satisfactory.
A food sale will be conducted
at Spigelmyer’s store on Saturday of
this week, May 10th, beginning at 12
noon, by the mothers of the Boy
Scouts of Troop No. 1. Those who
have attended the cafeteria suppers
given by these scout mothers know
what delicious things will be offered
for sale. Purchasers should plan to
go to the sale early.
The Scenic has popularized the
motion picture show in Bellefonte be-
cause of the fact that manager T.
Clayton Brown exercises good judg-
ment in the selection of the films
shown. Only the best is deemed good
enough for the people of Bellefonte
and vicinity, and every picture is new
and up-to-date. The Scenic is the one
place in Bellefonte where entertain-
ment can be had every evening in the
week.
—The first bill car for the Wal-
ter L. Main show, which will exhibit
in Bellefonte on Monday, May 19th,
was in Bellefonte on Monday and
Belefonte and Centre county has been
plastered with the gaily colored bills
announcing the varied attractions of
this old time circus. Years ago the
small boys would promptly begin to
hoard their pennies against the big
day, but now they tackle dad for show
money.
William Summers, aged 72, of
Unionville, is in the Bellefonte hos-
pital, suffering from injuries sustain-
ed by being hit by a motor driven by
Leonard Bryan, of Curtin, on Sunday
evening. Mr. Summers apparently
did not see the car approaching as he
stepped right in front of it too late
for Bryan to steer away from him or
stop. Bryan brought him to the hos-
pital at once where it was found that
no bones are broken, but he is suffer-
ing from injury to his back.
What might have proven a very
serious accident, on Tuesday evening,
resulted in no worse damage than a
good shaking up of four passengers
in a Ford and the wreck of the ma-
chine. The accident happened at the
turn near Woomer’s house, just south
of Axe Mann. A bus had stopped to
discharge passengers when a Mr.
Zeigler, of J acksonville, going toward
Pleasant Gap, ran around it. Then
two cars, coming this way, rounded
the corner and as there was little
room for them hoth were forced up
onto the hill to avoid collision. The
first car, a runabout, had a fender
torn off, but the second upset and was
badly wrecked. None of its four oc-
cupants were hurt, however. The
Hendershot boys were two of the four.
Russell Smith has taken over
the western Pennsylvania agency for
the Reading steam pretzels which he
will conduct in connection with his ice
cream and soft drink establishment in
Petrikin hall. The Reading company
will deliver the pretzels to Mr. Smith
in Bellefonte and he will make the
distribution by motor truck through
his territory, which includes all of the
State west of Bellefonte. His brother
Clyde will be in charge of the delivery
truck that started this week on its
first trip to Erie, taking in all the
towns and cities en route. Eventual-
ly Mr. Smith anticipates putting into
service the big yellow truck of the
Reading company which has been used
in making weekly deliveries to Belle-
fonte.
OUTBREAK OF TYPHOID FEVER.
Ten Cases from Coleville and Vicinity
Now in Hospital, with Five
Suspects.
During the past week Coleville and
vicinity, especially Collins’ Row, has
experienced one of the worst out-
breaks of typhoid fever that has prob-
ably ever occurred in Centre county.
At this writing, Wednesday afternoon,
there are ten patients in the Belle-
fonte hospital and five suspects at
their homes.
The cases at the hospital are Helen
Wolfe, twenty year old daughter of
Pletcher Wolfe, of Coleville; Mrs.
Helen Gettig and two children, Dean
and Grace, aged 11 and 8 years, of
Collins’ Row; three children of Mr.
and Mrs. John Leathers, Pearl, aged
17 years, whose condition has been
extremely critical; Maxine and Mar-
tha, aged 6 and 2% years; Peter Evoch,
six year old son of John Evoch, all of
Collins’ Row, and two Davis children.
The five suspects at home are being
kept under constant observation and
treatment with a hope of preventing
a full development of the disease.
The first definite knowledge of the
outbreak of the fever was on Sunday
when two cases developed. Dr. J. L.
Seibert, Centre county representative
of the Stztc Board of Health, was
promptly notified and lost no time
hunting the source of infection. This
was traced to two springs, one along
the railroad near the upper end of
Coleville, the waters of which were
likely contaminated by a recent over-
flow of Buffalo Run, and a spring over
against the side of the hill above Col-
lins’ Row that was likely contaminat-
ed from surface water. From this
latter spring a pipe carried the water
into a cemented reservoir, from which
another pipe carried the water to all
the residents in Collins’ Row. As
soon as the source of infection was
traced to this spring the reservoir was
blown up with dynamite and all the
pipes disconnected. Samples of the
water from both springs were sent to
the State Board of Health's chemist
for analysis.
By Tuesday six more cases devel-
oped, all patients being taken to the
hospital, and two more on Wednes-
day. They have all been isolated in
the wards on the fourth floor where
every possible care and attention can
be given them.
The fact will be recalled that some
years ago several cases of typhoid de-
veloped out in that section and the in-
fection was traced to the same spring
that has caused the trouble now. On-
ly recently a pipe line was laid to
Coleville from the Bellefonte borough
water system but it has not vet been
put in service in all the homes in
Coleville. Residents of that section,
however, have been asked to use the
Bellefonte water, if possible, and
those who cannot obtain access to it
have been cautioned to boil all other
water before using.
Dr. Seibert considers the situation
now well in hand and does not believe
the epidemic will spread beyond the
control of the local physicians and
authorities.
P. O. S. of A. Grows in Centre County.
During several weeks past hundreds
of 100 per cent. Americans have been
added to the P. O. S. of A. ranks in
the towns of Bellefonte, Milesburg,
Pleasant Gap, Centre Hall and
Aaronsburg. The general organiza-
tion work is directed by J. W. Yiesley.
Most of the work in the above towns
has been done by O. P. Watters, a
man noted for his energy, loyalty,
business ability, and good-natured
wit.
Principally through Mr. Watters’
work Bellefonte has increased 240,
Milesburg 50, Centre Hall 80, Pleas-
ant Gap 65, Aaronsburg 25. For the
next two weeks he will work in the
Woodward, Aaronsburg, Millheim and
Coburn territory, after which he will
roll up another big addition to Cen-
tre Hall’s number. Work in Penns
valley is done under the direction of
the district president and the camps
he is working for.
A little later a big class initiation
will be staged in the armory in Belle-
fonte, when hundreds of new mem-
bers will be given an opportunity of
witnessing the degree work being done
by a high class degree team from Al-
toona.

Governor Pinchot Interested in Belle-
fonte’s Big Trout.
A communication came to the bor-
ough council from the State Board of
Health last week calling attention to
the fact that Governor Pinchot had
suggested that something ought to be
done to keep the waters of Spring
creek as clear of sewage as possible
from the falls down to the bridge in
order to preserve the big trout there-
in which have become such an attrac-
tion for every stranger visiting Belle-
fonte, and the Board of Health sug-
gested the laying of sealed sewer
pipe along the east side of the creek
to convey the sewage that empties
from the sewer just below the falls
down to a point beneath the bridge
where it can be discharged into the
stream.
The question was to have been
brought up at the regular meeting of
council on Monday evening but no
quorum being present no formal ac-
tion could be taken. It is understood,
however, that the committee wihch
would have the installation of such a
pipe in charge is in favor of acceding
to the request, and it is quite proba-
ble that in due time the big trout will
be afforded the desired protection.
FIVE NURSES GRADUATED FROM THE BELLEFONTE HOS-
PITAL TRAINING SCHOOL.
Complete Report on Hospital
Drive up to Noon on Tues-
day Shows Limit Almost Reached.
The annual commencement exer-
cises of the Bellefonte Hospitals’ |
training school for nurses was held
in the court house Tuesday evening. |
It was a very fitting and dignified
conclusion of the three years of de-
voted attention to their training that
the five young graduates had given.
The auditorium was comfortably
filled with friends of the class and
others interested in the institution
when Hill’s orchestra started the pro-
cessional, which was the signal for
the Board of Trustees and the ladies
of the Auxiliary to enter from the
lobby at the rear. From the front
followed the medical and surgical |
staff, the Superintendent Miss Eck-'
ert, her assistant, Miss Hartman, and
night supervisor of nurses, Miss
Neese. Then came the graduates:
Beatrice Christine Kreamer, of Cen-
tre Hall; Naomi Marguerite Krape, of
Coburn; Emma Marie Ingram, of Al-
toona; Nan Sloane Hamilton, of Ty-
rone, and Ada Grace Neese, of Mill-
heim. They were followed by such of
the nurses in training who could be
relieved from duty at the hospital and
a number of members of the Alumni
Association of the Training School.
After the invocation by Rev. Mal-
colm DePui Maynard Mrs. Alberta
Krader, soprano, and Miss Rachel
Shuey, contralto, sang a yodeling du-
et with zither accompaniment. The
president of the hospital board, Geo.
R. Meek, after making a report of the
results of the $100,000 drive as com-
piled to May 6th, introduced the Rev.
Malcolm DePui Maynard, who made
the address to the graduating class.
Only a reprint of the entire scheme
of inspiring thought that the young
rector expressed could give you ade-
quate conception of its beautiful trib-
ute to woman’s service to humanity
or its inspirational urge to the young
nurses to whom it was addressed. If
the class of 1924 doesn’t carry through
with its motto of “Loyalty” to its al-

ma mater, each other and humanity,
as Rev. Maynard predicted it would
do and if it doesn’t radiate in the sick
room the depth of beauty in and fra-
grance of its flower “the violet” then
we have failed utterly in our estimate
of the five young women who were
given their certificates of proficiency
Tuesday evening.
Following the address of Rev. May-
nard Miss Magdaline Sunday played
a violin solo and then the charge was
delivered and the diplomas and badg-
es presented to the graduates and the
exercises were concluded with a pub-
lic reception to the class.
It was unusual, but practically all
of the audience went forward to con-
gratulate the splendid class of young
nurses on the completion of their
training.
Each one of the graduates was pre-
sented with ten dollars by the Wom-
an’s Auxiliary of the hospital and as
evidence of their generous spirit all
promptly signified their intention of
giving the money to the hospital drive,
which will be a contribution of $50
from the class of graduates.
Following the impromptu reception
tendered the young nurses at the court
house they were entertained at the
nurses’ home with light refreshments,
the guests being members of the fam-
ilies of the young graduates.
It will be of interest to the people
of Centre county and those who are
now living far from the confines of
the old home environments to know
that on Tuesday the tabulation of
pledge cards for the $100,000 drive
revealed that $91,494.87 has been as-
sured. The report by the president
showed that Kiwanis, to whom all of
the credit must be given for this su-
per-accomplishment, has practically
done more than it set out to do. In
detail the results of its work have
been as follows:

Thirty Purchasers Have Bought 57
Lots on Halfmoon Terrace.
Haupt and Brown’s real estate offer-
ing on Halfmoon Terrace, last Satur-
day, resulted in the sale of twenty-one
lots, and quite a number of the pur-
chasers have indicated their intention
to build houses thereon in the near fu-
ture.
Halfmoon Terrace, heretofore
known as “Halfmoon Hill,” was pur-
chased from the late Thomas A. Shoe-
maker by G. Edward Haupt and T.
Clayton Brown some years ago with
an eye to the fact that some day it
would make a very desirable spot for
an addition to Bellefonte. A good
portion of the Terrace is within the
borough limits and it is the only re-
ally desirable ground open for build-
ing purposes. No particular effort
was made upon the part of the own-
ers to sell lots until within the past
year. Just about a year ago several
people purchased lots and built homes
and when it became evident that there
was a demand for home sites Haupt
and Brown had the hill surveyed and
plotted with streets and alleys. The
result developed the fact that they
had in the neighborhood of two hun-
dred and fifty most desirable lots for
sale, all of good size and admirably
located.
Quite a number of people purchased
lots at private sale so that up to this
time just fifty-seven lots have been
sold to thirty purchasers, which in-
cludes Saturday’s sale. The purchas-
ers so far and the street on which
their lot or lots are located are as fol-
lows:
On west Lamb street—L. Frank
Mayes 4 lots; E. R. Armstrong 4,
John Hess and C. W. Korman one
each, and Lyons & Witmer 8.
On Brown Avenue—Alice Dawson 1.
On Railroad street—Lloyd Stover 1,
John Plozner 3.
On Haupt Avenue—Dr. M. A. Kirk
2, Earl C. Musser 2, E. R. Armstrong,
Fred Walker, Samuel Irvin and Wil-
liam Shaeffer one each.
On Shoemaker Avenue—Jacob T.
Barlett 2, Franklin Kern and J. D.
Seibert one each.
On Halfmoon street—Mrs. Clara
Toner 1, George Smith 1, Steve Knop-
ik 2, Joe Kane 1, Catherine Kane 1,
George Cunningham 1, William Cun-
ningham 2, Ambrose Smead 1, George
Sager 2, Elmer Sager 1, John Lucas

Mr. Boscanio 1.
DE —
The Choral Society Scores Another
Triumph.
S—
The Bellefonte Choral society, un-
der the direction of Mrs. R. Russell
Blair, gave its annual concert in
Moose Temple theatre last Thursday
evening to a large and most appreci-
ative audience.
The Choral singing showed plainly
the result of the year’s training that
it has had since its last public appear-
ance. It seemed better balanced, the
shading was much more effective and
the control more responsive to direc-
tion. We are of the opinion that it
reached its greatest artistic achieve-
ment of the evening in the rendition
of the “Irish Folk Song” by Foote.
The number was not so melodious as
Cowan’s “Boat Song” but far more
difficult of interpretation. ?
The solo interpolations were by
Miss Emma Kiess, soprano, of Wil-
liamsport; Mrs. Wagner, soprano, of
State College, and Miss Isabel Tubbs,
harpist, of Buffalo. Miss Kiess sang
with confidence and her voice, so true
and sweet, won repeated encores.
Massenet’s “Elegy,” with violin obli-
gato by Mrs. Schad, was especially
well rendered.
The harp solos of Miss Tubbs were
exquisite. Her technique seemed per-
fect and was best expressed in Hassel-
man’s “Ballade” a composition so del-
icately artistic that only a master
hand using the singing qualities of the
harp can properly interpret.
We understand that the net pro-
ceeds of the concert were approxi-
mately $200.

Now for the Academy Minstrels.
Emel,
Don’t forget to make your plans to
attend the Academy minstrels in the
Moose Temple theatre, Bellefonte, on
Thursday and Friday evenings, May
22nd and 28rd. The annual minstrel
dance will occur Friday evening, May
23rd, in the armory, from 11 to 3. The
famous Challis Collegians orchestra
will furnish the music. Price per
couple $3.00.
In addition to the jokes, ballads and
end songs always on the Academy’s
successful minstrel program, the car-
nival of dance in the second part
will be a marked attraction this year.
Dancing in all its varied attractive
and amusing variety will be given as
never given on a Bellefonte stage be-
fore by real artists.
The central figure of this carni-
val will be the little six year old fancy
dancer of Pittsburgh, Huberta May
Bernhardt. She will appear in three
very cute and pleasing numbers. This
feature alone will be worth the price
of admission. Other interesting
stunts will complete one of the best
minstrel programs ever offered by the
Academy lads, and that is saying a
great deal. Great surprises are in
store. Our lovers of music and fun
and cleverness in dance, and with mu-
sical instruments always look forward
to the Academy minstrels with de-
lightful anticipations.
Remember, the proceeds will be de-
voted partly to the hospital and part-

Fatal Shooting Affair.
Last Saturday William Steffey,
twenty year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Bert Steffey, of Punxsutawney, was
driving an oil truck on the outskirts
of that town when he passed two boys,
one of whom had a revolver. One of
the boys dared the other to shoot a
hole in the oil tank just to see the
oil run out and the boy took the dare.
But instead of hitting the tank the
bullet struck young Steffey in the left
side, severing an artery near the
heart, and he died before help could be
obtained.
The young man was a grand-son of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Young, of Belle-
fonte, and relatives here who went to
Punxsutawney for the funeral on
Wednesday, included his grandmother,
Mrs. Henry Young, and the following
uncles and aunts: Mr. and Mrs.
Christ Young, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Young, John, Calvin, Homer and
Cameron Young.
