Bellefonte, Pa., March 22, 1929.
NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
© — The Watchman’s always com-
plete report of the regular meeting
of borough council, and an interest-
ing baseball article will be found on
page 3 this week.
Sucker fishermen have made
their appearance along the streams of
Centre county and according to re-
ports some fair catches of nice suck-
ers are being made.
3 Rev. A. L. Miller, pastor of the
Methodist church at Lewistown, and
a resident of Bellefonte before he en-
tered the ministry, spoke to the Meth-
odist Brotherhood in this place last
night.
‘____We have a copy of Linn’s His-
tory of Centre county for sale. It is
in very good condition and as these
histories are hard to get we will be
glad to consider any offers made for
this one.
— The condition of Harry Hutch-
jinson, which was regarded as quite
serious following a heart attack a
week ago, is now slowly improving. .
Mr. Hutchison, however, is confined
to bed, at his home on Howard street.
— One thing is certain, this year,
and that is the Bellefonte High
school basket ball team is not worry-
ing about winning first honors in the
interscholastic league. They are far
enough behind to be out of the worry-
ing class.
— The big plate glass windows
have been placed in position in the
new portion of the Bush house lobby
and painters and decorators are now
at work on the interior. In another
week or two the place will be finished
and furnished.
Miss Lyda Jackson, of Belle-
fonte, and Miss Emeigh, of Philips-
burg, have been accepted as guests at
the Episcopal home for women at
Shippensburg, Pa. Just when the
ladies mentioned will go to the home
has not been decided.
__ Mrs. W. 1. Fleming, who has
been a patient in the Centre County
hospital since Wednesday, is regard-
ed as critically ill. Mrs. Fleming
was taken suddenly ill on Monday
evening, and her condition until yes-
terday had remained unchanged.
- Yesterday was the first day
of spring, but don’t become overly op-
timistic. The big snow storm, last
year, which did many thousand of
dollars damage, fell on April 27th and
28th, and for one week Bellefonte was
isolated from the rest of the world.
We recommend “The Barker,”
which is to be shown at the Cathaum
theatre, State College, Monday and
Tuesday nights. It will be as fine
entertainment as were “The Wolf of
Wall St” and “In Old Arizona” and
no one could reasonably demand any-
thing better than they were.
— Wild geese are on the way to
their nesting place in the northlands,
and from the: amount of honking
heard about two o'clock on Tuesday
morning quite a flock of them must
have passed over Bellefonte at that
hour. Or it is just possible the geese
were attracted by the street lights
and circled over the town several
times before continuing on their way.
The largest public sale held in
Centre county for almost a quarter
of a century was that of Harry Lutz,
a short distance east of Bellefonte, |
on Wednesday. Several thousand
people were in attendance and the
sale amounted to $11,055. One team
of horses brought $580 and one cow
$220. Mr. Lutz is retiring from the
farm which will be occupied by Boyd ,
Sampsel.
Owing to the fact that thirty-
three cases of scarlet fever have been
reported in State College by the
board of health of that town, the
board is requiring all farmers selling
milk in State College to have the
milk thoroughly tested for bacteria.
All milk trucks are required to dis-
play the dealer's license where it can
readily be seen by patrons and the
public at large.
——A meeting will be held in the
grand jury room, in the court house,
at 7:30 oclock on Monday evening,
April 1st, to perfect the organization
of a Centre county soccer league. At
that time the rules for the league will
be presented for adoption and other
important business will be presented
for consideration. Every one inter-
ested in the organization of the
league should be at the meeting.
——At Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Runkle's
five hundred party of four ‘tables,
which they entertained at their home
on north Spring street last night, the
guests included, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
Houser, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Heck-
man, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Royer,
Mr. and Mrs. William Smeltzer, Mr.
and Mrs. George Hazel, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Fortney, Mr. and Mrs. John Gar-
brick, Miss Verna Smith and Miss
Sadie Schaeffer.
— The ladies of St. Mary's
church, Snow Shoe, are planning for
many after-Lenten social gayeties
and intend starting them off with a
grand ball on Wednesday evening,
April 38. They expect to have “The
Royal Five’ orchestra for the dance
and as it made a great hit on thé oc-
casion of its last appearance there
the local boys will play an entirely
new program of dance music. They
are out to please. a :
BAND MASTER WETZLER i
SURPRISED BY “OUR BOYS.”
When enticed to the Bush house in
‘this place, Monday evening, Frank L.
Wetzler, gentleman and band master
of Milesburg, was so over-whelmed:
with the sight that greeted him that
he broke down completely. It was
enough to move any strong heart, for
there were forty of the men whom,
as youths, he had gathered together
on St. Patrick’s day, 1913, and start-
ed on the way of becoming “Our
Boys Band,” one of the notable musi-
cal organizations of this section fif-
teen years ago.
i The whole affair had been planned
so carefully that Mr. Wetzler hadn't
a thought of the tribute that was be-
ing paid him until he was led into
the dining room where the daintily
laid tables hinted as to what was to
follow.
Dallas Bullock acted as toastmast-
"er for the testimonal dinner and be-
fore “Our Boys” were seated asked
all to bow the head for a moment in
_silent tribute to the memory of Les- |
| ter McClellan, Quay McKinley,
{ George Johnson, Leroy Barnhart and
| Gilbert Newman, the quintet of band-
men and pals, who will never respond
to the baton of their earthly director
again.
The dinner was a sumptuous affair,
with one another that made it an
event long to be remembered. There
were no set speeches, but everyone
gave testimony packed with expres-
sion of loyalty and gratitude for the
impress the gentleman they were
honoring has made on their lives.
The talk of Henry Schalles, president
of the First National bank of Bell-
wood, long time friend of Mr. Wetz-
ler, on “Wetzler, the man,” was
guest of honor.
While the dinner was arranged for
by the members of “Our Boys” band
some of the guests were of older or-
ganizations in Milesburg when Mr.
Wetzler, himself, was only a solo
cornet player. They were Harry
Meyer, of Bellwood, of the 1884 or-
ganization and Lane Boggs, of Pitts-
burgh, and Tom Campbell, of Re-
novo, all great musicians in the fine
band that Milesburg had in 1895.
The others present were: Edgar
Wagner, Malcolm Wetzler, Milford
Dunkle, Roland Byran, Dick Stanley,
Walter Hugg, George, James and
Chas. Sheckler, Bryson Baird, Wayne
Bryan, John Dyke, George Newman.
Russell Miles, Enoch Smith, Robert
Barnhart, Harry and Willis McClel-
lan, Hardman Gray, Leonard RR.
Glenn, Malcolm Zimmerman, Norman
Shawley, Lewis Wetzler, all of Miles-
burg. Samuel Waite, Ray Johnson
Cameron McKinley and Donald
Klinger, of Bellefonte; Dallas Bul-
lock, of State College; Earl and
Charles Stanley, of Tyrone; Gray Mc-
Kinley, of Pittsburgh; Andrew Boggs,
Howard; Hayes Pletcher and his
three sons, Eldred, Calvin and Allen,
of Eagleville, all of whom were mem-
bers of “Our Boys.” Elmer Rockey,
of Bellefonte, was specially invited be-
cause he was the bus driver the boys
all preferred when they went on trips.
It is just possible that the dinner
might result in a temporary reorgan-
ization of the band. It was suggested
that they get together some time
soon for a long enough time for prop-
er rehearsals and then give a concert
to further the cause of a memorial
band hall in Milesburg.
LADIES NIGHT AT |
: KIWANIS MEETING.
John Bullock had charge of the
ladies’ night program of the Belle-
fonte Kiwanis club, on Tuesday night.
The program consisted of several
selections by
and octet. Irvin Martin also enter-
tained with his musical saw and vocal
selections. ; ;
Dr. Carroll D. Champlin, of the de-
partment of education and psychol-
ogy at the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, was the speaker of the evening.
His subject was “Extra Dividends.”
Dr. Champlin first. discussed sev-
eral classes of investments which
pay dividends. Among them are in-
vestments in money, time, health,
and study. He then discussed the
dividends of life which these invest-
ments pay. They are as follows: 1
money, (2) friendships, (3) physical
vigor, (4) mental ability, (5) voca-
tional and professional skill, (6) rec-
reation, and (7) self-realization. The
last mentioned is the greatest of all.
The doctor then mentioned men
whose lives are now paying large
dividends because of wise investments
made along these lines.
The lucky ladies to receive prizes
were Mrs. Mary A. Walker, Mrs.
Frieda Kerlin, Mrs. Bertha Runkle,
Mrs. Frank Hockman, Mrs. H. H.
Murtorff, Mrs. Julia E. Baney, Mrs.
F. M. Crawford.
—— A story reached this office
from the western end of the. county,
last week, that while stock and farm
machinery at public sales were bring-
ing good prices there was little cash
in evidence: so little, in fact, that
there is hardly enough to settle with
the auctioneer and clerk, and that
banks are mot discounting the notes.
Inquiry at the Bellefonte banks re-
vealed the = fact that they are dis-
counting sales notes, as usual, and re-
gard them as some of their best and
most pofitable business. Other banks
are probably doing the same. or
but it was the contact of “Our Boys” |
a fine tribute to the character of the
of Philipsburg; Earl Cartwright, of '
the Kiwanis quartet’
THE RIPKA BROTHERS
PAROLED FROM JAIL.
In open court, on Saturday morn-
ing, Judge Fleming granted a parole
to D. E. Ripka and Elias: W. Ripka,
of Spring Mills, who had served the
minimum sentence of one to two
years imposed on them in February,
1928, after they plead guilty to the
charge of stealing the automobiles
of J. H. Rishel, at Spring Mills, and
1. I. “Thompson, of Stormstown. The
automobiles were stolen early in No-
vember, 1927, the Rishel car being
found at Jersey Shore several weeks
later. The Thompson car was also
recovered. When they entered pleas
of guilty the two men were sentenc-
ed to pay the costs of prosecution,
one hundred dollars fine each, and un-
dergo imprisonment in the county
jail for not less than one year nor
more than two. ;
{ In their application for parole, on
Saturday, the men were represented
by W. D. Zerby Esq., who told the
court that all the costs and fines
have been paid and that the men had
‘been model prisoners. In granting
the parole the court told the men
that while they will be released from
jail they are still subject to any re-
strictions the parole officer may see
| fit to impose and will be until the ex-
piration of the term of their maxi-
mum sentence. He also told them
that they are under a moral obliga-
tion to make good any damage the
men from whom they stole the cars
may have suffered.

Methodist Conference Changes.
After selecting the Fifth street
church, Harrisburg, as the place for
holding the annual conference in 1930
the Central Pennsylvania conference
of the Methodist church adjourned
at Clearfield, on Monday afternoon,
with the announcement of the ap-
pointments by Bishop McDowell. The
changes in pastorates this year were
just about normal. Rev. Homer C.
Knox was returned to the Bellefonte
church for his fifth year and other
changes in Centre county are as fol-
lows:
Halfmoon—Charles E. Fuller.
Milesburg and Unionville—M. H.
Crawford.
Sandy Ridge—Robert D. Martin.
Port Matilda—J. F. Winkleblech.
Salona and Lamar—John A. Hoov-
er.

Rev. J. B. Stein, who was returned
to the active ministry, was assigned
‘to Saxton. H. W. Hartsock goes to
the First church, Tyrone, from Mount

Deceased Minister's Brief Will.
A letter addressed to his daugh-
ter and found among his personal
effects, has been probated at Sun-
bury as the last will and testament
of the late Rev. E. H. Yocum, of Nor-
thumberland. In the letter the de-
ceased minister directs that “after
all bills are paid his estate be divided
into three bits.” The only heirs are
his daughter, Mrs. C. W. Rice, of
Northumberland, and two sons, Gen.
C. and John Paul Yocum.
— In order to handle the
freight business from the big hydrat-
ing plant of the American Lime and
Stone company, without blocking the
Y at the round house, the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad company is building a
new track from the plant south of
the Y and engine house to connect
with the siding at the plant of the
Sheffield Farms company. Hereto-
fore all the shifting of cars, in and
out from the plant, has been done
over the Y with the result that it in-
terfered considerably with the turn-
ing of engines, and it is to overcome
this interference that the new track
is being built.
Every event was hotly
contested but the Academy boxers |

I ER EOE TATE I FE SA RRO,
UNDINES CELEBRATE ON
ST PATRICK'S DAY.
Following their long established
custom the members of the Undine
Engine company assembled in their
home on Bishop street, Monday night,
to enjoy their thirty-first annual St.
Patrick’s day banquet The date for
these annual affairs commemorates
the dedication of their substantial en-
gine house which occurred March 17,
1898.
All of the apparatus had been re-
moved from the main floor and it was
wonderfully festooned with drapes
symbolic of the day. Covers were
laid for 200 and every place was tak-
en when caterer John Marks and his
Undine assistants started serving the
delicious repast. When the last course
had been disposed of chief George
Carpeneto, of the Undine Co., called
the banqueters to order and in a. happy
introductory speech presented State
Fire Marshal William J. Morgan, of
Harrisburg. The distinquished guest
spoke at length on the problems of
volunteer firemen. He was followed
by Father William E. Downes, Sec-
retary Charles E. Dorworth, burgess
Hardman P. Harris, Roy Wilkinson,
town fire marshal John J. Bower
Esq., Ogden B. Malin, chief of the
Logan Co. District Atty. John G.
Love and others. All of the talks
were of a congratulatory character
and freighted with well deserved
praise of the efficiency of the local °
fire department.
Sheckler’s orchestra furnished the
music and Irvin Martin contributed
| songs and musical saw numbers. As
the evening advanced so did the spirit
of the event and it was late inthe
‘night before the last of the good
stories had been told and the orches-
tra grew too tired to play for any
more amateur dancing exhibitions. Tt
was a grand affair.
TWO MEN ARRESTED
FOR ROBBING BOX CAR.
|
| Thomas Fye and James Emel, liv-
ing down near the Red Roost, were
| arrested, on Tuesday, by chief of po-
lice Harry Dukeman and railroad of-
ficer Fred Giles, of Tyrone, on the
charge of robbing a box car, as it
stood in the Bellefonte yard, of mer-
chandise valued at from four to five
hundred dollars.
The robbery happened on or about
February 17th, and for some time
roalroad officials were uncertain
, whether it took place here or in Phil-
adelphia. After considerable work
| they finally became convinced that
, the theft took place in Bellefonte and
. officers Giles and Wibley came here
| a week ago to pursue the investiga-
tion. With the aid of policeman
Dukeman they traced the robbery to
: Fye and Emel. The fact that some of
| the stolen stuff was found in their
possession is taken as evidence that
they are guilty.
Included in the stolen merchandise
were about $250 worth of ladies silk
underwear, cigars and cigarettes,
macaroni, canned soups and vege-
tables, crackers, honey and a number
of other things. As over a month
has passed since the robbery much
of the stuff had been disposed of.
“THE BARKER” COMING
TO CATHAUM NEXT WEEK.
“The Barker,” a thrilling talking
and sound picture made from the
famous stage play of the same name
L by Kenyon Nicholson, will be the at-
{traction at the Cathaum theatre,

| noon program if you arrive before
| three o'clock. The evening showing
| begins at six.
| “The Barker” is the greatest por-
| trayal of carnival life that has ever
|
been brought to the screen and it has
} Jone record-breaking business dur-
ing its run in New York at regular
theatre prices. Milton Sills has the
title role and you will hear him talk
for the first time in the finest char-
acterization he has ever done. You
will also hear Dorothy Mackaill, who
is co-starred, and Betty Compson
and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who head
the supporting cast. You'll hear the
noise and excitement of a traveling
tent show. You'll see a wonderful
love story lived before your eyes—in
fact three different love stories—in
this famous First National Vitaphone
production.
“The Crucifixion” to be Sung Good
Friday Evening.
At St. John’s Episcopal church on
good Friday evening, Satiner’s “Cruci-
fixion” will be sung by an augment-

Robert Walker, Mrs. Louis Schad,
Mr. Cecil Walker, Mr. Russell Blair,

Emel.

most fitting climax to the Lenten sea-
son and a greater realization of the
suffering and death upon the cross of
our blessed Christ. Service starts at
The very successful evangelis-
tic services which have been held in
the United Brethren church for the
past six weeks, will be concluded with

The Salvation Army is going to

in Bellefonte for the reason that the

A post has been located here for
several years and has incurred some
! debts that the Army will pay before
withdrawing. It is a rule of this
wonderful world-wide welfare organ-
ization to leave no unpaid debts in
any of the fields in which it has
worked. Accordingly it will clean up
before withdrawing from Bellefontes
The question is: Does our com-
munity want some outside commun-
ity to pay for bills contracted in an
endeavor to do good among us?
A numberof interested gentlemen
here have made a careful investiga-
tion of the work the Salvation Army
has done here, checked up on the un-
paid bills and are convinced that we
ought to raise enough to pay them
off. The committee comprised Revs.
Knox, Thena, and Thompson, of the
local ministerium, Judge Fleming, W.
Harrison Walker HEsq., Samuel M.
Shallcross, Walter R. Cliffe and Earl
S. Orr. It urges a generous response
to the appeal of the Salvation Army
and suggests that even should you
not be visited by a solicitor that a
contribution be given or mailed to
Earl S. Orr, treasurer of this special
fund, of Bellefonte, Pa.
