MRS GIFFORD PINCHOT
VISITS CENTRE COUNTY.
Lauds the Governor and Heavily
Scores Senator Pepper.
Wednesday was Pinchot day in Cen-
tre county. The Governor's lady rep-
resented the family and gave a credit-
able accounting of herself in her ef-
fort to help her husband on the trip
from Harrisburg to Washington.
She was met at Tyrone on Wednes-
day morning by Miss Rebecca Naomi
Rhoads and together they drove to
Philipsburg in the Governor’s car,
which had been sent here in anticipa-
tion of her coming. At that place
she spoke to an audience of about two
hundred on the roof garden of the Ho-
tel Philips, and reports are to the ef-
fect that it was unexpectedly and sig-
nificantly large.
After the meeting Mrs. Pinchot and
Miss Rhoads, who is the campaign
manager for Centre county, drove to
Bellefonte, arriving just before noon
and in time for a luncheon that was
given in their honor by former Judge
and Mrs. Arthur C. Dale, at their
home on Linn street.
The Bellefonte meeting was at an
hour when most people have other
things to do than listen to politics.
Notwithstanding its untimeliness, lack
of advanced publicity and uncertainty
as to just when the speaker would be
here there was an audience of fully
two hundred to greet her. Most of it
was made up of country folks who had
driven miles to be here and three-
fourths of all were women.
It was significant, however, that
large attendance from the rural dis-
tricts. They didn’t come out of cur-
iosity, as did a large percentage of
the Beliefonte contingent in the audi-
ence,
Mrs. Pinchot was introduced by
Miss Rhoads and spoke for more than
an hour. At first she seemed a bit
nervous but gradually settled down to
the work before her very much in the
staccato style of delivery that her
husband affected here last fall when
he was on his tour of inspection of
State institutions.
She said nothing that one or the
other of the candidates hasn’t already
broadcasted, but she made it plain
that Senator Pepper is really the man
at the mouth of the Pinchot cannon
and convinced a lot of her audience
that the Senator is rather a “weak
sister.” She was emphatic, she was
positive in her belief that the Govern-
or is going to win, but her analysis of
the figures of the Alter-Pinchot con-
test, which she offered in substantia-
tion of the prediction, sounded wom-
anish to us.
After the meeting here Mrs. Dale
and Miss Rhoads accompanied her to
State College, where she spoke to an
open air gathering in front of the
University Inn. There were probably
two hundred and fifty residents and
students in her audience. She said
nothing there that she hadn’t said in
Bellefonte and flayed Senator Pepper
just as she had done here.
From State College the party drove
to Williamsport, where she was sched-
uled to speak that evening.
Mrs. Pinchot’s first visit to Belle-
fonte was in 1914. At that time her
husband was aspiring to beat the late
Senator Penrose. Neither she nor the
Governor were much known in this
county because they had never figured
in State politics. The Governor was
stirring up the animals in Washing-
ton, but Washington stuff doesn’t
quickly interest the hinterlands. They
rolled into town, unannounced, stopped
in front of the Brockerhoff house
and Gifford immediately jumped out
onto the running board and began
clapping his hands. We happened to
be one of the few on the street at the
time and while we did know some-
thing of Pinchot and his endeavors
we didn’t know him by sight, so we
may be pardoned for having thought
at the moment that some Indian
medicine man or “nut” had suddenly
landed in our midst. Finally the hand-
clapping attracted a small group, he
made his speech and rolled on. If
memory serves us right Mrs. Pinchot
then was a bride and seemed more
amused with the political game and
not nearly so much in earnest as she
was on Wednesday.
Women in the audience tell us that
she was gowned very handsomely.
Prior to her meeting here the “tip”
was passed around that she was to be
heckled by a Bellefonte woman Pep-
per worker and the fact that we saw
the lady about the Court house just
before the meeting gave color to the
rumor. But she either changed her
mind or got cold feet, for there was
no interchange of pleasantries, not-
withstanding Mrs. Pinchot’s very in-
sistent invitation to be called to ac-
count for any of her statements.
It was noted that Mrs. Pinchot was
not quite as frank as she might have
been when the minister from Port
Matilda inquired as to her stand on
Sunday observance. While she dis-
claimed advocacy of “an open Sun-
day” she was apparently not welcom-
ing any further interrogation, for she
began to get ready to hurry away im-
mediately after she had given him a
rather ambiguous answer.
——A recommendation is now pend-
ing before the Postoffice Department
in Washington for the reduction of
postage on postcards from two cents
to one, and also a reduction of the
postage charged for remailing of
news-papers, both of which cannot
fail to meet with the hearty approval
of the public at large.
Women Will Run the Election in East
Harris.
When the election board of the east
precinct of Harris township meets for
duty next Tuesday it will have the ap-
pearance of a thimble bee or quilting
party.
Every member, except one, is a
woman. It will be a novel experience
for the men of that district to go to
the polls and find the ladies in com-
plete control.
Rev. Wilson Ard Much in Demand in
Colorado.
Most of the intimate friends of
Rev. Wilson P. Ard know of the grati-
fying success he is making of his new
pastorate of Messiah Lutheran church
in Denver, Col. The general public at
his former home here probably have
heard very little of him since his de-
parture from Bellefonte and it is be-
cause we know they will be equally
interested in the young minister that
we take this opportunity of saying
that Colorado is finding him out and
calling for his services all over the
State.
Two weeks ago he addressed the
Kiwanians of Trinidad, and the annual
“Get Together” of one thousand
farmers in the Rocky Ford district and
last week addressed the Society of
Heating and Sanitary Engineers of
Colorado, the Senior class of the
school of dentistry of the University
of Colorado, the Kiwanis club of Col-
orado Springs and the allied Drug
Travelers Club.
Miss Campbell, Health Nurse, Has
Resigned.
Miss Ethel Campbell, State health
nurse, who has had charge of the
State chest clinics in Bellefonte and
Tyrone the past three years, has re-
signed and gone to her home in Phila-
delphia to nurse her father. The Red
Cross well-baby clinic was given into
Miss Campbell’s charge a year ago
last September when the Red Cross
nursing service was temporarily sus-
pended for lack of funds and has been
conducted by her since that time as a
State baby clinic. Last week Miss
Bigelow, of Centre Hall, graduate of
Blair Memorial Hospital in Hunting-
don, came to take Miss Campbell’s
place. Under new plans of the State
Health Department, Miss Bigelow’s
district will be confined to Centre
county and, in addition to the clinic
in Bellefonte, she will work in the
smaller towns and rural communities.
Miss Carrie Hess, of Philipsburg, is
the only other State nurse in the
county but there are Red Cross nurses
in Bellefonte, Philipsburg and State
College. ;
Car Destroyed by Fire.
A car owned by Samuel Profeizer,
of near Johnstown, Cambria county,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Mon-
day night, and Mr. Profeizer was so
badly burned on the hands that he
was compelled to come to the Centre
"County hospital for treatment.
Two or three car loads of Cambria
county men had gone to Curtin some
time Monday on a fishing trip and
camped with their cars. During the
night they decided to make some
coffee and setting up the camp stove
some ten or twelve feet from the
Profeizer car they lighted the stove
and put on the kettle. But their gaso-
line supply in the stove became low
and Mr. Profeizer went to the tank
on the rear of his car to get a supply.
As he took the cap off the tank a
sharp gust of wind came along and
‘blew the fumes right over the eamp
stove.
An explosion resulted and the flames
commuicated with the gas tank
thence to the car. In an effort to ex-
tinguish the fire Mr. Profeizer was
burned, mostly on his hands. After
treatment at the hospital he was able
to go home on the 3.08 p. m. train on
Tuesday.
Big Fish Dam te be Built en Black
Moshannon.
Hon. Harry B. Scott and J. F. Kep-
hart, of Philipsburg, were in Belle-
fonte on Monday arranging a lease
with the Prentiss corporation for the
right to construct a big fish dam on
the Black Moshannon, about two miles
below Beaver Mills. The ground has
been leased by the State-Centre Fish,
Game and Forestry Association, of
Philipsburg, and as now planned they
will construct a concrete dam across
the Moshannon, just below the bridge
on the public road. The dam will be
over one hundred feet in length and
from four to five feet in height. In
fact it will be of sufficient height to
dam the water back almost ene mile
in length and will make one of the
biggest fish dams in this part of the
State. It is the intention of the as-
sociation to stock the stream with
trout, perch, catfish and other species
suitable to the water.
The dam will be built this summer
and the stream stocked with good
sized fish, and in the course of a few
years Philipsburg sportsmen antici-
pate having one of the best fishing
preserves in the entire State. And
so far as we are informed they do
not propose being selfish with their
rights, but will permit outsiders to
fish in the dam as long as they do not
hog the stream.

PENITENTIARY SENTENCE.
Various Cases Disposed of at Special
Session of Court.
The first case called up at a special
session of court, on Monday morning,
was that of Anna W. Hollobaugh
against her husband, Herbert B. Hol-
lobaugh, charged with desertion and
non-support. The Hollobaughs have
been married long enough to have
three children and in all that time
Mr. Hollobaugh had made no effort to
make a home for his wife ahd chil-
dren, according to her testimony. She
had lived part of the time.at her own
home and part of the time with the
family of her husband’s uncle, and
was compelled to work most of the

children, and also pay the costs in the
case.

guilty to breaking and entering and
larceny, and was sentenced to serve
from one to two years in the western
penitentiary. Kelczak is a paroled
prisoner from the Huntingdon reform-
atory, having been sent there from
Luzerne county in the fall of 1923. He
was paroled in Oct., 1925, and several
weeks ago broke into the house of I.
Newton Wilson, in Halfmoon town-
ship, and stole stuff valued at approx-
imately eighty dollars. Most of the
stolen articles were recovered.
Edward C. Cooke was before the
court on a surety. of the peace charge
and making threats and was put under
a $500 bond to keep the peace for a
period of three years.
Carrie Toner, of Walker township,
was before the court on a morals
charge and after Judge Keller told
her what would happen if she appear-
i ed in court again he paroled her in the
custody of her father.
A desertion charge against S. D.

the family difficulties.

on the docket preliminary to regular
court next week.

new trial and the court imposed a
sentence of $100 fine and costs, the
minimum allowed by law. He also
gave the defendant a reasonable time
in which to make payment.
In the case of Nick Gerbinski, a
labor organizer, also convicted at the
September term of court. for inciting
to riot at a meeting of miners in the
neighborhood of Osceola Mills, and
for whom a motion for a new trial
was pending, the motion was with-
drawn and the court sentenced Mr.
Gerbinski to pay the costs in the case
and further stated that if at any time
in the future he appeared in the role
of an organizer in either Centre or
Clearfield counties he would have him
brought into court for further sen-
tence.
