A preliminary meeting of the Chautau- qut guarantors and all others inter- ested will be held in John Blanchard’s office next Friday evening, May 16th, at 8 o’clock. Mary Pickford and other equal- ly high-class motion picture stars are featured in the pictures shown at the Lyric theatre. Lyric programs also include scenic and educational pic- tures of a high order, which must be seen to be appreciated. If you are not now a regular at the Lyric get in line and see the many good things shown there. : Mrs. Roland I. Curtin, of An- napolis, Md., has announced the en- gagement of her daughter, May Hamersly, to Peyton S. Cochran, U. S. N., a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William G.’ Cochran, of Philadelphia, the wedding to take place at Annapo- lis on June 7th. Mrs. Curtin is the widow of the late Lieut. Com. Roland I. Curtin, of Bellefonte. Bellefonte is to have a new fruit store. The Corica Bros., of Re- novo, have rented the room in the Bush Arcade next door to Twitmires, and are having it put in shape for im- mediate occupancy. With a new bakery in the same block and a new store at which to buy fruit residents in this end of town will not have so far to walk to get their supplies. Manager T. Clayton Brown ex- tends a general invitation to the peo- ple of Bellefonte and surrounding community to attend the Scenic reg- ularly. He assures them that every picture shown is the best and most up-to-date that can be secured. Noth- ing is turned down that will please and entertain the patrons of this high-class motion picture show. The Scenic has for years been the leader in central Pennsylvania and will al- ways continue to be. The summer schedule will be put into effect on the Pennsylvania railroad on May 25th, and as much as ten minutes change will be made in the arrival and departure of one or more trains in Bellefonte. But the ost important change here will be the annulment of the evening run of the Lewisburg train from Bellefonte +0 Milesburg to connect with the train | west on the Bald Eagle Valley. There- after the Bald Eagle train will be run into the Bellefonte station as of old. The new Kelley bakery in the Bush Arcade opened yesterday and have put on the market as their brand the “Oh, Boy,” home-made bread like mother used to make. the bread is as good as the name there should be no trouble in finding ready sale for all they can bake. They will 2lso make a specialty of fine cakes, ice cream and sundaes. Their room as been fitted up very tastefully and ~ttractively and there is every reason to predict success for the enterprise “ight from the start. At a meeting of the alumni as- sociation of the Bellefonte High school held last Thursday evening it was decided to hold the reception and dance for this year’s graduating class 'n Friday evening, May 30th, in Tush, Arcade hall. Misses Mildred TImerick and Ruth Badger were ap- =ninted a committee to visit the alum- ~us of the High school in an endeav- ar to create a greater interest in the association. Another meeting of the sasociation will be held next Wednes- day evening, May 14th, and it is ear- rostly hoped the attendance will be larger than at the last meeting. The wwe of tickets this year will be as usual. of the Patriotic | Assuming that | CE SE A EPSP RS . THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, JUNE 26th AND 27th. Dates Named for Centre County’s Big Reception to Its Returned Soldiers, to be Held in v Bellefonte. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee on Tuesday evening Thursday and Friday, June 26th and 27th, were definitely settled upon as the dates for the big welcome home to be given in Bellefonte in honor of Centre coun- ty’s returned soldiers, and now that the dates have been permanently fix- ed it is up to every individual in the county to so plan his or her affairs that they can be present and partici- pate in the event. It is the desire of the committee to at that time demon- strate to the soldiers how much the people at home appreciated their services and in no way can this be | done more successfully than in a gen- eral outpouring of the people of the county to welcome them back individ- ually and collectively. One of the principal matters con- sidered at the Tuesday evening’s meet- ing was the financial question. The chairman of each committee submit- ted an estimate of the probable amount of money required in his line of work and the total figures were between $4,500 and $5,000. The prin- cipal items of expense will be for the entertainment of the soldiers while in Bellefonte and the street decorations. It is figured that arrangements will have to be made for the entertain- ment of at least one thousand sol- diers, which will include meals and lodging. Of course the matter could be simplified to some extent if the people of Bellefonte will volunteer to take some of the soldiers as their guests during their stay in Bellefonte, but in any event ample accommoda- tions will be provided to take care of them. As to the matter of street decora- tions J. M. Nichols, of Syracuse, N. Y., the man who furnished the deco- rations for Bellefonte at the time of the big Odd Fellows reunion several years ago, will be here the latter part of this week and submit plans and es- timates. In this connection it might be stated that the only decorations the committee will have charge of will be the streets; business places and private individuals will have to arrange for their own decorations. The parade will be the big feature of the first day and the chairman of that committee is planning for a mon- ster affair. Arrangements are under way to secure the Nypen band, of Lock ‘Haven, as one of the musical organizations, and of course Wetz- ler’s Girls band of Milesburg will be in line. Every band in Centre county will be invited and as a matter of pa- triotism it is believed that most of them will be only too willing to re- spond. While the military and Red Cross will be the big feature of the parade civic and fraternal organiza- tions will be invited to join, especially those from the various towns in Cen- tre county. The amusement committee has not yet gone far enough to submit any definite report as to what will be of- fered in this line, but chairman Blanchard is hard at work and from | the energy he has shown in this line on former occasions there is every reason to believe that when the time comes he will have enough doing to keep the crowd occupied all the time. Sheriff Yarnell, who has in charge the work of the invitation and regis- tration committee, submitted a form of the invitation he proposes sending out, which will contain an attached slip for the registration of soldiers, and it is believed this will greatly fa- cilitate the work of registration. All in all the plans are being per- fected rapidly for the big time, but as it will require a lot of hard work to get everything in shape so there will be no hitch anywhere it behooves everybody to do their part; and the one thing most essential at this time is the finances to back up the plans of the committee. Therefore, when a member of the finance committee asks you for a contribution, whether you be a resident of Bellefonte or any other part of the county, don’t turn him down with the thought of letting others pay for it. The boys didn’t do that in France. They fought and suffered privation for every man and woman in Centre county alike and all should be equally willing to join in the opportunity to welcome them home. If every man contributes a little the amount of money necessary can easily be raised without being felt by any one individual. The next meeting of the committee will be held next Monday evening. Big Victory Loan Parade at State College This Evening. A big military parade will be the feature of a Victory loan meeting to evening and the public generally is invited to attend. The parade will in- clude the famous State College band, the entire regiment of cadets, Red Cross and other organizations. It will move promptly at seven o'clock and at the conclusion of the parade an open air meeting will be held in the square at the Nittany Inn. All overseas men who have return- ed home are requested to report at evening without fail. eee Important Meeting. There will be a meeting of the building committee and board of di- rectors of the Y.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beezer and saw overseas serv- ice. Up to the present time not a circus is booked for Bellefonte this seson and as it looks now we will have to furnish our own diversion this summer and that is one reason why the welcome home for the soldier boys should be made a gala time. PU — There is a rumor on the street that the aero mail service will be in- augurated without fail sometime this month, probably within two weeks. And the Bellefonte station will re- main on the list, notwithstanding the efforts that have been put forth by surrounding towns to capture the landing place. — Mary Pickford —in her latest screen success, “Capt.

VanValin was pain- fully injured shortly after leaving the train at Unionville to go to his home last Wednesday evening. His daugh- ter was walking a little in advance of him and in going over the railroad crossing she stepped on one end of a plank which tilted up and tripped her father, causing him to fall very heav- ily on his right side, breaking his arm and fracturing three ribs. While his injuries will not keep him confin- ed to his home yet they are of such a nature that he will be unable to do any practicing at his profession for six weeks at least. SPECIAL! SPECIAL!

SLOOP, 64-19-3t Supervising Principal. CHR A splendid line of potted plants VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN LAGS. With Only Two Days toe Go Centre Centre County Way Short of Quota. If the people of Centre county are to come through with an unbroken record of patriotism for supporting the government in its every call for money in the successful prosecution of the war and in bringing the soldier boys home they will have to buy Vic- tory bonds today and tomorrow with far more vim and liberality than they have exhibited at any stage of the loan campaign. While it is impossi- ble to give any figures this week on how much of Centre county’s quota has been taken, it is definitely known that the showing to date is not very good. For this reason we publish the following appeal issued by W. Harri- son Walker, chairman of the publici- ty committee: On Saturday of this week, May 10th, the Victory loan will close. Dur- ing these two remaining days it is imperative that every person in this district do all in his or her power to put Centre county “over the top;” it can be done; it must be done. We have in every previous campaign gone the limit for Uncle Sam. We must see to it that this perfect chain of pa- triotism of our good people is not broken in this last opportunity. Impress upon every person in your home district the importance of this last loan; the rate of interest, matur- ity, etc. It is an investment of our government, which has never before been equaled. It is our last opportu- nity to invest in bonds of our govern- ment. This Centre county district has one-half of its allotment yet to raise. Less than six hundred and fifty peo- ple‘in the county have subscribed to this last loan. This means that we must start something ‘right now and keep up the good work until Centre county goes “over the top” on or be- fore Saturday of this week. Will the people of Centre county stand in the front line or duck to cov- er when the returning boys in khaki march along our streets in the “home- coming” celebration. Let no man ith. ove to see and a fine strong body to fight less cruel battles, whim- per in his final reckoning with the Victory Liberty loan, when it is not giving, but lending. Buy bonds, as they have, to the full limit of your cash and resources. Don’t break the chain, It is up to every one of us to do our very best in the closing days of this drive. Let us “finish the job.” Let us put the cap-stone of victory on our previous Liberty loans. oe German Helmets for Victory Bond Purchasers. Victory loan headquarters are in receipt ‘of fourteen captured German helmets, which will be chanced off to Victory loan subscribers of the Cen- tre county district. The helmets will be divided among the different dis- tricts on the basis of bank quotas, which of course will take in the sur- rounding districts of the county. Every person who subscribes for a bond, no matter what the amount of the bond may be, will be entitled to a chance on the helmet or helmets in the bank district, through which the subscription was given. Immediately after the loan closes on May 10th, every bank in Centre county will submit to Mr. Charles McCurdy, chairman of the district, a complete list of the names of every person who subscribed for one or more bonds through that particular bank, and the helmets to which said district is entitled, will be sent to the said bank and chanced off under the direction of the chairman of the Vic- tory Loan committee. W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman. Publicity. HELMETS FOR WOMEN WORKERS. The Women’s committee has been allotted fourteen helmets. These will be given to the fourteen chairmen whose committee raises the largest percentage of their district’s quota. Medals struck from German can- nons, captured at Chateau Thierry, will be given to all workers. ELIZABETH MILLS BEACH, Chairman Centre Co. Wait for the Academy Minstrels. By the heading over this article we do not mean to cut out all other shows and entertainments just to wait for the minstrels, but rather that when the minstrels give their entertain- ment it will be something worth wait- ing for. The students taking the leading parts are practicing every evening and while we cannot give any of their stunts away we can assure the people of Bellefonte that there will be nothing stale about the pro- gram. New songs, new jokes and quips, new and startling dancing, new acrobats—in fact, everything new including the costumes. Plans for the scenic effects have already been made and these include some wonderful innovations in stage light- ing. Of course everybody in Belle- fonte will want to see these minstrels, and people from the country should motor in for one of the performances which will be given Thursday and Friday evenings, May 22nd and 23rd. Remember the minstrels are for the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital and that institution needs the money. ——Watch the Lyric theatre Co. program for next week. 19-1¢ ——All families of returning sol- diers who are planning to go to Phil- adelphia for the big parade of the 28th division on or about the 15th of May should arrange for their lodging, etc., beforehand by addressing the “War Camp Community Service Aid, Information Bureau, 1428 Walnut SC, PRBBIR EY NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mrs. Merriman, who is expected in Bellefonte next week, will be a guest of her daughter, Mrs. John Blanchard, dur- ing her stay. — Mrs. W.
