Union Township Has Poor Farm but
No Poor.
Talking about taxes and centraliza-
tion of government in Harrisburg a
resident of Union township, in Belle-
fonte several days ago, voiced the
opinion that if boroughs and town-
chips were not so completely dominat-
ed by government officials at Harris-
burg they would be far better off. He
cited as an example the fact that
twenty years ago Union township was
collecting a rather heavy poor tax in
order to care for its poor, until finally
the poor board decided to buy a farm
and convert it into a poor farm where
all who needed or demanded assist-
ance could be taken care of.
They did so and in due time the
farm was paid for and the taxes then
gradually decreased. But it also be-
came noticeable that the number of
dependents was also decreasing, and
today they have the poor farm. and no
poor to keep on it. They also have no
poor tax, while the farm is rented and
bringing in an annual income to the
poor department which is being accu-
mulated against the time when there
may be some unfortunates who will
through force of necessity be com-
pelled to become inmates of the poer
farm.
The gentleman in question believes
that if every borough and township
were permitted to conduct its own af-
fairs and not be regulated by law or
dictation from Harrisburg regarding
taxation, etc., they would be far bet-
ter off.
In Behalf of Fresh Air Fund.
There was a meeting last week, of
“The Tribune Fresh Air Fund,” which
is finding homes for tenement children
of New York for a two week’s vaca-
tion here. Chairmen of the different
churches reported places for over fifty
children. Mrs. Mary Brouse has found
places for twenty-seven children
among members of the Roman Cath-
olic church. We hope the other
churches will respond liberally.
At the next meeting of the commit-
tee the final reports are asked for.
This will be at three o’clock, at Petri-
kin hall, Monday, July 6th. All chair-
men please be present.

William Wallace, son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. F. Wallace, of Clearfield,
is in the Centre County hospital with
a broken leg sustained in an automo-
bile accident on Sunday night. The
young man was returning from a mo-
tor trip to Lock Haven and nearing
Bellefonte he turned out to pass
another car and collided with a tele-
phone pole. The young man had only
recently recovered from a broken an-
kle sustained at a fire in Clearfield.

Supreme Court Ruling Delays Sol-
diers’ Bonus Until 1928.
Before adjourning for the summer
holiday, on Saturday, the Supreme
court of Pennsylvania handed down
its decision in regard to the constitu-
tional amendment providing a loan of
$35,000,000 for paying soldiers’ bo-
nuses, the opinion being that the
amendment cannot be submitted to a
vote of the people until 1928. The de-
cision is based on the provision of the
Constitution that it cannot be amend-
ed oftener than once in five years and
the last amendment was adopted in
1923.
The decision practically knocks out
proposed amendments for loans total-
ing $273,000,000. Among the other
loans which it was intended to have
authorized were $50,000,000 for high-
way work, $100,000,000 for construc-
tion of State institutions, including a
memorial bridge; erection of buildings
for penal and other institutions; $5,-
000,000 for State armories; $8,000,000
for buildings at State College, and
$25,000,000 for reforestration.
The appeal was based specifically on
the proposed amendment to authorize
the soldiers’ bonus loan. Under an
agreement with the State administra-
tion a suit was instituted in the Dau-
phin county court to compel the Sec-
retary of the Commonwealth, Dr.
Clyde L. King, to publish this proposed
amendment and submit it to the peo-
ple at the next election. Following a
recent decision by the Supreme court
the Dauphin county tribunal held that
the submission of the loan amendment
at the forthcoming election would be
contrary to the Constitution. An ap-
peal was taken, and it was on this the
Supreme court handed down its rul-
ing.

A Card to the Public.
To those who are sincerely interest-
ed in the success of the swimming
pool on east Bishop street, who like to
enjoy the pleasure it affords, and who
really appreciate the fact that it cost
a large sum of money to build it, let
me say that the water at the present
time is as fine as the best pools in the
country can afford, and that it is kept
in its present splendid condition by |
the stream of fresh water that!
empties into it from the water pipe at
the east end of the pool.
The stream passing through the
pool, generally during the night
hours, when the pressure is high, i
drives whatever impurities might ex- |
|
ist to the surface whence they find
their way into the borough sewer |
through the outlet at the west end of |
the pool. Young girls and others |
whose parents are just as particular |
as can be as to their children’s health |
and cleanliness, take their daily baths |
in the pool and enjoy them to the lim-
it. Let me emphasize further what I |
am compelled to emphasize each pass- |
ing summer, that all out-door pools |
have a greenish hue due to reflection. |
Some observers who are not well in-
formed think that because the water
has this greenish hue, it is dirty and
not fit to bathe in. This is a very ig-
norant mistake. The water can have
that hue and yet be as pure as the
water in the drinking glass on the ta-
le at home. !
I want my friends to rest assured
that after all the expense incurred in
establishing this pool, I most certain-
ly will not let any conditions prevail
that will invite honest and sincere
criticism. Those who have the quar-
ter to spare, and are willing to spend
it in a delightful and refreshing bath,
will find the facilities at the Academy
pool just what they desire them to be.
