make the fourth graders from Bishop
street work hard for their laurels by
running a counter attraction in the
way of a gypsy festival.

present a cantata entitled, “Dawn of
Spring.” These youngsters have
memorized the entire score and hope

it for their efforts. This ensemble
alone is worth several times the price

only 15 cents for the entire show.

pearance in 1928. None is left out,
you'll see them all. 9.45 a. m., Tues-
day, June 5th, 1928, for 15 cents.
Daily Vacation Bible School.
Believing the daily vacation Bible
school to be good for a community,
the members of the Bellefonte Min-
isterium met and discussed plans rel-
ative to such a school. The High
school building has been secured
again this year, being chosen because
it proved to be very satisfactory last
year. The past two years the school
lasted four weeks, but this year it
has been deemed advisable to have
but three weeks, same to begin Mon-
day, June 11th, and close Friday,
June 29th. The ministers will appre-
ciate a hearty co-operation on the
part of the parents, whether they
hold membership in any church. or
not. The aim of the school is to help
you and your child.

Railroad People Go to Washington to ACADEMY MINSTRELS SHOW |
Complete Hearing.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and the Public Service Commis-
sion of Pen sylvania ought to be able
to render just decisions in the pend-
ing cases of the Bellefonte Central
Railroad company, if the time spent
in taking the testimony counts for
anything.
The hearing began before Public
Service Commissioner Charles Young,
in Bellefonte, on April 4th and con-
tinued two days. It was resumed on
Wednesday of last week, again before
Mr. Young and continued until Thurs-
day noon, when the final testimony
was heard in connection with two of
the applications of the Bellefonte
Central—one for permission to take
over and operate the Fairbrook
branch, recently abandoned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, and
the other for permission to construct
a new road from Struble station to
Fairbrook.
On Friday morning the hearing
started before examiner Rice, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, on
the application of the Bellefonte
Central for traffic rights over that
portion of the Fairbrook branch from
Stover station into Tyrone, a distance
of less than three miles.
ing continued until Saturday noon,
then adjourned to reconvene in Wash-
ington, D. C., at nine o’clock next :
Monday morning. As there is not |
much more testimony to take it is
likely it can all be heard before noon-
time Monday.
The first week in July has been ten-
tatively set as the time for oral ar-
TO A CROWDED HOUSE.
Beauty Contest Novel Feature of An-
~ nual Appearance of Student
Minstrels.
- The new State theatre was crowded
last Thursday night when the stu-
dents of the Bellefonte Academy
staged their annual minstrel show.
For years this entertainment has
been a feature of the: student life of |
the boys at the historic old “school
in the mountains,” but never before
do we recall such a large audience
having assembled to greet them.
Quite a surprise was sprung on the
audience when the Bellefonte Kiwan-
ians took charge of the house and
staged an impromptu minstrel show
of their own. Acting as interlomator
Robert F. Hunter drafted his actors
from among Kiwanians in the audi-
ence. None were permitted to escape
and he succeeded in assembling a full
complement of choristers, end men
and soloists, and they didn’t give a
bad account of themselves at that.

be taken to her home on Howard street.
—Mr. and Mrs. John Nighthart and Mr.
and Mrs. William Nighthart went over to
Lewistown, on Sunday, to attend the fun-
eral, on Monday, of Mrs. William Night-
ka, Kansas and Missouri.

iting with Mrs. Dennithorn’s mother, Mrs.
Scott and the McCurdy family.
—Mrs. Murdock Claney will drive ‘up
from Narbeth this week, for one of ber
short and frequent visits with her mother,
Mrs. William McClure, expecting to be in
Bellefonte only for the week-end.
—Miss Jennie Potts returned to her
home in Stormstown a week ago, after a
three months’ visit in Philipsburg ,K with
the Paul Gray family. For a part of the
time while away Miss Potts was a pa-
tient in the Philipsburg hospital.
—Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Cox, former resi-
After they had been chased from the
stage the real show began.
This hear- .
The Academy talent was augment-
eb by five of the premiers of the State
College Thespians and from the open-
ing ensemble to the fipal curtain the
show moved with a professional air.
While every number, song or special-
‘ty was put over with more of a pro-
fessional than amateur finish, and de-
served the enthusiastic applause it
| received, William Fisher's singing of
, “Rain;” Herbert Beezer’s clever inter- |
pretation of “Hot Tomalie Molly,” |
. dents of Bellefonte, drove here for a Mem-
| orial day visit with Mr. Cox's mother,
| Mrs. Lucy Anne Cox, of the Allison apart-
ments. It has been Mr. Cox’s custom for
a number of years, to make a visit back
home at this time.
—Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Noll, of Pleas-
ant Gap. and their two daughters, Jane
and Madeline, will motor to Harrisburg,
on Saturday, to meet Mr. and Mrs. H. P.

a visit of two weeks with Mrs. Tillie Noll,
of Pleasant Gap.
—Mrs. James B. Lane,
who had been
gument by both sides, the argument with his dance interlude, and Ernest : with her sister, Mrs. Shaffner, at Summit,
to be made in Washington, D. C. As
these hearings were held in what is
termed the finance department of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, it
will take precedence over the ordi-
nary run of hearings, and it is quite
problematical that a decision will be
handed down before the end of July.

Federal Match Co. Sending Out Sam-
ple Boxes of Matches.
The Federal Match company re-
cently installed at its Bellefonte plant
a machine for making and packing
penny boxes of matches to compete
with the penny in the slot safety
matches now used so generally
throughout the country. The com-
pany has succeeded in producing a
match which they believe superior to
the ‘well known safety match, and are
packing them in boxes which can be
used in the penny-in-the-slot ma -
chines.
To introduce them they have sent
out five hundred sample boxes to
wholesale dealers all over the United
States. Each sample box contains
one box of No. 5 matches and nine-
teen of the small penny in the slot
boxes. They were packed in a neat
wooden box about ten inches long
and five inches square. As one item
of the cost of this means of intro-
ducing the new match it might be
added that the express alone on the
sample boxes was in excess of three
hundred dollars. :
The demand for the product of the
Bellefonte plant is steadily increasing
and they have shipped more matches
the past month than in any month
since the plant was built.
Desertion and Non-Support Cases.
At a session of court, last Thurs-
day, devoted almost entirely to the
hearing of desertion and non-support
cases, the following were disposed of:
James McCartney, of Snow * Shoe,
who has been before the court repeat-
edly on a non-support charge since
1922, was ordered tc pay over at once
to the parole officer for the use of his
wife the sum of $100 and stand com-
mitted until the sentence is complied
with. Mr. McCartney raised and paid
the money within twenty-four hours.
Paul Weaver, of Bellefonte, was or-
dered to pay $10 a month for the sup-
port of his child, and in a case against
his cousin, Nerr D. Weaver, an order
of support was refused.
Edward J. Snyder was directed to
pay $18 a month towards the support
of his wife and children. :
In the case of Guy Coll, whose case
was reported in the Watchman last
week, the court has filed a written
order that he is to continue the pay-
ments of $25 a month for the support
of his daughter and is to have the
benefit of her custody over the week-
ends twice a month during the school
term and at such times and for ‘such
periods during vacation time as the
probation and parole officer may deem
just and proper.
Col. McCaskey to be Commandant at
State College.
Col. Walter B. McCaskey, of Fort
Douglas, Utah, has been assigned to
State College as commandant of the
cadets, according to a report received
on Saturday. When he arrives at that
institution he will find a much differ-
ent college from what it was when
he was a student there in the early
nineties and was a star back field
man,
Col. McCaskey graduated at State
College in 1896 and two years later
enlisted in the Pennsylvania National
Guard. He is a graduate of the in-
fantry-cavalry and tank schools con-
ducted by the regular army and
served with distinction during the
World war. He was discharged in
1920 with the rank of Colonel but
promptly re-enlisted as a second lieu-
tenant and has been promoted for ef-
ficiency in service until he is again a
Colonel in the regular army.
Vavra's solo “Among My Souvenirs”
sort of stand out in our memory.
I The olio was the vehicle on which
the specialty artists rode to fame 2s
amateurs. The piano and violin duet
by Joseph Frabutt and Richard
Schlaudecker was quite an artistic
presentation. Huberta May Prince,
the charming juvenile, made another
hit with her graceful dancing and re-
markable stage poise. And Thomas
Riggs and Joseph Frabutt put on an
act “The Melody Boys” that was good
enough to “stop” most any show.
It is not necessary to comment on
the work of Kennedy, Shuster, Hol-
derman, Whetstone and Neff, that
quintet of State College thespians.
‘They would be headliners with any
theatrical aggregation.
THE BEAUTY SHOW.
The beauty contest was effectively
staged. The setting was designed to
display the pulchritude of the fair
contestants to the best advantage.

Pleasant Gap, Miss Grace Millward,
Miss Louise Eckenroth.

nie Miller, Mary Penington and Lil-
lian Pennington.
The judges were C. R. Lauer, W. T.
Griffith and Burritt L. Haag, all of
Lock Haven. The names of the con-
testants were not revealed. They
were known only by numbers and the
judges called for a second pageant
before they could come to agreement
as to the winners.
First prize, $25, was awarded to
Miss Hilda Watson, of Bellefonte.
Second prize, $15, to Miss Grace Mill-
ward, of Pleasant Gap. Third prize,
$10, to Miss Minnie Miller, of Belle-

John F. Garthoof will Retire as Mail
Carrier Monday.
John F. Garthoof, who for a little
over twenty-one years has made his
regular rounds daily as a mail car-
rier on route No. 2, Bellefonte, will
make his final trips Monday and
when his day’s work is at an end he
will go on the retired list. While he
has been a regular carrier for twen-
ty-one years he worked as a sub-car-
rier about four years prior to going
on as a regular so that he has credit
for practically twenty-five years’
service in the Bellefonte postoffice.

by William Geisinger, who has been a
sub for several years.
The oldest appointee in point of
service in the office at the present
time is John T. Bair. He is about
completing his first extension of serv-
ice and has been granted a second ex-
tension, so that he is good for several
more years. W. C. Chambers is al-
so completing his first extension and
has made application for a second ex-
tension, which will probably be grant-
ed to him.
As a testimonial to his years of
faithful service in the postoffice Mr.
Garthoof will be the honor guest at a
reception and dinner at the Evergreen
club, at Wingate, next Monday even-
ing. The Ladies Auxiliary of the
postal employees will have charge of
the affair and will be assisted by post-
master John L. Knisely and the em-
ployees association.

bus, Ga., for two weeks with her mother
and Mr. Levi's mother, Mrs. Myron Cupp
and Mrs. M. C. Levi, expect to be in Belle-
fonte for the greater part of the summer.
According to their present plans, Mr. Levi

for a visit, and will then be accompanied
home by his family.
—A. Stewart Bailey, of Pine Grove Mills,
was in town yesterday looking after mat-
ters pertaining to the estate of his sis- |
ter, the late Nannie Bailey. Mr. Bailey is |
one of the men in charge of Aaron Kep-
ler’s potato acreage up in Ferguson town-
ship and is of the opinion that potatoes
are a very profitable crop even if one
does have to take very special care if he
wants to grow them right.
—Mrs. W. A. Lathrop, a former resi-
dent of Snow Shoe, but now of Wilkes-
Barre, is expected in Bellefonte, Wednes-
day of next week, to be a house guest of
‘Miss Margaret Stewart, at the Stewart
home on west Linn street. Mrs. Lathrop
is known to many persons in this locality
through her long residence in Snow Shoe,
during the time her husband was super-
intendent of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.
—Mrs. E. H. B. Callaway was with her
daughter, Mrs. Harry Garber, when she
brought her husband's body here from
Flusking, L. I, Tuesday, for burial in
the Bush family lot in the Union cemtery.
Mr. Garber’s brother, Ralph and Mrs. Gar-
ber, of Butler, were also in Bellefonte, on
Wednesday, for the burial services. Mrs.
Callaway and Mrs. Garber, who have been
with Mr. and Mrs. George B. Thompson
during their stay, will return to Long
Island, Sunday.
—Mr. O. C. Harvey, of State College, is
having this week off from his business at
that place, but he’s not enjoying it. He
is a juror at court and putting in time
between panels is what irks. Mr. Harvey
is interested in the baking and confec-
tionery business at the College, being a
member of the State College Bakery firm.
It will be recalled that some time ago the
Harvey and Harrison and Rodgers inter-
ests there were merged into one big con-
cern and the change has proven to be a
very successful move.

ent, at least, Wingate will continue as
a postoffice.
