WETZLER'S BAND
ENTERTAINS PARENTS.
Monday night will be remembered
as an epoch making one in the his- |
tory of Wetzler's juvenile band of
Milesburg and Bellefonte. The or-
ganization turned out to the number
of 101 to entertain their parents and
friends in the gymnasium of the Y.
M. C. A.
It was really a pre-hearing of the
repertoire which #Mr. Wetzler and
his youthful musicians have been pre-
paring, during the winter months,
for the concerts they might be en-
gaged to play during the coming
season. While it was natural that
it should be gwen to only the par-
ents and other friends most intimate-
ly interested there were other rea-
sons for its not having been made
the occasion of a public gathering.
In the first place the Y gym was
comfortably filled as it was. In the
second, the hundred per cent. turn
out of members and friends afforded
the opportunity of having a business
meeting with full representation.
The performance of the band was,
indeed a surprise. Considering that
many of its members are only sev-
en years old and that it was gotten
together for the first time in October,
1927, and made its first appearance
only last Memorial day there was
real season for surprise. The best
school teachers in the land have dif-
ficulty making little folks do more
than learn their letters in one year—
and they have them for six hour
stretches five days a week. Here
were numbers of them, scarcely out
of the primary grades, playing Grade
III music and doing it well. Their
sensitiveness to the director’s baton
was so acute as to give us the im-
pression that Mr. Wetzler is nothing
more nor less than a modern “Pied
Piper of Hamlin.” Their attack was
forceful, pianissimo movements were
smooth and nicely sustained ‘and cres-
cendos and diminuendos shaded quite
effectively.
We don’t know how their parents
reacted to it. If they didn’t thrill
with pride and pleasure they lost the
sensation we got from it.
At the completion of the first half
of the program there were brief talks
by Judge M. Ward Fleming, George
R. Meek and Secretary Heineman of
the Y. The speakers were introduced
by Earl Hoffer who was substitut-
ing for William Ridge, chairman of
the committee on arrangements. The
latter's associates on the committee
were Harry Alters and Miss Ella Mil-
ler, of Bellefonte; James Oswalt and
Mrs. L. R. Woodring, of Milesburg,
and Mrs. Eminhizer, of Coleville.
After the final number on the pro-
gram had been played the business
meeting was held.
Director Wetzler presided at the
business meeting and read a financial
statement which showed that the
band has a small credit balance in
two open accounts and $1800.00 in-
vested against the day that we hope
will be soon coming when it can build
or permanently secure a hall large
enough to accommodate it for rehears-
als. The fact of the matter is that
it has grown so large that it is dif-
ficult to find a place with sufficient
room to seat the organization in such
a way as to afford the director prop-
er audition.
The matter of uniforming the band
was then taken up. Naturally that
is a problem, for with little fellows
growing like bad weeds an outfit
that would fit neatly in the spring
would bust if they blew hard in the
fall. :
The difficulty was solved by Mr.
Wetzler, himself, when he suggested
capes. They are relatively inexpen-
sive, give a good effect and are not
easily out grown. Accordingly it
was unanimously decided to clothe
the band in navy blue over seas caps,
with gold cording, a musician's
wreath on one side in gold and the
name “Wetzler’s” on the other. The
capes are to be navy blue lined with
gold cloth and the knickers navy-
blue plus-fours.
It does not take much of an im-
agination to picture what the band
will look like when it turns out in
that regalia and a sensation is cer-
tainly in store for the community
when it makes its first public ap-
pearance.

Interesting Questions Ably Discussed
by Kiwanians.
The Kiwanians had a very lively
and interesting time on Tuesday. The
meeting was in charge of the com-
mittee on Kiwanis education. J. R.
Hughes acted as chairman and gave
a brief talk on the relation of educa-
tion and Christianity to success in
professional and business life. He al-
so emphasized the fact that educa-
tional standards and requirements
are increasing so rapidly that noth-
ing less than our best efforts can
properly prepare our young people
for their future positions.
Arthur Sloop made a short address
on “The Meaning pf Citizenship.”
The keynote of his talk was, that
real citizenship begins when leader-
ship is transferred from the hands
of Kings to the hands of the people.
Among the visitors were the fol-
lowing persons:—Messrs. A. C. Graz-
ier, of State College, and the three
county auditors, Robert Musser, of
Spring Mills; Samuel B. Holter, of
Howard, and O. J. Stover, of Blanch-
ard.
The meeting adjourned to meet
next Tuesday night, when the la-
dies will be invited to join them.

| CONCLUDING CASES TRIED
IN FEBRUARY COURT.
When the Watchman went to press,
last week, the case on trial in com-
mon pleas court was that of Harry
Resides vs. J. D. Neidigh and M. W.
Neidigh, trading and doing business
as Neidigh Bros., an action in tres-
pass to recover alleged damages as
the result of a collision between
plaintiff's taxi and defendant's truck
The accident
happened at or about the intersection
of south’ Allen street and Hamilton
avenue, State College. The jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.
Jennie L. Burt vs. J. W. Henszev.
This case was from State College and
was the result of the purchase of a
lot by the plaintiff from the defend-
ant, and misunderstanding as to com-
pliance with covenants in the deed
and agreement by the defendant to
repurchase the lot from the plaintiff.
Verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
$1400, without interest, being the
price alleged by the plaintiff that de-
fendant had agreed to pay.

trading and doing business as Decker
Chevrolet company, an action in re-
plevin to recover possession of a-Pon-
tiac automobile, alleged to have been
given as part pay on the purchase of
a new automobile. At the close of
the plaintiff's testimony defendant
made a motion for a compulsory
non-suit, which was granted.
On Thursday Judge Marion D. Pat-
terson, of Blair countv, presided over
the case of S. D. Stine Inc. vs. Stine
Coal Mining company, being an ac-
tion to recover an alleged balance on

THREE MEN SENTENCED.
At a session of court, on Wednes-
day morning, Lee Cowher, who was

brought before the court and sentenc-

PLENTY OF GAME
STILL IN MOUNTAINS.
Several weeks ago the Watchman
published a story of the apparent
scarcity of deer in the Seven moun-
tains, based on the report of a Belle-
fonte man who had made a trip into
the mountains several days after a
deep fall of snow and saw only two
tracks, but according to the claim of
game protector Thomas G. Mosier,
this week, there is still plenty of
game in the mountains. At least it
is plentiful enough to eat up one
hundred bushels of corn on the ear
that he has put out and he sent in a
requisition, on Monday, for twenty-
five more bushels.
Mr. Mosier explains the absence of
tracks in the Seven mountains at the
time the Bellefonte man was there by
the fact that deer do not travel much
for some days after a deep snow, espe-
cially if they arelyingin a thicket
where there is plenty of food. Last
week he made a trip through the
Seven mountains, down the valley
from Walter Gherrity’s and through
Decker valley, and while he saw only
five deer he avers there were plenty
of tracks and every evidence of some '
goodsized herds.
Of course, considering the number
of deer killed in that locality, last
fall, it goes without saying that they
are not as plentiful as they were a
year ago. This is manifest by the
fact that the deer have not been
trespassing on farms along the moun-
tains this winter as they did last, al-
though Mr. Mosier has had one com-
plaint from a resident of Decker val-
ley.
Out on the Allegheny mountains, |
| he avers, there is every evidence that
deer are more plentiful than they
have been in many years. Feed put
out out there for wild turkeys and
other birds was eaten by deer before
the turkeys got a chance at it, and
the feeding ground was tramped
down as if a flock of sheep had been
harbored there.
Another place where the deer are
ley and on Nittany and Brush moun-
tains. Trapper Dearmit, of Hecla
Park, who has a line of fox traps out
in the valley, avers that there are ten
deer there this winter to every one
last year, and from the number of
trails leading in all directions it looks
as if the deer from other sections in
the county have gone into winter
quarters there. ;
Centre: county hunters will be glad
to know that last season’s kill has not
resulted in depleting the deer popula-
tion to a point where hunting will be
no good next fall, and game protector
Moiser’s forecast should at least be
regarded as fairly accurate.

Methodist Conference Now in Session
at Clearfield.
The annual Central Pennsylvania
Conference of the Methodist church
convened in the First church, Clear-

Dowell presiding. Two charges will
be merged at this session of Confer-
ence, the Catawissa circuit and the
Buckhorn-Rupert . charge. Eleven
candidates for the ministry ‘will be
examined and passed upon during the
Conference. This is considered an
unusually large class, in these days
when the average young man has a
greater hankering after the weekly
pay envelope than he has after a life
vocation.

Four Townships Granted Permission
to Increase Road Taxes.
A brief session of court was held
at two o'clock on Monday afternoon
to consider petitions from taxpayers
of four townships for permission to
increase the millage for road pur-
poses. The petitions were as follows:
Gregg township, for an increase of
two mills; Howard township, five
mills; Huston township, five mills,
and Union township, three mills.
No objections being made to any of
the above petitions the court grant-
ed all of them and promptly adjourn-
ed out of respect to the late Col.
H. S. Taylor, a member of the bar.
After adjournment a resident from
upper Bald Eagle valley made his ap-
pearance and on learning that the
petitions had all been granted re-
marked: “Well ,it will mean more tax
for the farmers to pay and more
money for the supervisiors to spend,
but unless they change their way of
fixing up the roads we'll still be in the
mud.”

“IN OLD ARIZONA” IS
BEST TALKING PICTURE.
The greatest talking picture that
has yet been produced, and the first
natural, out-of-doors picture made
entirely in sound and dialogue, “In
Old Arizona” will be the attraction
at the Cathaum Theatre, State Col-
lege, on Friday and Saturday of this
week.
This picture comes with the per-
sonal endorsement of the manage-
ment as the best entertainment ever
presented via sound and talking pic-
tures. It comes to the Cathaum while
still running at advanced prices at
the Fox-Locust theatre, Philadelphia,
and in other large cities.
The story of “In Old Arizona” is
of the romantic southwest. Its cen-
tral figures are a notorious bandit
and killer who had eluded all at-
tempts to capture him, a fiery girl
whom he loved, and a United States
cavalry sergeant who was assigned to
capture the bandit who fell in love
with the girl. The sergeant persuad-
ed<her to betray the bandit. That is
the germ of the plot, but it does not
begin to describe the fascination of
hearing the tri-Warner Baxter, Doro-
thy Burgess and Edmund Lowe-—
speak their lines; of the accompany-
ing sounds and the novelty of having
a score of famous film players in the
supporting cast, among whom are

——People planning to go to the
Cathaum theatre at State College to
enjoy the unusual programs it is of-
fering should remember that a com-
plete show, just the same as the night
offering, can be seen if you are in the
theatre by three o'clock. This makes
it very convenient for those fortunate
enough to have time to devote to en-
tertainment in the afternoon. In al-
most any part of the county one can
have dinner at home, motor to the
College to see a complete show and
be back home in time for a six or
six-thirty supper.
