Christmas Cheer to be Liberally Dis-
tributed in Bellefonte and
Vicinity. :
Any one strolling the streets of
Bellefonte and watching the hundreds
of shoppers, men, women and young
people, buying Christmas gifts for
friends probably never stop to think ]
about the unfortunate ones who are
denied that privilege; some who have
not the money for the actual needs of
life let alone the purchase of a few
extra things which makes of Christ-
mas a day of happiness and joy. Belle-
fonte, as a town, and the surrounding
community are perhaps more fortu-
nate in this respect than most places.
There are few cases, if any, of the
extremely needy, but there are var-
ious homes in which a little assistance
will make the sun shine on Christmas
day and swell with gladness the
hearts of children who otherwise
might have a dreary time of it. And
this is leading up to the fact that the
Bellefonte Lodge of Elks, with their
usual generosity, will again play San-
ta Claus this year. They have a fund
of about four hundred dollars which
will be used in the most advantageous
way possible to carry the glad tid-
ings into all the homes where aid is
needed. Various private individuals
have regular lists of names to whom
they give baskets of cheer the night
before Christmas; so that the spirit of
good fellowship flows fully and freely
and the only hope is that not’a single
‘deserving: case. may be overlooked.
‘The Christmas: spirit. will also per-
vade the walls of the western peni-
tentiary at Rockview. All work will
be suspended, and various groups of
inmates will take turns in doing kitch-
en duty and caring for the stock.
Three extra fine meals will be served
during the day, with especial empha-
sis on the dinner. In the evening
there will be wrestling and boxing
bouts between the inmates, with mu-_
sic and sufficient diversion to make
the day as Christmassy as possible.
The twelve inmates in the Centre
county jail will be served the same
kind of a dinner that is placed on the
sheriff’s table, which naturally will
include chicken and all the extras.
Community Christmas Tree Sunday
Evening.
Several years ago the Campfire
Girls inaugurated the custom of a
community Christmas tree in Belle-
fonte, and we are glad to report that
‘the tree will be in evidence on the
‘Diamond
again this year. Mr.
Charles Bilger has donated the tree
which, he avers, is one of the biggest
and best he has ever seen. It will be
erected and wired tomorrow and on
Sunday evening will be illuminated
with the hundred or more colored
ectric lights contributed by the
Elks. Cecil Walker and Willis E. Wi-
on will be in charge of the carol sing-
ing and the Campfire Girls invite
everybody to join in singing the old
Christmas songs. Santa Claus has
sent a message to the children that
the business men have given him an
enormous pack and he will be ready
for one thousand kiddies. The tree
will be lighted at nine o’clock on Sun-
day evening, after the church serv-
ices, and the Campfire Girls will be
present to look after the crowd.
Don’t Cut Your Christmas Tree With-
out Asking Owner.
There is a law in Pennsylvania
which makes it a misdemeanor for
any person to go on the land of anoth-
er and cut Christmas trees without
getting the consent of the owner.
The law provides a fine of $500 and
imprisonment not exceeding three
months. The purpose of the law is to
protect timber lands from ruthless
and indiscriminate cutting of trees.
Ordinarily, however, the average land
owner, if asked in the right way, will
grant permission to cut a tree. :
Christmas Hours at the Postoffice.
The city carriers will make the ear-
ly morning delivery and collection on
Christmas morning and all the win-
dows will be open from 11 to 11:30
o’clock in the morning at the Belle-
fonte postoffice to enable patrons to
get any belated Christmas mail. On
orders from the second assistant Post-
master General, however, no rural de-
liveries will be made on Christmas
day.
— The beautiful midnight Mass,
as on other years, will be held at St.
John’s Episcopal church on Monday,
Christmas Eve, beginning promptly
at 11:15 p. m., a quarter of an hour
before midnight. This service gives
an opportunity of worshipping at the
Manger of Bethlehem in a way sanc-
tified by the devout custom of many
centuries, and at a time before other
distractions of the day interfere.

Brief Meeting of Borough Council.
Just a quorum was present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening. There were no ver-
bal nor written communications pre-
sented for consideration.
The Street committee reported the
completion of the big sewer on Lamb
street along the school grounds. They
also reported the collection of $44.21.
The Water committee reported the
collection by the borough manager of
$500.00 on the 1922 water duplicate.
The Fire and Police committee rec-
ommended the purchase of 1000 feet of
new fire hose, and a motion was
passed authorizing the committee to
‘make the purchase.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes totalling $12,000,
which was authorized.
Inasmuch as Christmas comes next
Tuesday Mr. Cunningham made a mo-
tion that the secretary .e empowered
to pay the borough employees tomor-
row for their work this week, and the

ported that fire insurance on the bor-
ough dump truck will cost $1.19 per
hundred, and he was instructed to ob-
tain the rate on both fire and liabil-
ily.

approved for payment after which

Filipinos Genercus with Music.
The Philippine quartette, which
gave such a splendid concert in the
court house on Wednesday night of
last week, were extremely generous
with their music. While in Bellefonte
they went to the High school and
gave a half hours’ concert then went
to the Bellefonte Academy and play-
ed for an hour. An incident in con-
nection with their visit to the Acad-
emy might be of interest to friends
of that institution.
Shortly after the close of the Span-
ish-American war in 1898 Mr. James
R. Hughes read of the establishment
of an academy at Cavite, in the Phil-
ippines. He promptly decided it
would be a gracious act to present an
American flag to the budding educa-
tional institution and communicated
his desire to the War Department.
His offer was promptly accepted and
officials of the department agreed to
deliver the flag and make the presen-
tation in the name of the Bellefonte
Academy. And now twenty-five
years later a quartette of splendid
musicians from the Philippines hon-
ored his school with a free concert.
While the members of the quartette
are not residents of Cavite when in
their native country they know of the
academy to which Mr. Hughes sent
the flag.
