NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.

delphia on Saturday night.
, ——The .annual meeting of the
Central Pennsylvania Funeral Direc-
tor’s association will be held at the

——The imposing new marker re-
cently placed on the grave of the

cemetery here, was the tribute of his
sister who is living in California.
From eighty to a hundred
members of the Lancaster livestock
exchange made a motor trip to State
College, on Wednesday, to attend a
livestock meeting and demonstration.
Halfmoon Gardens completed
the filling of the street light flower
boxes, on Wednesday, and thus an-
other step has been taken toward
making Bellefonte beautiful for the
summer season.
——A recent National Guard or-
der announced the promotion of Le-
land M. Walker from first lieutenant
to captain of the Boal machine gun
troop, and the transfer of C. W. Rob-
erts from Troop B, of Bellefonte, to

——If you want to read a bit of
romantic history that you probably
never thought could have found its
genesis in Centre county, read the leg-
end of the Veiled Lady Cavern on
page 2 of this issue. It reads like fic-
tion yet it is founded on facts that
anyone interested in Centre county
should know.
Richard S. Brouse underwent
an operation in Blair memorial hos-
pital, on Monday morning, for the re-
moval of a double polypus that has
been causing him much discomfort
for a long time. He was on the
table for two end a half hours but
responded so quickly that he was in
condition to motor home on Wednes-
day.
——The time of year is not far
distant when the Bellefonte curb
market will open. Most all kinds of
garden stuff is late this season but
home grown strawberries are due
early in June,. and if the crop - in
Centre county shows a yield any-
thing near like the southern crop
they should be quite plentiful. Belle-
fonte has a reputation of having one
of the best curb markets of any town
in the central part of the State, and
this year will probably be up to the
standard of former summer seasons.
~——One of the biggest carpets put
down in’ Bellefonte in some years
was laid in the hallway on the sec-
ond floor of the Penn-Belle hotel in
the beginning of the week. The car-
pet was in two sections, one extend-
ing from the head of the stairway to
the western end of the hall, which
was five wards in width and twenty-
five yards long. The other section
was made to fit around the stairway
and was fifteen yards in length. The
carpet weighed over six hundred
pounds, was furnished by Hazel and
Co., and was sewed together in their
workroom before ‘being taken to the
Penn-Belle.
——DMusic lovers of Pittsburgh
gave an enthusiastic welcome to
Miss Viola Mitchell, seventeen year
old wviolinist, who gave a recital in
Carnegie Music hall, on Tuesday ev-
ening of last week, following her re-
turn home from Europe where she
appeared before some of the best
musical critics in a number of lead-
ing cities. Miss Mitchell is a niece
of Miss Cora Mitchell, who during
1923-24 was dental hygienist in the
Bellefonte public schools. The fam-
ily was originally from Clearfield
county and neighbors of the late Dr.
H. W. Tate, for a number of years
a well known dentist of Bellefonte.
Alfred Grove, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. A. Grove, of Bellefonte, who
is just completing his junior year at
State College in the course of land-
Scape gardening, will be one of ten
or a dozen students who will make
a trip through Europe during his
summer vacation in the interest of
his future work. The students, ac-
companied by two professors, will
sail from New York on June 18th
and the trip will cover England,
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Switzerland and Italy. They will be
away about two months. Last sum-
mer Alfred made a trip through New
York, the New England States and
Canada.
——Last Saturday morning Mal-
Colm Forringer, of Lock Haven,
caught a brown trout in Fishing
creek that measured 251% inches in
length. He was using worm and a
light fly rod when he hooked the
monster in a pool at the month of
Kettle run. Fortunately the stream
was very shallow on the side from
which he was fishing and in playing
it the big fellow helped beach him-
self in the low water. The happy
sportsman arrived on the stream only
a little while before he made the
catch and, just naturally, he struck
for home very soon afterwards.
Brown trout are rare in Fishing
creek and the taking of that one has
probably saved hundreds of the brook
trout in the stream, for the brown
species feed voraciously on the
brooks.

presented testimony showing that he
was bringing his cows out of a lane

struck by defendant's car. The de-

MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR
BELLEFONTE’S HEROIC DEAD.
Cnce again the graves of Belle-
fonte’s heroic dead have been bedeci-
ed with flowers and taps sounded
for those who responded to their
country’s call in time of need and
now occupy their last resting place
in the town’s cemeteries.
But how different from similar ob-
servances two score years ago. in
those days Gregg Post No. 95, G. A.
R., was a most virile and active or-
ganization and any where from fifty
to a hundred members marched with
stately tread to the Union cemetery
to pay honor to their comrades
who had passed to the Great Beyond.
Yesterday the old veterans could be
hauled in the parade in one automo-
bile.
As a preliminary to yesterday's
program members of the Brooks-Doll
post of the American Legion and
soldiers of other wars attended di-
vine services in the Presbyterian
church, on Sunday morning, when
Rev. W. C. Thompson preached a
sermon admirably suited to the sol-
emn occasion.
The services yesterday were in
charge of the American Legion and
most fittingly did - they “carry on”
the work of love and honor inspired
over half a century ago.
In the morning the post marched
to the Catholic cemetery where
graves of all old soldiers were deco-
rated and a short but splendid ad-
dress made by Father Downes.
In the afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock,
the big parade of the day, which in-
chided Wetzler’s Junior hand, Civil
war veterans in automobiles, Troop
B, the Brooks-Doll post led by their
bugle and drum corps, P. O. S. of A.
members of the fire companies and
school chidren, formed on High
street, right resting on Spring. The
line of march was west on High to
the railroad; counter-march to
Spring, Spring to Bishop, Bishop to
Allegheny, Allegheny to Howard and
east on Howard to the cemetery. At
the cemetery "the Legion was in
charge of the services, Prof. Arthur
H. Sloop making the address.
After the services the Legion with
their drum and bugle corps marched
to Hughes field for the opening base-
ball game between Houtzdale and
Bellefonte.

TIRED DRIVING TRACTOR
Just about the time that Judge
Fleming was pronouncing sentence
Rockview penitentiary, last Thursday,
another one made a safe get-away.
He was Alton E. Murphy, 52 years
old, of Philadelphia county, serving
a sentence of two to four years for
| the larceny of an automobile.
Murphy was operating a tractor nn
| the Keller farm, above Rockview, on
Thursday, and evidently became
weary of his job and decided to quit. |:
| He got away without his absence be-
ing’ noted until ‘quitting time. A num-
ber of Béllefonte men were fishing on
Spring creek not far from the field
in ‘which Murphy was working, but
they did not see him depart.

BELLEFONTE FIRST AID
BRINGS HOME PRIZE CUP.
The first aid team of the Bellefonte
district West Penn Power company,
stands at the head of all the teams
in the Keystone division for skill and
efficiency. This was demonstrated in
a competitive contest held at Ridg-
way on May 18th, in which the teams
from Ridgway, Kane and Bellefonte
took part.
The Bellefonte team is composed
of Roy Bryan; captain; John Hoy,
Allan Cruse, P. I. Holt and LeRoy
Scull. While there are five teams in
the Keystone division only three took
part in the contest and the Belle-
fonte team won easily, and natural-
ly the members were quite proud to
bring home the cup presented for
first aid work in the Keystone divi-
sion by J. George Kaelber, former
president of the company.
‘The success of the Bellefonte team
j entitles them to represent the Key-
‘ stone division in the six division con-
test of the West Penn Power com-
pany to be held later at Pittsburgh.
Out of the five divisions which have
already held their local contests the
Bellefonte team stands second in the
number of points scored, and with
la little extra coaching stands a good
chance of winning the district cup.
