— The last will and testament ol
Mrs. Sarah Davis Dale, widow of
the late Clement Dale, who died in
December, was filed for probate
during the week. In it the testatrix
leaves to her son, former Judge
Arthur C. Dale, the sum of one dol-
lar ‘because he is able to make
his own living,” and the residue to
her daughter, Marian Ethel Dale. It
is understood that the estate con-
sists of about $5,000 in stocks and
cash, a tract of land in Worth town-
ship valued at from $1500 to $1800,
and a mortgage on a property in
Spring township. Miss Dale was

— Since the new highway that
has been built straight from Sandy
Ridge to Philipsburg the distance
from Bellefonte to Philipsburg via
the upper Bald Eagle has been
shortened until it is only 44 miles.
Via Snow Shoe the distance is 42.
The ‘Triangle’ route is the fastest
however, because it is all concrete
and a car has thirty miles of al-
most level running between here
and the Triangle. The shortest route
however, is by way of Port Matilda
and Flat Rock. That way it is only
32 miles and even though the twelve
from Port to Philipsburg are dirt
reads, if they are in fair condition
one can make that run much quick-
er than by either of the other
routes,
——Many of our readers know
and revere Dr. Lawrence M, Colfelt.
He is now living at Middletown, Va,
where he celebrated his 81st birth-
day anniversary on December 22nd.
It was the thought of William 8.
Furst Esq. of Philadelphia and Belle-
fonte, that some notice of the event
on the part of his friends might be
appreciated by the eminent divine.
Accordingly, he wrote a round-robin
Christmas letter that was signed by
one-hundred and fifty persons and
in it was enclosed a check for $300.
Dr. Colfelt was quite overwhelmed
and we quote just a few lines from
his letter of gratitude to Mr. Furst:
“My sensibilities also were touched
to the quick by the fact that your
dear bld mother obtained the signa-
Zures of so many of my contem-'
poraries among the professors of !
State College and dear friends in
Bellefonte.”
——Thomas B. Hamilton quietly
«<elebrated his 93rd birthday an-
niversary at his home on Allegheny
street, on Tuesday. His niece, Mrs.
E. M. Broderick, of State College,
was with him for the day and a
number of friends called personally
while others extended congratula-
tions by telephone. When we started
to write this item we came near to
saying the “venerable” Mr. Hamil
ton, but he is only venerable in age,
because notwithstanding the fact
that he is an nonogenarian he is as
spry on his feet as a man two
generations younger and his mind is
as active as ever. Mr. Hamilton
comes of a long-lived family. His]
grandmother, Mrs, Mary Curtin, was
95 years old when she passed away;
his grandfather and his mother were
both 90, and his brother, Thaddeus
R. Hamilton, was 91 when he died
a few years ago. Mr. Hamilton, by
the way, is the only Civil
veteran living in Bellefonte, and one
of the very few in Centre county.
He is at the present enjoying
cellent health.
was immaterial, being only about
one per cent. Considering that
agricultural conditions were most
unfavorable, and that a large por-
‘tion of our business comes from this
source, we feel that on the whole
the year has been one of progress;
particularly in our trust department,
which shows a gratifying increase
in volume of business.”
A glance at the condensed state-
ment printed in another column, will
show the bank's strong liquid condi-
tion, and such a condition is an es-
sential requisite to proper banking.
At the annual meeting of the
shareholders, all the old directors
were re-elected and the present of-
ficers continued.
During the year the bank lost a
valuable officer in the untimely
death of Mr. C. E. Robb, assistant
cashier, who for twenty years had
devoted himself to its interest. In
view of this vacancy the Board ap-
pointed Mr, Newell B. Long, cashier
of the First National Bank of Em-
porium, whose enviable record for
successful work is well known, as-
sistant to the president. Mr Long
will assume his new duties in the
near future.
The directors and officers re-elect-
ed are as follows: Charles M. Mc-
Curdy, president; W. Fred Reynolds,
vice president; James K. Barnhart,
cashier; Louis S. Schad, assistant
cashier; Chas. MacC. Scott, trust
officer; Jas. C. Furst, secretary of
the Board.
The clerical force is unchanged
and is composed of R, L, Krape,
Mrs. Ruth B. Willard, Miss Rebekah
C. Yerger, Miss Nina Lamb, Miss
Elizabeth Baney, Miss Geraldine
Noonan, while Paul Jones begins his
second generation of work as janitor.
FARMERS NATIONAL MEETING
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Farmers National
bank was held in the banking rooms
of the company, in this place, on
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
President Reed O. Steely presided
and W. M. Bottorf acted as secre-
tary.
Evidence of the interest taken in
the institution by its stock holders
was seen in the fact that over two-
thirds of the outstanding shares
were represented in person. %
Election of officers for the new
year resulted in the re-election of
all the old ones as follows: Presi-
dent, Reed O. Steely; vice president,
W. C. Smeltzer; secretary, W. M.
Bottorf: cashier, W. Hays Mattern;
directors, Reed O. Steely,
Bottorf, Jacob W. Weaver, Dr. 8. 8.
McCormick, John P. Eckel, Dr. 8S.
M. Nissley, Frank. P, Hockman,
Wm. H. Brouse, Dr. F. K. White,
E. F. Garman, W. C. Smeltzer.
After the meeting president Steely
made a public statement to the ef-
fect that the bank had had a very
gratifying year. Notwithstanding the
fact that the depression came on S80
shortly after its opening the net
earnings for 1930 were considerably
in excess of those for 1929 and
that the new institution is going in
to the new year most hopefully.
Only the formal, necessary busi-
ness of the meeting was trans-
acted in the banking rooms. As
soon as it was completed the fifty-
one persons present went to the
Nittany Country Club where a ban-
quet was served at 5:30.
Before gathering at the tables the
officers and share holders discussed
matters concerning the progress of
the institution. :
After the banquet all lingered at
the club for social contacts that
made it a most interesting and de-
lightful gathering.
FIRST NATIONAL, OF HOWARD.
The annual meeting of the First
National bank of Howard was held
on Tuesday, when the old board of
directors was re-elected, as follows:
W. J. Kurtz, T. A. Pletcher, Lot H.
Neff, William Weber, Jackson Kline,
R. H. Bennison and W. C. Thomp-
son. Officers’ chosen were W. J.
Kurtz, president; Thomas A. Pletch-
er, vice president; W. K. McDowell,
cashier; W. C. Thompson, assistant
cashier.
Reports submitted at the meeting
show a satisfactory condition of
progress during the past year, not-
withstanding the general business
depression.

CANDIDATES LINING UP
FOR COUNTY OFFICES.
From the number of men already
reported lining up for the various
county offices to be filled at the fall
election it is evident that this will |
be a good year for candidates.
Naturally the largest list of as- |
pirants for any office have their |
eyes on the Centre county jail, be- |
cause the office of sheriff isthe most
lucrative one in the county. Seven
men are reported as being willing |
to go to jail for four years. They
are Nathan R, Lamoreaux, of Phil-
ipsburg; L. Frank Mayes, of Lemont,
and James Leitzell, of Belefonte, all |
Republicans; Sinie H. Hoy, Peter
Breon and W. C. Auman, Bellefonte,
and John Boob Millheim, Democats.
Harry W. Frantz, Republican, of
Potter township, and Harry F. Jones,
of Bellefonte, are the only candidates
of that party so far reported as will-
ing to serve as county treas , al-
though there are sure to be others.
Two Democrats are considering the
the possibilities of making a run for
the office but have not yet fully de-
cided.
For recorder Lloyd A. Stover is
an open candidate for a third term
but will have to contest for the
nomination with Mack H, Hall. The
latter was a candidate four years
ago and gracefully yielded to de-
feat at the primaries, but will force-
fully present his claims to recogni-
tion this year. Up to this time no
Democrats have been mentioned in
connection with this office.
Frank Sasserman, who served two |
terms as register prior to the elec-
tion of Harry A. Rossman, is go-
ing to try to stage a comeback and
is already an active candidate for
the place. No Democrats have come
out, as yet, for this office.
For prothonotary S. Claude Herr
will be the Democratic candidate for
a second term and as he has made
such a splendid record during the
past three years will probably be
unopposed for the nomination. In |
the Republican ranks Paul Eckley,
of Valley View; E. R. Hancock, of
Philipsburg, and J. Edward Decker,
of Bellefonte, have been mentioned
as probable candidates.
Of course both Howard M. Miles
and Newton I, Wilson will be Re-
publican candidates for a second
term as county commissioner and it
is also stated that Howard Holtz-
worth, of Unionville, and James
Huey, of Halfmoon township, have
the bug in their ear. Many friends
of John S. Spearly are trying toin-
duce him to run for a third termon
the Democratic ticket while James
W. Swabb, of Linden Hall, will also
make another try for the office, it
is said. i
Of course this is just the begin-
ning. All the willing ones are watch-
ing for the first public announcement
and then the rush will be on.

court, 1930, on the charge of in-

the county jail, was granted a parole.
It will be recalled that Lucas drove
the car on the night of June 28th,
which was wrecked on Snow Shoe
mountain and one of the passengers,
Harry Ward, sustained injuries which
caused his death. In presenting the
petition for parole W. G. Runkle
stated that at the present time
Lucas’ wife and child are being
cared for by the borough, and that
he has a choice of two jobs, if the
court would grant the parole, and
could go to work and support his
family. Mrs. Ward, widow of Har-
ry Ward, was in court, and stated
‘that she did not object to the parole
being granted but she felt that

‘was also brought into court on a
bench warrant because he failed to

He also had a charge of false pre-
tense registered against him. On
each of the four cases he was sen-
tenced to pay the costs, a dollar fine
and serve 30 days in jail, or an ag-
gregate jail sentence of 120 days.
MANY COUNTY DOGS

January 15th, which was yester-

in the county were supposed to be

are running around with the old tag
and

rested on the heads of the various

were conspicuous by their absence.

Daniel Gordon, Merrill Gordon and
Samuel Irvin. They were known
as “safety chasers,” and the prize
for every wan who pulled his de-
partment through the four months
without an accident was a free trip
to Philadelphia and Wilmington,
Del.
When the contest ended on De-
cember 31st a checkup showed that
not a single accident had occurred
in any of the departments during
the four months of the campaign,
and every one of the twelve men
was entitled to the free trip. With
an official of the company in charge
the men left Bellefonte by automo-
bile, last Thursday, motored to Phil-
adelphia, thence to Wilmington,
where they were shown the plants
of the Warner Bros. Lime and Stone

GIRL WORKED OVERTIME
CAN'T GET COMPENSATION
Because Martha McKissick, 17
years old, worked overtime in the
ice cream factory of L. G. Sheasley
& Sons, at Flemington, she has
been denied compensation insurance
for an injury sustained in May, 1930.
Miss McKissick went to work in the
factory on the day of the accident
and had worked only a little over
three hours. Between 9 and 9:30
o'clock in the evening her dress
caught in some machinery and she
was painfully injured. The referee
granted compensation but on an
appeal from the insurance com-
y the Workmen's Compensation
last week, overruled the ref-
erece's decision and denied compensa-
tion, The reason given was that
the girl could not legally be em-
ployed after 9 o'clock p. m, and in
working overtime she did so at her
ig risk.
