ARBOR DAY FIXED BYDR.SCHAEFFER Makes Interesting Quotation in Announcing Autumnal Tree Planting Day Friday, October 27, was to-day pro claimed by Dr. Nathan C. Schaefer, State superintendent of public in struction as the autumn arbor day. Dr. Schaeft'er calls upon the teachers and pupils of the schools to observe the day in the following proclamation: "An old rule used to be that when ever a man cut down a tree he must, at any rate, plant a new one to make up for it. They have forgotten that good rule in England. In America we never observed it, and thousands of acres of glorious forest hitherto un touched by any hand but nature's have been cut down at un alarming rate. Men do not understand that all human life depends upon the green leaf, and that to cut down trees is to hack at the rope by which we are hanging." —The Children's Encyclopedia. Trees grow while we sleep and add to our wealth by day and by night. They lend beauty lo the landscape and cover the mountains of Pennsylvania to the very summits with green ver dure. For ages they have been catch ing the sunshine and converting the sunlight into fuel for man's use. They are useful for shade, for fruit and for timber. The planting and the care of trees is one of the most useful lessons which the school can impart. In order to perpetuate the time honored custom of planting trees in the Fall as well as in the Spring of the year, an autumn day has been observ ed by the schools in addition to the Arbor Days observed in the month of April. In order that this laudable cus tom may not fall into disuse, FRI - OCTOBER 27, 1916, is hereby designated as AUTUMN ARBOR DAT, and the teachers and pupils in our public schools are earnestly urged to observe the day by the planting of trees and by other appropriate exer cises. NATHAN C. SCHAEFFER, Supt. of Public Instruction. TO OPEN MISSION i ftjtcr K. Alhee, a boy preacher, who has been preaching Tn this city for forpe tune, is planning to open the Citv l nion Mission. The Mission will be used as an open house, where men and bovs can obtain clothing- or food in time "oi ne j Alhee will preach at Second and AN alnut streets, Saturday evening. JITNEY PROBLEM UP TO VOTERS fContinued iS'om First I'age] who were led in their campaign by J. J. Thorpe, vice-president of the Na -1 ional Street Electric Railway Associa tion. The Motor Club of Harrisburg form ally asked Council by resolution not to adopt the amendments. Gross Offers Resolution The resolution referring the petition to the people was offered by E. 'A. Oross, park commissioner, and second ed liy Mayor E. S. Meal^ Following tha adoption of the reso lution Vice-President Thorpe, who was on hand with some 35 or 40 strik ers and .iitney men, declared that the action of Council was "not unexpect ed" and that the "commissioners were simply following the instructions of the Harrisburg Railways Company." Mayor Meals when he learned of the statement threatened to take steps to "shut Thorpe's head." In addition to disposing of the jit ney petition Council "received and filed" a letter from Swift & Company, the Seventh street packing company, in which the company expressed its desire "to concur in a greater and beautiful Harrisburg" and stated that it will not carry out the movement to build a bridge between its two ware houses across Seventh street as au thorized by Council. No Overhead Bridge The withdrawal of Swift & Com pany from its plan to build the bridge settles finally the controversy which had been started by the Chamber of Commerce to prevent the proposed construction. Council had passed the ordinance in the face of the negative recommendation of the City Planning com mission. Council also instructed City Solici tor D. S. Seitz to proceed with the preparation of a request to the Public Service Commission for permission to erect the proposed Walnut Street bridge across the Pennsylvania tracks, following the receipt from the Plan ning Commission of the plans. Other Problems The commissioners held over for a week the request of I. W. Dill for per mission to make some minor changes on the Mulberry street bridge ap proach for greater convenience of ac cess to his business place. The com missioners will look the proposed changes over. Paxtang's Board of Health requested the city to clear away its rubbish and weeds on the Cameron parkway within the borough limits and the matter was referred to the park department. Recent con tracts let by Messrs. Lynch and Bow man for the construction of sewers in Rud,- street, Eighteenth to Nineteenth and Rudy and Nineteenth streets to Stucker Brothers and Johnson and Lyme, respectively, were approved. Ordinances passed Anally included necessary authority to build a sewer in Manada street. Nineteenth to Twen tieth. and to vacate Brown street, Fif teenth to Sixteenth streets. By Unanimous Vote Councilmanic action on the jitney petition was devoid of anything more spectacular than the calm reading of the petition by Assistant Clerk Seaman and the certification by City Clerk Miller. Of the great list of signers, all but fifteen were questionable be cause of residence or registration qualifications.

The resolution stated that the club opposed the amendments because the danger to pedestrians was increased bv the greater number of jitneys. Council was asked not only to refer the problem to the people at the polls, but to enforce the present ordinance against unlicensed jitneys. Mr. Tliorno Talks Vice-President Thorpe talked briefly to newspapermen in the Council Chamber just after the passage of the measure. Said he: "What could we expect. We didn't expect anything else but that they would do exactly what they have done; they are only controlled by the Har risburg Railways company and mere ly are carrying out the instructions of the Harrisburg Railways company and not the request of the public. The people will be on the job at the polls this Fall and there will be the damnest stir up in politics round here that you have ever seen. Some of our friends will take the walking plank." So Does Mayor Meals In commenting on Mr. Thorpe's statement Mayor Meals said: "If he doesn't shut his head we'll make him. Our oaths of office, I sup pose mean nothing in his estimation. He's not a citizen here, he's only here in the interests of the few dol lars he rets out of it. "The strike could and would have, been settled —but for him—six or eight weeks ago. On a Tuesday morn ing, I don't recollect the exact date, he would not -let his men meet the traction company except as a commit tee from the union. On the following Friday he agreed to eliminate ' the union, and so submitted this to me in writing—and I've pot the typewritten statement. It Is signed, 1 think, bv Hugh Mcl.aughUn.but it came through Thorpe. Then 'immediately after
