Bellefonte Men Observe
New Year in Spring Creek
New Year's Day may come and

January 1, 1038 is a date they will
not soon forget, for both narrowly

of Spring Creek
Had it not been for the timely
arrival of assistance in the form of
Joseph Herman, also of Bellefonte,
this yarn might have appeared in
the obituary column, But since
everything turned out all right in

event becomes the first important
nature story of 1038

down over the bank, and rolled
completely over in the creek, com-

drivers’ side of the car, released
the door catch and pushed his way
out, telling Bartley to hang on to
the car until he could aid him. In
