Centre County’s Good Record on Near
East Relief.
The Centre county committee for
Near East relief is very glad to an-
nounce that on May 1st the county
had to its credit at headquarters
$10,708.64, as the amount of cash sent
in_since July 1st, 1920. By July 1st,
the end of the fiscal year, that amount
will be somewhat increased. This
means that Centre county is caring
for 32 orphans more than the 146 as-
signed to us for this year—a splen-
did showing for the county. Unfor-
tunately the nation has not done so
well and some of the orphanages and
hospitals must be closed unless funds
are immediately raised.

A request to Mr. Silloway, state di- :
rector, for information to be given
Centre county people about our next
year’s work brought the following
answer:
“Regarding the future of the Near
East relief, it is all uncertain. One
thing we know—that it will be neces-
sary to continue our relief work until
the political conditions in the Near
East are stabilized. This, not only
among orphans, but among the mil-
lions of refugees to whom we are giv-
ing food relief. There are 200,000 or
more orphans and these will necces-
sarily be upon our hands until they
are self supporting. It is a long task
but a most worthy one.”
A letter from C. V. Vickrey, gen-
eral secretary, 1 Madison avenue,
New York, contains in part:
“I have before me nineteen cables
received within a week, bringing to us
crushing evidence that our task is not
yet finished. One announces:
“Total orphans now at Alexandro-
pol, 18,000” (probably the largest as-
semblage of orphan children that the
world has ever known.
“Supplies Alexandropol allow half
rations for thirty days. After that
nothing.”
A later cable announces that when
our supply ship reached the deserted
harbor of Batoum they found only ten
bags of flour in Batoum and a tele-
gram from Alexandropol (200 miles
in the interior) reading:
“No food at any price.
more and we are finished.”
“Immediate transport saved lives of
eighteen thousand orphans and seven
Americans, Alexandropol, where food
arrived the same day that last of half
rations was exhausted.”
Another cable reports 5,000 orphans
at Harpoot, and others on conditions
in Constantinople, Cilicia, Syria and
Anatolia.
Coincident with the receipt of these
cables we are experiencing a decrease
in contributions that threatens disas-
ter for we cannot sustain these chil-
dren during the summer months with-
out larger financial resources than are
now in prospect.
In behalf of our executive commit-
tee and of the million or more who
have been saved we thank the people
of Centre county for the substantial
part that they have had in saving
these lives. May we venture the fervent
hope that as you have opportunity you
© will stand by until the lives of these
children are made safe and until there
is promise of a new era of righteous-
ness in Bible lands.”
After July 1st the county commit-
tee expects to publish, in terms of the
number of orphans saved, the contri-
butions from each town or communi-
ty. Only the actual cash turned in to
Charles M. McCurdy, county treasur-
er; to 213 South Broad street, Phila-
delphia, and to 1 Madison avenue,
New York, or vouchers from denomi-
national and other boards will be
credited. This means that pledge
money paid after July 1st will go on
next year’s record, just as monthly
pledges made in February, 1920, and
paid after July 1st, 1920, were cred-
ited to this year’s amount.

Free Scholarships to State Forest
Academy.
A free education in forestry is of-
fered the young men of Pennsylvania
by the State Department of Forestry.
Gifford Pinchot, the chief forester, has
announced that competitive examin-
ations will be held June 16th and 17th,
at Harrisburg, for free scholarships
to the State Forest Academy, at Mont
Alto.
The ten highest men will be ap-
pointed to the Forest Academy where
they will begin their study of forestry
next September. A further test of
six week’s work will be given on one
of the State forests.
Young men between the ages of 18
and 25 who have completed a four
year’s High school course and who
have had experience in farming, lum-
bering, surveying and other forms of
outdoor work, are particularly desir-
ed. The scholarships provide free tu-
ition, board, room and laundry. Upon
successful completion of the course,
which includes thorough and practic-
al training, a degree in forestry will
be awarded.
Information about the State Forest
Academy and application blanks for
the examination, may be had by writ-
ing to E. A. Ziegler, director, Pennsyl-
vania State Forest Academy, Mont
Alto, Pa.

WHAT ARE WE DOING
TO HELP THE FIGHT
AGAINST TUBERCULO-
SIS?
In the “Watchman,” April 8th, was |

given a list of officers and committees |
doing public health work in our com-
munity. The duties and work of the
Board of Health and Red Cross are
quite generally known; not so the
work of the Tuberculosis society.
Hence this report—
The Tuberculosis society has, in
: Centre county, the following organ-
izations:
(1) In Bellefonte:
Chairman—Miss Helen Overton.
Treasurer—Miss Helene Williams.
Education—Miss Elizabeth Meek.
Included in the district, of which
Bellefonte has charge, are sixteen
townships—Benner, Boggs, Burnside,
Curtin, Halfmoon, Howard, Huston,
Liberty, Marion. Patton, Snow Shoe,
Spring, Taylor, Union, Walker, Worth.
(2) In Philipsburg:
Chairman—J. S. Edwards.
Secretary—Miss Catherine Hall.
Treasurer—Mrs. H. E. Scott.
Nursing and Education—
Miss Margaret Lyerly.
Rush is the only township in the
Philipsburg district.
(3) In State College:
Chairman—Mrs. James M. Williams.
Secretary—Mrs. W. S. Edwards.
Treasurer—Mrs. M. J. Kitchen.
Nursing and Education—
Mrs. Maude Jones.
Eight townships are in this dis-
trict—College, Ferguson, Gregg,
Haines, Harris, Miles, Penn, Potter.
The result of the Christmas seal
sales with which the work of the Tu-
berculosis society is financed is as
follows:
1917 1919 1920
Bellefonte ......$ 44.00 $253.83 $488.13
Philipsburg .... 258.40 604.80 864.71
State College .. 23.27 406.77 753.11
Total....... 325.37 1,264.77 2,105.98
How have these funds been expend-
ed? To quote from the last Year
Book of the Pennsylvania Tuberculo-
sis society, “With the State maintain-
ing large machinery for handling the
actual cases of tuberculosis, the re-
sponsibility of the volunteer agencies
has seemed to be very definitely in the
field of education, propaganda and the
promotion of preventive measures,
such as open-air schools, nutrition
clinics, preventoria and health instruc-
tion in the schools.”
The efforts and funds of the Tuber-
culosis committee of the Womans club
of Bellefonte have been directed, al-
most entirely, to educational work in
the schools. The Modern Health Cru-
sade has been repeatedly presented to
our readers through published lists of
the pupils successfully participating,
notices of special lectures, movies and
lantern-slide lectures. The crusade
was inaugurated into our schools in
March, 1919, since which time about
$225 has been expended in financing.
Ohe item of this was 275 tooth’
it
brushes presented to pupils whose
parents were unable or unwilling to
provide them. An additional sum of
|
$64.75, derived from a benefit concert,
has been expended in free dental work,
making a total of $289.75 spent in our
schools. To make the lantern in the
Bishop street school building avail-
able for use, whenever needed, elec-
trical attachments and a screen were
provided at a cost of $22.03. With the
exception of a small sum given the
Health Clown in appreciation of her
services, the work has been entirely a
volunteer contribution by members of
the tuberculosis committee who have
done it because of purely disinterest-
ed enthusiasm for the cause.
Ours was one of two organiza-
tions in the State to develop an health
clown who, in addition to the many
performances in our own schools, has
given performances in many places
throughout the State—Philipsburg
and vicinity, Lewistown, Watsontown
(twice), Milton, Cresson,. Johnstown
and vicinity, Bryn Mawr, German-
town,” Norristown and Montgomery
county and Philadelphia.
The establishment of a nutrition and
dental clinic has been seriously consid-
ered but is not, at present, possible
since there are not funds to support a
regular health centre and the room
used by the Red Cross nurse is not
suitable. Lectures on “Foods,” by
Miss Pearl Mac Donald, of State Col-
lege, have been given to pupils and
parents and seven hundred copies of
“Diet for the School Child,” and Miss
Mac Donald’s “Food for Children” dis-
tributed to parents. There have also
been demonstrations on “Balanced
Meals,” especially arranged for grade
pupils by Miss Wagner, of the house-
hold arts department.
Two years ago, the State Tuberculo-
sis Dispensary here was closed be-
cause there were not enough cases to
warrant its continuance, since which
time our tuberculosis patients must go
to Lock Haven for treatment—a man-
ifestly inconvenient and unsatisfac-
tory arrangement. In January, Dr.
Francine, in charge of the tuberculo-
sis work of the State Health Depart-
ment, offered to reopen the dispensary
in Bellefonte, the State to provide a
physician, nurse and supplies while
the town must provide the room, heat
and janitor service. This offer has not
been accepted as the tuberculosis com-
mittee has not sufficient funds and the
community apparently not sufficient
interest. A loss of $50,000,000 annual-
ly should be sufficient stimulus for a
community to seek every possible pre-
ventive measure.

Tompkins Finally Paid Penalty of
i Crime.
i George C. Tompkins, the Philadel-
phian who on June 15th, 1917, killed
Edmund I. Humphries, his wife and
son, Edmund I. Jr., on a lonely road
“near Carrolltown, Cambria county,
‘paid the penalty of his crime on Mon-
day morning when he was electrocut-
ed at the Rockview penitentiary.
' Every available effort was put forth to
save the man’s life. He was first tried
for the killing of Mr. Humphries when
the jury rendered a second degree ver-
‘dict. He was then tried for the mur-
, der of Mrs. Humphries and son and
' convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. The Supreme court set the ver-
dict aside on a technicality and or-
dered a new trial, which again result-
ed in a first degree verdict.
His attorneys then applied for a
change of venue and the Supreme
court granted it with the result that
he was tried in Blair county in Janu-
ary and again convicted. Application
was then made to the Board of Par-
dons for a commutation of sentence on
the grounds of insanity. The case was
heard last Wednesday but the board
refused the application. Even as late
as Saturday morning an appeal was
made to the Governor for a stay but
the chief executive declined to inter-
fere any further and Tompkins was
taken from the Blair county jail to
the death house on Saturday after-
noon. With his entry there he lost all
individuality and was accorded just
the same treatment any condemned
prisoner is given.
Tompkins was taken to the chair at
7:26 on Monday morning and after
five contacts was pronounced dead at
7:31 by Dr. Robert J. Campbell. Prior
to his electrocution John Currey, a ne-
gro of Somerset county, was electro-
cuted for a murder committed early in
1920. Currey’s body was buried in the
penitentiary cemetery while Tomp-
kins’ remains were claimed and were
shipped to Philadelphia.
RISHEL.—Thomas Rishel passed
away very unexpectedly early Sunday
night at his home on Willowbank
street of heart failure. He worked as
usual on Saturday and on Sunday at-
tended church in the morning and
went for an automobile ride in the
afternoon. In the evening he ate a
light supper and retired along about
nine o’clock. Less than a half hour
later his wife was attracted by his la-
bored breathing and attempted to’
rouse him but without success. Sum-
moning help she sent for a physician
but before the latter arrived he had
passed away.
Deceased was a son of John A. and
Mary Segner Rishel and was born in
Buffalo Run valley on May 5th, 1861,
hence was 60 years and 17 days old.
For many years he lived at Coleville
and for twenty-five years was employ-
ed by the Bellefonte Central Railroad
company. On May 1st, 1920, he went
with the American Lime & Stone com-
pany and worked for that company up.
until four o’clock Saturday afternoon.
He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Sarah Raymond who died
: many years ago. In February, 1911,
ey Annoy, 15.0. he married Miss Louise Gessner, of
2 Coleville, who survives, with one

Some Counties to Have Full Apple
Crop.
i
What will Pennsylvania’s apple
crop actually be? This question has
“ been of vital interest to growers and
' consumers alike ever since the heavy
freezing of early spring. The answer
is daily becoming more evident, as by
this time the fruit has set. and the
' growers are able to determine an es-
‘timate of their expected yield. Spe-
cialists at The Pennsylvania State
College school of agriculture have
kept in very close touch with condi-
(tions throughout the State, and in
: some counties it is predicted that a
i 100 per cent. crop will be harvested on
nearly all varieties.
“The freezing weather in many
places did no more damage than to se-
verely prune the blossoms, which hap-
pened to be more beneficial than dam-
‘ aging,” says Professor E. L. Nixon,
| extension plant disease specialist. “I
| have visited many growers in the past
| few weeks who thought their crop was
, entirely wiped out, but they only re-
, ally get a good yield. There will be a
, certain percentage of drop, but on the
whole, there will be a much bigger
crop than is expected. York Smoke-
house and Transparent are wiped out
in the east, but are fairly good in the
western part of the State. Stayman
and Jonathan will be good in the east. |
If the trees are well sprayed to con- |
trol scab and insects, the following
counties should have a 100 per cent.
crop: Lawrence, Butler, Centre, Co- |
lumbia, Union, Northumberland. Ly- !
coming, Dauphin, Clarion, Monroe and
Wayne.”
If ninety per cent. of the blossoms
were killed, Professor Nixon points
out that the remaining ten per cent.
this year would be entirely capable of
turning in a full and normal crop.
The freeze thinned out the fruit, but
the blossoming was so heavy as to
cause a small percentage rer.aining
to set an unexpectedly large crop.

The Academy Minstrels a Pronounced
Success.
The Academy minstrels of 1921
have gone into history, but the pleas-
ure and profit derived therefrom will
remain a delightful memory for many
days to come.
{ Mr. Boyd C. Parshall Jr, is a pro-
nounced genius as a conductor of min-
' strels, but even he could not have pro-
duced this great success without the
hearty, faithful and happy support of
fifty Academy students and eleven
young ladies.
With Mrs. J. C. Hess, a musician of
high standard, at the piano, the ac-
companiments of the Academy orches-
tra were safe and prevented any pos-
sibility of a break in the variety of
songs rendered. The soloists—Messrs.
i Frauenheim, W. Jones, Kreinson,
Weightman, Epping, White, Rhoda- |
berger, M. Johnson, Whalen, McNeal, °
Long, Myford, Schwab, W. Davis and
Parshall, and Miss Mary Parker took
their parts with exceptional ease and
received well-deserved encores. The
chorus carried not only melody but
that which spells enjoyment in chorus
singing.
Mrs. Krader’s work with the posing
and dancing of the young ladies out-
rivaled Mrs. Krader herself, and con-
tributed largely to the success of the
successful entertainment. The art
sketch illustrating “Life’s Ideals” was
novel and was most favorably receiv-
ed.
Mr. James R. Hughes performed the
difficult duties of “host” with a very-
much-at-home-manner, which prohib-
ited any tiresome delays in the carry-
ing out of the spirited program.
An unexpected but delightful fea-
ture of the entertainment was the ap-
pearance of young Miss Myford, of
Belle Vernon, Pa., a sister of an Acad-
emy student. She is gifted with a
voice of charming quality and a man-
ner of rare attractiveness. Her free-
dom from constraint and embarrass-
ment were worthy of a professional,
and won for her generous expressions
of praise as were evidenced by the ap-
plause following her songs and en-
cores.
As “End Men,” Messrs. Whalen,
Kreinson, M. Johnson, White, Schwab,
Hyde and W. Davis evinced the true
qualifications essential in genuine
“Funmakers,” and acted as high-
priced-waiters at the “Beach Party,”
which the minstrels this year typi-
fied.
Too much credit cannot be given to
these young people and to those in
charge of the affair. Hours taken
from their recreations were cheerful-
ly given to the necessary and hard
work, and interest in the production
never seemed to waver.
Since the proceeds of former years
were unselfishly donated to the Red
Cross, hospital, and military troop.
and this year to the Bellefonte fire de-
partment, the Academy is character-
ized by unusual generosity and we
town people must not fail to recognize
a peculiar obligation due to this his-
torie school and tHe untiring energy of
its head master. == i =
While several of the ticket sellers
have not made complete returns the
receipts for the three nights will total
from $1,100 to $1,150, from which
amount about $325 will go to each fire
company.
Lack of space forbids the printing of
the favorable comments heard from all
sides upon the several participators
but the list of deserving ones includes
Misses Grace Sasserman, Ottilie
. Hughes, Mary Smith, Helen Cruse,

Helen Decker, Gertrude Noonan, Mary
Parker and Margaret Haines, and
Messrs. Ashbaugh, Baur, Hogle, Lash-
ley, Butler, Coffield, Buchanan, Frau-
enheim and Roller.
The Academy orchestra which is
very frequently called upon. for var-
ious occasions, is composed of Messrs. '
Stamm, Lowry, W. Davis, Learn, F.
Johnston, Bimm and Fox, and never
fails to please.
The entertainment was repeated on
Friday and Monday evenings to appre-
ciative audiences and on Tuesday
. evening the troupe performed in Cen- .
tre Hall. Next week, as is the cus-
tom, the performers will go to the
western penitentiary to please the au-
dience there.

output mounted daily; May 12th
brought forth 4092, the greatest num-
ber that have been produced in one
day so far this year. Since the month
has twenty-five working days, present
indications point to a new high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the
fact that for April, 1921, the output
was greater by 34,514 than for the
corresponding month of a year ago.
The output for May, 1921, will prob-
ably overshadow May, 1920, by be-
tween fifteen and twenty thousand
cars and trucks.
Approximately 43,000 men are at

ating on full time, six days a week
and three shifts a day.

tion than we are right now,” said
Henry Ford recently.
Forest Fire Prevention Week.
It was in full realization of the
waning timber supply that prompted
the President of the United States to
declare the week beginning May 22nd,
as Forest Fire Prevention week. Over
half the original supplies of timber
have been cut and the remaining half
is being utilized at a rate three times
as fast as the timber grows. In 50
years it is estimated the virgin stands
of timber will all have been cut. The
country must then rely on the forests
that are growing on the land from
which the old timber was removed. It
is in the interest of these young for-
ests that a Forest Fire Prevention
wezk has been declared. If fires can
be kept out of these young forests
they will furnish timber when the re-
maining old stands are cut.
Fire is the greatest enemy of grow-
ing timber. There can be no future
to a forest through which fire is al-
lowed to run. The results of repeated
fires are well known in Pennsylvania.
Over 5000,000 acres of land that once
grew forests have become a desert.
It is time the people began to give
some thought to the value of growing
timber. There is forest land enough
in the country to supply the whole
nation if put to work and if protect-
ed. If not so managed and protected
there will be a timber famine before
many years. It has become a nation-
al problem and demands a national
policy of tree growing and forest fire
protection.
But it is also a local problem. Not
only the nation and the State but the
county and towns are vitally interest-
ed. The Centre county Conservation
Association, which has been developed
to conserve the natural resources of
Centre county, recognizes the value
of young forests, and the necessity for
their protection. Not alone do forests
supply timber hut they make possible
the fish and game, wild flowers and
song birds, and pure water. Without
forests we cannot have any of these
resources which we all enjoy.
Through the efforts largely of the
Conservation Association over 160,000
forest trees were planted in Centre
county last spring and plans are be-
ing made to more than double this
number planted another year. Every
sportsman, every fisherman, every
lover of camp life, of song birds, and
wild flowers should feel a responsibil-
ity in protecting the forests from fire,
