CHARLES M. McCURDY
PUBLISHES A BROCHURE
— “Gettysburg, a Memoir,” is the
title of a very interesting little
brochure just issued by Charles M.
McCurdy, president of the First Na-
tional bank of this place. In it he
tells in a charming way the im-
pressions that were stamped on the
mind of a boy of ten during the
tragic days that the armies of the
Potomac and those of Northern Vir-
ginia were making history in.and
about Gettysburg. A few nights
ago we heard Floyd Gibbons, noted
war correspondent, make a positive
declaration that will blast popular
impression of a very important in-
cident of the World war. He stated,
and he was there at the time, that
General Pershing did not say, “La-
fayette, we are here,” when he stood
at the grave of our hero of France.
In fact Gibbons said Pershing did
nothing more than lay a wreath on
the grave. He said nothing, Mr.
McCurdy’s brochure contains a
statement, with a copy of a letter
that indubitably corroborates it, that
is likely to have even a more start
ling effect on accepted history than
was that of Gibbons, He states that
Lincoln wrote his Gettysburg speech
in the home of Judge David Wills.
In view of the’ controversy that has
been going on for nearly half a cen-
tury as to just where, when and
how Mr. Lincoln put into form the
thoughts destined to become a classic
the McCurdy evidence is certain to
provoke nation wide’ discussion.

FISHING CREEK CABIN
TOTALLY DESTROYED
The new log cabin on Fishing
creek which George R. Meek, of this
place, had just completed was total-
ly destroyed by fire last . Sunday
night about 9 o'clock, .
Mr, Meek with two friends, had
zccupied it for the first time for an
overnight stay and just three hours
after they left it was discovered to
be in flames. The origin of the fire
is a mystery because every precau-
tion was taken to prevent such a
catastrophe before the occupants
finally left it. :
The building was 30x30, a story
and a half high and built entirely of
logs, chinked and mudded. Somé of
the logs are known to have been {140
years old and were virgin white he,
walnut and oak timbers 30 ft. long
and hewn to 8x14 inches: i
In the cabin were Mr. Meek's ac-
‘cumulations ‘of little treasures of} his
thirty-eight years of camping :life
and while the ‘financial loss is {not
great the sentimental value of many
of them’ is irreparable. 3
Nothing “of the eabin or its fon-
tents was left.” "¥ nd i

BELLEFONTE’S FIRE LOSS :
VERY LOW LAST YEAR
Bellefonte’s fire loss last year was
the lowest in the history. of the bor-
ough and lower than the average for
the United States, according to the
report submitted to horough council,
on Monday evening, by chief fire
marshal John J. Bower, which
speaks in glowing terms for the ef-
ficiency of the fire department in
general and the loyalty and interest
of the firemen individually. Chief
Bower's report was as follows:
Bellefonte, Pa., Jan, 6, 1930.
To the President and Members of the
Town Council of the Borough of
Bellefonte.
Gentlemen: —
In acordance with the ordinance
governing the Fire Department, I
wish to herewith submit my report
for the year ending December 31st
1929: ’
During the year the Department
responded to 57 calls, divided as fol-
follows: 13 general alarms, 28 still
alarms and 16-out-of-town calls. In
these responses the Department
traveled 275 miles, laid 9900 feet of
2% inch hose, used 633 gallons of
chemicals, raised 280 feet of ladders,
and were in active service a total
of 38 hours. The total value of the
buildings within the borough which
were involved by the various fires
was $940,500.00; value of contents
$305,700; insurance on buildings,
$146 600; on contents, $139,200. The
Inss on buildings was $1995.00 and
on contents $1165, or a total loss on
buildings and contents of = $3160,
which is 21 mills of the total value
of buildings and contents, or a per
capita loss within the Borough of
.70. which is considerably below the
average per capita loss within the
United States and compares favor-
ably with the lowest.
The cost of gas and oil was
$107.02, repairs and supplies $277.83,
washing hose and apparatus $98.00.
The money received from out of
town calls which was net to the
borough, was $160.31.
The two White pumpers have been
tested and show an efficiency of 959%
of their rated capacity which, con-
sidering the length of service, is
very satisfactory. During the year
a Mack city service truck with a
750 G. P. M. pump has been added
to the Department thereby very ma-
terially increasing its efficiency.
The Department has in service 750
fee of 3 inch chemical hose and
4500 feet of 215, inch hose, all of
which is in good condition.
I again urge that the matter of
the building code, fire alarm system,
additional hydrants and minor im-
nrovements as required by the un-
derwriters be acted upon promptly
by council so that a final survey may
be made; which will result in a ma-
terial reduction of the insurance
rates within the borough, !
TI wish to thank the members of
council and partieularly of the Fire
and Police committee for their co-
operation in the betterment of the
Department.
All of which is respectively sub-
mitted,
JOHN J. BOWER,
Chief Fire Marshall.
