MUSIC CLUB HOLDS
MEETING MONDAY
One of Most Enjoyable in the
Organization’s History.
AT THE GOOD RESIDENCE.
Wag Held on January 17th and Com-
prised Numbers by Both Hay.
den and Beethoven.
The most enjoyable meeting in the
history of the Patton Music Club was
held on January 17, at the home of
Mrs. R. E. Good.
The program consisted of music by
Hayden and Beethoven. Mrs. Rishell
played one of Hayden’s Sonatas.
The Beethoven selections proved to
be records of his ninth symphony, and
is the first symphony to be record-
ed in its entirety. The recording was
done in England and the musicians
were the Queen’s orchestra.
Mrs. Good told of the personality
and work of each composer, and, by
playing on the piano, the different
themes used in the symphony, greatly
illuminated the complexity of the
work.
When the program was completed
a very delicious luncheon was ser-
ved.
Mrs. Good deserved a vote of thanks
from the club and its guests for a
thoroughly enjovable evening.

ODD FELLOWS MEET
Have Great Celebration; Many
In Attendance
One of the most unique events of
the winter months occurred last Thu-
rsday evening, January 13th; in the
Odd Fellows Hall, which was attend-
ed by many members of the order
from this vicinity. The large assem-
blage was in honor of the incoming
class of candidates and also in com-
memoration of the birthday anniver-
sary of Thomas Wildey, the founder
of Odd Fellowship in the United
States. Many visitors, including the
District Deputy of Cambria County
District number 2 were present, and
a roll call of the lodges present was
answered by members of Ebensburg
Lodge, Blicklick Lodge 1088 of Nant-
v-Glo; Houtzdale Lodge; Ashcroft
Lodge 1020 of Hawk Run; Dixonvil-
le Lodge; and Patton Lodge 1089.
The business meeting commenced
at 8:00 P. M. in charge of Homer J.
Larimer; N. G. and Leonard Kusner,
V. G. After the completion of the re-
gular business the degree team of Pat-
ton Lodge took charge of the meeting
and conferred the Initiatory Degree
upon Leonard G. Corby of Patton and
Louis Johnman jr. of Hastings. The
work of the Degree, especially the
ritualistic work as exemplified by the
rarious members of the team brought
forth much applause from the assem-
blage. A neat floor drill them com-
pleted the degree work for the even-
ing after which the lodge was closed
and turned over to the Entertain-
ment committee.
A most delicious
thing extraordinary and more relish-
ing than the usual club luncheons, was
then served by the luncheon Commit-
tee. Pickles and olives; sandwiches of
countless varieties; dainty cakes of
several sorts; fruit salad and jello
with flavored wipped cream; individ-
ual bricks of Penn Cress ice cream;
after dinner mints; chocalate hershey
luncheon, some-
buds; cigars and cigarettes; and old
fashioned coffee were on the bill of
fare. Never before in the history of
the local Lodge had such a 'uncheon
been served and the quantity as well
as the quality of the menu indicated
a vast amount of preparation by this
committee. A vote of thanks were giv-
en to the “chefs” of the evening.
Impromptu speeches were then of-
fered by different members of the or-
der, speaking on the lessons of Odd
Fellowship and the great expansion
of this order in the world today. The
memory of Thomas Wildey, the found-
er of the I. O. O. F., was also honored
in the speech of Pa District Deputy,
William Nimmo. This great order
which now totals close unto three mil-
lion members is only an infant among
fraternal organization; but ranks for-
most among them. The age limit is
now eighteen years of age and more
young men are joining this order than
ever before in the annals of Qdd Fel-
lowship. Patton Lodge has alone in-
creased its own membership 20 per-
cent in the past five weeks and be~
fore the winter months are past it wil
be much higher. Patton Lodge now
leads District number 2 of Cambria
County in this respect. The social and
fraternal activities derived from Odd
fellowship are many and no better in-
vestment of this nature can be made
by a prospective candidate, eighteen
or over.
The lodge work is interesting
and the meeting are attended by large
gatherings. A degree Team is now in
vogue and this alone tends to make
the Local Lodge one of the foremost
of any lodges in this region.
Several other items on the entain-
ment of the evenings were a vocal so-
lo by Thomas Wardlow of Blicklick
Lodge who is a native of Scotland.
This was well receved by the audience.
Many others gave a few minutes talk
on the subject of the meeting and then
at a very late hour the members de-
parted for their respective homes, car-
rying with them many thoughts of the
most enjoyable evening of pleasure,
business and entertainment that Pat-
ton Lodge has ever had.
Listed among the out of town guests
were; William Nimmo, Robert Nim-
mo; Thomas Wardlow, and William
Butterworth of Nant-y-Glo; Byron
Davis; M. R. Heath; Stanley Davis;
R. C. Getings; Myles Evans and Les-
ter Larimer, of Ebensburg; George
Heuther, Bert Elden, W. M. Hunter
and John Johnman, of Hastings; Har-
ry Moore, Charles Stickler, Howard
Davison, William Symons Sr., William
Symons Jr., all of St. Benedict; Wal-
ter Nicholson and Joseph Chapman,
of Barnesboro; and Walter Myers of
Dixonville. Together with the many
members of Patton Lodge who were in
attendance eighty some Odd Fellows
were present at the celebration.
This Thursday evening the first de-
gree will be exemplified by the degree
team upon a class of candidates from
Cherrytree Lodge No. 417, as well as
from Patton Lodge. A very large
turn out is expected and it will be
worth the attendance of any Odd Fel-
low in seeing this splendid degree con-
ferred. Come early and get a good
seat as we expect to be crowded.

WHAT DOCTORS MUST DO
IN PNEUMONIA CASES
Pneumonia has grown to be such a
devastating disease that the state de-
partment of health has sent out the
following orders to the doctors of the
Commonwealth, as follows:
Dear Doctor: Pneumonia in its sev-
eral forms has always been, and con-
tinues to be, one of the most import-
ant causes of death. Reduction of the
mortality from this disease may be
difficult, but the prevention of second-
ary cases would seem to be largely
possible and will contribute definitely
to the desired end.
For the purpose, therefore, of min-
imizing contact with ses of pneu-
monia and thereby diminishing op-
portunity for the Jiechi of others,
the Advisory Health Board of the
Pennsvlvania Bet: Boa of Health
adopted regulations on December 21,
1926, requiring
1.—That all cases of pneumonia, of
whatever form, shall be reported, the
diagnosis to be qualified by using the
forms “lobar,” “broncho,” “hypostat-
> (or other) as the case may be.
—That all cases of pneumonia
shall be isolated with only the neces-
sary attendant, until recovery or de-
ath.
We are confident that this attempt
to lessen the incidence of pneumonia
will meet with your entire approval,
and hope that we will have vour full-
est co-operation in the reporting of
cases, their isolation. and the instrue-
tion of those concerned in the wisdom
of avoiding nunecessary visits to the
patient either by members of the fa-
mily or others. Very truly C.
