be secur-
ed in due time.
Guards On Duty in Bellefonte.
Last Saturday afternoon seven men
were sworn in as deputy sheriffs and
placed on duty as guards at the Titan
Metal company plant near Milesburg.
The entire output of this plant now
goes to the United States government
and while there is no reason to sup-
pose that anybody hereabouts has any
designs on the plant it was believed
a good precautionary measure to put
guards on duty. A big search light
has also been installed on top of the
building which illuminates that en-
tire neighborhood.
On Saturday night a guard was
also placed at the Bellefonte reservoir
and one at the big spring to guard the
town’s water supply. Practically all
the guards at present are local men
but their names is a matter of minor
importance. They are all well armed
and have orders to shoot if anyone at-
tempts to interfere in any way with
the property they have been appoint-
ed to guard. So if you have any bus-
iness in the locality in which they
hold nightly vigil make yourself and
your business known at once, if chal-
lenged, and if you have no business
there stay away. You will thus avoid
any unpleasantness.
