THE HOSPITAL DRIVE IS ON.
Kiwanis Enthusiasm in the Great
County Welfare Movement
Inspires All to Help
Put it Over.
At the regular weekly luncheon of
Kiwanis, on Tuesday, the enthusiastic
determination of the society to go the
limit in support of the drive for a
more efficient hospital for Centre
county was even more in evidence
than when the project was first taken
up a week ago.
The whole of the luncheon hour was
devoted ~ discussion of ways and
means with the result that a cam-
paign organization to cover every part
of the county served by the institu-
tion was effected.
Judge Henry C. Quigley is to be
Colonel of the army of workers. His
majors will be Rev. Wilson P. Ard,
Rev. Father William E. Downes, Rev.
Malcolm De Pui Maynard.
The captains are Charles R. Beatty,
of publicity; Robert F. Hunter, of
lists, and Rev. Wilson P. Ard, of
entertainment.
The divisions into which the county
will be divided, with the captain of
each is as follows:
Division A, Captain, John G. Love,
Unionville, Union, Huston, Taylor and
Worth Townships.
Division B, Captain, Harry A. Ross-
man: Milesburg borough, Boggs,
Curtin, Howard borough, Howard and
Liberty townships.
Division C, Captain, Samuel D. Get-
tig: Snow Shoe borough, Snow Shoe
and Burnside townships.
Division D, Captain, John B. Payne:
Benner, Walker and Marion town-
ships.
Division E, Captain, William J. Em-
erick: Bellefonte borough and Spring
township.
Division F, Captain, Frank H.
Crawford: Centre Hall, Potter and
Gregg townships.
Division G, Captain, W. Harrison
Walker: Milheim, Penn, Miles and
Haines townships.
The Captain for Division H to be
selected by State College. This Di-
vision includes: State College, Col-
lege, Harris, Ferguson, Patton and
Halfmoon townships.
$100,000 may seem to some like a
lot of money to raise. But is it, in a
great county like Centre? When we
remember that we raised $5,063,973
for the various Liberty loans, that we
gave $30,000 to Red Cross work, that
we gave $58,828 to the United War
Work campaign and have been send-
ing annually thousands of dollars to
Near East relief, who is there that
will say that Centre county can’t or
won’t give $100,000 for the care of
her own sick and suffering.
Here is the call to all of us to do
something for ourselves. Is it not
the fact that real charity begins at
home ?
$50,000 are needed to build a wing
that will house a real hospital kitch-
en, provide maternity and children’s
ward room and add several private
rooms. ;
$25,000 are needed to make changes
in the present structure that will add
wonderfully to the efficiency of opera-
tion, insure greater privacy for all
the patients and save thousands of
steps for the nurses who care for
them.
$12,000 are needed to pay accumu-
lated deficiencies and wipe out the
hospital’s bonded indebtedness.
$12,000 are needed to meet the de-
ficiencies in maintenance for two
years, that have resulted from the cut
in the appropriation from the State.
Every one of these needs are real
ones. Every one of them supplied
will mean just that much more in the
way of proper care of our own dis-
tress.
Kiwanis is heading the campaign.
Let us all follow their enthusiastic
leadership and when the week of April
4th to 14th rolls around we’ll be ready
to put Centre over the top again with
a whoop.
Just now the thing most desired is
a campaign slogan. A prize of $10
will be given by Judge Quigley to the
person who sends in the best one be-
fore 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. It
cannot be longer than four words and
should not include the name Belle-
fonte, for just as soon as it can legal-
ly be done the name of the institution
will be changed to Centre County
Hospital.

On Thursday afternoon of last
week Mr. James Hughes gave a most
entertaining and instructive talk to
the Senior class of the Bellefonte
High school. This was in connection
with the work of the problems of de-
mocracy class, and was an account of
Bellefonte—her history and indus-
tries from 1870. Mr. Hughes took
every phase of the life of the tow —
the first buildings, sports, social 1 fe,
and the schools of that period. The
history of . the Bellefonte Academy
and its progress from Mr. Hughes’
arrival here, at the age of three years,
was especially interesting. Altogeth-
er, his enthusiastic manner of pre-
senting the many anecdotes concern-
ing him and his friends and his inter-
est in his subject gave over an hour
of the keenest enjoyment to his list-
eners.

John B. Payne, of Bellefonte,
has been appointed chairman of the
soldiers’ training camps for Centre
county. The camp for this district is
held at Camp Meade, Maryland, in
August, and Centre county’s quota is

Three Arrested in Two Year Old
Dynamiting Case.
John Strabila, John Bodenchak and
John Bealy, all of Snow Shoe town-
ship, were arrested last Saturday as
suspects in a dynamiting case which
occurred in that region on March 14th,
1922, in which one man was killed
and the house occupied by himself
and two others literally blown to
atoms.
The affair occurred at the time of
considerable unrest among the miners
in the Snow Shoe region owing to a
prolonged strike. William Bukoski,
William Shikalla and Fred Rashdorf,
all of Winburne, had gone to work in
No. 26 mine of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company and occupied a small
house at Pancake, about a mile from
the mine. On the night of March
14th, 1922, their house was blown to
atoms and Bukoski was killed out-
right.
Centre county officers and state po-
lice worked on the case for weeks
without discovering a clue to the per-
petrators of the deed. About two
months ago detectives went to work
on the case and the result of their in-
vestigations was the arrest of the
three men above named last Saturday.
They were given a hearing before jus-
tice of the peace S. Kline Woodring
the same day who held them without
bail for court. The attorney for the
accused men promptly applied for a
habeas corpus hearing and the peti-
tion was granted, the date set being
Tuesday, March 25th.
Bellefonte Hardware Co.
Big Warehouse.
to Build
Following close upon the purchase
of the Ulsh & Bashoar mill property
by Frank M. Mayer, last week, an-
nouncement was made this week that
the Bellefonte Hardware company has
purchased the ground, formerly a por-
tion of the mill property, lying be-
tween the silk mill grounds and Lamb
street and will erect thereon a large
warehouse for their own use.
Plans, which have already been pre-
pared, provide for a two story build-
ing 30x100 feet in size. It will be
built of steel framework, wooden sup-
ports and completely covered with
steel sheathing and roofing so as to
make it practically fireproof. The
building will be so arranged that ad-
ditions in the shape of wings extend-
ing back to the creek can be built to
it as occasion demands. Work on the
foundation for the building has al-
ready been started and it is the pur-
pose of the company to have it rush-
ed to completion as fast as possible.
It will front on the railroad siding
which was built into the old Crider
lumber yard, which will give it the |
best of facilities for unloading.
In Honor of Capt. George M. Boal.
A St. Patrick’s birthday luncheon
was given at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. A. Boozer, in Centre Hall, in
honor of Capt. George M. Boal, who
celebrated the eighty-fifth anniver-
sary of his birth that day.
Covers were laid for twenty, the
color scheme being green and white
with a birthday cake gleaming with
candles gracing the centre of the
table.
The guest of honor, hale and hear-
ty, in possession of all his faculties
and enjoying a good time just as
much today as he did half a century
ago, was surrounded by a group of |
relatives and friends who made a very
merry party. They were Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph C. Boozer and children, of
Chicago; the Rev. and Mrs. J. Max
Kirkpatrick and son Jack, Mr. and
Mrs. L. R. Lingle, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Slack and son, Miss Verna
Rowe, Mr. and Mrs. J. William Brad-
ford, Mr. and Mrs. J. Shannon Boozer
and Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Boozer, all of

Methodist Conference Closes.
The annual sessions of the Central
Pennsylvania conference of the Meth-
odist Episcopal church closed in Wil-
liamsport, on Monday, with the an-
nouncement of the appointments by
Bishop McDowell. Rev. E. E. McKel-
vey was returned to Bellefonte for
another year, while the changes in
Centre county included the following:
Rev. H. F. Babcock was transferred
from State College to Lewisburg and
C. C. Cole was assigned to State as
assistant pastor. W. N. Kepler was
transferred from Pleasant Gap to
Morrisdale and C. W. Rishell assign-
ed to Pleasant Gap. H. H. Sherman
was assigned to the Pennsvalley
charge and George Knox to Port Ma-
tilda. Fred B. Norris®' was sent to

to Snow Shoe.
Evangelistic Services at Milesburg.
Beginning March 23rd, Rev. J. Mil-
ton Harris, of Allegany, N. Y., will
conduct a gospel campaign at the
Baptist church of Milesburg. Mr.
Harris has had many years’ exper-
ience as pastor, and also as an evan-
gelist, so he will ‘come well prepared
to give a helpful message. There
will be services every night at 7:30
o'clock. An invitation is extended to
all. Members of the other churches
are asked to co-operate.
——The auto show is over and
spring begins today but the evenings
are still cool and long enough to make
the Scenic an enjoyable place in which
to spend an hour or two. Motion pic-
ture lovers are always assured of see-
ing something new and interesting at
the Scenic. The programs include
the best pictures on the market, and
the only way to see all the good ones
is by being a regular patron. Get the

FATAL FIGHT OVER DOMINOES. i
Prisoner at Rockview Dead as Result
of Blow Inflicted by
Fellow Inmate.
A quarrel over a game of dominoes
precipitated a fight between two col-
ored prisoners at the Rockview. peni-
tentiary on the evening of March 8th,
which resulted in the death of one of
them and the holding of the other on
the serious charge of causing the
death of a fellow inmate. The men
in question were Floyd Mason, of Al-
legheny county, serving time for in-
voluntary manslaughter, and William
Muse, of Lawrence county, sent up
for breaking and entering with intent
to commit a felony. Both men were
housed in the prisoner’s block and on
Saturday evening, March 8th, they en-
gaged in a game of dominoes. About
9:30 o’clock a dispute arose over the
play and Mason struck Muse. Blows
were exchanged before the guards
could get to the two men to separate
them. ason in compliance with an
order from one of the guards turned
around to pick up his cap and coat
when Muse, who has only one arm,
struck him a terrific blow and he fell
to the floor, striking his head on the
concrete knocking him unconscious.
He was taken to the penitentiary
hospital where it was found that he
was suffering with brain concussion.
He lay unconscious several days then
recovered to that extent that he was
able to walk around but on Monday
morning he suddenly became worse,
sank into unconsciousness and died at
2:40 o’clock in the afternoon.
Owing to the nature of the man’s
death Dr. W. R. Heaton, coroner, of
Philipsburg, was summoned and held
an inquest on Tuesday afternoon, find-
ing that the man came to his death as
the result of brain concussion, caused
by being struck by a fellow prisoner.
Mason was twenty-four years old and
had about a year of his sentence to
serve. Muse, who struck the fatal
blow, is twenty-nine years old and his
time would have been up last Thurs-
day.
The only relative of the dead man
that could be found is a sister living
in Detroit, Mich., and as she was una-
ble to claim the body he was buried
in the penitentiary cemetery on Wed-
nesday, the inmates and officials con-
tributing to the fund to bear the ex-
penses of the funeral.
Muse will, of course, have to ans-
wer to the court of Centre county for
his part in the death of Mason, but it
is hardly likely he can be held for first
degree murder.
Two Country Homes Burned.
The comfortable home of E. I
Longwell, up Buffalo Run valley, was
burned to the ground between ten and
eleven o’clock on Saturday morning.
Mr. Longwell was in Bellefonte at the
time and the first knowledge he had of
the fire was when he saw the burning
building on his homeward trip. The
fire evidently originated from a spark
on the roof and the high wind which
was blowing at the time quickly fan-
ned the spark into flames that envel-
oped the entire building. Nearby
neighbors assisted members of the
family in carrying their personal ef-
fects and furniture from the house,
most of which were saved. Mr. Long-
well estimates his loss at about four
thousand dollars, on which he had
twelve hundred dollars insurance.
On Sunday morning the tenant
Pleasant Gap caught fire and burned
to the ground. The house was occu-
pied by Guy Wells; who, with the as-
sistance of others, managed to save
practically all of his furniture and
personal belongings. The Logan fire
company went out with their pumper
but the house was too far gone to
save. The fire companies were also
called for the Longwell fire on Satur-
day but did not go up because of no
available water supply.
Car Load of Easter Flowers Coming.
The second annual Easter flower
show and sale will be conducted by
the Y. W. C. A. girls this year and
they promise a very elaborate display.
The car will arrive in time for exhib-
it and selection before the Easter
rush. They intend soliciting orders
for Easter lillies, which will be se-
cured from the same firm as last year,
and which gave such entire satisfac-
tion.
The Y. W. C. A. girls are conduct-
ing this sale in an effort to clear off
the balance of their pledge to the sup-
port of the Y. M. C. A. made by them
two years ago. They will be assist-
ed by the members of the Hi-Y club
in their tremendous task of handling
a car load of flowers.
Those wishing choice flowers will
greatly assist the Y. W. girls by plac-
ing their orders early.
Celebrated Wedding Anniversaries.
The home of recorder Lloyd A. Sto-
ver, at Coleville, was the scene of a
happy family gathering, on Sunday,
in honor of their twenty-first wedding
anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Stover
were married in 1903 by Rev. Wilford
P. Shriner, of the Methodist church,
and they have nine children, Irene,
Madaline, Donald, Lloyd Jr., Ralph,
Grace, Jean, Pauline and Eunice, all
at home. Miss Madaline is her fath-
er’s deputy in the recorder’s office,
and is proving a very efficient official.
Last Friday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence Zeigler and Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Kline celebrated their wedding
anniversaries at the Potter-Hoy camp,
near Curtin. Quite a number of
friends were present as guests and
the occasion proved a most delightful
one for all.

Social Affairs.
Miss Louise Carpeneto was hostess
at a chicken and waffle supper given
at the tea room at Nittany, the even-
ing of St. Patricks day. Twenty cov-
ers were laid and the guests were tak-
en down and brought back in the bus.
Six of the young married men were
the originators of the St. Patrick’s
dance given in the Undine hose house,
Thursday night of last week.
The St. Patrick’s day dance at the
town hall Monday evening, was given
by the Senior class of the High school.
The class colors of green and white
being lavishly used in the decorations,
made it one of the most attractive
school affairs of the season.
A card party will be given by the
Legion auxiliary in their rooms in
the Centre County bank building on
Tuesday evening.
Mrs. John S. Walker will entertain
the board of the Pennsylvania League
of Women Voters of Centre county, at

business meeting.
Church Workers Honored.
Last Thursday the Ladies’ Aid so-
ciety of the United Brethren church,
of this place, gave a dinner in honor
of two of the earnest workers in their
church. It just happened that it was
the birthday anniversary of Mrs.
Bert Bathurst, who is president of the
Aid as well as of Mrs. Herbert F.
Miller, who is the vice president, so
the event had a double significance.
The guests were Rev. and Mrs. F.
B. Hackett, Mr. and Mrs. William
Shope and children, Jack, Sara and
David, Mrs. J. T. Bariett, Mrs. Aman-
da Waite, Mr. and Mrs. David Bath-
urst and daughter Mary Louise, Ken-
neth Miller and Walter Bathurst.
Many Merchants Will Not Observe
Thursday Half Holidays.
At a request of a member of the
Retail Merchants’ and Clerks’ associa-
tion the “Watchman” last week pub-
lished the statement that beginning
April first all the stores in Bellefonte
will observe the Thursday half holi-
day. This is only partially correct, as
quite a number of merchants refused
to enter into the agreement and will
not close their stores Thursday after-
noons.
