have developed among the pupils in
the second grade schools in the Bish-

school has been closed all of the week
for proper fumigation. Three cases
were reported last week and no school
was held on Friday so as to permit
of fumigation, then when another
case was reported on Monday it was
decided to close the school for a week.
None of the cases are regarded as at
all serious.
How'd you like to be the gas
man? Anyone might envy his job
this week, at least. For with it goas
the opportunity to stow away all the
delicious pastries and food that Mrs.
Orris makes daily while demonstrat-
ing the Bengal gas range in this place.
Broiled tenderloin steaks, roast pork,
all the vegetables the markets afford,
and cakes galore are constantly going
onto and off the demonstrating stove
and while all the visitors get a taste
the gas men get more—they get a
stuffing.
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the
screen version will be shown at the
State theatre next Monday, Tuesday

rated as one of filmdom’s greatest
productions. It is said to run true to
the book, as well as the stage pro-
ductions, though so vastly more elabor-
ate than the latter could be that ove

Cabin” as it should be if he has nol
seen the screen version.
——Several months ago while John
McCoy was dredging out his dam he
came across an old wooden contrap-
tion which he believed to be a relic
of great historical value. State li-
brarian Frederic A. Godcharles was
notified and he, with several assist-
ants, spent the best part of a week
resurrecting the ancient apparatus
which was heralded over the State as
an old “tub mill,” a most remarkable
discovery, and which was designed for
a prize position in the State museum.
Now it has been discovered that it is
no tub mill at all, only one of the ear-
ly form of turbines, but still regarded
as a valuable relic.
~——Last Thursday afternoon trou-
ble developed on the main service
lines of the West Penn Power com-
pany and while the service was not
materially affected there were spas-
modic interruptions through a good
portion -of Friday while employees
searched for the source of the trou-
ble. It was finally found at the plant
at Milesburg where a transformer on
a 23,000 watt line burned off and a
wire fell onto a 2300 watt line, caus-
ing a short circuit that burned out
a dozen or more lightning arresters
in different places and set fire to
the poles carrying them. When the
trouble was finally located it did not
take long to remedy it,
COUNCIL URGED TO PASS
A MILK ORDINANCE.
Board of Health Alleges Milk Sold in
Bellefonte Impure.
Three members of the Bellefonte
Board of Health appeared before
borough council, at the regular meet-
ing on Monday evening, to urge the
passing of an ordinance regulating
the sale of milk in Bellefonte. John
G. Love, secretary of the board, pre-
sented the draft of an ordinance pre-
pared and sanctioned by the board at
a meeting on November 7th. It is a
voluminous instrument and provides
controlling regulations for the care
and handling of milk from the time
it is taken from the cow until it is
consumed by the purchaser. Mr. Love
also presented as Exhibit A a quart
bottle of milk alleged to have been
purchased from a Bellefonte dealer
which showed evidence of unclean and
unsanitary bottling.
John Blanchard Esq., president of
the board, emphasized the importance
of passing the ordinance as a safe-
guard to the citizens of Bellefonte.
Dr. J. L. Seibert added his bit by
stating that seventy-five per cent. of
glandular trouble in children and at
least twenty-five per cent. of the so-
called children’s diseases are direct-
ly traceable to infection from impure
milk or dirty bottles. He stated that
at the present time there are four or
five cases of bovine tuberculosis in
Bellefonte, and there has been one
death from this disease, all caused by
impure milk.
George C. Morris, a representative
of the State Board of Health, who re-
cently spent some time in Bellefonte
examining the sources of the town’s
milk supply and how the product is
handled, stated that it is not what if
should be by any means. He further
stated that it would not work a hard-
ship on any dealer to equip himself
0 handle the milk in a thoroughly
sanitary matter. In fact he estimat-
ed the expense at anywhere from $50
to $150.
The ordinance, if passed, would
place the entire regulation of the sale
of milk in the hands of the local
Board of Health, which would be em-
powered to employ an inspector for
part time at an estimated cost of
from $30 to $45 a month. Every deal-
er would be required to secure a per-
mit for the sale of his product which
permit will cost two dollars for every
hundred bottles of milk sold daily, the
permit to be good for one year. The
ordinance was referred to the Special
committee and borough solicitor.
The Street committee reported gen-
eral repairs on various streets in
town.
The Water committee reported com-
pletion of the six inch water line, on
Thomas street, and the collection of
$13.60 on the 1926 water duplicate,
$270.32 on the 1927 and $3216.68 cn
the 1928, a total of $3500.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of two notes aggregating
$2800, which was authorized.
On recommendation of the Street
committee the secretary was instruct-
ed to notify H. B. Shattuck,
borough engineer, to go ahead
with his survey for a comprehensive
map of the sewer system of Belle-
fonte.
On motion the secretary was in-
structed to notify the West Pemn
Power company of the dirty condition
of the street lamps, and that they
are badly in need of cleaning.
Mr. Badger called attention to the
fact that only three draymen operat-
ing in Bellefonte have paid an annual
license and that fourteen others have
failed to do so. President Walker
stated that the collection of such li-
censes is in the hands of the burgess
under the ordinance.
Borough solicitor N. B. Spangler
was present and notified council that
he had received the deed for the Gam-
ble mill property and outlined to
council a plan for financing the rent-
al of the mill until such time as the
borough is in shape to exercise the
optien to purchase same outright.
Mr. Spangler stated that to date the
borough has paid $8170, which rep-
resented $5000 on the principal of the
Gamble mortgage, $2820 interest and
$850 expenses of sale. There is still
owing and due John Curtin, trustee
in bankruptcy for W. H. Mayer, $9,-
612, and council authorized the pay-
ment of this amount on December
1st. Mr. Spangler was also author-
ized to draw up the necessary papers
according to his plan of financing the
proposition and submit them to coun-
cil at the next regular meeting.
Bills totaling $791.81 were approv-
ed for payment after which council
adjourned.
Features of Agricultural Extension
Meeting Tomorrow.
A big feature of the Agricultural
Extension meeting to be held in Belle-
fonte tomorrow, will be the dinner at
the Y. M. C. A. The two main at-
tractions will be a talk by Dr. H. H.
Havner, assistant director of agricul-
tural extension, of State College, on
community leadership. In addition to
the speaker, singing by the entire
group led by Cecil Walker as song
leader. The club girls under the di-
rection of Miss Mary Reynolds, home
economic worker, will sing a number
of their club songs.
It has been necessary to change the
place of meeting from the main court
room to the grand jury room, due to
the fact that the supervisors conven-
tion will meet at the same time. The
pototo meeting addresses in the af-
ternoon will be in the grand jury room,
and the ladies meeting will be in the
library in the afternoon.
BELLEFONTE HIGH HOLDS
LEWISTOWN HIGH TO 0-0.
The revived and regenerated Belle-
fonte High gridiron warriors threw
great gobs of consternation and sur-
prise into the Maroon and Steel ranks
of Lewistown, Saturday, by clearly
outplaying them and walking off their
field with the honors of a 0-0 tie.
After looking upon the local invasion
as a day of ease and relaxation, the
hoine folks betook themselves to their
homes and cigar stores with great
quietness and restraint.
The day furnished one of the finest
spectacles of High school athletics
ever witnessed by local followers and
fully repaid some two hundred of
the faithful for their journey over the
Seven mountains. The sun shone in
splendor making top-coats unneces-
sary. Two High school bands, color-
fully arrayed, paraded and spread
themselves generally. Cheer leaders
in colorful attire vied in producing
encouragement for their battling co-
horts. Clean playing, good officiat-
ing, and general good spirit entered
into the thoroughly enjoyable occa-
sion.
From the time Montgomery receiv-
ed the opening kick-off until the final
whistle neither team could gain a
distinct advantage. Bellefonte’s run-
ning and passing attack far outgained
the Lewistown advances but superior
punting and returning of punts kept
the home team in the running. The
Bellefonte line was impregnable,
yielding not a first down while two
were achieved against them through
the air. The local backs completed
several passes for substantial gains
and pounded tackles and ends for
many yards. In all nine first downs
were earned but no continued march
could be made. Kofman, Wasson and
Martin stood out prominently with
Rhoads, Bickett, Taylor, and Gunsal-
lus but slightly less brilliant for their
work on the line. ITontgomery, with
his passing and plunging, and Confer
and Thal on running plays, divided
backfield honors evenly, while Der-
stine ran the team well. Bellefonte
showed good condition by not requir-
ing a substitution.
Juniata High school, with the best
team in its history, will close the local
home season this (Friday) afternoon
at three o'clock.
Bellefonte Academy Defeated W & J.
Freshmen.
One of the best games of football
seen on Hughes field, this season, was
that last Saturday between the Belle-
fonte Academy and W & J. Freshmen,
The latter came here .with a record
of no defeats this season and were
well primed to continue their splen-
did record, but the Academy had just
an edge on the visitors and won out
by the narrow margin of one point,
the score being 14 to 13. -
CONVICT ESCAPED FRIDAY,
SENTENCED ON SATURDAY.
Raymond Mercy Hall, a convict in
the western penitentiary, has a dif-
ferent conception now of the obliga-
tion of prisoners transferred from
Pittsburgh to Rockview penitentiary
than he did last week. Hall, who was
sent up from Beaver county early in
1928 for a year and a half to three
years for larceny, was one of a car-
load of prisoners recently sent from
Pittsburgh to Rockview. Last Friday
afternoon he was put to work outside
the wire stockade and took advantage
of an opportunity to make his escape.
He was caught by penitentiary guards
up near Lemont about five o’clock on
Saturday morning, and at noontime
faced Judge Fleming in open court
and entered a plea of guilty to escape.
He toid the Judge that he did not |
know he could be given extra punish-
ment for escaping, or he might not
have tried it. The Judge gave him
an additional year and a half to three
vears and told him that when he was
taken back to Pittsburgh to make t
known among the prisoners there that
any of them who may be transferrad
to Rockview and makes a get away,
or even attempts to escape, will get
the full penalty of the law, which is
a duplicate of their original sentence
to be served after the first sentence is
completed.
John Garis, of Bellefonte, was also
brought before the court and plead
guilty to seven indictments charging
forgery. Mr. Garis, during the early
part of October, had signed his wife’s
name to six checks drawn on the
Tirst National bank of Beileforte and
the Bellefonte Trust company, and
signed his brother’s name to one chek
drawn on the Pennsvalley Banking
company. District attorney John G.
Love told the court that Garis
had promised to make good the mon-
ey obtained on the checks and pay
the costs, and that both Mrs. Gaiis
and the brother were not anxious to
push the cases but would be satisfied
with a suspended sentence. J. MM.
Keichline represented Mr. Garis and
he told the court that his client was
not really guilty of forgery in sign-
ing his wife’s name as they both had
joint bank accounts and had an agree-
ment to sign each other's name, Judge |
. Fleming suspended sentence but cau-
i tioned him not to do it again or he
will be brought into court and severe-
ly punished.

From the beginning to the end of cinity who contemplate being future where they tarried for a day before driv
the game it was a toss-up which team
would win. On end runs W. & J. had
a little the advantage of the Acad-
emy, especially in their left halfback,
who was a consistent gainer every
time he carried the ball. The Acad-
emy, however, had a slight advantage
in line-bucking, forward passes and
ability to take advantage of every
lucky break in the game. It was a
splendid exhibition of football and
proves the Academy to be one of the
strongest prep teams in the country
this fall.
The Academy will play its last
regularly scheduled game on Hughes
field, at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow (Sat-
urday) when Beckley College, of Har-
risburg, will be their opponents. This
will be the last chance to see this

ised their heartiest cooperation in

decide the eastern prep school title.
Perkiomen has not lost a game this
year while the Academy has lost one.
Mail Plane Pilot Makes Successful
Parachute Jump.
Flying east from Cleveland to New
York, on Sunday with a cargo of
mail, pilot Paul Collins made a suc-
cessful parachute landing near Brook-
ville, when one wing of his airplane

jump to save his life. The plane
crashed to the ground a total wreck.
The motor was buried so deep in the
ground little of it could be seen. Pi-
lot Collins salvaged his cargo of mail
and securing the service of a motor
truck took it into Brookville, himself
none the worse for his thrilling es-
cape.
——Weather prophets all over the
State are coming to the front with
predictions of the kind of winter we

son of at least comparatively mild
weather was indicated last Saturday
by the flight northward of thousands
of crows. Flock after flock, in al-
most a continuous stream, flew over

New Buildings Planned for State

Provision for the construction of a
in the budget recommendations which
the Governor will make to the next
session of the General Assembly.
Since the first ]
Harrisburg the various organisations
interested in it have urged that pro-
vision be made to house the exhibits
under one roof.
In past years it has been necessary
for the show management to secure
temporary use of auditoriums and
garages In scattered sections of the
city. For a visitor to see all the ex-
hibits and attend a small part of the
meetings it was necessary to travel
to separate buildings. The largest
building formerly used for the an-
nual show is now occupied by the
bureau of publications, and part of
it will be used for the storage of
State records.
Two sites, one of them on the
ground owned by the Harrisburg
State hospital, are under considera-
tion.

fathers in establishing the day.

“Calves is Calves.”
John Klinger, who farms on the
highway just west of Lemont is out
a farm hand and a $200.00 pure bred
calf he recently bought, all because
“calves is calves.”
With the idea of improving his
dairy herd Mr. Klinger recently pur-
chased a very promising pure bred
heifer calf. At the time he had a
#ade calf of about the same age and
markings in the barn. He sold the
grade to a butcher. Several days ago
the butcher called at the farm for his
calf and as the owner was away at the
time the farm hand gave him the
$200 animal.
It was not long until Mr. Klinger
discovered that the wrong calf had
heen taken. You know it is not long,
either, that a calf has to live after a
butcher gets hold of it, so it was veal
when the unhappy owner tried to re-
cover his costly live stock.
Citizens to Buy New Armory Site.
At a meeting of business men, held
in the grand jury room in the court
house, last Friday evening, the com-
mittee appointed to secure an option
on a site for the proposed new armory
for Troop B, reported that they had
taken an option on ten acres of
ground on the Harry Lutz farm at
a purchase price of $2500. As this
site has been approved by the State
armory board it was deemed the best
that could be obtained in this viein-
ity, and it was decided to exercise the
option and raise the money to pay for
the site by public subscription. Twen-
ty per cent. of the money is to be
paid by December 12th, and the bal-
ance three months hence. This
should give ample time in which to
raise the funds. The purchase of the
new site will eventually mean that the
school board will come into ownership
of the present armory.

——The young people in Centre
county must be getting scared of
each other, or else the purse strings
are being pulled tighter, as not a sin-
gle marriage license has ben issued
by register Harry Rossman in two
weeks. This is probably a record nev-
er before made since marriage ii-
censes became necessary about forty-
three years ago. Of course at that
time young folks got married whether
they had much money to start on, or
not, but today a bank account is the
one thing most needed.
——At the weekly luncheon, on
