Anent tnat Big Government Radio
Station.

ES,
“Off again, on again, gone again,
Finnegan,” seems to be the game now
being played in connection with lo-
cating the big government radio sta-
tion that is to be erected somewhere
in Centre county as a guide to the
aviators flying over the New York to
Chicago air mail route. 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.

— The Bellefonte public schools
opened on Tuesday under most auspi-
cious conditions and with a full corps
of teachers. The total enrollment of
pupils in all the schools is 808. Of
this number there are 535 pupils in
the various grades, which is just six
short of the number last year when
there were 541, but in the High school
there is an enrollment of 273, which is
39 more than last year. Exactly 115
students from outside of the district
are included in the High school enroll-
ment which is 81 in excess of the
number last year. In fact the High
school is crowded to capacity limits.
The corps of teachers this year is ex-
cellent and every indication is for a
most successful school year.

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. :
