High School Musical Comedy Next
Wednesday and Thursday.
Final rehearsals are now being held !
for “Wi Hung’s Tea House,” the Jap- !
anese fantasy and musical comedy to
be given by the Bellefonte High school
glee club in the opera house on Feb-
ruary 7th and 8th, and everybody :
connected therewith is confident they
will be able to give the best presen-
tation in the history of this orgau-
ization.
“A Box of Dolls,” a little sketch by
twelve clever tiny tots from the
grades in both buildings, will be giv-
en between acts and will, in itself, be
worth more than the price of admis-
sion. In addition there will be fans,
parasol and lantern drills that are
very picturesque.
Arrangements have been made with
large Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the-
atrical concerns for elaborate stage
settings and costumes. Miss Mary
McSuley, of Bellefonte, has contribut-
ed a dainty tea house that will add
considerably to the charm of the ori-
ental setting of the first act. The
manual training department has a
real rickshaw under way.
The colored posters in the various
shop windows are the work of Miss
Margaret Buser, of Altoona, and are
calling forth considerable favorable
comment.
The glee club promises many times
the low cost of your ticket, hopes for
two packed houses, and would like to
put out the “standing room only” sign
each night.
Local Electric Light and Power Ce.
Again Changes Hands.
Negotiatins have just been complet-
ed whereby control of the Keystone
Power Corporation has been acquir-
ed by the American Water Works and
Electric company, Inc. The home of-
fice of the latter company is in New
York. Mr. J. George Kaleber, of
Rochester, N. Y., retains a large in-
terest in the Keystone company and
is to remain as its president.
Arrangements have been made
with the West Penn Power company, |
one of the subsidiaries of the West
Penn company—which is also control-
led by the American Water Works and

stone company will be managed and
operated by the West Penn organiza-

Careful studies of the territory sup-
plied by the Keystone Power Corpor-

they have expressed themselves as be-

GRAY.—Durbin Laurie Gray, a for-
} mer Bellefonte boy, passed away at
| the United States Veteran hospital,
{ West Haven, Conn., on Sunday, fol-
i lowing a siege of illness that dates
‘back to his service in France during
' the world war when he was a victim
lof a German gas attack. Prior to
‘going to West Haven he spent some
weeks at Mont Alto but failing to re-
spond to the treatment there was re-
moved to the Veteran hospital men-
tioned above.
He was a son of Durbin S. and Mary
Laurie Gray and was born in Belle-
fonte almost thirty-seven years ago.
His father died four months before he
was born and the entire responsibility
for his care and education fell upon
his mother’s shoulders. He attended
the public school in Bellefonte and
finally entered State College for a
course in civil engineering but quit
college before graduating. He made
| engineering his profession, however,
and on leaving Bellefonte went to
Philadelphia. He laid out the town of
Brown’s Mills, New Jersey, and as-
sisted materially in the early stages
of the building operations there. He
j was one of the engineers who helped
in laying out Camp Dix, the big train-
ing camp in New Jersey and when his
work there wae< completed he enlisted
for service in Company C of a regi-
' ment of engineers raised in Philadel-
phia. In due time he was sent over
seas and saw almost two years service
‘in France. Some of it was road
{ building back of the lines but much of
+ his work was in the fighting zone and
la portion of it with the first line
| troops preparing roadways and bridg-
es preliminary to the advance of the
soldiers. It was while thus engaged
that he suffered the gas attack that
undoubtedly resulted in his illness
after returning home. When he re-
turned from France he located in
Wellsboro and it was while
there that he was married to a young
woman of that town.
Two years or more ago he became
ill and at the solicitation of friends
went to Mont Alto for treatment but
failing to improve he was finally
moved to the Veterans hospital at
West Haven. He put up a good fight
but the struggle was in vain and he
passed to his reward on Sunday, his
mother being with him at the time.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on the 9:50 a. m. train on Tues-
day and taken to the home of Miss
Mira Humes where funeral services
were held at two o’clock on Wednes-
day afternoon by Rev. David R., Evans
of the Presbyterian church, assisted
by Dr. A. M. Schmidt, of the Reform-
i ed church, after which burial was
made in the Union cemetery.

of Mrs. J. E. Ward, of Bellefonte, died
quite suddenly of heart failure at his
home in Freeport, Ill, on Wednesday
of last week. His health had not been
good for a year or more but early on
i Wednesday morning he remarked that
he felt better than he had for some
time. He ate his breakfast and did
| some chores around the house and

ter township, the Pine Grove Mills
i Academy and a normal school and at
an early age began teaching. He
taught twelve years in Centre county
and in 1876 went to Illinois, but in the
fall of the same year he returned
home. The lure of the middle west,
however, had gotten into his blood and
in 1878 he again journeyed to Steph-
.enson county, Ill, and that had heen
his home ever since. The first eight
years of his life there were speat in
teaching school and in 1886 he was
‘elected county superintendent of
i schools, a position he filled two terms,
or eight years. Upon his retirement
he purchased an interest in the Free-
{ port Bulletin, which he retained until
| publication of the paper was suspend-
(ed several years ago. In politics he
was a staunch Democrat and was one
of the leaders in his county for many
! years. In 1898 he was a candidate for
' State Superintendent of Public In-
| struction but was defeated at the clec-
| tion. He was a member of the Pres-
| byterian church, the Masonic order,
men of America.

Mr. George E. Silloway on Near East
Relief.
Mr. George E. Silloway is regional
director for Near East relief, being in
charge of the States of Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, District of Col-
umbia and West Virginia. It was
through his efforts that the State of
Pennsylvania was able to take care of :
thousands of orphans in the orphan-
age in Alexandropol, Tiflis and adja-
cent towns in the Near East.
Mr. Silloway has been connected
with the Near East relief since its in-
corporation by Congress in 1919, and
previous to that achieved signal suec-
cess in Red Cross work. His wonder- |
ful success in Pennsylvania is due to
his remarkable personality, his broad
christian spirit and his self sacrifice.
His many duties in the capacity of |
regional director have prevented him
from speaking on his favorite theme,
that of Near East relief, and it will be
a great opportunity for the members of
the Bellefonte Presbyterian church
to hear him on Sunday morning.

third rating in the exhibit of three-
-eighths wool, and fourth in the coun-
ty exhibit of medium wools, at the

Death of a Centenarian.
Last week the “Watchman” carried

who lived to be almost one hundred
{laid to rest Clearfield county’s oldest
| resident died in the person of Mrs.
Ania Guelich Heisey, who was in her
8 months and 22 days. She was a
daughter of G. Philip and Sarah Ha-
ney Guelich, her mother having been
born and raised at Milesburg, this
born and spent her entire life in
Clearfield county, the past few years
with her grand-daughter, Mrs. Don
Gingery, in Clearfield. She was one
of a family of nine children only one |
of whom survives, Mrs. Sarah Guelich
Ritter, aged 90 years, who lives at
Garden City, Mo. She was the moth-
er of seven children and outlived all
but one, Miss Alice Heisey, of Pitts-
burgh.
| ——=RBeveral weeks ago a gentleman
for the Howe Computing Scales com-
pany, canvassed Centre county in the |
interest of cash registers and supplies.
His specialty seemed to be trading in
old registers on rebuilt ones, offering
such a good allowance for the old ma-
i chines that the inducement was too
‘good to overlook. Of course he also
exacted a deposit of cash on the trade
.and after working Bellefonte, State
College, Pleasant Gap and possibly
other towns he disappeared. The new i
i registers failing to arrive an investi-
gation was begun and the fact was
i discovered that the man in question
had not been with the Howe Seale
company since December 15th. All
efforts to locate him have proved fu-
i tile up to this time. Some of the pay-
ments made to him were in checks
{ drawn to the order of the Howe Scale
‘company and as these have been re-
turned with the endorsement of that
, company it also looks as if the gentle-
man in question has been guilty of for-
gery as well as false pretense.
Mid-Year Graduation at State College.
i Mid-year graduation exercises were
held at State College this week when
approximately seventy men and wom-
en were granted diplomas. This is one
of the largest mid-year classes ever
graduated by the College. Six of the
graduates were women, while a total
‘of five advanced degrees were also
conferred at the exercises.
| President John M. Thomas confer-
| red the degrees and also made the ad-
‘dress to the graduating class. The ex-
ercises were informal, the formal com-
mencement always taking place in
June. Several graduates were mem-
bers of former classes whose gradua-
tion was delayed because of military
service.
The schools of engineering and lib-
eral arts claimed the bulk of the mid-
‘year graduates, each having a total
of twenty-four. Agriculture . came
‘next with fifteeen, while mines had
| three, natural science 2, and the de-
‘partment of home economics one.
: Eleven of the graduates had compiet-
ed the course in commerce and fi-
nance, with industrial engineers next
,in line with eight graduates.

CHICKENS ALWAYS
COME HOME TO ROOST
This has been proven many times.
Whether lost or stolen, chicken:
will make every effort to get back
[home at resting time. It's just the
| same with the human family, only we
{fail to realize that there is a resting
{ time. Defective eyes are working
| from the time they awake in the
morning until they retire at night, anc
are only at rest when asleep or wher
wearing properly fitted glasses.
If in doubt about your eyes consul
