———The school teachers of Centre

‘the gathering now is much different
from what it used to be. Twenty
years ago the three hundred teachers
came to Bellefonte and stayed here
during the week, but now the most of
them come to town by automobile in
‘the morning and return home at the
«close of the afternoon session. In
former years there were splendid ev-
‘ening lectures and entertainments, but
the prices for these became prohibi-
tive and they had to be cut from the
“program.

stopped in Milesburg she jumped off
and was in the act of running across
the street to her home when hit by
the auto. Mr. Howard stopped and
rendered aid and also visited the hos-
pital later to see how badly the child
was hurt. Those who saw the acci-
dent say he was not to blame.
—William Fetters, of Bellefonte,
was arrested, on Saturday afternoon,
ANNUAL MEETING OF
HOSPITAL CORPORATION.
Directors.
The annual meeting of the Centre
County Hospital corporation was held
in the court house on Monday even-
ing, with a fair attendance. The
terms of four members of the board
of directors, George S. Hazel, Horatio
S. Moore, Ralph Mallory and W. T.
Kelly, all of Bellefonte, having ex-
pired, and as all of them had express-
ed a desire to step down and out,
three new men were chosen, namely:
Myron M. Cobb, George C. Bingaman
and John S. Sommerville; W. T. Kel-
ly being re-elected.
A resolution wags adopted amend-
ing the by-laws to permit of the ap-
pointment of an auditing committee
outside of the board of trustees, and
A. M. Barr, Earl C. Orr and Charles
McCurdy Scott were appointed.
A very comprehensive report of the
work of the Woman’s Auxiliary was
presented which showed that during
the year the women had furnished to
the hospital linens, bed clothing,
clothes, etec., to the value of over one
thousand dollars. They had also done
some wiring and paid for other im-
provements at the nurses’ home.
The report of business manager W.
H. Brown showed that during the
year there had been an increase of
fourteen per cent. in patients treat-
ed at the hospital over the preceding
year, and an increase of seventeen per
cent. in the number of patient days.
The income from patients during the
year was a little in excess of $27,000,
and the total income from all sources, |
including State appropriation, the
money received from the hospital
drive, contributions and donations
amounted to something over $40,000.
This sum just about met the expens-
es of the year.
As practically all the improvements
contemplated at the time the big
drive was put on four years ago have
been completed, and the entire hos-
pital is now in good shape, there will
be no unusual expense during the |
coming year and the main thing that
will have to be kept in mind is suffi-
cient revenue to meet the running ex-
penses.
The board of directors met at the
hospital, on Tuesday evening, and re-
organized by electing J. Thompson
Henry, of Martha, president; J. Laird
Holmes, of State College, vice presi-
dent; Myron M. Cobb, secretary, and
George C. Bingamin, treasurer.
State College Sisters Married at Dou-
ble Wedding.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Newell, of State College, was the
scene of a double wedding, at poon
on Monday of last week, when their:
daughter, Miss Margaret Hope New-
ell, became the bride of Albert
Perry Powell, and another daughter,
Miss Elizabeth: Rogers Newell, was
married to Ernest Axman. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Edwin
Witman, student pastor of the Meth-
odist church. The brides were at-
tended by their three sisters, the
Misses Martha, Dorothy and Vir-
ginia Newell, while Elizabeth Kins-
loe and Mary Newell, were ribbon
bearers.
Mrs. Powell was a graduate of the
1928 class of Penn State while Mus.
Axman is a member of the class of
’29. Both Mr. Powell and Mr. Axman
are instructors in electrical engineer-
ing at the College.

Local Football Results.
The Bellefonte High school football
team won their second game, last Fri-
day afternoon, when they defeated
Morrisdale, on Hughes field, 14 to 0.
The local boys showed some im-
provement: over the game with How-
ard a week previous, but they must
put a little more fighting spirit into |
the game if they hope to be confer-
ence contenders this year.
The Bellefonte Academy won its
game with the Villa Nova Freshmen,
Saturday afternoon, by the score of
26 to 0. At the opening of the game
it looked as if the Academy would
have a walk-over but in the second
period the Villa Nova defense stiffen-
ed and held the Bellefonters until the
fourth period when two more touch-
downs were scored to add to the two
made in the first period.
Up at State’ College an unusually
strong Gettysburg team held State to
two touchdowns and ‘a final score of
12 to 0. Gettysburg used its second
string back-field during half the
game, but they did about as good
work as the regulars.
Facts for Hunters.
Owing to misunderstanding in the
rulings of the Pennsylvania Game
Commission there is confusion in
the minds of some as to just what the
new regulations are.
Non-residents of Pennsylvania can
hunt in the State this fall. They
. for using three hooks and grappling cannot take deer, but they can take
for suckers in Spring creek, near the any other game in season.

Two Bellefonte People Injured in Au-
: to Accident.
Last Friday evening Charles Mec-
Curdy Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh M.
Quigley and Miss Henrietta Quigley
motored to State College in Mr.
Scott’s new Ford car to see a show.
On the return trip home their car
collided with one of the trucks of the
James and Nicholson company, con-
tractors on the Bellefonte Central
railroad, ata point near the William
Grove farm, about a mile this side
of Lemont.
The Scott car was completely over-
turned and landed by the side of the
road. Mrs. Quigley was thrown out
and staggering to the fence main-
tained that she was not hurt, but
when she attempted to walk she stag-
gered and fell in a faint, in the oniy
muddy place there was in that local-
ity. The driver of the truck stopped
to render what assistance he could.
A highway patrolman was notified
but by the time he reached the scene
of the accident the road was so track-
ed up with passing automobiles that
it was impossible to tell who wag to
blame for the accident.
In the meantime the Bellefonte
people were brought home in another
car. Mrs. Quigley sustained minor
rib fractures and Mr. Scott also re-
ceived a broken rib. Mr. Quigley and
Miss Henrietta Quigley were unin-
jured. The Scott car was badly dam-
aged and was towed in to the Beatty
garage for repairs.
| Last Friday afternoon, as burgess
Hard P. Harris was motoring down
| from State College, he saw an over-
turned automobile lying alongside the
Toad up near Peru, where the state
| highway makes an S turn in cross-
ing the railroad. The only person in
sight was a colored prisoner who had
| evidently been at work on the peni-
tentiary farm. Mr. Harris stopped
his car to take a look and as he did !

, men was slightly injured but not ser-
.iously, while the other was unhurt.
One was a resident of Wellsboro and
| the other of Jersey Shore. They were
on their way to State College to take
| the daughter of one of them, who is
2 co-ed at State, home for the week-
i end, and did not know of the S turn
(in the road until they struck it, and

What Has Become of All the Game
Squirrels?
What has become of all the game
squirrels, the big black and gray fel-
lows that were quite plentiful in Cen-
tre county woodlands after the close
of the hunting season last fall? This
is a question that is puzzling local
game wardens now that the small
game season is not far off.
Last fall squirrels were more plen-
tiful in Centre county than they had
been for a number of years. Hunt-
ers had good sport hunting them and
they formed a good part of many
mixed game bags. But notwithstand-
ing the fact that the kill was quite
large squirrels were quite plentiful
after the small game season closed,
j and the question now is what has be-
{come of them?
{ It will be recalled that there was a
short crop of nuts of all kinds in Cen-
tre county last year and it is just
: possible the squirrels migrated to
| some other section where their natur-
{al food was more, plentiful. That
squirrels will migrate is a known
ifact. They will travel hundreds of
' miles, if necessary to get into good
feeding woodlands. This year, ac-
! cording to game protector Thomas G.
| Mosier, there is a good crop of nuts,
rand while squirrels are quite scarce
i now it is just possible that they may
come back and be fairly plentiful by
the opening of the hunting season.
As to other small game, such as
wild turkeys, pheasants and rabbits,
Mr. Mosier states that they are ali
quite plentiful. In fact, he believe:
more plentiful than last year and
hunters should have good sport going
after them.

to turn the trick this year, if possi-
ble. This will be Bellefonte’s first

A Fine Musical Scheduled for To-
night.
Had it not been for the unexpect-
edly delightful concert which the
Ladies’ Volunteer Bible class of the
Bellefonte Methodist church planned
and carried through successfully last
year we would not now be advising
you to go to the church tonight at
8:15 and enjoy their attempt to re-
peat.
We feel that they are going to sur-
prise the public again this year. The
talent includes Herbert A. Wahl,
pianist, State College; D. Eugene
Wentzel, Bellwood, and Robert Owens,
Tyrone, baritones; Miss Mabel Gast,
reader, Lock Haven; Mrs. Louis
Schad, violinist, Bellefonte; Ashburne
Bros quartette, Altoona; Miss Claire
Keller, soprano, Harrisburg; and the
Temple trio, Robert Myers, cello,
Homer Lucas, violin and Reuben H.
Cree, piano, of Lock Haven.
We heard the Ashburne Brothers
last year and, for us, they could make
an evening. Many Bellefonters will
remember Eugene Wentzel’s singing
here when he was a chemist in town.
One of the rare voices at State when
he was a student there and, we hear,
grown in quality.
Really, we think you will regret it
if you don’t hear the concert tonight.
A dollar admits a whole family,
whether it comprise one or a dozen.
