It is a strange fact that many who are daily exposed to danger from drowning do not know how to swim. This is true of lumbermen, of men in the navy, of many who are members of crews on ships and boats. It is not underestimating the facts to say that fully twenty-five per cent of all the young men and boys in the United States over twelve years of age do not know how to swim, and the percent- age is, of course, much larger when applied to both sexes and all ages. Every one should know how to swim, for at least three reasons: It is a splendid form of exercise, judged from the standpoint of physiology, re- sulting in improved health, accompa- nied by ease and grace of carriage; it imparts self reliance and courage, which become elements in one’s char- acter, increasing one’s power both for? good and against evil; and finally it may prove the means of saving life. Realizing from these facts the ne- cessity for action, the Young Men’s Christian Associations have undertak- en to teach swimming upon a very comprehensive basis, their slogan be- ing “Every Man and Boy in America a Swimmer.” As a means of stimulating interest the physical committee of the Y. M. C. A., of Bellefonte, has appointed H. I. Mentzer, physical director of the Y, to give part of his time this summer to this instruction. Groups will be arranged according to age and sex. Classes will open on Monday, June 12th. Enrollment can be made at the Y. M. C. A. Special arrangements have been made with Mr. James R. Hughes for the use of his fine swim- ming pool for this instruction. A small fee will be charged which will include admission to the pool. Swim- ming instruction classes are open to members or non-members. ———— Coppings Shows Drawing Big Crowds. The Harry Coppings shows, exhib- iting on the old fair grounds all of this week for the benefit of the Brooks-Doll post of the American Le- gion, are drawing big crowds every evening. The shows reached Belle- fonte early Sunday afternoon in eight cars and were quickly unloaded and put up on the fair grounds. Sunday evening the band of eleven pieces gave a sacred concert in the Diamond and on Monday afternoon they gave a parade. A large crowd attended the carnival Monday night and the Le- gion’s share of the receipts the first night was sufficient to meet their ex- penses for the week. On Tuesday the band went down Pennsvalley, playing along the way and Wednesday morning it went down Nittany valley. Yesterday they took a trip up Bald Eagle. There are eight separate shows in the Copping combi- nation with a number of concessions and all who have attended say they are worth the price of admission. If you have not been down don’t fail to go either tonight or tomorrow night, as that will be your last opportunity. Remember you will be helping the American Legion by going. The sol- dier boys are endeavoring to accumu- late a fund to purchase a home for themselves. They have several prop- erties in view and are hoping to have enough money by fall to come to some decision. —— ds ——Why walk a mile for an even- ing’s entertainment when you can go to the Scenic and see a wonderful pro- gram of motion pictures.

Law Violators Sentenced. At a session of court last Thursday Steve Starry, of Philipsburg, was sen- tenced by Judge Quigley to three years in the western penitentiary. « A month or more ago Starry was arrest- ed in Philipsburg for disorderly con- duct and placed in the borough lock- up. During the night he set fire to his cell and tried to burn the place down. He was brought to the Centre county jail and at the May term of court was convicted of malicious mischief and sent to jail for three months. Two weeks ago he broke into the cell where the contraband liquor was stored and helped the prisoners to a goodly sup- ply of the wet goods. For this act he was arraigned for larceny, plead guil- ty and was sent to the pen for three years. On Saturday Starry’s sweetheart, Anna Vidunsky, of Wilkes-Barre, plead with Judge Quigley for her lov- er’s release and he finally withdrew the penitentiary sentence and released Starry. The young people at once went to the register’s office, secured a license and were married forthwith. Garfield Boalich, also of Philips- burg, was paroled at a special session of court a few weeks ago after plead- ing guilty to the charge of bootleg- ging. He also promised to be good but a week later drank to excess and was again arrested. The court sent him to jail for six months and impos- ed a fine of five hundred dollars. For stealing a watch from a fellow employee at the Bellefonte silk mill, Harry McCullough, of Spring town- ship, was sent to the Glen Mills school. Malcolm J. Lane, of Osceola Mills, was brought before the court on the charge of forging checks. He plead guilty to the charge but informed the court that he had made good all mon- ey secured on the checks and paid all the costs. He asked that any sentence that be imposed would be in the coun- ty jail, as he is taking a correspond- ence course in expert accounting and would like to continue the work. The court decided.to investigate his case before imposing sentence. me———p sme. ——We use nothing but pasteurized and clarified cream in our ice cream. We give service and quality.

R., De- partment of Pennsylvania, held in Al- toona this week. Thirty-eight years ago, or in 1884, the encampment was held in Bellefonte and many of the older residents of the town will recall the wonderful gathering of old sol- diers here at that time. They num- bered up in the thousands and special trains were run to Bellefonte to carry the crowds of visitors. Now, only a few hundred can be gotten together at the annual encampment and the old soldiers have lost the wonderful en- thusiasm that characterized their gatherings of many years ago. ——— a —————— ——The fifth annual reunion of the Peters family will be held in Kohl- becker’s woods, west of Milesburg, on Saturday, June 17th. It will be a bas- ket picnic and all members of the family and their friends are cordially invited to attend. Miscellaneous Business Transacted by Borough Council. Eight members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening. Thomas Hazel, who lives on Ridge street, appeared in per- son and informed council that he is the man who owns the bees complain- ed of by George Weaver at the last meeting of borough council, explain- ing that Mr. Weaver is mistaken as to the bees being a nuisance. That he had plowed his lot right close up to the bees and they never disturbed the horses. He also offered to plow the Weaver lot free of charge. He also stated that the bees are located with- in three feet of his house and they never disturb any one. The Street committee reported var- ious repairs on the streets and also the collection by the borough man- ager of $459.37, which included pay- ments by property owners on the Bishop street highway, sewer per- mits, ete. The Water committee reported that a force of men are at work repairing the reservoir and putting it in good shape. Also, that property owners are now putting down the new water line out to the neighborhood of the Jewish cemetery and that water has been turned on at two properties. This line is being put down at the expense of the property owners and a shut-off will be placed on each individual line, so that the borough will have the right and power to control the supply of water. The committee also reported the collection of $12.50 on the 1920 water duplicate and $5.00 for water from the Sparks Bros. show. Mr. Fauble, of the Finance commit- tee, reported that the balance of the borough treasurer in the Bellefonte Trust company is $2531.16. He also asked for the renewal of notes for $2000, $2000, $1500, $1100, $1000 and $2000, all of which were authorized with orders to pay interest on same. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented the burgess’ check for $171.78 for licenses collected. Mr. Waite, of the Sanitary commit- tee, reported that he had visited the Thomas Hazel home and inspected the bees in controversy but so far as he was able to judge they are perfectly domesticated bees. He also stated that he had visited various places where nuisances had been complained of and found several that should be abated and so notified property own- ers. John J. Bower appeared before council and asked permission to take the Logan pumper to Hecla park for two or three hours on July 4th, on the occasion of the Logan picnic. Mr. Cunningham stated’ that the Fourth of July would be a bad day to take the fire apparatus out of town but he made a motion that the matter | be referred to the Fire and Police committee, which was done. Mr. Bower’s request brought up a discussion as to the right of the fire- men to respond to out-of-town alarms, and it was the universal sentiment of all that no response should be made when it is known that there is no wa- ter in the vicinity of the fire with which to fight the flames. The Fire and Police committee was instructed to see that the sentiment of council is observed. Mr. Fauble stated that at the time of the sale of the mountain lands of the Pruner estate for the benefit of the Pruner orphanage council had passed a resolution requesting the treasurer of the orphanage commis- sion to invest the money received from the sale and also any surplus he might have in his possession in Lib- erty bonds, but he had been informed by the trustee that no such investment had as yet been made. The matter was referred to the Finance commit- tee for investigation. . Mr. Emerick presented the request of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. for exoneration of water tax amounting to $32.50. The matter was referred to the Water committee with instructions. Borough manager James D. Seibert stated that he had about cleaned up the 1920 water duplicate with the ex- ception of the Titan Metal company and asked council’s wishes in regard to the collection of the bill in ques- tion. The matter was referred to the Water committee. Members W. J. Emerick and Darius Waite were elected delegates to at- tend the annual meeting of the Asso- ciation of Boroughs to be held at Stroudsburg June 20th to 22nd, inclu- sive. Bills to the amount of $2180.32 were approved for payment after which council adjourned. cee sneer. Centre County Wool Clip Sold.

Three girls have given farming as their preference and will be graduat- ed from agricultural courses. Three will take up chemical laboratory work and two will follow interior decorat- ing as a trade. Two others will go in for dramatics and four have selected social service. There is a quartet of dietitians, three will take up gradu- ate studies, two in Y. W. C. A. work and one will tackle the business field. The others will become school teach- ers, seventeen in home economics and two in physical education, with nine- teen in miscellaneous teaching branch- es. Advanced registration for the many courses offered to school teachers in the Summer session at the College is far greater than for any other pre- vious year. Inquiries from teachers have been so numerous that a third edition of the Summer session cata- logue has been exhausted. Last year's enrollment of 1905 is expected to jump to the 3000 mark by the time of the opening on Monday, June 26th. More than a thousand have already regis- tered in advance. J. A.

We are try- ing to earn money to go camping at Camp Kline, the big Williamsport camp along Pine creek above Jersey Shore. On July 10th we expect to leave. Some boys would like to have jobs at which they could work regu- larly, being paid weekly. We are going to try to be on the track meet at Boalsburg on June 22nd, which is for all the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Centre county.

The annual commencement of the Spring township High school at Pleas- ant Gap, on Wednesday evening, was a great success. Every feature was well arranged and well-nigh faultless. The audience was surprisingly large, which condition was not anticipated owing to confliction with the High school commencement in Bellefonte. Every one of the Seniors acquitted i him or herself admirably. The mem- 545, almost a hundred more than last | bers of the class were, Jean Noll, Ray- mond Ishler, Mildred Zettle, Leonard Peters, Beatrice Noll and Vera Hile. No hesitancy was noticeable throngh- out the entire program. The subjects were appropriate to existing condi- tions. The class song was a delight- ful affair. The class poem was a mod- el of expression, and the class will abounded in generosity. The proph- ecy was unique, evoking a generous share of the applause, which was fre- quent during the exercises. | The array of the participants evok- | ed numberless praises; every arrange- ment accorded with the ideal evening. The music, furnished by the Miles- burg orchestra, was of a high order, and its effect was emulating; the per- sonnel of the performers met with many encomiums. The address, delivered by Professor Gramley, a former teacher, was rife with joyous sentiments, sound wis- dom and advice, that will be sure to be verified in life’s activities in and about Pleasant Gap. In tone and fa- cial features the audience would have reflected credit to any city or com- munity. The individuals composing the au- dience evinced a taste for literary events. The interest depicted upon the faces of the pupils of the other classes of the school was gratifying. Former graduates of Pleasant Gap school are intensely loyal to their town, showing an eagerness to assist making success certain; which tend- ency had a beneficial bearing. The number of intelligent visitors from a distance was surprising, all of whom manifested an interest akin to that of the most deeply interested kinsmen of the pupils. The members of the board of directors of Spring township are true as steel; it is seldom that direc- tors more readily support school measures as do the members of our board. Rev. Piper and Rev. Kepler demon- strated their regard for education by their presence, their interest and their participation. These are two worthies {indeed. Rev. Wagner portrayed his | ideas most effectually in his sermon to | the class on Sunday evening. ——We will pack and deliver ice cream to your home any time you want it. All we ask is a trial.

Moore, publisher of the Pittsburgh Leader and noted stage beauty of a score and more years past, died at her home at 2:20 o’clock this morning after an illness of several days. At the bedside at the end were her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Calbit; Mr. Moore, her niece, Mildred A. Martin, and Dr. C. B. Schill Decker. Following a crisis in Mrs. Moore’s condition Saturday night her physi- cians had expressed belief that she would rally, but late today it became evident that she had suffered a re- lapse. While it was recognized that the situation was grave, members of the household nevertheless made known late in the evening that no alarm was felt. ——The “Watchman” gives all the news while it is news.
