MUSSER THE THE ELECTION The United States, Pennsyl- vania and Cambira County are normally Republican. The inter- ests of the country, state and county, have been best promot- ed by adhering to the Republi- can policies of protection and economy. Believing in party or- ganiaztion, we ask all Republi- cans to support the entire Re- publican ticket. The local candi- dates of the Republican party are capable of filling the offices to which they aspire, and are worthy of their party's support. Heading the local ticket is J. Russell Leech, candidate for Congress from the 20th district, compirsing Cambria county. He was nominated two years ago after a hard fought primary, be- ing ably supported by his com- ardes of the World War, and the nwas elected over his Dem- ocratic opponent by one of the largest maorities returned for a tepublican candidate in Cambria County. During his term of of- fice representing Cambria coun- ty at Washington, he was so satisfactory that there was no opposition to him in the spring primaries this year. Mr. Leech is, therefore, the i unanimous choice of the Republicans of the County and deserves their sup- port at the General Election. Jay R. Sheesley, the candidate for State Senator, is making his first campaign for public office and during the primaries last spirng he conducted a vigorous and energetic campaign which marked him as a young man of ability and agressiveness.” Mr. Sheesley was one of the first Johnstown young men to land in France during the World War, and had an excellent record with combatant troops for over a year. Since the war he has been actively engaged in business in the city of Johnstown. It is im- portant that Cambria County be represented by Republicans in the upper house at Harrisburg as well as at Washington. Two of the Republican candi- dates for Representative in the General Assembly from the see ond district of Cambria county, Edmund James and Milton Spen- cer, have had years of experiesze in that legislative body. They have both been good, staunch Republicans and deserve the continued support of their con- stitutents. The third member from the second district is John RE. Mu ser, a successful merchant of Barnesboro, who by age and ex- peirence, and his knowledge of Cambria County affairs is pe- culiarly fitted to represent the county. WHERE CREDIT IS DUE The Patton Volunteer Fire Company has just completed a canvas of the town in search of fire hazards; they have created interest in fire prevention am- ong our citizens and in the pub- lic schools; they are perhaps the only company of volunteer fire- men in this section of the state who observed Fire Prevention week to its fullest extent. The good work of the Patton firemen may not be noticed by our town to have an active and energetic fire department. We have noticed through the years that the Patton Fire Company has always been active. In most of the other towns hereabouts, companies have flourished by spelis, then lapsed into decadence so far as organization was con- cerned, form time to time. Patton can be proud of her fire company. The recent good work conducted in connection with Fire Prevention Week is but one of many of the enter- prises the company conducts in 1 year's time, for the good of our community. “DOC’S DERBY.” Perhaps one of the most awe- inspiring sights that we have seen for some time is Dr. P. J. Kelly, war-horse of Democracy in Cambria County, displaying his new “Brown Derby.” We must say that the top piece 18 becoming. Whether “Doc” will be in style or not after next Tuesday, remains to be seen. HUNTERS, BE CAREFUL. Reports from the entire state already indicate too much care- lessness by hunters in the few days of the present open sea- son, and with opening of the rabbit season, today, matters may become worse. John B. Tru- man, executive secretary of the ‘(Game Commission urges hunters to take every precaution to pre- vent injuring themselves or the companions with them. Special care should be exercis- ed in shooting in the woods at the present time, he said, be- jecause few leaves have (faller. I'his restricts the vision of the hunter and increases the need for absolute certainty before shooting. The commission has issued a list of twenty-two “Don’t” rules for hunters, which were publish- ed in the Courier last week. It is the hope of the commission that these rrules be observed. The records of the commission show that practically all acei- dents could have been avoided if an honest effort had been made to stop carelessness. Truman, who is himself an ar- dent sportsman, criticised the practice of pushing the safety or setting the hammer each time a hunter.believes he is not cer- tain he has sighted game. This, the records show, is one of the most deadly practices. It is better to miss a thousand shots than to run the risk of in- juring yourself or a companion. Push the safety, or set the ham- mer only when game is actually in sight. WATCH THE CHILDREN. There are quite a group of restless, active, little boys and girls form two to six, in Patton. They heedlessly run into danger. They are at an age that acci- lents of serious import happen. et our parents bear this in mind. In a year, in this country, six- teen hundred children between these ages burned to death. Hun- dreds died from poisoning. Their little hands reached out to ex- aimne and came in contact with leath. Tt is not too late to save the lives of Patton’s little child- en. Let all parents be careful around the house. Teach the children not to play with fire ind leave no poison within their reach, NEWS THAT DISAPPEARS. The closing of the political campaign finds the newspapers crowded with pleas of the poli- ticians, and the editorial pages crammed with communications [rom various contributors. Oth- er news events are ommited and many interesting. things escape notice, This phase ought to empha- size to the erading public that news is made. Events that would draw two colums on the front page in ordinary months, get a couple. of inches inside. The presidential race has the space and other things aer set aside. As a pointed example, last week, a plane, planning a hop to Italy, attempted to get under way and crashed. If you have read your newspapers carefully you may have seen it on the in- side pages. Now, compare that publicity with the beam of licht that encircled Byrd, Chamberlin and others when they hopped off and what does it mean? Noth- ing except that the press plays up what people are interested in, and ‘if nothing happens, the newspapers play up something most of us. But it is a credit to and make it interesting. BETTER GET YOUR LICENSE With only eight weeks remain- ing until the 1929 license nlates must be displayed on all «#01 vehicles, the state highway de- partment announces that only a few more than 100,000 have applied for renewal. During the first few days applications roll- ed in at the rate of 20,000 a day, but they are now dwindling in an alarming manner. The total licenses issued in 1928 are about a million and three quarters and renewals on 1,300,000 of these will likely be wanted for the first of the year. If the bulk of these are to come in the last few weeks in December, you can rest assured the state highway de- partment will not be in a posi- and the result will be that many motorists won't have a car li- cense on January 1st. There is no extension of time. Don’t wait until the last minute. Do it now. SUPERSTITIOU . . .
