F Carbon couns- Extracts of speech 3arig delivered at a big rally ty Democrats Mauch uday afternoon, last: the 1830 frequently spoke oy at Chunk on Sat- “During campaign Govern- or Pinchot employment, told h had already appointed a mittee unemployment that he about it “On February 10th, he a joint session of the General Assembly at Harrisburg and filled two pages in Legislative Journal with excuse sand alibis, telling the people of this State that he could not do any- thing and then recommended the called ‘Kaufman plan’ or ‘Pittsburgh Plan’ which was only another way of telling industry to take of the unemployment situation itself, \ “Governor Pinchot in a very artful and adroit manner takes credit for re leving unemployment because some additional men were hired by the State to maintain the newly adopted 20,000 mile road system, but that is a mere transfer of road money. He stopped the bullding of concrete roads and threw the men working for road tractors out of employment. He also took the State ald and township re- ward money away from the township road supervisors so they will have less money to pay the road workers In the townships, “The road appropriation bills signed by Governor Pinchot are not above the ordinary. “The the would ETeat about un th he statewide com- and great wndiences it in hinted on was to do a deal going came before nearly he 80~- care <con- noney State will bepald out about the same have been prosperity only an deception lary to In sand hou i) will be addition, instructs understand and general governor has vernor Pinch spoils State, “Today Notary swear political veten sys Im administratios ba appointed “The use in Pinchot called to give phia and political these much like more pikers litical spoils. “Pinchot took the spoils which hero tofore were distributed among i litical spoils Pennsy was pr stem was in wwe Governot took a Pinchot Philadei- lessons In Ivania born 80 real and 2 the ighip to advertised in make angsters look or gama of po- small political units and centralized them all into his own hands, thus making him- self practically a political dictator In this State. “During the recent seasion the Legislature Gov. Pinchot vetoed the Wheeler roads bills which allocated the road money among ths various coun- ties on the milaege basis, the same way as school money is now divided on the per pupil basis, These bills were pass- el by a unanimous vote in both Houses and Senate, Their purpose was to take road appropriations out of politics the same as school appropriations have been taken out of politics “But Pinchot, self-advertised reform- er, vetoed them and sald that the peo- ple's representatives in the Legislature should not tell his administration pow and where to spend the people's money. “If those vetoes mean anything they mean that the people of Pennsylvania will now be expected to buy back their honest share of road money at price of their political Independence and their political manhood. “In view of these facts. which are a matter of public record. the public statement by Governor Pinchot a few days ago that unemployed Democrats in distress should be given employment by the State, becomes a mere hollow mockery and represents nothing more than an effort to conceal the real sys- tem of political spoilsmanship wnder the Pinchot administration. Why was such an order and such a public state: ment necessary by Govenrnor Pinchot if it was not the unusual and out-of the-ordinary thing for the Pinchot ad- ministration to hire men regardless of theig political beliefs and affiliations. “Governor Pinchot has made a great rocord on ‘political relief” but his rec ord on unemployment thus far has been a sad stoy for those in distress.” A Rs Refuse Spreads Disease, A Philipsburg man who makes hls flving by hauling garbage started dumping the refuse into his own yard His daughter, a girl of thirteendevel. oped diphtheria and other children In that vicinity were undoubtedly exposed 10 the danger. The case was called to the attention of the members of the Philipsburg board of health and they have guaran be removed. ’ of LOCAL SCOUTS CLOSE MOST ENJOYABLE CAMPING TRIP Make Use of State College Boy Scouts’ Camp Laurel Run, Strict Routine Observed, With Promo- tions to Higher Classes, The ub at thie the HAD ~ 2 and Close Boy Scouts of Troop to enjovable and instructive « ing trip the history of the organ ization when they returned from the Laurel Run Scout Camp in Huntingdon county Wednesda) f last Tha outing lasted five full the to and Wis by and which mountain Boy Scouts, an open an open-air outs brought a maost in week and Camp trucks from Kerlin's Homan's Garage situated belongs The fire mess 0 days, transportation from for Farm camp. of provided Poultry The knob State cabin There an the to the large place hall, is a College contains is also date four boys.

On Monday evening a Gettysburg scout. camping nearby, told a very in- teresting Indian legend. Other scouts who told stores one night or another around the campfire are Vinton Me- Clellan, Paul Foust and Woodrow Bradford. - On Tuesday a number of the boys passed tests in fire building and cook- ing. During the stay in camp some of the boys passed from tenderfoot to second class rank and others from second class to first class rank. A full report of these prometions will be pub lished later. Toward evening because rain threatened, the tents were taken down and the cots placed inside the cabin and on the long porch. If this had not been done it would have been impossible to break camp the next day, as the tents would have been soaked by rain. The camping trip was financed in three ways: first, the treasury of the troop; second, a fee of fifty cents paid by each scout, and third, contributions from various citizens of Centre Hall We wish to thank the persons who brought us watermelons. fruit, sweet Jeorn. layer cakes, candy, ote.
