From an Unknown Exchange.
IfIf you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip,
And start on a long, long hike,
You'll only find what you've left behind:
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's a knock at yourself when you knock
the town
It isn't the town it's YOU.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest someone else goes ahead,
When every one works and
shirks
You can raise a town from the dead
_ And if when you make yours a perosnal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want

STOVER. The death of Orville J.
on
December 20th, was a distinct shock
to his many friends throughout Cen-
tre county. He had been confined
to his home since October 18th ‘with
kidney trouble and other complici.-
tions which naturally affected his
heart.
He was a son of John A, and
Catharine Riechley Stover and was
born in Liberty township on Decem-
ber 14th, 1863, hence was 67 years
and 6 days old. During his boy-
hood and young manhood he worked
‘at whatever he could get to do and
gained a reputation for thoroughness
and industriousness. Some thirty-
five years ago he took charge of
the hotel at Blanchard and he was
the only keeper of a public house in
Centre county who never made ap-
plication for a liquor license in the
days when most every country hotel
had its refreshment bar. Over
twenty years ago he was elected tax
collector for Liberty township and
so efficiently did he do the work
during his first term that he had
been kept in the same office ever
since. In 1926 he was elected a
county auditor and had served three
vears.
He was a member of the Baptist
church, the Blanchard lodge
1. O. O. F., the Bellefonte Lodge of
Elks and the Loyal Order of the
Moose. Genial and companionable
under all circumstances he was a
man of sterling worth and charac-
ter and ip his passing Blanchard lost
one of it's best citizens,
As a young man Mr. Stover mar-
ried Miss Alice Heaton, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heaton, of
Boggs township, who died in 1923.
His only survivor is one daughter,
Mrs, Russell Spangler, of Blanchard.
Quite a delegation of Bellefonte
friends attended the funeral which
was held at two o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon of last week. Rev. A. G.
Herr, of Milesburg, officiated and
burial was made inthe Askey ceme-
tery.

MERRIMAN, Miss Christena
Merriman, former secretary of the
Foreign Policy Association of Amer-
ica, died in her apartment in New
York city on Wednesday afternoon
from the effects of a gun shot
wound, seif inflicted.
She had been in ill health for
several years. In fact it was be-
cause of that that she had resigned
the important post she had held and
taken up photography as an art,
rather than as a commercial ven-
ture.
No cause for the tragedy is known
lest it might have been the conse-
quence of her broken health. Her
maid and her secretary were in the
apartment at the time, but neither
one of them had noticed anything
that might have explained Miss
Merrnman's act.
She was very prominent in con-
structive post war work in New
York, as will be attested by the fol-
lowing excerpts taken from a trib-
ute to her memory by several of
her associates and published in the
New York Times of Dec. 29.
“There was something at once
vivid, daring and constructive in the
contribution she made to the life of
New York and to the newer forces
that have gathered head in inter-
national relations *** Her associ-
ates over the year would like others
to know how she gave her life, over
and over again, open handedly, brave-
ly and effectively, to a cause which
is epitomized in the enduring mes-
sage of the Christmas season:
Peace on earth and good will among
men *** Those years of her life
and the liberal impluses that in-
spirited them were the contribution
of one woman to America's entry
into peace.”
* Miss Merriman was a resident of
Bellefonte during the period the
family lived here and is a sister of
Mrs. John Blanchard, of this place.

MAURICE CHEVALIER
AT THE RICHELIEU,
A triple comedy treat has been
prepared for moving picture patrons
in Maurice Chevalier's “Playboy of
Paris,” which will be seen at the
Richelien Monday and Tuesday of
next week. In addition to the joy-
ous singing star of this fast and
sparkling laugh and love romance,
Eugene Pallette has an important
funmaking role, and Staurt Erwin,
the dumb Axel of “Sweetie,” is in
the cast.
Chevalier, Pallette and Erwin are
cast as a trio of restauranteurs
in “Playboy of Paris.” Chevalier is
a singing waiter with dreams of be-
coming a wealthy and heartbreaking
man-abont-town. Pallette is the
rotund chef. Erwin is Pallette's
kitchen boy. They play for laughs
in the kitchen, until a suprise legacy
sets Chevalier up in the world, al-
though a twenty-year contract holds
him to his job as waiter.
The comedy elements of “Play-
boy of Paris” are almost as strong
on the feminine side as they are on
the male. Dorothy Christy, the live-
ly and irrespressible Ziegfeldian
beauty who inspired a lot of action
in the stage productions of “Good
News,” “New Moon” and “Follow
Thru" is cast as an aspiring gold-
digger, Cecil Cunningham, inter.
nationally famous comedienne, seen
with Ruth Chatterson in ‘“Anybody’s
Woman is Chevalier's blonde pursuer.
Governor Fisher has appoint-
ed John H. McCormick, of Williams-
port, a member of the board of
trustees of the Pennsylvania State
College to succeed the late Congress-
man Edgar R. Kiess, of that city.
Mr. McCormick is president of the
Lycoming Manufacturing Co. and &
graduate of the University of Penu-
sylvania.
