But after talking about $10,000, pos- sibly his little would mean a lot to the poor citizens of Larimer Township. He states that the road between the railroads would be very dangerous for horses, but that teams could travel the present route. He must think that the horses in Larimer Township have wings for how could they get on the present route if the bridge is removed. He also states that the crossing at Slabtown may meet with opposition from the Highway Depart- ment and the B. & 0. R. R. Co. We have been informed that there is no opposition from the State Highway Department or the B. & 0. R.

He speaks of doctors who refused to go into Larimer town- ship on account of the condition of the roads, but still he is making us try to take the road away from some altogether and still they will have to pay tax to help build this road. He lives very handy to the doctors of- fice in Meyersdale so he has no kick coming. As for Larimer township we can all wait 2 or 3 minutes longer on the doctor while he crosses that bad crossing and climbs that terrible hill to get to them. As to that terrible crossing at Keystone anyone can see a train coming three fourths of a mile away before he drives on the track which is something which can- not be done at other crossings.

He also speaks of connecting links and short routes which would bring traffic into Larimer township as a body has if they are left alone they can handle this situation very nicely when the time comes, as we have now within the township all plans made to take Larimer Township. This would com- pel Larimer Township to bear the ex- pense of upkeep for this traffic. If the road is built over the old route, this traffic could use the road just the same and so could Larimer for ir Larimer township helps to build it the citizens of that township should be able to use it too as much as the care of this road problem just as soon as the grant from the State Highway Department is forthcoming. Since the article of a short time ago in the Meyersdale Commercial there has come to Larimer township much en- couragement from outside sources in its fight for what it thinks is just and right and for this we are thankful for outside iraffic.

One of Mr. Phillips friends gave out the information that Mey- ersdale was not going to build this road and was not going to contribute to its building. Mr. Phillips speaks of a Larimer Township Supervisor asking the Meyersdale Chamber of Commerce for aid in getting the road between the railroads but he does not disclose the fact that this supervisor was shown at the polls that this was not the wish of the citizens of Lari- mer Township. But still there are some who are clamoring about the af- fairs of Larimer Township. If Lari- mer Township is left alone to work out its own affairs there will be pro- gress made as no one is able to tend to ones own business than ones own it makes us feel that outsiders who are not interested are better able to see this matter from all sides and it sure helps to receive this encourage- ment, and from worthwhile sources for through selfish motives Larimer ALVIN B.

FORMER MEYERSDALE WOMAN IS SUICIDE The sad news of the death of Mrs. Bessie Deist, wife of George Deist, a native of Meyersdale, was received by the latter’s sister, Mrs. William Hady. The unfortunate woman, who was in ill health, committed suicide by jump- ing off a bridge into the Ohio River at Steubenville, O. She was the second wife of Mr. Deist and had been an in- valid for two years. While her husband was at work in a steel mill, Mrs. Deist sent the nurse, | who was in care of her, on an errand | to a store. She then called a taxi and { ordered the driver to take her to the | Fort Steuben bridge across the Ohio | River, north of the city. Arriving at | the middle of the bridge, she alighted, ' paid her fare and dismissed the taxi , and before the driver could stop her | she climbed the railing of the bridge i and jumped to her death in the river. The taxi driver reported the tragedy Timely Topics From the Game Commission Change Name of Bureau; Appoint New Chief. At a recent meeting the Board of Game Commissioners changed the name of the Bureau of Vermin Con- trol to the Bureau of Predatory Ani- mals. For some years various state and national conservation associations have waged warfare against the use of the word “vermin” as applied to game administration, and it. was only this year that the American Game Conference passed a resolution out- lawing this word and adopting in its stead the name “predatory cnimals.” Pennsylvania in order to keep step with all new conservation develop- ments, has also adopted the new name. At the same time the Board made the above change they appointed Mr. Hugh H. Groninger, of Port Royal, Chief of the Bureau. Mr. Groninger had been temporarily fulfilling the du- ties as Chief ever since the vacancy was created by the appointment of the former Chief, Mr. John J. Slaut- Mr. Harry VanCleve, Expert Trap- Groninger as Assistant Chief of the Bureau. Mr. H. J. Sines, Division Supervis- or, Division “I”, was appointed Sup- erintendent of Game Farms with headquarters at the Jordan State Game Farm, R. D. 4, New Castle, Pa. Mr. W. L. Wright, District Game Protector, Westmoreland County, was appointed to Division Supervisor, Division “I”, succeeding H. J. Sines. Mr. Wright’s headquarters will be at Trauger, Pa. Formal Application for Pheasant Eggs All persons desiring Ringneck Pheasant. eggs this summer from either of the two State Game Farms, recently acquired by the Board of Game Commissioners, must make for- mal application on regular blanks supplied by the Commission. Thes2 application blanks can be secured either at the offices of the Board at Harrisburg or from the various Coun- ty Game Protectors. Full instructions governing the hatching will be furnished with each shipment of eggs. How to. Secure Permits for Protected Birds or Animals Found Dead Every year there are hundreds of protected birds found dead through- out Pennsylvania. Many are killed by flying into telephone wires or against windows of large buildings during their migration fights. Others are killed by flging against windshields of automobiles, and still more are otherwise accidentaiy kill- ed. The Board of Game Commissioners issues annually to persons within the Commonwealth as many as 1,000 per- mits to have such protected birds mounted for educational and scientific purposes. And they are very glad to be of such servics to the general pub- lic. But the public, too, can be of great help to representatives of the Board of Game Commissioners when they come into possession, legally, of specimens which they desire to have mounted. Such help can be rendered in this manner: When you find a pro- tected specimen of animal or bird which you wish to have mounted, send it immediately to the taxidermist who is to prepare it so as to prevent its spoiling during the interim your per- mit is being requested. Then, rather than filing your application for a per- mit direct with the Game Commission at Harrisburg, which will mean that it will have to be reforwarded to your local Game Protector for approval, you can save considerable time by first securing approval from your County Game Protector. Surely if in your mind the specimen is worth be- ing mounted, you should be only too glad not only help save his time, but to insure the receipt of your permit more quickly. The Board of Game Commissioners hopes the public will do their best to cooperate in this mat- ter. Federal Permits Necessary for Migratory Birds In conjunction with all state per- mits issued for the mounting of pro- tected migratory birds a Federal per- mit must also be had. These can be secured by making application direct to the Bureau of Biological Survey, ‘Washington, D. C.

Through a communication from D. Compton, Salisbury, Pa., who is a dele- gate from Somerset Classis to the Meet- ing of General Synod of the Reformed Church in session at Indianapolis, Ind., this paper learns of the recent action of that body relating to union of the Re- formed Church with the United Breth- ren. in Christ and the Evangelical Synod of North America. Committee of 21 persons have been appointed with pewer to act on the mat- ter of union, which when favorably acted upon by the several Classes, will go back to General Synod for final action. The text of the resolution passed by the General Synod of the Reformed Church is as follows: (1) This General Synod is in hearty accord (a) with the General Conference of the United Brethren in Christ regard- ing favorably the basis of Union as an initial step for the ultimate Union of the three Churches. (b) That such un- ion should not be consummated with un- due haste and only after careful study of all the issues involved and by free and intelligent action of the members and Jjudicatories of the several Churches. (2) That this General Synod also GENERAL SYNOD OF REFORMED CHURCH PAVES WAY FOR UNION OF CHURCHES When Tin Meets Tin Three Fords Collide Three Ford cars, a roadster, a coupe, and a sedan, figured in a bad mash-up on the curve at the old brewery at Mey- injured but the trio of Fords were put out of commission.

Before the mix-up could be straightened out, a coupe driven by Clyde Walker, of Berlin, appeared and also collided with the Garlitz car. Each of the three cars suffered the loss of a wheel, and the glass in the Ford sedan was badly shattered. Fenders, running boards ‘and other parts of the several cars were badly bent and twisted. The Walker car was towed back to Somerset and the other two cars were taken to Meyersdale garages for repairs.

(3) That this General Synod, follow- ing the action of the General Conference of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the proposal of the Chair- man of the Committee of the Evangeli- cal Synod of North America, appoint a Committee of 21 persons as follows: Chairman and Convener, the President of the General Synod, 7 pastors and 7 elders from each of the 7 Synods, one additional pastor and elder for each of the three Synods having the largest nu- merical membership; namely, the East. ern, the Ohio, and the Potomac Synod. (4) That this General Synod author- izes this committee of 21 to act upon any proposals by the Commission on Closer Relations, relating to Union with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, or the Evangelical Synod of North America, or of both, and that when such proposals are approved by two-thirds tude toward union of the Evangelical EEE DO NOT FAIL TO SEE “The4ass of Limerick Town” A Comic Operetia IN 2 BIG ACTS 715—Cast of —75 MONDAY and TUESDAY .
