2 The Days News in Cities and Towns of Central Pennsylvania COUNCIL OUSTS OFFICER GIRVIN Methodist Minister at Waynes boro Leads in Demand For Policeman's Discharge Waynesboro. Pa., Nov. B.—State Policeman Girvin lost his job here when the Itev. Wilford P. Shriner, pastor of the Methodist Church, ap • peared before cotlnc'l and demanded that the officer be discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer. It did not mollify the parson when Councilman J. W. Croft said that perhaps it would r <t. be wise to act at once. Dr. Shriner said he pro posed to remain in the council chamber until the matter was set tled, and stay he did. On Hallowe'en night Girvin saw the red light in Center Square flash a danger signal. He answered the call and was told there was trouble at the Methodist Church. Arriving there, he found the auditorium in semi-darkness and a Hallowe'en en- tertainment going on. Girvin flashed his light among the maskers, finally coming upon Irving G. Hall, who was wearing garb closely reserm bling that worn by monks. Dr. Shriner says the policeman used rough language. Girvin admits he spoke sharply, saying in effect, "This is not the time to mock at another religion." • With seven members of his church the Methodist parson appeared be fore the council at a special meet ing on Thursday evening gnd de manded Girvin's immediate dis charge. Burgess Myers told the council the officer with whom he had talked intended no overstepping of authority, saying that if he had transgressed it was his iirst offense. He asked that he be given a hear ing and a chance. Girvin was summoned tn told ris side of the story. Four of the six councilmen voted to let him out. One of them voted in Girvins favor and another was absent. Dr. Shrlner told the councilmen the costume worn by Hall was not the costume of a priest, but rather that of a rabbi. Hail said he first had worn the costume at a cantanta. The Rev. Fr. Edward O'Flynn said yesterday the costume worn by Hall very much resembled that worn by monks of the Catholic church, men living under the rule apart from the world.

CITY NEEDS RED CROSS' WILLING AID [Continued from First Page.] 4- WHAT'S THE ANSWER? For every American soldier kill ed during the European War—and there were 49,498 of them!—eight graves are dug in Amerca each year for babies! Seven million men were killed during the feur years of war, but, in two years of those four, six mil lion men died of influenza! Thousands of babies are born in America each year, but their births cost the lives of 16,000 mothers. Half the schood children in the United States are physically de fective, but their defects can be corrected. One of every three men examined ined for military service in the United States during the war were rejected because of physical de fects. There is one agency in the Tnited States—and only one—which can ameliorate these evils. It is the American Red Cross. What's the answer! Legion, who will join in a new house to house canvass. Suppose there were another "flu" epidemic in Harrisburg— Or a fire which destroyed hundreds of homes — Or a epidemic— Or a public hall catastrophe— Or some other evil which entailed suffering. Then, presuming that Harrisburg had done its duty, the Red Cross would be in a position to help. But if Harrisburg had not done its duty 7 Then the hands of the Red Cross local chapter would be effectually tied; and epidemics might rage, or the homeless suffer. , That is why far-seeing men and women urge memberships for the Red Cross. Membership is sl. Of that sum 50 cents goes to the Nation al body. The balance stays with Harrisburg Red Cross, unless the membership was secured by an out of-town auxiliary—and in that case the auxilary retains 25 cents and Harrisburg Chapter gets the other 25 cents. "Pooh" said a man on the Square this morning. "None of those things are going to happen in Harrisburg!" "That's what the folks said in Johnstown a couple of days before the flood in 1889," said Mercer B. Tate. The people over there heard that the South Fork dam was weak, but there had been so many 'Wolf! Wolf!' alarms they paid no attention to the rumors. So to-day there is an 'Un known Plot' in the cemetery in Johns town. with 999 headstones in it: and over 3,000 people died because proper precautions were not taken. Let me assure the people of Harrisburg— and assure them in all solemnity!— that Harriszurg Red Cross Is not cry ing 'Wolf! Wolf!'" Volunteer* Are Wanted Chairman William Jennings this morning said the Red Cross needs volunteers from soldiers, who will ac company Red Cross solicitors next week. A number have already volun teered. Offers of service should be made either to Mr. Tate at headquart ers in the Library butidng, or to any of the six Roll Call colonels. These colonels are Miss Anne McCormick, Mrs. G. L. Culmerry, Mrs. F. R. Oys ter, Mrs. A. Dillinger, Mrs. Charles H. Hunter and Mrs. E. F. Doehme. The Red Cross still needs 41,000 of the 48,000 members it started out to get—and $25,000 of the $30,000 cash required.

Harrisburg River Front as Model Makes Big Vote For Improvements Harrlsburg's river front develop ment was the model held up before i the voters of the Tarentum district, at their election this week, when the question of providing a river park by bond issue was placed before the public for decision at the polls, ac cording to an announcement from the Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce this morning. The movement for a bond issue to provide a river front development similar to that along the Susque hanna in Harrisburg was fostered by the Allegheny Valley Chamber of Commerce, whose activities embrace Tarentum, Brackenridge, Natrona, and their contiguous territories. The Allegheny valley organization credits the co-operation furnished by the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce as one of the prime reasons for the success of the loan issue. The local Chamber furnished information and newspaper illustrations for the western district's newspapers in order that the popular approval of the loan could be secured. The let ter acknowledging the value of this service received from the Allegheny Valley Chamber is as follows: "We were able to use the cuts in our local papers Monday, and con tribute a considerable portion of our success at the election to the views of the Harrisburg river front im provement. "You may be interested in learn ing that while the park issue was carried, it carried by a very slender margin, and the help furnished by your organization may well be con sidered a decided factor in the re sult."
