-— Demonic ald Bellefonte, Pa., April 19, 1929. NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Smith celebrated their silver wedding an- niversary, on Sunday, by taking 2 motor trip to Williamsport. —The new A. & P. store in the Mc: Clain block, next door to the Watch- man office, is stocked with groceries and opened for business yesterday. — Shirley Ann is the name of a little daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Gates, of Hecla park, at the Centre County hospital, on Tues- day morning. Both babe and mother are getting along splendidly. The condition of Mrs. W. L Fleming, who has been a patient in the Centre County hospital for a month or more, is slightly improved, and she has been able to take liquid nourishment, but she is still a very sick woman. A womanless wedding is a unique innovation, but there is promise that it will be portrayed to perfec- tion by the Bellefonte Academy boys on the nights of May 15th and 16th. Keep your dates open for this amus- ing entertainment. ——=Senator Schantz declares that his obligations as chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation at the last convention of the National Legisla- ‘tors’ association increased his ex- pense bill to double those of his col- leagues. Hospitality is expensive at ‘times. ——The House of Representatives in Harrisburg, on Monday night, passed finally the Scott bill appropri- ating $6,261,000 to the Pennsylvania State College, and the bill is now in the hands of Governor Fisher. Of the above amount $2,500,000 is for new buildings. ——The ground was frozen yester- day morning and the effect of the cold on the cherry and plum trees, which are in full bloom, is a matter of much concern. If the crop has been blighted it will be the third season, in succession, of partial failure be- cause of weather conditions. ——=Seven student nurses at the Centre County hospital will graduate on Friday evening, May 3rd, with ex- ercises at the High school building. The list includes Misses Florence Doty, Adaline Rider, Mary Lockard Helen Schreffler, Eleanore Yarnell, Etta Mae Brumgard and Mildred Buck. James I. Miller, of Millheim, has taken charge of the Compressed ‘Grease Cup Manufacturing com- pany’s plant, at Danville, and put :t into operation after a brief shutdown. He expects to manufacture a num- ber of other articles in addition to the cup and will give employment to twenty men. ——Commencement exercises will be held at Rockview on May 6 at which time those inmates who elect- ed to take academic work during the past year will be given certificates of merit in the subjects they have stud- jed. Instruction at the institution is under the supervision of members of ‘the faculty of the Pennsylvania State ‘College. ——Centre county farmers who held their potatoes over winter in the hope of getting a big price for them this spring missed their guess, as the tubers are almost a drug in the mar- ket. During the past three weeks they have been seliiug in some Belle- fonte stores at fifty cents the bushel, and over in Pennsvalley, it is répor:- ed, they can be. bought as low as twenty-three cents. ——Judge Fleming, on Wednesday, handed down an opinion and decree in the case of Andrew Thal and Bertha Thal, his wife, vs. Dr. J. V. Foster, in which he refused a new ‘trial and ordered judgment entered in favor of the plaintiffs in accordance ‘with the verdict of the jury. The case dates back to the December sessions, 1924, when action was brought by the plaintiffs to recover damages as the result of an automobile collision. At the trial Mr. Thal was awarded $450 damage and his wife $50. ——If the early fruit trees which have been in blossom for some days are not badly damaged it will be be- cause they have greater resisting power to the elements than is gen- erally supposed. An almost contin- uous downpour of rain, sleet and snow on Monday and Tuesday, with aunseasonably cold weather and the ground slightly frozen yesterday morning has been the record for this ‘week. Of course it is not unusual, as it was ten days later than this that ‘we had the deep fall of snow last year. And now that we have had this spell there may be a change for the better. The committee in charge of raising finances for the Bellefonte haseball organization is meeting with sufficient encouragement to justify assurance that the fans of the town are going to get behind the team and give it loyal support. The sea- son ticket plan is proving a good one, and already a number of tickets have been sold with quite a number of promised buyers listed. The board of directors is composed of men who ‘know baseball from start to finish and if they are given the proper sup- port they will put a team on the dia- mond that will make its mark in the «. and C. league. | BOROUGH TO PAY HALF ON $11,000 FIRE APPARATUS. Property Owners Want East Burn- side Street Opened to Public. Just five members, a necesary quorum, were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Mon- day evening, the absentees being Badger, Brouse, Cobb and Reynolds. Harvey Ricker, representing prop- erty owners along the line of east Burnside street, was present and ask- ed council to open that street through to Blanchard street. He stated that he and two other property owners want to build homes on lots they own there; in fact have already started work on the foundations. All told there are some five or six property owners who want to build there, but at present they have no way of get- ting into or out from their lots with- ou: going over property owned by others. Mr. Ricker stated that two of the property owners are will- ing to donate the land for opening the street. He also asked that a water line be laid out to the proposed build- ing operations. President Walker in- formed Mr. Ricker that he could as- sist very materially in an early open- ing of the street by securing from the property owners a declaration in writing of their willingness to do- nate free the necessary land, and the Street and Water committees were instructed to take charge of the mat- ter. Harry Zimmerman, of Reynolds avenue, appeared before council and requested an extension of the sani- tary sewer from the Daniel Houser property to his residence, a distance of approximately 75 feet. Referred to the Street committee. A written communication was re- ceived from Mrs. Emma Snyder Cooke making complaint about the West Penn Power company littering her lots on east Linn street with wire and other material and asking coun- cil to take some action to compel them to remove it. It was the sen- timent of council that if the alleged deposits of wire are entirely on Mrs. Cooke’s land, they are naturally -n private property and are not within the jurisdiction of the borough. How- ever, the matter was referred to the Street committee for investigation. The Water committee reported the collection of $12.00 on the 1925 du- plicate, $12.00 on the 1926, $20.50 on the 1927 and $1005.50 on the 1928, as well as $20 from the Beatty Motor company for rent at the Phoenix mill. Mr. Cunningham further reported that the Water committee had clean- ed out the race and pen stock (water wheel pit) at the Gamble mill and found both turbine wheels in such a condition that they are deemed un- fit for use. A wheel expert will be in Bellefonte in about two or three weeks when the committee hopes to obtain data on the cost of installa- tion of new wheels. Mr. Cunning- ham stated that the mill in general had been examined from top to bot- tom and it is all in excellent condi- tion with the machinery intact. The Finance committee reported a balance in the hands of the borough treasurer of $1283.40. Renewal was authorized for two notes totaling $2,- 500, and the treasurer was empower- ed to borrow $3000 from the Fire- inen’s Relief Association for one year at five per cent. Mr. Emerick reported that the Fi- nance committee recommended the same millage rate for 1929 as that of last year, which is 10 mills for borough purposes, 10 for street and 5 for interest. Council approved the recommendation. The Fire and Police committee re- ported receipt of a check for $25.00 from W. H. Noll & Bros. for ser- vices rendered by the Bellefonte fire- men at the recent fire at Pleasant Gap. All miscellaneous business having been disposed of the question of the purchase of new fire apparatus was taken up. G. L. Carpeneto, chairman of the Undine Fire company, submit- ted the bids of the various manufac- turers, as follows: The Peter Perch company, a flat $10,000 after making allowance for the Undine squad truck of $1250. The Mack bid was $12,- 700, with an allowance of $1700 for the squad wagon and a further reduc- tion of $250 if cash payment is made, which would make the price $10,750. The bid of the Buffalo Fire Appara- tus company was $10,500 with an al- lowance of $850 for the truck, or a net price of $9,650. The American LaFrance bid was $13,850, with an al- lowance of $1850 for the truck or a net of $12,000. This company also offered to include $365 worth of ex- tras if cash is paid. The Perch com- pany offered to put in a 130 horse power motor if cash is paid and the Mack company bid included the ex- tras for $11,000 cash. Mr. Carpeneto suggested that the purchase be made on a cash basis, giving the local banks the interest that will have to be paid the company if the apparatus is purchased on time payments. He also stated that the committee is in favor of purchas- ing the Mack apparatus, as the com- pany is located at Allentown and it will be easy to get repairs at times when any are needed. He also rec- ommended that the Mack bid of $11 - 000 cash with $365 worth of extras be accepted. Mr. Emerick then made a motion that his motion of some weeks ago appropriating $4800 to the Undine Fire company be rescinded, and the same was passed by council after it! SRR RE DR RAR SRT Rl, was seconded by Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Emerick then made another mo- tion that the appropriation be $5500 which was duly seconded and passed. As it will be several months before the apparatus will be delivered coun- cil will have at least that much tfme to arrange for financing its share of the purchase. Bills totaling $4200 were approved for payment, after which council ad- journed. UNDINE COMMITTEE SIGN CONTRACT FOR MACK APPARATUS. Representatives of the Mack and Peter Perch companies were in Belle- fonte and after council adjourned the committee of the Undine company and several councilmen remained to close up the purchase of the new ap- paratus. The Peter Perch salesman was first interviewed but he stood solid on his last bid with the one stip- ulation that he would allow one per cent. off for cash. The Mack salesman was then given a hearing and after considerable dis- cussion he made the following propo- sition: A cash price for the apparatus $10,750. Extra equipment desired figured up to $405, and he agreed to stand for $200 of that amount the Undines to pay $205, which made the total for the machine and equipment $10,955. After some discussion the contract was finally executed. The next thing will be to arrange for the payment, but as it will be at least three months before the new quadruple combination will be deliv- ered there will be ample time to make financial arrangements. So far as the Undines are concerned it will be a fairly easy matter. They now have about $3000 available for pay- ment on their portion of the cost and will likely have no difficulty in bor- rowing the balance. As to the bor- ough’s share, it will simply mean the floating of a few more notes, and if the borough treasurer can borrow the money at five per cent. it will be bet- ter than paying six per cent. to the Mack company. RAIN, SNOW AND COLD USHERS IN TROUT SEASON. “It is only the brave who wins the fair,” is very applicable to the fisher- men who had the hardihood to ven- ture out for the opening of the trout fishing season, Monday morning. With a temperature only a few de- grees above the frost line, a full day’s rain which at times was mixed with snow the weather was just the opposite to that of even fair fishing weather. In fact snow fell in the mountains to a depth of several inches. Of course with such condi- tions prevailing it was hard work en- ticing the trout to strike at any kind of bait. Several carloads of strangers who motored to Bellefonte for the open- ing, tried their luck on Logan’s branch and Spring creek, but finally quit in disgust. One party of three didn’t get a trout, while another party of three got two fair-sized ones. The first catch of any consequence brought to the attention of the writer was that of Charles Brachbill, who had eight nice ones, caught at the junction of Buffalo Run with Spring creek. We know he had them because he showed them to us. Others who had the perservance to stick to it in defiance of the cold wet weather were rewarded as fol- lows: John McGovern 4, Ed Nelson 8, George Keeler one 171% inches long, “Baldy” Gordon 23 and his son 24%, Russell Witmer 4, Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick 14, Robert Montgomery 4, Patsy Bathurst the limit on Logan’s branch, Jacob Barlet 1, Lew Smith 12, Dr. Stevens 0, Joe Thal 11, Harry Duke- man 11. A young man named Walker caught one 20 inches long out near the Abramsen plant on Wednesday evening and about the same time Paul Haag landed two 14 incBes in the lime kiln dam. And Vince Bauer took two that measured 17 and 12 inches, respectfully, from the same water. Reports from the Fishing creek section were to the effect that five trout constituted the largest catch taken by any fisherman on the stream. ——Why is it that every man elect- ed to the Legislature or State Sen- ate in Pennsylvania conceives the idea that the only way he can best serve his constituents is to introduce a bill of some kind, no matter how foolish or absurd the bill may be ? And every bill introduced means dollars out of the taxpayer's pockets. If you don’t believe it hearken unto this. Up to last Friday just seventeen car- loads of paper, 425 tons, were used in printing the various bills which were presented this year and the legisla- tive record, and five more carloads were on their way to complete the job before the Legislature adjourned. Twenty-one carloads of paper costs a pile of money and the printing of it will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. ———Starting Thursday afternoon, May 2, all stores in Bellefonte will be closed Thursday afternoons during months of May, June, July, August and September. 74-16-2t m—————— ee ——— ——William Beezer, of Philipsburg, but formerly of Bellefonte, is a pa- tient in the McGirk sanitorium, at Philipsburg, where he recently under- went an operation for the removal of gall stones. WETZLER’'S BAND TO GIVE PUBLIC CONCERT. Several weeks ago the Watchman editor gave his impressions of the | musical proficiency of Wetzler’s Jun- ior band, as displayed at a private ! concert given for the benefit of the parents of the 110 boys and girls who compose the organization. And now it is announced that the band will give a public concert in the court house on Friday evening, April 26th, at which time the small admissiqn fee of fifty cents will be charged. The concert will consist of over- tures, Indian and dance character- istics, marches, waltzes, songs, solos and duets. The American Legion drum and bugle corps will also be featured with the band in several numbers. The band organization must raise $1500 for the purchase of new uni- forms and this is the first public move made to this end. Members of the band are canvasing the town for the sale of tickets and we bespeak for them a cordial reception. Buy as many tickets as you can, and wheth- er you can attend or not, buy a tick- et, anyway. The band is an organi- zation which reflects great credit on both Mileshurg and Bellefonte. Neith- er the boys, themselves, nor their pa- tient, indomitable leader profits one cent for the time they devote to prac: tice or in filling public engagements. Every cent of the money received goes for expenses and the upkeep of the band. ‘And the organization must have new uniforms and is also badly in need of a suitable hall in which to practice. The Junior band is the largest boys band in the United States. Its mem- bers range in age from 6 to 16 years They have been organized only eigh- teen months and we know you will be both surprised and pleased at their proficiency. Any one willing to con- tribute anything to the uniform fund should send checks to W. A. Ridge. secretary and treasurer, or F. L. Wetz- ler, leader. ANDREW R. McNITT On Monday morning, or just seven weeks to the day from the time An- drew R. McNitt left Bellefonte avow- edly to go to Miami Beach, Florida, to attend the Sharkey-Stribling prize fight, information was received here that he is now in Florida, though not at Miami Beach. The information came in the shape of a telegram to the McNitt Lumber company, which was delivered to W. clined to divulge the contents of the missive aside from declaring that “Andy is in Florida.” The fact, how- ever, leaked out that the message was sent from Jacksonville, but whether it body else is not known. As stated above Mr. McNitt lett Bellefonte on February 25th, and at that time was expected to return within a month. When he failed to do so members of his family in Mifflin county and business associates here became somewhat worried, as no word had been received from him prolonged absence and apparently mysterious disappearance were broad- cast on the radio and through the newspapers of the country. Detec- tives and the State police were engag- ed to assist in the search but three more weeks passed before word came on Monday of his location in Florida. been given of his prolonged absence and failure to notify his friends of his whereabouts, but the fact that he has been located relieves the mental sus- pense of members of his family. MUSIC, ROMANCE, COMEDY ALL IN “CLOSE HARMONY.” Nancy Carroll, one of the most charming girls on the screen, sings, talks and dances for you, and Buddy Rogers, handsome star of “Wings,” talks and plays five different musical instruments in “Close Harmony,” their new co-starring picture which is a musical romance of life and love theatre.
