Y’S CRACKS AND OTHER-Y’S
BELLEFONTE Y. M. C. A.
Testimonial.
Dear Mr. Roth:
Your bowling treatments at the Y,--
are making hubby-dear-- so spry!
Gratefully yours,
Mrs. Bellefonte.
“Dad Roth has been entertaining
fast company down in his alleys.
Doesn’t that sound awful? But really
you can’t blame him; He keeps those
alleys slicker’'n grease--and when a
fellow’s a good sport to boot,--his
place is bound to be popular. Titan and
Potter--Hoy crashed there Tuesday
10, and Titan’s Thompson went plumb
crazy the first game: Imagine,--scor-
ing 224 in a League contest; yez-zer,--
he hung up a new high score. And
hark yeez;--Titan’s team score--738 in
that game, is the highest to date!
Kline’s 203 for Potter--Hoy was some
bowling,--But aw--what was the use!
Potter--Hoy took the second by 80
pins then both gangs knuckled down.
Nip and tuck, till the game was up to
captain Williams of Potter--Hoy, one
ball to roll yet with Titan leading 13
pins. Oh gawsh! :
So up came mighty Williams and confi-
dently grins
As he sights a massive bowling ball at
the waiting pins.
A swing,--a rumble and a crash! then a
yell of joy :--
JOHN P. HARRIS.
HARRIS.—In the passing away of
John P. Harris, at the apartment of
his daughter, Mrs. Emily Warfield, in
Petrikin hall, at five o’clock on Sunday
‘evening Bellefonte loses its oldest and
one of its best known citizens; a man
{ who for almost three quarters of a
| century was vitally connected with
.the financial and business activities
| of the town. His passing was not the
result of any particular ailment but
merely the inevitable phase of the
: wearing out of a once strong con-
stitution. For more than a month he
had been confined to bed and though
his span of life narrowed very per-
' ceptibly with each passing day he was
| conscious almost to the last.
John Petrikin Harris was a son of
Samuel and Nancy Petrikin Harris
and was born in the stone house on
‘ east Howard street, now occupied hy
{ Mr. and Mrs. Ebon Bower, on August
5th, 1832, hence had reached the re-
markable age of 92 years, 6 months
and ten days. He was educated at
the Bellefonte Academy, among his
first teachers being Rev. James Linn,
| who served as pastor of the Presby-
| terian church and taught at the Acad-
| emy, and Prof. John Livingstone.
Those were the days before college
| educations ~~ became the universal
| standard, and shortly after complet-
'ing his course at the Academy Mr.
Harris secured a position as clerk in
"the bank of Humes, McAllister, Hale
.& Co. This was in 1856, and less
than two years later he was made
cashier, a remarkable tribute of abil-
ity and trustworthiness for a man of
his age and experience. But the fu-
i Dr. Edward Harris, of Snow Shoe.
One son, A. Scott Harris, died at his
home in Pittsburgh less than two
months ago.
Funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian chapel at 2:30 o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon by Rev. W. C.
Thompson, after which the remains
were laid to rest in the Union ceme-
tery. Out of respect to his memory
the Bellefonte banks were closed dur-
ing the funeral.
The following bankers of this sec-
tion were the honorary pall bearers:
John E. Fryberger, Philipsburg; F. K.
Lukenbach and John D. Meyer, Ty-
rone; Chas. M. McCurdy and N. E.
Robb, Bellefonte, and S. Ward Gram-
ley, of Millheim.
The Masonic Legion of Honor was
composed of W. I. Fleming, George T.
Bush, Dr. 8S. M. Nissley, William B.
Rankin, Dr. Barlett and Harry Kel-
‘ler, Esq.

| OWEN.—Miss Sarah Owen passed
away at her home on east Howard
street at 6.30 o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing as the result of an attack of pneu-
monia, which developed after a long
illness with general debility.
She was a daughter of Robert and
Betty Margaret Owen and was born
at Conewango, New York, on August,
31st, 1836, making her age 88 years,
5 months and 15 days. When a girl
the family came to Centre county
and located in Philipsburg where she
lived until 1883, when she and her
sister Mary came over to keep house
for their brother Albert, who lived on
the Orvis farm in Spring township.
Two years later Mr. Owen married
and the two sisters came to Bellefonte
and took up their residence on east
Howard street and that had been her
home ever since. Her sister died
thirteen years ago and her death now
is the passing away of a family of
thirteen children.
Miss Owen went through life handi-
capped with imperfect eyesight and
for a number of years had been total-
ly blind. She was a daughter of a
! soldier of the war of 1812, and a few
! years ago, through the influence of
| friends, Congress passed a special
Act granting her a pension for life.
| Although not a member of the organ-
ization of the Daughters of 1812
. members of the Philadelphia Chapter
have shown great kindness and con-
sideration in remembering her in
| various ways. During the past nine
(years she had been carefully taken
! care of by her companion and friend
“Strike!” and cappy Williams cinched the . ture proved that the judgment of the ! Mrs. Charlotte Reed. Her only sur-
game--for Potter--Hoy.
Yep,-- just by 11 pins.
Good-fellowship is a Y’s attribute.
Kutz held his first gym class Wed-
nesday 11th.’ He put ten youngsters
through a course of sprouts-- and it
was a hum-dinger! Running, skipping,
body lifting, basket-ball and sich. If
you want to feel young again, slip
down sometime and take a squint at
Kutz and the kids. Remember--there
were 10 the first day.
“The straight and narrow path--"
was never intended to mean a rut.
Thursday 12th at 4:30 P. M., Miss
Ash took on as fine a looking bunch
of girls as is anywhere. Did they
romp over that gym floor? Honest--
they hardly stood still long enough
to count ’em! And a right good time
was had by all. Then the Legion
and Titan,--and the Clerks and Syca-
mores--came down to the alleys in the
evening. Say,--that Legion ought to
be ashamed of hisself:--Never let
Titan have one! But what can you
expget with Legion’s Detrich bowling
--bowling 198--192 and 183. The Syca-
mores, mean things! collected 2 out of
3 from the Clerks;--Murtoff being
the large cheese with a score of 193.
Get that Y's outlook and-broad-
mindedness;--For of such is true
charity.
Friday 13th was Jinx day for
American Lime; they dropped three
perfectly good games to them Syca-
mores. Ain’t it awful how close you
can lose? The Sycies copped that last
game by one measly pin:--584 to 583.
Some bowling! Highway’s team was |
on for practice. Watch those birds;
they're getting in trim to trim some-
body.
Janitor Billy Cox found a nice
frame and made a bulletin for the
main room; thoughtful chap,--Billy is.
So if you have anything to broadcast
or bullet--bring it in: Billy’ll bullet it
right on the bullttin board.
To win fairly is commendable; To
lose gamely--is just as commendable.
A Y’s slogan is--“Squareness First.”
Saturday 14th A. M. Kutz has his
gym gang again. Eighteen! Get that?
Eight more’n first time. Kutz knows
how to make things hum; He had ’em
doing stunts on most every contrap-
tion in the place. Do the boys fall
for Klean-Kut-Kutz? Ask em!
Your boy today,—but the future
citizen. What will he be:--A roll-
ing stone, a moss-back, or a help to
the community? Y’s influence, means
much.
——One of the first advertisements
read in the “Watchman” is the Scen-
ic’s week-ahead program. Regular
patrons of that popular motion picture
house are always anxious to see if
their favorite screen stars will appear
in the big programs offered every
evening during the week except Sun-
day. The Scenic is the one place in
Bellefonte that offers high-class en-
tertainment every evening, and unless
you are a regular you miss some of
the best pictures.
| board of directors of the bank had
"not been misplaced, as Mr. Harris
early manifested unusual talent as a
financier and a very dependable man
'to have in charge the bank’s busi-
ness and resources.
| When the old banking firm was
merged into the First National
_bank of Bellefonte it was only natural
that Mr. Harris should be retained
in his position as cashier and for a
period of forty-two years he served
that one institution faithfully and
well. Following the death of the late
George W. Jackson, or early in 1898,
i Mr. Harris was prevailed upon to be-
"come the cashier of the banking
firm of Jackson, Crider & Hastings,
the vacancy caused by his resignation
: as cashier of the First National being
! filled by the election of Charles M.
| McCurdy. Six years after Mr. Harris
i went to the Jackson, Crider & Hast-
ings bank it was reorganized as the
Bellefonte Trust company. That was
in 1904 and from that time until his
retirement in 1919 he filled the posi-
| tion of treasurer, which was, and
i still is, the most important office in
, the institution. With his resignation
‘at that time Mr. Harris rounded out
| sixty-three years of continuous ser-
| Vice in the banking business, a record
' probably equalled by few men in the
country,
' While banking was his business he
was broad-minded and took a decided
| interest in the moral, educational
and economic life of the town. He
had a record of thirty-nine years of
continuous service as a member of the
Bellefonte school board, which was
longer than any other man in the
| State ever served in a like capacity.
Just as he saw Bellefonte grow from
practically a wayside hamlet into
what it is today; saw three of his
i fellow townsmen go forth as Gover-
‘nor of Pennsylvania and many others
elevated to high positions in business
and political life, all the wonderful
inventions that have made American
men famous were brought forth with-
in his knowledge. He saw and helped
to bring forth industries in Bellefonte
and also saw them pass away and
others take their place. For seventy
years he was a member of the Pres-
byterian church and Sunday follow-
ing Sunday could be found in his
pew, a devout worshipper as well as
an ardent supporter of the church and
its policies.
He was a man who loved the social
side of life and whenever occasion
offered relaxed from business cares
to mix with his neighbors and friends,
either in the family circle or at public
gatherings. In politics he was a
staunch Republican all his life, and
never failed to express the courage of
his convictions. He was a member of
the Bellefonte Lodge of Masons and
the last surviving chapter member of
Constans Commandery Knights
Templar.
On December 18th, 1860, he mar-
ried Miss Mary Scott, of Freeport,
Armstrong county, and for fifty-eight
years they trod life’s pathway side
by side. Of their nine children five
survive, as follows: J. Linn Harris,
of Lock Haven; Dr. Edith Schad, of
Pittsburgh, but who spent the past two
months with her father in Bellefonte;
John P. Jr., of Newton Hamilton, anid
Mrs. Emily Warfield, of Bellefonte; |
| vivors are several nieces and nephews,
including Miss Martha Van Rens-
selaer, of Ithaca, N. Y. .
She was a member of the Methodist
church and Rev. E. E. McKelvy had
charge of the funeral services which
were held on Tuesday afternoon,
burial being made in the Union ceme-
tery. » sha heal |

BERGSTRESSER. — Mrs. Cecelia
Callahan Bergstresser, widow of Ed-
ward Bergstresser, died at her home
at Hublersburg on Sunday as the re-
sult of senile debility, following an’
illness of seven months. She was a
daughter of Charles and Margaret
Armor Callahan and was born in
Bellefonte on November 6th, 1834,
hence was 90 years, 3 months and 9
days old. The greater part of her life
had been spent at Hublersburg. Her

Mrs. Bilger Celebrates 94th Birthday
Anniversary. .
Mrs. Elizabeth Bilger, widow of the
late Jonathan Bilger, of Pleasant Gap,
celebrated her 94th birthday anniver-
sary last Wednesday evening. As has
been her custom for a number of
years she invited her children and
intimate friends to a big dinner in the
evening and about fifty responded.
It was not only a gala occasion but a
sumptuous feast. The big table was
loaded down with good things to eat,
one white layer cake being two feet
high and baked to represent a leaning
tower.
Mrs. Bilger is certainly a remark-
able woman. She was born in Liver-
pool, Perry county, on Feb. 11th, 1831.
She came to Centre county before the
Civil war and was married to Jona-
than Bilger, at Centre Hall. Shortly
thereafter they took up their resi-
dence at Pleasant Gap and that has
been her home ever since. Mrs. Bil-
ger lived in the time when mothers
considered it a blessing to have chil-
dren, and the result was her family
included thirteen, eleven of whom are
living. Of this number seven at-
tended the party last Wednesday
evening, namely: Mrs. G. W. Rees,
Mrs, J. O. Hile, Mrs. Abbie Rockey,
Mrs Harry Corl, Misses Annie and
Virgie Bilger and Wilson Bilger. The
absentees were Mrs. Loretta Yohey,
Mrs. Charles Bender, Frank and
Newton Bilger.
Mrs. Bilger, by the way, is still in
splendid health and unusually active
for one of her years. She is especial-
ly fond of flowers and is looking for-
ward to springtime when she can
plant and take care of her flower gar-
den.
Big Doings at the Centre County
Auto Show.
The twenty-six dealers and latest
models of two dozen or more stand-
ard automobiles will not be the only
attractions at the big Centre county
auto show to be held in the armory,
Bellefonte, March 4th to 7th inclusive,
although these will probably be the
main attraction. But every afternoon
and evening there will be orchestra
music and singing by people well
known in musical circles throughout
the State.
All the available space for exhibi-
tion purposes has already been taken,
some of the dealers expecting to show
various models of the car they handle.
If you contemplate buying a machine
this spring and have not yet placed
an order you will be able to compare
makes, models and prices at the big
auto show week after next.
Sunday School Officers Elected.
At a meeting of the executive com-
['school “association, held at the Belle-
‘fonte Y. M. C. A.,, on Sunday after-
inoon, the following officers were elect-
ed for Division No. 7, comprised of
| Bellefonte borough, Spring and Ben-
ners townships:
President, Harry A. Rossman, of
Bellefonte; vice president, W. A.
Hoover, Pleasant Gap; secretary, Miss
Edith Houser; cradle roll, Mrs. Wil-
liam Nighthart; primary department,

Stine; teachers’ training, H. C. Men-
old; adult department, H. C. Yeager,
of Bellefonte.
——A congregational meeting will
be held in the Presbyterian chapel
next Tuesday evening at which time
it is possible that some action may
be taken in regard to the repairs to
| the church. Some time ago a contract
‘ was awarded A. Linn McGinley to do
over the interior of the church but
after the work had been started it
' was discovered that the rear of the
building is in a very bad, if not dan-
gerous, condition. The foundation
sets on the top of a slanting ledge of
‘rock and it has been gradually set-
tling until the rear wall of the church
is badly cracked. To tear it down
‘and rebuild it of stone and brick
| would do little good, as it would be
. impossible to get away from the
| slanting rock. One contractor has
suggested the tearing down of twen-
ty or more feet of the rear end, put-
ting down a big concrete slab as a
retainer, then rebuilding that portion
of the church of lighter material. This
question, however, will be threshed
out at the congregational meeting to
be held next Tuesday evening.

Three Decades Have Wrought Many
Changes.
On Sunday morning, July 23, 1899,
at 9:28, the first regularly scheduled
passenger train arrived in Bellefonte.
The regular Sunday schedule began
with two trains a day. One at 9:28 a.
m.; the other at 4:44 p. m. and the
sale of tickets for the first Sunday at
Bellefonte amounted to less than
$25.00.
At the time there was considerable
agitation against such a desecration
of the quiet Sabbath days we had been
accustomed to and many who then de-
clared that they would never ride in
the cars on Sunday have since manag-
ed to square it with their conscience
far enough to do it whenever conven-
ience or necessity have required.
The Sunday trains were the direct
fruit of the efforts of the late William
Burnside to retain for Bellefonte an
industry he had fathered, organized
and started here. It was the Standard
Scale and Supply Co., now located at
Beaver Falls. With his brother-in-
law, the late Harry C. Valentine, Mr.
Burnside had gotten that plant going,
in a small way, on the property now
included in the Titan Metal Co’s site.
It prospered, but when it had grown
to prospective importance in the in-
dustrial world’ certain Pittsburgh in-
terests in it began to clamor for its
removal to a place more accessible to
them for visits of inspection. Belle-
fonte offered everything in the way of
better environment for the workers in
the plant, less liability to labor dis-
organization, but we didn’t have Sun-
day trains on which the Pittsburgh
gentlemen could get in and out with-
out losing two entire days from their
offices in that city. It appeared that
the retention or loss of the growing
industry hinged solely on whether we
could persuade the P. R. R. to put
Sunday passenger trains on the B.
E. V.
Accordingly, Mr. Burnside prepared
a petition to J. M. Wallis, then gen-
eral superintendent at Altoona, pray-
ing that his company take action to-
ward relief of the isolation of our
town. This petition carried exactly
one hundred signatures, representing
well known business enterprises of
Bellefonte. Of those signers only
thirty remain identified with business
in Bellefonte after the lapse of the
intervening years. Look over the list
and you will be surprised, as we have
been, with the changes that less than
three decades have wrought in the
business places of Bellefonte.

——A number of new rulings have
just been promulgated by officials of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
for the government of its employees
and as a means of making them plain
to the men, schools of instruction are
being held at various points on the
company’s lines. One such was held
in Bellefonte on Tuesday evening, in
a special car arranged for that pur-
pose. Joseph Twitmire, of Sunbury,
but formerly of Bellefonte, was the
man in charge having been one of eight
selected from a class of eight hun-
dred men to conduct the schools.
E. F. Green, who has been man-
ager of the Western Union telegraph
office in Bellefonte the past year or
two, has been appointed manager of
the Tyrone office to succeed Paul
Price, who has been transferred to Al-
toona. The change will take place to-
day or tomorrow. He will be succeed-
ed here by M. H. Hall, of Milesburg,
who has had considerable experience
as an operator for the P. R. R. com-
pany.
Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Montague,
of State College, are mourning the
death of their three months old
daughter, Sarah W. Montague, who
died at the Centre County hospital on
Tuesday of an infection of the brain.
Burial was made at Pine Hall yester-
day.

The Girls’ basket ball team handed
the Central State Normal school girls’
a neat little valentine in the nature of
a defeat upon their own floor last
Saturday night.
The game was full of thrills and
hard fought from start to finish.
Bellefonte caged the first basket but
their playing was ragged during the:
initial quarter so that Normal had a
five point lead when that period was:
finished. Undismayed the maroon
uniforms soon made a come back and
the half ended with Bellefonte one:
point to the good.
When the third period opened Lock
Haven tied the score with a foul goal,.
but Gale's warriors were determined
to win and secured a five point lead’
which was generally maintained’
throughout the rest of the game, with
the final whistle leaving the score:
board at 27-22 in favor of Bellefonte.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
Kitty Johnston’s efforts in her
final game at Bellefonte were the:
crowning points © of a remarkable
athletic career.
Katty Farley pulled several “Jim
Bower” shots which took the heart
out of the opponents.
Grace Cohen used real judgment in
getting the ball past her opposing
center and handled the ball excellent-
ly throughout the whole game.
Marpy was like a red comet in ac-
tion. Her play co-ordinated the team:
work in all sections.
Capt. Gale just wouldn’t let the
Normal forwards get the ball except
at rare intervals and with Cele Smith
gave them the poorest chances to
shoot imaginable.
Mary Smith replaced Katty Farley
during the last few minutes and
showed pretty team-work with Kitty
Johnston.
Lock Haven was handicapped by
the poor physical condition of several
good players, but were too good sports
to ask to have the game postponed.
More credit to them.
Bellefonte did not call
time-out.
The dance after the game was well
attended by spectators. and players
and was delightful rest to our players
following the strenuous efforts just
previous.

Dates Set for Altoona Racing Classics
Spring is nearly here, even though
the proverbial first robin hasn’t yet
appeared. Although four months
must pass before the first of the sea-
son’s two great events, squads of
workmen have already started pre-
paring the famous Altoona speedway
for the sensational racing classics of
1925.
Waiting only for the first early
thaws, carpenters are swarming qver
the huge grandstands and mammoth
mile-and-a-quarter board saucer re-
newing and repairing everything in
readiness for the starter’s flag of the
first championship event on Saturday,
June 13. Snorting tractors and steam
rollers are working from morning
until night that when race day dawns
the renowned bowl here will be the
finest in the history of this most
thrilling of sports.
When Fred J. Wagner, internation-
ally known starter of world’s cham-
pionship classics, lines up the cars on
June 18 he will face the greatest
roster of racing pilots ever entered in
one event. In addition to the stellar
drivers of the American continent,
headed by Tommy Milton, Ralph De-
Palma, Farl Cooper, Bennie Hill and
others, the management is now ar-
ranging with European representa-
tives for the appearance of the most
noted of French, Italian, German and
English cars and drivers.
With the settlement of the repara-
tions question, the German racing car
manufacturers can ship their mounts
to this country without the risk of
seizure that withheld them in recent
years. None dared the national bar-
riers last season because four ma-
chines, valued at more than $100,000,
were virtually interned here in 1923
when they couldn’t pass back
through the French occupation zones
without heavy risks.
