GOOD CROWD ATTENDS HASTINGS CARD PARTY Quite a number of Pattonites were in attendance at the cinch and bridge party held under the auspices of the K. of C, and the C.

Honors at bridge “were awarded to Mrs Earl Sharbaugh, Mrs. Charles Overberger, Dr. Charles Overberger, and Bert Dietrick, and at cinch to Miss Elizabeth Little, Mrs. I. T. Kline A. J. Lantzy and Ben Waltz. Excep- tionally fine weather brought on a fine attendance. Misses Mary and Barbara Overber- ger were recent Johnstown callers.

Mapoles, editor of the Por- H In the drive, funds for this worthy cause are being raised by selling mem- berships in the Tiny Tim Club, each town: having a specified quota. The membership fees are $1.00 for a year- ly subscription, and $20.00 for a life membership. “And what is the Tiny Tim Club?” you ask. In the Memorial hospital at Johnstown is a ward devoted to orth- opaedic work in which wonderful work has already been done. This ward was appropriately furnished by the Johns- town Kiwanis club and much credit is due them for their philathrophy. The board of Education of Johnstown has installed therein a branch of the pub- lic school system, the faculty consist- ing of a grade teacher and a high sch- ool teacher. The playground was pla- ced on the roof of the hospital by the Recreation Commission of Johnstown. The orthopaedic work in this ward is supervised by Dr. C. E. Hannon, as- sisted by Dr. L. H. Mayer, and all pro- fessional services by these physicians is done free gratis. In these days of the “drive eternal,” smoe of us refuse to give while others give reluctantly, but the object in view in this case is one which will appeal to each and everyone. The wistful helplessness and appealing resigna- tion of a litle Tiny Tim is such that it must be a hard heart indeed that will refuse to be a “Scrooge” or a Big Tim to these little unfortunates. In starting the drive in each town great assistance has been given by the Johnstown Kiwanis Club in send- ing capable and efficient speakers to the meetings heid for that purpose. These representative Kiwanians have travelled to the northern section of the county at more or less inconvenience, with no expectation of any reward or remuneration, but with the idea of as- sisting in a praiseworthy object. For this consideration and co-operation, the Kiwanians of northern Cambria are very grateful to the Johnstown club. Individually specific credit is due Karl Gougeon, of the Johnstown Ki- wanis club, through whose particular effort the representative Kiwanians appeared at the Northern Cambria meetings. During the past week, the various towns starting the drive have been as- sisted by the following speakers, all of Johnstown: Monday evening, How- ard Stull, Esq., spoke at the Kiwanis meeting held at the Brandon hotel, in Spangler, and later in the public hall at Carrolltown; Tuesday, Dr. Earl Hartley in the theatre and in St. Pa- trick’s hall at Spangler; Wednesday. r. L. K. Cleaver, in the theatre at Hastings; Friday, George Griffith in the basment of the Presbyterian chur- ch, Barnesboro, and Saturday, Walter Davis, in the Grand theatre, Patton. Work is also under way in St. Bene- dict, Bakerton, Cherry Tree and Maz- stellar. This drive for funds is being con- ducted by the under-privileged child committee of the Northern Cambria Kiwanis Club, those in charge being as follows: George Clark of Hastings, chairman; Barnesboro, Richard Scol- lon; Cherry Tree Thos. Monroe, Mar- stellar Jonathan Nicholson, Spangler J. Bert Holsopple, Bakerton, Fred B. Buck; St. Benedict John E. Kauffelt, Carrolltown J. Edw. Stevens, Patton . 0. Winslow and Hastings W. H. Allport. In addition the entire mem- bership of the Northern Cambria Ki. wanis club is assisting in the drive. Anyone wishing information regar- ding the admission: of ,crippled chil- dren into the hospital, or anyone knowing of crippled cases in his or vicinity should consult or get in touch with the Kiwanian named as the com- mittee in his community. Considerab- le credit is due Miss Nell Murphy, of Carrolltown, who is the Penngylva- nia state nurse for this vicinity, for her valuable assistance in verifying and checking up on crippled eases. About ten crippled boys and girls of Northern Cambria have already been admitted to the Johnstown institution and many more need assistance. Lack of funds, however, has been detrimen- tal to this charitable work. The Tiny Tim Club has at present a membership of 75 crippled boys and girls, who have been given a new le- ase on life. Just as Dickens’ Tiny Tif needed Scrooge, so do these present day unfortunates need you. Will you respond ? Surely it is little enough the Tiny Tims are asking and charity in so worthy a cause will be repaid a thousand fold. Truly fitting words ap- plicable to the little unfortunates, are these by Goldsmith: “Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long.” Bertha Kingston of Indiana is the men’s association at the Grand theatre next Monday evening. guest of Mr. and Mrs. P.
