At a cost of over $500, some 20.000 descriptive folders show ing points of interest in and around Bellefonte and the county, were printed and distributed throughout | Pennsylvania and neighboring | states. The response to the folder advertising has been gratifying. Much favorable advertising for the town has been obtained through the State Publicity Commission's pro- | gram of publicity which has in-] | cluded many stories and scenes of interest in this section in the re- | leases sent to newspapers in every during a heavy he thought consoquen men and women and travel editors at various times during the past year The Chamber, with its secretary, Karl E full time Kusse, has spon- | sored numerous sales days for mer- chants of Bellefonte and such as the Lucky Days week-end, In an effort to Increase the volume of retail sales in the community. In view of the present economic conditions these efforts have proved successful Since the silk mill in Bellefonte shut down, throwing more than 100 employes out of work, the Chamber has worked hard in compiling and interviewing a list of prospects who might take over the plant and re- sume operations In addition to these activities the Chamber has assisted In every pro- ject for the benefit of the commun- ity, such as the annual welfare drive this vear during which Secretary Kusse devoted most of his time work in connection with the drive, aving the Welfare Fund $500 vicinity, Sale this 10 Judge Walker Dis- (Continued from Page 1) Davis to be permitted Lo cf She refused and walking “way home followed her package continued irned around Ww area of town Davis puiled ! re assaul empting men g the her I idge Walker then ge passed until an main i Roe examination charged ar he Was garage fonte it there fier the on stated a # a .
