'the national championship of the
American Automobile Association,

one of the most thrilling climaxes
in the history of automobile racing.
With the championship hanging on
the balances ready to topple either
to the side of Lou Schneider or
Freddy Frame, depending on who
sets the fastest pace, the Labor day
classic promises to uncover faster
speeds than ever before known to

championship for which he has been

blaze of glory, must win at least the

A big steel gas tank is being

Gas company, on it's property near

When the service was installed
there a 5,000 cubic foot tank was

deemed ample for all purposes, but
the consumption of gas at the Col-

The acolyte festival, which brings
Dr. Oliver to Bellefonte, has been
arranged by Father Gast and the
local branch of the St. Vincent
Guild of Servers and is the first
festival of its kind to be held in the |
diocese of Harrisburg. The pur-
pose is to bring together the vari.
ous groups of acolytes, boys who
serve at the altar of the church and
in other ways assist in the services,
for spiritual advantages and gen-|
eral good fellowship. Priests and |
their acolytes from many parishes
in the diocese and outside have been
invited to come to this festival.
