THE STORY OF GAS,
A BELLEFONTE MOVIE. |
Through the courtesy of the of-|
ficials of the Central Pennsylvania
Gas Company representatives of the
local newspapers were shown a run-
off of a film that the company has had
made of its operations in Bellefonte
and State College. It was screenad
at the Richelieu theatre Wednesday
morning and, will be shown on the
regular program of that theatre at a
matinee this afternoon and this even-
ing, also.
It is an exceedingly interesting one
reeler made by the Bubb Film Co., of
Williamsport; photographed by Glenn
Crossley, with titles by Herbert Beez-
er.
Aside from the natural interest
people of this community would have
in it because of the local scenario it
has a number of moments when those
who know or care nothing about
Bellefonte, or whether we have the
advantages of an unlimited supply of
pure gas, would be charmed and,
probably, edified. The picturization
of the “Big Spring” and the “Boiling
Spring” at Edgefonte have brought
to the screen two scenes that for
sheer beauty might add to any fea-
ture film that is being produced in
Hollywood. From a purely scientific
stand point this, the first success-
ful photographing of the trout mov-
ing about in Spring creek is very
interesting. Crossley has caught the
fish so well that it was hard for us
to believe that” an aquarium
photograph had not been “faked” into
his film. We know it was not, how-
ever, because we recognized one of
the “big fellows” upon whom we have
been casting a covetous eye for two
years or more.
Scenes of trenching and pipe lay-
ing on many streets of Bellefonte,
along the route to State College and
at the latter place are not only beau-
tiful but illuminative of what modern
methods accomplish. .
The trenching machine in operation
is something to marvel at. A com-
paratively small and inefficient look-
ing bit of mechanism it has done the
major part of the trench digging
throughout Bellefonte and State Col-
lege and the thirteen miles bewesan
the two points in a little over two
months. To have done the same
work by the old pick and shovel meth-
od we opine that it would have taken
several hundred men near about a
year.
The “Story of Gas” has continuity.
First it creates atmosphere with a lot
of lovely and interesting scenes, then
it portrays the efforts of a public util-
ity corporation to provide a commod-
ity that will make the lives of those
who live midst these scenes less irk-
some, then it goes to the plant where
the commodity is to be manufactured.
At the big plant that is gradually
creeping skyward near Axe Mann the
work of construction is filmed in a
manner that reveals the operations
quite as well as if one were to motor
out there to see what is going on.
As we have said before in the
Watchman the Central Pennsylvania
Gas Company has certainly done av-
erything humanly possible to court
the good-will of the communities it
expects to serve. It has about com-
pleted an installation that might have
occasioned a maximum of annoyance
and inconvenience. It seems to us to
have done it with even less than a
reasonable minimum. Possibly this
has been so because the men in charge
have been on the job. They were
there the day the film of plant con-
struction was made, for mixed up
with the army of structural steel
workers, brick layers, concrete mix-
ers, plumbers, fitters and whonot were
F. L. Murphy, the chief engineer;
Kert Mahnke his assistant; Robert
Hunter, vice president of the com-
pany; P. J. Lynch, manager in charge
of distribution, Auditor Peters and
Ray Murphy, in charge of plant con-
struction. We recognized them all
and their appearance confirms our
conviction that the work has moved
with such dispatch only because they
have been on the job.
Every one of them appears to have
been too busy with the project to even
think of getting a shave before he
“had his picture took.” Especially is
this so with regard to the vice presi-
dent, the gentleman. who, alone, must
be, given credit for having interested
capitalists to the extent that they
have brought to our doors a commod-
ity we didn’t realize the value of until
the old Bellefonte Gas Co., pulled its
fires in 1915.
As we have said above “The Story of
Gas” will be shown at the Richelieu
at a matinee this afternoon and also
this evening.
Go and see it. We know you will be
interested.
——Mahlon Robb, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson E. Robb, has been doing
considerable strutting the past week,
and with just cause, as he achieved
a record on the Nittany Country club
golf course, last Wednesday never be-
fore made, and that was to make the
sixth hole in one stroke. Mahlon was
making the rounds of the course with
several other young men and was
playing a very fair game, but even at
that he never thought when he hit
the ball for the sixth hole, a distance
of 146 yds., that he would make it in
one. In fact he was about as much
surprised as his companions.
——John Fidora, of Munson, was
committed to the Centre county jail,
last wek, on the charge of manufac-
turing and possession of moonshine
liquor.
Preparing for Annual Y. M. C. A.
Membership Drive,
The directors of the Bellefonte Y.
M. C. A. have designated September
26th, 27th and 28th for the annual
fall drive for membership. The clos-
ing year has been one of outstanding
achievement, not only by the recondi-
tioning of the swimming pool, but in-
creased activity in all branches of “Y”
work. During the past year the to-
tal attendance has been more than
50,000 in all activities.
Mr. L. C. Heineman, secretary of
the local branch, through his under-
standing and willingness to serve
others, has made a tremendous im-
pression upon the community life of
Bellefonte. It is the general opinion
that the local institution is serving |
the interests of all Centre county to a
greater extent than at any time in its
long history, and it is the aim of all
those interested in this work to con-
stantly increase the club in order that
the ideals of the Christian association
may to a greater extent be woven in-
to the lives of the youth of our com-
munity.
It is hoped that during the com-
ing drive the people of Centre county
will show their confidence in the Y.
M. C. A. by supporting it to the limit
of their ability. This can be done in
part by turning out for the parade
and concert to be given by Wetzler’s
Junior band, to be held on the court
house lawn on September 21st, at 7:00
pP. m. A prominent speaker will ad-
dress this gathering.
As a preliminary to the drive the
committee which will be in charge
will be entertained at dinner at the
Brockerhoff house this (Friday) ev-
ening, to perfect plans for the work.
From twenty to twenty-five business
men of Bellefonte will constitute the
committee.
Bellefonte Ministerium Reports on the
Vacation Bible School.
The Bellefonte Ministerium met at
the Y. M. C. A,, on Monday, and after
disposing of routine business the
chairmen of the various committees
in charge of the daily vacation Bible
school during the summer submitted
complete reports. For the benefit of
the public and in order that church
congregations may be informed as to
what is required to take care of this
work, it can be stated that the ex-
penses of the school included supplies,
$36.39; teaching staff, $129.00, and
janitor service, $20.00 or a total of
$185.39. The bills have all been paid.
and the Ministerium hereby wishes
to thank all those who helped to make !
the school a success. !
Rev. Thena spoke of the program '
of the Y. M. C. A., and after the mat-
ter was thoroughly discussed, it was
agreed that, as ministers of the town,
the Ministerium heartily supports the
program, because under the new man-
agement the Y fills a need in the com-
munity which the churches are not
equipped to meet
Passenger Train on Lewisburg Road
to be Discontinued.
Announcement has again been made
that the afternoon passenger train on
the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad :
will be discontinued on September |
30th, but the morning train opera:-
ed on its present schedule.
In consequence thereof the Postof-
fice Department is asking for bids for
carrying the mail from Bellefonte to
Millheim and return by auto truck.
The proposed schedule is to leave
Bellefonte at 38 o’clock in the after-
noon and returning arrive here at
6:40 p. m. Stops will be made st
Pleasant Gap, Centre Hall, Spring
Mills, Penn Hall and Millheim.
The taking off of the afternoon
train will practically cut the Sou:
Side off from all railroad accommo-
dations to and from Bellefonte, as it
would take two days to make the trip
and have any time to transact busi-
ness.
Gilbert Morgan is the New Proprietor
of Bon Mot.
A deal was closed on Tuesday
whereby Gilbert Morgan has become |
the new proprietor of the “Bon Mot,” |
in the McClain block, next door to the |
Watchman office. The place had been
conducted for some time past by John
F. Marks who retired from the maa- |
agement on Monday.
The new proprietor is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Morgan and for
some years past has been in the em- |
ploy of the West Penn Power com-
pany. He is active and quite popular
among the younger set of the town
which ought to bring him good sup-
port in his new venture.
——Visitors in Bellefonte as well
as strangers passing through the
town cannot fail to be attracted by
the four very ornamental signs which
headmaster James R. Hughes has had
erected at important street intersec-
tions pointing the way to the Belle-
fonte Academy. The signs are en-
ameled in the Academy colors, blue
and gold. They are located at the in-
tersection of Spring and Linn streets,
Allegheny and Bishop, Spring and
Bishop and Logan and Spring.
——Rev. G. A. Sparks, a retired
minister of the United Brethren
church, and who during his active
career had filled appointments at Port
Matilda and Runville, died on Monday
at his home in Mt. Ranier, Maryland.
The remains were taken to Mapleton,
Huntingdon county, where burial was
made yesterday.
.
Another Blacksmith Shop in Belle-
fonte Goes Into the Discard.
Forrest L. Bullock sold his black-
smith shop, on south Water street, to
Walter Eberhart, last Friday, and zhe
sale means another shop gone into
the discard. Mr. Eberhart will move
his plumbing shop from his present
location, on Bishop street, into the
lower portion of the south Water
street building and will convert the
second story into a very comfortable
living apartment.
Mr. Bullock sold his stand because
he is suffering with an injury which
prevents him from doing any work,
"and as he has decided to leave Belle-
fonte for good he naturally had no
further use for his building.
But the sale of this shop may prove
a greater detriment to Bellefonte and
the community at large than is at
present realized. It leaves but one
blacksmith shop now in operation in
Bellefonte, that of Luther Smith, >n
Penn street, and practically all his
time is taken up in shoeing horses
and making minor repairs on farm-
ing implements.
Time was when there were four or
five shops in Bellefonte, and they
could be found in every small town
and at every cross roads throughout
the county. But the advent of the au-
tomobile resulted in the conversion of
most of the shops into garages and
auto repair shops, until now a real,
honest-to-goodness blacksmith shop is
a rarity in Centre county. And ox-
perienced blacksmiths are about as
scarce as millionaires in Centre coun-
ty. No young men, nowdays, are
learning the trade. They are turning
to auto mechanics, which is really not
a trade at all.
Mr. Bullock was a blacksmith of
the old school. He could not only do
all kinds of "repair work but if he
| didn’t have a necessary part to fit he
could take an iron bar and make it.
He could weld iron and steel and
‘temper the latter to the nth degree.
Only a week or two ago a man near
Bellefonte broke an auto spring and
wanted to get it welded. Mr. Bullock,
because of his injury, was unable to
do the job and the man had to take
the spring to the Wieland shop, at
Boalsburg, to get it repaired. The
nearest shop to Bellefonte where such
work is regularly done is at Snow
Shoe Intersection. So it can be eas-
ily seen that the passing of the Bul-
lock shop may result in a great in-
convenience to many people in this
sectio.n
Many Visitors at Kiwanis Luncheon P¢in8 considerably improved.
on Tuesday.
Visitors at the Kiwanis luncheon, | former pastor of the Methodist church of
at the Brockerhoff house on Tuesday,
included Sylvester Rich, of Bradford;
Philip Young, of Boston; Frank Mur-
phy, of Williamsport; Robert Wins-
low, of Boston; Mr. and Mrs. Bent

V. Foster, of State College; P. £.
Womelsdorf, Jack Thompson, H. H.
Hewitt, Dr. and Mrs. Andrews, Mr.
rand Mrs. Boggs, A R. Sullivan and
Mrs. Bair, all of Philipsburg. Mrs.
Bair and Jack Thompson favored the
'Kiwanians with a sample of Philips-
burg vocal music, to the delight of all
present :
Next week will be Constitution day
when Judge Fleming will make a talk
on the constitution. The following
week L. C. Heineman will be ‘'n
charge and will have with him that
famous Y. M. C. A. entertainer,
|
i
i
|
William C. Montigana, who is said
to be a second Harry Lauder.
The June to October birthday mem-
bers will be in charge at the ladies
night meeting in October when former
Lieutenant Governor E. E. Beidle-
man, of Harrisburg, will be the
speaker.
Following Tuesday’s luncheon
president W. Harrison Walker gave
another installment of his trip to the
national convention at Seattle. Sev-
. however, for the present visit was to see
|
. in Bellefonte, on Monday, for their sum-
eral crippled children are still under
treatment at the Centre-Clearfield
clinic, in Philipsburg, but according
to reports all are doing fine.
“Dip-Dust Evidently Made Good.
Last spring we advised gardeners
and farmers to try Dip-dust on their
seed potatoes. We knew nothing of
the merits of “Dip-dust,” but when
it’s manufacturers offered to return
the purchase price if it didn’t produce
results we became interested and per-
sonally urged a number of friends to
try it.
Potatoes are being raised in Centre
county now. As yet we have heard
from only three of those whom we
persuaded to try the “Dip-dust” treat-
ment. Strange as it may seem not
one of the three even mentioned “Dip-
dust” as the possible reason for their
having had what they boasted of as
being the nicest yield of smooth skin-
ned, sizeable potatoes that they have
ever grown. They have forgotten
what “Dip-dust” did for them. We
haven’t. Because we have been grow-
ing several acres of potatoes, annual-
ly, for seventeen years and each year
they have been growing smaller and
scabbier. We treated the scabby seed
last spring with “Dip-dust” and if
anybody’s potatoes are smoother in
the skin or more regular in size this
fall than those we have thus far rais-
ed we'd like to see them.

Tyrone Division Employees Make
Record in Purchase of Stock.
Several months ago when the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company decided to
sell a certain allotment of stock to
employees at par a campaign was in-
augurated on the various divisions to
see which could make the best rec-
ord. The time limit expired ten days
or more ago and the allotment was
considerably over-subscribed. A re-
capitulation by company officials
shows that the Tyrone division led all
other divisions on the entire system,
not in the value of shares taken, but
in the number of employees who pur-
chased stock, a little over ninety-one
per cent. of the total. ;
