| GAS PLANT FRANCHISE
‘the
ASKED OF COUNCIL.
Plant, Piping and Equipment to Cost
Almost Half a Million
Dollars.
Robert F. Hunter appeared before
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil, on Monday evening, to ask for a
franchise for furnishing Bellefonte
with gas from a plant to be erected
en a proposed site near the railroad
station at Pleasant Gap. Mr. Hunter
explained that the plant would be
erected to furnish gas to residents of
Bellefonte, Pleasant Gap, Rockview
penitentiary, Lemont and State Col-
lege, as well as all persons living
along the line who may desire to use
it. He assured council that he has
secured the necessary financial back-
ing, and that every arrangement has
been made to begin work just as soon
as the necessary franchises can be se-
cured. An ordinance was presented
to council providing for the franchise
and read for the first time. It had
been prepared by attorneys for the
capitalists backing the project and
had the approval of the borough solic-
itor. The ordinance provided for a
franchise for a period of fifty years.

The delay in the opening has been
caused by the failure of the company

for Mr. Fretz to make a trip to Phil-
adelphia and ‘arrange with another
firm for the necessary equipment.
The pipe organ was moved from
the Scenic to the State theatre, last
week, and was given a thorough test
by Miss Bernice Crouse. There had
been some speculation, during the re-
modeling of the theatre, as to wheth-
er the acoustic properties of the old
theatre would be damaged by the pro-
nounced changes made on the inter-

Penn State Co-eds Miss Their Prac-
tice Baby. :
r—
for the group of half a dozen Penn
State home economics co-eds when
they started their six weeks of resi-
dence in the homemaking practice
house on the campus with the opening
of the second semester.
{ It was because Harold, the less than
a year old idol of the “Hillcrest”
practice house, the baby that rules
over 30 “foster mothers” who give
him every attention during the year,
had declared a holiday by developing
{a ticklish throat and an inclination to
spend a week in the college infirmary.
Harold’s cold permitted his return
to the practice house and his six “new
mothers” Wednesday, and the co-ed
cottage got into its usual xoutine
which always includes the care of an
(infant. The girls are seniors in home
economics, and before they graduate
all such students have opportunity to
learn the scientific management of a
home. A baby from an orphanage or
.one borrowed from parents unable to
"provide for it, completes the home.
Needless to say, Harold had a fine
lunch and a hearty welcome when he
returned to Hillcrest on Wednesday.

Catholic Ladies will Hold Big Bazaar.
For the past month the ladies of St.
John’s Catholic parish have been pre-
paring for what they consider will be
the greatest bazaar ever held in
Bellefonte. Over on hundred ladies
have been devoting their time to this
worthy cause. The result is that an
immense number of articles will be
on display. No matter what may
be desired, from a radio to a cake,
may be secured there. Fancy work
of all kinds may be had. Home made
cakes, by the best bakers in town,
will be there in abundance. As all
articles have been donated the prices
will be fixed to fit every pocketbook.
No special sale can compete with
the prices at this bazaar. Musie and
amusements will entertain and e x -
cellent refreshments may be had.
This bazaar will be held in the Knights

18th. Make a note of it if you wish
