Hallow-een Party Given by Sixth
Grade School Pupils.
The pupils of the sixth grade, Al-
legheny street school, celebrated the
Hallow-een season with a party held
in the school room on Friday after-
noon. The room was appropriately
decorated with black cats, bats, owls, '
pumpkins and witches, cut out by the
pupils as part of their industrial
work.
Features of the entertainment in-
cluded the “witches’ cauldron,” Mar-
garet Beaver taking the part of the
witch. All the pupils took part in the
“ghostly silence,” in which Jane Cur-
tin appeared in the role of ghost.
Each pupil’s fortune was told by Jean
McGarvey, the gypsy fortune teller.
Madeline Purnell played the part of
chief announcer, with Jane McCoy as
assistant.
The clown stunts caused much ex-
citement. The clowns were Cather-
inne Kilpatrick, Thelma Sanders, Ed-
ward Malloy, Ivar Hansen, Guy Poor-
man, Robert Brown, Pauline Witmer
and Jean Emel. Another interesting
feature was the minstrel given by
Budd Moyer, Homer Knox, Frank
Sasserman, Samuel Jones, Jonas
Vorie and Milford Stine.
All the pupils were in costume.
Paul Lose represented a typical
tramp; Philip Cronemiller and Eliza-
beth Montgomery, Mexicans. Others
in the sixth grade who contributed to
the success of the party were LeRoy
Rider, Mabel Musser, Dorothy Derr,
Russell Moyer, Harry Davis, George
Cain, Neil Shay, David Mills, Hazel
Dunlap, Marjorie Houser, Mary Qui-
ci, Marie Nelson, Mary Baumgardner,
Charlotte Watson, Eleanor Wion,
Beulah Shultz, Luther Casper, Charles
Eberhart, Betty and Genevieve Hamp-
ton, Marian Morrison and Dorothy
Sager. Jack Wilkinson, who is quite
seriously ill in tke Philipsburg hos-
pital, was greatly missed by his
teacher, Mrs. Paul McGarvey, and all
his companion pupils.
Following the entertainment part
of the program the children were
served with apples, doughnuts, candy
corn and peanuts, after which school
was dismissed.
Well Known Couple Celebrate Their
Golden Wedding.
Sunday, November 4th, was the
fiftieth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Grove and
in celebration of the event a delicious
dinner was served at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Willis A. Grove, on Rey-
nolds avenue. The guests present in-
cluded Mr. and Mrs. William Grove,
Mrs. Minnie Knapp and son Harold,
of Lemont; Mr. and Mrs. Harry E.
Grove and daughter Freda, of Norris-
town; Orin Grove, of Pennsburg; Mr.
and Mrs. Willis Grove, Mr. and Mrs.
Herman Hazel, Mrs. Thomas Hazel,
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Haag, Rev. and
Mrs. S. S. Mumey, all of Bellefonte;
Mrs. Etta Wynn, of Bigler, and Mrs.
Clinton Swartz, of Tyrone.
After the big dinner had been dis-
posed of Willis Grove presented Mr.
and Mrs. William Grove with a num-
ber of gifts of gold, which they ac-
cepted with heartfelt thanks. Brief
speeches of congratulation were made
by Orin Grove and Rev. Mumey, and
the pleasant gathering broke up after
singing “Blest be the Tie that Binds.”
Red Cross Membership Drive Will
Begin Next Monday.
Four types of memberships will be
sought here by the local chapter of
the American Red Cross when it be-
gins its twelfth annual roll call on
Armistice day, November 11. The
enrollment will continue through
Thanksgiving day.
The bulk of the one thousand mem-
bers the chapter expects to enroll will
be dollar memberships, local officers
say, but many persons will be asked
for the other three types of member-
ships carrying with them fees of five,
ten and twenty-five dollars.
The larger memberships are nec-
essary, it was explained, for the sup-
port of the local work of the chapter,
inasmuch as only fifty cents of each
membership fee goes to national
headquarters for the financing of na-
tional and international work. From
the one dollar membership, fifty cents
goes to national headquarters and
fifty cents remains in the chapter
treasury, while from the five dollar
memberships $4.50 will stay in Belle-
fonte and the $25.00 memberships will
put $24.50 into the local treasury.
As many of the larger types of
memberships will be secured as pos-
sible, as chapter officers say it is vir-
tually impossible to carry on the lo-
cal service program from revenues
derived from the one dollar member-
ships aolne.

THE COUNTRY GOES HOOVER
The strangest election ever record-
ed in the United States made political
history on Tuesday when Herbert
Hoover was swept into the Presidency
by a vote of the people, rather than
of any political party.
He carried not only all of the bor-
der States, but broke into the Solid
South to take Virginia, Florida, North
Carolina and Texas for the first time
they have ever given their electoral
vote to the candidate of the Republi-
can party.
Smith cariied only eight States, but
paradexical as it may seem, among
them were the normally Republican
States of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island.
Governor Smith lost his own State
by about 95,000 votes, but while he
was doing that the entire Democrat-
ie State ticket was elected in New
York.
The electoral wote will probably
stand 25 it was reported yesterday:
444 to 87.
In all probability the avalanche has
cost the Democrats eight seats in the
United States Senate and from thirty
to forty in Congress.
Many of the contests are still so
much in doubt that it will be impos-
sible to say before next week exactly
what did happen.
The Election in Centre County.
The. election in Centre county, on
Tuesday, was characterized by the
fact that the largest vote ever cast in
Centre county was polled, and all the
candidates in the Republican column
registered larger majorities than
were ever given any men in the coun-
ty. But it was not a Republican vie-
tory on party lines, as thousands of
Democrats contributed to the success
of their opponent’s candidates.
Naturally Hoover lead the ticket
with the largest vote and majority,
while Holmes had the smallest vote
but at that had a majority over An-
drew Curtin Thompson of 4636.
The county library was lost by 3651
of a majority against it, and the one
gratifying thing in the entire vote is
the way Centre county people stood
behind the State College eight mil-
lion dollar bond issue. Just 8707 vot-
ed for it and 2503 against it.
Governor Smith carried only three
precincts in Centre county. They were
Penn Twp., East Snow Shoe and East
Gregg.
The county library proposition car-
ried iti the boroughs of State College
and Snow Shoe and Burnside Twp.
Following is the total vote cast in
the county for all candidates and the
fourteen amendments:

just returned from an extended tour
of the Far East, was the principal
speaker at a dinner.
“The American investor,” said Me-
Keon, “may safely ignore the many
rumors of plots and counter-plots, or
wars and threats of war, that have
come recently from that section of
eastern Asia.
“Young Marshal Chang, Manchur-
ia’s ‘Prince of Wales’ and heir to the
estate and office of the late war-lord
Chang Tso-Lin, has announced an
‘open door’ policy in Manchuria and
has invi American investments.
President Yammoto of the Japanese-
owned South Manchuria Railway, has
done the same, guaranteeing a 7 per
cent. return for ten years, a guaran-
tee backed up by the Imperial Gov-
ernment.
“The railroad, which is more of a
civilizing agency than a transporta-
tion system, has brought in its wake
modern cities with paved streets, elec-
trie lights, power plants, schools and
hospitals.

tung and Chihli will have arrived in
Manchuria this year to take up
farms. Bumper crops are reported.
of the country and new wealth to the
extent of $500,000,600 is being creat

“Altogether, this looks like a boom
for that part of the Far East and the
American investor is finding there a
rich field for his capital.”

The Hawaiians at The State,
Since the management of the State
theatre has announced that Aldrich’s
Imperial Hawaiians will appear in
person during the run of the film “A
Trip to the Hawaiian Islands” much
interest has been manifest by geo-
graphical students and musical en-
thusiasts, as it is considered one of
the most colorful combinations
ed, and its authentic photography of
the beautiful Pacific Islands, enbanc-
ed by its native musical setting, make
it educational as well as highly en-
tertaining.
The picture and the Hawaiian mu-
sicians will be at the State next Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday even- |

| Complete banning of the baskets
followed hundreds of arrests for il-
legal taking of game fish in them. In
| many instances the operators con-
' ducted a thriving business in the sale
of the illegally obtained fish.
Each year since 1925 the commis-
i sion has found it necessary to make
i scores of arrests for violations of the
: fish basket provision. In many in-
' stances employes of the commission
spent days in tearing down the Wing
walls. When they returned later they
found the walls had been rebuilt and
the baskets in operation, making ad-
ditional arrests necessary. Some of
the walls destroyed had been built

' Chinese Leader Orders Women’s Feet
Liberated.
{ Women of Honan are to totter no
! longer on tiny bound feet. Marshal
‘Feng Yuhsicng, the revolutionary
ruler of the province, has not only
prohibited binding the feet of young
girls, but also has ordered that the
feet of their mothers and grand-
mothers must be loosed from their
bonds.
. This abolition of “lily feet,” which
Chinese for generations have consid-
ered among woman’s greatest charms
but which appear as cruel deformities
to most Occidentals, is to be accom-
plished by persuasion if possible, but
by direct official action if necessary.
A propaganda against foot binding is
being carried out in women’s meet-
ings, in newspapers and wall posters.
To enforce his edict Marshal Feng
has established a “bureau for the lib-
eration of the feet of the women,”
whose agents make house-to-house
| visits. Heads of households in which
| bound feet are found are to be pun-
‘ished. Agents are promised a bounty
‘of $2.50 for every hundred sets of dis-
carded foot wrappings they turn in,
and one month of the campaign
i brought in more than 25,000 sets.
| Licensed Planes Total Only 2,524
{ Although the aeronautics branch of
, the department of commerce has issu-
' ed its ten thousandth airplane num-
ber there are far from that many air-
‘ planes licensed today, it was said by
officials.
The actual number of licensed
planes is 2,524 while 1,855 others
have ben reported to the government
but are not licensed. Some addition:
al planes are probably in existence
in the United States, but not in suffi-
cient numbers to have a total of 10,~
000, it is said. :
The government total of planes is
14,379 while the number of licensed
pilots is 3,792. Because numbering
beyond 999 would Foquite too many
figures and thus encumber the wings, a
new system of numbering is bein
used adding the capital E to eac
number.
. The Center Airways, Inc, a
Philipsburg organization with a capi-
tol of $50,000, was chartered at Har-
risburg last week. It is the purpose
{of the organization to establish an
airport at Kylerstown, where the air-
mail emergency landing field is now
located.
—Next week being national book
week, celebrate it by making a contri-
bution to the boys and girls depart-
| ment of the Y. M. C. A. library.
