The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Centre
= County Hospital.
“Do the people of Centre county
appreciate their hospital 7”
This question was fired point-blank
- at W. H. Brown, energetic business
‘manager, as he sat in his office dis-
cussing the many unique services
rendered to the public by the hospital.
“Yes, I am sure a great many of
them do, especially after they have
come into an intimate acquaintance
with the real good it is accomplishing
in the community,” he smilingly an-
swered. “Take, for instance, the mem-
bers of th: Women’s Auxiliary; there
is no limit to the good they are doing,
and you know the more a person does
for a good cause, the more he appre-
ciates it.”
“What is the Women’s Auxiliary ?”
I queried, dubiously; “what can the
women do to aid a hospital ?”
Just at this moment a sprightly,
bright-faced young: lady appeared at
the office door and said: “Will I dis-
turb you, Mr. Brown? I have brought
you the bundle of towels you were
needing, and there will be another
bundle to-morrow. We also have a
quantity of gowns made which you can
have whenever you need them.”
“We are in need of them now,” he
answered, “but we can get along until
you come again.”
“No, you shall not wait; I'll run
right over to the house and bring
them now,” and she disappeared to
return in a few minutes with a larger
bundle which she smilingly deposited |
on the desk. When she was gone
another lady came in and delivered a
package containing pillow slips.
“This is your answer,” said Brown.
“The ladies are always helping, and
we could not conduct the hospital sue-
cessfully without them. The pillow
slips are to be used
which were provided and are kept up
by Mrs. Sylvester A. Bixler, of Waban,
Massachusettes, by the assistance of
Miss Mary Linn, of Bellefonte. The
towels were furnished by the Women’s
Auxiliary, and their gifts and services |
You would be sur- |
prised to know how much real social |
are always useful.
service they have rendered in some
needy cases and how their visits bring
good cheer to the patients.”
I remembered that it was the Flor-
ence Nightingales and Clara Bartons
of the past who really made the his-
on the five beds |
i
tory of benevolent hospital service, so
I resolved to acquaint myself with the
workings of the Women’s Auxiliary.
That little group of philanthropic
citizens, who met back in 1902 to
organize a hospital association for
Bellefonte and surrounding territory
were quick to comprehend the need of
a woman’s touch to make an institu-
tion of that character more homelike,
and they included the following para-
graph in the By-Laws adopted August
20, 1902: “Article VI. Women’s Aux-
iliary. Section 1. There shall be a
board of visitors consisting of women
representing each of the churches in
Bellefonte, said representatives to be
chosen by the churches represented
and to constitute the Women’s Auxil-
iary of the hospital.
The churches responded promptly
and the little band of women thus ap-
pointed met and organized to plan and
work for the comfort and assistance
of patients who were compelled to go
to the hospital for treatment. When
the association grew to embrace the
entire county the organization of
women was enlarged accordingly.
This Women’s Auxiliary has grown
until it now numbers almost 900 of
the most public spirited women of the
county—a little army of sympathetic,
active women, who labor quietly and
unostentatiously, but who are always
on the job. Their friends are friends
of the hospital.
Mrs. Ebon B. Bower, of Bellefonte,
is president of the Auxiliary; Mrs. W.
Harrison Walker is secretary, and
Mrs. William J. Emerick, is treasurer
for 1927. Official representatives from
the various communities are as fol-
lows: Miss Mary Blanchard, Mrs. M,
E. Brouse, Mrs. R. R. Blair, Murs.
Frank Crawford, Mrs. Howard Dry,
Mrs. Joseph Hogentogler, Mrs. Wil-
liam Katz, Mrs. James Massey, Mrs.

Mrs. Jacob Hoy, Mrs. Joseph Apt,
Mrs. Reed O. Steely, Mrs. Edward
Young, Misses Mary Meek and Marga-
ret Stewart, of Bellefonte; Mrs.

Frank Fisher, Centre Hall; Mrs. W.

Ralph Musser and Miss Gertrude Mil-
ler, Pennsylvania “Furnace; Mrs.
James Irwin and Mrs. W. R. Ham, of
Boalsburg. These named constitute
the board of the Auxiliary,
These good women are some of the
busiest people of our county—the
women who really accomplish things
in their homes, churches and com-
munities in which they live. It .is a
well known maxim: “If you want a job
done well, get a’ busy person to do it.”
They always find a place to sandwich
in another little job and whatever they
undertake, they do it well.
I was then shown into the almost
completed meeting room on the
ground floor “of the new wing. A
spacious, pleasant room which will be
open for the meetings of this Auxil-
ty Medical Society as well as the hos-
pital trustees. But imagine my amaze-
ment when I was told that this organ-
ization of tireless women had furnisn-
ed the funds not only to plaster, floor,
wire and finish this room, but furnish
it with twenty-some wonderful com-
fortable chairs and two large tables.
You may well
women’s organization.
Space will not permit us to tell of
the hundreds of donations of canned
fruits, vegetables, groceries and many
other commodities they have secured,
and which were needed at the hospital,
throughout the history of the Auxil-
iary; and while such gifts do not suf-
fice tc amortize the deficits accruing
from time to time, they greatly aid in
rendering the hospital a much more
serviceable and comfortable institu-
tion. wo

ENGLER.—Rev. Stuart H. Engler,
pastor of the Methodist church at Port
Matilda the past two years, died very
suddenly at his home in that place,
about eight o'clock on Monday morn-
ing. He was on the point of leaving
the parsonage to go down town when
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and
fell to the floor unconscious, dying
almost immediately.
He was born at Bethlehem, Pa., on
May 30th, 1864, hence was not quite
sixty-three years old. He was ad-

of his ministry had served pastorates
at Liberty Valley, Laporte, Medix
Run, Pleasant Gap, Glen Campbell,
Schellburg, Glenn Hope, Three
Springs and at the recent conference
had been returned for his third year
at Port Matilda.
Misfortune has recently befell mem-
bers of the Engler family. Two days
before Christmas Theodore Engler, a
son, was badly injured in an automo-
bile accident in which another young
man was killed. Three weeks ago a
little daughter suffered a knee injury
while roller skating and last week
while playing at school a small son
broke both arms between the elbow
and wrist.

and four children, Mrs. Jesse Kephart,
of Altoona; Theodore, Lucretia and
Ivan, at home.

Supreme Court Ruling on Walker Note
Favors Spring Mills Bank.
The Supreme court, last week, ren-
dered a decision in the case of S. G.
Walker vs. The First National Bank
of Spring Mills in which the verdict
of the Centre county court (Judge
Dale presiding) was reversed and
judgment ordered for the defendant.
The case is an aftermath of a
swindle perpetrated on the bank by
W, C. McFeaters, who secured $5000
worth of Liberty bords without pay-
ment therefore. S. G. Walker was
cashier at the time and gave a note
for $5000 which was entered of record,
burse the bank against-loss. through i
action of certain parties in Pittsburgh.
Suit for recovery was brought against’
the bank by another party, judgment
obtained and - satisfied, after which
Mr. Walker instituted proceedings to
have his judgment set aside and J udge
Dale decided the case in his favor.
The Supreme court concludes that
the note given by Mr. Walker is good
and valid for the claim of the bank
and ordered the judgment reindexed
and restated on the Centre county
records. ;

The Man Who is Good Pay.
Robert Quillen for Publishers Syndicate.
You hear it said of a certain man
that he is “good pay,” that he pays
reluctantly, and that you must ding-
dong at him for months in order to
get your due from him, but that he is
good for the sum of his debts and will
pay in full when he must.
Here, then, is a rascal.
Will you say of a truthful man that
he is truthful, but that it is difficult
to get the truth from him? Will you
say of another that he is honorable,
but it is difficult to persuade him to
do the honorable thing?
Either he speaks the truth and does
what is honorable by training and by
nature, or he does not. If he does these

Her husband has heen dead a num- |

sons and three daughters, William H. |
Keller, of Philadelphia; Robert J o. of |
Pittsburgh; Mrs. George Metz, of
Pittsburgh; Mrs. J. E. Geary, of Craf- |
ton, and Miss Katherine Keller, of In- |
gram. She also leaves two brothers,
David A. Boozer, of Centre Hall; and |
John Boozer, of Osceola Mills. The |
funeral was held on Monday, burial |
being made at Ingram.

things to escape jail or the condem-
nation of his fellows, he is merely an
expedient man. He has no acquaint-
ance with honor. There is no virtue in
him, but only discretion. |

heart you know that you haven't a
ghost of a chance to come clean. The
whole truth is that you mortgaged
your honor to get a cake to which
you were not entitled, and now, to
save your self-respect, you pretend
that a fairy will appear to save you
before the day of reckoning.
There isn’t any honorable way to
live beyond your income—not one. You
aren’t fooling yourself. In your se-
cret heart you know whether you will
be able to pay for the things you buy.
And if you know you won’t be able to
pay, the difference between you and
your “Charge it,” and the theif who
snatches a fur from the counter is
your imagination.
