Second Annual Membership Drive for
Centre County Hospital.
Pursuing the idea inaugurated and
established in May of last year, the
members of the corporation of the
Centre County hospital, together with
the Board of Trustees and a commit-
tee of enthusiastic women and men
friends and workers, the second annu-
al contribution and membership drive
will be started on May 12th.
As you know, May 12th is National
Hospital day, which will be extensive-
ly observed all over the United States.
This day your thoughts and good will
should be concentrated on your hos-
pital.
This year the membership drive for
your hospital will be under the lead-
ership of John S. Sommerville, of
Bellefonte. Mr. Sommerville will be
aided by a committee of leading wom-
en and men, both in Bellefonte and
throughout the portion of the county
served by the Centre County hospital.
An energetic corps of workers, head-
ed by a local captain, is being organ-
ized in the country districts. Every
locality will be organized so that on
the day following Sunday, May 12th,
you will be visited by one of these
workers who will receive your mem-
bership contribution to your hospital.
Once a year your hospital asks for
financial aid. You should look at this
in the way of hospital insurance. By
paying an annual membership fee you
help insure that there will be a hos-
pital near and available should you
suddenly become in need of one. Think
of what the service may mean to you
or one of your loved ones if some mal-
ady or accident should suddenly put
you in urgent need of such service.
You will not hesitate if you will think
of hospital insurance.
At the time you are visited the
solicitor will have copies of the year-
ly report of your hospital’s activities,
both financial and in the line of serv-
ice rendered for the year past—1927.
This has beeen published by the board
of trustees for your specific informa-
tion. Read it and vou will be able to
talk intelligently of the work and pro-
gress of your hospital. The book al-
so contains a number of pictures of
the interior of the hospital which
makes it doubly interesting. The
names of last year’s members are in-
cluded. ”
Two Girls Injured on Road by Auto
Vehicles.
Two young girls are in the Centre
County hospital with serious injuries
as the result of being hit by auto
vehicles on the public road, but in
neither instance was the driver at
fault.
The first accident occured near the
Evangelical church, on Thursday even-
ing. Dorothy Lewis, fourteen-year-
old daughter of Mr and Mrs. William
Lewis, of Willowbank street, attempt-
ed to cross from the church to the
bridge just as a car driven by a young
men named Gummo, who works for
the Nittany garage, State College,
came out the back road. When she
saw the car coming she attempted to
run back then became so confused
that she stopped right in front of
the machine, with the result that she
was knocked down, the car passing
over her right leg and fracturing the
bone. The driver did everything pos-
sible to avoid hitting the girl and the
fact that he stopped his car within
ten feet is evidence that he was not
running fast.
The other girl injured was May
Isabelle Miller, twelve year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Miller, who live out near the Jewisn
cemetery. She was riding a bicycle
on the road and just as a big truck
loaded with limestone came along she
fell from her wheel right against the
truck. She managed to grab hold of
the fender on the truck and thus kept
i from being run over, but was dragged
along the roadway until the driver
was able to stop. She sustained a
deep laceration on her left leg and a
badly injured knee but whether the
bone is fractured or not has not been
determined at this writing. She also
sustained a number of bruises. Her
presence of mind in grabbing hold of
the truck probzbly saved her life.

years Mr. Bailay has been commercial

ager of the Keystone division.
The position of commercial mana-
ger will now be divided into two new
positions, that of sales manager and
that of merchandising manager.

department, of Pittsburgh, has been
appointed sales manager with head-
quarters at Ridgway. He will as-

N. E. Hess Leaves for Hunting 'I'rip
in Alaska.
Newton FE. Hess is off on another
hunting trip and the only thing that
will satisfy him this time is to bring
back from the wilds of Alaska the
pelt of a kadiak bear, the largest
known member of the bruin family.
Mr. Hess left State College on Fri-
day and went to Altoona where he
had engaged passage for his western
trip. His first stop was at Denver,
Col., which he hoped to reach in time
to attend services at Rev. W. P. Ard’s
church on Sunday evening. From
Denver he will go. direct to Seattle,
Wash., where he will meet two hunt-
ers from Ohio, and the three men will
go from there by boat to Seward,
Alaska, where they will make their
headquarters, and from where they !
will make pilgrimages into the wilds
of the Alaskan mountains.
The hunting season during the
summer, in Alaska, is restricted to |
certain kinds of game and a limited
number, and if Mr. Hess and party
fail to meet with much success dur-
ing the summer months they will pro-
long their stay for the fall hunting
season when all restrictions are re-
moved and there is no limit on the
kill. Should they do this they will
stay there until near the close of
navigation before returning south.
In the event they do prolong their stay
Mr. Hess, on returning to the States,
will go to California for the winter,
so he may not be home before next
spring.
This is Mr. Hess’ fourth trip after
big game. His first was in the east-
ern part of the Canadian wilderness,
and the second and third in the north-
western portion of the United States.
On each trip he killed much game and
he has a room full of trophies of the
hunts at his home in State College.
NOTICE.
Within a very few days from this
date we fully expect that the charter
as well as the Public Service permit
(will be granted to the Central Penn-
isylvania Gas company, and we are
‘authorized by the principals in the
enterprise to announce to the public
that active work will be started on
the plant and distribution systems at
Bellefonte, State College and inter-
vening towns, just as quickly as the
above details with the Commonwealth
have been completed.
The public has beeen aware of the
project for some time through news-
‘paper publicity it has received, but
this is intended to give authoritive
notice that the enterprise proposed is
a fact, and it is the hope of the com-
pany, by using every energy and fa-
cility within its power, to be ready
to deliver gas to the citizens of the
above named communities by early
fall of the present year, when the
modern facilities for home heating,
water heating, gas cooking and gas
refrigeration will be placed at your
disposal.

Last Thursday’s Terriffic Wind Storm
Did Considerable Damage.
The terriffic wind storm which pre-
vailed all day, Thursday of last week,
‘did considerable damage throughout
Centre county. In Bellefonte the
damage was confined principally to
| the roofs on buildings. Out on Rey-
, nolds avenue a portion of the roof on
the G. W. Rees house was torn off.
Up on Pine street the roof on the old
Michael Hazel house was badly dam-
aged. Wooden shingles were ripped
from the roofs.of quite a number of
houses, but no great damage was done
at any one place.
The West Penn Power company
service was disrupted in several places
by crossed wires and blown down
trees, etc., and the linemen were kept
on the jump all day making repairs.
The upper portion of Bald Eagle val-
ley was the first to report a lack of
service, which was caused by broken
limbs falling on the wires.
Late in the afternoon the lower sec-
tion of Pennsvalley reported no light
and a crew was hastily sent down
there to locate the trouble. After
hunting for some time they met a
! man on the road who told them that
“a big tree had blown down over the
wires up here apiece, and maybe that
had caused the trouble.” When asked
when the tree had blown down and
why he hadn’t notified the company,
he said it had gone down several
hours ago but he “didn’t think to noti-
fy any one.”
When the crew found the place
they also found a tree almost three
feet in diameter and in falling it had
broekn down three poles and badly
bent eleven more. The crew worked
until ten o’clock clearing the wires
and restoring a portion of the serv-
ice but it was nine o'clock Friday
morning before Coburn and Aarons-
burg lines were restored.
The telephone company also had
trouble on some of its lines but
not so much as the West Penn.

Kiwanis Helps Near East Relief.
i
| The Bellefonte Kiwanis club met at
the Brockerhoff, Tuesday noon, and
was henored with the following guesis:
| Mrs. Beach, Miss Mary Linn and G.
| I. Purnell, of Bellefonte; Ralph Duns-
more, of Wilmington, Del.; B. A.
{ Cunningham, of Yonkers, N. Y.; Dr.
iJ. V. Foster and L. Russel Fisher, of
| State College; Rev. W. W. Moyer, of
, Boalsburg; Howard Thompson, of
Curwensville; Mrs. Hudson, of the
Near East relief and Miss White, the
community nurse, and Miss Cross, the
State nurse.
Bent Weaver suggested that Ki-
wanis, not as a club, but as individ-
uals, subscribe $100.00 to the Near
East relief fund to support an under-
privileged child. The sum of $120.00
was raised in about twenty minutes.
Mr. Weaver also gave a report of the
work of the committee on under-priv-
ileged children, in which the following
points were given; Philipsburg holds
a. clinic for crippled children about
every six weeks. Crippled children
from this vicinity can be examined
there free of charge if some one will
lend his car to take them over. If
treatment is needed and the parents
are not able to furnish the necessary
expenses, such expenses can be de-
frayed by an order of the courts, and
paid back by the parents when able.
Two crippled children were taken over
last week.
Miss Cross also made an appeal for
aid for the under-privileged children,
stating that much dental work is:
150 cases of tonsils and adenoids, and
several cases of eye trouble. Both
nurses, Miss Cross and Miss White,
were presented with a membership
ticket to the Y. M. C. A.
Kiwanians who had not voted by
noon were fined 25 cents each, and
the $5.00 thus collected was added to
the under-privileged fund.
The 35 or 40 old soldiers and wid-
ows, who have reached the age of 75
or over will be entertained by the
Kiwanians at a regular luncheon in
the near future. The directors of the
Kiwanis club will hold their meeting
at the Nittany Country club next Fri-
day night.
