Seven veterans of the Civil war
and more than a dozen men who
have passed the three score and ten

on Tuesday noon, the occasion being
made of special interest to the
guests, who were as follows:

Some preliminary business was dis-
cussed after which Kiwanian Bush
stated that in response to a com-
munication from Postmaster General
Walter Brown to philatelists regard-
ing suggestions for a change in de-
sign of postage stamps he had sug-
gested scenic pictures of some of the
many wonders in the United States
instead of the customary head. The
suggestion was embodied in a reso-
lution which will be forwarded to
the Postoffice Department.

his 75th anniversary that day, spoke
briefly on the necessity of everybody |
living up to the laws of the country.

of the day, and gave a brief outline
of historical facts and laws which led

to the men who went forth in 1861
to fight for the preservation of the
Union, a country that has grown to
be the greatest in the world.

NITTANY CLUB GOLFERS
NOSE OUT LOCK HAVEN.
Nittany Country club golfers nos-
ed out the Clinton Country club
players in a close contest on the lo-
cal course at Hecla Park, last Satur-
day, the score at the finish being 281;
to 261%. Each club used eighteen
players and so close were the matches
that the result was in doubt until
the last man had finished.
Clinton showed unexpected strength
in the center of its lineup,
Zellers, and Gross turning in good
scores and victories for the visitors,
while Tom Wynn sprang a real sur-
prise by defeating the veteran Lane
of Nittany. Wynn Fredericks, Clin-
ton’s No. 1 player, set a record for
the new course in beating Hugh
Quigley 2 up, while Miller of Nittany
was overthrowing the star No. 2
man of Lock Haven, Frank O’Reil-
ly.
When Camerer and McClure, of
Clinton, came in with three points
each over Bill Curtin and Robert
Walker, the outlook was gloomy for
the home team, Clinton being six
ahead at that point. It remained
for the last three Nittany players to
save the day, which they did in no
uncertain manner, Blaine Mabus win-
ning 10 up, Frank Hockman 5 up,
and Bruce Bechtol 6 up, accounting
for nine points and the victory be-
tween them.
The low medal scores were the
record 72 for Fredericks, Quigley 75,
Father Downes 76, Ellis Keller 77,
and J. R. Miller 78.
The results of the individual
matches follow:
Nittany Clinton

The local club’s next match will be
played at Nittany this Saturday, the
Clearfield Country club being the op-
ponent. Clearfield will bring about
twelve players, so some of the stars
of last Saturday's match may not see
action.

THE GUMMING OF STAMPS.
| Officials of the Bureau of Engrav-
‘ing and Printing at Washington aver
later rescued and that one of the most delicate opera- |
tions connected with the manufac-
ture of our postage stamps is the
' gumming thereof.
| When the sheets have been print-
| ed they are passed under a roller, |
(from which they receive a thin coat-
{ing of gum, and then gradually over
| the surface.
| The gum in thelittle vats, from
! which it drops to the roller, is main-
tained at an even temperature and

{| But even with the perfection of
| mechanical exactness, some allow-
| ance must be made always for the
season of every year. For summer

because of the trouble occasioned by
the sticking of stamps. In winter pre-

is necessary. A third grade of the
