INK SLINGS.
BY GEORGE R. MEEK.
—The Gene Tunneys have their
first baby. It is a boy and since he
has been born to fistic royalty The
Long Count might be an appropri-
ate name.
—The fly in Governor Pinchot's’
unemployment relief ointment is the
$600,000.00 he wants to pay a hand
picked commission to disperse it.
More high salaried jobs for him to
give, you know.
— Announcement from Washing-
ton is to the effect that
eign Minister, are in accord for
pushing world recovery. That would
have been encouraging news if it
had only carried some information
as to who is going to push Mr.
Hoover.
Mrs. Pinchot resigned from the
Pennsylvania Council of Republican
Women because she thinks it is be-
ing “overloaded” with organization
women.” We don't know anything
about that, but we'll bet a dollar to
a doughnut that she wouldn't have
resigned if she had found the Coun-
cil “overloaded” with Pinchot organ-
ization women.
— Prince Nicholas of Rumania has
blackened the eye of his big brother
Carol, the King. The pen might
be mightier than the sword but it
evidently isn't as potential as the
fist. Sporadically, for a year, we
have been using a pencil to drape
crepe on the optic of the philander-
ing Carol and young Nicholas steps
up and does the job in an instant.
Yesterday was the day for gen-
eral Thanksgiving. In face of the
fact that the last of the few little
investments we had been depending
on to supplement the paltry com-
pensation we get for writing this
column has declared a moratorium
as to its dividends, we went toour
knees in prayers of Thanksgiving
‘for blessings we have had and for
the sustaining hope that behind the
most lowering cloud there is always
a silver lining.
— Last week this column said that
over half of the tax levied for poor
purposes in Bellefonte was consum- |
ed in maintenance of the borough
home. We were in error in that
statement. Of the $6,305.48 paid
for poor relief last year the home
took $2,633.13. When making the
statement we had no thought of
the way the local poor funds are
dispersed. We had in mind, only,
the amount the borough might have
available for temporary relief dur-
ing the coming winter.
— This million dollar road program
to get the farmers out of the mud
is an appealing thing, but we are
not going to lead any cheering for
it until someone shows us that
many farmers would not be better
off if the mud were so deep that
they couldn't get away from their
stock and their fields. To our way
of thinking the big howl from the
farmers comes from those who are
between the upper and the nether
millstone. And the upper stone is
Henry Ford and the nether one is
good roads.
With the death of Commissioner
Joseph G. Armstrong, of Pittsburgh,
the regular Republican organization
in Allegheny county is facing a
proolem almost as inscrutable as an
Einstein theory. The fact that

dictment on charges of misdemean-

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
OPEN HEADQUARTERS
IN PETRIKIN HALL.
May be in
Need During the Winter.
In preparation for extending aid
to all who may need it during the
coming winter the Associated Char-
ities of Bellefonte began major
operations on Monday.
A central reporting station will
be established in the W. C. T. U.
room, in Petrikin hall, which will
be open every day, except Sunday,
from 1.15 to 2.30 o'clock. All re-
ports of distress or requests for aid
should be made at this station. All
cases will be promptly turned over
to an investigator who will im-
mediately visit the home to deter-
mine just what is needed and to
eliminate duplication and possible
fraud. If the case is an emer-
gency one immediate aid will be
given; if not, the investigator will
make a report to the executive com-
mittee, which will meet once a week.
If the case meets with the approval
of the committee an order will be
drawn on a local merchant to de-
|liver the necessary goods to the
needy family.
The central reporting station will
lalso be used as an employment
‘agency and anybody who has any
work he wishes done, odd jobs or
anything, are urged to report same
|to this station, either in person or
|by telephone, No. 3-W. Those in
‘search of work are also requested to
| keep in touch with the employment
| station.
STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
COUNTY SUPERVISORS
AND AUDITORS MET
HERE ON TUESDAY.
| The Centre County Association of
Road Supervisors and Township Au-
| ditors met in the court house here,
on Tuesday, for their
| vention.
There were 73 supervisors and 40
auditors present when president H.
M. Hosterman called the meeting to
order at 10 o'clock. The first speak-
er was F. Glenn Rogers, county su-
perintendent of schools. He spoke
‘on the co-relation of good roads to
school attendance, stressing the ease
and dispatch by which good roads
make possible in the transport of
children to and from schools in the
rural districts where in some in-
stances they have to travel long dis-
tances because of the establishment
of central High schools, vocational
scools and consolidated schools.
F. W. Curtis, assistant engineer
of State highways, spoke at length
on the primary purpose and future
development of the 20,000 mile road
program.
W. J. Carrol, division engineer of
the Highway Dept. spoke briefly on
the tie-up between township and
State controlled roads.
The last speaker on the program
was County Commissioner, Newton
I. Wilson who made a very compre-
hensive report of what the Commis-
sioners have done, during the past
year in aiding townships and caring
for county roads.

COUNTY DEER SLAYERS
WILL BE OUT IN FORCE
EARLY NEXT TUESDAY.
More Hunter's Licenses Granted
This Year Than Ever Before in
| Centre County.
With approximately 67C0 hunter's
licenses granted to date, and the
probability that the number will
exceed 7000 by the opening of the
‘deer hunting season, next Tuesday,
it is quite evident that an open sea-
son for both bucks and doe is the
lure that will send into Centre coun-
ty mountains the greatest army of
hunters this year that ever went
‘out on the trail of deer. And to
the large number of resident hun.
ters must be added the hundreds
who always invade the county from
‘other sections of the State.
The open season for both bucks
and doe, and the eagerness of every
hunter to get his deer, will probably
‘result in smaller hunting parties
this year, inasmuch as the limit
for hunting parties remains the
same, six deer. In past years camps
contained anywhere from a dozen to
‘twenty hunters and they were satis-
fled to bag six bucks. But with
does legal game a hunting party of
eight or ten ought to have no
| trouble in killing six.
According to all reports there is
an abundance of deer in the moun-
tains, both in the Alleghenies and
the Seven mountains, and every
|crowd of hunters will likely go out
|to their favorite
The number of day hunters will
probably be larger this year than
formerly, every man anxious to kill
‘his own.
As the kill will undoubtedly be
‘much larger than ever before the
‘Watchman would appreciate it if
‘hunters and game wardens will tele-
| phone the kill to this office on the
opening day of the season.

Stuart Ellenberger, of Halfmoon
township, was arrested last week by

VOTING MACHINES MORE
COSTLY THAN BALLOTS.
Up in Luzerne county it cost
| forty thousand dollars more for the
primary and general elections this
year with the voting machines than
it has cost herstofore with the old-
time ballots and ballot boxes; and
that doesn't take into account the
enormous
chines with tho resultant
charge, depreciation, Etc.
But it isn't necessary to go to
Luzerne county for an example of
the cost of voting machines, as we
have one right here in Centre coun-
ty. As is generally known Rich-
ard J. Beamish, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, forced the County
Commissioners to purchase five ma-
chines for the borough of Philips-
burg. They were used at the elec-
tion on November 3rd, and the Com-
missioners have kept a careful ac.
count of the expense of same.
the bills are all in, and the Commis-
sioners are not sure as to that, the
cost of the general election in the
three wards of Philipsburg was
$375.85, as against $274.42 for the
primary election under the ballot
method, and this is not counting
anything for the storage of the ma-
chines, interest on investment, cost
of depreciation, Etc. One instance
alone of the increase in cost can be
‘cited, and that the printing of the
tags with the names of the candi-
dates which was $72.00, while the
| ballots would have cost just $36.00.
Thus it will be seen that the in-
| crease in cost for the three voting
precincts of Philipsburg was $101.43,
or $33.81 a precinct; or to figure
further $20.28 a machine. In Cen-
| tre county there are 65 voting pre-
,cincts and at the above rate of in-
|crease in expense it would mean
that every primary and every elec-
tion in Centre county would cost
the taxpayers approximately $2200
more with voting machines than
| with ballot boxes, which would be
$4400 a year. And this without any
| interest charges on the investment.
| In the meantime the Commission.
ers have not yet been billed for the
Philipsburg machines, so that the
(exact cost is still unknown.
