——A few days ago Mr, W. B.
Lyons, of Howard street showed us
an orange juice extractor that he is
taking orders for. It is a compact,
tidy little utensil that does the work
most effectively with a minimum of
effort. In these days when orange
juice is so generally used most peo-
ple are looking for an extractor that
will get the last drop from the
fruit. This one will do that very job.
Mr. Lyons is just recovering from
a serious illness andhas taken the

value of the gas stolen and be un-
der probation for three years.
Henry Nevel, of State College,

HE'D NEVER GET OUT,
“IT JUST CAN'T BE DID.”
Ralph Cole, of Bellefonte, began
the new year with a rather perplex-
ing dilemma staring him in the face.
tle was brought before Judge Flem-
ing, at a session of court, on Mon-
day afternoon, for failure to obey
a court order of September 20th,
1928, that he pay $25 a month to-
wards the support of his wife. The
court gave him ten days in which
to file a bond in the sum of $500 as
a guarantee for the payments and
failing so to do to be taken to the
Allegheny county workhouse and
the 65 cents a day prisoners are al-
lowed there be appropriated to the
payment of the court order.
And that is the perplexing situa-
tion. While it was not stated in
court how much Cole js in arrears
it is likely considerable. At 65 cents

if he works 26 days a month, would
make but $16.90, and certain it is

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES
IN METHODIST CHURCH.
Watchnight meeting in the Metho-
dist church here was featured by a
reception to all present by Dr, and
Mrs. Jacobs at their home. Refresh-
ments were served.
On Saturday, Jan. 3, at 7:45 mem-
bers of the church will meet in

business.
Blaine Mabus Jr won the contest
conducted by Mrs. E, O. Struble,
superintendent of the Temperance
society, for the best quotation from
an American author, lecturer or re-
former, bearing on the benefits of
total abstinence. During the exer-
cises Miss Kathryn Johnston read
some of the immortal Lincoln's ut-
terances on the subject,
Christmas services in the church
and its schools were celebrated
throughout Sunday, Dec. 28. In
the morning Mrs, J. K. Barnhart's
department was in charge. In the
evening the primary department,
under Misses Hazel Johnson, and the
classes of Mrs. William Nighthart
and Mrs. William Williams, present-
ed fitting exercises in a splendid way.
The gifts of groceries, etc., were
turned over to the Associated Chari-
ties and $60 sent to the White Cross
and $30 t~ each of the two con-
ference homes.
The outstanding event of the sea-
sonal exercises was the cantata,
“The Story of Bethlehem" given in
the church on Sunday evening, Dec.
21, by the State College Methodist
chorus. It was beautiful and most
impressive, The chorus was well
balanced and contained several solo
voices of unusual! quality. Wearing
white cossacks and carrying lighted
candles its measured processional in-
to the darkened auditorium was a
beautiful prelude to the song story of
the birth of the Christ and the con-
cluding tableaux looked like a paint-
ing of Mary and her Babe on that
first Christmas morning.

STATE COLLEGE MAN
TAKEN ON ARSON CHARGE.
George Harris, who owns and con-
ducts a pool room at State College,
was arrested by State police, on
Tuesday, on the charge of arson
conspiracy. Harris is also the own-
er of a pool room and building in
Tyrone which was threatened with
destruction by fire last July, and
every indication at the time pointed
to the fact that the building had
been set on fire. Two arrests were
made shortly after the fire and one
of the men arrested made a state-
ment in which he maintained that
he had been hired by Harris to set
fire to the building. But on being
confronted by Harris, on Tuesday, he
admitted that he was not the man
who had hired him. Harris, how-
ever, is being held by Blair county
authorities pending a further investi-
gation into the case.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
FUNCTIONING
The work of the Associated Chari-
ties over the Christmas season in
Bellefonte was most commendable.
Every case that was reported to it
was investigated and if * meritorious
was treated with a lavish hand.
The Christmas period was the
high spot in the work because it
was especially desirable that then
there should be something to brighten
up all the cheerless homes in the
community,
The headquarters in Petriken hall
presented a husy scene the two
days before Christmas and devoted
women spent most of the time there
filling baskets and taking care of
calls for coal and warm clothing.
To be specific, up to the day before
Christmas the Association had re-
ceived approximately $600 in cash as
well as contributions of clothing. On
the Saturday previous to Christmas
the committee in charge of distribu:
tion was allotted $50 with which to
purchase groceries, etc., for baskets
for Sunday, and in each basket was
placed a piece of venison.
For the Christmas distribution the
committee was given $200 with which
to purchase chickens, groceries, flour,
coal, etc, and an extra $50 to buy
WELL,
underclothing, shoes and stockings
for children. For Christmas about
fifty baskets were distributed and
only one or two unworthy cases were
revealed.
The work didn't end then, how-
ever. Itis to be carried on with
diligence just as long as there is
need and any funds to supply it.
From now on headquarters in Petri-
ken hall will be open on Wednesday
afternoons only, from 2 until 5
o'clock.
Aside from the chronic poor Belle-
fonte has many families where help
is needed badly, These are ones
whose position is embarrassing to
themselves and in consequence their
needs are kept hidden. If you know
of any such report them to head-
quarters and a tactful way might
be found to help them with some-
thing they will not ask for.
Following are the committee
heads: Receiving and central office,
Mrs, W. H. Walker, chairman. In-
vestigation, Miss Daise Keichline.
Budget and disbursement, Mrs. W.
H. Brouse. Transportation and dis-
tribution, John Sommerville. Ways
and Means, H. P, Harris. Publici-
ty, Cecil Walker, Co-ordination,
Mrs. Roy Wilkinson .
The receiving and central office
committee, under Mrs. W, H. Walk-
er, as chairman will maintain the
central office in the W. C. T. U.
room, Petriken Hall, Phone 3-W and
someone will be on duty between 2
and 5 o'clock on Wednesday after-
noons only. All communications,
all contributions of money, food or
clothing will be received at this of-
fice, properly accounted for and
turned over to the proper committee
for action. All needy cases which
may come to the attention of any-
‘one should be transmitted to the
central office for action. This should
eliminate door to door begging and
in fact once the work of this or-
ganization is fully organized, door
begging will be eliminated, even if
the begging laws have to be appeal-
ed to enforce discontinuance.
It is not the inlention to discour-
age personal service to charity cases,
The committee will be glad to con-
sult with individuals to the end that
deserving families and children will
be recommended for this special
form of philanthropy.
1931 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
FOR BELLEFONTE HIGH.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Bellefonte High school football team
did not score a single touchdown
during the past season the athletic
{committee is not dismayed as evi-
denced by the fact that nine con-
ference games have been scheduled
for the 1931 season. The prelimi-
nary game for September 26th has
not yet been decided upon, but the
other games scheduled are as fol-
lows:

NAMED COLLEGE HEAD.
Raymond G. Bressler, deputy Sec-
retary of Agriculture of Pennsyl-
vania, was, on Monday, elected
president of Rhode Island State Col-
lege and upon being notified of his
election announced that he will ac-
cept the position. Prior to his ap-
pointment as deputy Secretary of
Agriculture Mr, Bressler was vice
dean of agriculture at State College.
He owns a farm in the vicinity of
Lemont on which he conducted var-
ious agricultural experiments.

day, announced the merger of the
Ardmore Title and Trust company
with the Merion Title and Trust
company, with resources of $12.000,-

announcement because of the fact
that the first vice president of the
Meno: bank is Murdock P. Claney,
whose wife was a Bellefonte girl,
Miss Helen McClure, daughter of
Mrs. Catherine McClure. The mer-
ger will probably result to the finan-

but his condition is not improving as
rapidly as his friends would wish.
Charles . Haines, of McKeesport,
was here for Christmas with his mother,
Mrs. Martha Haines, and his daughter,
Miss Margaret. Charley comes as regu-
larly as Santa Claus and we opine that
his visits bring just as much joy to
the Haines home on north Water street
as St. Nick's does to those in which
little folks live. He was able to stay
only a week because he could remain away
from his work only that long.
--Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Staples motor-
ed to Bellefonte, Wednesday morning of

companied by Mr. Straub for his first
vigit at his daughter's home since her
to resume
marriage a year ago. Just how long
he will stay in the Quaker City is un-
certain, as he refused to commit him-
gelf or make any rash promises.
—Mrs. W. J. Twigg, of Lemont, spent

Kelly's brother, W. T. Kelly, of east
Bishop street. Dave then went back to
Greer, while Mrs. Kelly and Miss Mary
went to York for a visit with friends
there. incidentally, Dave's Christmas
present from his employers was an ad-
ditional responsibility added to his
duties as general manager of the Greer
Supply Company and the Greer Lime-
stone Company. As we presume it car-
ried additional emoluments it is not
likely he will worry about that.

daughter Miss Anna and her son Fred-

nothing of those days, however, because
they hadn't yet arrived to grace the
Dunkle home. Miss Anna is a teacher
in the High school at Pitman, N. J.
—Dr. George R. Wieland, associate
professor of paleontology at Yale Uni-

at Yale for thirty-three years and is a

words that we can’t pronounce or un-

and can't remember that we know the

liamsport, on Friday. It was his inten-
tion to take a plane there for the flight
to New York. He said he wanted to
