ST. VALENTINE ON OUR STREET.
When good St. Valentine wanders forth,
To scatter love and joy,
He seems so much like Santa Claus {
at every .girl and boy
ust hasten to the candy shops,
Or else, with flowers sweet,
ch sends his ‘love’ this message: -
‘St. Valentine’s on our street.”
0 when the faithful postman
omes, a-tapping at your door,
d hands to you a package
Like you've never seen before; |
"Twill be a true and wondrous sign,
If big, or tiny and neat,
. That some one loves you very much
For ‘St. Valentine's on your street.’
And all the time, I charge you
Hold fast to what he sends
Though the good Saint comes but yearly
His love thcughts never end.
And, again, he’s just like “Santa”
Whom daily each may meet
In neighbor, friend or stranger ,
Through ‘St. Valentine on your street.

known by every man, woman and

faithful employees the company ever
had in Bellefonte. In the many
years he has worked for the com-
pany he has lost very little time
through illness, and he was always
on the job and on time even when
he had to wade snow knee deep at
five o'clock in the morning, He
was courteous and accommodating
at all times, and his presence in the
baggage room will be missed by the
periodical travelers to and from

present assistant, who has been with
the company long enough to win
the promotion.
THREE SERIOUSLY HURT
IN COASTING ACCIDENT. MAKES VARIOUS BEQUESTS.’
eee |
Two High School Seniors Victims of
Sled and Auto Crash on
Monday Evening.
Two High school students, both
members of the.Senior class, and
another young man, are patients
{in the Centre County hospital suf-
fering with serious injuries sustain-
ed in a coasting accident on Mon-
day evening, the first really serious
accident of the winter. The vic-
tims are:
Mary Curtin, seventeen years old,
daughter of Major and Mrs. H.
Laird Curtin, of Bellefonte, fracture
of the left leg about six inches
above the ankle, and an injured left
shoulder, possibly broken.
Calvin Taylor, seventeen years
old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtin
Taylor, concussion of the brain and
possibly slight skull fracture. Been
in a stupor ever since being taken to
the hospital. ,
William Mills, twenty-one years
old, left leg broken and fracture of
left collar bone. He is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Mills, of Thomas
street.
The young people were coasting
down the steep hill on east Lamb
street when their double-runner
cutter crashed into the car of
Charles Hassinger, as he was go-
ing north on Allegheny street to his
home on Curtin street. Two other
young men were on the cutter when
the accident occurred, Jack Taylor,
son of ex-sheriff and Mrs. E. R. Tay-
lor, and Billy Bell, of Unionville, but
fortunately neither of them was se-
riously hurt.
To - start at the beginning, the
school board had a meeting on Mon-
day evening and were still at the
High school building when the acci-
dent occurred. The school dramatic
club also had a rehearsal, at the con-
clusion of which they left the school
building and were naturally attract-
ed to the coasters on Lamb street.
As it was only about 9:30 o'clock
some of them decided to join in the
sport.
Realizing the danger of coasting
down Lamb street and across a
heavy traffic thoroughfare like Alle-
gheny street the coasters had sta-
tioned a small boy, Paul Wright,
on Allegheny as a look out.
Mary Curtin and Billy Bell had
made one or two trips down
the hill- when their sled broke and
they were invited to take a ride
down on the cutter. Calvin Taylor
was lying down and steering the sled.
Back of him sat Jack Taylor, then
William Mills, Mary Curtin and last
Billy Bell. According to the coasters
they received a signal from the “look-
out” which they understood to be
“all clear,” and they started down
the hill.
. The Lamb street hill is very steep,
covered with ice and the sled natur-
ally traveled at high speed. As they
neared Allegheny street Taylor saw
a car loom up right in the line of
his vision and then he lost his head.
Had he swung a little to the left the
car would have been past and he
would have gone by in the rear,
but instead of that he swung
sharply ‘to the right with the result
that the sled side-swiped the machine
with terrific force. The car was
.{ knocked from it's course in the road-
way over the curb and almost onto
the High school pavement. Both
doors on the right side of the ma-
chine ‘were broken, the runnng board
and fenders and right rear wheel
smashed. The heavy cutter was
broken in two and badly splintered.
The nature of the collision accounts
for the broken left legs and injured
shoulders.
The report of the collision and
cries which followed attracted the
attention of the school board, every
member of which was quick to go
to the rescue. Mr. Hassinger, driver
of the car, while dazed by the colli-
sion, lost no time in going to the as-
sistance of the tinjured and assisted
in carrying them into the school
house. Jack Taylor was dispatched
as a messenger to notify the parents
of the injured while Dr. Sebring was
quick to respond to a call for help.
The ambulance was also summoned
and Mary Curtin and Calvin Taylor
were taken to the hospital in it,
while George C. Bingamin took Mills
to the hosiptal.
Of the three seriously hurt Mary
Curtin and Calvin Taylor are High
school seniors. Mills is not going to
school but lives with an aunt on Wil-
son street. Billy Bell is, of course,
a student but his injuries are not of
a serious nature, although he might
be out of school several days recover-
ing from shock.
The accident will probaby put an
end to coasting on Lamb street and
possibly on every other street in
Bellefonte where there is much traf-
fic or which leads to a well traveled
thoroughfare.
