PRESIDENT COOLIDGE INVITED
TO BELLEFONTE FOR SUMMER
Home of Former Governor Hastings
Tendered as Residence for Chief
Executive and Family.
President Calvin Coolidge, his fami-
ly and entourage have been invited
their summer in Bellefonte, and the
home of former Governor Daniel H.
Hastings has been tendered for their
summer residence. To close personal
friends, last week, the President ex-
pressed a desire to locate for the sum-
mer in some place away from the
regular path of tourist travel and yet
within touch of the national capital
and ihe world in general. In fact he
expressed a preference for some place
in the Pennsylvania mountains.
Confident in the belief that Belle-
fonte can offer a location as attractive
as any in the State Burgess Hard P.
Harris promptly communicated with
Senator George Wharton Pepper and
on behalf of the citizens of the town
tendered to the Chief Executive the
use of the home of former Governor
Daniel H. Hastings as a suitable place
for his summer residence. The above
invitation and tender is to be backed
up by the members of the Bellefonte
chapter D. A. R,, the Kiwanis club,
board of trade and business men’s as-
sociation.
The Hastings home is one of the
largest and most prominently located
in Bellefonte. It is situated on a
prominence on the east side of Alle-
gheny street, surrounded by a
spacious lawn and with an abundance
of shade trees. While on one of the
principal residential streets of the
town it is so much apart from any
other house as to give the occupants
as much seclusion as they may de-
sire.
Bellefonte is right in the heart of a
mountainous section and yet not so
much so as to be at all isolated. It is
contiguous to some of the best farm-
ing sections in the State, and is a
center of a network of state highways
running in all directions, affording
not only splendiid motor drives but
scenic beauty that cannot be equal-
ed anywhere in the State.
Another thing that Bellefonte has to
offer that cannot be equaled any-
where, is an abundance of pure spring
water. This never-failing supply will
be something worth considering.
The water supply of most cities
and towns in the State are af-
fected by long spells of dry weather,
but the Bellefonte spring goes right
along, day and night, pouring fourth
its pure, almost ice-cold water, re-
gardless of drought or hot weather.
Whether the President will accept
the invitation to come to Bellefonte
for the summer remains to be seen,
but there is one thing certain, he can-
not find a better place.
Burgess Harris on Tuesday received
the following reply from Senator Pep-
per:
United States Senate,
April 19th, 1926.
My Dear Mr. Harris:
I have your letter of April 14th in
regard to the residence of the late
Daniel H. Hastings being available
for use as a Summer Capitol. I
am forwarding your communication
to the White House for their consider-
ation.
Very truly yours,
G. W. PEPPER,
Fred J. Gelhaus to Quit Airmail
Service,
Fred J. Gelhaus has resigned his
position as manager of the govern-
ment airmail field in Bellefonte, effec-
tive May first, and will move to Allen-
town where he has accepted a good |
position as district salesman for the
Kendall Refining company, of Brad-
ford.
Mr. Gelhaus came to Bellefonte
from the west five years ago, before
the airmail service had reached the
stage of efficiency it now enjoys, and
through his management the person-
nel at the Bellefonte field was built
up to a degree of efficiency equal to
any on the trans-continental airmail
route. In fact the records of the
local field show it to be close to the
top of all the government fields in Lhe
country.
When the Postoffice Department
decided to introduce night flying and
a larger landing field was necessary,
Mr. Gelhaus spent day after day
scouring the entire section of country
contiguous to Bellefonte for a suit-
able location, and it was due in a
great measure to his efforts that the
field was finally located where it now
is.
Mr. Gelhaus’ only excuse for leav-
ing the service at this time is that he
cannot see enough advancement in it
to justify him in turning down the
very good offer he received to go to
Allentown. Up to this time his suc-
cessor at the Bellefonte field has not
been appointed.
During a session of court, on
Tuesday, Judge Keller sentenced Law-
rence VanOlinda, an escaped Rock-
view prisoner, to 23 to 5 years in the
western penitentiary in addition to
serving out his former sentence.
VanOlinda is the man who escaped on
March 22nd, 1925, after serving less
than six months. He was caught at
Dodge City, Kan., two weeks ago.
VanOlinda is believed to be the man
who robbed the Philipsburg country
club, as the robbery took place the
second night after his escape. He ad-
mitted to the court that he had gone
to Philipsburg but did not admit the
through official channels to spend

Another Escaped Prisoner Captured.
A dispatch from Washington, Pa.
last Friday, detailed the capture in
Washington county, that morning, of
William Wright, who escaped from
the Rockview penitentiary on the
evening of January 4th. Wright was
orignially sent up from Washington
county for 9 to 11 years for felonious-
ly breaking and entering, larceny and
felonious assault and battery. He
was sentenced on November 9th, 1922,
hence had served three years and not
quite two months when he made his
escape. Wright was captured, last
Friday, following the robbing of two
homes, in one of which the lifeless
body of a woman was found, but

Horner's ten piece student orchestra.
They played beautifully, and, as in
generous number, selection followed
selection, the audience sat in rapt at-
tention. One, of negro music, breathed
a melancholy and pathos very stir-
ring. The vocal numbers, in German,
with orchestral accompaniment, by
Mr. Worthly, of the State College ex-
tension department, sounded like a
grand opera solo.
Willis Wion Sends High School Team
to Penn Relays.
The Bellefonte High school relay
team, through the courtesy of Willis
Wion, is enabled to go to Philadelphia
to compete in the annual Penn relays.
If it were not for this kind donation
made by him of the use of a car and
driver it would be impossible for the
boys to take part.in the meet.
It will be realized that the expense
of train transportation and incidentals
would be too great a burden to be
born by the High school athletic asso-
ciation. Last year Mr. Wion also
donated a car and driver, and to him
must be awarded some measure of
credit for the team’s victory. If the
victory is repeated this year, Belle-
fonte should realize that it was he
who made it possible and whatever ad-
vertising the town gains through the
performance of its team at Philadel-
phia, is due to his co-operation and in-
terest in the school.
Cohen and Kalin Buying Again.
Walter Cohen and Max Kalin have
bought the Ray property on north
Water street from Mrs. Harriet Ray
Smith. They expect to remove the
old shirt factory building, grade off
the lot and build a modern filling sta-
tion and comfort spot for motorists.
Because the street is narrow they
expect to use the entire plot so that
cars can get into and out of the place
without congesting traffic.
It is understood that the purchasers
would like to secure the Waite prop-
erty, adjacent to their plat, not only
for the purpose of securing more
room but to open the vista out to the
water’s edge and giving opportunity
to beautify more effectively. As to
whether an offer has actually been
made for it we are not informed.
Young—Casper.—Harold M. Young,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Young,

ter of Mr. and Mrs. David E. Casper,
both of Bellefonte, were married at

Evangelical parsonage, by the pastor,
Rev. Reed O. Steely. They were at-
tended by Earl Barner and Cora Edna
Young. Harold is employed by the

honeymoon they will take up house-
keeping in Bellefonte.

Talk About Stars.
Just a few lines to let you know
that the Scenic and Moose theatres
announce that their programs for
next week has a list of stars that are
seldom seen booked in any houses for
one week. Really, we offer more
stars than there are in the heavens.
Now look the following flock over
and see for yourself if we are not
correct:
Saturday we have Jacqueline Lo-
gan and William Powell in “White
Mice.”
Monday we offer Bebe Daniels,
Ford Sterling and Warner Baxter in
«Miss Brewster’s Millions?”
Tuesday and Wednesday Corinne
Griffith, Harrison Ford and Kenneth
Harlan in “The Marriage Whirl.”
Thursday Betty Compson, House
Peters, Jay Hunt, and Rockliffe Fel-
lows in “Counsel for Defense.”
Friday and Saturday Harry Lang-
don, the ace of comedians, in a laugh
feature, “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.”
At the Moose theatre this Friday
and Saturday H. B. Warner and Lil-
lian Rich in “Whispering Smith.”
In keeping with our slogan, “Where
the better class photoplays are
shown,” we offer the above program
for your approval and might say that
the usual admission of 10 and 25
cents will prevail. 17-1t
Bellefonte Grain Markets.
