STEELTON NEWS ITEMS BEIDEL ENJOYS REST IN EUROPE Local Boy on Permission at Aux-les-Bains; Was at Front Long Period Douglas Beldel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Beldel. who has been In active service driving an ambulanco in France since last summer, writes that he is on "permission" and la spending the time at Aix-les-Bains. His letter in part follows: "May 4, 1918. "I know that you will all be glad to know that I am safe, well and happy, after all the disturbances here on the western front. More than that I can tell you exactly where I am—at Aix-les-Bains, on perm ission. "Aix is one of Europe's most ex clusive resorts and our government is very kind in sending us to such a grand place. I know it costs them a lot of money, but we never could spend a cleaner and more delightful week than we can here. Everything is wonderful and our government is paying for our board and lodging. Of course we are able to get rid of a lot of cash on the many excursions, but every cent is being spent for a good time seeing France as it should be seen. "Yesterday I was on an excursion trig to Mt. Revard. From there you can see Mt. Blanc, Mt. St. Bernard and many of the French,, Swiss and Italian Alps. The fcenery is won derful. You go up the mountain on a cog railroad similar to that at Pike's Peak. There is several feet of snow on the top and we had a won derful snow battle. "The Y. M. C. A. headquarters are in the casino—a magnificent large building. Here we have dancing, billiards, checkers, library, theater [ an d * ea room. We have swell dances and shows—a real treat to a man back from the front. "I almost forgot to mention about the baths—they aro famous and people come from all over the world for treatment. If there is any rheu matism in my system from sleeping in damp dugouts, I think it will soon be soaked out. "Dear people. * don't worry about me, for I am in perfect health and having a wonderfully delightful and broadening experience. Your son, "Douglas." Forty-Five Graduate From Steeiton High In the presence of relatives and friends, forty-five boys and girls last evening graduated from the local I High School. The High School au ditorium, where the exercises were held, was filled to its capacity. Last evening's stage setting was] the most attractive seen at the com-' mencement exercises here for many years. The setting was made with a bed of marguerites, the class flow er, in front of the footlights, while overhead was displayed the class numerals in a beautiful floral design. Dr. J. George Becht. executive sec retary of the State Board of Educa tion. gave the commencement ad dress. In his talk the official told of the many obstacles the students would meet in the walks of life and gave advice as to how to over come some of them. His talk was Very interesting and inspiring. Miss Elizabeth Rutherford delivered the valedictory essay under the title taken from the class motto, "*io Footsteps Backward." Francis Jo seph Yetter, salutatorlan, delivered an oration on "Why We Are in the War." The graduates will be guests at a banquet to be given by the High School Alumni Association to morrow evening. Steelworkers Pensioned After Faithful Services Steelworkers of the local steel plant are placed on a pension list after faithful service, an official of the company srfd this morning. Al though there are but a few men re tired from the service at the local plant, the men that are pensioned are those who have given their faith ful services for years and deserve this gratuity, the official said. The men, it is understood, are not re tired after working for the company a certain number of years, alone, but because of their merits. The em ployes must, of course, work with the company many years before they are placed on the retired list. Coke Shortage Exists at Local Steel Plant Because of a coke shortage, blast furnace No. 2 of the local steel plant, scheduled to be put Into use several weeks ago, is still idle. Although the shortage of fuel is not yet seri ous, officials do not care to use up such a large amount to start a fur nace. A considerable amount of coke is necessary to start a furnace and a large number of tons used in a week to keep it going. Until there is more fuel In sight, officials say. the furnace will remain idle. MEMORIAL DAY OBSBRVK1) Memorial Day was fittingly ob served in the borough to-day.

As on all former me morial observances "taps" sounding over the large burial ground signi fied that once more the few surviv ing veterans had honored their com rades and that a few more names had been added to the list of those who will not answer at the rollcall |of the living.

Businessmen Demand Mail Service Inquiry New York.—That the "demoraK ized" postal service should be In vestigated and reformed through a Congressional investigation is the contention of the Merchants Associ ation of New York, 111-advised and unnecessary attempts at economy, the association says, have caused needless losses to business. "For every penny saved," says a statement by the association, "through the curtailment of facili ties, the business community pays in dollars, protests and complaints have fallen on deaf ears and have failed to reach understandings so warped by pride of opinion and so stiffened by obstinacy as to be im pervious." According to the association, the measure of the Post Office's failure may be seen in the operation of the parcel post. "This system," it charges, "has been starved from its conception. "It is the duty of Congress to In sist upon the restoration of reasona ble efficiency In the Post Office De partment. It will fall in Its obllgfu- to the country if It neglects the necessary inquiry." Women Workers' Strike Halted at Beginning London.—The women of the cas ualty branch of the War Office have fallen out with the authorities over the question of a. war bonus. Dur ing ffie weekend there was the ele ment of a possible strike of the women clerks. The trouble arose Trom a decision rejecting an appeal for war bonus but offering instead a permanent in crease of salary. The women de manded a war bonus of 96 oents a week, but the award was an increase in salary of 48 cents a week f6r every year of service. This increase Is intended to cover all overtime, for which the girls have been, receiving 18 cents an hour. As the'staff had been In the habit of working an average of nine hours overtime a week this new scale instead of mean ing an Increase actually worked out at a induction of $1.14 a week. The staff members were indignant and threatened to refuse to work an hour overtime. They held a meet ing drew up a petition to the au thorities and talked talked and talked. But next morning when they gathered to work out the de tails for their leaving sharp at S o'clock they were informed that In the event of their allowing the work to drop behind the services of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps would be used to cover the work and the agitation died out Instantly.
