plete report of the Bellefonte coun-
cil’'s proceedings and other interest-
ing local news will be found on the

‘the establishment of a third troop of
State highway patrolmen and Belle-
fonte is being considered as the most
dogical place for locating the troop
headquarters.
——The weather man seems to
have it in for Bellefonte for some
reason or other. Rainstorms sweep
around us on all sides every day or
80, but nary a drop falls here. Gar-
dens, lawns, etc., are badly in need
of a good soaker.
——Centre county's allotment of
the $2,750,000 appropriation made by
the last Legislature for Mothers’ as-
sistance is $8,441, and with the coun-
ty contributing a like amount it will
mean that the local board will have
at it’s disposal $16,882.
——Since 1920 the standard of ed-
'ucational equipment of the public
school teachers of Centre county. has
risen 34.7%. At present there are

holding certificates to teach in Centre
county.
——Among the ten highest indi-
vidual scores in the 4-H Junior Cow

terfat production of heifers raised
and cared for by members of the
clubs in Pennsylvania.
——Centre county’s allofment of
the two million dollar appropriation
for State-aid highway construction
is $19,776.13. Centre being a seventh
class county the State will pay seven-
ty-five per cent. of all construction
out of. this fund, the county or town-
ships to pay the other twenty-five
per cent.
——Seven men were sworn in as
citizens of the United States at the
regular session of naturalization
court, on Monday. All told sixteen
applications had been filed. Two of
‘the applicants failed to appear, five
‘were held over for a technical reason
‘while the papers of two of the appli-
cants did not meet the legal require-
ments.
—Secretary of Forests and Wa-
‘ters Charles E. Dorworth entertain-

‘the latter part of the week. Among
‘the number were A. Boyd Hamilton,
now private secretary to Governor
Fisher; Robert Brennan, of Philadel-
‘phia; Walter G. Christy, of Pitts-
burgh, and others of equal note.
‘While . borough council was in
session, on Monday evening, an alarm
of fire called out the fire department,
and a report that the fire was at the
freight depot caused secretary W. T.
Kelly to excuse himself and make a
hasty trip to his place of business.
Fortunately the fire was not at the
freight depot but in Torsell’s pool-
room nearby, and it didn’t amount
to much, at that.
There are twenty-five bridges
in Centre county that will be taken
over by the State Highway Depart-
ment before June 1, 1930. Among
them are two stone arch structures,
one timber bridge and twenty-two
steel bridges. It is expected that all
‘these bridges that are now too nar-
row for safe two way traffic will be
‘widened or built entirely new within
the next five years.
——On Saturday night Ora Coun-
sil, of Blanchard, was coming down
Shank’s mountain, near that place,
in his automobile, when the car skid-
ded and over-turned and pinned
him underneath. Members of the
John Weber family happened along
Soon after the ‘accident, released
Counsil from the over-turned car and
took him to a physician, who found
him suffering with severe injuries to
his ankle and hip.
—Sunday “was “Fathers day,”
but so far as could be learned there
was no demonstration of any kina
in Bellefonte over the old dads who
daily plod to furnish automobiles,
radios and many luxuries along with
the necessities for the other members
of the family. About the only day
dad gets what's coming to him is
when he leads the procession up How-
ard street, but he doesn’t know any- '
thing about it, then.
—1In another column of this pa-
per will be found a proclamation by
burgess Hard P. Harris forbidding
the use of fireworks in Bellefonte
prior to the evening of July 3rd. The
proclamation is right in line with a
modified safe and sane Fourth, but
we're waiting to see whether it will
be enforced, or not. Less
week ago, between ten and eleven
o'clock at night, somebody did some
celebrating right in the burgess’ own
ward.

COMMENCEMENT AT STATE
ATTRACTS GREAT CROWDS
Fine Weather and Record Class Fea-
ture Interesting Exercises. Forty-
' four Centre Countians
Graduate.
A record class of 630 was gradu-
ated in the new recreation hall of .
the Pennsylvania State College last
Tuesday. Advanced degrees, includ-
ing three technical and one doctor-
ate, were awarded to 31 graduate
students. Dr. John A. H. Keith,
State Superintendent of public in-'
struction and a trustee of the college
delivered the commencement address.
Sunday, Alumni reunion classes
held their picnics and outings in or
near the mountains close to State
College. There were two out of the
three surviving members of the class
of 1879 back for their fiftieth reunion.
They were Dr. T. C. Houtz, of Sus- ¥
quehanna University, and F. B.
Greenwalt, of Erie. The third living
member, the Rev. W. K. Foster is in
Florida and was unable to attend.
Each class held its last meeting in
Old Main, the first college building
on the campus erected over 70 years
ago, which is to be razed this sum-
mer and rebuilt out of the same
weathered limestone.
John Franklin Shields, prominent
attorney of Philadelphia and a mem- .
ber of the class of 1892 at Penn
State, was elected president of the
board of trustees of the college to suc-
ceed Judge H. Walton Mitchell. Judge
Mitchell's retirement comes this
‘month as a result of his desire not
to be a candidate for re-election to
the board due, to his advancing age
and duties in / the Allegheny county
courts. Mr. Shields has served on
the college board of trustees for 24
years. William H. Teas, of the class
of 1897, was elected to fill the vacan-
Cy on the board caused hy Judge
Mitchell's retirement. Four trustees
were elected to three-year terms by
100 delegates from county, agricul-
tural ard industrial societies. They
are Charles M. Schwab, of Loretto,
and Vance McCormick, of Harris-
burg, both of whom have been trus-
tees for upwards of 25 years; Wil-
liam L. Mellon, of Pittsburgh, and
Furman Gyger, of Kimberton.
Alumni Day was celebrated Mon-
day starting with a meeting of the
Alumni Association in the morning,
followed by a luncheon in the big
tent and class stunts in the after-
noon. These were interfered with by
the only rain of the week. Just as
the reuning classes were forming for
the parade to the athletic field a
thunder-storm broke and sent the
old grads to the auditorium where
they pulled such stunts as could be
done inside. The annual alumni din-
ner was held in the evening follow-
ed by the commencement dance.
Senior graduates held their class day
exercises Monday morning. Com-
mencement was held Tuesday morn-
ing.
~ Following the trustee meeting, no
announcement was made concerning
the future building program at the
college except that the contract
award for reconstruction of Old
Main could not be announced for sev-
eral days. iB
Organization of a separate depart-
ment of journalism at the’ Pennsyl-
vania State College is announced by
President Ralph D. Hetzel following
trustee action. Associaté Professor
William F. Gibbons, veteran news-
paperman, who has had charge of
journalism ' instruction for the past
ten years, is made acting head of the
devartment. - _
The action follows closely upon the
organization meeting there last month
of a committee of the Pennsylvania
Newspaper Publishers’ Association,
is acting as an advisory board for
the department. A sub-committee of
that group is cooperating in the for-
mation of a curriculum leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
journalism courses each year, and
approximately 30 of this year’s grad-
uating class have majored in the
subject.
Journalism instruction was formerly
offered in the department of English
composition and journalism with Pro-
fessor A. H. Espenshade as head. It
now becomes the department of
English composition, and Associate
Professor T. G. Gates becomes act-
ing head of the division for the com-
ing year while Professor Espenshade
is on sabbatical leave at the Uni-
versity of Hawaii.
Upon his own request, Dr. W. D.
Crockett, head of the department of
classical languages, retired from ad-
ministrative duties and Dr. R. E.
Dengler, professor of Greek, is made
head. Dr. Crockett will continue his
teaching and research studies.
Until a permanent head is select-
ed for the department of Romance
languages to succeed the late Dr.
I L. Foster, the acting head will be
Professor L. M. Burrage, for many
years a member of the French staff.

‘BOUNTY REMOVED
FROM RED FOX.
Under a bill signed by the Gover-
nor on May 14 the $2.00 bounty here-
tofore awarded for each Red Fox
Submitted to the Game Commission
has been removed, and no further
claims for this species wil be honor-
ed as of that date.
It was felt that these creatures,
because of the value placed upon
their fur, will be admirably control-
led without any sort of bounty reg-
ulation.
Then, too, the destructive habits
of the animal are in themselves suf-
ficient inducement for keeping the
creatures in check.
By passing this information along
hunters and trappers will not only
be greatly aiding the Game Commis-
sion but their colleagues as well.
——Mahlon K. Robb, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson E. Robb, of this
place, was awarded a degree of Bach-
elor of Science in Economics when
commencement exercises marking the
close of the 189th academic year of
the University of Pennsylvania were
held on the University campus Wed-
nesday morning. Robb, who was
graduated from the Wharton School
of Finance and Commerce was among
approximately 1800 students to re-
ceive degrees at the exercises which
were held in the huge Palestra of
the University. Robb is a member of
Sigma Phi Sigma fraternity ana
while an undergraduate was a mem-
ber of the editorial board of the
Punch Bowl, the student humorous
periodical of the University.
More than 700 boys and girls
are attending Young Farmers week
at the Pennsylvania State College
this week. They include vocational
students and 4-H club members from
nearly every county in the State.
Judging contests, talks, recreational
periods, tours, and vesper services
compose the program of the tenth
annual meeting arranged by the
state club office. Winning vocation-
al and 4-H judging teams will repre-
sent Pennsylvania in national live-
stock, dairy, and poultry contests.
The annual encampment of the
Young People’s branch of the W. C.
T. U. will be held at the Pennsylvania
State College from June 24 to 29.
More ' than 100 delegates from 30
counties of the State will be present. i
The encampments are sponsored each
year by the W. C. T. U. for the pur-
pose of training young people in
citizenship and law observance.
——1It is estimated that the num-
ber of automobiles on the farms in
Centre county has not increased, thus
far in 1929, over that of 1928.
FALL FROM STEAM SHOVEL
BREAKS NECK OF WORKMAN.
John Lee Victim of Accident at Plant
of Centre County Lime (o.,
On Tuesday.
John Lee, who went: to work for
the Centre County Lime company, on
Monday morning, fell from thé roof
of a steam shovel, about three o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon and broke his
neck, dying instantly. The shovel,
which is operated by William Lewis,
was being moved from one part of the
operation to another and in so doing
it had to pass under electric wires.
hold uy -
Lee climbed onto the roof to
the wires but almost immediately
tumbled to the ground, falling on
his head in such a way as to break
his neck. Those who witnessed the
accident aver that he never moved
after striking the ground.
At first it was thought he had
come in contact with a live wire and
been electrocuted and an urgent call
was given the West Penn Power
company for the assistance of its
first aid crew and pulmotor, but the
crew and pulmotor were at State Col-
lege. Assistant superintendent Cur-
rier, of West Penn, went up to the
plant at once, and was there when
a physician made an examination of
the body and there were no indica-
tions of Lee having come in contact
with an electric wire. The only so-
lution of his fall is that he either slip.
ped and lost his hold or became faint
from the intense heat.
A sad feature of the accident is
that he had just been married, last
Saturday evening, in Blair county, to
Miss Mabel Kline, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Kline, of Buffalo Run
valley.
Lee, whose parents are dead, was
born near Boiling Springs, Blair
county, on May 21st, 1892, hence was
37 years and 28 days old. He came
to Centre county twelve weeks ago
and boarded at the home of Mr, and
Mrs. William M. Roan, in Buffalo
Run valley, working at L. A. Hill's
garage, in Bellefonte, until last Sat-
urday. He married a Blair county
girl when a young man, who died a
few years ago, leaving three children,
Freda and Anna Margaret, who are
with relatives in Blair county, and
Rhoda, who was with her father at
the Roan home. He also leaves his
bride-wife who is heart-broken over
the tragic death of her husband of
three days.
The body was taken to the home
of Mrs. Lee's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Kline, where funeral services
will be held at 10 o'clock this (Fri-
day, morning, by Rev. A. Ward
Campbell, of the Bellefonte Evangel-
ical church, burial to be made in the
Meyers cemetery.
TRUCKENMILLER HOME
BURNED AT HUBLERSBURG.
The home of Harvey I. Trucken-
miller, at Hublersburg, was complete-
ly destroyed by fire, at noon, last Sat-
urday. The house was a frame
structure, having been built near the
Hublersburg depot of the old Central
Railroad of Pennsylvania by William
Decker and later purchased by
Truckenmiller. :
The family was at dinner when
the fire was discovered by neighbors.
It had already gained considerable
headway but without any means of
fighting the flames it was evident
from the first that the house was
doomed. Efforts of the family and
neighbors were concentrated on sav-
ing as much stuff from the house as
possible, but at that not more than
one-third the furnishings were car-
ried out. Mr. Truckenmiller’s loss
will probably exceed five thousand
dollars, on which there was some in-
surance.

RAY AND BOND WHITE
BUY VALENTINE PROPERTY
A deal was closed during the week
whereby Ray and Bond White be-
came the purchasers of the Jacob
Valentine property, corner of High
and Spring streets, Bellefonte. The
consideration is reported as $20,000,
and possession will be given Septem-
ber 1st.
Various stories are afloat as to
what the purchasers expect to do
with the property but the most
plausible one is a garage and gaso-
line filling station. The Valentine
house is one among the oldest in
Bellefonte and if it is torn down to |
give place to a new building it will
mean the removal of another land-
mark for in the eastern half of the
building the first sessions of court
ever held in Centre county were call-
ed.
