SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
SAYS BURGESS HARRIS.
Burgess Hard P. Harris has de.
clared for a safe and sane Fourth
of July by issuing a proclamation
forbidding the sale of the deadly
cracker or other explosions before
July 3rd and their use only on July
4th, and then with every precau-
tion possible against the danger of
fire or accidents. Now if the bur.
gess will see to it that his promul-
gation is enforced it should reduce
to a minimum the hazards to chil.
dren and property and also the an.
noyance of the promiscuous use of
explosives during the days preceding
the Fourth of July, nineteen hun.
as follows:
PROCLAMATION
“Safety First” should be kept in
mind when attempting to celebrate
the Fourth of July, nineteen hun.
dred and thirty, A “Safe and
Sane” observance is respectfully re-
quested. No fire works or display
of any description will be tolerated
within the limits of the borough of
Bellefonte except on Friday, July
4th, and then only in the most care.
ful and moderate way. Confine this
business to one day only.
“Safety First.” Numerous fires of
a very expensive character have
been started by the reckless use of
fire works; many accidents have
happened; annually we hear of men,
women and children being maimed
for life; many deaths occur from
the use of these explosives.
Merchants: If you have a supply
of these seemingly innocent crack.
ers and other devices for use only
on July Fourth, you are now re.
spectfully requested not to sell
them until July 3rd, 1930, and then
only by cautioning the purchasers
that the use of them is strictly pro-
hibited until July Fourth, wand on
that day only.
Parents: Be on guard every mo.
ment of the day, and see to it as
far as possible that no damage is
done to property; also caution those
In your household to be careful,
very careful, so that no accident
will occur or a life be endangered.
Given under my hand at Belle-
fonte, Pa., this 6th day of June, A.

BY PENSION INCREASE.
Forty three veterans of the Civil

benefit by the provisions of the pen-

on Monday. The bill provides for
increases in pensions, as follows: All
veterans now . receiving
month will hereafter receive $75,
and those receiving $72 and $90 a
month will receive an even $100.
Widows of veterans who formerly
had to be 75 years of age to re-

years. Just how many widows there
are in Centre county now receiving
pensions, or how many will be. eli-

The Harpster family reunion held |
at the old homestead, at Gatesburg,
last Thursday, drew a large crowd
of kinsfolk as well as warm friends
of the three brothers, Daniel, Samuel
and Ira Gates Harpster, surviving
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Harp-
ster. Everybody was invited for the
day and the morning was spent in
good fellowship and inspecting some
genuine furniture antiques. And as
proof of the genuineness of the an.
|
tiques it might be said that they
include pieces of furniture brought
to this country when the first
Harpster came to America in 1750.
The original emigrant settled in
Berks county but later came to
Centre and located at White Hall.
It was there Samuel Harpster, fath-
er of the three men named above,
was born. The boys eventually
bought the George Gates farm, in
Halfmoon valley, and have made it
one of the most productive in the
county. Of course the principal fea.
ture of the gathering, last Thurs-
day, was the big dinner and to
show ‘how big it was the guests
consumed 200 pounds of meat, 50
large cakes, 20 gallons of lemonade.
20 gallons of milk, three pecks o
beans, 12 cans of coffee, with an
ample supply of sugar and cream.
The meal was topped off with cigars,
and there were no leftovers. Appro.
priate talks were made by Revs, C.
W. Rishel, J. 8S. English and C. V.
