Bellefonte’s Remodeled Y to be Re-
opened January 2nd.
The doors of the remodeled Y. M.
C. A. building in Bellefonte will swing
wide open on Monday, January 2nd,
to welcome the public.
A more attractive social centre is
not to be found here. A Y more com-
prehensively planned would be hard
to find anywhere. Spacious lobby and
social room, large gymnasium and
splendid bowling and billiards facili-
ties, with quiet reading and rest
rooms for men and boys it is really
such a place as the town needs and
will serve every purpose of a commu-
nity house, if we all pull together un-
selfishly for its success.
The opening will be very infermal.
From three in the afternoon until ten
at night every man, woman and child
in the community will be welcome.
Light refreshments will be served con-
tinuously and something of an enter-
taining character will be geing on all
the time. It is especially desirable
that every one who can will call at the
Y on the opening day and see just
what has been done with the money
that was raised for its rehabilitation.
While there has been criticism of the
delay in getting the work completed—
and possibly justifiably so—we are
sure that an inspection of the house
will be so gratifying as to efface any
unpleasant memories of the past.
Something in the neighborhood of
$16,000 was raised for the-work three
years ago. Most of it was expended
in the peak of high prices and you
should bear this in mind when view-
ing the great changes that have been
wrought. Few of the people who have
seen the remodeled building under
stand how so much was accomplished
with the funds on hand. It was not.
All of the subscrivtions have not been
paid and probably will not so there
will be a deficit of nearly $85.000.00.
This is a very small amount, however,
when it is considersad that the Y
building and improvements have been
estimated by various competent bus-
iness men as being worth fiom thirty
to forty thousand.
The plans for operation have not
been worked out yet.
held pending the arrival here next
week of the state secretary as coun-
sel in formulating them. F¥nough is
known, however, to insure that it will
be run on a most efficient scale possi-
bly for long enough time to give the
community opportunity to see wheth-
er it needs and will support an active
Association.
During the day of the opening there
will be expert bowlers from a distance
here to show the possibilities
pleasure and recreation on the new
alleys. Basket ball teams of the High
school and American Legion will play
on the gym floor and there wiil be
music every hour. Among the vocal
soloists will be Mrs. Ambrose
Schmidt, Mrs. Krader, Miss Mildred
Locke, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Blair,
Miss Marie Doll, Master Irvin Martin,
Ross Williams, Roy Wilkinson, and R.
M. Funk. Cecil and Milan Walker,
James Seig and Mr. Fitzpatrick con-
stitute the male quartet. Miss Hazel
Solt, Mrs. Edna Straub, Miss Rachel
Shuey and Mrs. Krader will sing in

quartet. The entire Reformed church |
choir will be present and sing parts
from their Christmas oratorio.
Instrumentally, there will be Hill’s |
novelty ocrhestra, Wetzler’s brass
uartet, Mrs. Louis Schad, violinist,
iss Rebecca Lyon, pianist, and Mack |
Yeager, saxophone.
There will be no program. All of
these artists have kindly consented to
drop in during the day and play or
sing just as informally as they would
were they visiting in your home. It
is a delightful arrangement and if we
all catch the spirit of such good fel-
lowship the opening day of the Y will
long be remembered. .
In the evening, at 8:30, there will
probably be a general meeting in the
gym presided over by the president,
Hon. A. G. Morris, at which the State
Secretary will briefly explain the aims
of the Association for the future.
The ladies of the auxiliary will
serve the refreshments and, remem-
ber, that entertainment is provided
for everybody every minute of every
hour from three until ten and you are
invited and will be made most wel-
come.

'emy this winter are unusually bright.
| There seems to be an abundance of
| excellent material. The two opening
‘games which the boys won just be-
‘ fore they went home for the Christ-
mas holidays gave a good line up on
the team and created intense enthusi-
asm among the students in general.
Their first game with the Phi Kappa
Sigma five of State College resulted
in the close score of 23 to 21 in favor
of the Academy. Their second victo-
ry was over the All Star team of
State College and the score of 35 to
17 was just as pleasing as the first.
Large crowds were present in the ar-
mory to witness both games, especial-
‘ly the latter because of the fact that
some of Penn State’s famous football
stars were on the team, namely: Benz,
Snell, Lightner, McColium,
and Palm. But the excellent team

for their sturdy opponents.

Passed by Borcugh Council Without
a Dissenting Vote.
Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening, Mr. Fauble being
the only absentee. A communication
was received from the Logan Fire
company enclosing a resolution pass-
ed by that organization protesting
against that clause in the new fire de-
partment ordinance providing for the
election of a fire marshal by council
without giving the companies oppor-
tunity to make recommendations.
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of
$29.00 for work done and the sale of
old material.
The Water committee reported the
laying of a 1} inch water pipe out
Howard street to Wilson; also the col-
lection of $50.03 from the Bellefonte
Trust company for making connec-
tions for their fire protection equip-
ment, ‘and $828.57 on the 1920 water
duplicate.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that policeman Thomas Howley
was in need of a new uniform and the
committee was instructed to purchase
one for him.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of one note for $3,000,
which was authorized.
At this stage in the proceedings
the new ordinance for the control of
the Bellefonte fire department, with
the changes authorized at the last
meeting, was read for the third time.
A committee from the fire companies
consisting of John J. Bower, Alex
Morrison, Thomas Shaughnessy and
Joseph Beezer, with Mr. Bower as
spokesman, was present to protest
against the passage of the ordinance
without changing the section provid-
ing for the election of a chief mar-
shal so as to permit the fire compa-
nies to have a voice in his selection.
My. Bower stated that it was the sen-
timent of both companies that they
should be permitted to recommend a

ordinance that will prohibit the fire
companies from making such recom-
mendations, and council would prob-
ably welcome suggestions of names of
men who will make good marshals.
That it was not the purpose of the
cornmittee which had the drawing of
the ordinance in charge to slight the
fire companies, but rather to relieve
them of the responsibility of the se-
lection as the fire marshal, whoever
he may be, will be held to strict ac-
countability for the care and upkeep
of the equipment. And for this rea-
son council felt that the selection
should be made by council. Mr. Cun-
ningham stated that the fire compa-
nies will have their redress if the
marshal selected by council does not
prove competent to fill the position.
The two chiefs, under the ordinance,
will have the power to make any prop-
er complaint against him, and if the
charges are sustained he can be re-
moved and another elected in his
place. Mr. Cunningham then made 2
motion that the ordinance be passed
as read and the same was seconded by
Mr. Harris.

The little boy had accompanied his
father to Bellefonte to do some
Christmas shopping. They went out
on the Lewistown bus, arriving at
their home, some distance above
Pleasant Gap about 3:30 o’clock. The
boy jumped out of the bus and ran
around back of the big machine to
cross the road to his home. Just as
he ran out from behind the bus a car
driven by Howard Dry, of Bellefonte,
came down the mountain and struck
the boy. According to the story of
those who saw the accident the lad
was not knocked down and run over
but literally picked up and carried
several rods before he fell from the
machine. Mr. Dry was accompanied
by William Taylor and as soon as he
could stop his machine went back to
render any assistance he could.
The father did not see the accident
as he was paying the driver their fare
out when it occurred. He heard the
money in the hands of the treasurer
in government bonds, and it was so
ordered.

BOLD BANK BURGLARY.
Two Men Hold Up Cashier Shope.
Wednesday, and Rob Karthaus
Bank of $5,000 to $8,000.
Two auto bandits held up cashier
Avery Shope, of the First National
bank of Karthaus, at 11:30 o’clock on
Wednesday morning, took all the
loose cash they could get their hands
on, a sum estimated at from $5,000 to
$8,000, then locked the cashier in the
vault, walked very unconcernedly out
of the bank, got into their machine
and departed for other fields.
One of the bandits was a large man
and the other small. They drove a
sports model Hudson car, but unfor-
. tunately no one seems to have noticed
the license number. According to re-
{ ports they drove into Karthaus from
the direction of Snow Shoe. A Mr.
Potter noticed the car as it crossed
the bridge and stopped in front of the
hotel. He also saw the two men get
out. They were strangers and were
well dressed. They walked directly
across the street and into the bank,
but he paid no further attention to
them. Cashier Shope was alone in
the bank when the men entered and
one of the men promptly covered him
with a drawn revolver and ordered
hands up. The cashier promptly com-
plied. They then forced him to open
the door leading into the banking
room and while one of the men kept
him covered the other gathered up all
the cash he could find and dumped it
into a small grip he was carrying.
What to do with the cashier was the
next question. The smaller man ad-
vocated shooting but the larger man
demurred. Finally they ordered him
into the vault and in closing the door
mashed the cashier’s fingers. The
vault was locked so the cashier could
not get out, then the men deliberately
walked out of the bank, got into their
machine and turning around started
in the direction of Snow Shoe.
It was probably a half hour later
when the Mr. Potter above referred
to walked over to the bank. On en-
tering he failed to see the cashier but
at once noticed the open door leading
into the banking room. He called Mr.
Shope by name and that gentleman
answered from the locked vault. The
latter managed to give Mr. Potter the
combination and he opened the door
and released the cashier who promptly
told of the hold-up. An alarm was at
once sent out in the hope of catching
the bandits, but they already had a
half hour’s start. By diligent inqui-
ry, however, it was learned that they
had driven towards Snow Shoe until
they came to the cross-roads when
they went toward Kylertown and
Clearfield, but there the trail ends.
Fairbank’s Greatest Picture Coming
to State College.
“The Three Musketeers,” coming to
the Pastime, State College, January
9th and 10th, is announced by Mr.
Baum, manager, as the most gripping
and spectacular film ever produced by
Douglas Fairbanks.
Based on that universally read clas-
sic by Alexander Dumas, “The Three
Musketeers,” and added to from the
Memoirs of D’Artagnan, this feature
is said to embody more that is adven-
turous, romantic and dramatic than
it has ever before been possible to in-
corporate in a film vehicle.
The feats of swordsmanship alone
in this picture are said to be worth
, the price of admission.
Fred Niblo, who directed Douglas
‘ Fairbanks in “The Three Musketeers”
was formerly a Cohan & Harris star
in the “speakies.”
George Melford’s superb picturiza-
tion of E. M. Hull’s famous novel,
| “The Sheik,” which is the literary sen-
sation of the year, will be seen at the
. Pastime theatre January 6th and Tth.
| Agnes Ayres, Paramount star, and
! Rudolph Valentino, who made such a
hit in Cammille recently shown there,
are portraying the leading roles.
Another big picture scheduled for
early showing there is the Queen of
. Sheba, for January 16th and 17th.
EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY, BUT
| A DOG WITH A BROKEN TAIL
HAS A WEAK END.
A week-end is usually considered
a holiday, something the majority of
jus look forward to, yet few of us are
: fortunate enough to realize.
Some of us are so busy that we fail
to grasp the importance in giving
our eyes a rest. Weak, tired or
strained eyes are a detriment to your
appearance and are continually sap-
ping away energy. A pair of rest
glasses will prevent both.
