examination and treatment.
It will be just four years next
groundhog day since the old steam
heat works gave up the ghost and left
Bellefonte shivering cold in the midst
of a rather frigid winter. And many
people who daily cussed everything
about the old plant, as well as the bills
rendered, have wished many a time
since that it could be brought back to
life.
——The deep snow of last week
blocked many of the country roads
but the pathway to the Scenic is al-
ways kept open. The room is com-

evening in the week, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
——While engaged in delivering

——W. C. Rowe, the new proprie-

house there that will hold from 450
to 500 tons of ice and if the season
holds he expects to erect another
house with a capacity of 1,000 tons,
and fill both of them. The deep snow
of last week has interfered considera-
bly with the cutting and storing of
ice.
——During last Wednesday’s snow
storm Mrs. W. C. Rowe’s cat sought
shelter under the porch at her home
on north Allegheny street. The snow
piled up around the porch and the cat
was penned in. Of course the feline
was missed and though search and in-
quiry was made no trace of the little
animal could be found. Five days
later, when the snow had melted down
the cat crawled out from under the
porch. For five days he had been
without anything to eat or drink and
though he looked a little famished at
the time he was not much the worse
for his imprisonment.
S. S. Aplin, of Philadelphia, has
been secured by the board of directors
as the new secretary of the Bellefonte
Y. M. C. A. He arrived in Bellefonte
yesterday morning and before noon
was on the job with a vim which pre-
saged success. But the people of
Bellefonte must bear in mind the fact
that their obligations do not end with
the securing of a secretary. He must
have the generous support of every-
body interested if the money so far
expended in improving the plant is to
bring the much-anticipated returns.
Mr. Aplin will make a thorough sur-
vey of the town and it is quite likely
the Y. M. C. A. will be opened to the
of the borough treasurer for $62.92,

public ‘next week:
TO FUNCTION.
Considerable Business Transacted but
Election of Chief Fire Marshal
Postponed Until Next Meeting.
Every new member was present at
Monday night’s meeting of borough
council and all the old members, with '
the exception of Mr. Fauble, who is
out of town. Immediately after the:
approval of the minutes of last meet- |
ing president Walker announced the
standing committees of council, as fol-
lows:
¥inance—Fauble, Emerick, Waite.
Street—Brouse, Hazel, Fauble.
Water—Cunningham, Brouse, Bradley.
Fire and Police—Flack, Cunningham,
Emerick.
Market—Hazel, Brouse, Flack.
Sanitary—Waite, Hazel, Fauble.
Village Improvement—Bradley,
Waite.
Special—Emerick, Fauble, Brouse, Brad-
ley, Cunningham.
There being no verbal communica-
tions the secretary reported a receipt
Flack,
tax liens collected in the estate of
Hugh Taylor Sr.
John J. Bower, chief marshal of the
Bellefonte fire department, submitted
the report of the underwriter’s test of
the two triple pumpers which he stat-
ed was considerable of a margin
above requirement. He supplemented
the report by stating that the pump-
ers had: also been tested on low pres-
sure plugs and did exceptionally good
work. Mr. Bower gave a list of a few
things missing in the complete equip-
ment of the Undine pumper and one
or two of the Logan pumper, which
will be supplied, after which he rec-
ommended that the pumpers be ac-
cepted 'by council.
Applications were received from
Thomas Howley and H. Elmer Yer-
ger for reappointment as police offi-
cers in Bellefonte.
A communication was received from
the Undine fire company recommend-
ing the election of Robert Kline as
chief fire marshal. A second commu-
nication from the Undines recom-
mended the following men as drivers
for the company’s new pumper:
George Carpeneto, Charles Saxion,
Basil Doll; Paul Houser, Ralph Haag,
Harold Cowher and Frank Smith.
The Logan fire company presented
the following names as the eligible
list of drivers of their new pumper:
J. R. Storch, Ellis Hines, G. Max
Gamble, Homer Barnes, Howard Shu-
ey and M. R. Johnson. ;
The bills from the White Motor
company for the two triple pumpers,
including freight to Bellefonte, etc.,
were presented, the cost of each
pumper being $9,800, or a total of
$19,600.
At this! juncture of the proceedings
a brief recess: was declared to enable
the Fire ddd Police committee an op-
portunity to’discuss recommendations
for chief fire marshal.
On reconvening president Walker
announced: the election of a borough
manager for the ensuing two years in
order and J.-D. Seibert was chosen
without opposition.
Edward ‘M. Gehrett was re-elected
borough ‘treasurer without opposition.
‘The president then asked the mem-
bers of the Fire and Police committee
if they were ready to-recommend a
man for the position of chief fire mar-
shal. Chairman Flack stated that the
committee was unable to agree on one
tee recommended Robert Kline. Mr.
Cunningham stated that he had noth-
ing against Mr. Kline personally or as
a fireman, but he could not join in his
recommendation for the reason that
Mr. Kline is out of the borough from
morning until night every day in the
week (at his work at the limekilns),
and further because he felt that for
the first year at least the chief fire
marshal should be a mechanic and a
man who could organize the two com-
panies into a competent unit, and he
therefore recommended the ‘borough
manager, J.-D. Seibert. Both recom-
mendations were discussed pretty
thoroughly by the various members
and finally it was decided to postpone
the election until the next meeting of
council. :
The Street committee presented the
report of the borough manager which
included the collection of $65.00 on the
Spring‘and Pine street state highway.
The ‘Water committee reported the
collection by the borough manager of
$71.25 ‘onthe 1920 water tax dupli-
cate,:d< It
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported a fire at the William Katz
house on January 9th. The commit-
tee also recommended that the follow-
ing men be elected drivers for the two
pumpers: Undines—Carpeneto, Sax-
ion; Doll: and Houser. Logans—
Storch, Hines, Gamble and Barnes, all
of whom were elected. The commit-
tee further recommended that the
present policemen be retdined as long
as their services prove satisfactory
and the recommendation was approv-
ed by council.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer’s request for the renew-
al of a note for $3,000 for four
months, which was authorized.
Borough manager Seibert reported
that he had investigated the complaint
made by W. C. Coxey at the last
meeting of council relative to the
fencing in of a portion of the alley in
the rear of Logan street by Harry
Keeler, and according to the advice of
the borough solicitors it is only a pri-
vate alley and the borough has no
equity in it.
On recommendation of Mr. Cun-
ningham George Glenn was elected
trafic officer for Saturday nights, or
on other occasions when his services
are deemed necessary.
' NEW BOROUGH COUNCIL BEGINS Mr. Emerick complained about the
condition in and about the old steam
heat plant which he declared consti-
tuted not only a nuisance but a men-
ace to every passerby, especially
school children, and asked if there
isn’t some way that the owners could
be compelled to clean the pavement
and safeguard the public. President
Walker informed him that the ques-
tion of ascertaining the ownership for
the purpose of bringing action has
been in the hands of the borough so-
licitors for some time but so far they
have been unable to discover any-
thing. However, he referred the mat-
ter to the Street committee and bor-
ough solicitors for further investiga-
tion and report.
Bills to the amount of $2327.91
were approved and council adjourned.
——The short course of eight
weeks’ study and practical work in
agriculture was opened last week at
The Pennsylvania State College with
a capacity enrollment of 140 men and
women. Instead of all students pur-
suing the same course of instruction,
opportunity is given this year to spe-
cialize in various farm practices. This
move has brought expressions of great
satisfaction from the students.
E. W. Gray, publisher of the
DuBois Courier, who has been one of
the most active candidates for the
postoffice at that place, has written
Congressman Jones withdrawing from
the race, giving as the reason the fact
that he cannot withdraw from his
newspaper and other private inter-
ests and devote all his time to the
postoffice should he receive the ap-
pointment. The salary of the DuBois
office is $3,000 a year, or more, a pret-
ty nice plum for a newspaper man to
withdraw from.

——A special musical program un-
der the direction of Mrs. Russell
Blair, of Bellefonte, and Prof. C. C.
Robinson, of State College, will be
given in St. John’s Episcopal church
on an evening in February, the date
to be announced later. Members of
the State College glee club and or-
chestra will assist and a chorus of
thirty voices from Bellefonte and
Lock Haven will render several chor-
uses from the great musical masters.
Watch next week’s papers for the
date.
At the annual congregational
meeting held in the Reformed church
last Friday evening, Jared Harper
and Curtis Y. Wagner were re-elected
elders, and E. E. Ardery, E. R. Ow-
ens and C. H. Troup, were re-elected
deacons, each to serve two years. The
several treasurers read their reports
and showed all bills paid with a com-
fortable balance in each treasury. The
total amount contributed during the
year, for all purposes, including $2,-
371.00 paid on Forward Movement
pledges, dmouhtéd to $7,166.00.
If the deep snow lays any
length of time it will be hard on the
birds, especially game birds such as
wild turkeys, pheasants, quail, etc.,
and because of that fact every philan-
thropic person who lives close to the
habitation of these birds should put
out feed for them. Pheasants, per-
haps, are more able to survive than
the other species, as they can live on
buds and such like from trees, but
wild turkeys and quail get their feed
from the ground, and these are the
birds that need looking after. A place
in the woods where these birds are
known to be holding forth should be
cleaned off and corn or grain put out
in quantities sufficient to last for some
time. }
——The law firm of Orvis & Zerby,
of Bellefonte, entered a suit in tres-
pass in the Blair county court on
Tuesday against the Lincoln Deposit
and Trust company, of Altoona, to re-
cover damages in the sum of $10,000
for J. W. Dowling, of Pittsburgh. Mr.
Dowling, according to the statement
in the case, contracted a loan of $8,-
000 from the above named Deposit
and Trust company, giving as securi-
ty a promissory note and a certificate
of stock of the Superior Silica Brick
company for $10,000. Successive pay-
ments of interest were made and final-
ly the defendant company demanded
full payment of principal and inter-
est. Accordingly payment was made
in full on October 1st, 1920, and since
then, it is alleged, the defendant com-
pany has refused to return the certifi-
cate of stock, and it is alleged that
the stock has been cancelled and con-
verted to the use of the defendant.

——Wilmer Albright, a prisoner in
the western penitentiary, came with-
in an ace of getting out of that insti-
tution through the Supreme court
route on Monday. Albright was sent
up from Blair county over five years
ago for feloniously shooting a state
policeman. Albright was sentenced
on three indictments by Judge Bald-
ridge, four to five years on each in-
dictment. He has served five years
and two months and recently appealed
to the Supreme court to order his dis-
charge. Albright went to Philadel-
phia in the custody of an officer to
plead his own case and in doing so he
maintained that his sentence was a
concurrent one, and he had already
overserved his time. Judge Von Mosch-
zisker ordered his immediate dis-
charge when Robert S. Gawthrop, a
deputy attorney general, interposed
and told the court that Albright’s sen-
tences were consecutive and not con-
current. The chief justice promptly
remanded Albright to the penitentiary
and asked that a certified copy of the
Blair county court records in the case
be furnished the court by January
30th, when final decision will be made.
BELLEFONTE LUMBER COMPA-
NY AWARDED CONTRACT.
For Improvements to the First Na-
i tional Bank of Bellefonte.
| At a meeting of the board of di-
‘rectors of the First Nationl Bank of
- Bellefonte, on Tuesday afternoon, the
; contract for remodeling their banking
| rooms from plans submitted by archi-
i tect George S. Idell, of Philadelphia,
{ was awarded to the Bellefonte Lum-
ber company, a local firm of building
contractors. It might be mentioned
that the directors have long contem-
plated the improvements they are now
about to make, but during the past
few years the work was delayed for
obvious reasons. But now that the
decision has been made to go ahead
and the contract let it will mean the
practical rebuilding of the interior of
the present bank building.
In fact the plans call for an entire
new interior, including two large
vaults to be built in the rear of the
present banking room, on ground re-
cently secured from the Crider estate.
The vault which now occupies the
centre of the banking room will be
removed, and the massive door, only
recently installed, will be used on the
new burglar proof vault, which will
be built in accordance with the latest
mode of construction, with walls of
concrete and steel with steel lin-
ing. The vault will be built from
the basement floor up, the lower
part to be used for the storage
of bank goods and old records.
A large number of additional safety
deposit boxes will be added to the
main vault, and easy access for cus-
tomers will be made to the security
portion of the vault, while convenient
coupon booths will also be provided.
A ceiling will be constructed to cov-
er the entire length of the room at the
height of the present balcony, and
three rooms on the second floor will
be available for use for the business
of the bank. All the appointments of
the new room will be of handsome de-
sign and material, and the very latest
heating and lighting systems will be
used. The entrance to the bank will
also be remodeled, which will give
convenient access to the banking
room.
Work on the improvements will be
begun very soon and the contractor
expects to complete the job in a few
months. During the progress of the
work the bank will have temporary
quarters in the T. H. Harter building
on High street, in rooms recently oc-
cupied by the Bellefonte Trust com-
pany.

The Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
The campaign for voluntary contri-
butions to the Woodrow Wilson Foun-
dation was opend in Washington on
