This vault is built with walls, floor, and ceiling 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 0 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- -rpediately to the left of the vesti- 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, each 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 bootbs have been pro- vided. These are conveniently locat- ed near the vault entrance and are nicely equipped for the convenience of the users. The entire floor of all spaces in the banking room and Trust De- partment, except the public lobby, | 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 marmer 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 ‘ Beloit, Mich, on January 1, 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.

Under this plan the cost to the school district is expected to be negligible As new players become familiar with their instruments they will be absorbed into the band, but thelr instruction will continue throughout the school year. There will be no additional charge for this instruc- tion, the 8750 fee covering all charges to the student. 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 instruction 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 men from 21 to 35 vears of age will be required to go to the polls to register for conscription. The pur- 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 25 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 company 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. > Fire Victim Succumbs Here (Continued from page one) rousing his wife told her to follow, After Hanley carried the child downstairs and placed her on the grass outside he discovered that his wife had not come out of the house, Re‘urning to the building he found | her at the head of the steps, her nightelothing badly charred. She was rushed to the hospital, where hopes were held for her recovery until shortly before death ensued. Centre County Coroner Charles Sheckler, of Milesburg, conducted an investigation, but deemed an in- | quest Unnecessary. He certified that death had been accidental. The fire at the Hanley home was confined to the living room. Eleanor Waugh Hanley was a Karl T and Emma | daughter of 1914. making her age at time of death 28 years, 9 months and 3 days. Sur- | viving are her parents her husband, one daughter, and a brother, Spmtios M. Waugh, of Princeton, N. Funeral services were held in Washington, D.

It seemed llk¢ minutes passed and the return swing firemen ex- pected did not develop. Instead the ladder continued down. Joe appear- ed not to be alarmed, apparently feeling that the ladder would spring back into a vertical position. But the drop continued until the upper part of the ladder was almost hori- zontal, with most of the bend just above the first section Rail Snaps “Suddenly,” the witness contin- ued, “the rail on the outer side of the curve gave way under the strain The upper half of the ladder, cut from its main support, plunged 35 feet to the ground with DeLallo still clinging to the rungs “His head struck violently and he was still,” the eyewitness conclud- ed After the rall snapped the upper section of the ladder was supported anly by the inner rail which did nothing except to keep that end of the ladder from falling.

Crowd Is Stunned In the throng of spectators watch. ing the exhibition Delallo’s wife, While the ladder was falling and after the crash, spectators stunned. stood horror-stricken for a moment before realizing fully what had happened. Members of the ground crew lowered the broken ladder immediately and aided in placing their comrade in the ambu- lance. The ground crew and olber firemen in the areas 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 their belief that “Joe would have wanted us to go on with the show.” Mem- bers of Delallos family atid offic- jals 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- ition of impending disaster accord- jing to a fellow Undine ¥ith whom Joe made the journey to Lewistown that morning. “I'll be glad when this is over,” Joe is quoted as hav- ing sald to the friend. A few mom- ents before the exhibition, DeLallo ‘accompanied E. E. Widdowson to | restaurant for a cup of coffee. After | giving Widdowson his personal be- i jongings, DeLallo made 8aITAnge- 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.
