Mississippi Relief Contributions Still .
Needed.
Notwithstanding the fact that .

there hundred dollars contributions |
will still be received, as the President
has doubled the quota and placed
Bellefonte’s share at $2,000. Charles
McCurdy is the treasurer of the re-
lief fund and all contributions should
be made to him or the county chair-
man of the Red Cross, Hard P. Har-
ris. For the benefit of the fund a
picture will be shown at the Scenic
Thursday evening of next week, and
probably one the week after at the
Richelieu.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
announces that it will carry free all !
contributions of clothing, material,
ete., made for the benefit of the flood
sufferers.
Boy’s Week to be Observed Here.
At a meeting held on Monday even-
ing at the Y. M. C. A. temporary
plans were laid to promote a Boy's
Week in Bellefonte. The program
for the week May 29 to June 4th, is
now being arranged and will be an-
nounced next week. There will be
events for the boys and girls during
the entire week. Some of the events
to be put on are a marble champion-
ship, track and field meet, horseshoe
pitching championship, hopscotch and
jacks championships, relay race, and
many other interesting events. Watch
next week’s papers for the full de-
tails.
The annual commencement ex-
ercises of the Centre County hospital
training school for nurses will be held
in the court house, on Friday even-
ing, May 13, at 8:15 o’clock. A re-
ception at the nurse’s home will fol-
low. The class comprises only three
young ladies this year. They are the
Misses Helen Julia Bohn, of Centre
Hall; Margaret Reynolds Longwell, of
Bellefonte, R. F. D., and Bessie Mc-
Donald, of Curwensville.
The evenings are still cool and
long enough to make indoor enter-
tainment enjoyable and there is one
place in Bellefonte where you can al-
ways find something worthwhile, and
that the Scenic. The best motion pic-
tures made can be seen there any
night in the week, and if you are a
movie fan the Scenic is the place to
go. Be a regular and see them all. .
berger, a native of Bellefonte and
president of the First National bank,
of Philipsburg, passed away at 8:30
o'clock last Saturday morning. He
had not been in good health for some
years but the day previous to his
death was apparently no worse than
usual. But on Friday night ke show-
ed evidences of weakening and grad-
ually grew worse until the end.
He was a son of Capt. Charles T.
and Mary Brachbill Fryberger and
was born in Bellefonte on February
7th, 1870, hence was 56 years, 2
months and 23 days old. When a boy
the family moved to Philipsburg and
it was there he was educated in the
public schools. When but seventeen
years old, or in 1887, he accepted a
clerkship in the old Moshannon Bank-
ing company which later became the
First National bank. In 1903 he was
promoted to the position of cashier
and on the retirement of L. W. Nut-
tall as president, in 1925, Mr. Fry-
berger was chosen to succeed him. In
a great measure he possessed the two
particular traits which make for a
good, safe bank official, sound busi-
ness judgment and proper discrimina-
tion. He was a man whose opinion
was frequently sought in financial
dealings and always cheerfully given.
In addition to his banking activi-
ties he tock an active interest in
every movement that meant the up-
building of Philipsburg but never be-
came entangled in any enterprise that
might in any way compromise his
position in the bank.
He was a member of St. Paul’s
Episcopal church and had recently
been elected a vestryman. He was a
member of Moshannon Lodge No.
391 Free and Accepted Masons, the
Knights Templar, Williamsport Con-
sinstory and Zembo Shrine. He be-
longed to the Philipsburg club, the
Philipsburg Country club and the Re-
liance Fire company, serving as
treasurer of the Fireman’s Relief As-
sociation.
Philipsburg has suffered a very
great loss in the passing of Mr. Fry-
berger. From boyhood he had lived
there, known her people, her civic and
business life and was helpfully inter-
ested in it all. Though sheer force of
character he won his way to the head
of one of the strongest banking insti-
tutions in Central Pennsylvania and
to the esteem and confidence of every-
one who came in contact with him.
His ‘was not a forward nature. He
shrank from ostentation, but his
clear, cool mind and warm heart were
such valuable assets to Philipsburg
and her people that memory will ever
write his name, side by side, with
those who have done most for the
town that is in mourning today.
On June 27th, 1900, he married
Miss Caroline Chase McGaffey who
survives with one son and two daugh-
ters, George McGaflfey Fryberger, a
student at Princeton; Misses Mary
Louise and Alice Nuttall Fryberger,
both studénts at Smith College, in
Massachusetts. He also leaves his
father, Capt. C. T. Fryberger; his
step-mother and the following step-
brothers and sisters; Mahlon Fyher-
ger, of Detroit, Mich.; William, of
Cleveland, Ohio; Philip, of German-
i town, Pa.; Mrs. W. D. Twitmire, of
{ Lancaster; Mrs. A. F. Tydeman, of
LaGrange, Ill.; and Mrs. Fred Hoffer,
of Philipsburg.
| Funeral services were held at St.
[Peubs Episcopal church, Philipsburg,
"at 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon,
| by Rev. F. T. Eastment, burial being
i made in the Philipsburg cemetery.

Side,” under the direction of Charles
' B. Dillingham.

and an entire change in the musical
numbers will take place on the second

There are eighteen musicians in the
organization and the programs they
have arranged will include a wide
variety of musical entertainment.
Those who have previously heard
them will realize what a treat there is
in store for local music lovers next
week, for “Warings” are recognized
as one of the best orchestras in the
United States. Their repertoire is so
varied that it is possible to hear them
over and over again, each time with
added enjoyment.

Man Found with Throat Cut.
The usually quiet town of Wood-
ward had somewhat of a sensation
last Saturday afternoon when the
body of an unidentified man was
found in the woods near Hairy John’s
| park. The man’s throat had been cut
and there was also a bullet hole in
the head. ' A revolver was found lying
beside the body. No papers were
' found in the pockets of the man’s
“clothing and the only thing that may
eventually help with his identification
are initial letters on the revolver.
The body was found just east of the
Centre—Union county line, and
Union county authorities are conduct-
ing an investigation.
