habitants who can easily recall that
the place where the Bush Arcade now
stands was at one time a deep ravine
and High street ran down to a ford
on Spring creek, there being no bridge
at that time.

RAILROAD DOOMED
TO THE SCRAP PILE.
Ferguson Township People Protest
Abandonment of Lewishurg
and Tyrone Line.
A hearing was held before the Pub-
lic Service Commission, in Harris-
burg, on Tuesday of last week, or the
application of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company to abandon that portion
of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad
from Stover to Fairbrook, a distance |
of approximately fourtean miles. Pro-
tests were presented at the hearing |
from residents of Warriorsmark val-
ley and Ferguson township, in the
western end of Centre county, who are
solely dependent on the road for all
their freight shipments, both out-go-
ing and incoming.
The railroad company, however,
contends that the average daily
freight shipments between Stover ard
Fairbrook, the terminus of the line, is
only two carloads, and on that the
company is losing money. The pro-
testants, however, claim that it is il-
logical to abandon a portion of the
line and that the revenue from the
paying section (that portion of the
road from Tyrone to Stover) is suf-
ficient to make a small profit on the
whole road. The. question, however,
is now before the Public Service Com-
mission and upon its decision rests
the fate of the road.
The Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad
was built through to Pennsylvania
Furnace almost forty years ago. In
fact it was in August, 1879, when it
was opened for traffic. At that time
Pennsylvania Furnace was in full
operation. Several years later the
late Andrew Carnegie took over the
cperation of the furnace and also se-
cured the rights to the iron ore at
Scotia. The road was then extended
to Scotia and subsequently a spur was
run into the Juniata ore mines at
Tow Hill, which had also been leased
by the Carnegie interests.
With the building of the Bellefonte
furnace in the latter eighties the Buf-
falo Run railroad was built through
to State College and a branch line ex-
tended to Scotia. Both Bellefonte
furnaces have gone to the scrap heap
and also Pennsylvania Furnace, The
Juniata ore mines were long ago work-
ed out and the Scotia mines have been
abandoned these many years. In fact
only a very few houses now remain
at Scotia, where ‘once was a thriving
little town, and an effort was made
at the last session of the Legislature to
recreate it as a permanent camp
grounds for the National guard but
Mt. Gretna people voiced such a strong
protest that the bill was killed in com-
mittee.
Thirty years or more ago the Lew-
isburg and Tyrone was a good feeder
for the Pennsylvania but today its
freight shipments are wholly depend-
ent on the farming communities
through which it passes, while its
passenger traffic is nil, owing to the
universal use of motor busses and
automobiles.
Highway Department to Build Cutoff
to State College.
The Watchman has it on good au-
thority that one or more residents of
Lemont have heen informed by letter
from Highway Commissioner James
I. Stuart that the department has
definitely decided to build the much-
discussed “cutoff” north of that town
to shoiten and straighten the main
highway to State College. And this,
‘notwithstanding the many strong pro-
tests made by the business people of
Lemont. The Highway Commission-
er, however, gave assurance that the
present road through Lemont will be
maintained in good shape so that mo-
torists desiring to travel that route
can do so.
As stated several weeks ago the
new cutoff will leave the present road
at or near the road running into
Houserville and will pass through the
Tressler, Frank Wasson and Jesse
Klinger farms, coming out onto the
present road at the west side of the
Klinger farm. The new piece of road
will be a little over a mile long, and
in this distance there will be three
bridges, a stretch of swampy, meadow
land and a deep cut through a hill.
The new road will of course relieve
heavy traffic through the village of
Lemont but the people of that town
fear that it will also relieve them of
considerable business that they are
now getting.
RE —
Building a Highway Through Bear
Meadows.
The State Highway Department has
a force of men at work with caterpil-
lar tractors and road plows, steam
shovels, ete., opening up a right-of-
way for a state highway through the
Bear Meadows into the State lands in
the deep fastnesses of the Seven
mountains. The road goes in at or
near the McFarlane farm, just below
Boalsburg, passes through the histor-
ic bear meadows and crosses toward
Belleville, Mifflin county. Just how
deep into the mountain the road will
be built is not yet known. It is un-
derstood, however, that it will be of
the regulation width of twenty feet,
and when graded will be macadamized
and oiled.
——Max Kofman, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Nathan Kofman, who is under-
going treatment in a New York hos-
pital, had another bad spell last Fri-

his mother to New York. Mr. Kof-
man has been with his son almost
constantly since he was taken to the |

Community Nursing Service for Month
a of June.
- The second of the series of mental
health clinics was held in the Red
Cross, office, in Petrikin hall, on June
15th. Dr. Willey, psychiatrist, and
Miss Hackbush Ph. D., of the State
department of mental welfare, con-
ducted the clinic, examining six chil-
dren. . These patients were referred
to, the clinic by various welfare or-
ganizations of the town as a more
reliable means of meeting the needs
of each individual. Miss Janet Potter
and Miss Prescott were a great help
in the success of the day by using
their cars to convey patients to the
examiners.
During the month the community
nurse, Miss Anna Fairfax McCauley,
was kept: on the go all the time, as is
evidenced from the following report
of her work: Twelve visits in the in-
terest of babies under one year of
age; six pre-natal visits; two visits to
communicable disease patients; five
pre-school visits (instructive); thirty-
six nursing visits to eight sick pa-
tients; eighteen hours of industrial

! Bellefonte High School’s New Athletic
N\ Coach.
Nellefonte people interested in ath-
leticx at the High school naturally
regretted the loss from the faculty of
coach J. N. Riden, when it was an-
nounced that he had decided to’ accept
an offer to go to Sunbury the coming |
year. Mr. Riden’s successor will be
C."C. Bream Jr., of Gettysburg, who
recently graduated at Gettysburg col-
lege. :
Mr. Bream is an all-around athlete,
having played on his college football,
baseball and basket ball teams. . In
| fact he was the only ‘three letter man
in that college. In the football game
against Dickinson last year he made
a run of 90 yards for a touchdown.
Aside from his athletic prowess Mr.
Bream is regarded as the type of
young man who can teach and inspire
youth to its best endeavors. For
four years he has had charge of the
playgrounds and child entertainment
.in Gettysburg and the people of that
city are loathe to see him leave.

I
ps
“ter
Betty Shope, eight year old daugh-
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Shope, of
Altoona, had a narow escape from
| serious injury in an auto accident, at
Port Matilda on Sunday. The family
were visiting at Port Matilda and as
the girl was in the act of crossing the
state highway she was struck by a
car said to have been from Bellefonte,

driver of the car was able to stop his
machine just as the wheel of the car
touched her neck.
She was unconscious when picked
up and was brought to the Centre
County hospital where she regained
consciousness while being examined
by a physician. For several min-
utes she was temporarily blind but
soon regained her sight and except
for some body bruises and shock was
little the worse for her experience
She was taken to her home in Altoona
on Sunday evening.
——The weather is still cool enough
to enjoy the evenings indoors, and for
good entertainment and amusement
go to the Scenic and see the ‘motion
pictures. The big programs shown
there cannot be seen anywhere élse in
Bellefonte. The pictures are all new
and up-to-date, the very best produc-
tions of the leading studios ‘in this
country and abroad. And ‘the only
way to see them all is‘to be a regular.
