some years. He took personal pride
in the record of the two local volun-

fire losses in Pellefonte, and lived to

recognition of his abilitieg as a fire

FOR LIGHT READING
Reading in bed isn't harmful at all—if your
posture is right and you have good light. The
above picture shows the correct posture. An
LES. lamp which distributes lots of good even
light all over the page makes a seemingly diffi-
cult reading task very easy. The lamp pictured
gives you an idea of the individuality
of the new styles now available.
