NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— Members of the Brooks-Doll
Post of the American Legion are mak-
ing arrangements for their annual
picnic which will be held at Hecla
park on Labor day, September 3rd.
This will be the last gathering of the
kind this season at that well known
picnic resort.
— There was quite a heavy frost
in many parts of the county yesterday
morning. Out about Gum Stump the
roofs of buildings were white with it.
This is the earliest frost that we have
ever heard of in this section and it is
to be hoped that it has not seriously
blighted vegetation anywhere.
——Altoona expects a crowd of
75,000 or more at the opening of its
motor speed bowl on Labor day when
all of the great racers of the country
will compete in the 200 mile cham-
pionship race. It has required 3,000,-
000 feet of lumber to cover the fifty
feet wide deck of the bowl and at the
turns it is pitched at an angle of for-
ty-five degrees, so that great records
are looked for on the opening day.
Miss Mary R. Illingworth, for-
merly of Pine Grove Mills, who for
some time has been connected with
the Alice Hyson Mission of the Pres-
byterian church at Taos, New Mexico,
has been made principal of the Pres-
byterian day school at Chacon, New
Mexico.” Miss Illingworth writes that
every day the arid, cactus dotted des-
ert about her makes her long “for
Centre county and its green, cool
fields and woods and blue moun-
tains.”
——The big Williams family reun-
ion drew large crowds at both Port
Matilda and Martha, last Saturday,
though the former place had a shade
the largest crowd, according to an im-
partial observer who attended both
gatherings. Good programs of
amusements were given at both places
and everybody had a good time not-
withstanding the fact that the two
gatherings were the result of a rup-
ture in the committee of arrange-
ments.
——William A. Moore, so pleasant-
ly remembered here as president and
general manager of the old Nittany
Iron Co., has just been made a vice
president of the American Kardex
Co., of Tonawanda, N. Y. For sev-
eral years Mr. Moore has held the
position of sales manager for the
company and his new position, while
a splendid promotion, retains him in
the same branch of the business by
making him a vice president and di-
rector of sales.
——Read the Scenic program pub-
lished in another column and see the
offering of high-class motion pictures
presented for next week. Manager T.
Clayton Brown keeps close tab on all
the films produced and selects ‘what
he believes his patrons in Bellefonte
will appreciate. Every picture is new
and up-to-date. They portray real
life in its various phases and in a way
that holds the attention of an audi-
ence from start to finish. Get the
habit and be a regular.
——~Col. and Mrs. J. L. Spangler
went over to Centre Hall on Wednes-
day to be present at the ninety-fifth
birthday anniversary of the Colonel’s
mother, Mrs. Susanna Barger Spang-
ler. So far as the writer can recall
Mrs. Spangler is now the oldest wom-
an in Centre county. She was born in
Snyder county in 1828 but came to
Centre county about 1850 and has
lived at Centre Hall ever since. Not-
withstanding her great age she is a
remarkably well preserved woman.
The DeMolay band made its
first public appearance at Curwens-
ville yesterday where it furnished the

band’s first public apearance in Belle-
fonte will be on September 4th, on the
occasion of the big ceremonial session
when a large number of candidates
will be initiated into the mysteries of
Penn-Centre chapter Order of DeMo-
lay. The band boys are planning a
series of entertainments for the pur-
pose of raising money with which to
purchase Turkish patrol uniforms.
——Mr. O. A. Bittle, who about a
year ago purchased the furniture
store and undertaking establishment
of Frank E. Naginey, in Bellefonte,
has bought a similar business in
Pottsville. He and his wife are now
in that city but will return to Belle-
fonte this week and arrange to move
to Pottsville within two weeks. His
business here will be in charge of
George Harrison, his present assist-
ant, until he can dispose of it at a
satisfactory figure. The business he
purchased in Pottsville is one he has
had in view for years and it being for
sale he promptly closed the deal for
its purchase.
——DMrs. Irving Warner, who will
leave Bellefonte next month, was
guest of honor at the card party Wed-
nesday evening, given by Miss Lida
Morris; Miss Grace Cook was also
hostess at cards the same evening,
while Mrs. H. E. Fenlon will entertain
at cards tonight in compliment to Mr.
:and Mrs. Thomas Hamilton, of New
York city. The social events among
the younger set included a camp par-
ty given by Harold Hoag at “The
Pines,” where he entertained thirty-
four guests; a bungalow party at the
Kerns camp, on Spring creek, where
Edward Kerns and Cameron Heverly
were hosts for a party of fourteen;
and Mrs. Charles E. Dorworth’s an-
nual picnic party at Hecla, at which
her Sunday school class of fourteen
of the younger girls will be her
guests.
STATE-AID ROAD MONEY.
Amount Due Centre County as Re-
ported to Borough Council.
A communication from the Centre
county commissioners was read at the
regular meeting of borough council,
on Monday evening, stating that Cen-
tre county’s portion of State-aid mon-
ey due from the State for highway
construction is $38,887.09, which
amount, when the funds are available,
can be applied to the extent of not
more than fifty per cent. of the actu-
al cost of constructing certain high-
ways in the county. The commission-
ers signified their willingness to co-
operate to the extent of their propor-
tionate share in the building of said
highways, and the matter was refer-
red to the Street committee and bor-
ough solicitor.
A communication was received from
John G. Love Esq., secretary of the
local board of health, stating that at
a meeting of the board held on July
18th the salary of the health officer
was fixed at $35 per month and that
of the secretary $25 per month. Here-
tofore the health officer received $10
per month and the secretary $75 per
year. The matter was referred to the
Sanitary committee and borough so-
licitor to ascertain the legal right of
the board to fix salaries.
A communication was received
from the G. F. Musser company noti-
fying council of the bad condition of
the first floor in the Phoenix mill
property. The matter was referred
to the Water committee.
A written statement was received
from the Water committee setting
forth in detail the condition of the
building at the old pumping station,
and advocating the erection of a new
building of such permanent construc-
tion as native gray limestone, with
steel trusses and slate roof. Other
members of council coincided in the
recommendation of the committee
that a new building should be erected
to take the place of the present di-
lapidated structure, and the matter
was referred to the Water committee
to secure plans and estimates for a
suitable pump house and report same
at their earliest convenience.
The Street committee reported the
receipt of $20 for sewer permits and
one dollar for cutting weeds.
The Water committee presented the
report of the borough manager which
included a check for $79.62 in full for
all 1921 water taxes.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that all streets should be lined
with white paint to show motorists
just where to park and how to park.
On streets that are wide enough the
lines should be at an angle of forty-
five degrees and on the narrower
streets the line should run parallel
with the curb. This opened up a gen-
eral discussion onthe parking situa-
tion, Mr. Cunningham stating that all
parking should be prohibited for at
least a space of fifty feet in front of
hotels. He also called attention to the
fact that several auto owners on south
Potter street.are using that thorough-
fare as a garage to the detriment of
regular traffic. The entire matter was
finally referred to the Fire and Police
committee.
Regarding the carting away of gar-
bage the Sanitary committee report-
ed only one inquiry. Mr. Brouse was
of the opinion that council should not
shoulder the burden of arranging for
garbage disposal, leaving the matter
up to the
The matter was left in the hands of
the Sanitary committee.
Mr. Cunningham stated that resi- :
dents of Halfmoon hill are complain-
ing because the old steps have been
torn away and no walk constructed to
connect with the concrete steps con-
structed by Haupt & Brown. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee with power.
Mr. Hazel again called attention to
the fact that property owners on Lo-
gan street have made no effort to re-
pair their bad pavements and a motion
was passed instructing the Street
committee and borough engineer to
go on the ground, condemn the pave-
ments and then serve legal notice on
property owners to repair or rebuild
same within ten days.
Regarding the offer of D. A. Bar-
let and Fred Herman to contribute fif-
| ty dollars each towards the extension
of the sewer to their properties on
east Curtin street, council decided to
accept the offer and authorized the
Street committee to put down the
sewer.
Complaint was made that a few
property owners on Curtin and Bea-
ver streets had failed to cut their
weeds and the matter was referred to
the Street committee.
At this juncture the disorderly con-
duct ordinance was read for the sec-
ond time, following which Mr. Fauble
stated that he wished to go on record
as opposed to the passage of the or-
dinance. He stated that he had gone
over it pretty thoroughly and was un-
able to find anything in it that is not
already covered either by State laws
or ordinance, the only difference be-
ing that the offense is called by a dif-
ferent name, and he was opposed to
calling a .thing disorderly conduct
when it isn’t. On motion of Mr. Cun-
ningham the ordinance was tabled for
the present. .
The Street committee reported that
two bids had been submitted for the
grading of Curtin and Wilson streets
but inasmuch as council is not dis-
posed to undertake the work this fall
the bids were not made public.
Mr. Cunningham called attention to
the fact that quite a number of water
consumers outside the borough limits
are owners of automobiles and should
be assessed $2.00 for garage purposes
in addition to their $12.00 annual
water rental. A motion was passed
|
individual and draymen. |
|
authorizing the Water committee to
make the assessment.
Bills to the amount of $1172.66
were approved for payment after
which council adjourned.

Public Service Commission, Here
Today.
The Public Service Commission will
hold a meeting in Bellefonte today to
take testimony on the application of
the Keystone Power corporation for
the right of eminent domain through
the properties of Sinie H. Hoy, of
Benner township, and Clement Dale,
of Houserville. The issue involved is
the right of the Keystone Power cor-
poration to construct their high power
transmission line over the farms of
the above two gentlemen. A recent
act of the Legislature gives public
utility corporations the right of em-
inent domain, subject, however, to the
approval of the Public Service Com-
mission.
Successful Girl Scout Camp.
The Bellefonte Girl Scouts return-
ed last week from a two week’s stay :
at Camp Philips, a regular Girl Scout
camp where they were under the lead-
ership of a capable director sent from
national headquarters. The girls had
a wonderful time, both in the water
and out, besides learning much and
passing tests toward their second
class badges. Elizabeth Baney fin-
ished work for hers. Marie Chandler
took eight tests, the largest number
taken by any girl at camp; Mabel
Poorman took six; Margaret Davis
and Mary Curtin 5; Sarah Bullock and
Lois Kurtz 4; Hilda Reed and Marga-

Mr. Francies Will Retain Farm in
Benner Township.
The Hon. John Francies, the late
superintendent of construction at the
Rockview penitentiary, came in from
Pittsburgh last Saturday to superins
tend the packing of his furniture and
personal belongings in the warden’s
residence at Rockview. The fact that
he has retired from his penitentiary

AUTO ACCIDENT PROVED FATAL
Toney Rodavich Died Sunday from
Injuries Sustained Satur-
day Evening.
Toney Rodavich, for many years a
faithful employee of the American
Lime and Stone company, was knock-
ed down and run over by a Ford car,
on Saturday evening, sustaining in-
juries which resulted in his death at
‘the Bellefonte hospital at 9:45 o’clock
on Sunday morning. The accident
happened about 7:45 o’clock on Satur-
day evening. Toney had just come
down street with a clock under his
arm that he had had repaired at
Frank Galbraith’s, stopped a few mo-
ments in Joe Thall’s store then walk-
ed down street to Willard’s and went
out between two cars to cross the
street. Unfortunately he stepped in
front of a car driven by Isaac Stine,
a young man of Coleville, was knock-
ed down and run over. The driver of
the car stopped within twenty feet
and jumping out ran back to the pros-
trate man but others had already
picked him up and he was carried to
the office of Dr. Dale, who, finding his
injuries quite serious, sent him to the
hospital. The man had several bad
cuts on the head, and injuries on his
left leg and back. It is quite possible
that his death was the result of con-
cussion of the brain.
Quite naturally many stories were
afloat in connection with the accident
and upon the advice of district at-
torney James C. Furst an inquest was
held on Monday before S. Kline
Woodring, acting coroner. The jury
empanelled consisted of C. L. Gates,
+ George T. Bush, John W. Smith, John
Justice, Charles Anderson and Mal-
colm Jones. Eight witnesses were
heard and the evidence of all of them
tended to show that Rodavich met
his injuries and consequent death
through his own contributory negli-
gence and through no fault of the
driver of the car, who was exonerat- !
ed of all blame. Two of the witness-
es testified that the young man was
not going over fifteen miles an hour,
and the only witness who actually
saw the accident stated that it was
entirely unavoidable.
Toney Rodavich was a son of Evan
and Helen Rodavich and was born in
Austria on December 3ist,
hence was 48 years, 7 months and 19
days old. He came to this country
twenty-four years ago, coming almost :
direct to Bellefonte, and ever since
had been in the employ of the Ameri-
can Lime and Stone Co.
had been engaged in loading lime at
the pike kilns.
Before coming to this country he
married Miss Barbara Kopic who sur-
vives with nine children, namely:
Mrs. John Cushing and Mrs. George
Colvic, both of Bellefonte; Frank,
Margaret, Catherine, Rose, Barbara,
Steve and ‘Clara, all at home. Fun-
eral services were held in the Catho-
lic church, of which he was a faithful
| member, at nine o’clock on Tuesday
{morning by Rev. Father Downes, |
: after which burial was made in the

Coast to Coast Air Mail Makes
Record Time.
The Postoffice Department is this
week making a trial of twenty-eight
hour air mail service between the At-
lantic and Pacific seacoasts. Ships
left New York and San Francisco at
eleven o'clock eastern time on Tues-
day morning on the first trip but un-
fortunately a terrific storm west of
Cheyenne held up the flyers long
enough to interfere with their time
schedule, but at that the ship from
the west reached New York at 4:14
o’clock on Wednesday, only twenty-
nine minutes late. 2
The first ship west bound was pi-
loted by C. Eugene Johnson who flew
from New York to Cleveland, stop-
ping at the Bellefonte field. His
scheduled time to reach here was
1:15 p. m,, but he was one min-
ute late in hopping off at Hazle-
hurst field and lost seven minutes in
flight, so that he did not reach here
until 1:23. During the nine minute
stop he made here forty gallons cf
gas were put into the tank, two gal-
lons of oil supplied and a leak in the
radiator repaired. It was just 1:32
when he hopped off for Cleveland.
So far as the test has proceeded
there is every reason to believe that
the twenty-eight hour mail can be es-
tablished as an accomplished fact.
The speed of the ships is not any
greater than in the regular air mail
schedule, the reduction in time being
made by night flying between Chica-
go and Cheyenne.
The east-bound plane yesterday
was three hours ahead of time reach-
ing Bellefonte, landing here at 10:19.
The pilot changed ships here, the car-
go of mail composed of nine pouches
was transferred and he hopped off at
10:21, the stop taking up but two
minutes. Every connection had been
made along the route and the cargo of
mail was that put aboard the plane
in San Francisco on Wednesday
morning.

Big Festival at Milesburg Tomorrow
Evening by Wetzler’s Band.

many Centre countians tomorrow
afternoon and evening when Wetzler’s
band will be the hosts at a baseball
game in the afternoon, various races

nights bragging about their good ball
players and are willing to pit them
against any team in the county. To-
morrow afternoon the two teams will
try their mettle against each other

tle worth seeing.

ilar event ever held in Milesburg.

has been engaged to furnish the mu-
sic and will keep everything lively
during the evening.
Last but not least, will be the giv-
ing away of a Ford touring car. This
in itself, should draw hundreds of
people to the festival as everybody
will be hoping to be the lucky indi-
vidual. ;

John’s Reformed church in this place and
left here in 1901. At present he is in semi-
retirement, but has charge of Faith Re-
formed church in Reading, where his work
is largely of a settlement character. He
was motoring through Central Pennsylva-
nia with Dr. Lee N. Erdman, pastor of St.
Thomas Reformed church, Reading, and
stopped in Bellefonte long enough to greet
those who knew and admired him so
much when he was making his start in
the ministry.
—Motoring visitors to Bellefonte during
the week included Mr. and Mrs. George
Myford, with their daughter, Miss Ruth,

the: Bellefonte Academy. The Myfords
have already had two sons in the Acade-
my and are so well pleased with the pro-

youngest boy to have his preparatory ed-
ucation here. Samuel graduated at the
Academy last June and from here the
family motored to Carlisle where he will
enter Dickinson law school.
