Items from the Watchman issue of July 25th, 1879. —The members of Lutheran and Presbyterian families in and about Snydertown, Hublersburg and Zion are considering a plan of coalition and if it goes through all will wor- ship together as one denomination. —The Sugar Valley camp meeting will open August 14 and the Clinton~ dale meeting will follow a week lat- - Rr, —The wheat crop is medium; po- ‘tatoes will be plenty and apples scarce. ; —Burchfield’s Bellefonte band will hold a festival in the room next door to this office on next Friday and Sat- urday evenings. —On Sunday last the handsome edifice at Valentine works was dedi- cated to the worship of Almighty God, temperance and the common good of the honest and hard working iron workers for whose benefit it was erected. Revs. Laurie, King, Big- gert and Hewitt were the clergymen who officated. Gen. Beaver and E. M. Blanchard Esq., made addresses and the choir was composed of Misses Clara and Mary Lyon, E. M. Blanchard and Frank Keller. —John Anderson's saloon was broken into on Sunday morning last and two kegs of beer, a number of boxes of sardines and cigars were abstracted therefrom. —DMichael Hettinger, of Gregg township, died yesterday morning as a result of a runaway accident he was in on the 10th inst. Driving two horses in a buggy he had reached the vicinity of the - George's Valley church when one of the animals kicked. This frightened the other and a runaway started, Not being able to control the team Mr. Het- tinger was thrown out, suffering a fractured skull. —Rebecca furnace in Blair county, made the cannon that served as the ‘battery for old Fort Pitt. —Mr. L. B. Curtin, of Roland, is about to start a dairy for the sale of pure milk and cream. He will have a route through Bellefonte. —The fire at the Howard iron works was more serious than we supposed when we penned a. report of it last week. The whole concern seems to have been destroyed, the fire being started when a 1600 lb ladle of molten metal was accidental- ly overturned. Two men named Butler and McCartney were serious- ly burned. —The Watchman of fifty years ago contained a three column story of a trip to Snow Shoe that was made by a party of Belefonte people who evidently went out as guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Nolan, who were then launching the “Chinclemooch’” house in that place as a summer resort. The story includes a graphic descrip- tion of the ride over the “switch- back” on the Snow Shoe railroad. In those days that trip was one of the popular means of entertaining visit- ors to Bellefonte. It was supposed to be very thrilling and it was re- garded as much of an outing then as a motor trip to Florida or Canada is now. On reading the story we were amazed to learn that the Tyrone colt of today, “Clayton” Poorman, was the “our young and attractive friend—one of the best, most polite and agreeable hotel clerks in the country.” We were amazed . because T. C., doesn’t look, act or think to- day as though he was old enough to have been a hotel clerk fifty years ago. Evidently the ‘“Chinclemooch” was full of guests when this party arrived, for it is noted that a num- ber of Philadelphia, Huntingdon and Bellefonte people were staying there. Among the latter were the elder Judge Orvis and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Miller, Mr. and Mrs . Ed- mund Blanchard, Misses Jennie Mor- rison, Nannie and Sallie McGinley, Bessie Montgomery, Jennie Dare and Miss Hagerman. “Chinclemooch’ was the Indian name for clear field and Snow Shoe took her name, sup- posed, from a pair of snow shoes having been found at the big spring, nearly a mile beyond the town, where a party of surveyors were working in 1773. They were surveying a 1600 acre tract on an oak ridge under- neath which the valuable coal depos- its of the region were later found.— In the near future thirsty trav- elers stopping in Bellefonte will be able to get a drink of the town’s sparkling water without going to the big spring or invading public or pri- vate buildings. The county commis- sioners have agreed to join with the borough in placing the two proposed drinking fountains in front of the court house and the borough will erect two more at High street bridge. This ought to afford sufficient drink- ing accommodations to meet all de- mands. to sell or ‘put across’ to the public, whether it be hostile or friendly, plays just as important a part in Ki- wanis as in modern business.” Mr. Ross maintains that most ser- vice clubs lack salesmanship. Before a club can be “sold” to a community it must first of all “sell” itself to its members. The first requisite in sales- manship is to know just what you are selling, he continued. This embodies education and it is for Kiwanis edu- cation that he believes every Kiwan- ian should strive. He urges that the Kiwanis club. be not considered an eating club, nor a community chest, nor even a fellowship club primarily. Kiwanis in its true light develops ideals which for the most part are unselfish, “The ideal of tolerance, one of the greatest assets that any group of people can have, often takes root in an organization such as this,” con- tinued the Lieutenant-Governor. “Ki- wanis is a rendezvous for men with open minds; where men of religious, views. Meetings of this organization are nothing short of great experi- ments in co-operative democracy.” A further attribute of Kiwanis brought out by the visiting speaker is the ideal of self-discovery which it promotes among its members. The organization, he declares, will help are undertaking. It developes the ideal of courage in public and private life, the speaker stressed. Again there is found a great need for men who have the courage to stand up for their rights in the face of opposition. “Notwithstanding all of their good qualities. there are dangers to be met with by service clubs,” concluded Mr. Ross. “So often it happens that high ideals are not always lived up to and this usually leads to a gradual decay of the organization. Institutionaliz- ing or over organization is another enemy of the service club. And, fin« ally, there is the common danger of like-mindedness; majority and not ‘unanimity should prevail.” BANKERS TO MEET AT STATE COLLEGE. More than 100 members of the agricultural committee of the Penn- county key bankers from every coun- ty in the State, will meet at the Pennsylvania, State College August 22, 23 and 24 to discuss agricultural conditions and formulate plans for es- tablishing closer cooperation with farmers throughout the State. The committee on agriculture was organized by the Bankers’ Associa tion in 1922. : Two committee members with a county chairman of agriculture in each county known as ‘Key Bankers” are located in each of the eight divi- sional groups of the territory cover ed by the association. It is their duty to’ represent all the banks of the county in which they are locat- ed; consult with county agents; and receive suggestions from the Penn- sylvania State College as to definite plans of cooperation with farmers throughout the State. A large part of the State College meeting will be devoted to a study of the agricultur- al experiment station, especially the work in dairy husbandry, poultry husbandry, agricultural chemistry, farm machinery and results of work with farmers throughout the State by the college extension service. CHEMICAL LIME CO. INSTALLS BIG WASHER. In order to meet the requirements of the State Highway Department in stone: for road building purposes, which specify that all stone must not contain over a minimum per cent. of dirt, the Chemical Lime company has installed a big washer at its plant in Buffalo Run valley, and here- after all stone will be washed and de- livered practically free of all dust and dirt. The washer is located between the big crusher and Buffalo Run, the water from the stream being used in the operation of it. The crusher has tons a day, sufficient to handle all the stone that can be put through the crushers. It was tried out on Wednesday and did the work satis- factorily. ——Fried rattlesnake again was served to thirty nature study teachers, mostly women, who were initiated into the “Den of Rattlers” society at the nature study camp of the Pennsylvania State College in the Seven Mountains, near State Col- lege. Candidates for membership are required to eat at least one bite of fried rattlesnake before they are eligible to the organization. W. El- mer Ekblaw, geologist and botanist with the MacMilan-Crockerland Ar- tic expedition from 1913 to 1917, visiting lecturer at the camp last | week, was among those initiated. political, and social differences meet ; and learn to understand each other's men find themselves in the work they . The B. G: Coon Construction com- pany, of Luzerne county was the low bidder, last Friday, for the re- building of the State highway be- tween Bellefonte and Milesburg, their bid being $130,435 for 1.69 miles of concrete paving. The Lord Construction company, which started work two weeks ago on the road from Milesburg to a point below Curtin, are working at the Curtin end of the road, cutting down the hill near the old rolling mill to get the material to use for filling at other places. Several weeks ago the Highway Department allotted a two million dollar fund for State-aid purposes, Centre county’s share of which was given as $19,000. Centre county. be- ing a seventh class county will have to match the above sum with $6333, in order to have the benefit of the total allocation and the county com- missioners have taken steps to secure a portion of it, at least, for the re- building of the cold “Boalsburg pike,” the road over Rishel's hill and through the penitentiary lands to connect with the main State high- way above Peru. Just how much money it will take to put this road in good condition has not yet been figured out. The mosc difficult prob- lem will be the Rishel hill, but the rebuilding of this road would un- doubtedly shift considerable of the traffic from the main State highway the rebuilding of the road will de- pend entirely on the report of high- way engineers after they have made a survey. me remem een BIG TIME AT SNOW SHOE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Sunday afternoon will be a big time at the Snow Shoe park. From 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock there will be a band concert, and at 3:30 a baseball and All Stars, of Altoona. There is no more delightful spot in Centre county than the park at Snow Shoe; and the drive to that place over the concrete highway, which winds through some of the most beautiful scenery of the Allegheny mountains, is unequalled anywhere. And once at the park Snow Shoe people will show you a good time. Therefore, go to Snow Shoe Sunday ‘afternoon. es am—— eset The young people of the Senior Evangelical League held a camp-fire service last Monday evening. Leav- ing the church at seven o'clock they hiked up Spring creek, to the Barlett cottage. There, around the camp- : fire, Miss Eleanor Benner led them in game between the Snow Shoe nine old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Taylor, of Fillmore, drowned in Buffalo run, on Thursday afternoon of last week. The Taylors live near the stream and in the afternoon several of the children were playing along its banks. All the others returned home but Phyllis. When she was missed a search was made and the body was finally located in a three foot deep pool. All efforts at resuscitation proved fruitless. In addition to the parents the following brothers and sisters survive: Mrs. Dorothy Cun- nin, of New Jersey; Josephine, Ralph, Malcolm, Guyer, William and Donald, at home. Funeral services were held at the Buffalo Run Presbyterian church, on Sunday afternoon, by Rev. Fuller, burial being made in the Meyer's cem- etery. SOMETHING VERY NEW UNDER THE HALF MOON.

In addition to the parents she is survived by two sisters, Frances M. and Lillian. Fun- eral services were held at the Fye home, on Saturday afternoon, burial A SE ellis smn SHOWING POOR YIELD. Early advices from farmers and threshermen indicate that the wheat crop this year is mostly straw. As the crop stood in the field it appeared well headed and gave indications of a fair yield. But farmers who have already had some threshing done for seeding have found only a small yield of good grain. This is ascribed to the fact that the wheat was frozen in the spring, and while it headed up seventy-five per cent. hulls. BOALSBURG Miss Anna Dale is visiting in Al- toona. .

Gretna. The troop will go with a full complement of of- ficers and men. The troop horses; twenty-seven in number, had been taken to camp about three weeks ago for use of other units of the guard but the boys took with them seven- teen horses which they were able to hire for camp use. This will still be six short of the number needed to mount the troop. The pastor of the Free Metho- dist church, at Tyrone. made a motor run to Bellefonte on Tuesday after- noon.

Judging from the record of the first six months of 1929, the year is likely to set a new high record for automobile fatalities in Pennsylvania. Preliminary tabulations made by the bureau of vital statistics, in the Health Department, show that in the first six months of the year approxi- mately 900 people were killed in the State in automobile and grade cross- ing accidents. This is nearly half as many as were killed in the entire year 1928. The history of motor ve- hicle accidents shows that the num- ber of deaths in the second half of the year is always greater than in the first half because "of the increased use of automobiles. If this experience is repeated in 1929 the high record of 1928 will stand for only one year. CE DOG LAW TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.
