Walker returned home on Thursday evening from a two weeks vacation spent in Pittsburgh Ligonier and Tyrone. Mr, Del. Shearer and Miss Louise Walker motored to Harrisburg on Friday where they were united in marriage. Af.er a brief trip through | Virginia they returneq to the Walker home Sunday evening Leaving Monday morning for New Alexandria where Mr, Shearer is in business with his father, and where they will go to housekeering Our sincerest congratulations are extended to this estimable young couple. Mr. and Mrs, Charles Grenninger anj son-in-law, daughter and two grandchildren of Lockport Heights were Sunday callers at the George Smith home.

At the front is the private office of the Trust of- ficer's consultation and conferences Next to the front, and connected by @& wide opening with the main lobby of the bank, is the space for the Assistant Trust officer, with a wick- et and counterwork, similar to the teller's equipment, for the Trust De- partment’s money tlransactions. Next, toward the rear, is a new vault for the safe keeping of Trust records, This vault is built with walls, floor, and celling that will qualify for the highest rating as a burglar proof vault, so that when the bank's pres- ent burglar proof vault is filled by expansion of the bank's needs, the new trust record vault can be made burglar proof by the installation of only a new burglar proof door. At the rear of this trust portion of the building is a work room 10 house the accounting and clerical work of the Trust Department In addition to the new Trust De- partment, this remodeling affected worthwhile changes throughout the bank, except in the Board room, Posting room, and vaults, which were already adequate because of long term foresight in previous planning. These excepted rooms, however, were included in the re- decoration and renovations, so that the entire bank presents a new, clean, and modern appearance In the rearrangements, the en- trance and public lobby remain in their former locations. The private office, however, is now located im- jately to the left of the vesii- bule, on entering. Next to this, in the corner of the room over-looking the two streels is the open office where the officers are accessible to clients for matters other than pri- vate discussions. The tellers occupy the side and rear lines of the public lobby. Here a modern banking screen, contain- ing an increased number of wickets, has been installed. .This screen is of the low type that puts the min- imum barrier between customer and teller, and enhances the architec- tural aspect of the room. The sight lines are so calculated, for this new type of banking screen, that the customer has the friendliest possible contacts with the teller, and yet all tellers papers, etc., can be complete- ly out of public sight and reach, Space is provided at the custom- er's side of the wicket for writing a forgoiten endorsement, etc. The wicket itself has an open center for conversation, between side panels of glass for more open view. Behind the screen, eath wicket is equipped with built-in steel furniture con- taining cash drawers, filing trays, and cupboards, all individually de- signed for the teller's use. The in- creased number of wickets will al- low the speeding up of transactions in busy times. For the safe deposit department, new coupon booths have been pro- vidéd. These are conveniently locat- ed near the vault entrance and are al | James Holt.

It is hoped to obtain between 25 and 35 new members in the band and the number of days Mr. Breon will spend weekly in instruc here will de- pend upon the number of students in the class In compliance with a request by Governor Arthur James, the schools of Bellefonte will be closed all day, Wednesday, October 16, when all en from 21 to 35 years of age will be required go to polls to register for conscription. The pure pose of closing the schools is two- fold: to release from normal duties persons of registration age, and to lend moral support to the United States’ efforts to provide adequate national defense The Junior organization of the Bellefonte Woman's Club was grant- ed permission to use the high school gymnasium for a Hallowe'en dance October 31, and the Bellefonte High School Alumni Association was granted use of the gym for a simi. lar purpose Friday evening, October 3% The board passed a resolution ask- ing the County Commissioners and Borough Council to exonerate the school property from county and borough tax in the event a holding companv for the school builds a new high school. Normally the hold- ing company would be liable to pay- ment of taxes, although schools and school property are tax free The board moved to ask the sol- icitor for an opinion as to how the school district may include its $55.- 000 bond issue as well as a $14,000 bond issue which may be renewed in the holding corporation's fund for a new building. Because of legal requirements there is some doubt as to how the district can turn over its money to the fund expected to be provided by the holding corpora- tion total it we of the tion to the Fire Victim Succumbs Here (Continued from page one) nicely equipped for the convenience of the users. The entire floor of all spaces in the banking room and Trust De- partment, has been covered anew with battle- ship linoleum, a quiet, soft walking durable floor covering which is eas- ily kept clean. The fine marble floor formerly in the lobby was cleaned and preserved in place. The cabinet work which forms the office partitions and top screen in the banking room is of genuine American walnut wood, finished in the same manner as fine furniture The banking screen wickets and the railing at the open office are of ar- chitectural bronze, made by skilled! workers in this craft. For the or- namentation included in this work | models were made by an architec. Sprizhtley Waugh and was born at | tural sculptor, and the bronze was cast from these models. These hand- some materials, together with the redecoration of the entire banking quarters, combine to make this re.’ modeling as clean, new, and modern in appearance, as it is in its work. ing arrangements.

Members of the ground crew lowered the broken ladder immediately and aided in placing their comrade in the ambu- lance. The ground crew and olher firemen in the area were powerless to aid when the ladder began its fatal swing Undines “Carry On" The tragedy cast a pall over the remainder of the convention. The Undine marching unit, chosen by State Firemen to lead the mammoth parade, decided to carry on despite the accident, officers expressing thelr belief that “Joe would have wanted us to go on with the show." Mem. bers of DelLallos family and offic- ials of other fire companies encour- aged the marching unit to appear in the parade : Bells of the Lewistown fire houses tolled as the Undines, their flag draped in mourning, passed by Many other marching organizations carried flowers out of respect for the tragedy. Restaurants, fire houses and other public places in Lewis. town placed money containers for contributions to the deceased's be- reaved family. Most of the fire com- panies which won prizes in the pa- rade turned over the money to the Delallo family Premonition DelLallo may have had a premon- ftion of impending disaster, accord- ing to a fellow Undine with whom Joe made the journey to Lewistown that morning “IT be glad when this is over.” Joe is quoted as hav- ing said to the friend. A few mom- ents before the exhibition, DeLallo accompanied E. E. Widdowson to & | restaurant for a cup of cofive. After giving Widdowson his personal be- jongings, DeLlallo made 8&ITANge- ments to return to Bellefonte as a passenger in the ambulance. While the Mifflin County Coroner investigated the accident, the bro- Ken ladder was carefully inspected by firemen and by others, in an ef- fort to determine the cause of the!’ accident, Ladder Inspected Brought to Bellefonte the follow- ing day, the ladder was taken to a private garage. Sunday afternoon officials of the Undine company re- constructed the accident while pho- tographs were taken, The ladder ‘was then inspected minutely for (flaws, and each section was care- {fully photographed.
