-———Members of the borough coun-
“cil are becoming agitated over the
welfare of the big trout in Spring
creek, and rightly so. Years ago
Bellefonte was known as the “Home
of Governors,” but in these days of
fast travel by automobile more
people know it as the town where
one can
watch hundreds of big trout disport
in the sparkling waters of Spring
creek. So we say, by al’ means take
care of the fish. Feed them if need be,
and if boys take pot shots at them
with air guns, see chat the illegal
practice is stopped. But all the
marks on the trout are not from
lack of food or shows from air guns.
Most of the scars come from the
bucks fighting over a fair lady trout
during the spawning season. We
have watched their combat many a |
time; have seen a big buck grab
another and shake him like a bull
dog, slashing off ribbons of flesh
from his sides and back. But the
spawning season is about over and
in due course of time the scars of
scars of the fight will disappear,

BUSINESS TRANSACTED
BY BOROUGH COUNCIL.
Just six members were present at
the regular meeting of borough
council, on Monday evening, the first
for the new year.
W, T. McCormick, of the West
Penn Power company, was present
in the interest of securing the pass-
ing of an ordinance granting the
company the right to erect a pole

P. Harris, Harold M. Young appear-
ed before council and admitted that
it was his wife who drove against
an electric light standard in front of
the Katz store, last August and
broke it off. He agreed to pay the
bill for repairs, about $36.00, in in-
staliments,
Burgess Harris called the atten-
tion of council to the fact that a
number of cars with old licenses are
standing on the streets and he is
going to have them hauled cui vaio
the lot beyond the spring. If the
owners fail to claim them within a
reasonable time they will be turned
over to a junk dealer.
G. Oscar Gray appeared before
council and asked for the compen-
sation insurance, stating that he
now has a company that pays divi-
dends on about the same basis as

request due consideration.

HOME BREW PROVES COSTLY
TO BELLEFONTE WOMAN.
For having in her possession five
and a half cases of home brew when
her home was raided by officers on
the night of December 23rd, Mrs.
Bertha McGinley, of Pike alley, was
sentenced to pay the costs of pros-
ecution, pay a fine of $200 and be
on probation for a period of three
years, after she had promised Judge
Fleming, at a special session of
court, on Saturday morning, that
she wouldn't do it again. Just how
she arranged with the probation of-
ficer for the payment of the fine
and costs has not been revealed,
but by the time she does so she
will probably be a sadder but wiser
woman.
John E. Halderman, whose home
was raided the same night the of-
ficers made their unwelcome visit to
the McGinley home, was also sen-
tenced to pay the costs, $200 fine
and be on probation for three years.
in the raid on the Halderman home
the officers got five cases of home
brew.
John Davis, a State College youth
who several months ago was before
the court on the charge of passing
a worthless check, and was given
until December 31st to make resti-
tution and pay the costs, which he
failed to do, was brought into court
on a bench warrant and sentenced
to pay the costs, a dollar fine and
serve thirty days in jail
Henry Nevel, of State College,
who on Monday of last week waa given
a 210 days jail sentence for passing
worthless checks, was brought be-
fore the court again on Wednesday
on the charge of defrauding a board
bill in Philipsburg, and was given
an additional sentence of three
months in jail, a dollar fine and
costs,

ANOTHER CHAIN STORE
WILL LOCATE HERE SOON
Bellefonte is to have another chain
store and the already crowded gro-
cery field is to have one more oc-
cupant,
While it has been impossible to
get absolutely definite information
on the matter the rumors are such
as to justify the assumption that
a store of the Spencer Chain will
be located here shortly.
As to just where it will be open-
ed depends on developments. The
fact that James Heverly is going to
move his automobile accessory and
sporting goods store out of his
corner room and into the one next
to it, now occupied by the Ladies
Shop, leaves that corner open for a
new business. Mr, Heverly con-
templates retiring and turning his
business over to his son Cameron.
Political gossip combined with the
above moves gives color to the be-
lief that the former county treasurer
is to have a nice position under the
Pinchot administration.
“HE” L'S ANGELS” COMING
TO CATHAUM, STATE COLLEGE
Four years in the making, at a
total cost of four million dollars,
“Hell's Angels” comes to the
Cathaum theatre, State College, on
Monday and Tuesday of next week,
as the most spectacular picture of
the year and the greatest air epic
ever to reach the screen. So big
was this production that when it
opened in New York in the fall, two
theatres were run simultaneously at
$2.20 prices to handle the crowd.
“Hell's Angels” will make you
gasp. No film has yet had any-
thing like it, no other picture has
ever equalled the daring and breath-
taking magnitude of this mighty
drama of the skies, To miss it is
to miss the most thrilling picture of
the year, and it is the outstanding
attraction of the Cathaum’s January
Movie Month program. There will
be daily matinees, starting at 1:30,
with the evening show starting at
6:00.
FORMER BELLEFONTE GIRL
LOSES SON BY ACCIDENT.
Bellefonte friends of Mr. and Mrs.
E. Earl Stailey, of Pasadena, Cal,
will sympathize with them in the
death of their eldest son, Richard
Stailey, as the result of an acci-
dent on the Sunday following Christ-
mas. “Dick,” as the boy was famil-
farly called, and who was ten
years old, got a new bicycle as a
Christmas present. On Sunday he
went for a ride and ran into a pole
suffering a serious head injury. He
was unconscious until Monday when
spinal meningitis developed. An op-
eration was performed on Tuesday
but death resulted on Wednesday,
Mrs. Stailey, prior to her marriage,
was Miss Julia Curtin, of Bellefonte,
and she is naturally heartbroken
over the death of her son, who was
a bright and manly boy. In addi-
tion to the parents a six year old
brother survives, Burial was made
at Pasadena on Saturday afternoon.
Appeals for assistance have
been made to the American Legion
Auxiliary, of Bellefonte, by Mrs.
Donald L. Bowes, of Jersey Shore,
whose eight year old daughter and
eleven months old son were burned
to death in a fire which completely
destroyed the Bowes home, with all
its contents, at an early hour last
Friday morning, Mr. and Mrs.

house, The Bowes family lost every-
BELLEFONTE FIRE LOSS
VERY SMALL DURING 1980,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Bellefonte fire department responded
‘to 43 alarms during 1930 the fire
loss for the year in Bellefonte bor-
ough was only $4255, according
the annual report of John J. Bower,
chief fire marshall, submitted to bor-
ough council on Monday evening,
This compares very favorably with
1929 when the loss was only $3150,
and is a practical exemplification of
the efficiency of the personnel of the
department as well as it's equip-
‘ment, Mr. Bower's report in full is
‘as follows:
Bellefonte, Pa. January 5, 1931.
To the President and Members of
the Town Council of Bellefonte.
Gentlemen: —
In accordance with the ordinance
governing the Fire Department of
the Borough, I beg to submit the
following report for the year ending
December 31, 1930.
The Department responded to 63
calls, divided as follows: Seventeen
general alarms, twenty-six still
alarms and twenty out of town
calls. In so doing they traveled 165
miles, laid 8450 feet of 2% inch
hose, used 703 gallons of chemicals,
raised 276 feet of ladders and were
in service 28 hours.
The total value of the buildings
involved was $332,150.00; contents,
$254,925.00; Insurance on buildings,
$195,650.00; insurance on contents,
$132,900.00. Loss on buildings, $1540.-
00; contents, $2715, or a total loss
in theh Borough of $4255.00, or a
per capita loss of .88% cents. This
is slightly in excess of last year but
the percentage of loss on the build-
ings and contents involved is only
00727.
The cause of the various
were as follows: Burning flues,
defective flues, 3; short circuit in
autos, 3; short circuit in motor, 1;
hot lime in car, 2; children playing
with matches, 1; spark from ciga-
rette or pipe, 1; oil heater, 2; boil-
ing tar, 1; burning dump, 1; gasoline
explosion, 1; hot ashes, 1; gas re-
frigerator, 1; called out by the sheriff
to assist in search for missing man,
1; sparks from incinerator, 1; grass
and rubbish, 8.
The cost of repairs and supplies
for the year was $114.13; care of
apparatus and washing hose, $158.
75; gas and oil, $137.39. The Bor-
ough received for out of town calls
the net sum of $116.66,
The Department has in service
4350 feet of 2% inch hose in good
condition and 750 feet of % inch
chemical hose, 150 feet of 2%; inch
has been taken out of service in the
past year, all of it from the hose
purchased in April, 1921, The
pumpers and minor equipment are
in good condition.
During the year Council has pass-
ed a Building Code and improved
the water system and I would urge
that the minor improvements, as
suggested by the Underwriters, be
made promptly, so that we may suc-
| cessfully ask for a re-rating of in-
surance rates.
On behalf of the Department and
personally I wish to thank Council
for its cooperation and aid.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. BOWER,
Chief Fire Marshal.
