Bowral
Bellefonte, Pa., July 20, 1928.
WEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
The soldier boys will break
camp at Mt. Gretna today and Troop
B will return home some time tonight
or tomorrow morning.
——During the first five months of
this year there were 8114 dogs li-
censed in Centre county and thirty
prosecutions for violation of the dug
Jaw.
——Sunday was St. Swithin’s day
and according to the old saw, if it
Tains that day it will rain for forty
days. And it rained between ten and
eleven o'clock on Sunday evening.
——-John R. Doty and Preston A.
Frost, of State College, are among
those who will take examination for
license as fire insurance agents. The
examination will be held at Williams-
port tomorrow.
——The fifth annual reunion of the
Fry family will be held at the Fred
Fry home, at Fairbrook, tomorrow
(Saturday.) The dean of the family
is Capt. W. H. Fry, of Pine Grove
Mills, one of the best known men
throughout central Pennsylvania.
The family has a large connection
‘throughout Centre and adjoining
‘counties and if all attend tomorrow’s
reunion it will mean a gathering of
several hundred people.
For the purpose of pursuing
amore fully their literary interests
Miss Mary F. Sebring, of Bellefonte,
and Miss Charlotte Stere, of Flem-
ing, are attending the third annual
institute of English education at the
Pennsylvania State College. The in-
stitute, which opened July 8 and will
continue until August 10, is but one
of the features of the nineteenth an-
nual summer session of the college.
Philipsburg firemen recently
put on a soliciting campaign in an
effort to raise money to replenish
their depleted treasury. They suc-
«ceeded in raising $1643.67 net. This
was divided between the fire depart-
ment and two companies, giving each
one $547.89. In Bellefonte the Logan
fire company solicited contributions
and held a picnic at Hecla park on
July 4th. When all their bills were
paid they had about $1500 to put into
their treasury.
——DMuch of the cherry crop was
ruined by the excessively wet and cold
weather and now comes the report
that the huckleberry crop will be un-
usually short for the same reason.
One of the regular pickers who at-
tends the Bellefonte curb market went
out on the mountain with his family,
one day last week, and all of them,
seven in number, got only twenty-one
quarts for the day. From this it will
be seen that picking huckleberries is
not a very lucrative business.
Tomorrow the star athletes of
the eastern division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system will hold their
annual championship meet in the di-
vision park at Tyrone. Ruth Wald-
ner, of Camden, N. J., the sensation-
al girl sprinter will be one of the con-
testants. Miss Waldner won her heat
in the Olympic try-outs and probably
would have been on her way to the
games in Holland now, as the Amer-
ican representative in her class, had
she not fallen while leading in the
finals.
The rain of last Thursday af-
ternoon was only a shower in some
parts of the county, but in the lower
end of Nittany valley and south, over
the mountains, to Woodward it was
veritable cloud bursts. Residents
of those sections say that the water
didn’t fall in drops. It came down in
Solid sheets and at times there seep:-
ed to be inches of water on the level
ground. Streams were out over their
banks in a short time, corn fields were
badly washed and the roads in low
places all submerged.
Members of the American Le-
gion bugle and drum corps of the
Brooks-Doll post motored to Mt.
Gretna, on Sunday, and took part in
the guard mount of Troop B, 52nd
machine gun battalion, in charge of
‘Capt. Ralph T. Smith. The musicians
went down in private cars, some nf
them leaving Bellefonte at four
o'clock on Sunday morning. Accord-
ing to all accounts they made quite
a splash at the camp in two ways.
First, they were compelled to splash
around ankle deep in mud and water
but they did it so successfully that
they received favorable mention in all
the news dispatches from the camp.
The boys returned home on Sunday
night.
——The home of Mr. and Mrs. Har-
ry E. Garbrick, at Coleville, was the
scene of an unusually pleasant gath-
ering, on Wednesday of this week,
when four sisters met together for
the first time in more than twenty
years. Mrs. Garbrick has had as a
guest her mother, Mrs. Harry Criss-
man, of Pittsburgh, and on Wednes-
day three of Mrs. Crissman’s sisters
motored to Coleville to spend the day
with her. The three ladies were Mrs.
Henry Kech, of Snow Shoe; Mrs.
Michael Rader and Mrs. Joseph Ol-
linger, both of Drifting. They are
all daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs.
‘Christ Hartle, who came to this coun-
try from Germany and settled at
Drifting where he spent the remaind-
er of his life. The four sisters range
in age from sixty to seventy-six years
and it is needless to say their meet-
ing on Wedensday was a happy event
in the lives of all of them,
LENGTHY SESSION OF
BOROUGH COUNCIL.
Much Business Discussed and Some
Disposed of During Meeting.
Every member of borough council
was present at the regular meeting
on Monday evening. Miss Mary
Cooney, of Bishop street, appeared in
person and registered a complaint
about the automatic registering bell
on the air pump at the J. B. Rossman
vulcanizing plant on that street. She
said it rings all hours of the night
and residents of that locality are al-
most “cuckoo” over it. She made no
complaint about the noise during the
day. The matter was referred to the
Fire and Police committee to have the
nuisance abated.
Hugh M. Quigley was present and
inquired as to what council had done
toward securing a reduction in insur-
ance rates. He stated that State Col-
lege has been granted a reduction of
six cents and there is no reason why
Bellefonte should not secure some re-
duction, at least. The matter was ve-
ferred to the Special committee to
confer with Mr. Quigley and see what
can be done.
A lengthy communication was re-
ceived from M. J. Barrick, district
engineer of the State Board of
Health, insisting that action be taken
at once in the making of a comprehen-
sive plan of the sewage and water
systems of the borough. Mr. Brouse,
of the Street committee, reported
that he had communicated with
borough engineer H. B. Shattuck who
estimated the expense of making such
a survey, with the accompanying
maps, at from $750 to $1000. The
committee was instructed to ascertain
how soon the work can be done.
A communication was received
from borough solicitor N. B. Spangler
relative to a claim of the Auditor
General for unpaid State tax on the
borough debt for the years 1918 to
1926, inclusive, amounting to $7200.
Mr. Spangler stated that in his opin-
ion the claim was a valid one and
that he had been able to have the bill
reduced to $5918.63; and further ad-
vised that the borough pay it. As the
bill was not itemized and there was
nothing to show just what the claim
is for, whether on bonded debt or
floating debt, or both, the matter was
referred to the Finance committee to
ascertain, and if found correct the
secretary was authorized to draw an
order for the amount.
A communication was received
from James R. Hughes requesting
permission to erect four standards on
Bellefonte streets pointing the way
to the Bellefonte Academy. One of
the standards is to be erected at the
intersection of Spring and Linn
streets, one at Bishop and Allegheny
and two on Spring street, near the
Academy grounds. The matter was
referred to the Street committee.
A written proposition was received
from the City Coal vard offering to
furnish a supply of Cherry Run coal
to the two fire company buildings at
the price of $4.50 per ton, delivered,
if the order is placed now so that de-
livery can be made during the slack
Season. Referred to the Fire and Po-
lice committee with power.
A communication was received
from the Secretary of Internal Af-
fairs stating that under a recent act
of the Legislature it was necessary
for that department to make an ex-
amination of the sinking funds of
boroughs as well as ascertain the
shape of their indebtedness, and re-
quested a meeting for the purpose of
doing so. Referred to the Finance
committee.
Mr. Frank Murphy, engineer for
the Central Pennsylvania Gas com-
pany, appeared before council and
stated that he had expected to have
the ten thousand dollar indemnity
bond in hand to file with council that
evening, but there had been some de-
lay in its preparation, but the bond
would be here sure on Tuesday. Mr.
Murphy explained to council why they
are obliged to put so=e of their pipes
down on the streets instead of the
alleys, his reason being that the way
the alleys are laid out it is impossible
to reach the consumers. Alleys,
however, will be used wherever pos-
sible, and such streets as are used
will be replaced and resurfaced.
The Street committee made a re-
port of the work done during the past
month and also collection of $1.50
for old material sold and $60.00 for
sewer permits.
The Water committee reported var-
ious repairs and the collection of
$36.50 on the 1926 water duplicate
and $2712.50 on the 1927.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes aggregating
$28,200 and also authorization to float
a new note for such an amount as
may be needed to meet current bills,
both of which were authorizd.
Mr. Cobb called attention to the
deplorable condition of the street be-
tween the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Meek property, and also the al-
ley leading from said street to Thom-
Las street. There was some discussion
as to the borough rights on said
street, but the matter was finally re-
ferred to the Street committee with
power to fix the street, and ascertain
how the alley can be put in a condi-
tion that it will not wash out during
hard rain storms.
Mr. Mignot called attention to the
fact that the weeds along east High
street ought to be cut. The Ceme-
tery association has cut the weeds
inside the pavement but outside the
pavement they are very rank. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee with a suggestion that the
weeds on all the streets and alleys BOY SCOUTS TO CAMP
should be cut.
The secretary reported that pe=-
mission had been granted by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
also the Public Service Commission
for the laying of a six inch water
pipe under the railroad, on west Lamb
street, to complete the new loop from
Spring street to the milk station of
the Sheffield Farms Co., and the Wa-
ter committee was instructed to go
ahead with the work. The committee
was also authorized to lay a four inch
water line from Curtin street, out
north Allegheny street to the borough
line.
Complaint was made about the
dirty condition of the street lights
and the Street committee was in-
structed to see that they are cleaned
a little oftener, and also find out, if
possible, if the borough is getting the
full voltage in lights for which it is
paying.
The question of the request of
Harry A. Rossman for permission to
erect a gas pump in front of his gar-
age, on north Allegheny street, was
then taken up. President Walker
stated that Burgess Harris was )p-
posed to the granting of any more
permits for pumps on the streets and
further offered to do all he could to
have those now on removed. Mr.
Emerick stated that as long as other
dealers have them on the streets he
did not think it right to discriminate
against Mr. Rossman. He further
stated that he favored the passing of
an ordinance taxing all pumps on the
streets fifty dollars. After consider-
able discussion Mr. Emerick made a
motion that Mr. Rossman’s request
be granted and the motion was sec-
onded by Mr. Reynolds. An aye and
nay vote was taken and Messrs. Bad-
ger, Brouse, Cobb, Emerick and Rey-
nolds voted in favor of granting tha
request and Cunningham, Kline and
Mignot against doing so. The vote
being five to three Mr. Rossman was
thus empowered to erect his pump.
Immediately after passing the
above motion Mr. Emerick suggested
that the Street committee confer with
the borough solicitor and have an
ordinance prepared to present at the
next meeting of borough council pro-
hibiting the erection of any more gas
pumps at the curbs or on the streets
of the town; and providing for a tax
on those now on the streets. The
committee was so instructed.
President Walker called attention
to the fact that an automobile acci-
dent at the intersection of Allegheny
and Linn streets, on Saturday night,
and another one on Sunday was the
result of people driving out Allegheny
turning around the marker and
driving back, and the Street commit-
tee was instructed to place a sign on
the marker prohibiting U turns.
Report was made to council that
the Shope Lumber company will fur-
nish the posts and the Sutton-Abram-
sen Engineering company and Mr. |
Cunningham the wire cable for a
guard fence along the embankment, '
on south Potter street,
constructs the fence. On motion the
offer was accepted and the matter re-
ferred to the Street committee.
Bills totaling $7591.17, which in-
cluded the one for $5918.63 for State
tax, were approved for payment, after
which council adjourned.

“Sunrise” at the Cathaum.
Next Monday and Tuesday, July
23 and 24, the screen adaptation of
Hermann Sudermann’s story “Sun-
rise” will be shown at the Cathaum
theatre, State College.
Janet Gaynor and George O’Brien
are the featured stars in this produc-
tion which for sheer beauty is said
to excel their great success in “Sey-
enth Heaven.”
It is rather unusual that manager
Baum should bring such a feature
film to the College during the off
summer season, but we have observed
that his programs since vacation be-
gan have shown no diminution in
quality.

Several People Injured in Auto Ace:-
dent Near New Gas Plant.
A collision between two automo-
biles on the Bellefonte to Pleasant
Gap State highway, between nine and
ten o'clock on Sunday morning, ‘badly
wrecked both cars and sent several
people to the Centre County hospital
to have their injuries dressed, though
none of them were hurt bad enough
to cause their detention in that in-
stitution.
The accident happened on the sharp
curve at Harry Sampsell’s residence,
opposite the location of the plant of
the Central Pennsylvania Gas com-
pany. The one car a Chevrolet Se-
dan, was owned and driven by Thom-
as Reed, of Scranton.
were his wife, Mrs. Mary Reed, and
three children, William, Thomas Jr.,
and May Reed. They were enroute
to Ohio to visit relatives and natur-
ally were coming toward Bellefonte.
The other car was a Studebaker
owned and driven by Wilbur G. Carr,
of Clearfield. With him were Lester
G. Hall and two young ladies, Misses
Lucy Curry and Pearl Hoffman.
The impact of the two cars, though
neither of the drivers were exceed-
ing the speed limit, threw May Reed,
aged about fourteen years, through
the windshield of her father’s car,
She sustained a good sized cut on the
lower lip, slight lacerations and
bruises, and was the only one in the
Reed car to be injured.
In the other car Lester Hall sus-
tained cuts on the head, Miss Curry
lacerations of the shoulder and Miss
Hoffman lacerations of the face and
right leg.
They were all brought to the hos-
pital but were able to leave that in-
stitution as soon as their injuries
were dressed.
Mr. Reed, the driver of the Chey-
rolet sedan, assumed responsibility
for the accident. He stated that the
road was new to him and instead of
keeping close on the curve he was
over the white line when the other car
loomed up ahead and it was then -too
late to get out of the way. He told
Mr. Carr to have his car put in shape
and he would settle for it.

Millheim. The ladies motored to Bellefonte
with Mrs. Smith’s daughter, Mrs. Marcellas
Sankey to look after some business mat-
ters in connection with the annual Grange
encampment, while Mrs. Smith came to
Bellefonte to do some shopping, having
overlooked the fact that Bellefonte stores
are all closed Thursday afternoons. And
of course it had to rain quite hard during
the time which prevented them from
getting around as much as they had plan-
ned to do. While here Mrs. Smith told
us of a recent motor trip she made
through Buffalo valley, in Union county,
and averred that she never saw better
fields of wheat than there were there.
—While in town on one of his casual
visits, last Friday afternoon, Frank Lee,
of Centre Hall, dropped in to kid us a bit
on the way one of his fellow townsmen,
W. W. Kerlin, tore us out recently. That
led on to talk about the Centre Hall
Chautauqua of which Frank was and is a’
guarantor. It appears that Mr. Kerlin is
also a guarantor and he volunteered fo
sell tickets, but as his tickets were not
moving very fast he stimulated sales by
throwing in a hundred little chickens with
each ticket. Naturally this stimulated
business and the chicken farmer got rid
of several thousand peeps before hig al-
lotment of tickets was exhausted. The
story sounded good to us up to the mo-
ment we realized how George Benner
“gypped” us. We bought our tickets from
Geo. and got nothing besides but a gra-
cious “Thanks.” Next year, the Lord will-
ing, and friend Kerlin still being so loose
with his chickens, we shall buy our tick-
ets from him even if he did call us names.
