The affair will inaugurate the ef- fort to raist this district's portion of the $200,000 endowment fund for the institution. Mr. Charles M. Schwab, general campaign chairman, will be the principal speaker, Judge John H. McCann will be toastmaster, and a number of other prominent persons vill occupy the speakers’ table. A feature of the program will be sing- ing by the College Glee Club. More than 90 local men have been invited to the dinner and indications are that Patton will be represented by a good delegation, Dr. P. J. Kelly is the chairman of Patton The Ebensburg meeting is one of a eries of four to be held in different parts of Pennsylvania. The first was held last Wednesday at the Bellevue- Stratford hotel in Philadelphia. Lead- ing men from all parts of the Phila- delphia district attended and among the guests were “Ty” Cobb and “Tris” Speaker of the “Athletics.” In his address Mr. Schwab pointed out that St. Francis’ College is now confronted with the biggest opportun- ity in its history. Persons and founda- ions are willing to aid the school, but before taking action request that the institution be cleared of debt. It is for this purpose that the en- | dowment, drive is being conducted. When the $200,000 objective is reached he said, a building program will be commenced that will make St. Fran- cis one of the best equipped small colleges in the United States. In expending the college, Mr. Sch- vab said, it is not intended to make it a “big school.” The advantage of close personal asociation between in- | structors and students possible only in the small college, will be retained and St. Francis will continue her prece- dent of providing education of high quality at low cost. Present plans call for the addition of class room, science, library, and dor- mitory units to the plants and for ex- tensive remodeling of the groups. Ar- chitecture and landscaping will be in keeping with the beautiful location of the school. NAMES LLOYD. ... Governor John S. Fisher has named Walter J.

FORESTERS ARE BUSY IMPROVING TRAILS State forest district employees are engaged on road and trail work, and good progress has been made on the improvement of the 2800 miles of for- est trails and 2200 miles of forest roads according to a statement issued by Secretary Charles E. Dorworth, of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters. During the past month, six dump trucks, three caterpillar cruiser trucks, and four road graders have heen pur- chased, in addition to the equipment already on hand. The forest roads and trails are used extensively by tourists, fishermen and recreationists, as they open up some of the remote forest ar- eas of the state. Practically all of the State Forest roads can be used by au- tos, and when not wide enough for two cars to pass, the roads have been widened at intervals so as to facili- tate passing. COMPANI HELP IN THE PLANTING OF SEEDLINGS Thirty-one coal mining companies planted 1,033,000 forest trees this spring which were supplied from the State Forest Tree Nurseries of the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters. These plantings will cov- er an area of more than than 1000 acres and will aid materially in in- suring a future timber supply for the mining operations, Forty-five water companies planted a total of 1,200,000 forest trees on land owned for watershed purposes.

Farmers in this Commonwealth in 1927 used approximately 385,540 tons of commercial fertilizer, representing an expenditure of more than $10,000,000, according to estimates made by the bu- reau of statistics, Pennsylvania De- partment of Agriculture. Lancaster leads all counties with 34,260 tons used and valued at $976.410. Cameron trails all counties with only 130 tons pur- chased and $3440 expended. Taking the Commonwealth as a whole, over 2000 more tons of fertili- zer were used, and a slighlty larger per- centage of the farmers used it in 1927 than in 1926. In 1927, eighty-nine Cambria coun- ty farmers used 6,210 tons of fertilizer for which they expended $165,190.

RESTORE TELEPHONE SERVICE IN FORESTS After one of the most serious and widespread disruptions of service in history, the net work of telephone wires which help protect the state for- ests have been repaired. When the snow storms of late April swept the state, foresters joined the thousands of commercial repairmen who worked for weeks to restore tele- phone service. Unlike commercial tele- phone service, many of those in the state forests are necessarily in places difficult of access. As the snow came in the period known to be the most dangerous for forest fires repairs were hurried with more than the usual speed. REVENUE OF THI STATE MAY REACH THE RECORD Harrisburg—Revenue from all sources collected by the Commonwealth is ex- pected to exceed $165.000,000 during the present fiscal year which ends on May 31.

PLANS FOR ANNUAL SANITARY SURVEYS The state health department, throu- gh its bureau of engineering, reports that plans have been made for the annual sanitary survey of the second class townships within the Common- wealth. This work will be conducted by the local state health officers and will involve a house to house inspection of sanitary facilities as well as the elim- ination of any nuisances that might be discovered upon the premises. More than 50,000 porperties will be reviewed and according to the figures of last year 10 per cent of them will call for one or more corrections.
