The college is not equipped Carpenters and Bricklayers May Soon be Called for Service. Contractors Gehret & Lambert last week received notice from the govern- ment that they were to rush to com- pletion any work they then had on hand as it was likely a call would be made for carpenters within the very near future. Just where the men are to be used is not known, but the same firm some time ago were asked to give a statement as to the number of men employed by them and it is like- ly the mechanics are to be requisi- tioned for work on some of the gov- ernment’s big navy yards. The request to Gehret & Lambert to hurry along their work comes at a rather inopportune time, as owing to the extreme cold weather it is impos- sible to do any but inside work. How- ever, the only unfinished contracts they now have are the Titan Metal plant, the Kelly garage and Mrs. J. Linn Harris’ farm residence near Sa- lona, and if the government requi- sitions their men the contractors will pnamage to complete these jobs in some way. . Bricklayers, also, are likely to be called for government work. The lo- cal exemption board has been asked how many, if any, bricklayers there are in Centre county who will come within the next call, or the first call | under the questionnaires, as they are wanted for work abroad. Just how many Centre county has in this class | has not yet been compiled. New Cheese Factory at Axe Mann. Nick James, Mack Pitter and three other Greeks whose names could not be learned, have leased the old red store room at Axe Mann and are hav- ing it remodeled and put in shape for a cheese factory. They are now bid- ding seven cents a quart for milk and hope to be able to start up in the near futare. Just what they intend to make has not been learned but if it is roquefort and limburger it should prove a strong industry. Red Cross Drive a Big Success. Owing to the slowness of some of | the canvassers in making their re- turns wé are unable to give the exact | result of the big Red Cross drive con- ducted in Bellefonte the week before Christmas, but it was a big success at that; in fact far greater than even the most sanguine of the managers anticipated. In Bellefonte alone about 2,500 members were enrolled while the Auxiliaries attached to the Bellefonte Chapter report about 500 additional. While the time for voluntary enlistments of men between the ages of 21 and 31 expired on December 13th men are still needed for the Reserve Force of the navy and those between the ages of 31 and 45 will be accepted. Particulars will be fur- nished upon inquiry to Geo. R. Meek, secretary of the committee for Public Safety for Centre county. ———e- The bear hunting season closed — The inmates of the western Monday, and thus endeth the hunt- penitentiary at Rockview staged their annual minstrel show and entertain- | ing for another year.

The following letters have been handed to the “Watchman” for publi- cation to show the women of Belle- fonte just how much the soldier boys of the town appreciated their efforts in sending them Christmas boxes: Camp Hancock, Ga., December 18, 1917. To the Woman’s Club, Bellefonte, Pa. The seven boxes containing the Christmas presents for the troop and the hospital corps arrived safely, and were this week distributed to the dif- ferent men in their new assignments. This was a big job, as some of the men are in the 108th and 109th field artillery, 103rd regiment of engineers, the signal battalion, military police, veterinary corps, the U. S. arsenal in Augusta, and the new mechanics reg- | iment, but everybody was located and I feel very sure no one was missed. If you could but know with what great pleasure the men received these boxes and how delighted they were, you would feel well paid for your trouble and work in this big under- taking, for it must have been that. To solicit and pack sucha large num- ber of boxes was wonderful indeed. Every man wishes to express to the Woman’s club his appreciation of this generosity, and I am sure that each one feels that in making this military effort, he will repay in a measure these many kindnesses, and keep fresh in his mind his loyalty to Centre county and our country. With many thanks and with the very best Christmas wishes for all the members of your club, I am, Very truly yours, H. IL. CURTIN, Camp Meade, Md, December 18, 1917. The fifteen Christmas packages ar- rived yesterday afternoon and were distributed last evening. We were able to give presents to nearly all of the remaining Centre county foreign- ers, a great number having been transferred to other commands. I am about to depart for special guard duty and may not be free to write for several days; therefore I take advantage of these few spare moments to express the gratitude of the men for the presents showered up- on them. The Bellefonte women are to be lauded for their great generos- ity. In closing let me thank you for en- trusting the packages to my care be- cause it certainly was a pleasure to distribute them. Respectfully yours. BASIL J. 1. MOTT, PLEASANT GAP ITEMS. J. W. Gill is visiting with his broth- er, at Huntingdon. ‘ H. L. Russo spent a few days iast week with friends at Brooklyn, N.Y. W. A.

The elder brother plunged heroically into the breach. “Pretty well,” he said, “but I pre- fer Chianti.” Nothing more was said on this sub- ject until the brothers were on their way home. “Bill,” said the younger brother, breaking a painful silence, “why can’t you leave things that you don’t under- stand to me?
