The “Watchman” is the only
paper in Centre county to publish the
complete returns of Tuesday’s elec-
-tion, not only on the State and county
tickets but for every one of the sixty-
four districts in the county. This is
in line with the “Watchman’s” policy
at all times, to give the news when it
is news, because the publishers realize
that the voters in every district in the
county are just as much interested in
who their local officers will be as in
who were elected to fill the county of-
fices.
———The “oldest inhabitant” can
scarcely remember a thirtieth of Oc-
tober when snow fell from morning
until night, as it did last Friday. Of
scourse most of it in Bellefonte melted
during the day so that at no time was
‘there more than two inches or there-
abouts on the ground, but out on the
mountains the snow was from four to
five inches in depth. And that was
the last Friday in the month and ac-
cording to that old saw the weather
«of that day will rule that of the fol-
lowing month, but let us all hope that
this will not be the case this time.
Two deer were brought into
Eckel’s meat market on Saturday, one
a two point buck shot over in Georges
valley and abandoned by the hunter,
and a small doe which ran into a wire
fence up near Port Matilda and broke
its leg. Game wardens brought both
carcasses to Bellefonte and after be-
ing skinned and dressed the meat was
sent to the Centre County hospital.
On Monday another big two point
buck was brought in from Dix Run.
It was one of four deer that jumped
from a high bank down onto the road,
the buck falling and breaking its
neck.
——FEdward Hepburn’s Chevrolet
runabout was badly damaged, shortly
after six o’clock last Friday night,
when it was run into by a Ford tour-
ing car driven by Edward King, of
Valley View, on High street just
above the bridge. Mr. Hepburn had
driven up north Water street and was
just making the turn to go up High
street. He was watching a car on his
right which was crossing the bridge
and also headed up the street. King
was on his way down High and at-
tempted to run between Hepburn’s car
and the one going up street with the
result that he ran into the Hepburn
car, tore off the right front wheel and
mud guard, damaged the radiator,
bent the radius rod, ete. “He was un-
able to stop his car until it ran onto
the bridge and bumped into another
car. The only fortunate thing is that
nobody was hurt.
ELK’S HALLOW-EEN CARNIVAL
MARRED BY WINTRY
WEATHER.
Parade Not Nearly as Big as in
Former Years.
streets, the result of an all day’s snow-
fall, last Friday, had a depressing ef-
fect on the Elk’s Hallow-een carnival
held in Bellefonte that evening. In
fact interest in the carnival was at no
time on a par with that of former
years. The Harvest Queen contest
did not become really exciting until
the last two or three days. Only three
young ladies contested for the honor,
Mary Thompson, Eloise Zimmerman
and Christine Weaver. When the final
vote was counted last Thursday even-
ing it showed Miss Thompson a win-
ner with almost fourteen thousand
votes. The total vote cast was over
forty thousand. As the winner of the
contest: Miss Thompson was awarded
a handsome diamond ring and had the
honor of riding in the parade dressed
as a queen is supposed to be.
In the parade, on Friday evening
were the Bellefonte lodge of Elks,
Wetzler’s band, of Milesburg, the
Harvest Queen, I. 0. O. F. band, the
Mummers, Lemont band, the Logan
fire company apparatus, etc. The
Mummers were not nearly so plenti-
ful this year as last, caused no doubt
by the bad weather. Among the fea-
tures were three dogs, one labelled
Keller, one Walker and one Dale,
while the owners carried a placard
bearing the question, “Which do you
want for Judge?” “King winter and
his court” was portrayed by six young
ladies, Mrs. Ogden B. Malin, as the
king, Miss Mary Shelton, Miss Wini-
fred Gates, Mrs. R. C. Blaney, Miss
Nina Lamb, and Miss Anna Straub.
Of course there were numerous
other representations of interesting
characters but it was impossible to
get a line on all of them.
While the carnival did not prove the
money maker this year that it has in
former years, it was not a loser for
the Elks. In fact they anticipate
clearing about three hundred dollars.
Following is a complete list of the

Many Hunters Disappointed on Open-
: ing Day of Season.
The woods and the fields were full
of hunters on Monday, the opening
day of the hunting season, and the big
majority were disappointed with the
luck that attended their efforts to bag
a creditable showing of game. In
fact the only kind of game that
seemed plentiful was rabbits. Some
hunters got their limit of five, but
they were the exception. Others got
two and three but the most of them
returned home empty-handed. Squir-
rel, pheasants and wild turkeys are
either very scarce or kept well under
cover as very few of either were kill-
ed. Squirrel have not been plentiful
in Centre county for a dozen years but
it is only the past two or three years
that the decline of the pheasant has
been so pronounced, and hunters are
naturally at a loss to account for it.
Wild turkeys have never been very
numerous, being found only in certain
spots in the woodlands of the county,
and they are a hard bird to shoot un-
der any and all circumstances.
Borough Dads Make
Briefness.
The borough dads established a rec-
ord for briefness on Monday night.
Six members were present at a regu-
lar meeting and they were in session
less than fifteen minutes. There were
no verbal nor written communications.
The Street committee had nothing of
importance to report. The Water
committee reported digging ditch for
new pipe on Halfmoon hill, two new
connections made, $464.50 collected on
1924 water duplicate, and that the im-
provements at the big spring will
probably be completed between the
10th and 20th of the month. The Fi-
nance committee asked for the renew-
al of two notes totaling $25,000, and
there being no other business bills
amounting to $4148.67 were approved
for payment after which council ad-
journed.

Dental Hygiene Work in Schools
Shows Marked Improvement
in Teeth.
Miss Helen MacDonald, the dental
hygienist employed in our schools for
four months last year and who has
just completed two months’ work here
this year gives the following gratify-
ing report:
“The work of the dental hygienist
began early in the school year with
the pupils of the first and second
grades in the Allegheny street school.
The next patients to be treated were
the pupils of the first, second, third
and fourth grades at the Bishop street
school, then third grade at the Alle-
gheny street school.
According to actual records kept by
the hygienist, there is a marked im-
provement in the general mouth health
condition of the children that were
given a prophylaxis last year, and
came in again this year as patients;
also a greater number of children re-
sponded this year with mo timidity
being shown by them at any time.
This point may be verified by using
the second grade of the Bishop street
school as an example: Last year the
enrollment of girls from this grade
were 20, the patients totalling 6; this
year the enrollment of girls is 14 and
the patients numbered 14. There
were 18 boys enrolled and all had a
prophylaxis. Miss Mame Woods is
the teacher in this grade and her co-
operation was splendid.
The improved condition of the chil-
dren’s teeth may be shown by the pu-
pils of the fourth grade, Bishop street
school. Last year there were 28 pa-
tients to be treated from that grade
and only one had clean teeth; this
year, with a total of 32 patients, 18
had clean teeth.
Before the child is treated his
mouth is thoroughly examined to find
the condition of his teeth as to clean-
liness, to note if fistulas are present,
how often he brushes his teeth, num-
ber of cavities, and condition of the
gum tissue—healthy or otherwise. All
this is checked off plainly on a chart
and given the child to show his par-
ents. In this way the parent becomes
acquainted with the child’s dental de-
ficiencies and may have them reme-
died.
The six year molar, when decayed,
is always very plainly shown and the
hygienist adds a few words to stress
the vital importance of this tooth in
order that the proper care and imme-
diate visit to a dentist be assured.
An added feature this year was
tooth brush drills which were given
to all the grades. This was necessary,
as frequently the children insisted
that they had brushed their teeth
when, upon examination, their teeth
looked otherwise. Therefore, to al-
lay all suspicion the children were
taught how to brush their teeth and
responded very well.
The number of children given a
prophylaxis this year totals 231. Last
year the patients from the same num-
ber of grades totaled 190.
The idea of having a dental clinic is
being considered by the dentists and
it would be a tremendous help.
Miss MacDonald went to State Col-
lege last Saturday to work two
months under the tuberculosis com-
mittee and expects to be in the schools
of Lemont, Boalsburg and State Col-
lege. She will return in the spring
to fill out the remainder of the time
allotted to Bellefonte.

Alumni Homecoming and Football at
State Tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be the annual alum-
ni homecoming day at State College
and also the biggest football game of
the season on Beaver field. From all
indications a large number of the old
grads will be back. Every available
room in the hotels in Bellefonte has
been engaged for the week-end, and
hundreds will motor to the College to-
morrow. State’s opponents on the
gridiron will be the strong Notre
Dame eleven, from South Bend, Ind.
It is one of the best teams in the coun-
try today and the scrap at the College
tomorrow will be one worth seeing.
To date State has suffered two de-
feats, Georgia Tech winning by the
score of 13 to 6 and Syracuse being the
victor at Syracuse, N. Y., last Satur-
day by the score of 7 to 0. While
both were small scores they were de-
feats, nevertheless, but coach Bezdek
has been drilling his squad this week
especially for tomorrow’s game, and
while not over-confident the State
team will play its best to win.

Several Injured in a Motor Accident
at State College.
On Friday morning one of Myers
big motor busses and a Dodge car
came together at the corner of
Beaver and Atherton streets, State
College, with the result that Charles
Strouse, who was driving the Dodge,
has a broken right arm and serious
bruises and cuts. He was accompa-
nied by a school girl, but she escaped
with minor injuries.
The Dodge is a total wreck and it is
a miracle that either of its occupants
escaped death or more serious injury.
The impact of the machines was
with such force that the heavy bus
was damaged to the extent of $1000.

Ivan Walker Recommended as Re-
ceiver for Centre County Bank.
At a special session of court, held
before Judge Dale last Saturday
morning, attorneys N. B. Spangler
and James C. Furst presented a peti-
tion for the appointment of a receiver
and two appraisers for the Centre
County bank, adjudged a bankrupt,
with powers to make an appraisement
of all known property and assets of
the company, convert the same into
cash for distribution among the cred-
itors of the banking company, and
also to determine the legally respon-
sible stockholders at the time the bank
closed its doors and their individual
responsibility for the bank’s liabilities.
The attorneys recommended the ap-
pointment of Ivan Walker as receiver
and while they had no recommenda-
tions to make for appraisers Mr. Furst
suggested W. Frederick Reynolds as
one of the appointees. The attorneys
also suggested that the receiver's bond
be placed at $200,000.
Judge Dale asked for a schedule of
the bank’s assets and liabilities as a
foundation on which to base the
amount of the bond to be required, and
Mr. Spangler stated that as complete
a schedule would be furnished as pos-
sible. The court stated that he would
have to have a little time to consider
the appointments as he did not have
in mind any one for appraisers, but
would give it his attention at an early
date. Up to this time no appoint-
ments have been announced.

Bellefonte High School Red and
Blue Drive.
The latter part of this week will
see the High school putting on its an-
nual Red and Blue drive. This yearly
event is most necessary, for without
the money derived from this source it
would be impossible for the High
school to put such excellent athletic
teams on the field. The people of
Bellefonte have become accustomed to
winning teams but they little realize
the expense that such a team entails.
During the past few years equipment
has taken such a jump in price that it
1s impossible to outfit a football team
at less than $30.00 per man. The
school authorities insist that every ef-
fort shall be made to protect the play-
er and so the latest safety devices are
obtained. Moreover they go to great
expense in obtaining worthy oppo-
nents so that good games are insur-
ed. At only one game to date has the
attendance been large enough to pay
expenses.
Every one knows that good High
school teams are the best advertise-
ment a town can have. The name of
Bellefonte was made known through-
out the State last spring through its
famous relay team. The football team
is spreading the town’s reputation far
and wide. The boys play the game,
not for themselves, but for their
school, which is an integral part of
the town. The towns-people should
show their interest in their own school
by contributing to the drive, thereby
making certain the continuation of B.
H. S. successes in athletics.
Social Happenings.
The employees of the Keystone

ters, the Misses Curry.

score. The next game will be played
