ASSOCIATION FORMED
i TO DISPENSE CHARITIES.
All Relief to be Co-ordinated to
Prevent Overlapping.
Sixty-five residents of Bellefonte,
representing various clubs, organiza-
tions and churches, met in the court
house, Monday evening, for the pur-
‘pose of forming an association to
‘control and dispense all relief that
‘may be asked for or necessary dur-
ing the winter. The meeting was
opened with an invocation by Rev.
Robert Thena.
On motion of John Blanchard
Samuel M, Shallcross was cliosen to
preside and Miss Helene Wliliams
was elected secretary.
Burgess Hard P. Harris stated that
the object of the meeting was to
form an association to dispense any
and all relief that may be necessary
| during the winter. Heretofore the
various clubs, churches, etc., gave
out baskets at Christmas and there
were a number of cases where fam-
lilies got as high as four baskets
| while others just as deserving got
none. With one directing organiza-
‘tion all such giving can be co-ordi-
nated which will prevent overlapping
‘and at the same time give relief to
| all deserving cases. He stated that
ion Sunday he had received two ap-
peals for help, one from a family of
ten.
Mr. Blanchard endorsed burgess
Harris’ suggestions for forming an
organization.
Mrs. W. Harrison Walker, rep-
resenting the Bellefonte branch of
the Woman’s Guild, stated that they
had various made-up articles of
clothing and will co-operate to the
best of their ability.
Cecil Walker, representing the
Elks lodge, pledged co-operation.
Mrs, Roy Wilkinson stated that
the Worian’s club is heartily in
favor of the movement.
L. C. Heineman, Y. M. C. A. sec-
retary, stated that while the associa-
tion has no charity fund he will do
all he can personally. He stated
that during the past week he had
gone out and solicited gifts of cloth-
ing for six wayfarers who had been
in Bellefonte. He didnt know
whether they were all worthy cases
or not, but he did know they were
needy ones.
George Hazel pledged the support
of the Kiwanis club and Mrs. John
S. Walker, secretary of the Mothers!
Assistance Fund, stated that they
did not have the handling of any
money but she knew of three moth-
ers in Bellefonte who ought to have
some assistance.
Rev. Thena pledged support of
the Reformed church and M. R.
Johnson spoke for the Methodist
congregation.
Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs made
a motion that the formihg of the
association be referred to the rep-
resentatives of the various organiza-
tions and churches present. Burgess
Harris stated that the time was
limited and the organization should
be made at once. Rev. Jacobs’
motion was put and carried and Mr.
Shallcross then ruled thatas all the
representatives were present they
would proceed at once with the or-
ganization.
An association was then formed
| by the election of the following of-
| ficers:
| President—Samuel M. Shallcross.
Secretary—Miss Helene Williams.
Treasurer—Miss Mary H. Linn,
Executive Committee—Mrs. R. S.
Brouse, Miss Daise Keichline, Mrs.
Roy Wilkinson, Mrs. W. J. Emer.
ick, Miss Louise Carpeneto, John
Sommerville, burgess Hard P. Harris,
George Hazel, Cecil Walker.
The executive commitfee was em-
powered to Select aids from the va-
ricus organizations and churches to
assist them in their work. :
Mr. Blanchard moved that the
choice of a name for the association
be left to the executive committee
as well as the preparation of a con-
stitution and by-laws, and that a
majority of the conimittee shall con-
stitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. Motion carried. The
executive committee was also em-
powered to arrange for permanent
headquarters for the association,
with some one in charge every day.
Mr, Heineman tendered the rooms
of the Y. M. C. A. as a meeting
place for the committee whenever
they so desired. ;
Cecil Walker stated that the in-
dependent football team of Belle.
fonte has scheduled a game with
Lock Haven players to be playedin
Bellefonte, the proceeds to be turn-
ed over to the new association for
charitable purposes. The only point
at issue being they would like to
play the game on Hughes field on
Sunday, as a number of the team
are working and will have to for-
feit a day's pay if they play on
Saturday. Several speakers object-
ed to the Sunday game and others
stated that they did not believe it
a question for the meeting to de-
cide.
Mr. Shallcross ruled that the meet-
ing had no authority to dictate as
to when the boys play, and there
being no other business the meeting
adjourned. 4
The executive committee held a
meeting, on Wednesday afternoon,
and decided to call the new organi-
zation the Associated Charities of
Bellefonte.
It was also decided that for the
present headquarters will be estab-
lished in the W. C. T. U. room in
Petrikin hall, and beginning next
Monday afternoon the room will be
JOHN W. HESS VICTIM
OF HUNTER’S BULLET. -
John W. Hess, of Altoona, loco-
motive engineer on the Pittsburgh
division of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, is in the Centre County hos-
pital with a bad wound in the up-
per part of the right leg as the re-
sult of an accidental shot from the
gun of Dr. Frank Bailey, of Milton,
while the men were hunting on
Stone mountain, in the Seven moun-
tains, last Thursday. won :
Both men are members of the
Modoc hunting club, which has a
permanent camp on Stone creek.
The entire party had been out on a
drive, Thursday morning, and at
noontime all returned to camp but
Mr. Hess and Dr. Bailey, who de-
cided to hunt an hour or two long-
er. Between two and three o'clock,
while descending Stone mountain,
with Mr. Hess in the lead, Dr.
Bailey slipped on a rock and fell to
the ground, his gun striking a rock
and being discharged.
With the cry “Why you've shot
me,” Mr. Hess sank to the ground,
Dr. Bailey hurried to the wounded
man and found that the bullet had
struck him in the upper part of the
right leg, near the hip joint, shat.
tering the bone and rendering him
entirely helpless. He dressed the
wound as well as he could and, as
Mr. Hess is quite a large man, ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
getting him down the mountain and
onto the road. He did not dare
leave him alone and it was some
time before an automobile came
(along and he was able to enlist the
i services of the driver to bring the
wounded man to the Centre County
hospital, so that it was after six
o'clock when they arrived here.
By that time Mr. Hess was suffer-
ing considerable pain as well as
nervousness from the shock. On
Saturday morning an X-ray showed
a badly shattered bone in the leg
but that no vital spot had been hit.
Since then Mr. Hess has been do-
ing as well as can be expected and
if no serious developments occur will
recover.
Mr.
township, a son of the late Michael
and Emma Hess and is 51 years
old. He is unmarried and is a broth-
er of Mrs, Harvey Schaeffer, of
Bellefonte, Newton E. Hess, of
State College, and E. W. Hess, of
Boalsburg. He has always been a
great hunter and on one or two oc-
casions accompanied his brother, N.
E. Hess, on his trips after big
game. :
Hospital authorities yesterday
morning, reported Mr, Hess’ condition
as quite serious, though not admit-
ting it to be critical. So far he
has not recovered from the shock as
should have been the case in this
length of time. He is also suffering
considerable pain. :

HUNTING SEASON
WILL END TOMORROW.
Raccoons will be Legal Game for
Hunters Until January 15th.
When the sun sets tomorrow eve-
ning the legal season for killing deer
and all other kinds of game, except
raccoons, for the year 1930 will
come to an end. According to most
of the deer hunters the past two
weeks have not yielded as good re-
sults as last year, the kill being es-
timated as considerably - smaller.
But the number of dead deer - that
‘have been hauled through Bellefonte
on autos would indicate that quite
a number of them had been slaugh.
tered.
Last Saturday's steady downpour
of rain and snow drove many of the
hunting parties out of the moun-
tains and many auto loads passed
through Bellefonte. Most of them
had from one to three deer strapped
onto the running boards. A good
many cars passed through Bellefonte,
on Sunday, with deer strapped onto
them, and every day since a few
cars have gone through with deer,
so that take it all together the
season cannot be regarded as a fail-
ure. While the number of hunting
parties who got the limit was not
nearly as large as last year, there
were a few that did, while quite a
number came in with three and four.
The Masonic camp party, of
Bellefonte, came in from the Alle-
ghenies, last Saturday afternoon,
with three fine bucks and a bear.
Luther Smith shot one of the bucks
and the bear.
One of the biggest bucks brought
into Bellefonte was landed here, on
Saturday evening, by Gilbert Noll.
It was an 8-pointer, weighed a little
over 200 pounds and was brought to
earth by Mr. Noll. In the party
were Gilbert, Art Shank, Grant
Kissling, a Mr. Baird, of Philadel-
phia, and several others, and they
got four deer.
Coleville hunters who camped on
Stone run, in the Seven mountains,
brought home three deer as the
spoils of their week’s hunt. !
The Hecla Hunting club got four
deer over in Sugar valley, two
5-prongs, a 4-prong and a 3-prong-
Last Friday Harry Ulrich and
son Kenneth, 16 years old, and sev-
eral friends, went over onto the
Brush valley mountains for a day's
hunt and Kenneth shot an 8-point
buck which dressed 180, pounds. He
was the only one in the party to
get his deer.
Hunting at the Water Rocks, in’
the Allegheny mountains, last week,
Cyrus Shope, of Bush Hollow, kill-
ed a bear which weighed 375 pounds.
It was so fat that Mr. Shope ren-
dered four quarts of bear oil from
the pads of fat on the hind quarters.
Up in the Pine Grove Mills district
it is estimated that thirty deer were
killed on Tussey mountain between
the Sholl and Musser gaps. !
The Neidigh hunting party got a'

The Shoemaker Bros, are claiming
credit for bagging “Old Barney,” a
proud old buck which has evaded
many hunters in past years. At,
least they got one with 18 points |
and which dressed 200 pounds. :
The John Kline crowd of day
hunters bagged four deer in four
hours hunting on Tussey mountain,
last Thursday. |
The Pine Grove rod and gun club
broke camp on Thursday, bringing
in 4 bucks. The lucky shots were
Fred Markle, C. M. Powley and
son and H. S. Elder. |
Will Ripka went into the Bar- |
rens, on the second day of the sea-
son and killed a 2-pointer. He tag. |
ged it and left it in his car for a
short time, and when he returned he
was considerably peeved to find that
some rascally hunter had stolen his
deer and gone away without leav- |
ing his address, i
The Louck-Heffner crowd hunted |
in the Scotia region and during the |
day Wilbur Dodd downzd a 4-point-
er. He was in the act of cutting |
the buck’s throat when it began to |
struggle to its feet. Grabbing both
horns Wilbur yelled for help. George
Louck responded and ended the!
buck’s career with a shot from his |
trusty Marlin. Mr. Louck, himself,
also bagged a 4-pointer.
John K. Miller gut a 4-pointer on
Tussey mountain, his first kill.

——The West Penn Power com-
pany put a force of men to work,
last Thursday morning, stringing a
line from Hecla to the Hecla moun.
tain beacon light on the New York
to Cleveland airmail course. The
beacon lights are under control of
the Department of Commerce and as
most of them are located on high
mountains they have been equipped
with their own lighting plant, but
the Department has evidently con-
cluded to secure current from com-
mercial electric companies where-
ever it is possible to do so, and the
equipping of the Hecla mountain

NEW BANKER TO COME HERE
ABOUT FEBRUARY FIRST.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors of the First National
bank of Bellefonte Mr. Newell B.
Long, who now is cashier of the
First National bank of Emporium,
was offered the appointment of as-
sistant to the President. He has
accepted the offer, and with his
family, a wife and two children,
will take up his residence in
Bellefonte and assume his new
duties sometime in the near
future, probably about February 1st.
i Mr. Long has an enviable record
as a successful bankcr. Beginning
his banking career with the First
National bank of State College,
about fourteen years ago, he quickly
displayed unusual ability and was re-
warded by being made cashier of the
Snow Shoe bank, serving that insti-
tution in this capacity for seven
years... Two years ago he resigned
his position in Snow Shoe to accept
the offer of cashierin the First Na.
tional bank at Emporium, In all
these several relations he has prov-
(ed himself the possessor of abilities
‘of a high order, and his selection for
an important post in the First Na-
tional bank is evidence of his rec-
ognized merit.
The strongest testimonials of his
successful work in Emporium and
sincere - expressions of regret at his
departure, have been received from
his associates thére.
Mr. Long has a wide acquaintance
in Centre county, gained by his for-
mer residence here, and he will be
welcomed not only by his old ac-
quaintances but by the banking
fraternity, as a distinct addition to
their numbers. :
