GREGORY ORDER Bishop McCort of Altoona Dio- cese Has Charge of Cere- monies on Monday. ONE OF HIGHEST HONORS FOR CATHOLIC LAYMAN St. Mary’s church, Patton, was well filled on Monday afternoon at five o’- clock by members of the congregation, priests of the Altoona diocese and nu- merous business associates of Geo. E. Prindible, the occasion being the in- vesture of Patton's foremost citizen as a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a Catholic layman. The Knighting of Mr. Prindi- ble was at the instance of Pope Pius XI, whose edict elevating the Patton man to knighthood was read by the Rev.Father Henry, O. S. B., pastor of St. Mary's church. The Papal Orders were read by Fa- ther Henry in Latin and the transla- tion also was given, following which] Mr. Prindible entered the sanctuary | and was declared a Sir Knight of the Gregorian Order by the Rt. Rev. John J. McCort, D. D., bishop of the Altoona diocese. In honoring Mr. Prindible in accordance with the papal edict, Bish- op McCort spoke in glowing words of the work of Catholic laymen of the type of George E. Prindible and Dr. John B. McAneny, the latter of Johns- own, who also has been selected for Knighthood in the Order of St. Greg- ory. The Johnstown physician was in attendance at the Prindible ceremon- ies. The Bishop stated that while there are other Catholic men in the diocese deserving of Knighthood, Sir Knight Prindible was chosen as a representa- tive of deserving men for the manner in which he has modestly championed worth while ideals, his Christian char- ity, and above all the rest his practice of his faith in the same humble man- ner as his fellow parishioners, despite the fact that he has been blessed in a worldy manner—a fact that some- times leads men away from things re- ligious. Bishop McCort celebrated the bene- diction of the Blessed Sacrament, as- sisted by the Rev. Father J. E. O’'Con- nor, pastor of St. Edward's church, of Barnesboro, and the Rev. Father Al- phonse, O. S. B.,, of the Holy Cross Church, Spangler. Members of the Fourth Degree Assemblies of the K. of C. over the north of the county, were present in full regalia, and the Carr- olltown members formed a cross and presented arms during the benediction. Among the priests present'were the Rt. Rev. Mons. John N. Codori, L. L. D., V G., Johnstown; Victor Frankof- sky, Barnesboro; the Rt. Rev. Mons. Hugh M. O'Neill, Ebensburg; Pollard Farren ,St. Augustine; James Padden, Chest Springs; William Griffin, John Sullivan, the Rev. Dr. John P. M. Doyle, T. O. R., and Raphael Breheny, T. OR. Loretto; Francis Smythe, T. O. R., and Charles Smythe, T. O. R., Bar- nesboro; the Very Rev. Thomas Wolf, O. S. B,, Raphael, O. S. B,, and Berth- old, O. S. B., Carrolltown; Marinus, O. S. B., Nicktown; Stephen Weiland, O. S. B., Hastings; Modestus Wirtner, O. S. B, St. Boniface; Adrian, O. 8. B,, Patton; James Graven and Innocent Strittmatter, Cresson; George Quinn, | Spangler. Following the church ceremonies Mr. Prindible was the guest of honor at a banquet at the New Palmer House, where members of the family, clergy headed by Bishop McCort, and a few invited guests gathered to honor the distinguished layman. The Rev. Father James Graven, pastor of St. Francis Xavier's Catholic church, Cresson, was toastmaster. Mr. Prindible was lauded in short talks by Bishop McCort, Dr. Codori, Father Henry and Dr. Doyle. Responding with characteristic re- ticence, Mr. Prindible declared that, while the high honor came to him un- expectedly, he also believed it came undeservedly. Since the Supreme Pon- tiff saw fit to bestow the unusual hon- or upon him for merit manifested dur- COAL PRODUCTION Department of Commerce Fig- ures on Output for 1928 Gives High Rating Pennsylvania continues to lead all other states in the total value of coal production according to the latest fig- ures compiled by the United States Bu- reau of Mines, Deparment of Com- merce. The total value of the coal pro- duced by the mines in the state in 1928 was $643,533.000. Of this $393,638- 000 was contributed by the anthra- cite mines and $249,895,000 by the bi- tuminous mines. In comparison with the year preceding the total value shows a decrease of 7 per cent and) the total tonnage a decrease of 3 per] cent. The production of bituminous coal was 131,202,163 tons. Fayette County continued to lead all other bituminous counties in the State with a total pro- ducion of 29,564,000 tons. Next in order came Westmoreland County with 16,- 729,000 tons, Cambria County with 15,- 012,000, Washington County with 14, - 776,000 and Allegheny county with 13,- 393,000 tons. In comparison with 1927, the record for 1928 shows a tendency to concen- trate production of bituminous coal in a smaller number of more efficient mines. The nuber of commercial bi- tuminous mines in operation decliner from 1,831 to 1,557, but the number of Class 1 mines, that is mines producing | 200,000 tons or more, increased from 174 to 189. The output per man per day increased number of men were em- ployed ,but those remaining on the! payrolls were given more steady em- ployment. The total number at work | declined from 153,829 in 1927 to 133,-| 414 in 1928, but the average time work- | from 203 days to 218 days. | The year 1928 was one of lessened | activities in the bituminous coal indus- | try and Pennsylvania operators shared the general country-wide conditions. The average price f. 0. b. mines in 1928 was $1.90 per ton, or 25 cents less| than 1927, | GAME COMMISSION TELLS ABOUT SEASON DATING Sportsmen are divided in sentiment as to the action of the state game com- | mission in establishing a closed season on ruffed grouse this year. Hngarian partridges, being planted plentifully this spring and summer, also will be| protected during the hunting season, | while buck deer and not does will be| shot during the regular period. Local- | ly it is declared the ruffed grouse are| plentiful and that the breeding seca-| son has been a good one. But the item of greatest interest from all viewpoints, is that a full six| days’ hunting each week of the open] seasons will be allowed. Last year’s ex- | periment of three days a week hunting developed the biggest grouch in years. The farmer complained ,and the city man also—hunting being confined to the last three days of the week. For| the mill man, this almost precluded hunting; the business man could not! get away from his store or office as a| | rule, while the farmer declared he had to hunt when weather permitted him to do so. | The state game commission has just promulgated its rules for the next sea- son’s dates, bag limits and other con-| ditions being established as follows: | Deer, two or more points to their | antlers, December 1 to 15; elk, four or| more points to antlers, same as deer; | bear, one year old or older, November 1 to December 15. Bag limits as in oth- | er years. | Blackbirds, August 1 to November | 30; wild turkeys, ring neck pheasants, November 1 to 15th; bob white quail, gray, black and fox squirrels and cot- ton tail rabbits and hares, November 1 to 30. | Bear, one year old or older, Novem- | ing a busy career in business, Mr. Prin- dible assured the clergy that his fu-|vember 1 to January 15, the number | ang will be held at Immergrun grove, ture work in Catholic enterprise will | not be marked by a departure from the | course which resulted in his being hon- ored. | One of the speakers at the banquet | tinue with Federal regulations as soon | deville and dancing after the evening in lauding Sir Knight George said: | “All knights are noble, but all nobles are not knights, and the chie fcharac- | teristic of Mr. Prindible is that he al- | ways has been noble to his fellowmen.” | MRS.
