Farmers and timber owners in Cen- tre county are urged to attend the demonstration meeting at McKinney's ranger station, in the Seven moun- tains, above Potters Mills, on Friday, June 22nd, on how to control the re- cently discovered pine pest which has made its appearance in various scc- tions of Pennsylvania. This pine pest is new, and like the chestnut blight, was imported from Europe. Where the chestnut blight has spelled doom to the chestnut and cannot be controlled, this “blister rust’ can be prevented. By uprooting several forms of small plants growing in and around white pine, the “rust” is kept out of the woods. At the meeting, the work- ings of the disease will be shown and discussed, and the kind of plants to uproot will be shown. About the ranger station there are several interesting pine plantations. These will be inspected. That little bug that stings the tips of pine and is so often mistaken for the “rust” will be shown and discussed. White pine is one of Central Penn- sylvania’s best woodlot trees. It is fast growing and will make a valu- able crop on otherwise worthless farm land. - Specialists from the Pennsylvania State College, county agents Blaney and Thompson, and district forester Harrison will be on hand to show what can be done to save the pine. Farmers and timber owners will have a pleasant and profitable afternoon. In case of rain there is a big barn floor available. . : Remember the date, Friday, June 22, at 2 p. m., at McKinney’s ranger station, on the State road between Potter’s Mills and Milroy. Three Minor Motor Accidents, At noon, last Saturday, the driver of Achenbach’s ice cream truck parked his machine in front of the Bush house. Half an hour later, when he was ready to leave Bellefonte, he backed right out into a roadster go- ing west on High street. The rear end of the heavy truck bulged in the right door of the roadster in which were a young man and a woman. The woman was thrown against the side of the car by the impact and sus- tained bruises on her face but no serious injuries. The driver, who gave his name as Robert Schelm, was not injured. Owing to the construction of the ice cream truck the driver was unable to see any one coming in the rear and backed out regardless of the congested traffic at that time. Shortly before seven o’clock on Sat- urday evening a motorist from State College drove down to the Beezer garage and backed into the parking space at this end of the building to turn around. As he drove out a car coming along Water street caught his bumper and tore it off, the other car being thrown over onto the pavement by the impact. The arivers of both cars got away before their identity could be learned. About the same time three cars figured in a collision at the intersec- tion of Water street with the State highway, opposite Beaver and Hoy row. Nobody was injured and none |- of the cars greatly damaged. A Centre Hall Sandwich. In his “Call It a Day” column in the Harrisburg Telegraph, on Tues- day, M. H. James discusses places in Pennsylvania where good meals are served and has the following to say about Centre Hall sandwiches: Outside of Mr. Bill Brown’s place at Amity Hall I am in considerable doubt whether you can get anything worth while to eat between State Col- lege and Harrisburg ... or between Hairisburg and State College . . ex- cept, of course, at Mr. W. Folger's place in Dauphin , . I made the mis- take Sunday of stopping at a restaur- ant in Centre Hall .. I ordered a chicken sandwich ... I am a dumb ass! . .. in all my life I have never eaten such a sandwich I didn’t know so terrible a thing could be as- sembled, anywhere . . then, resigned to my fate, I ordered coffee . en save the mark! .. I was a sad- der and wiser man as I trod feebly on the accelerator and went away .. . and if ever I am starving to death on a desert island I will not die so long as I can remember the sandwich and coffee at Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. rs ——— ee aeem—— —Frank Hull, eight year old son of Edward Hull, of Reynolds avenue, who had been a patient in the Centre County hospital for three months as the result of a broken leg, was dis- charged on Monday and is now able to get around fairly well by the use of crutches. .
