TREES IN THE FOREST
Big trees in the forest
Are bending low with snow,
And what a pretty picture,
They always seem to show.
Looks like grandma's tatting
A’ hanging there on high,
Looks as if the faries wove them,
From white clouds in the sky.
I wish I could go and help them,
Oh, what fun that would be
To deck them all with lacy snowflakes,
Every single bush and tree.
But, of course, I'm not a fairy
And can't join them in their play,
But 1 can surely help them this way,
By admiring them each day.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN CENTRE COUNTY.
Items taken from the Watchman issue
of Feb. 18, 1881.
-—The Democrats of Clinton coun-
ty met on the 8th to nominate a
candidate for the Legislature in
place of Mr. Whaley, deceased. W.
W. Rankin, S, Woods Caldwell and
R. H. Krebs were placed in nomi-
nation and the balloting resulted as
follows: Caldwell 51, Rankin 25,
Krebs 2. Caldwell's nomination was
then made unanimous.
—The following persons have been
named as Democratic County Com-
mitteemen for 1881. (Then follows a
list for the thirty six precincts in the
county. Of the men then named by
the county chairman, P. Gray Meek,
only two are living: John T. Mc-
Cormick, Ferguson old, and W.
Miles Walker, Ferguson new. Is it
merely a coincidence or something
else that accounts for the survival of
two sons of Ferguson township long
after the representatives of every
other township in the county have
been called home Editor's Note,)
—The result of the local elections’
seems to have been generally favor-
able to the Democrats. Boggs,
Union, Unionville, Taylor and Phil-
ipsburg went solidly Republican last |
year, but in Tuesday's election they
turned almost completely around by
electing more Democrats than
publicans to office.
—The statement of the County
Auditors is published in this issue.
It sshows that it cost $48,018.24 to
run the county last year and that
there is $5757.50 in the treasury.
Notes payable amount to $82,531.34.
—David Hershberger Esq. died on
Friday night last at Zion. He was
a most respected citizen and was in
the 78th year of his age.

man, a good fellow and has made
an excellent borough executive, but

--The new Moshannon Banking

operation on Tuesday and the Watch-
man had the good luck to receive
the first check that was drawn on
it. The check was for five dollars,
It was drawn to pay the subscrip-
tion of J. F. Steiner immediately
after Mr. Steiner made one of the
earliest deposits in the new bank. |
—Th new borough officials for
Bellefonte are: John Powers, bur-
gess; John Sourbeck, assistant bur-
gess; George Bayard, overseer of
the poor; 8S. D. Gray, treasurer;
Isaac Lose, constable; George Walk-
er, high constable; S. D. Ray, audi-
tor. David Butts, R. M, Gilmore
and George Skinner were elected’
school directors. (George Skinner
who was elected to the school board
from the West ward, was a negro
barber and defeated one of the lead-
ing white citizens of the ward by
two votes, largely because those
were the days when partisanship
was rabid even in local elections—

WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR
CRIPPPLED CHILDREN.
The Philipsburg Ledger of Jan-
uary 30th contains a lengthy article
and editorial detailing the work of
the Crippled Children's Society of
Clearfield and Centre counties and
urging a moral liberal support of
the cause in the future than in the
past.
According to the Ledger, during
the year 1930 178 individual chii-
dren were seen and treated, 87 of
them being new cases. Visits and
re-examinations numbered 486 in a
total of 18 regular and half-day
clinics, Thirty-three operations were
performed by attending surgeons,
fifty-nine casts were applied and
ten children were discharged as hav-
ing been permanently cured of their
deformities. At the present time a
large percentage of the children un-
der treatment have shown pronounc-
ed improvement.
Efforts are now being made to
widen the scope of usefulness of the
society so as to give aid to every
crippled child in Clearfield and Cen-
tre counties. In Bellefonte the
crusade is being carried out undef
the direction of the Kiwanis club;
Samuel H. Shallcross being the
chairman of the committee in charge.
Co-operating with him is Mrs. David
| E. Washburn, a graduate nurse, who
| visits the homes or children under
treatment in order to note their
progress. An interesting experiment
will soon be made in the case of
three crippled girls who are to be
given swimming lessons as one of
the means of treatment.
The work is being sponsored by
the various Kiwanis clubs in the
district and is supported entirely by
voluntary contributions. '

JANUARY WEATHER
WAS ABOUT NORMAL.
According to H. P. Parker, in
charge of the U, S. Weather Bureau
at the air mail field here, our Jan-
uary weather was about normal in
every respect except as to precipi-
tation. He says:
The monthly mean temperature
was 28.0 degrees; the highest tem-
perature 51 degrees on the 25th
and the lowest 1 degree above zero
on the 3d. There were 21 days with
the daily minimum temperature be-
low freezing and 6 days with the
daily maximum temperature above
' freezing.
The total precipitation was 1.01
inch; the greatest amount in any
tweaty-four hours was 0.46 inch on
the 5th and 6th. The total depth
of snow was 4.6 inches.
Precipitation in some form occur-
red on 22 days, ard of these there
was snow on 20 days. There were
6 days with 0.01 inches or more of
precipitation. Sleet occurred on the
29th and 30th,
The average daily range in tem-
perature was 18.4 degrees and the
mean daily change;—the average of
the difference in daily mean tem-
perature from day to day, was 4.6
degrees.
The monthly mean barometric
pressure was 30.02 inches, reduced
to sea-level, and the mean station
pressure 28.87 inches. The prevail-
ing wind was southwest and a max-
imum wind velocity of 36 miles per
hour from the west occurred on the
21st. There were 4 clear days, 12
partly cloudy and 15 cloudy. Dense
fog occurred on the 6th.
Probably a clearer con:eption of
these values may be obtained by
comparison with corresponding data
recorded during previous years in
Bellefonte and other localities near-
by.
The mean of 12 years record of
temperature for January in Belle-
fonte is 28.1 degrees; of 42 years
records at State College 26.2 de-
grees; of 30 years record at Centre
Hall 257 degrees. The previous
record made in Bellefonte by Mr,
Fred Kurtz, is probably 3 degrees or
more higher than it would be atthe
present site of the Weather Bureau
station.
The warmest January of
in Bellefonte was in 1906 with a
monthly mean temperature of 35.6
degrees and the coldest in 1904 with
a mean of 19.6 degrees; in State
College the warmest occurred in
1890 with a mean of 36.6 degrees
and the coldest in 1918 with 14.6
degrees. The highest January tem-
perature ever recorded at State Col-
lege was 67 degrees in 1906 and
again in 1916, the lowest 17 degrees
below zero in 1883 and 1912.
The average January precipitation
is as follows: Bellefonte and Rock-
view combined, 11 years record of
the former and 9 of the latter,—
is 2.87 inches; Fleming 2.69 inches
for a period of 9 years, 1859 to
1867 inclusive; State Colllege 3.06
inches over a period of 42 consecu-
tive years, The heaviest precipita-
tion recorded in Bellefonte was 5.68
inches in 1910, lightest 1.70 inches
in 1908. The heaviest precipitation
in Fleming was 5.42 inches in 1862
and lightest 0.55 inches in 1866. The
heaviest at Rockview was 4.09 in-
ches in 1923 and lightest 1.18 inches
in 1916.
The average snowfall in January
for Bellefonte, covering a period of
15 years is 15:2 inches; for Centre
Hall, covering a period of 29 years,
12.5 inches; for State College, cover-
The heaviest snowfall in any Jan-
uary at Centre Hall was 34.8 inches
Another heavy fall of 33
jest snowfall at Rockview was 29.0
fall of 28.0 inches in 1923.
If consideration is made for dis-
compared, for topography, exposure
‘of instruments and for short and
intermittent records, it will be seen
that the past Jauary practically was
normal with regard to temperature,
but with only about 40% of the nor-
mal amount of precipitation and ap-
proximately one-thir of the normal
' snowfall.

STATE COLLEGE BOASTS
OF ONLY WOMAN SECRETARY.
State College boasts of having the
‘only woman borough secretary in
the State in the person of Mrs.
Madeline C. Campbell, who has of-
ficiated in that capacity during the
past three years. Not only does
she officiate as secretary of the bor-
ough council but is superintendent
‘of the borough's bureau of building
inspection under a zoning commis-
sion and has granted building per-
mits totaling more than a million
dollars within the past two years,
exclusive of any of the college
building operations.
She also holds the office of secre-
tary to the borough board of health,
'and has recorded all property deeds
in the borough, totaling 1300 to date,
‘and supervised the plotting of all
| properties on maps for borough offi-
icials and the general public.

CLAIM NOT FILED IN TIME
MAN DENIED COMPENSATION.
Edwin R. Baldridge, of Hollidays-
arg, compensation referee in the
sixth district, which includes Cen-
tre county, had his first hearing in
Bellefonte since his appointment to
succeed referee Jacob Snyder, on
Tuesday morning. The case was
that of Harry Lambert, who made
application for compensdtion for
frozen feet sustained while working
for the West Penn Power company
over a year ago, but because he
failed to file an application within
ninety days, as stipulated by law,
the case was dismissed without hear-
ing much of the evidence.
During the time that the West
Penn Power company operated their
plant at Milesburg Mr. Lambert
was the fireman in charge. When
that plant was closed down at the
beginning of 1930 the company had
no job as a fireman to give Lam-
bert but offered him work with the
construction gang, which he accept-
ed. In January, 1930, he worked
with the gang in constructing the
Shoemaker line, in College township.
It was very cold at the time and it
was then, he alleges, he froze his
feet. But he failed to say any-
thing about it at the time or make
any claim for compensation.
He worked on the construction
gang about a month then quit and
went to the Federal Match corpora-
tion to fire boilers, He worked
there until last fall. During the
summer his feet troubled him con-
siderably, and last fall they became
so sore that he had to quit work.
| Believing that the trouble came from
having his feet frozen the winter
previous he then filed his claim for
compensation, but it was then
the neighborhood of eight months
instead of the limit of ninety days
| because of this
| dismissed.
Though dimissed because of the
(absence of legal standing, the case
is not without merit. Mr. Lambert
has a large family to support and
‘has not been able to do any work
since he quit the Match company.
‘Both his feet are affected and he
is confined to the house all the
time.

WHEN LINCOLN GOT SICK
ON SPOILED RABBIT
A new Lincoln story came to light
NS Ta
ruary e 0 ,
of Frigidaire Ed Bn
Attested by Luella B, Lyons, of
Washicgton, Ill, the story has to do
with a lecture the great emancipator
‘delivered to the ‘best cook of my
acquaintance” on the fundamentals
of refrigeration.
“Never again,” so goes this latest
Lincoln story, “would he eat a bite
of her cooking, wrathful Abraham
Lincoln told Mrs. Gideon Garst, as
breakfastless he prepared to ride
away from her home after having
spent a sleepless night nursing a
sick stomach.
“Spoiled rabbit, served the pre-
vious evening at the Garst home,
laid the foundation for Lincoln's
life-long aversion to rabbit, brought
forth a lecture upon the danger in
contaminated food which all Meta-
mora, Illinois, where the incident oc-
curred, never forgot.
“In the days when he was an
itinerant lawyer, Lincoln spent a
certain portion of his time in Meta-
mora, then a county seat. Usually
he stayed at the home of friends.
On this particular occasion he stop-
ped with Gideon Garst, whose wife,
Lincoln had once remarked, was the
best cook of his acquaintance.
“But good cooking is wasted
tainted food.
on
For this particular
reason his hostess served stewed
rabbit. The rabbit had been killed
several days before, and hung up
out-doors. A spring thaw caused
the temperature to rise and the
rabbit became slightly tainted, but
not enough for careful Mrs, Garst
to detect the fact.
“That night Lincoln grew very ill
and suffered agonizing stomach
pains. When all the list of old time
remedies had been tried and Abe
had recovered from the attack he
waxed wroth enough to tell Mrs.
Garst that he would never again
eat one bite of her cooking. Too,
he mounted his horse and rode else-
where for breakfast. And there he
repeated his lecture on refrigeration.
“His aversion for rabbit never
left him. Once he went hungry for
several days because there was no
food available but rabbit. In the
White House where an acquaintance
brought some choice rabbits to him
he retold his story of his Metamora
experience. History records that
Lincoln was meticulous about re-
frigeration in the White House. Ice
from the Kennebec river in Maine
was brought to Washington at his
behest because this particular ice
was clear and clean.”
