When the government first decided to erect a radio station in connection with the aviation field the location was given as Bellefonte and the only question at the time was the convenient spot for it. Since that time there have been several government inspectors here looking for a proper location for the station and each one has recommend- ed a different place until now it looks very much as if the plant will be lo- cated at State College; at least that is the status of the case at this writ- ing. Orders were also received at the aviation field last Friday to ship all broken planes to Bustleton for re- building and two car loads have al- ready been shipped. These two facts taken together created considerable consternation as to the probability of the Bellefone field being kept on the map, but from every authoritive source available it is stated that the government has no idea of abandon- ing the Bellefonte field. The flying distance from New York to Cleveland, Ohio, is entirely too great for a man to make in a non-stop transit, and Bellefonte being almost midway be- tween the two cities this is the logical place for the change of planes. Last Friday a statement was sent out from Washington over the initials of “C. R. M.,” and published in a Philadelphia paper, which told of the trouble aviators have had in flying from New York to Bellefonte on ac- count of prevailing fogs. The arti- cle was interesting because it gave the record made by each one of the four airmein flying between New, York and Bellefonte in the 101 trips covered since the inauguration of the service, but it also contained some in- accuracies. : While it is true that the aviators have had to contend with ‘some: very: foggy mornings this summer, they have not been any worse here than at New York or other places. In fact the aviators themselves aver that they have experienced more trouble getting away from New York owing to the fog than they have from Belle- fonte, and if the government is going to continue the air mail route, as it undoubtedly will, it will be impossi- ble to select any route that will be free of fog the year around. Weather: conditions are things that no human being can control, flying machines or no flying machines. Philipsburg Had Big Celebration on Monday. The welcome home celebration held Monday in Philipsburg proved a big success in every way. Our Girls band, of Milesburg, motored to Philipsburg on Sunday afternoon and at five o'clock gave a concert in the park which pleased all who heard it. Mon- day’s crowd was a record breaker for Philipsburg, the main streets being thronged. Just 360 ex-soldiers regis- tered and most of them, in uniform, were in the parade which took place at 10:45. The parade was quite long and a credit to the celebration. In the afternoon there were two good ball games and exhibition flights by pilot G. B. Budwig, who flew to Philips- burg from Bellefonte on Sunday even- ing. Pilot Budwig, however, declin- ed to take up passengers owing to the fact that the landing field was consid- ered too small, as the space was not sufficient to warrant risking taking up passengers and coming down all right in the event of motor trouble and a forced landing. But the avia- tor gave the large crowd plenty of thrills with his various evolutions in the air. In the evening there was street dancing and other festivities to entertain the crowd. All the soldiers present were enter- tained at dinner and supper and giv- en free tickets to the ball games, dances, etc. — In another column of this pa- per will be found an announcement of the opening of the Bellefonte Acade- my next week with a complete list of the faculty members. In this connec- tion it might be said that there is every assurance now that the Acade- my this year will be overcrowded with students. In fact headmaster James R. Hughes has already been compel- led to create a waiting list so far as late applicants are concerned, agree- ing to take them only on condition that proper accommodations can be secured. Boys will be here from Michigan and as far west as Wyo- ming. — Dr. Richard L. Capers, Belle- fonte’s new osteopath physician, was married on Saturday of last week to Miss Emma M.

PE—— Se The ordinary ‘quiet of the late Sabbath evening was rudely dispelled last Sunday by a sort of free for all fight in Candyland. The fracas start- ed about ten o’clock when the clerk in charge kept change from a customer for the alleged breaking of a glass on a former visit to Candyland. The customer protested on the grounds that while he was in the party he had nothing to do with breaking the glass but the clerk was obdurate. One word brought on another until blows were exchanged and the affair finally developed into a free-for-all with glass holders and chairs flying around pro- miscuously, until the police had to be summoned to stop the fight. The “Watchman” does not propose taking sides with either the customer or the clerk between whom the trouble start- ed, but if both of them had been keep- ing the Sabbath day holy the dis- graceful affair would not have occur- red. : a Announcements have been re- ceived in Bellefonte of the marriage of Miss Martha Elizabeth Shoemaker and Dr. Wallace Ebe, of Pittsburgh, the wedding having taken place in Wilkinsburg Wednesday, September third. Miss Shoemaker is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Thomas A. Shoe- maker, who with her family left Belle- fonte recently to make her home in Wilkinsburg.
