CEMETERY ROAD IN POOR SHAPE Stcclton Residents Complain ing About Miserable Con dition of Thoroughfare Residents of the borough are com plaining about the miserable condi tion of a stretch of road between th > borough limits and the Baldwin cemetery. This road is the only one leading to cemetery and is used mostly by automobiles, almost ex clusively for funerals. It is understood that the road is under the jurisdiction of the super visors of Swatara township and that r.o repairs have been made on this stretch of highway for a long time. It is a section of a "back road" to Oberlin which has not been used for some years, residents say, because it is In such poor shape that it is not passable. Local residents are not concerned about the road beyond the cemetery entrance but feel that some action should be taken by authorities to make repairs to the road leading into the cemetery. The stretch of road is about three-fourths of a mile long and is considered almost impassable. Even though it is in this condition, residents say, they are compelled to use it when a funeral is held. Recently during the extremely wet weather the road was in such condi tion that automobile drivers using the road when a funeral was held declare it was almost impossible to keep the machines in the road and furthermore the thoroughfare was practically impassable. business men to-day declared their intentions to see that the road is put into good condition and will use every means available to accom plish their ends.

McGin nes, superintendent of the borough schools and known throughout the State through his connections with State educational societies for years, held in the First Presbyterian Church this afternoon, was largely attended.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RAILROAD NEWS i 1 RE-ELECT THOMAS ißailroads Show Activity; Coal trains Are Many 11/ ilijLilfjS Freight activity on railroads is w mvuuAui again in evidence, and if the motive power holds out, officials look for record-breaking shipments between now and January 1. On the Pennsy yesterday it was almost one con tinuous run of soft coal trains east. The Heading picked up, having been holding to about 500 cars a day. Now it looks like twice as many each day. Considering the cold weather engines have been holding their own. If the temperature does not get down below zero, and good coal is furnished for all engines, en gineers and iiremen say there will be good results. The restoration of the trains that had been annulled because of the coal shortage as well as that of the parlor car service, was hailed with delight to-day by the patrons of the Pennsylvania railroad. As each of the restored trains left the station during the dny there V'cre many people availing themselves of the service. The demand for parlor car ac commodations is extraordinary, as the traffic grows heavier with the approach of the holiday season. During the present week many of the schools over the country will close down for the' holidays and this will have a tendency to crowd the trains in all directions.
