Secretary Dorworth Addresses Inter-
ested Gathering of Kiwanians.
President Harrison Walker presid-
ed at the weekly Kiwanis luncheon,
on Tuesday, at the hotel Brockerhoff,
in his usual happy manner and kept
the interesting program moving. The
guests announced were Harold Shat-
tuck, of State College; Harry Eby,
Pleasant Gap; John Sommerville and
Herbert Beezer, of Bellefonte. Pres-
ident Walker anonunced that the war
veterans and their wives would be en-
tertained by the Kiwanis club on May
29th. Rev. Thena gave an interesting
account of the doings at the recent
divisional conference held at Altoona.
Three hundred and thirteen enthu-
siastic Kiwanians attended the ban-
quet in the evening. Arthur Sloop
announced that next week would be
observed as “Inter Club Week.” The
local club will hold a joint meeting
with the Tyrone club, at Tyrone, next
Wednesday noon. “All Kiwanis night”
will be observed by the State College
and Bellefonte clubs, at the Centre
Hills country club. John Sommer-
ville was asked by president Walker
to tell of the second annual hospital
drive of which he is the chairman.
He was much pleased with the kind-
ness and success observed on every
hand. He stressed the need of a new
ambulance and said that $1100.00 had
been pledged in personal subserip-
tions for that purpose. That is about
half of the amount needed. Hon.
Harry B. Scott has generously sent
his check for $100.00. James R.
Hughes read the report of Kiwanian
Stutsman bearing upon the adoption
of Georgian Casparian, the Armenian
boy, as the “Kiwanis Kid.” The re-
port was well received.
After the rendition of several se-
lections of music by the club, Presi-'
dent Walker introduced as the speak-
er of the hour, Hon. Charles E. Dor- i
worth, Secretary of Forests and Wat-
ers and a member of Gov. Fisher's
cabinet.: The keynote of his address
was loyalty to his home town and
home county. He spoke with a great
deal of feeling and stressed the hon- |
or and pride that were his to be
called upon to represent his commun- :
ity in such an important phase of!
State work. The leading points of his
most pleasing address were: “This
is one of eighteen major units of the
State administration. The person-
nel in the denartment totals 300 em- |
ployees. At the close of the present
biennium, on June 1st, 1929, the de-
partment will have handled $400,000.
The maintenance item for forests is
about $790,000 per year, and that for
waters about $82,000. Land purchas-
es, the acquisition of the Cook forest
and the Pymatuning conservation |
project are included in the $400,000 !
noted. Mr. Dorworth referred to the '
|the family some years ago spent | of that place, who were just starting

Emenhizer, retired minister of the
United Brethren church and a veteran
of the Civil war, passed away at his
home at Coleville last Thursday

era] collapse two weeks previous.

Abram and Catherine Hoover Emen-

for the ministry and upwards of fifty
years ago was ordained a minister in
the United Brethren church. During
his forty-one years of active pastoral
work he filled various assignments in
Centre and adjoining counties. Five
years ago, or at the age of eighty
years, he was placed on the retired
list and since that time had made his
home in Coleville.

Over 100 Famous Artists’ with Gen-
try Bros. Show.
It’s the red wagons that’s the ques-
tion of the hour in Bellefonte at least
for the small boys of six, as well as
for those of sixty. The billboards,
barns and dead walls are announcing
with all the fluency of pictorial art
the coming of the Gentry Bros.
shows. And already preparations are
being made for the one big holiday
event acknowledged to be better than
Christmas and the Fourth of July put
together—circus day. About the time
the milkman is making his rounds on
the morning of Tuesday, May 22, the
long train of cars will be coming,
slowly pulling into the railroad yards.
Much is promised by Gentry Bros.
this season, The show has grown and
prospered for almost half a century—
to be exact 41 years. European agents
have sacked the Old World in a quest
of novelties. The question of salary
was not considered for the particular
novel and hazardous act. There are
over 100 artists who take part in the
big show program. New acts and
faces will tend to eradicate the fal-
lacy that all “shows” are alike.
Among the features will be the Fly-
ing Jordans; the Maxwell Trio, gym-
nasts ; the Florence family of riders;
the DeLong Sisters, acrobats ; Arthur
Borella, the highest salaried clown in
the world; Tommy and Betty Waters,
dancers on a lofty wire; and scores
of other high-class features.

seen at noon on show day. There will
be upwards of five bands of music
and scores of allegorical tableaus.
There will be performances at 2 and
8 p. m, The doors opening an hour
earlier. Merchants and others are
preparing for one of the largest
crowds in town on show day in years.
Clearfield to Have Big Demonstra-

town will dedicate their memorial to
soldiers of all wars. The memorial

ble pedestal .representing the return
of the victorious American soldier to
resume his civil pursuits. It is the
work of Signor Morelli, the famous
Italian sculptor. The address will be
delivered by Hon. Frederick A. God-
charles, of Milton. Prior to the ad-
dress there will be a street parade
which will be made up of American |
Legion men, Troop A, 104th cavalry,
civic organizations, Etec.
In the afternoon there will be a '
mammoth military display and horse '

Changed.
A radical change in the yearly
plans of the celebrated Altoona speed-
| way was announced recently follow-
ing a special European trip of a
. speedway representative and confer-
ences with A. A. A. officials. The

as Indianapolis stages its annual 500-
mile Memorial day endurance con-
test. : ; 28 eR
{| “We have tried for the last two
years to stage this one monster event
‘annually instead of our usual Flag
day and Labor day clashes, but were
unable to go through with our plans
until we got final confirmation of our
proposals this week,” today explained
Frank P. Cramer, veteran owner of
racing cars and president of the speed-
way association.
“Pending definite word from our
European representatives, we were
compelled to go ahead with plans for
the usual Flag day event, set for
June 16 of this year, and the Labor
day race on September 3,” the sports-
man stated. “But now we have can-
celled these preliminary arrange-
ments, and our huge organization has
been augmented, working day and

—Monday’s Harrisburg Telegraph
stated that among the primary re-
turns still missing at the elections
bureau in Harrisburg were those from
Centre county. Inquiry at the com-
missioner’s office, on Tuesday, dis-
closed the fact that only that day
had they received from Harrisburg
the blanks on which to make the re-
turns, and the postmark on the
blanks showed that they had been
mailed in Harrisburg on Monday.
However, the returns had been sent
in on Saturday, on blanks made out
in the commissioners’ office.

take examinations in Williamsport
tomorrow with the purpose of qual-
ifying for license as insurance agents

in the fire section.
i While the speedway had already
placed a small army of workmen on
the massive timber bowl, getting it in
shape for the racing season, the forcz

every inch of the giant mile-and-a-
| quarter oval would have to be rein-
! forced heavily to withstand the ter-
rific concussion of the cars driven by
ithe famous international pilots on

| WORLD'S GREATEST SHOW
COMING TO ALTOONA..
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’
To Bring Monster Sea Elephant
And Other Big Features.
Yep, youngsters, it’s really true!
Meaning that a rumor heard some--
time ago is now confirmed by the of-
ficial announcement that the Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey combined
shows will positively exhibit at Al-
toona, Wednesday, May 30, .
At that time the world’s first and
only five-ring circus will be within
easy reach of local sawdust fans:
With it will come Goliath, the mon-
ster sea elephant, the only one of his
kind ever to be captured and exhib-
ited alive and who will be the fore-
most feature of a menagerie com-
posed of more than a thousand ani-
mals.
~The big show is now a third larger
than it was when it last visited this
locality. Enormous new displays have
been introduced such as ninety zebras,
camels and horses performing at one
time on 2a mammoth pedestal. On a
similar series of circular raised plat-
forms thirty-two of the show's forty-
three elephants dance, run and per-
form in unison with the topmost of
the ponderous actors twenty feet
above the ground. Prior to this gi-
gantic display five herds of elephants
appear in the five separate rings. At.
another time the rings are given over
to five companies of liberty horses.
At still another juncture of the:pro--
gram two hundred of the show’s 900
horses, each ridden by an expert, are
seen in the brilliant maneuvres.
Of the sixteen hundred people car-
ried on tour this season more than
eight hundred are the world’s fore-
most aerialists, bareback riders,
ground and lofty gymnasts, high-wire-
artists and super athletes. These are
now seen in extensive groups and
troupes each display led by its par-
ticular champions, a new method of
presentation that is in keeping with
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
1927 plan of extending acts in equal
number over the entire length of the
mammoth main tent. Little folks will’
be delighted to learn that the bring-
ing of a score of European clowns to
America has increased the funmakers
to more than a hundred.
—According to surveys completed
by the State geographical board the
highest point in the State is on Ne--
gro mountain, in Somerset county,
which is 3,220 feet above sea level.
The high spots in Centre county are in:
the southwest corner on the Alle-
