Bellefonte, Pa., October 5, 1923.
NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— State College post No. 1074,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, was or-
ganized at State College on Monday
evening with thirty-three charter
members.
The Auxiliary of the Bellefonte
hospital takes this way of publicly
thanking the people of Pleasant Gap
for a donation of $77.00, the proceeds
of a card party.
The Bell Telephone company is
now at work on their new directory,
and October 15th will be the final date
for any and all changes and correc-
tions. See their advertisement on
page six of this issue of the “Watch-
man.”
The Democrats need make no
apologies for any man on their ticket,
as every one is worth the vote of any
man or woman. Take Forrest S. Ock-
er, for Register, no party ever pre-
sented a cleaner cut, more capable
candidate than he is. Consider this
when election day comes around.
Dr. Ezra H. Yocum, one of the
patriarchs in the Methodist church,
preached in the Bellefonte church last
Sunday and has been spending the
week among his many friends here,
having consented to preach both
morning and evening in the Presby-
terian church on Sunday. A large
congregation should be present to
hear him.
Horse races and auto racing
will feature the big Lycoming county
fair to be held at Hughesville next
week. Corey’s carnival will be an at-
traction on the Midway and the stock
and agricultural exhibit will be un-
usually large and fine. As this is the
last county fair of the seasosn in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania it will doubtless
draw a large crowd. See advertise-
ment in another column.
A man with a motion picture
machine was in Bellefonte the fore
part of the week and among the var-
ious pictures taken were several hun-
dred feet of the Academy football
team in practice and one hundred or
more feet of the big trout in Spring
creek jumping to raw meat. The
Academy film wiil doubtless be all
right but if he succeeded in getting a
good picture of the trout he is the
first man to do so.
Having resigned his job as me-
chanic in the Emerick Motor Bus com-
pany garage to engage in business for
himself in Reynoldsville, Harry
Charleson vacated the south side of
the Emerick house on Spring street
on Monday morning and with his wife
and household goods left for Rey-
noldsville. The same day Mr. and
Mrs. Merrill Hagan moved from the
rooms they have occupied in the
“Watchman” office building into the
house vacated by Mr. and Mrs.
Charleson.
The Bellefonte Academy football
team won their opening game, last
Saturday, from the Potts College
eleven, of Williamsport, by the score
of 58 to 0. The visitors were not only
too light but entirely outclassed by
the heavy Academy team. There is
no argument but that coach Carl G.
Snavely has a bunch of brawny men
and he has already shown ability in
training and placing his men to the
best advantage, and at this early day
it looks as if the team will be a win-
ner this year.
Lebanon Valley college was an
easy mark for coach Hugo Bezdek’s
State College football team last Sat-
urday, though the total score of 58 to
0 does not tell the story by any means.
Three distinct State teams were used
during the game else the score would
have been much larger. The State
team is being prepared this week for
their game with North Carolina, on
Beaver field tomorrow. The tar-heel-
ers are reported to be quite strong
and fairly well trained, but Bez’s Nit-
tany lions ought to win by a decisive
score.
Miss Bertha Haverstine, regis-
tered nurse, who has been night su-
pervisor of nurses at the Rahway,
(New Jersey) hospital the past five
months, has been promoted to general
supervisor of nurses, succeeding Miss
-R. Kitch, who resigned to go on a trip
‘to California. The promotion became
«effective October first, Miss May
Crystal, of Newark, succeeding Miss
Haverstine as night supervisor. Miss
Haverstine is well known in Belle-
fonte, having made her home with
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Clevenstine from
childhood until her graduation at the
Bellefonte High school in the class of
1919. She then entered the Chester
hospital training school for nurses
where she graduated with the class of
1922,
Announcement has been made
of the marriage last June of Miss
Mary Charlotte Parker, daughter of
Mrs. G. Ross Parker, of New Bruns-
wick, N. J., but formerly of Belle-
fonte, and Earl McCready, of Jersey
City. The young people kept their
wedding a secret until Sunday, Sep-
tember 23rd, when it was formally an-
nounced at a family dinner at the
Mrs. Parker home. The marriage was
the culmination of a romance begun
in Bellefonte while the bridegroom
was a student at the Bellefonte Acad-
emy. Mr. McCready is an only son,
his mother being a widow, who is an
artist by profession. Inasmuch as a
good part of her time is spent away
from home the young couple have al-
ready gone to housekeeping in her
apartments in Jersey City, where Mr.
McCready, who holds a good position
as a salesman, makes his headquar-
ters.
MANY WORKMEN LAID OFF.
American Lime & Stone Co. Reducing
Working Force but not Output.
Wages Also Reduced.
Sixty men were laid off by the
American Lime & Stone company last
Saturday and notice given that effect-
ive October 1st all wages would be
reduced approximately ten per cent.
Other men are being laid off this week
and the reduction in the working force
will continue until the services of one
hundred and fifty men have been dis-
pensed with. The lay-off is not a tem-
porary move but a permanent reduc-
tion.
Some time ago the Pike quarries
and kilns were closed, and later op-
erations ceased at the Green plant up
Buffalo Run valley. On Saturday plant
No. 26 was closed down and other
plants to be closed are Nos. 22 and
23 and the Keystone, as well as the
crusher at No. 25. The closing of
these plants will naturally reduce the
force of workmen about one hundred
and fifty, but contrary to the impres-
sion gained by the public it will not
curtail the output of either lime or
stone by the company.
The big plant on the meadow is now
in shape to turn out more crushed
stone, lime and hydrated lime, than
were produced at all the other plants
combined, and at a greatly decreased
cost. It is this fact which resulted in
the lay off of so many men, and the
reduction of wages has been made to
stabilize the cost of production.
R. Allen Hoy Badly Injured in Fall
from Apple Tree.
R. Allen Hoy, son of Henry N. Hoy,
of Benner township, fell from an ap-
ple tree in the orchard on his father’s
farm, last Wednesday afternoon, and
literally crushed all the bones in his
right ankle. He was brought to the
Bellefonte hospital but the physicians
in attendance there advised sending
him to a bone specialist and on Mon-
day he was taken to Philadelphia for
treatment.
The young man is twenty-five years
of age married and has one child.
Five years ago, after completing his
junior year at State College, he went
to Pittsburgh and entered the employ
of the Westinghouse company. Early
in September he relinquished his posi-
tion and returned to State College to
complete the work of his college
course. Last Wednesday he went to
his father’s home to assist him in
picking apples to make cider. He had
shaken the fruit from one tree and
gone up another. He was shaking a
limb some twelve feet from the
ground, a limb supposedly strong
enough to hold several men, but which
happened to be partially decayed,
when it suddenly broke and he fell to
the ground, alighting on his right
foot in such a way as to crush all the
ankle bones.
Western Union Office to be Moved to
Bush House Block.
The dismantling of the western
wing of the old Garman property, on
the corner of High and Spring streets,
to make a driveway into the new ga-
rage to be erected by the Decker
Bros., has left the Western Union tel-
egraph office literally “up in the air.”
In fact entrance to the office is now
from the Spring street side of the
property and back through the first
floor hallway. The location, of
course, is not at all advantageous, and
on Tuesday arrangements were com-
pleted and the lease signed for the re-
moval of the office to the old grill
room in the Bush house block, next
door to the Coffee Shop. Inasmuch as
it will take almost a month to make
the necessary changes in wires and
equipment, the move will not be made
before November first.
The corner room in the Bush house
in which the Coffee Shop was located
has been leased by Edward Zorn, who
has also purchased the equipment, and
in the near future will open up a light
refreshment parlor for the sale of
soft drinks, sandwiches, ete.
Centre County Highways
Widened and Improved.
State highway workmen are now
engaged in widening the state road
between Pleasant Gap. and Lemont,
especially through the grounds of the
western penitentiary where it is bare-
ly wide enough for two vehicles to
pass. The road will be widened to
twenty feet.
A force of men is also engaged in
widening the road over the Seven
mountains and reducing the grades
and sharp curves where possible. The
work is already well under way and a
good portion of it will likely be com-
pleted this fall.
It is also reported that the road
from Bellefonte through Buffalo Run
and Halfmoon valleys to Warriors-
mark is to be given attention this fall
and top-surfaced with a coat of tar-
via and crushed stone.

——The Centre county conference
of Women’s Clubs will be highly fa-
vored at its annual meeting in Phil-
ipsburg on October 27th, in that Mrs.
Olmstead, executive secretary of the
Women’s International League for
Peace and Freedom, will be the prin-
cipal speaker. A request is made of
the many good friends of the welfare
work, who own automobiles, to kindly
lend their service on the above date to
transport members to and from Phil-
ipsburg, and to please notify Mrs. R.
S. Brouse of their willingness to do
so. All who are interested in the ac-
tivities in which women are engaged,
whether members of organizations or
not, are invited to attend this meet-
ing.
——The Ford Motor company has
announced another reduction in price
of Ford cars and trucks. See adver-
tisement on page 2.
The big test train of empty
freight cars sent over the Lewisburg
division on Saturday night met with
an accident near Vicksburg when the
rails spread and the locomotive and
several cars left the track. The work
train from Williamsport replaced the
derailed locomotive and cars and re-
paired the damage and the long train
of eighty cars passed through Belle-
fonte on its way to Tyrone about two
o’clock on Sunday afternoon.
— After a hard day’s work an
evening’s entertainment is a good
thing to settle the nerves and the one
place in Bellefonte that is always
open is the Scenic. There you can re-
lax and watch the motion pictures as
they pass upon the screen and thor-
oughly enjoy yourself. Manager
Brown has already billed some of the
biggest and best pictures scheduled
for early release, so that Scenic pa-
trons can feel assured of seeing the
most wonderful productions of film-
dom.
——W. H. Macker, the pioneer jit-
ney man of Bellefonte, has made his
plans to spend the coming winter in
Florida where the climate is not as
cold as it is here. He will rent his
home for the winter and with Mrs.
Macker will leave early in November
for the Southland, traveling in his
car. He has a specially constructed
tent and. will camp along the way.
Just what part of Florida he will lo-
cate in has not yet been decided, but
he has his eyes on Miami, and if there
is a good opening there for jitney
service that is probably where he will
stop. He will not return until next
April.
Francis Thal is Climbing.
F. J. Thal, who has been in the em-
ploy of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company only a few years, was pro-
moted to the position of ticket clerk
at the Osceola Mills station last week.
It seems only yesterday that Fran-
cis was a boy helping in the baggage
room in this place. He was a.good
boy, however, and did his work so well
that he attracted the attention of his
employers and soon he was sent to
Osceola to take a man’s job. Evi-
dently he has been making good for
promotions on the Pennsy come only
i through merit.
! Francis is the adopted son of Mm.
"and Mrs. Joseph Thal, of Thomas
i street, this place, and his success is a
tribute to the good training he receiv-
ed at their hands in childhood.

: The ZR-1 Crosses Centre County.
In its western flight, on Monday,
the mammoth dirigible ZR-1 of the
United States navy crossed the west-
| ern portion of Centre county and was
| plainly discernible to residents of Fer-
euros and College townships, as well
| as people living in Halfmoon valley
,and at Philipsburg. The time of its
flight was shortly after one o’clock
and some one at Pine Grove Mills tel-
{ephoned the aviation field in Belle-
fonte and by climbing to the roof of
the big hangar the men were able to
get a glimpse of the big ship before
it passed from view in a northwester-
ly direction.
The ZR-1 is 690 feet long, 90 feet
high, 78 feet in diameter at one point,
weighs nearly 100,000 pounds, carries
2,150,000 feet of helium gas, which is
non-explosive, and has a crew of nine
officers and 22 enlisted men.
The big ship reached St. Louis ear-
ly Tuesday morning, landed outside
the city, took aboard a supply of oil
and gas, as well as provisions, took to
the air and returned east by way of
Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo, land-
ing at Lakehurst, Long Island, Wed-
nesday morning. On Tuesday even-
ing reports reached Bellefonte that
the big ship would be sent east over
the air mail route but at Cleveland it
was diverted via Buffalo. Had it
flown over Bellefonte the probability
is it would have passed over the town
Wednesday night, so that nobody
could have seen it, anyway.

What is Being Done in Public Health
Work.
After the summer vacation, the at-
tendance at the Red Cross well-baby
clinic, on Wednesday afternoons, is
gradually increasing. The second and
third Wednesdays in September there
were five babies, the fourth Wednes-
day there were eight, and Wednesday
of this week there were twelve. Dr.
LeRoy Locke, who has charge of the
clinic from three to three-thirty
o’clock, is arousing enthusiasm in the
mothers for better babies and there
has been marked improvement in the
condition of several babies brought
regularly to the clinic.
Since the 17th of September, the
Red Cross nurse has made house vis-
its to seventy of the seventy-eight
babies under her observation.
Up to date, there have been ninety-
six children of pre-school age given
the toxin antitoxin treatment in the
diphtheria prevention campaign con-
ducted by the State Department of
Health the past two months. Seven
new patients were given a first treat-
ment at this week’s clinic.
Miss Cora Mitchell, dental hygien-
ist, has cleaned the teeth of forty pu-
pils since she began her work ten
days ago. She is working in the Bish-
op street school building and will wel-
come any one who cares to see her at
work.
The dental hygienist is part of the
year's program of the tuberculosis
committee of the Woman’s elub.
Bellefonte Elks will Hold Hallow-een
Carnival as Hospital Benefit.
The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks will
i hold their annual Hallow-een carnival
| and harvest queen contest this year
as a benefit for the Bellefonte hospi-
tal, and this fact should appeal to the
general public in every section of
Centre county, and secure the co-op-
eration of hundreds who have here-
tofore never taken part in these an-
‘nual carnivals.
As in past years the selection of the
harvest queen will be made by popu-
lar vote, and the contest will open on
Monday, October 15th, and close on
the night of October 30th. Votes will
cost one cent each and can be pro-
cured from George Washington Rees,
who will have charge of this contest.
The young lady receiving the highest
number of votes will receive a hand-
some prize in addition to being crown-
ed queen of the carnival. The contest
is not limited to residents of Belle-
fonte but will be open to young ladies
in any part of the county. This will
be a splendid opportunity for the girls
of Milesburg, Pleasant Gap, Centre
Hall, Millheim, Snow Shoe, State Col-
lege, or any other place, to contest
their popularity with the girls of
Bellefonte.
The big Mummers parade will take
place on Wednesday evening, October
31st, at which time cash and mer-
chandise prizes aggregating $500.00
will be awarded for the best costumes
and floats. These prizes will be open
to all residents of Centre county. Not
less than four bands will be secured
for the big parade.
A charity ball will be held in the
armory the same evening, a well
known orchestra to be secured to fur-
nish the music.
The entire proceeds of the harvest
queen contest, the carnival and the
ball will be turned over to the Belle-
fonte hospital, and this fact should
appeal to residents in every section of
Centre county and enlist their aid in
making it a success.
Milesburg Baptists Open Their Purses
as Well as Hearts.
On Tuesday morning Mr. Frank L.
Wetzler, of Milesburg, delivered to the
treasurer of the Bellefonte hospital a
check for $100, being the proceeds of
a collection lifted in the Baptist Sun-
day school, last Sunday, for the bene-
fit of the hospital. When it is consid-
ered that sixty-five men, women and
children is considered a very good at-
tendance at the Sunday school it is
very evident that Milesburg Baptists
open their purses as well as their
i hearts and give accordingly.
Of course Milesburg people are so
used to giving that we were not at all
surprised at this last act of philan-
thropy. During the world war resi-
dents: of that town always exceeded
their quota on every Liberty bond
drive, as well as the drives for the Y.
M.C. A. and Salvation Army, so that
giving to any worthy cause is really
like sitting down to a good meal.
They seem to enjoy one about as much
as the other, and we know the hos-
pital authorities appreciate to tle ut-
most the generosity of the Milesburg
Baptists.
Help the Hospital.
The cast of principal characters for
“The Coming of Ruth,” which is to be

hospital, on the 15th and 16th of Oc-
tober, is now complete, embracing the

Ably assisted by a choir of 50 voices.
Teachers’ Institute October 22nd.
County superintendent David O. Et-
ters is rapidly completing prepara-
tions for the annual’ teachers’ insti-
tute, which will be held in the court
house, Bellefonte, October 22nd to
26th, inclusive. Inasmuch as the date
is only two weeks distant teachers
who expect to spend all the time in
Bellefonte are making their reserva-
tions for lodging. As no night enter-
tainments wil¥ be held, owing to the
prohibitive expense, many teachers
will motor to Bellefonte in the morn-
ing and return to their homes at the
close of the afternoon sessions.
Superintendent Etters has secured
as instructors for the week Dr. L. H.
Bealer, of Chicago, who made such a
good impression befecre the institute
last year; Dr. J. F. Marsh, of West
Virginia; Dr. J. Freeman Guy, of
Pittsburgh; Miss Zoe Thralls, of the
Indiana Normal; Dr. Lee L. Driver
and J. A. Foberg, of the State Depart-
ment of Public Instruction. The mu-
sic will be in charge of Mrs. M. R.
Krader.
——William Ott had a very narrow
escape from serious injury and possi-
ble death, on Saturday morning, while
at work as a carpenter at the Penn-
sylvania Match company plant. He
was helping to put up the frame work
of the new storage building being
erected when a brace slipped and fell,
striking him on the head. He was
rushed to the Bellefonte hospital
where it was found that he had sus-
tained quite a good sized gash on the
top of his head, but fortunately no
bone fracture.

—The venerable Isaac Miller, retired con-
tractor, hunter and commissioner, is over
at Walter Gherrity’s, in the Seven moun-
tains, rusticating for a couple of weeks.
The last time Mr. Miller visited Walter
was in July and the lightning struck the
house. At least that’s the story they tell,
but our opinion is that the Irish and
Dutch woodsmen got to crackin’ huntin’
yarns and one or the other one of them
pulled off one so big that they just
thought it was lightnin’ that hit the place.
—Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beeger are on

the Warner-American interests, was an ar-
rival in Bellefonte Wednesday and will re-
main until this morning. This was the
first visit of Mr. Warner since the remov-
al of the family to their former home in
Wilmington, Del. Of course it is to be
presumed that his visit was one purely of
business, but we have a suspicion that
pride was a contributing factor as well,
for a new son came into the Warner fam-
ily on Sunday morning. Both Mrs. War-
ner and the child are getting on splendid-
ly, a condition that will be gratifying
news to her many friends here. John
Warner is the second son in the family.
