and got the man thawed out sufficient-
ly to talk. He said that he was hik-
ing from New York to Pittsburgh
where he had relatives and the pro-
mise of a job. Mr. Perret took him
along to Pittsburgh and found the
young man’s story true, as his rela-
tives lived only a block from the home
of Perret’s parents.

SUMMARY OF OTHER OFFICIAL DU-
T
IES.
In addition to distributing the
amounts which have been accounted
for that came to me for support in
amounts ranging from $5.00 to $50.00
per month, the latter being the larg-
est order on my record, I have ex-
pended efforts to obtain collections
from defendants who have failed to
obey the order of court by sending
out notices. Defendants are not
rightfully entitled to this but, inas-
much in years past no effort was
made to enforce this and there were
many against whom orders were
made as long as six to eight years
ago and who had utterly disregard-
ed the same, this method was adopt-
ed. The bench warrant is the quick-
est, easiest and best method and has
been invoked in many instances with
the result that many defendants in
arrears hundreds of dollars have been
brought to time and compelled to pay
the amounts due, which service leaves
a lasting impression with the delin-
quent and carries with it the con-
vincing argument that an order of
court must be complied with. Many
families have been reunited and living
happily together who had been sepa-
rated for a greater or less period of
time, thus affording, where there
were children, the opportunity for
them to enjoy the care and protec-
tion of their parents; others whose
homes were about to he broken up
have had their differences adjusted
without airing their troubles in open
court, thus saving considerable money |

Rev. Father Downes to Celebrate 25th
Anniversary of Ordination.
The Very Reverend William E.
Downes, pastor of St. John’s Catho-
lic church, of Bellefonte, will cele-
brate the twenty-fifth anniversary of
his ordination to the priesthood on
Wednesday, January 30th. Solemn
High mass will be celebrated in St.
John’s Catholic church at 10:30
o'clock in the morning to which all
friends of Father Downes are invit-
or not. All visiting priests will be
entertained at dinner at the rectory
at 12:30 o'clock.
In this connection we might add
that Father Downes was born in Ty-
rone. He was educated at Mt. St.
Mary’s college, Emmitsburg, Md.,
the second oldest Catholic college in
the United States. Later he graduat-
ed at Mt. St. Mary’s theological sem-
inary and following his ordination to
the priesthood took a post graduate
course in Canon law at the Catholic
University, Washington, D. C. Dur-
ing his priesthood he has been assist-
ant at the pro-cathedralin Altoona
and St. Columbus, Johnstown. Before
the age of thirty years he was pas-
tor of St. Thomas church, Bedford,
coming to Bellefonte almost twelve
years ago as pastor of St. John’s
church. He is the dean of Centre
and Clinton counties in Altoona Dio-
cese, and secretary of the school
g Y board in the same Diocese.
Domestic relations and non-support
cases are increasing to an alarming
extent, few marriages: more divorces,
that is the trend of modern living.
Despite the increase in population

REPORT OF COUNTY DETECTIVE.
The report of county detective Leo
period the number of divorces in-
creased by 11,184. This is alarming
and causes an abserver to stop, think
and wonder what is going to happen
to American society.
Due to industrial conditions, it has
been a problem with defendants on
probation and parole, but notwith-
standing this difficulty employment
has been found for many, thus giv-
ing them the opportunity to earn for
themselves and families an honest
livelihood and meet the conditions as
laid down by the court.
Under the Act of Assembly of 1885
a fee of $4.00 is taxable in criminal
cases for the use of the county. This
had been overlooked for many years.
The county is now receiving the bene- |
fit of this fee and hundreds of dol-

| BELLEFONTE TRUST CO.
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Bellefonte Trust com-
pany was held on Tuesday, January
15. The board of directors was re-
i elected as follows; J. L. Spangler, J.
L. Seibert, F. L. Wetzler, C. Y. Wag-
‘nr, W. J. Emerick, J. T. Henry, A. R.
{ MeNitt, L. H. McMullen, N. E. Robb.
, The board organized by electing
Col. J. L. Spangler, president; C. Y.
Wagner, vice president; N. E. Robb,
1 secretary-treasurer; E. S. Orr, assist-
‘ant secretary-treasurer; N. E. Robb,
trust officer, and Helen R. Williams,
2nd assistant treasurer-trust officer.
The auditors appointed to audit the
"accounts reported: “We find after a
thorough audit all property pertain-
"ing to the business of the Bellefonte
Trust company to be in excellent
shape.” The stockholders were
furnished with a copy of the auditors’
report.
N. E. Robb, treasurer, reported that
the year 1928 was a banner year.
7 The capital stock was increased from
0 $180,000.00
to $200,000.00, surplus
from $100,000.00 to $120,000.00, un-
divided profits from $39,739.23 to
$48,879.45, resources were increased
‘nearly $100,000.00 and the Trust de-
i partment showed very gratifying in-
| crease.
Immediately after the adjournment
| of the stockholders meeting a very
delicious banquet was served by M.
A. Landsy, proprietor of the Brock-
erhoff hotel. There were 89 stock-
holders and friends of the company
present. J. M. Steere, vice president
in charge of the entire Trust depart-
ment of the Girard Trust company,
Philadelphia, was present and gave
a very interesting talk on the sub-
jects, “How a will Should be Drawn”
and also “How a Life Insurance Trust
Agreement Should be Drawn.” He
detailed in a very plain way the im-
portance of everyone making a will
and what a will should contain for
the protection of the legatees of the
decedent. He very briefly explained
the simplicity of how a life insur-
ance trust agreement should be drawn
so that the beneficiaries would be
protected by placing the proceeds of
the life insurance policy or policies
in trust. He said it was a very dan-
gerous thing to dump a large amount
of insurance money into the lap of a
widow or into the hands of inexperi-
enced children. He also dwelt on the
importance of making a Trust com-
pany instead of an individual the ex-
ecutor of an estate. After setting
forth all the important features of
these two subjects Mr. Steere invited
any questions that might have come
into the mind of anyone present and
answered them in a satisfactory way.
The Bellefonte Trust company, its
stockholders and friends are to be
congratulated on having been able to
secure the services of a man like Mr.
Steere to come here and give them a
talk, such as he did, on the subjects
in which everyone is vitally interest-
ed.
A very nice musical program was
arranged by Cecil A. Walker and
Miss Miriam L. Smith.

Centre County Lambs Going to State
Farm Products Show.
Centre county will be represented
at the State farm products show, in
Harrisburg next week, in the boys
and girls club department, with an
exhibition of forty-three head of fat
lambs. These lambs have been fed
out by thirteen boys and girls over
the county in pens of three. This is
the third year for a number of the
boys and girls in lamb feeding work
and their past experience has been a
great benefit to them in their lamb
club work.
According to county agent R. C.
Blaney, the lambs going to Harris-
burg this year are much better than
last year and it is expected the boys
and girls will win over a hundred dol-
lars in prize money.
The lambs will be judged in com-
petition with lambs from other coun-
ties and later will be sold to butchers
and farmers over the State. The
lambs will be sold at auction in pens
of three and four to the highest bid-
der. They will be judged on Wednes-
day, January 23rd, at ten o’clock, in
what is known as the Inez building,
or the old Duco building. The sale
will be continued in the same build-
ing the following day at two o’clock.

Many Increases in Salaries Put Up
to Legislature.
The Legislature, which reconven-
ed on Monday, will likely have for
consideration during its session an in-
| crease in salaries of many State and
county officers, if the recommenda-
| tions of the Salary Survey Commis-
| sion are acted upon. The Commission
| recommends an increase in the Gov-
| ernor’s salary from $18,000 to $20,-
1000; $15,000 a year for both the At-
torney General and Superintendent of
Public Instruction, and $10,000 an-
| nually for members of the Governor's
cabinet instead of $8,000, the present
| salary.
The salaries of all judges in the
| State would be increased $1,000,
' which would make Judge Fleming’s
' stipend in Centre county $8,000 in-
stead of $7,000. The pay of county
officers would also be increased, but
the only ones effected in Centre coun-
ty would be the county commission-
ers, whose salary would be raised from
$1,000 a year to $1,500. No other
office in this county would be affected.

High School Glee Club to Present
“Going Up,” January 29th.
On Tuesday, January 29th, the Glee
Club of the local High school will
give the spectacular production, “Go-
ing Up,” a musical version of the
famous play, “The Aviator,” at the
Richelieu theatre.
Full of fine, clean, sparkling wit
and humor, it is bound to please.
To date, this is without a doubt the
most pretentious production the club
has ever attempted. With four spe-
cial and appropriate settings and the
finest costumes available from New
York’s best studios, this show will
outclass all previous offerings.
One act stages a fine aeroplane,
realistic, and beautiful, poised for
flight. This act alone is worth the
price of the show. The charming
ballet by the little tots is a very
beautiful and delightful number.
This ballet will please you. Be on
time, as this ballet opens the show
and you will regret it if you miss it.
Out of a cast of twenty five prin-
cipals, but three of them have been
heard previously. It will be a treat
to witness and hear the fine new
artists that have been discovered and
developed. William Brachbill carries
off the lead as the “Author Aviator”
in fine style. Twelve members have
been added to the eight remaining
members of the original “Glow-Worm”
chorus which so pleased the audience
last year. This chorus is the acme of
perfect rhythm, and is beautiful in
its new and extremely difficult rou-
tine.
A chorus of sixty cadets is a very
fine number, and those who have seen
it as worked in the professional show
“Rosalie,” will recognize the work
done by this fine group of High school
students. The price will be 75 cents.
Tickets will be on sale next week.
The management guarantees this to be
the best show ever staged by the
school an assures you an evening of
splendid entertainment.

Spring Mills Vocational School Wins
in State Projects.
The results of the State vocational
project contest have just been re-

boys to have gotten a full share of
the prizes.
This contest is divided into groups,
as follows: Corn, small grains, sheep,
swine, dairy cattle, home improve-
ment, poultry, ete. All boys taking
any project are classified into some
one group. For example, all corn
projects are taken together and are
against each other, and the 10 best
ones selected as winners. This same
procedure is followed with all groups.
The winners from Spring Mills vo-
cational school in the Senior group
are:
1. Gold medal, first Nevin Stover, small
grams,
2. Silver medal, second, William Camp-
bell, sheep.
3. Bronze medal,
bell, small grains.
4. Bronze medal, third, John A. Stover,
corn.
5. 4th ribbon, fourth, W. B. Rishel, corn.
6. 4th ribbon, fourth, W. V. Godshall,
home improvement.
7. 10th ribbon, tenth, Lester Rossman,
Swine.
The winners from Spring Mills in
the Junior group, or those boys in
grades below High school, are:
1. Silver medal, second, John Zubler,
corn.
2. 5th ribbon, fifth, Lester Immel, swine.
Such a large number of wins speak
favorably in Mr. John Decker’s be-
half.
This was made possible only be-
cause of his untiring efforts and the
fine spirit of cooperation between
boys, parents, and teachers.
