THIS IS MAY DAY.
Child Health Day.
The American Child Health Associa-
tion, of which Herbert Hoover is pres-
ident, urges all people of good will to
join in the celebration of May Day as
Child Health Day. In each State a
chairman has been appointed and, in
Pennsylvania, is Dr. S. McC. Hamill,
of Philadelphia, one-time resident of
Oak Hall, Centre county. Last year
was the first nation-wide observance
of this day when very complete pro-
grams were carried out in many
places. Most attractive plan books
and May Day festival books have been
prepared and sold for ten cents to give
suggestions for celebrating this day,
some of which are pageants, health
plays, tableaux, athletic festivals; at-
tractive posters on cleanliness, food,
care of the teeth displayed in store
windows; special display cards carried
on street cars and ice-wagons; distri-
bution of flowers to shut-in children;
children and mothers taken for a drive
into the country; talks by physicians
and nurses; demonstrations, motion
Picture films, pamphlets on nutrition
and growth distributed, health articles
published in newspapers.
Every individual school or organiza-
tion should find some way of celebrat-
ing Child Health Day, if not today.

programs are being carried out. in the
county, attention will be focused on’
child health in various ways through

BOAL.—Capt. George M. Boal, one !
| Reuben Herron Meek died at his home
of the best known residents of Penns-
valley, passed away at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. D. A. Boozer, at
Centre Hall, at three o'clock on Mon-
day morning. His death was the re-
sult of the natural -dissolution of a
one-time strong and rugged constitu-
tion. His failing health became ap-
parent eleven weeks ago and became
more pronounced with each passing
day. Several weeks ago he was com-
pelled to take his bed and his death on
Monday morning was not unexpected.
Capt. Boal was of Irish descent, his
father having been born in Ireland,
but brought to this country by his
parents when only a year old. It is
upwards of a century and a third since
the elder Boals located in Pennsvalley
and it was in Harris township that
George M. Boal was born on March
17th, 1839. His parents were George
Welch and Sarah Shannon Boal and
his entire life of 86 years, 1 month
and 10 days was spent in the region
of his birth with the exception of his
several years of service during the
Civil war. A son of a farmer his first
schooling was received at the Rock
Hill school in Harris township, under
the direction of Christina Wieland.
Later ‘he attended the Boalsburg
Academy and the Kishacoquillas sem-
inary. With the exception of two
years spent as a clerk in the store of
Ard & Dunlap, at Pine Grove Mills,
all his youth was devoted to assisting
his father on the farm and in receiv-
ing an education.
Following the outbreak of the Civil
war he enlisted as a private in Com-
pany D, 148th infantry. This was on
August 16th, 1862, and his first active
service was at Chancellorsville. Fol-
lowing that memorable battle he was
assigned to detached duty as clerk at
the headquarters of the First division,
Second army corps, . under General
Hancock. Later he was detailed to
the general recruiting service at Har-
risburg. On March 10th, 1865, he was
commissioned first lieutenant and
quartermaster of the 83rd P. V. IL,
joining that command at City Point
and was with the regiment in the field
until the close of the war, having been
discharged in June, 1865.
Returning home he located at the
old homestead in Harris township,
owned jointly by himself and brother,
Shannon Boal. Two years later he
sold his interest to his brother and
purchased the John Durst farm in
Potter township, where he lived until
his retirement ‘to a comfortable home’
in Centre Hall.
1 He was “a “charter. member of the
Samuel Shannon Post, No. 282, G. A.
R., at Ceritre’ Hall, until their hall and
equipment were destroyed by fire |
when he joined the thinning ranks of
Gregg Post, No. 95, of Bellefonte. He
‘was also a charter member of the Cen-
tre County Veteran club and its treas-
urer for many years. He was z life-
long member of the Presbyterian
church and one of its most faithful
supporters. He was also a member of
the Grange and always actively inter-
ested in every movement for the up-
lift of his community and the public
in general.
In politics he was unswervingly Re-
publican and during his active life was
a man to be reckoned with in the
councils of his party. He never sought
office for himself but under the Taft
administration accepted the appoint-
ment as postmaster at Centre Hall
and his administration in that office is
still referred to as one of unusual effi-
ciency and courtesy. Possessed of
many kind and generous impulses, he
was always a friend of the weak and
those less fortunately situated than
himself. He loved the social side of
life and being endowed with a jovial
nature and natural Irish wit made him
a very companionable gentleman.
While at home on a furlough in
February, 1863, he married Miss
Ellen Love, a daughter of associate
judge W. W. Love, of Potter township.
She passed away about fifteen years
ago, since which sad event he had
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Boozer. He was the last of his
generation of the Boal family but his
survivers = include five daughters,
namely: Mrs. D. A. Boozer, of Cen-
tre Hall; Mrs. Charles Meyer, of
Reedsville; Mrs. Charles Slack, of
plays and songs in. the: schools; ~a | Contre Hall; Mrs. W.E. Park, of
Asheville, 'N." C.,"and Mrs. W. Gross
Mingle, of Philadelphia. Most of his
children were with him da good part of
‘the time during his last illness.
Funeral services were held at the
Boozer home at three o’clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon by his pastor, Rev.
J. Max Kirkpatrick, assisted by Rev.
Keener, of the Reformed church, after
which burial was made in the Centre
Hall cemetery.
The honorary pall bearers were all
G. A. R. men, as follows: Capt. W.
H. Fry, B. D. Brisbhin, W. E Tate, W.
H. Bartholomew, Amos Rice, Harvey
Griffith, William Flack, Rev. G. W.

penshade, J. B. Holter, W. H. Brown,

MEEK.—The last of his generation,
at Clarence Sunday evening at 9
o'clock. He had been declining in!
health for several months as the re-
sult of over taxing his strength dur-
ing a long walk over the mountains
near his home to revisit scenes dear
to him through their association with
earlier days.
Deceased was a son of William J.
and Jane McElhattan Meek and was
born in Ferguson township May 4th,
1844, on the tract of land taken up by
Capt. George Meek, in 1790, and part
of which still remains in the family
name. In early life he took up the
work of mill-wrighting and necessari-
ly traveled over much of Central
Pennsylvania, most of his time having
been employed in the Reynoldsville,
Galeton, Falls Creek region and a
year in Florida. Having married
Elizabeth Beaver in 1873, they deter-
mined to make their home in what
was later called South Snow Shee,
now Clarence. They built there in
1879 the first house in the village.
That was before the N. Y. C. R. R.
entered the place and is the home of the Centre County Mutual Fire Insur- years old, of Cambria county, was
the family now.
Mr. Meek was a man of exceptional .
intellectuality. His leisyre. imoments
‘were devoted almost entirely to. gdogd
literature ‘which his clear, analytiéal
mind fed upon until it was a ‘veritable
store house of philosophy. He was in-
terested in‘everything, Democracy and
Methodism especially. His devotion
to the doctrinal traditions of his fore-
bears found expression in all of the
services of a Methodist church that
he was able to attend. In his home
community he was for years superin-
tendent of the Sunday school and a
class leader.
Surviving him are his widow and
the following children: Mrs. Robert
Lucas, of Clearfield; Miss Zoe, a
teacher in the public schools of Snow
Shoe, and Democratic nominee for the
Legislature three years ago; Mrs.
Charles Watson, of Clarence; Mrs.
John Russell, of Avis; Mrs. Emil
Krone and Clifton B., of Clarence.
Interment was made in the family
plot in Meek’s cemetery, Ferguson
township, on Wednesday at 10 o’clock,
Rev. Burkheimer, of the Snow Shoe
Methodist church, having had charge
of the services. e

——The Bellefonte fire department
was called out shortly after the noon
hour, last Friday, when an awning
over one of the kitchen windows at
the Brockerhoff house caught fire and
burned. The window frame was badly
scarred but the flames were extin-
guished by employees at the hotel be-
fare the firemen reached the scene.
Hardly had they gotten back to the
fire houses when they were again call-
eed out by a fire on the roof of the
Benner building, adjoining the Brock-
erhoff house. This fire was extin-
guished with chemicals and a small
stream of water before it did any
great amount of damage. It is the
general supposition that the second
fire was caused by a spark from the
first.

Ton Litter Contest Will Close May 15.
The time is drawing near when the
entries for the -ton- litter contest will
close. May 15th is the date all entries
should be in the agricultural extension
office. The object of this club is to
produce a ton of pork from a litter of
pigs in 180 days from time of farrow-
ing.
Last year Peters Bros., of Storms-
town, were successful in reaching the
goal. There are a number of litters
entered this year in Centre county
and a large increase of enrollment
over the State. Every member in the
contest made money on their litter
last year therefore the project is eco-
nomically sound. The swine breed as-
sociation of the State is offering gold
medals for the man making 1.800
pounds. Enrollment blanks can be
secured at the agricultural extension
office. Any one who has a litter of
eight pigs or over, either pure-bred
or grade, should take advantage of
this opportunity.

Dauphin County Court Rules Against
Submission Bonus Amendment.
President Judge Hargest, of the
Dauphin county court, on Saturday
the State Constitution to provide for a
soldiers’ bonus cannot be submitted to
the voters until 1928. :
The ruling was based on the deci-
sion of the State Suprcme court that
the Constitution can not be amended
oftener than once in five years. The
Constitution was amended last in 1923.
Judge Hargest’s decision was given
in the mandamus action brought by
Ray E. Taylor, commander of Harris-
burg Post No. 27, American Legion,
against Secretary King, to decide
whether the bonus amendment could
be voted on next November.
Taylor will appeal to the State Su-
preme court. :
While the opinion of Judge Hargest
is devoted to the bonus question only,
it has a more far-reaching effect than
merely postponing the vote on the bo-
nus bond issue. "
The 1925 Legislature passed for the
second time the resolutions providing
$25,000,000 for forestration; $8,000,-
000 for buildings at State College, and
$5,000,000 for new armories for the
National Guard.
These appropriations are to be sub-
mitted to the people, but: Saturday’s
decision, unless reversed by higher
courts, means that no amendment to
the Constitution can be voted upon
prior to 1928.
