FRIDAY EVEXTVO. HARHISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 5, 1918.
Pennsy Veterans May
Return to Regular Service
} Retired employes of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Con.pany may again
enter the service of the company for
" the period of the war if they desire
and if they can puss a physical test,
which will reveal their ability to do
the work which they will be called
upon to perfqrm. Notices to this ef
■ feet have been sent to the retired
1 'men; it is entirely optional with them
- and it is expected that some of them
• will re-enter the service.
I Most of the retired men are skill
■ ed mechanics and even though ad
, vanced in years and many of them
- physically incapable of very hard
> I work, they are more useful than the
i floaters who arc without trades and
i 'who cannot be depended upon to re
■ main on the job when employed.
Many of them at 70 are in the best
physical trim and often they have
• laid down tools with reluctance,
' often seeking other employment. The
I Altoona Mirror recently noted the
' case of a man who went to Lewis
town and secured employment in a
. shop where ordnance is being turned
! out.
Employment will not affect the
[ pensions of the veteran employes
who will receive their pension allow
ances in addition to their regular
earnings.
The Telegraph Family
Only Newspaper to Be
Represented in Line
I The Telegraph Family turned out
I'n yesterday's parade nearly 200
! strong, with E. J. Stackpole, presi
' dent of the company, in the lead and
I former Councilman Charles CL
Steiner us marshal. The Telegraph's
was the only newspaper representa
tion in the line and although its
members carried no insignia other'
than the official badges, they re- j
ceived cheer after cheer as they l
marched along.
j Two lines of eight men each led j
(the delegation, carrying each a six-j
I foot American flag, and this was
j followed by the girls of the estab-1
j lishment who marched in the form |
of a T, the first letter of the news
paper title, and the remaining 150
with a large delegation of carrier j
• boys. The girls were dressed in ]
! white and wore white hats. They i
i carried white parasols. The men!
I and boys were dressed in white hats, |
white shirts, dark trousers, blue ties
and carried flags. They wore red i
Telegraph badges, thus adding the :
touch of the national colors to their!
| costumes. Along the line the -Tele-j
j graph chorus, led by B. M. Oglesby, I
i advertising manager, sang patriotic |
songs.
Prominent in the procession was
■ the Telegraph service flag with I
; thirty-one stars.
After the parade "Father" Stack-1
i pole issued the following notice to ]
! members of the "Family":
j "I am proud of the showing which I
! the always loyal and faithful Tele- !
| graph Family made on this occasion, j
| Many of you. 1 know, denied your- \
j selves a well-earned holiday with |
I your families to do your part, but li
believe now that it is over we are j
| ull glad to have done our bit and to
I have marched shoulder to shoulder
! with our fellow-workers and our
i fellow-citizens in the greatest parade ;
i Harrisburg ever had or ever will i
| have, until that wonderful occasion \
w hen we celebrate the home-coming j
: of our victorious boys now so val- (
I iantly conducting themselves over
! there."
Big Eight-Inch Gun
Carriage and Truck
Built in This City
I The proudest man in town to-day
I i*. C. Linford Scott, superintendent of
! the Harrisburg Manufacturing and
i Boiler Company .whose big gun in
the parade yesterday was one of the
(most talked of exhibits. The com
pany had 300 men in line, with Mr.
| Scott as marshal and the whole
I thing was arranged by the men
! themselves, the committee being
j Gordon Heathcote. J. A. Armstrong,
IW. S. Campbell, Benjamin Tschop.
I Jacob Reisch, Charles Rowe, Ed.
| Morrow, John l.ingle, William J.
i Lyme and T. E. Smith. They had
complete charge of
and many of the employes who en
tered heartily into the arrangements,
offered valuable suggestions.
The company is building for the
United States government many of
the carriages for the heavier pieces
of artillery now being sent to France
and the eight-inch gun with its steel
carriage which attracted so much
attention yesterday was built at the
i plant. All Central Pennsylvania was
I searched for a truck heavy enough
I to Garry the gigantic load, hut none
I could be found and then, just to
' demonstrate their resourcefulness,
' the employes got together and built
| a truck of their own sufficiently
heavy to carry the thousands of
j pounds imposed upon it. Also, it was
I drawn by a tractor built in Harris
| burg, so that the whole imposing ex
hibit consisted of Harrisburg prod-
I ucts. As a sample of the kind of
i weapons being sent abroad to pound
the German line it was a big object
lesson to the thousands of paraders
and well worth all the effort it cost.
The company had one of the best
bands in line and the. marchers were
handsomely costumed. They received
many plaudits along the line and
! many compliments to-day.

\EW STANDBVS
"Hail. Hall, the Gang's All Here,"
the standby of bands in parades al
most from time immemorial, at least
during time within the memory of
the average Harrisburger, appears to
have been relegated to the scrap
heap as "nonessential," Time was
when this selection made up a large
part of the marches of hands In pa
rade line, but yesterday, with u new
spirit pervading the entire celebra
tion, the old standby was superseded
by "Keep the Home Fires Burning,"
"Over There," "Where Do We Go
Prom Here?" and other similar songs
born of these tumultuous times.
