Commissary Department
Ready at Middletown
One-half of section one, one-sixth
of the new commissary department,
at the new Government ordnance
depot, Middletown. was put into use
for the first time this morning when
400 men took their breakfast there.
Work on the other departments is be
ing swiftly pushed forward bv of
ficials, and the other half of section
one will be opened next week.
Each section of the new commissary
department, of which there are three
in number, is 150 feet long and seventy
feet wide. In the center of each of
these, dividing them in half, is a
model kitchen, 70x70 feet. Entrance
to the commissary department is
gained by employes only by showing
employes' badges by passing through
a turnstile.
The new kitchens are models in ef
ficiency, so there will be no delay in
feeding the men. All are equipped
with the latest labor-saving devices,
including dishwashing machines, po
tato-peeling machines, etc. Each is
of the highest grade ,as regards sani
tary conditions and neatness.

BEIDLEMAN GAINS,
WORKERS REPORT
Booster Committee Encour
aged After Meeting at West
End Republican Club
The Dauphin County Republican
Booster Committee, organized pri
marily in the interest of the candi
dacy of Senator E. E. Beidleman for
Lieutenant Governor, met last even
ing in the assembly room of the
West End Republican Club and re
ceived reports from practically every
district in the county.
The members of the committee
were unanimous in expressing the
belief that Senator Beidleman will
have a big majority in both city and
county. It was also said that the
committeemen had found Senator
Sproul and his associates on the pri>-
rnary ticket very strong in this dis
trict.
"Scott will make a very poor
showing here," said Andrew Red
mond, the chairman, after the meet
ing. "He is not known locally and
those who do know him look upon
him as a representative of factional
ism in party politics. Senator Beidle
man is strong and growing more
so every day. The reports received
at the meeting were most encourag
ing."

Being Made Up
Train schedules for the movement
of the 17.62:5 white men called to en

| to start May 29 will not be finished
I until the end of the week. Whether
j these movements will be conducted
i on Memorial Day is not known,
i The blanks for the registration of
I men who have become twenty-one
since last June have been sent to
| local districts and the date for the
j registration will be announced soon.
