At a congregational meeting, on Tuesday evening, the treasurer, Miss Olive Mitchell, reported that every obligation has been met and they have money in the treasury.

Following a terrific down- pour of rain, on Saturday night, the mercury dropped rapidly and snow flakes fluttered through the air by Sunday morning. Easter day was fair and sunshiny, but too cool for a proper display of spring finery. The weather continued cold the forepart of the week, with occasional flurries of snow. —Mrs. W. W. Witmer, of Belle- fonte, who has been practically blind for two years as the result of cata- tacts on her eyes, last week submitted to an operation, at the Altoona hos- pital.

After dinner he suggest- ed an automobile ride and the girl and her brother accompanied him in the car, the girl driving. Going down a. hill, between Lock Haven and Jer- sey Shore, a tire blew out with the result that the car overturned into the mud alongside the road. Passing yAutomobilists picked them up and took them to the Jersey Shore hos- pital. Frederick was . considerably stunned and the girl had quite a cut on one hand from the glass of the broken windshield, while her brother escaped injury. Frederick remained in the hospital until Monday when he returned home, apparently none the worse for the mishap. Aside from a broken windshield and fender the car, a Chrysler, was not greatly damaged. Fred Kurtz, of Lewisburg, went to Jersey Shore and drove the car under its own power to Lewisburg to have it repaired. til Later in Month. After hearing close to a score of fore Public Service Thursday afternoon until notice by Commissioner Young. was adverse to sitting on Good Fri- day, and his original suggestion was moment. During the two days the hearing Bellefonte Central were heard, and the company still has a list of ten or more to put on the stand in direct examination. When they have all been heard the Pennsylvania will have i Bellefonte Central will then have the ‘right to present evidence in rebuttal. | Naturally the gist of the testimony so far presented dealt with the ur- ‘gent need for a railrcad through the line presenting good arguments to ‘that end. On cross-evamination at- torney Ward, for the Pennsylvania | railroad, sought to show that existing irailroad facilities are ample for all the needs of State College or the community through which the line ; will operate. Prisoners Cleaning and Painting the Court House. The services of prisoners in the | Centre county jail have been utilized ‘by the county commissioners in clean- ing, painting and decorating the in- terior of the court house—the various + offices, corridors and main court room .—and the work is so nearly completed that the men must be given credit for , doing a good job, one that will com- {pare very favorably with the work ,of experienced painters. | Early in the winter the old board of county commissioners asked tor bids for cleaning and painting the various offices, corridor and stairways on the first floor of the building and the best bid they could get was close ito a thousand dollars. They then con- :ceived the idea of employing prison- ers in the county jail to do the work, offering to pay them 80 cents an hour, with the understanding that out of the money thus earned the prisoners were to pay any fines and costs that might be standing against them. This work cost approximately $285.00, ac- cording to the county statement re- cently published. The new board of county commis- sioners solicited bids for cleaning and painting the main court room and the library and the bids ran from $1000 to $1100. Profiting by the experience of the old board they decided to have the work done by the prisoners, and now it is almost completed and they figure the entire cost will be less than four hundred dollars, a decided sav- ing in expense and a job that will last about as long as if the paint had been applied by professionals. Trout Fishermen Will be Out in Force Next Monday. Every one of the several thousand trout fishermen is hoping for nice i weather, next Monday morning, for the opening of the season. All of them have their fishing parapher- nalia in order to hie away to their fa- vorite fishing hole on one of the nu- merous trout streams in the county, and, of course, they will go with con- fident anticipations of making a good catch. The one drawback that will con- front the fishermen, next Monday, will be the high water, not a favor- able condition for good fly fishing. But to those who will stick to fly we want to say that during the warm days last week the trout in Spring creek were jumping at a brown fly, which were quite plentiful on the wat- er. Bait fishermen who use worms ought to have no trouble in finding an ample supply of bait, as the black- head night crawlers are very plen- { tiful and unusually large and fat for i this time of year. Academy Minstrels. The Bellefonte Academy Minstrels as advertised, will be given on May 124, As a feature of this popular annual entertainment a “Beauty Pageant” will be staged, to which invitations, through the newspapers, are extend- ‘ed to all young women of Centre coun- (ty, sixteen years of age or older, to become competitors for the three priz- es offered by Mr. James R.

All young women who desire to be- come entrants are asked to communi- cate with Miss Helen E, C. Overton to arrange for further developments. | | | | | Debt. At a dinner given at the Y. M.

SWIMMING POOL OPENED. The Y was jammed to the limits, on Wednesday evening, for the official - | opening of the swimming pool be- cause of the double attraction, the re- habilitated Y and Frank Wetzler’s new Boys’ band. The Y has been repeatedly described in this paper but . the band was a revelation. Eighty- four boys, some of them hardly “knee high to a grasshopper,” playing their band instruments with the ease and smoothness of any adult, was another vevelation of the wonderful patience and perseverance of Mr. Wetzler as an instructor. Of course, the boys have not yet ventured into the classics, but they have a good repertoire of pieces on their program and were loudly applauded for each rendition. The program was carried off iden- tical with that published in last week’s Watchman and when the pool was thrown open to swimmers gen- erally quite a number availed them- selves of the opportunity to take a plunge. ———— lp nee Sts —Living room furniture at all priec- es. 30 suites to pick from.—West Co. 15-1 Declamatory Contest Held at the Bellefonte Academy.

Kissell and Jim Pinge, both of Bellefonte, took an automobile ride down Bald Eagle valley in the former’s Nash car. On the sharp curve just this side of Howard, Mr. Kissell, who was driving, failed to make the turn quick enough and crashed into a telephone pole with force enough to break it off. Both men were knocked out and were brought to the Centre County hospit- al where it was discovered that aside from the shock their injuries were not as serious as at first supposed. Kis- sell sustained a deep cut on the right side of his face and:a number of bruises and abrasions, while Pinge re- ceived a broken nose and some minor cuts and bruises. After receiving proper attention both men were able to go to their homes. The car was bad- ly wrecked. —If it’s a living room, see West Co. We can save you money. 15-1t —Two former Bellefonte boys are putting up a hot fight for the Legis- lative nomination in Mifflin county. They are A. Lester Sheffer, a son of Mrs. Samuel Sheffer, of Bellefonte, and Amos G. Cole. Mr. Sheffer, who is in charge of the limestone opera- tions at Naginey, is after a third term and has quite a following. Mr. Cole is a plant engineer of the Standard Steel company, at Burham, and has for some years been one of the Re- publican leaders in Mifflin county.

Now Practically Out of Comumnity Orchestra Concert a Very : Delightful Entertainment. Bellefonte people who are partial to good music, and who failed to at- tend the public concert given by the Bellefonte Community orchestra, un- der the direction of Mrs. Dorothy B. Schad, in the court house on Wednes- day evening, missed one of the best entertainments that has been given in Bellefonte in many years. The pro- gram included familiar and popular music with just enough of the clas- sical to give it fone and balance, and every one of the thirty or more mem~ | bers of the organization displayed a ; musical finesse of a professional char- | acter. Renditions especially worthy of program; Paul Crust’s cornet solo, “Le Secret,” and his response to an encore. “Drink to Me Only with { Thine Eyes.” His rendition of the | latter was unusually excellent. The “Serenade d’Amour” and the “Hun- i garian Dance,” came in for plaudits | of appreciation while the violin duet, “Gypsy Dance,” by John Dubbs and ‘Orvis Harvey was a beautiful musical symposium and enthusiastically ap- plauded by the appreciative audience. , The program was well-balanced from I start to the closing number, “Ole South,” a musical medley "which brought forth many expressions of “delight and also regret that the feast "of music had come to and end. To Mrs. Schad belongs all the cred- it for giving to Bellefonte a musical organization capable of ziving such rare public performances. Every | Thursday evening during the long ‘winter season she has drilled her young men and young ‘vomen at the parish house of St. John’s Episcopal church, with painstaking carefulness, and now that they have evolved from the practice stage tn public perform- ers she has just cause for gratifica- tion. Every member of the orchestra is deserving of commendation for their perseverance and determination, without which they could not have risen to the success they have now at- tained.. The members of the orches- tra are as follows: Violin I—John Dubbs, Orvis Har- vey, Sara Garbrick, Graham Hughes, Pearl Garbrick, Jacob Bottorf, Mat- thew Klena. Violin II—Clarence Owens, Grace Stover, Herman McClure, Margaret Samuel Noll, Isabel Jodon. Mandolin—Russell Blair, Elizabeth Baney. Cello—Charles Bauserman.

Funeral of Charles Fahr and Two Sons Largely Attended. The triple funeral of Charles Fahr and his two small sons, killed in an auto wreck on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad at Unionville, on Wednesday of last week was held at Julian, Sun- day afternoon. The services were in the United Brethren church, of which Mr. Fahr was a member, and were in charge of the regular pastor, Rev. Ritchey. It was, without doubt, the largest funeral ever held in that sec- tion of the county, as the church was not large enough to hold half the people in attendance. Burial was made in the Oak Ridge cemetery above Unionville, The three boys injured at the same time the father and two young boys were killed, namely: Merrill, Howard and LeRoy, had so far recovered from their injuries that they were able to leave the hospital on Saturday even- ing and follow their father and broth- ers to their graves on Sunday. The condition of Mrs. Fahr, however, still continues quite serious, but there are now hopes of her recovery, but it will be slow and tedious. —Fishing season opens next Mon- day.
