Dr. Meek Gives a Word Picture of
Anchorage.
Anchorage, Alaska.
Sunday, November 5, 1922.
My dear Home Folk:
When I wrote “Sunday” I smiled,
since that is merely a word in this part
of the world. “Seven days in the
week do they labor,” and yet I have
not seen, in this year and a half, any
excess affluence as the result of that
extra day’s work; but have seen more
nervous patients and mental break-
downs than ever before in the same
space of time, and number of people.
Here in Anchorage, trains are run,
and carpenters do their work, etc.;
the only difference is that the stores
are closed and offices pull down their
front blinds. The church bells do
ring, and perhaps you'll be surprised
when I tell you that one of the big
congregations here is the “Scientist;”
in fact, all over Alaska one finds many
who have left the orthodox beliefs and
gone for new teachings. Well, they
have plenty of time for any form of
study.
In the interior one finds many well
read men, and one gets a surprise,
upon walking into a cabin that seems
bare and crude, to see several shelves,
perhaps two-thirds, about the walls
full of very good books; always lots
of the standard ones, as well as a few
of the more recent “best sellers.”
You would think therefore, that “gos-
sip” would be “taboo.” You are
wrong, for somehow, with all the
reading and the most wonderful out-
door life and scenery, the movements
of the most insignificant are watched
and commented upon with the same
zest as in the small community of the
populous “outside.” The deduction,
being, of course, that “Judy O’Grady
and the Col. Lady, ete,” and you
will not be wrong if you’ll please have
that line desexed. One finds the male
just as fond of noting his neighbor’s
comings and goings as the female.
I wish you could be here with me for
a spell. Of course you would not like
the climate, but as I sit here and raise
my eyes the snow capped range (or
snow-clad to the timber line) to the
north, puts on the most wonderful
shadow effects, while from the win-
dow toward the west, the booming of
the surf as it breaks against the rocks
just a few blocks away, makes a mu-
sic I love to hear. Anchorage is damp
and this year has been very foggy and
rainy, hence a bad place for rheumat-
ics, but thus far there has been but
one slight snow-fall so that today the
grass is still green and mud prevails
on the side streets; not my idea of an
Alaskan winter!

Keystone Players Please Audience.
The “Little Theatre” at the Y. was
well filled to greet the performers of
the first number of the entertainment
course last Friday evening. The gym-
nasium was transformed into a com-
plete theatre, seating arrangements,
orchestra and stage setting and ef-
fects were up to the standard and as-
sisted greatly in the success of the
affair. The stage properties were
loaned the Y. by O. A. Bittle and the
Electric Supply Co. The first part of
the program consisted of selections by
the individual members of the Key-
stone Players, who are the feature of
the course.
A number of musical monologues
were rendered by Miss Helene Fry
Hoffman in a very pleasing manner,
accompanied on the piano by Miss
Miriam Smith, of Bellefonte, who also
played for the violinist and dancer.
The violin selections by Elizabeth
Stopper were well received and dis-
played excellent handling of classic
selections. Miss Dorothy Brandt, a
juvenile dancer of fourteen years of
age, danced two toe dances which
were novel numbers. Howard W.
Butler captivated the audience with
his well selected and rendered read-
ings. They were along the line that
interest and inspire. The evening’s
program was closed with a one act
drama, “In Honor Bound.”
The next number will be Friday,
January 12th, when in addition to the
Keystone Players in the comedy, “The
House Across the Road,” Karl Stade,
soloist, and Harry C. Kaseman, vio-
linist will appear.

and for some time was in charge of
Dr. Heaton’s chicken farm. Since last
August, however, he had been care-
taker at the home of Hon. Harry B.

at Unionville on Monday afternoon,
burial being made in the cemetery at
that place.

DEITZ.—Ephriam G. Deitz, a well
known resident of Jacksonville, passed
away at his home in that place last
Friday morning. He had been in ap-
parently good health up to five o’clock
on Thanksgiving evening when he suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy and passed
away at five o’clock on Friday morn-
ing. :
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Deitz and was born in Bald Ea-
gle valley about twenty-seven years
ago. For several years past he has
worked for John C. Condo in his
threshing and other operations. In
March, 1919, he married Miss Mary
Weaver, of Marion township, who sur-
vives with one daughter, Josephine.
He also leaves his father and the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: Mrs.
Pearl Beatty, Mrs. Maude Pletcher,
Trenna, Reed, Walter, Hazel, Ray and
Dean, all of Blanchard. He was an
industrious and energetic young man
and had many friends who sincerely
mourn his death. Burial was made at
Jacksonville on Monday.

HOY.—Mrs. Swengle Hoy died at
her home at Howard on Wednesday
morning as the result of complications
following an operation she underwent
several months ago. She was sixty-
three years old and is survived by her
husband, who is also critically ill as
the result of a stroke of paralysis, and
the following children: Mrs. Roy
Garbrick, of Pleasant Gap; Mrs. J. J.
Vonada and John, of Howard, and
Harry, on the homestead farm. She
also leaves two brothers, John Zeigler,
of . Howard, and Frank, of Renovo.
Burial will be made at Howard to-
morrow.

State Clinic to be Opened.
It will be recalled that the State
clinic in Bellefonte was closed several
years ago because the State Health
Department would no longer pay
room rent for dispensaries and the
town was not then aroused to the
point of providing room and heat.
Since that time patients have had to
go to Lock Haven to receive medical
attention provided by State dispensa-
ries—an inconvenient and rather ex-
pensive arrangement.
The tuberculosis committee of the
Women’s club became interested and
undertook to secure a room, as Dr.
Francine, of the State Health Depart-
ment, offered to establish a clinic as
soon as a room was provided, with the
result that the W. C. T. U. room, used
by the Red Cross nursing service will
also be used for the State clinic to be
opened next Tuesday. Dr. David Dale
will have charge, with Miss Ethel
Campbell as dispensary nurse. The
clinic will be held every Tuesday
afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock and
Miss Campbell, who is dispensary
nurse also in Tyrone, will spend Mon-
days and Tuesdays in Bellefonte and
vicinity looking after patients.
Y. Team to Open Basket Ball Season.
The Y. M. C. A. team will open the
basket ball season next Monday, when
they will play the strong Alpha Del-
ta Sigma team of State College. The
team being in good spirits after hav-
ing a practice game with Spring Mills
and winning very easily, will enter
the game with the same confidence to
win.
Such men as Thompson, Kline,
Stock, Clemson, Herman, Lyons, Noll,
Martin, Showers and many other good
men are turning out strong for prac-
tice and hard work to get the team in
good condition. They expect the sup-
port of the sportsmen of the town to
help them win their first local game.
Go and stand by your home team.

—If that big blizzard and snow
storm that is traveling eastward from
the Rocky mountains reaches the east
with force enough to tie up railroad
traffic, there will be a greater dearth
of coal than even the most pessimistic
have contemplated. With no hard coal
of the usual domestic sizes in the Belle-
fonte yards the situation is not only
acute but decidedly alarming. Of
course Bellefonte is not the only town
that is short of coal. Other towns and
localities in this part of the State are
in the same condition,

Brief Sessions of Borough Council.
Seven members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil on Monday evening. In the ab-
sence of president Walker Mr. Cun-
ningham was elected president pro
tem. There were no verbal nor writ-
ten communications.
The Street committee reported re-
pairs on various streets and the col-
lection of $75.00 from the State High-
way Department for the use of the
road roller. Mr. Brouse called atten-
tion to the fact that the street lights
are turned off shortly after six o’clock
in the morning, and as it is quite dark
at that time they should be kept on
until later. As the contract stipulates
that the lights shall be turned on half
an hour after sunset and kept on un-
til half an hour before sunrise the
matter was referred to the Street com-
mittee to take up with the Keystone
Power company.
Mr. Hazel stated that residents of
east Logan street had entered com-
plaint about drainage water polluting
that thoroughfare above Ridge street
and the matter was referred to the
Street committee and borough man-
ager.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $143.94 on the 1921
water duplicate and $101.61 from the
Sutton-Abramsen Engineering com-
pany for scrap iron.
Mr. Flack, of the Fire and Police
committee, reported that he had re-
quested members of the Bellefonte
Hardware company to remove the
empty oil barrels in the rear of their
store and they had retaliated by tell-
ing him that council had better clean
up around the Phoenix pumping sta-
tion before they go after anybody else.
On motion the secretary was instruct-
ed to officially notify the company
that if they did not at once abate the
nuisance complained of action would
be taken to compel them to do so.
The Sanitary committee reported
progress on the preparation of a milk
ordinance.
Bills to the amount of $655.90 were
approved and council adjourned.

Proclamation Citizens of
More than a million refugees in the
Near East are looking to America to
save them from starvation. Two hun-
dred and fifty thousand boys and girls
made orphans by the Turks, are cry-
ing for bread. Unless they are given
immediate help they will die of hun-
ger and exposure.
President Harding, in a special
proclamation, has asked that we give
generously to relieve this terrible suf-
fering during this season of Thanks-
giving. He urges that the people of
the United States grasp the magni-
tude and pathos of a situation involv-
ing the absolute known destitution of
over a million and a quarter women,
children and old men.
There is a poignant note of despair
and tragedy in every message snatch-
ed from the air by the Near East re-
lief. Appeals to “save us” come al-
most hourly from the dismal, barren,
snow-covered plains where these help-
less, homeless people are facing death |
from hunger and cold. Hundreds of |
thousands are on the verge of col-
lapse and unless help comes quickly,
all hope will be gone.
The Near East Relief has been des- |
ignated by Congress to give help to
these sufferers. The needs exceed all
previous calculations. Food and cloth-
ing must be shipped at once. Ware-
houses must be replenished. We must
not let these helpless, hungry people
die when we have it in our power fo
save them.
I urge all citizens at this season of
Thanksgiving to give thought to these
needs and to be generous in contrib-
uting to this cause, recalling that “he
gives twice, who gives quickly.”

Music Study Club Meeting.
The subject for study at the next
regular meeting of the Music Club
(in the Episcopal parish house at 8
o’clock Friday evening, December 8th)
will be Scotch, Irish and Welsh music.
Concerning the “theory” a few re-
marks will be contributed by a num-
ber of the active members of the club,
and the musical side will be brought
out by a men’s chorus, a woman’s sex-
tette, vocal solos and duets, by a pia-
no number and also a violin, and folk
songs. In order not to lose any part
of the year’s study all members are
urged to be present at every meeting
of the club.

— The limited rainfall during the
latter part of the summer has caused
a drought all over the State that is
becoming so acute as to stop the
wheels of industry and imperil the
health conditions in many localities.
Fortunately Bellefonte, with its big
spring of pure water that never var-
ies even in the dryest season or most
rainy weather, is not affected, and
every resident of the town should be
extremely thankful for this natural
blessing. But in many sections of
the county farmers have been hauling
water for weeks. Cisterns, wells and
springs are dried up and while the
condition is bad enough it would be
much worse if winter should come on
with a rush before a ground soaking
rain.
Let the Fauble stores make
your Christmas shopping easy. 48-1t
——Christmas shopping has not
been very heavy in Bellefonte up to
this time, notwithstanding the fact
that the stores and shops are well
stocked with many useful and appro-
priate articles. Of course there are
two weeks yet in which to do your
buying, but the early shoppers always
get the pick of the many nice things
offered. Last year at this time holi-
day shoppers were busy as bees and
the buying was not confined to the last
week or two of the season. “Watch-
i man” advertisers are offering many
nice things suitable for gifts, and they
are all worthy of your patronage.

Complete Report of Dental Hygienist
With a Personal Word to Parents
From the Hygienist.
The traveling dental clinic from the
State Health Department spent a
week in Bellefonte during September
and cleaned and filled the teeth of as
many pupils as possible in the fourth
grades. This was followed by the
services of a dental hygienist for two
months, provided by the tuberculosis
committee of the Women’s club, out
of Christmas seal funds. Miss Grace
Kelsey, graduate of Columbia, was
hygienist for the first month, then re-
signed to accept a position in New
York and was succeeded by Miss Hen-
rietta Waters, graduate of the
Rochester Dental Hygiene school.
Both hygienists submitted a report,
well worth publishing, at the end of
their month’s work and Miss Waters
has added a little personal message
that she hopes every parent will read.
Miss Kelsey, after working in first
and second grades in the High school
building reported: Teeth in 63 mouths
cleaned; found 326 cavities in decidu-
ous teeth, 31 cavities in permanent;
only 6 mouths could be marked
| “clean.”
From first grade, Bishop street
building: Teeth in 38 mouths clean-
i ed; 363 cavities in deciduous teeth, 32
! cavities in permanent teeth. “Only
i three mouths could be marked “clean.”
Miss Waters, after working in first,
| second and third grades, Bishop street
| building and Parochial school, report-
‘ed: Teeth in 117 mouths cleaned;
i found 755 cavities in temporary or de-
| ciduous teeth, 84 cavities in perma-
i nent teeth. Mouths free from decay-
ed teeth 9; dirty mouths 77; clean
| mouths 5; Fair 35; brush used daily
{ 6; brush used occasionally 42; brush
| not used 69; Fistula 7.

{ A Tooth Message to Bellefonte Parents,
| From Henrietta Waters, D. IH.
“In the first, second and third
grades of the Bishop street and Pa-
rochial schools, 117 children’s teeth
were cleaned. Of these, 77 were found
to have dirty teeth, 33 fair and only 5
clean.
Only 6 children brushed their teeth
daily; 42 brushed them occasionally
and 69 used their brush not at all.
Right here the co-operation of par-
ents is needed in maintaining clean
mouths. The hygienist cannot see
that each child cleans his or her teeth
daily. :
Only 9 children were found whose
mouths there were no decayed teeth.
In 117 mouths there were 84 cavities
in the permanent teeth and 755 in the
temporary teeth. All of the perma-
nent teeth should be filled and many
of the temporary. Others should be
extracted.
. In many mouths, the badly decayed
temporary teeth are furnishing verit-
able garbage cans through which the
child’s food is passing and carrying
with it germs and decayed food par-
ticles. Children are often unable to
properly masticate their food because
of these useless and aching teeth.
Can health be maintained under these
conditions ?
Seven children were found to have
fistulae, or abscesses on the gum
which were discharging pus into the
mouth cavity. If the temporary teeth
were properly cared for by the dentist
such an unwholesome condition would
not exist.
Many of the permanent teeth in-
volved were the precious six-year
molars, the most important teeth in
the dental arch; in fact, the keystone
of it. When necessary to extract
these teeth early in life, malacclusion
or lack of proper relationship between
the jaws and teeth results.
Help the hygienist to help your
child. Take advantage of the chart
sent home and send your child to the
dentist if he needs to go?”

Bezdek to Remain at State College.
An interesting piece of news sent
out from State College this week was
the fact that coach Hugo Bezdek has
turned down the twenty thousand dol-
lar a year offer to become manager of
the Philadelphia baseball club and will
stay at State College, in his present
position as dean of physical education
and coach of the football team.
In declining the offer Bezdek said:
“With me it is a question of service,
and I feel that there is a far greater
opportunity for service in working
with young college men than there
would be in professional baseball. In
college work there is the wonderful
chance to influence the young men in
the right way and to help materially
in building character. Financially this
means the sacrifice of several thous-
and dollars a year, but ideals cost
money and I find that my ideals can
best be worked out in college ranks.
In making my decision, the many ap-
peals from students and alumni ask-
ing me to remain in Penn State also
had their effect and for these reasons
I felt that I could not consider the
Phillies offer.”
