HIGHWAY CONTRACTORS
NOW ON THE JOB.
Work in Progress at Two Points on
Snow Shoe Mountain Road.
Never since the building of state
highways has become an accomplish-
ed fact has there been such great
activity in road construction in Centre
county as there will be this summer;
and the four contracting firms who
will have the work in charge are los-
ing no time in getting on the job.
James & Nicholson, of Johnstown,
who have the contract for the Snow
Shoe mountain road, have started
work at two places. Last week a big
steam shovel was put in commission
on the mountain at the Beech Creek
fill, and on Monday morning another
big shovel was put to work at Run-
ville, The contractors will use all the
labor saving road making machinery
possible and plan to push the work
at top speed. The survey of the moun-
tain road provides for the elimination
of two long curves, which will shorten
the road some two miles. The elim-
ination of these curves will be made
without increasing the present grade.
Up Bald Eagle valley both the Mil-
ler Construction company, of Punx-
sutawney, and J. M. Hutchinson, of
Altoona, have started work on their
respective sections, running from
Snow Shoe Intersection to Bald Eagle,
where it connects with the state road
leading to Tyrone. The Reitz Bros.,
of Sunbury, are getting things in
shape to begin work on the road over
Nittany mountain, and by the first of
May all operations will be in full
swing.
The magnitude of these state road
operations can be gauged from the
fact that the four contracts will mean
an expenditure of well onto two mil-
lion dollars. As all the roads aie to
be of concrete it will take approxi-
mately 115,000 tons of crushed lime-
stone to do the work. The contracts
for all the stone have been awarded
to Bellefonte operators, which will
mean increased activity at the various
stone quarries hereabouts. It will
also mean increased tonnage out of
Bellefonte for the Pennsylvania
railroad company and a great demand
for trucks and drivers. Hence, taken
all together, the summer season should
be the best we have had in this
section for some years.
—iEee EY
Three More Stretches of County Road
to be Taken Over by the State.
Some time ago we referred to the
possibility of the State’s taking over
the road traversing “the Barrens”
from a point near Waddle to State
College. In doing so we commented
on the possible diversion of business
of Buffalo Run and Halfmoon 'val-
leys from Bellefonte that an improv-
ed highway there might bring about.
We are informed that this road,
as well as the two other pieces, links
in an important chain, are included in
the 1100 miles of other county roads
that are on the State’s program for
permanent improvement.
The sections from the Quaker
church in Halfmoon valley, over the
mountain to Port Matilda, and that of
the old “Tyrone pike” from Sandy
Ridge into Philipsburg are also in-
cluded.
As separate units of improved high-
way they mean little, but when viewed
in the light of what they link up there
is considerable significance. It will
mean, that traffic from Philipsburg
Clearfield and points beyond will have
a direct route to State College, with-
out touching Osceola Mills, Tyrone or
Bellefonte. Besides being much short-
er it will be one with many less
railroad crossings and few dangerous
curves. : 2
Directors Elected for Presbyterian
Home.
One of the important items of bus-
iness transacted at the spring meet-
ing of the Huntingdon Presbytery,
held at State College Monday and
Tuesday, was the election of directors
for the Presbyterian home for the
aged, at Hollidaysburg. The report
of the committee, with the by-laws
and terms of admissicn and rules gov-
erning the Dysart memorial for wom-
en were all adopted and the committee
discharged. These are the directors
elected in keeping with the charter se-
cured for the institution: For one
year—The Rev. R. P. Daubenspeck, D.
D., and elders D. S. Kloss, H. E. Chen-
weth and John L. Holmes; for two
years—the Rev. J. W. Francis, D. D.,
and elders Thompson Henry, Hon. P.
W. Snyder and H. S. Hatfield; for
three years—James S. Woods, James
Macklin and R. S. Sommerville.

Col. Reynolds Resigns from Hospital
Board. Mr. Emerick Chosen.
At a regular meeting of the board
of trustees of the Centre County hos-
pital, Tuesday evening, Col. W. Fred
Reynolds tendered his resignation as
a member of the board and it was
promptly accepted. W. J. Emerick, of
Bellefonte, was elected to fill the va-
cancy.
The board passed a resolution of
thanks to the Ladies Guild of the
Lutheran church and the Ladies Aid
of the Presbyterian church, for their
generous yearly contributions.
——Miss Ella A. Gates, who has
been a patient in the Centre County
hospital since February 7th, 1924, was
removed, on Sunday, to the comforta-
ble home of Mrs. Mary Kane, at
Roopsburg, in the hope that the
tharige of environment: may prove
beneficial in every way.
Fruit Growers in Centre County Don’t
Believe Crop Injured.
From various sections of the State
comes the annual wail of the dectruc-
tion of the fruit crop by the severe
cold weather during January, but
Centre county fruit growers Bbpes)
more optimistic. In fact they do no
believe the fruit has been damaged to
any material extent. Buds are just
now making their appearance on the
early fruit trees and from all indica-
tions the trees will be heavily laden.
Unless a killing frost should settle
down upon the trees after they are in
bloom there is every reason to believe
that the crop of all kinds of fruits
will be a big one in Centre county this
year. At least let us hope so.
Clean-up Suggestions.
Persons who did not observe the
State’s appeal for clean-up week, are
urged to make a special effort for rid-
ding the community of its winter ac-
cumulations of dirt and unsightly
places, as soon as possible. The fol-
lowing suggestions may be of assist-
ance to many:
Interesting Missionary Meeting.
Unusual interest marked the pro-
ceedings of the annual meeting of
the Woman’s Missionary society of
the Huntingdon Presbytery, held in
Philipsburg last week. The reports
submitted by the various officers
showed a most encouraging financial
condition. Prominent missionary
workers were present and told of
conditions at home and abroad, all of
; which showed increased interest. At
| Wednesday afternoon’s session Miss |
Catharine Woods, who expects to sail
“in the near future as a missionary in
, China, was called to the platform and
‘ presented with a sum of money with
‘which to purchase for her use, when
i she reaches that country, a Chinese
pony.

Another Big Boxing Tourney.
The Bellefonte Amusement associ-
ation will stage their second big box-
ing tourney of the season at the
Moose Temple theatre next Wednes-
day evening, April 22nd. Fans of the
fistic arena who attended the first
tourney held a month or so ago will
look forward to this second event with
anticipations of an evening of good
entertainment.
There will be four big bouts featur-
ing bantam weights from Sharon and
Steelton, feather-weights from Sun-
bury and Harrisburg, welterweights
from Baltimore and Johnstown and
the final bout between a Philadelphian
and the lightweight champion of Cen-
tral Pennsylvania. »
The battle royal will be between lo-
cal talent, all the men blindfolded, and
it alone will be worth the price of ad-
mission. If an admirer of the science
of manly art, the place to see it exem-
plified is at the Moose Temple theatre,

Lock Haven Man Held for Man-
slanghter.
At a hearing before justice of the
peace S. Kline Woodring, last Thurs-
day, LeRoy Fox, of Lock Haven, was
held in four thousand dollars bail for
trial at the Centre county court on the
charge of involuntary manslaughter.
It will be recalled that Mr. Fox was
the owner and driver of the car in
which William Henderson, of Lock
Haven, a passenger, was so badly in-
jured on the afternoon of March 27th,
when Mr. Fox’s car sideswiped
another car while in the act of passing
a big bus, that he died in the Lock
Haven hospital the following morning.
They were on their way to an ath-
letic event at State College when they
met with the mishap near Nittany.
We have been informed that the
friends of the victim of the accident
are not parties to the prosecution.
They view it as an unfortunate acci-
dent. The information was made by
a state motor patrolman.
While the evidence submitted at the
hearing was not of a character to show
criminal negligence Justice Woodring
deemed it sufficient to hold him for a
court trial. :

American Lime Wins at Bowling.
The Potter-Hoy Hardware Co.
bowling team, consisting of Dr. Rob-
ert Tinsley, Francis Crawford, Wil-
liam Kline and Doc. Williams, winners
of the first division, bowled the Amer-
ican Lime bowling team, winners of
the second division, on Wednesday
night losing three games straight. The
American Lime team consists of A.
M. Barr, H. S. Mabee, John Dunn and
G. C. Bingaman. This was an awful
drop for the Potter-Hoy team after
winning twenty games straight, and
the American Lime team expects to
take the next six games, if the Potter-
Hoy team will keep back of the foul
line and not loft the balls.
Mabee, Barr and Dunn made them
look like novices, Mabee bowling 246
in one game ‘while Bingaman, who
bowled the low score for American
Lime at 115 beat Doc. Williams by
one pin. The next two games will be
played on Friday night and Monday
night respectively and large crowds
are expected. -It was hard to keep
the crowd back from the fourth alley
on Wednesday, as they insisted upon
putting their feet up over the.railing
but this did not bother the American
Lime team as Potter-Hoy had their
feet on the alleys most of the time.
The American Lime team is being
trained down to the minute and Pot-
ter-Hoy will no doubt wonder what
has happened after they take nine
games straight on next Monday night.

assigned to the work. Among those chos-
en is the former Bellefonte boy and gradu-
ate of State, class of 1921. He has been
transferred to the city of Chicago where

project.
—While mulling over the exchanges on
the desk Saturday evening the door open-
ed and in walked Ammon Kerstetter, of
Pleasant Gap. We hadn't had opportunity
for a chat with Ammon for a long time
and welcomed the visit more than he knew.
To us Ammon presents a combination
rarely found in men of today. He is a
sterling citizen, a fine carpenter, loves
hunting and fishing and is a Democrat.
In the days when the Kerstetter boys were
working under their lamented father the
family name was synonymous, all over the
county, with the most satisfactory there
was to be had in the way of building con-
tractors. Whether it was a barn, a house,
a church, or a group of buildings they put
them up fast and right. Ammon, for some
years, has been heading a construction
gang at the penitentiary and there his
quiet, even disposition backed by practical
knowledge has had the effect of doing a
lot of character building as well as the
kind for which he is employed. It was
mighty interesting to hear him express his
impression of the reaction of the inmates
of that great penal institution to work and
how susceptible some are, and others hope-
lessly impervious, to a bit of kindness and
good advice cautiously given. He spoke
particularly of a young man, in for a long
term, whose case seemed unsolvable until,
almost accidentally, the right line of ap-
proach was made. He responded at once
to it with the result that today he is as
near a model prisoner as could be hoped
for and, besides, has an entirely different
outlook for the future. Already he has
become a very good carpenter and Mr.
Kerstetter believes that by the time for
his discharge comes he will be not only a
high-class mechanic but equipped, as well,
in planning and estimating costs of Build:
ing.

The Models of 1925.
In any one of the sixteen scenes in
George E. Wintz’s “Models of 1925”
there is a fortune invested in striking
gowns for the lovely members of the
famous models chorus, and the girls—
selected from the motion picture stu-
dios of Hollywood, and from the fa-
mous emporiums of Lady Duff Gor- .
don, Lucille and Peggy Page—know
how to wear clothes, or rather, in
some instances, how to wear a wisp of
a frock so that loveliness of line and
beauty of face combine to impress the
eve with the greatest artistic effect.
The “Models of 1925,” will be seen
at the Moose Temple theatre Tuesday
night, April 28th, just prior to turn-
ing east for its New York premier.
The show is presented in the most
gorgeous of settings, and the largest
stage crew that ever took the road
with a musical comedy will insure its
proper installation in the theatres on
its itinerary. Heading its cast of
principals are lovely Nyra Brown and
funny Johnnie Getz, the monkey-man
comedian. The “Models of 1925” is
the biggest of all musical comedies,
but it is not so large as to smother or
overwhelm its wealth of catchy song
gems, its newly imported mechanical
and ensemble novelties.
+ —*“America,” the wonderful moving
picture depicting the big periods in
American history, should be seen by
every one, both young and old. At
Moose Temple theatre Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday, April 23, 24 and
25. 16-2t.
