Council Postponed Purchase of Fire
Fighting Apparatus.
The usual six members were pres-
ent at the regular meeting of borough
council on Monday evening. A reso-
lution was presented by the Undine
fire company requesting council to
purchase for their use a triple combi-
nation chemical truck and pumper.
The Street committee reported that
a new light had been placed on north
Potter street, various needed repairs
made on the streets and presented the
treasurer's receipt for $120.00, being
payment in full from the Gaylord In-
ternational Engineering and Con-
struction company for the use of the
borough steam road roller. The com-
mittee further reported that new guy
wires had been put on the smoke
stack at the old steam heating plant,
putting it in a safe condition for the
present.
The Water committee presented
the report of the borough manager
showing various repairs and improve-
ments made, and also reported the
treasurer’s receipt for $20.00 from
the Gaylord Construction company for
water used.
The Finance committee presented
for renewal four notes, $2,000 dated
December 2nd; $600 and $500 dated
December 6th, and $3,000 dated De-
cember 21st, all for a period of six
months, which was authorized.
Mr. Cunningham stated that in
making the water assessment this
year it was discovered that there are
fifty-six motor washers in operation
in Bellefonte, and a computation
showed that the water consumed ran
from three to ten cents a wash, ac-
cording to the size of the wash, and
the committee recommended an
assessment of six cents a wash, or
$3.00 a year for all motor washers.
The committee also recommended that
a price of $2.00 a year be fixed for all
private garages, in addition to the
hydrant charge of $2.00, which will
make $4.00 per year for the garage.
Both recommendations were approv-
ed by council.
Mr. Flack, of the Fire and Police
committee, reported that he had in-
terviewed all merchants in Crider’s
Exchange relative to W. G. Emer-
ick’s request for reserved space on
both sides of the street at that point
for loading and unloading his auto
busses, and instead of there being any
objections the merchants are all very
willing to have him do so. The result
was Mr. Emerick was granted permis-
sion, he to put up and take down the
“no parking” signs necessary to keep |,
the street open at all times.
Mr. Flack further reported that a
majority of the Fire and Police com-
mittee recommended the purchase by
council of a triple combination chem-
ical and pumper for each fire compa-
ny. Mr. Cunningham, the minority
member of the committee put himself
upon record as against such action by
eouncil; not because he isn’t in favor
of giving the fire companies the best
fighting apparatus possible, but be-
cause of the enormous cost to the bor-
ough when there is no money to meet
it. He advocated the purchase of
chemical trucks instead, which will
not cost over half or two-thirds as
much as the pumpers and with the
present equipment of two good en-
gines will give the borough good pro- |

| Bellefonte’s sturdy, old-time citizens,
tection for years to come.
Walker stated that the purchase of
additional fire fighting equipment
was a very important matter and he
would much prefer having every
member of council present when ac-
tion was taken. For this reason he
suggested holding final action until
the next meeting night when the new
council will be organized and in ses-
sion. Mr. Cunningham therefore
made a motion, which was seconded
by Mr. Flack, that the matter be post-
poned until next meeting night, and it
was so ordered.
Secretary W. T. Kelly presented the
plans of the State Highway Depart-
ment for the building of the state
road from Allegheny street on Bish-
op, Spring and Pine to the borough
line, which the Department requested
council to approve by ordinance, etc.
The matter was referred to the Street
committee, borough manager, bor-
ough solicitor and borough engineer
for consideration and report at next
meeting.
Bills ‘tothe amount of $1347.68
were approved and council adjourned.

his in having been made the leader of
the strongest football aggregation of
the year. Harold is a son of Mr. and

ew of the late Michael Hess, of this

for his team next season as his Dad
did when he was playing politics in

CELEBRATED 92nd BIRTHDAY. |
Bellefonte Academy Honors Rev.
Hughes, the Veteran Emeritus
Principal.
The students, the faculty and the
other members of the Bellefonte
Academy household spent a most de-
lightful afternoon on Monday, Decem-
ber 15th, in the main assembly hall,
doing honor to the aged and revered
principal emeritus of that historic in-
stitution, the Rev. James Potter |
Hughes.
brate the ninety-second birthday an-
niversary of the man who, in the late
sixties, became principal of the Acad-
emy of which we are all so proud, and
laid down the principles of scholastic
thoroughness and christian character
that have resulted, after many years
of keen competition and struggle, in
bringing our Centre county institution
to the forefront of secondary schools,
not only in scholastic standing but in
the matter of beautiful and well-
equipped buildings. Members of the
faculty and of the student body were
selected to make addresses and all
these were interspersed with inspiring
music furnished by the Academy or-
chestra. The two piano and violin |
ets by Mrs. J. C. Hess and Louis Lev-
inson were beautiful and richly de-
served the applause they received.
The complete program was as fol-
lows:
1. Overture by the orchestra, consist-
ing of William Borches, banjo-mandolin;
Fred Johnston, banjo-mandolin; Conrad |
High, piano; Raymond Fox, drums, and
Louis Levinson, violin.
2. Speeches by Harold Cochrane, of
Pittsburgh; Fred Leonard, Binghamton,
N. Y., and Frank Valentine, Jersey City.
3. Music by the orchestra.
4. Speeches by Charles Dandois, of Du-
Bois; Joseph Brodie, Philadelphia, and
Adelbert Arter, of Youngstown, Ohio.
5. Violin and piano duets by Mrs. J. C
Hess «nd Louis Levinson.
6. Addresses by Misses Helen Overton
and Isabelle Hill and Prof. D. L. Hars-
tine.
7. Music by the orchestra.
8. Address by Prof. James R. Hughes
and the chief guest of the day—Rev. Mr.
Hughes.
9. Music by the orchestra.
The remarks of the speakers were
of a high order and touched upon the
many features of Mr. Hughes’ life—
sportive, social, educational and re-
ligious—that are well known to the
citizens of Bellefonte and Centre
county.
Mr. James R. Hughes opened the.
program with a few lines of verse
which ran as follows:
Time's chariot has run its annual course
again;
His scythe has cut down myriads of men;
And yet. today we greet you, Father!
Hughes,
Drinking a little at the fountain of the |
muse.
To you we offer our sincere felicitations,
Sparing not our very best congratulations
That you are healthy, well and active, too,
Attaining the grand old age of ninety-two.
Your years have been a hist'ry of noble
deeds
And thoughts and peans and words for |
others’ needs.
Never once you've cringed in face of duty;
Your life has been an exemplary one of
“beauty;
Our: hearts all beat this day with one de-
sire,
That you may reach the goal to which you
aspire;
That many happy returns of natal day
May come to you and make your spirits
gay.
After the other speakers had found
peculiar pleasure in paying their hap-
‘py tribute to the “grand old man,”
Mr. Hughes responded in a wonderful
address replete with interesting rem-
iniscences and information and witti-
cisms. The celebration was a thril-
ling surprise, but Mr. Hughes, with
the coolness and nerve that have made
‘him famous, sized up nobly to the oc-
casion.
‘JOEL JOHNSON 89 YEARS OLD.
The venerable Joel Johnson, one of

‘anniversary last Friday and as a com-
pliment to the aged gentleman a fam-

ber of guests being forty-eight. Mr.
Johnson, although somewhat enfee-
bled with the weight of his advancing
years, enjoys splendid health other-
wise, and was very happy to have his
children all together again.

— Charles Sanford "Laird, the
youngest son of Robert Laird, a well-
known Bellefonte carpenter of twen-
ty-five years ago, has gone to the fore
in musical circles in Minneapolis. He
was but 2 lad when the family moved
from Bellefonte but he is a man now
and possessed of a bass voice. that has
made him the leading soloist of his
home city. The Elks club of Minne-
apolis gave a testimonial concert in
his honor last Saturday night. It was
preparatory to his departure for New
York, where he has contracted to sing

Why We Need t the Money.
There are quite a pee jon more than one
thousand persons on our list whose subscrip-
tion is not paid up to 1920. Most of them are
about a year in arrears; a few are more.
When you stop to think that the “Watchman”
is about the only item of expense that you
have that hasn't increased during these days
of inflation and, at the same time, has main-
tained its superior form in typography and pa-
per, you must wonder how we do it.
To be
perfectly candid it is being done at the sacri-
fice of what has heretofore been only a mea-
gre profit and we find it impossible to break
even unless all subscribers who are not paid
up to next July, at least, remit at once.
Please don’t wait for us to send you bills
or expect receipts after you have remitted.
Both cost money that we hope to save and un-
less we can
make small savings of this
nature we can’t continue to publish the paper
at its present price.
Surely we are not asking much and we
have such great faith in our subscribers that
we feel that every one of you will meet this
: call as promptly as possible.
The Close of the Hunting Season.
The hunting season is over for all
kinds of game except raccoon. It
closed on Monday and as a grand
finale seventeen Bellefonte gentlemen ,
went out bright and early- to clean |
up what game there was left down in
the Little Sugar valley section. They
left town at seven o'clock, motored to
Hecla park and made the drive from
the Hecla gap, where a portion
of the crowd had gone as watch-
ers. The drivers trudged along
' the mountain and through Little Su-
gar valley but nary a thing did they
chase out to the watchers. One of
the drivers alleges he saw a doe and
a fawn and this was the only game
seen all day, though every mat
worked hard to get something
| least. Lawrence McMullen had Bee
| other gentlemen, of Hecla, made a
drive over a portion of the territory
before the Bellefonte crowd arrived
| and chased up a big bear, but it got
| away. The Bellefonte crowd did not
| get home until late in the evening,’
| and they were a tired bunch.
Lawrence McMullen and his com-
| panions had nine shots - at the bear,
| which was very large, but none of
them reached the mark and bruin e8-
caped to the Brushvalley side. of | the
! mountain.
Mike Hazel went out on Monday to
wind up the season with a rabbit
chase and was successful in bringing
home a bunch of five cottontails.
So far as the deer season is con-
cerned, it was the most successful in
years. While it is impossible to give
the exact number of deer killed in
Centre county for the reason that
many hunting parties in the Seven
mountains may have killed some of
their deer in Huntingdon and Mifflin
counties, yet it is pretty certain that
the number was in excess of any sea-
son for years past. At least a dozen
parties got their limit, while many
others got from two to five deer. In
fact the figures given the latter part
of last week showed over two hun-
dred deer killed in the Seven moun-
tains alone, while thirty or more were
killed in the Alleghenies. One thing
most emphatically shown by the sea-
son’s hunt was that the Seven moun-
tains are now the best deer section
in this part of the State.
As an indication of ‘the total num-
ber of deer slaughtered in the Seven
mountains forester Charles R. Meek,
of Coburn, compiled a record of those
killed in the eastern section of the
county and it totals just 117 deer up
to the close of the season on Monday
evening. Hunters in the region of
| the Bear Meadows, in the Boalsburg
| district and on west to the Hunting-
don county line were equally success-
ful in their killing, so that the grand
total will easily run over two hun-
dred.
THE BEAR HAD SORE FEET.
The two cub bear that the Grenoble
party at Hecla shot last week were
not large, weighing possibly sixty
ed that both of the cubs had worn
their feet almost to the bone running
over the mountains ducking hunters.
One of the party said that the feet of
the bear were so raw and bleeding
that he could not see how they could
travel at all.

* Sixteen ministers and six elders at-
tended an adjourned meeting of the
Huntingdon Presbytery held in the
church at Tyrone on Monday morn-
ing. Among the business transacted
was the following of interest to Cen-
tre county people:
Rev. Louis V. Barber requested
that the pastoral relation existing be-
tween the churches of Spring Creek,
Pine Grove Mills and Buffalo Run be
dissolved, giving reasons. Messrs.
E. C. Ross and John H. Bailey repre-
senting Spring Creek and Pine Grove
Mills respectively, stated that the
congregations had taken action ac-
quiescing in the request. After due
consideration, and remarks of regret
t.| had been heard, pastoral relation was
é'| dissolved, and Mr. Barber was grant-
ed a letter of dismissal to the Pres-
bytery of Northumberland, and will
go this week to his new pastorate at
Mili Hall and Beech Creek. :
~The call from the Sinking Creek
church for Rev. L. V. Barber was re-
turned to the church. Rev. R. P. Mil-
ler was made moderator of the Spring
Creek and Pine Grove Mills churches.
A call from the church of Philips-
burg for Rev. John T. Scott, promis-
ing him a salary of $2,000 in regular
monthly payments, cost of moving,
the free use of the manse and annual
vacation of four weeks was read,
found in order and retained in the
hands of presbytery pending Mr.
Scott’s arrival.
A call from the congregation of
Moshannon and Snow Shoe for Rev.
S. R. Brown for approximately one-
third of his time with a minimum of
two Sabbath services a month, in the
Snow Shoe church and at least one in
the Moshannon, promising him a sal-
ary of $400 per year in regular
monthly. payments and a month’s va-
cation, it being understood that the
presbytery through the Presbyterial
and Home Missions committee will
this year contribute to the support
and that it will continue to contribute
as long a time and such amounts as
it may be persuaded the field may
need during the time of his pastorate,
was read, found in order and retain-
ed by presbytery.

Rev. R. P. Miller gave a partial re-
port on the salary increase which
showed a long list of churches which
had already made an advance. Pres-
bytery adjourned to meet on January
12th in the Tyrone church.
Final Sale of Christmas Seals.
A final round-up of the sale of
Christmas seals will be made on Sat-
urday of this week. If those who are
selling seals will make a special effort
during the remainder of the week the
few unsold seals will find buyers and
place Bellefonte two thousand over
the top.
Miss Overton and the young ladies
of the Patriotic League will be at the
Scenic and Lyric theatres on Satur-
day afternoon and evening to give any
who have not purchased seals an op-
portunity to do so.
The seals can be secured from
many merchants who have had them
since the sale began. Ask for them;
only a penny apiece. One man said
he would willingly give to charity so
bought one seal. How many have
you bought?

are very appreciative and thankful,
Dr. Orbison’s letter says.
“Tt has been delightful to learn the
regard and appreciation of this city
for the American people. My room
is filled with flowers and I have re-
ceived dozens of letters full of respect
to America. We are carrying on our
work as usual. Some of our kitchens
have been hit and very few of our
children killed. This country will need
a lot of help. Snow has already fall-
en and the children need shoes, stock-
ings and warm underwear and
clothes.”
Dr. Orbison holds the rank of cap-
tain in the American army. He went
to Russia at the end of the hostilities
with Germany, and in the spring of
1919 was stationed at Libau, where
he was placed in charge of the distri-
bution of food to 65,000 civilians and
19,000 children. Later he organized
all the kitchens in the district, started
medical clinics and was instrumental
in organizing all branches of the re-
lief work.
