KATO WOMAN DROWNS
IN BEECH CREEK
Missing a Week Before Body Was
Found at Edge of Stream
The body of Mrs. Mary Alexander,

was found. last Saturday afternoon,
lying on a sandbank at the edge of
Beech Creek, which solved the mys-
tery of the woman's disappearance
a week previous. She had evidently
fallen into the stream and drowned,
the water carrying her body about
a quarter of a mile down stream to
where it was found.
Mrs. Alexander disappeared on
Sunday afternoon, December 22nd.
According to reports she had cross-
ed Beech Creek on a footbridge to
‘make a call at a neighbor’s home
on Sunday afternoon and returned
home, Later in the evening she
again left her home, presumably to
make another neighborly call, but
failed to return. It was fairly well
known that she had fifty dollars on
her person and there was a suspi-

SIX MONTHS IN JAIL
FOR PINT OF LIQUOR.
In federal court at Harrisburg,
on December 18th, Judge Albert
W. Johnson sentenced Simon Rudy,
a crippled teamster of State Col-
lege, to six months imprisonment in
the Centre county jail for selling
a pint of liquor near the college
campus, H. L. Kreider, Rudy's at-
torney, pleaded for leniency on the
ground that no evidence had been
presented to show that Rudy had
sold to students.
In reply Judge Johnson said: “A
lot of foolish, halfJwitted college
students are very ready .to buy
and if there are any bootleggers in-
side of ten miles, they know about
it,” declared the judge. “The par-
ents of these 4000 students expect
the authorities to protect their
sons and daughters when they are
away from home. Rudy is getting
a very mild sentence.”
Colonel Wilbur Leitzel, State
College, former deputy prohibition
administrator for the middle dis-
trict, vied with a character witness
in describing Rudy to Judge John-
son, Colonel Leitzel declared that
Rudy has been selling to college
students for years. John Souders,
State College, the character wit-
ness, said the man was a hard-
working, law-abiding teamster.

VERY UNSATISFACTORY
The contractors at work on re-
building the State highway between
Bellefonte and Milesburg have
reached the point where they are
blasting off the end of the moun-
tain, near John McCoy's hydro-elec-
tric plant. The original plan was to
blow off the entire point of the
mountain at one shot, but such a
proceeding would doubtless have re-
sulted in throwing a portion of the
earth and rock over the road into
McCoy's dam, and to prevent this the
plans had to be changed,
The first shot was put off last Fri-
day and as a result the road was
closed to traffic and it was nec-
sary to detour by way of Curtin’s
Gap. This road is all right in sum-
mer time but in such weather as we
have had the past two weeks it is
not good for heavy traffic, and the
result was a number of heavily-
laden trucks stuck in the mud,
On Sunday some of the traffic was
permitted to pass over the State
highway and it is quite likely that
one-way traffic will be opened up as
soon as the blasting at the point of
. the mountain has been completed.

CHANGES TO BE MADE
A FIRST NATIONAL BANK
The gradual but steady increase in
business at the First National bank
of Bellefonte has reached that point
where more working room ‘is an
actual necessity, and as there is no
means of expansion on either side
the only alternative is up or ‘down.
After considering the matter from
every standpoint the board of direc-
tors have decided to go down,
That is; on April 1st the bank will
take charge of the two basement
rooms now occupied by Ray Eckman
as a barber shop and beauty parlor.
The entire space will be converted
into one room which will be remod-
eled and fixed up as a book-keeping
room for the bank. To make it com-
plete a door will be cut through the
wall between the barber shop and
the boiler room, whch will give ac-
cess to the lower vault where the
books can be kept. The basement
room has an abundance of light and
ventilation and will be easily heated.
The bank is also considering the
installation of an oil burner in the
furnace which will do away . with
the dust and grime of coal and
ashes.
As to Mr. Eckman he has already
arranged to take one of the rooms
the White brothers are fixing up in
the basement of the old Valentine
house, while Davidson’s candy shop
will be moved into the other room.
CROWDS ARE ADMIRING
THE NEW FORD BODIES
On Monday the Beatty Motor
Company opened their show room
on High street to the display of the
new Fords for 1930. Crowds have
been visiting the place ever since.
It seems to be the consensus of
opinion that the added body room,
the smartness of color and the many
little refinements noticeable make the
new car a very decided improvement
over last year’s model.
For . instance, there is the
new steering wheel. All passenger
cars will be equipped with a new
type, made of hard composition,
black in color and polished to a
bright lustre, It will be seventeen
inches in diameter, one-half an inch
smaller than the former wheel and
slightly heavier. There are finger
knobs on the underside of the rim,
providing a secure grasp.
The new hood is higher and long-
er than that now in use, and a dis-
tinctive feature is the moulding,
which starts at the radiator and
runs on a straight line back to the
cowl moulding,
The new fenders, designed along
ultra modern lines, contribute to the
beauty of the car. They are dis-
tinctive, wide, with high crowns and
follow the flowing lines of the car in
graceful curves. Na
The running board and valance,
now also in one piece, cling closely
to the body lines, the running board
tapering slightly in width from front
to rear in carrying out this effect.
ESCAPED PRISONER
GETS ANOTHER SENTENCE.
Edward Tomski, Clearfield county
young man, who escaped from Rock-
view penitentiary on October 9th, has
three sentences to serve before he
gets out of the western penitentiary,
or a total of from 17 to 34 years.
Tomski had served two years of his
original sentence of five to ten
years when he escaped. Then he
went to McKean county, committed
a number of robberies, was caught
and convicted and given a sentence
of 9 to 18 years, When he was
taken to the penitentiary it was
discovered that he was an es-
'caped prisoner and on December
21st he was brought back to Belle-
fonte and Judge Fleming gave him ,
five to ten more years.
On the same day James Duffey,
a Philadelphia prisoner who com-
mitted an assault on Gilbert Boyer,
a guard, on October 16th was
brought before Judge Fleming and

POSTOFFICE BUILDING
ABOUT COMPLETED,
Bellefonte’s new postoffice build-
ing, on north Spring street, is about
completed but at this writing there
is no certainty as to how soon it
will be occupied. Should postmaster
Knisely desire to do so he could
probably move in tomorrow or Sun-
day, but there is a feeling among
all the postoffice force that the
building is not yet properly season-
ed, or dried, and that it should not
be occupied for some days yet.
Be that as it may, the erection
of the building marks time for rap-
id construction work in Bellefonte.
The first pick was struck in the
ground on the 8th of October and
the contractors were unexpectedly
delayed through encountering a
rocky deposit that they had not con-
templated. But with that they have
completed the major part of the
job in less than three months.
As stated at the time of the
awarding of the contract the build-
ing is 60x50 feet in size, providing
for 3000 square feet of floor space.
The greater portion of this space
will naturally be devoted to the
working force in the postoffice.
The main entrance on Spring street
leads into a small vestibule from
which there are two entrance
ways to the lobby, one north and
one south, both up three steps.
The lobby is 30 feet long by 15
feet wide, but the vestibule entrance
takes up a space of 5x12 feet,
so that the exact floor space
of the lobby is approximately 384
square feet against 360 square feet
in the lobby of the present post-
office.
In the southeast corner of the
building is a lavatory room and a
room for the postoffice safe and
storage cabinets. The loading plat-
form is in the northeast corner of
the room and is partitioned off to
keep out the cold winter winds
when loading and unloading mail.
The furniture for the building
was purchased second hand from
the East Liberty postoffice. All the
lock boxes are at the north end of
the lobby. There are about four
hundred of them, including the
large ‘drawers, The parcel post
window is at least a yard square,
big enough to take in any mailable
package. There are also four oth-
er windows—Stamps, money order,
registry and general delivery. The
postmaster’s private office will be
in the southwest corner.
Carpenters worked all day, last
Sunday, on the interior of the
building. in an effort to get it in
shape for moving at the earliest
possible date,
Hughes—Irvine,— A pretty wed-
ding took place in St. John’s Epis-
copal church, Brooklyn, N. Y, at
7:30 o'clock on Monday evening, De-
cember 23rd, when James P. Hughes,
of Palmyra, N. J,, was married to
Miss Marion F. Irvine, of Fort
Worth, Texas, The ceremony was
! performed by the rector, Dr, T. B.
Holland. James R. Hughes, head-
master of the Bellefonte Academy,
gave the bride away and the attend-
ants were Miss Virginia Hughes, as
maid of honor; Miss Daisie Hughes,
bridesmaid, and Graham Hughes,
best man. Only close relatives of
the contracting parties were in at-
tendance.
The bride is the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Irvine, of Fort
Worth, Texas. She is a graduate of
Fort Worth High school and during
the past two years has been employ-
ed in the dean’s office at Bucknell
University,

CURB TREE VANDALS
NOT YET APPREHENDED.
The men who, several nights be-
fore Christmas, despoiled the color-
ed lights on the curb trees on
south Allegheny street, have not
yet been apprehended and as it
looks now there is little likelihood
of their detection. It isa fact much
to be regretted, as such acts of
vandalism is discouraging to busi-
ness men and citizens generally
who, in a spirit of holiday progres-
siveness, invest both time and
money in street decorations only to
have them despoiled by people
whose acts are both vicious and de-
grading.
In despoiling the trees the men
who did the job were not content
to steal some of the strings of
colored lights, Other strings were
torn from the trees, the bulbs
broken and the wires thrown down
on the pavement, It is because of
such contemptible viclousness that
extra efforts should be put forth by
the properly constituted authorities
of Bellefonte to ferret out the yan
dals who despoiled the trees.
——On the day before Christmas
a friend in Millheim: sent two nicely
dressed capons by parcel post to
Mrs. John Musser, in Bellefonte, for
her Christmas dinner. But the pack-
age .did not reach the Musser home
until the day after Christmas and
then the capons were beyond re-
demption and had to be fed to the

Philadelphia, and Miss Anna M.
Straub, of Bellefonte, were married
at the Pine street Presbyterian
church, in Harrisburg, on Thursday
morning of last week, by the pas-

fair, Mr. Staples came to Belle-

decision to get married was made
that day. They motored to Harris-
burg the same evening, were mar-
ried Thursday morning and continuasd
their trip to Philadelphia where
they will be at home at No, 6235

The bride is the only daughter.
of Elmer E. Straub and is a
charming young woman. She was

and for several years was employ-
ed in = the office of the West Penn
Power company, resigning her posi-
tion almost . a year ago. Mr. Sta-
ples was at one time division engineer
for the State Highway Department
in this district, with headquarters
in Bellefonte, but several years ago

first assistant engineer of the Phil-
delphia Division,

——Returning home from ;
mas services in the Reformed churct
a Willowbank street woman proceed
ed to remove her galoshes, One of
them came off easily but she coulc
not budge the “zipper” fastening or
the other. A shoe dealer was sum-
moved but he had no better success
Finally the overshoe was cut off anc
then it was found that the shoe lace
had been caught in the fastener anc
locked it so completely that it coulc
not be moved.
——Certainly no one could com-
plain of the program planned for the
Richelieu and State Theatres for
the next two weeks. With such
stars as Doug and Mary, Harold
Lloyd, George Bancroft and Hoot
Gibson, coming in their very latest
and most talked of pictures we can’t
see anything but packed houses at
the two theatres for days to come,
It is not often that such an array
of the great in filmdom is crowded
into such a short time.
