Week of Celebration in Bellefonte
Presbyterian Church.
The Bellefonte Presbyterian church
has been celebrating Mother and
Daughter week in an unusual way.
On Sunday morning there was a pro-
cessional of the mothers and daugh-
ters from the chapel to the church au-
ditorium. The church had been tasti-
ly decorated with dogwood and lilac
and each worshipper, upon entering
the building, was presented with a
spray of lilies of the valley. There
was special music in honor of the oc-
casion and the pastor, Rev. D. R. Ev-
ans, paid an eloquent tribute to wom-
anhood as he told the story of the
Shumenite woman of the Old Testa-
ment. In the evening there was a spe-
cial musical service, commemorating
“Music week in Pennsylvania.” Mr.
Grabill gave a twenty-minute organ
recital which was followed by a var-
ied and inspiring selection of vocal
numbers by the choir under the lead-
ership of Mrs. Alberta Krader. The
evening program will be repeated this
coming Sunday evening.
On Monday evening a banquet was
served to the mothers and daughters
by the members of the Brotherhood of
the church. The celebration was
unique in that the banquet was plan-
ned, served and even the clean-up
work done by the men. Approximate-
ly 120 women and girls sat down to
the banquet tables at 6:45. The toast-
master of the évening was Col. J. L.
Spangler, who revealed his ability as
a post-prandial speaker. In an elo-
quent speech he emphasized the value
of church loyalty. The following pro-
gram was rendered: Zither selection,
Stephen Aplin; solo, “The Wee House |

abiding impression on the members

is a general feeling that such a cele-

the life of the church.

The passenger train east on the
Lewisburg railroad on Monday after-
noon was held in Bellefonte until al-
most evening owing to a wreck just
east of Centre Hall station. An extra
train came over the Lewisburg early |
Monday morning hauling a carnival
company on its way to Osceola Mills.
The regular train to Bellefonte hauls
a milk car which is dropped off on the
main track just east of the Centre Hall
station and is later picked up by lo-
cal freight going east. After hauling
the carnival company to Bellefonte on
Monday morning the engine and one
coach was returning light to Sunbury.
They passed the local freight at Le-
mont and being unaware of the milk
car on the main track at Centre Hall
crashed into it headon. The car was
badly wrecked and the engine was
thrown almost crosswise of the track.
The engineer was injured, though not
seriously. A work train from the Wil-
liamsport division cleared up the
wreck.
The State Forest commission
has granted the application of the
Penn Central Light and Power com-
pany, of Altoona, for a fifty foot
right-of-way through the Logan State
forest for the purpose of erecting a
high tension electric transmission line
across the Seven mountains from its
Raystown plant to connect with the
Keystone Power Corporation’s lines
which supply electricity to State Col-
lege, Bellefonte and many portions of
Centre county, including the western
penitentiary at Rockview.

The Academy minstrels of 1923
have set a record that future amateur
entertainers from the noted old insti-
tution on the hill will find it hard to
keep pace with.
Their annual appearance at the Gar-
man theatre, last Thursday and Fri-
day nights, revealed that there is
splendid talent in both music and com-
edy among the students. Certainly it
was the most finished and entertain-
ing show they have ever produced and
the two large audiences that greeted
' them were enthusiastic in their recep-
tion of the various acts.
The singing and instrumentation
were executed with the harmony and
! style of professionalism, while several
i of the specialties in the olio were clev-
er enough to make good on a “big
time” vaudeville circuit.
| The ballads “Pal o’ Mine” sung by
’ | William Schmidt; “My Buddy” by
Jack Yeager; “God sends a little gift
of Roses” by Addison Parsons; “Flan-
der’s Requiem” by Cecil Walker and
“Faded Love Letters” by James Par-
rish, were all tuneful and rendered
with such confidence as to elicit fre-
quent encores.
The quartette: Cecil Walker, W.
Fred Reynolds Jr., James Seig and
Clarence Williams made a distinct hit
with their rendition of “Forsaken Am
I,” “Little Cotton Dolly,” and the en-
cores they were called to respond to.
Providing the comedy for the first
part were Herbert Beezer, Earl Mec-
Creedy, William Korber, Edward Cole-
man, William McCabe and William
Mosco, on the ends, four of them real
singing comedians. “Aggravatin’ Pa-
pa” by Herbert Beezer and “New Or-
leans” by Earl McCreedy were the hit

| Athletes Winners in High
| Schools Meet.
Athletes from all over the county
gathered here on Saturday to decide
track and field supremacy among
High schools of Centre county.
Bellefonte High school boys won
the honors in the Class A events for
boys with a total of 53 points; State
College was second with 37, and
Spring Mills was third with 9. The
boys from class A schools ran some
wonderful races and lowered the
marks in a few of the events. Belle-
fonte athletes outclassed their oppo-
nents and scored in every event ex-
cept the high jump and baseball
throw. State College was strong in
the field events winning the discus
throw, baseball throw and high jump.
| Shope was the high scorer for Belle-
fonte, total ten points, Thomas second
, with eight points.
With the Class B schools, Millheim
High school, who lost out by one point
last year, came back with a determin-
ation and won nine first places out of
a possible ten in the boys’ events, and
lowered four previous records. Walk-
er township (Hublersburg), came
from behind in the latter part of the
meet and took second place away from
Centre Hall, Centre Hall being the
winners for the last two years. Cable,
Hosterman and Burd were the out-
standing stars for Millheim while
Faust was the high scorer for Centre
Hall, scoring twelve of Centre Hall's
twenty-one points. Cable featured the
meet by breaking three former rec-
ords—the shot put with a heave of
47 feet 7 inches, former record 43
feet. He won the baseball throw at a
distance of 813 feet, and the broad
jump with a jump of 17 feet, 1 inch,
former record 16 feet, 8 inches. The
girls from Walker township and Port
Matilda took the first places in all

——There was quite a heavy frost
yesterday morning. Roofs in Belle-
fonte were white as if under a light
fall of snow at 5 o’clock in the morn-
ing. Does anybody remember how
many fogs we had in January? The
old saw runs: Each fog in January
means a frost in May. Strange as it
may seem many of the early beans,
the most sensitive of the early gar-
den vegetables, have not wilted un-
der any of the numerous frosts that
have fallen since they broke through
the ground.
——At the recital given Saturday
afternoon by Miss Rebecca Lyons’ mu-
sic pupils, at the home of Miss Linn,

‘dancing of Gale Mitchell, Herbert

expected from amateurs but Mr.
Van Hee, both by voice, action and
stage grace revealed marked talent as
a serio-comic actor.

and full orchestra numbers were all
executed with technique that was sur-
prising. George Johnson, leader, and
Sam Dibert, who will probobly suc-
ceed him since this is Mr. Johnson’s

showed rare talent.

Bellefonte Academy Reflections.
With a fund of over five hundred
dollars on hand as the result of the
minstrel performance headmaster
James R. Hughes feels very grateful
to the merchants and business men of
Bellefonte, the Odd Fellows and Wetz-
ler’s band, and all those who in any
way contributed to the success of this
vear’s performance. The show was
repeated at the penitentiary on Mon-
day evening from 6:30 to 8:30 o’clock. '
The inmates had the stage and light-
ings all in place and they as well as
the officers manifested considerable
enjoyment during the performance.
The minstrel dance in the armory
was voted a decided success by all who
attended it. Many guests were pres-
ent from out of town and the music
of Hite’s orchestra, of Altoona, was an |
inspiration to all dancers. The dec-
orations in blue and gold were most
appropriate.
The swimming pool on Hughes field
has been thoroughly scrubbed from
top to bottom and end to end, and on
Wednesday the work of filling it with
fresh water was begun in anticipation
of warmer weather and the opening of
‘the bathing season.
The Bloomsburg Normal baseball
nine will be the Academy’s opponents
on Hughes field at 2:30 p. m. Satur-
day, May 26th. It ought to be a good
game as these two schools are in the
same class. The Academy lost its
games to the Pitt Freshmen and the
Pittsburgh Collegians, owing to ina-
bility to hit when hits were needed.

Arrangements for the institution of
the Penn-Centre chapter of the Order
| of DeMolay, which will take place in
ithe opera house next Monday even-
|ing under the auspices of Constans
Commandery, Knights Templar, of
Bellefonte, have been practically com-
pleted. Members of the Commandery
will meet at the Masonic temple at
seven o’clock. They will be dressed in
full Templar regalia and under escort
of Wetzler’s band, of Milesburg, and
followed by the candidates for the new
order, will march down High street to
the Bush house. There they will meet
Ralph C. Minehart, deputy grand
councillor, of Pittsburgh, and Charles

| passing the young candidates through
the two degrees will be done by the

up their score.
The meet went off like clock work,
every event timed to the minute. This
, Was due to the students from the Ru-
ral Life club, from Penn State, led by
Hank Kauffman, Varsity track man.
These eighteen seniors from the Col-
lege were given entire charge of the
meet. “Will” Payne, a member of
this group, was official announcer.
Too much credit cannot be given this
! group of students for the efficient way
in which they conducted the meet.
The Boy Scouts, led by Rev. Maynard,
sold programs, soft drinks, acted as
messengers, ticket takers, and police,
and certainly were a great help to the
officials.
In the girl’s events for Class A, the
contest was close, the relay race de-
ciding the winner. However, Spring
Mills vocational girls put the strong-
est relay team in the field and won the
beautiful cup given by the State Col-
lege Business Men’s association. This
cup becomes permanent property of |

You Cannot Think of Two Things at
the Same Time.
Your think-box is large enough to
record enough thoughts which if plac-
ed on Victor records would reach
around the world. The faculty of the
human mind by which it comprehends
the ideas communicated to it by five
senses is limited by the impressions
made. Seeing makes the deepest im-
pression. So it is very important
that one should see clearly, distinctly
and accurately. =
If in doubt about your vision con-
sult me.
