HEALTH WORKERS WORRIED.
Complaints Made to Borough Council
of Deplorable Conditions in
Bellefonte.
Miss Elizabeth B. Meek and Miss
Pearl Meeker, Red Cross community
nurse, appeared before borough coun-
_cil at its regular meeting on Monday
§
i
i
i
{
evening to enlist the aid of the bor-
ough law makers in a more rigid en-
forcement of the State health laws.
They cited the fact that children af-
flicted with measles were allowed to
go outdoors and play with other chil-
dre and no quarantine was placed on
the homes. They charged dereliction
of duty on the part of physicians or
the local board of health in not re-
straining children thus afflicted from
running loose, as it were, and their
homes without the necessary quaran-
tine. President Walker stated that he
didn’t believe that there is a physi-
cian in Bellefonte who would counte-
nance any one suffering with a com-
municable disease to have the liberty
of the town, and neglect to report
their home for quarantine. The ladies
then qualified their statement by say-
ing that in a number of instances the
families thus afflicted had refused to
call a physician for fear of the quar-
antine, and it was such cases that
were the most annoying. Complaint
was also made as to the deplorable
condition of Logan street, and several
other localities where the most ordi-
nary health laws are being flagrantly
violated. The anti-spitting law should
be more rigidly enforced and as a cli-
max the ladies asserted that children
with heads covered with lice are al-
lowed to attend the public schools. In
this connection Miss Meeker called at-
tention to one family of fourteen, liv-
ing in a four room house, who are
polluted with lice. President Walker
informed the ladies that so far as the
school children are concerned that is a
matter for the school authorities to
handle and council has no jurisdiction.
As to their other complaints they were
referred to the Sanitary committee and
the board of health, with instructions
to look into the matter at once and
abate any nuisance over which the
borough has control.
Clay Witmer, who lives on east
High street, also complained about the
unsanitary condition around the
homes of one or two of his nearest
neighbors, and the same was referred
to the Nuisance committee. Mr. Wit-
mer further complained of the short-
age of the water supply at his home
and his statement was supported by
W. H. Macker. The matter was re-
ferred to the Water committee and
borough manager.
David Price appeared before council
and entered a vehement protest on
what he characterized as an attempt to
collect from him mere water tax than
he was entitled to pay. The matter
was referred to the Water committee
and secretary of council to straight-
en out to Mr. Price’s satisfaction.
The Street committee reported the
collection of $132.25 on the Bishop
and Pine street paving.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $39.50 on the 1920 water
duplicate.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer’s report which showed a
balance on hand May 1st of $3612.53.
The committee also asked for the re-
newal of a note for $3,400, and report-
ed that the first three months note for
$2,450, given in payment on the new
pumpers, was due and Mr. Fauble
made a motion that the same be paid,
and it was so ordered.
The Fire and Police committee re-.
ported that a new motor had been or-
dered for the Bellefonte fire alarm and
the same should be here most any day.
Mr. Cunningham inquired as to the
sentiment of council in permitting the
pumpers to be run to fires out in the
country, especially when said fire was
a frame building and with every like-
lihood of its being about burned down
before the company could get on the
ground. Considerable discussion fol- | >
| sentation to two nights only, Thurs-
lowed as to when and under what cir-
cumstances the companies should re-
spond to out of town calls for aid, and
as no satisfactory decision could be
reached the matter was referred to
the Fire and Police committee.
The Street committee reported that
they had examined the street signs
made by High school students and
recommended the same to be put up.
The matter was referred to the com-
mittee and borough manager with
power.
Report was made that the State-|
Centre Electric company will furnish | .
the paint if council applies it to the
lamp-posts and the offer was accept-
ed.
President Walker stated that the
Postoffice Department has, requested |
| Harry E. Garbrick, the merchant at
council to co-operate in a correct num-
bering of the business places and
houses in town, but no definite action
was taken.
Regarding the request of the Amer-
ican Legion that council pass a day-
light saving resolution the Special
committee reported that there is no
law empowering council to take such
action, and it would be impossible to
enforce a resolution, if passed, so no
action was taken.
Mr. Emerick, of the Special commit-
tee, reported in connection with the
request of the Krader Motor company
for a permit to erect a garage on
Howard street, that the matter had
been gone into very carefully and in
the opinion of the borough solicitor
and the committee the ordinance ere-
ating a fire zone in Bellefonte prohib- |
its the erection of any building such
as the Krader Motor company con-
templated, which would be in part of
wood and frame construction. Coun-
cil, however, would have no jurisdic-
tion over the erection of a fireproof
building.
The borough manager reported
that the five minute parking signs
have been erected on south Water
street.
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, stated that George A. Beezer
would like an extension of the sewer
on east Curtin street to the new house
he is building. The matter was refer-
red to the Street. committee and bor-
ough manager.
Bills approximating $570 were ap-
proved for payment and council ad-
journed.

—F'ire believed to have originat-
ed from a defective flue, completely
destroyed the residence of C. L. Good-
ling, superintendent of the experimen-
tal farms at State College, on Sunday.
The building was of frame and the
flames made such rapid headway that
the student firemen were unable to
save it from destruction. They suc-
ceeded, however, in saving some of
the furniture and personal belongings
of the Goodling family. At one time
the large barn housing thirty head of
college horses was threatened but
hard work on the part of the students
saved it. The loss on the house is es-
timated at $8,000, fully covered by in-
surance.
\
—District manager W. J. Shread,
of the Western Union Telegraph com-
pany, was in Bellefonte on Saturday
transferring the local office from the
management of H. B. Hall to that of
B. D. Nethery. The latter gentleman
is from Coatesville and has been plac-
ed in charge of the Bellefonte office in
the belief that he will make a compe-
tent and enterprising manager. The
open hours at the Bellefonte office
have been made the same as those a
few years ago—from 8 a. m. to 12 m.;
1to 6 and 7 to 8 p. m. Sunday hours,
9 to 10 a. m,, and 5 to 6 p. m. For
some time past the hours had been
from 8:30 a. m. to 7 p. m., which made
it very inconvenient for business men’
and the public at large. With the re-
establishment of the old hours the
company aims to give the people of
Bellefonte a service equal to any town
of its size.

as E. Jodon, of Pleasant Gap, drove
to Unionville in his Franklin car
where he was joined by Floyd Sander:
| danger.
Child Dies as Result of Automobile
Accident.
Russell Gehret, six year old son of
Earl and Minnie Hockenberry Gehret,
of Axe Mann, died at the Bellefonte
hospital last Thursday evening as the
result of a fractured skull sustained
in a fall from an automobile the same
afternoon. The boy, who was a little
past six years of age, was a pupil at
the Axe Mann school. On Thursday
afternoon Dr. R. C. Weston drove to
Axe Mann in Miss Rebecca Rhoads’
car to make arrangements for a meet-
ing at the school house on Friday
evening at which Miss Rhoads was
one of the speakers.
His visit occurred just at the after-
noon recess and some of the boys and
girls importuned him for a ride in the
car. He took a load of them down to
the bridge and back to the school
house, then started back to Bellefonte.
The Gheret child, was either sitting or
lying down on the running board of
the car and Dr. Weston did not know
he was there. According to all ac-
counts, however, after he had ridden
a short distance the lad undertook to
get off and was either thrown or fell
on his head. Dr. Weston knew noth-
ing of the accident until Friday even-
ing but some of the other scholars
saw him lying in the road and calling
the teacher, they went to the aid of
the injured child. He was unconscious
and was sent to the Bellefonte hos-
pital where he lingered until late
Thursday evening when he passed
away.
Russell, who was born in Williams-
port on October 30th, 1915, was an
unusually bright child and his unfor-
tunate taking away is a sad blow to
his parents as well as his many little
friends. In addition to his father and
mother he is survived by one sister
and two brothers, Maxine, Edward
and Earl Jr.
Funeral services were held in the
church at Axe Mann at two o’clock on
Sunday afternoon. Rev. Reed O.
Steely, of the United Evangelical
church, was the minister in charge and
was. assisted by Rev. M. C. Piper.
Burial was made in the Bellefonte
Union cemetery. i
The parents of the child do not
blame either Dr. Weston or the
teacher of the school for the tragedy
in their home. They know that the
children were forbidden to get on
passing automobiles and their boy
probably did so without realizing his
American Legion Notes.
The Brooks-Doll Post of the Amer-
ian Legion in Bellefonte needs a home.
This fact is evident because of the
son then proceeded to Philipsburg via | Phenomenal growth of the Legion in
Port Matilda. On the way over the
mountain the car caught fire but they
succeeded in extinguishing the flames
before they did any damage. The men
spent a few hours in Philipsburg and
left in the afternoon on the return
trip, intending to come by way of Bea:
ver Mills. When about six miles out
of Philipsburg the car again caught
fire and although the men fought hard
to extinguish the flames they did not
succeed and the car was entirely con-
sumed. The gas tank contained ten
gallons of gasoline but instead of ex-
ploding the hot fire melted the feed
pipe and the gasoline poured from the
tank in a stream and burned on the
ground. Mr. Jodon’s loss is about a
thousand dollars. The men were pick-
ed up by another automobile and con-
veyed to Unionville.
Academy Minstrels Coming Soon.
The time for the annual musical
and fun treat given by the students of
the Bellefonte Academy and faculty
is drawing near and from all indica-
tions promises to excel everything in
this line that has preceded it. The
music, songs and jokes will be far in
advance of those given previously and
of a higher order, and the music es-
pecially is to be extra fine.
It has been decided to limit the pre-
day and Friday evenings, May 18th
and 19th. Positively no show will be
given on Saturday evening, as has
been done once or twice before, on
| special request to accommodate those
who failed to attend the regular dates.
A word to the wise is sufficient and!
you will be sorry if you do not buy
your tickets early and make your res- |
ervation. Tickets will be on sale this
week, and Mott's drug store will han-
dle the reservation of seats. =

Fire at Coleville.
: The village of Coleville nestling at
the foot of Muncy mountain had a
good-sized fire on Saturday night when
the garage, stable and wagon shed of
that place, was burned to the ground,
together with a stable on the Latti-
mer Billett property and one or two
other buildings. Mr. Garbrick saved
his horse and delivery wagon but lost
his Overland automobile, a wagon,
harness and considerable other stuff.
John Switzer had his automobile in
the Billett barn and it was also de-
stroyed.
The fire started in the Garbrick
wagon shed, but its origin is unknown.
The flames quickly spread to the ad-
joining buildings and as soon as pos-
sible an alarm was sent to Bellefonte.
Both fire companies responded but the
fire had gained such headway it was
impossible to save anything. The fire-
men, however, kept the flames from
spreading to other buildings. No in-
surance was carried by either of the
fire sufferers, so that their loss is
complete.
Bellefonte to its present numerical
strength. In Lewistown, Lock Haven,
Williamsport, Sunbury and numerots
other towns and cities in Central
Pennsylvania, the local posts of the
American Legion have been provided
with a home. In many instances
these homes have been built or pur-
chased for the Legion by the citizens
of the several municipalities and have
been dedicated as perpetual memor-
ials to the. patriotic services rendered
by the boys in the world war.
There is no way in which a grateful
community can more fittingly express
its appreciation to the ex-service
men than by dedicating to their use
as fine a home as it is possible to buy
or build in the community. The work
of the Legion throughout the United
States is commendable in the high-
est degree. Its activity in providing
for ex-service men, whether members
of the Legion or not, goes steadily on.
The Brooks-Doll Post needs a home
in order that it may rank with its sis-
ter towns in providing for those who
by their efforts made the old home
town a safer and better place to live
in.. What are you willing, to do to aid
the boys in their laudable ambition?
Features and Novelties with “Listen
To Me.”
It is daubtful if any of our massive
extravaganzas, including the “Wizard
of Oz,” ever offered more genuine
novelties than are presented in the
season’s smartest musical fantasy—
“Listen To Me,” coming to the opera
house Monday, May 8th. There are no
less than a dozen novel ideas that de-
velop into real features during the
progress of the production; each ex-
celling the preceding one in marvel.
These include a dancing novelty, the
Imp pony ballet, the snowball ballet
at the North pole with the Eskimo
ballet, and “Candyland,” something
new and novel in stage settings. There
are some forty members in the com-
pay, and it comes to Bellefonte with
flattering press notices.
——The Bellefonte Academy base-
ball team won their opening game

the Academy will play the Dickinson
Seminary nine on Hughes field. Game
will be called at three o'clock. All
fans should see this contest, as it is
sure to be a good one. Tomorrow the
Academy will go to State College and

Forest Fire on Nittany Mountain.
One of the worst forest fires that
has occurred in Centre county in years
broke out on Monday on the MecNitt-
Huyett timber cutting operation on
Nittany “mountain between "Zion and
Hecla. Owing to the extreme dry
weather and the dangerous condition
of the chopping the fire spread over
two hundred acres before it was check-
ed through the hard work of fire
wardens Bartley, Allbright and Kes-
singer, and a gang of volunteer fire
fighters. The forest damage is esti-
mated at $750. This includes grown
timber and young trees.
The fire wardens feel confident that
game in that,section will suffer asthe
result of the:fire, ag the nesting sea-
son for birds is now on and it is just
possible that both pheasant and wild
turkey nests were destroyed.

Many Red Men Coming to Bellefon
Next Week.
It has been many moons since the
red men congregated in their tepees
on the land on which Bellefonte is
built and drank water from the same
spring which now supplies the town,
but next week representatives of thir-
ty-one tribes will be here when the
Central Pennsylvania League of Red
Men hold their annual convention on
Tuesday and Wednesday. Many of
them will be all dolled up in war paint
and feathers, and perhaps carry tom-
ahawks, but their mission will be one
of business and pleasure and not at
all warlike. :
Just how many Red Men will be in
attendance is hard to estimate at this
writing but the committee of arrange-
ments expect several hundred, at least.
The business meeting will be held on
Tuesday afternoon with a big dance
in the armory Tuesday evening. The
program also includes a parade on
Wednesday afternoon. The parade
will form at the armory at one o’clock
and move promptly at 1:45. The route
will be east on Linn street to Alle-
gheny; south on Allegheny to Bish-
op; west on Bishop to Spring; north
on Spring to High; west on High to
the railroad and countermarch to the
Diamond; thence north on Allegheny
street to the school house and disband.

gess W. Harrison Walker has issued
a proclamation requesting automobil-
ists not to park their cars on any of
the above named sections of streets
during the time of the parade.
Various other amusements and di-
versions have been arranged for the
entertainment of the visitors, the
gathering to wind up with a second
dance in the armory on Wednesday
evening. Make your arrangements to
come to Bellefonte next week and
mingle with the Red Men. :
