Borough Council Holds Last Meeting
This Year.
Six members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening, the last session for
this year, the absentees being Messrs.
Emerick and Hazel.
The secretary read a letter from the
State sanitary water board express-
ing appreciation of the fact that the
sewer had been laid in Spring creek
to preserve the trout.
A letter was received from John T.
Gephart suggesting that council con-
sider the purchase of three more bea-
con traffic lights, and president Walk-
er inquired as to what had become of
the five already purchased. The sec-
retary informed him that one of the
concrete bases for the lights had been
finished. :
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of
$319.76 on various accounts which
was turned over to the borough treas-
urer.
The Water committee reported a
number of new taps made and three
fire hydrants repaired. Also the col-
lection of $489.80 on the 1922 water
duplicate. Errors on the duplicate
amounted to $277.83 and with this
amount deducted the 1922 duplicate
has been cleared up.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the fire at the Gross block on
Spring street on December 8rd. Mr.
Cunningham called attention to the
fact that the borough fire department
is now in better shape than ever and
did as good work as paid department-
ments in many cities, and the only
criticism he had to make was that the
men who manned the hook and ladder
truck were a little over zealous and
got out ahead of the pumpers and
sometimes blocked their way in get-
ting close to the fire. Chief fire mar-
shall Robert Kline was present and
when asked as to the equipment of the
companies stated that the Undines
have 1480 feet of good hose and the
Logans 1500 feet, enough for any
emergency. The only suggestion he
had to make in regard to further
equipment was the need of smoke
masks. The matter was referred to
the Fire and Police committee and the
fire marshall to inquire as to the qual-
ity and price of masks and report at
next meeting. The fire marshall also
called attention to three very danger-
ous fire hazards in town which should
be abated. The matter was referred
to the Fire and Police committee.
The Finance committee reported
that the borough treasurer had ar-
ranged for the payment of $4,500 in
notes and also asked for the renewal
of notes aggregating $8,500.
Some weeks ago Mr. Cunningham
suggested the propriety of taxing cir-
cuses, traveling shows, motion picture
houses and theatres, and he again
brought up the subject, stating that
he had secured information from
Huntingdon, Lewistown and Tyrone,
and in each place amusement places
were subject to taxation for borough
purposes, and paid the same. A mo-
tion was passed referring the matter
to the Fire and Police committee to
consult with the borough solicitors re-
garding the preparation of an ordi-
nance.
* Report was made to council that
complaint had been made by a num-
ber of residents of Coleville over what
they considered exorbitant charges
being asked by the Coleville Water
company for tapping the water line.
The matter was referred to the Water
committee for investigation.
Bills were approved to the amount
of almost $4700 after which council
adjourned.

SIMPSON.—Captain William A.
Simpson, a well known resident of
Lock Haven and who had quite a num-
ber of friends in Bellefonte, passed
away quite suddenly at his home in
that place last Thursday night. A
heart attack caused his death in less
than an hour. He was about sixty-
five years old and was born in Lock
Haven, where his entire life was
spent. In his early life he was asso-
ciated with his father in the Moore &
Simpson State bank. For ten years
he was captain of old Company M, of
the Pennsylvania National Guard, and
during the world war he served over
seas with the Knights of Columbus.
His survivors include three sisters,
Mrs. George C. Strong and Miss Mary
C. Simpson, of Lock Haven, and Mrs.
W. M. Dravo, of Sewickley. Requiem
mass was celebrated in the Church of
the Immaculate Conception at Lock
Haven at 9 o’clock on Monday morn-
ing, after which the remains were
brought to Bellefonte for burial in the
Catholic cemetery.

CAMPBELL.—Mrs. Lydia Camp-
bell died at her home in Bellefonte
early on Wednesday morning, aged
eighty-four years. Her maiden name
was Miss Lydia Rice and most all her
life was spent in this vicinity. Sur-
viving her are the following children:
Bertha, at home; Mrs. Nora Hoffman,
of Tyrone; Mrs. Edward Morrison and

Orris Campbell, of Lodi, Ohio. She
also leaves one brother, Harper Rice,

——Jury commissioners John D.
Decker and Joseph Emerick started
work this week on filling the jury
wheel for the year 1925.
——Philip H. Benner, fireman in
the Altoona yards of the P. R. R., has
been retired and placed on the com-
pany’s “Roll of Honor.” He was in
the service for thirty-eight years and
eleven months. Mr. Benner was born
at Pennsylvania Furnace, this county.
——Some important changes are
being made on the second floor of the
Elk’s home, on High street. All the
partitions between the rooms on the
west side of the building have been re-
moved and the entire space will be
converted into a lodge room, which,
when completed, will do away with
the lodge room on the third floor and
also obviate the necessity of putting
up a fire escape on the outside of the
building.
———The father and son banquet of
the brotherhood of the Bellefonte
Methodist church was held in the Y.
M. C. A. gym last Friday night and
one hundred and two fathers and sons
sat down together for an evening that
was not only enjoyable, but inspiring.
The food, the music, the addresses and
the splendid facilities offered by the
Y for conveniently handling such af-
fairs all combined to make it a mem-
orable evening in the lives of those
who were there.
——A note from the venerable D.
W. Miller, of Pine Grove Mills, in-
forms us that he has been under his
physician's care for the past six weeks.
Of course we are very sorry to hear of
his indispesition, especially so since it
must have deprived him of his usual
hunting trip. For many, many years
D. W. has been one of the leaders in
various hunting camps and when he
couldn’t get into the woods there must
have been as great regret among his
companions as he felt himself.

——From Albany, N. Y., comes the
announcement of the marriage at Tif-
lis, Armenia Russia, of Miss Kathe-
rine Barnard Tucker, formerly of Al-
bany, but since the close of the world
war a nurse in the Near East, and
Lieut. Douglas Campbell Orbison, an
American aviator carrying supplies
and communications into the interior
of Armenia. Lieut. Orbison is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. “Hal” Orbison, na-
tives of Bellefonte, but who for years
have been engaged in missionary work
in India.
——As in other years the festival
of Christ’s birth will be ushered in at
St. John’s Episcopal church by the
beautiful midnight Mass, beginning at
11:46 p. m. Christmas eve. For cen-
turies no service in all the course of
the sacred year has been so beloved as
this offering of the “Christ-Mass”
(from which the day takes its name)
at the very beginning of the Holy
Birthday of our Redeemer. It pro-
vides an opportunity of worship be-
fore things intervene. The musical
program is published elsewhere in this
issue.

Deer Hunting Season for 1924 Closed
on Monday.
The deer hunting season for 1924
closed on Monday, and quite a number
of Bellefonters motored out to the
mountains in the hope of getting a
'last shot at a big buck, but all of
them came home empty-handed.
All the hunters agree that it was
the best season in many years; in fact
there were probably more deer killed
than in any year back in the good, old
days when there was no law regulat-
ing hunting and a man could go out
at their own convenience and hunt the
‘wary animal.
The exact number of bucks killed in
Centre county this year has not yet
been determined. When asked for an
estimate yesterday morning game pro-
tector Thomas A. Mosier stated that
up to this time he had received so few
official reports from the game war-
dens throughout the county that he
would not like to make even a guess
at the number. No reports have been
received from the Philipsburg and Al-
legheny mountain sections, the lower
end of Pennsvalley, Brush mountain
nor the Barrens. He admitted that
the season had been a good one and
the kill will probably equal if not ex-
ceed that of last year. The weather
could not have been more favorable if
it had been made to order for the
hunters, and this probably had a lot
to do with their success.
When asked as to the number of
deer killed illegally—does and bucks
with horns less than six inches long—
Mr. Mosier said he had record of
about twenty-four, though there may
have been a few more. Fifteen men
who figured in the killing of the ille-
gal deer paid their fine, which means
$1500 for the State Game Commission.
While the game protector had no da-
ta on the number of bear killed, from
! the various reports received during
the open season on bruin the total will
probably figure up to twenty-five or
thirty.
The season on every kind of game is
now closed with the exception of rac-
coon. It will be legal to kill them up
to January 31st. So far as the small
game season is concerned Mr. Mosier
has not yet received any definite re-
ports on the amount of game killed.
The big drop in numbers will be in
pheasants, as fewer of these birds
were bagged this year than ever be-
fore. Rabbits were not quite as plen-
tiful as usual, but there seemed to be
more squirrel and about the average
number of wild turkeys.
Motor Bus Company Granted Right to
Carry Excursionists.
The Public Service Commission on
| Monday granted permission to Alvin
{R. Bush and Thomas G. Galbraith,
i trading as the Philipsburg Motor Bus
company, to transport persons from
Philipsburg by automobile to various
points in the State. This is the first
certificate granted by the Commission
to interest promoting excursions in
Pennsylvania. A number of others
are pending before that body.
The approval is subject to several
regulations made by the Commission.
The operators are prevented from fur-
nishing a taxi service or operating on
call or demand. They are also pre-
vented from transporting persons
from Philipsburg to any place on the
way. The privilege of transporting
people between Philipsburg and Ty-
rone and from Philipsburg to Clear-
field is denied the operators; the num-
ber of persons to be carried on a trip
is limited to ten, and the certificate is
to expire June 1, 1926, unless renewed.
Dates Changed for the Green and
White Revue.
Because the ladies have determined
to make their Revue this year the
most pretentious and finished produc-
tion they have ever undertaken, the
dates for the “Green and White” num-
ber have been advanced to the nights
of January 14 and 15.
It had been scheduled for an earlier
date, but the ladies are so anxious to
have every little detail worked out
with professional smoothness that
they have determined to take ten days
more in its preparation.
Community Christmas Tree.
The community Christmas tree cel-
ebration will this year be held on Sun-
day evening, December 21st, at 8:45
o’clock, around the tree to be erected
in the Diamond. The Camp Fire girls
will have the celebration in charge
under the direction of the Kiwanis
club. Rev. M. DePui Maynard: will
conduct the services and the Odd Fel-
lows band will assist with the music
as in former years.
Christmas Entertainment,
St. John’s Lutheran Sunday school
will present its annual Christmas en-
tertainment tonight (Friday) at 8 p.
m,, in the form of a pageant and can-
tata, “The Gifts and the Givers.” The
play will be carried on principally by
the children although there are sever-
al adult characters. You are invited.

State College Woman’s Club Cele-
: brates Anniversary.
One of the most notable events in
club life during the past week was the
celebration of the thirtieth anniversa-
ry of the founding of the State Col-
lege Woman’s club.
The members of the executive boar:
were hostesses to the club on Tues-
day afternoon, December 16th, in the
University club building. An excel-
lent program was presented. A piano
duet was given by Mrs. Harry Bell
and Mrs. Charles Govier, the latter a
daughter of the first president of the
club. Mrs. W. L. Foster gave a his-
tory of the early days of the club.
Mrs. Frank Gardner offered a tribute
to Mrs. Atherton.
Mrs. Erwin W. Runkle gave a most
entertaining address on “High Lights
in Club Life.” Mrs. Edwin Erle
Sparks spoke in her usual charming
manner on the forming of the con-
stitution and the purposes and aims
of the club. Miss Mary Foster read
letters of greeting from two absent
charter members, Mrs. H. P. Armsby
and Mrs. Emma Butz. Corsage bou-
quets were presented by the president,
Mrs. Frank W. Haller, to the charter
members ‘present, Mrs. John W. Stu-
art, Mrs. W. L. Foster, Mrs. Edwin
Erle Sparks and Miss Mary Foster.
Mrs. F. L. Bentley spoke of the
work accomplished in the club by Mrs.
R. L. Sackett and regretted that ill-
ness prevented her from being pres-
ent. Mrs. Arthur S. Hurrell, first
vice president, read a letter of greet-
ing from Mrs. Helen P. Pond, and let-
ters and telegrams from these former
presidents: Mrs . Judson P. Welsh,
Miss Sara Lovejoy, Mrs. H. R. Col-
lings, Mrs. Charles G. Simpson and
Mrs. Hugo Diemer.
A violin solo was rendered by Dr.
Teresa Cohen, accompanied on the pi-
ano by Miss Margaretta Way. A la-
dies chorus, under the direction of
Mrs. Arthur Clostingh, of the music
department, closed the program with
two numbers. An informal tea and
reception followed in the drawing
room of the club, with eleven former
presidents in the receiving line.
Place Names of Pennsylvania.
After fourteen years of study on
the origin of the town, county and
other place names in Pennsylvania,
Professor A. H. Espenshade, former
registrar of The Pennsylvania State
College, has compiled a book of al-
most 400 pages on the subject.
The college has undertaken the pub-
lication of the book which is to be
printed in a limited edition. It will
be the only book of its kind ever pub-
lished. As a contribution to Pennsyl-
vania history it is declared by critics
to rank as a most valuable work, real-
ly unique in its character.
The founding and naming of coun-
ties and county-seats is treated in the
first of the three parts of the book.
The second part deals with the found-
ing and naming of about 140 cities
and towns with a population of at
least 5000. Village and township
names are explained fully in the third
part. Copies of the limited edition
are to be sold at a reasonable figure
and only through direct request to
Professor Espenshade, at State Col-
lege, Pa. The book contains mention
of prominent place names in every
Pennsylvania county.
Federal Court Frees Valotta.
In federal court, at Pittsburgh, on
Wednesday Judge Thompson granted
a discharge to Joseph Valotta, con-
victed of two murders at one trial and
by the same jury. The court ruled
that this was a violation of his con-
stitutional rights. Valotta is the man
who was brought to the death house,
from Pitsburgh, several months ago
for electrocution and was granted a
respite by the Governor five hours be-
fore he was to have been taken to the
chair. He was taken back to Pitts-
burgh several weeks ago for his hear-
ing in the federal court. The case
will likely be carried to the United
States Supreme court.
