NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— The David J. Kelly family, who
have been located at York, Pa., for
several years past, moved this week
to Greer, West Virginia, where Mr.
Relly has been located since last
March.
— The Ladies Aid society of the
Methodist church will give a birth-
day dinne. at the church Friday even-
ing, October 13th, from 5 to 7 o’clock.
A charge of one cent for each year of
age will be asked. The public is in-
vited.
— Alexander Tedford Barclay Jr.,
is the name given to the young son
born Wednesday, to Mr. and Mrs. A.
T. Barclay, of Galveston, Texas. Mrs.
Barclay, who has lived the greater
part of her life in Bellefonte, is well
know here as Miss Emeline Cooper, a
niece of the Misses Benner.
— Mr. and Mrs. Russell J. Strick-
ler, of Tyrone, are mourning the death
of their four month’s old daughter,
Norma Pauline, who died last Thurs-
day and was buried on Saturday after-
noon in the Grandview cemetery. Mr.
Strickler was formerly a resident of
Bellefonte and his friends here sympa-
thize with him in his bereavement.
The Brockerhoff house has a
new chief clerk in the person of Rob-
ert Finley Stewart, who went to work
on Monday morning, taking the place
of John Shaughnessy, resigned last
week. Mr. Stewart has had consider-
able experience in catering to the pub-
lic and is so genial and courteous by
nature that there is every reason to
believe he will be a big asset to that
popular hotel.
The Penn State football team
defeated Gettysburg on Saturday by
the score of 20 to 0. The State fresh-
men won from the Bellefonte Acade-
my 6 to 0 while the Bellefonte High
school lost to Jersey Shore by the
score of 40 to 0. Inasmuch as the
High school has not played football
for two years, and are building a teain
out of all new material, their defeat
at the hands of Jersey Shore is no
discredit to them.
Nittany valley is evidently one
of the best milk producing sections of
Centre county, according to Mr. Frank
Hoag, superintendent of the Western
Maryland Dairy milk shipping station
in Bellefonte. He is credited with
stating that in all his experience in
the milk business he never came in
contact with a valley that was able to
pour forth such a regular supply of
milk as Nittany valley. Even the pro-
longed drouth affected it very little.
——One of the biggest bobcats ever
killed in Centre county was slaughter-
ed last week near Panther, in Liberty
township, by “Wildcat Bill” Walker.
It was over four feet in length and
weighed thirty pounds. The animal
was treed by dogs and Mr. Walker
went to investigate with nothing more
formidable than a revolver. His first
shot wounded the animal which jump-
ed from the tree and made for the old
hunter but a second shot put an end
to its career.
——In publishing the list of con-
tributors to the uniform fund of Wetz-
ler’s band, of Milesburg, last week, we
unintentionally omitted the American
Legion, of Bellefonte, and we cheer-
fully give them credit in this notice.
Every world war soldier in Centre
county has an especially kind feeling
for Mr. Wetzler and his band, as he
was always on hand to escort them to
the train when they went forth in re-
sponse to their country’s call and his
band led them at their official welcome
home.
——The State Highway Depart-
ment has sent out an appeal to own-
ers of automobiles and trucks to send
in their applications for the 1923 mo-
tor vehicle registrations and licenses.
The department anticipates an un-
usually large demand for the 1923 li-
censes and shipment of license plates
will begin on or about November first.
The fees and requirements will be the
same as for 1922. All those who use
their cars and trucks every day should
get their application in so they will
be assured of having their license
plates by the first of the year.
——Some very decided changes
have been made in the lobby of the
Bush house which gives that hotel
quite a metropolitan appearance. The
counter, desk and all the office equip-
ment has been moved into the alcove
to the right of the lobby where the tel-
ephone booths stood, the latter being
moved into a smaller alcove in the
rear. The lobby thus extends back to
‘the waiting room, which adds consid-
erable to its size and lounging space.
‘When the rear portion is papered and
painted it will be furnished with rugs
and comfortable furniture which will
make it not only a lounge in name but
a lounge in reality.
— Last Thursday afternoon Rev.
and Mrs. T. W. Young motored to
State College and with Mrs. Albert
Spengler and her sister as guests,
started on a little drive toward White
Hall. But they didn’t get far for the
reason that two young men coming
out of a side street ran into Rev.
Young’s car literally shoving it
throught the fence on the opposite side
of the street. Fortunately nobody was
injured but both cars were considera-
bly damaged. : Rev. Young secured
the number of the license tags on the
car driven by the young men and in
that way was able to trace their iden-
tity. “The cost of repairing his car
was paid by the two men.
AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
Fifty-third Anniversary of Bellefonte
Y. M. C. A. to be Celebrated
Next Week.
Bellefonte, glorious in its history
and bathed in tradition and folk-lore,
is known throughout the State and,
indeed, the United States, because of
its great men and splendid institu-
tions. But how true it is that we
need distance in order to get the right
perspective of any great object. In
order to appreciate the Matterhorn or
Mt. Everest one must be miles away.
Folks who live right here in Belle-
fonte, in the very center of a place
famed in history and the annals of the
Keystone State, fail too often to eval-
uate properly the town in which they
live and also the institutions of the
town. Something akin to a prophet
being without honor in its own coun-
try.
One organization of Bellefonte, at
least, is not getting the appreciation
it deserves and the support that it
merits, says general secretary S. S.
Aplin. Back of it are fifty-three years
of history; a list of supporters whose
names are familiar in the records of
the State; a long succession of fine
achievements and noble accomplish-
ments; and that institution is the
Bellefonte Y. M. C. A.
Do home folks know that the Belle-
fonte Y was organized October 19th,
1869, and that it stands today as a pi-
oneer among the other Y. M. C. A’s
of the State? Fifty-three years ago
a group of serious minded men gath-
ered together to consider the estab-
lishment of a Young Men’s Chris-
tian Association, and that very night
the organization was formed, consti-
tution and by-laws drafted, and offi-
cers elected.
Citizens of the town ought to be
thrilled by the thought that at that
initial meeting General James A. Bea-
ver, later famous statesman, Gover-
nor of the Commonwealth, and Judge
of the Superior court, sat as president
pro-tem, while Daniel H. Hastings, in
after years Governor of the State of
Pennsyivania, acted as secretary. That
first committee on the formation of a
constitution consisted of these splen-
did men and pioneers in the develop-
ment of Bellefonte: D. H. Hastings,
R. B. Wilson, J. J. Rankin, D. F. Fort-
ney and John G. Love.
What other Y. M. C. A. in the whole
United States can boast of such a
galaxy of wonderful men as its found-
ers and advocates! They were men of
high ideals, and the Y. M. C. A. to
them epitomized all that was good
and noble. It was the child of their
dreams, and they nurtured it with
almost motherly care and patience.
And yet we, today, are failing to en-
ter into the spirit of those splendid
men and are not giving our whole-
hearted support which the institution
founded by them richly deserves.
Those men were men of action.
Dilly-dallying had no place in their
life program. Just exactly three
days after the organization of the Y,
citizens were enrolled as members.
The record book, which thrills one
with inspiration, shows that on Oc-
tober 22nd, 1869, among others,
Charles F. Cook was enrolled as an
active member.
It was a great piece of work and
the whole town seemed to be back of
the movement. Jew and Gentile,
Catholic and Protestant joined hands
in furthering the interests of this
organization that was destined to
mean so much in the building of
character and the strengthening of
the spiritual tone of the town. It was
an association sponsored by earnest
and determined men, of the commu-
nity, by the community, and for the
community. Have we lost that com-
munity spirit in promoting something
for the common good?
Enthusiasm was at high pitch, and
great things were accomplished, for
where enthusiasm is found there, also,
will be found success and victory.
Citizens of the town, according to the
minute books, gave subscriptions to
papers, periodicals, and magazines
for the Y. M. C. A. reading room;
while other members conducted
prayer meetings about the town in an
effort to improve spiritual conditions.
Bibles were placed in the hotel
rooms of the town by the association.
Interest was taken in music and choral
classes were carried on under able in-
structors. The intellectual welfare of
the town was not forgotten, as the
following lecturers were billed at var-
jous times: Wendell Phillips, Dr.
John Lord, Henry Ward Beecher, Josh
Billings, Anna E. Dickinson, Olive
Logan, James Parton, DeWitt Tal-
madge, and others.
Other incidents of historical inter-
est might be mentioned, but suffice it
to say that back of this local Y. M.
C. A. is a glorious history; a score of
men, some dead and gone, who fath-
ered the organization in the days of
its infancy, and whose names are fa-
miliar in. the history of the county
and the State; sincere, consecrated
men who gave their time and their
talents in the development of the in-
stitution; over a half century of
worth-while achievements. What a
thrill of pride we ought to feel living
so close to such a glorious organiza-
tion! Dare we fail to respond to the
earnest call that echoes from the past
that we today “carry on!” Resplend-
ent and beautiful in its past history
the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. appeals to
the citieznship of the town to blend
their efforts into great community en-
deavor to make the future even more
splendid than the past.
With such a history behind it it is
only fitting that the anniversary of
the organization should be appropri-
ately celebrated and for this purpose
the following program has been ar-
ranged:
Sunday, October 15~The Y
churches and Sunday schools.

During the week of the 15th a spe-
cial effort will be made to increase the
membership in all the departments to
the total of 500. A committee, head-
ed by Charles R. Beatty, are laying
the plans and are assured that with
the assistance of the present member-
ship, the goal will be reached. The
general public is invited to go and in-
spect the fine equipment for the peo-
ple of Bellefonte in the development
of true manhood and womanhood.
——J. C. Coulter, of Pittsburgh, has
been appointed parole officer of the
western penitentiary to succeed John
M. Egan, recently promoted to war-
den, as successor to John Francies.
——The Young Woman’s Mission-
ary society of the Presbyterian church
will hold a tureen supper in the chap-
el next Tuesday evening at 6 o’clock.
All those participating should tele-
phone either Mrs. Charles Mensch, on
the Commercial phone, or Miss Anna
Hoy, Bell phone 269. Miss Mary H.
Linn, who just recently returned from
Alaska, will be present and tell of her
experiences and observations on the
trip.
——The time of year is here when
the evenings are not only growing
longer but cooler and naturally every-
body is looking for entertainment in-
doors, and the one place where this
can be secured at a nominal cost is at
the Scenic, watching the motion pic-
tures. More people attend the movies
today than ever before, a fact that
can be accounted for because ofthe
‘high class of pictures now in. circula-
tion, and manager T. Clayton Brown
always gets the best for the Scenic.
eee eee eset.
——Milesburg will be the spotlight
attraction all of next week. The com-
mittee in charge of the old-home com-
ing demonstration and ceremonies in-
cident to the dedication of their sol-
dier’s monument next Friday have
booked the Corey Shows for exhibi-
tion there from Monday morning un-
til Saturday night. The make-up of
the Corey shows include three riding
devices, ten big shows and a total of
seventy-five attractions. Milesburg
citizens are a hospitable crowd and
will welcome you every day in the
week.
Parent Teacher’s Meeting.
The first Parent Teacher’s meeting
of the season was held in the High
school auditorium on Monday evening
at 8 o'clock. A very interesting pro-
gram was presented, opening with
musical numbers. The audience sang
“America” for the opening, followed
by a piano duet by Miss Shuey and
Miss Sunday. Cecil Walker and
James Seig sang a duet. Mrs. Gregg
Curtin was appointed a delegate to
the State convention of the Parent
Teacher’s association to be held at
West Chester October 26th, 27th and
28th. Miss Grace M. Kelsey, dental
hygienist, was introduced by Miss
Elizabeth Meek, who has been instru-
mental in securing this assistance to
the health of the school. A tooth
brush drill and quiz was given by a
group of fourth grade boys and girls.
Miss Kelsey also conducted a clinic on
one of the boys and demonstrated the
work assigned this department of the
State Board of Health. At the close
of the clinic an opportunity was given
for questions relative to this import-
ant feature; the children should be en-
couraged in living up to what is
taught them. Many parents had
questions to ask. It is hoped that Dr.
Holister, who has charge of this de-
partment, will be in Bellefonte to
further promote the work. Three of
the new teachers were infroduced to
the parents by the new president, S.
S. Aplin. Refreshments were served
in the domestic science department at
the close of the program. The first
meeting of the season was pronounced
a success by many of the members,
nearly one hundred of whom attended,
despite the fact that it was a rainy
evening. Grades’five and eight were
tie for attendance honors in the Al-
legheny street school and the fifth
grade in the Bishop street building.
The next meeting will be held on No-
vember 13th, and speakers of the
teacher's institute will address the
parents.
BIG DEMOCRATIC GATHERING.
Will be Held in Court House This
(Friday) Evening.
An old-time Democratic meeting
will be held in the court house, Belle-
fonte, this (Friday) evening and the
public in general is invited to turn out
and hear the issues of the campaign
intelligently discussed by the candi-
dates themselves. Everybody is in-
terested in “cleaning up the mess” at
Harrisburg, and the only way to do it
is to put in new men—men who will
not be under obligations to shield
any individual or smother up any
trickery. Every voter will be told
at this evening’s meeting how
this can be done. Here is the list of
speakers who will be present:
John A. McSparran, candidate for
Governor.
Judge Samuel E. Shull, candidate
for United States Senator.
A. M. Thompson, candidate for Sec-
retary of Internal Affairs.
J. Frank Snyder, candidate for
Congress.
W. I Betts,
Senator.
Miss Zoe Meek, candidate for the
Legislature.
Each and every one of the above
candidates has made a study of pres-
ent economic conditions, as well as
candidate for State
ithe important issues of the present
campaign, and are able to discuss
them intelligently and convincingly.
Every voter, regardless of political af-
filiations, should be there, as the mes-
sage these speakers will deliver con-
cerns each one individually.
The Odd Fellows band will furnish
the music and every indication points
to an enthusiastic gathering.
rr ——— are
Bellefonte Elks Hallowe'en Carnival.
The third annual Hollowe’en carni-
val to be given under the auspices of
the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks will be
held on Tuesday evening, October
31st, and plans already under way in-
dicate that it will surpass any former
demonstration.
The liberality of the business men
of Bellefonte have made it possible to
offer a large number of valuable prizes
for the Mummers, which should result
in a big parade and great variety of
costumes. The parade and contest-
ants for prizes are not limited to
Bellefonte, but open to residents of
every section of the county. The best
musical organizations in the county
will take part in the parade.
One of the leading orchestras at
State College has been secured to fur-
nish music for a costume dance to be
held in the armory after the parade—
from nine to one o’clock.
The Harvest Queen contest last year
proved such an interesting innovation
that a similar contest will be conduct-
ed this year. The selection will be by
popular vote, at one cent a vote, and
the proceeds will be devoted to chari-
ty. The contest will open at 10 o’clock
a. m., Monday, October 16th, and close
at 10 o’clock p. m., Saturday, October
28th. Votes can be secured from
members of the committee of ar-
rangements or at the Elks club. The
votes will be counted every day and
the result posted on a bulletin board
in front of the Elks. The winner of
the contest will receive a valuable
prize in addition to being crowned
Harvest Queen and occupying the
place of honor in the parade.
An Opportunity Unusual.
Under the auspices of the Bellefonte
Music Club, at 8:15 o’clock this (F'ri-
day) evening, in the Presbyterian
chapel, there will be given gratis (no
admission charged, no collection tak-
en) a musical recital of unusual mer-
it. The artists on this occasion will
be from Pittsburgh, in a program of
original composition, the composer-
pianist, Othelia Averman Vogel, and
Helena Himes, soprano, two young
State federation prize winners, will
give the whole recital from memory,
without one note of music.
While other recitals and concerts
are being planned for the coming win-
ter, a song recital by Miss Elizabeth
Hood, president of the State federa-
tion of music clubs; two concerts by
the State College music club, it must
be understood that the Bellefonte
club’s primary object is to study mu-
sic, to learn more about it; and so all
are cordially invited to become mem-
bers, either active or associate. Music
is an important factor in community
life. In our observance of all special
days music has a first place, the bet-
ter our music the more fitting our ob-
servance.
