where they lift their heads and
checking the flow of inferior foods
upon the market—this is the record
of Henry M. Gooderham of Patton,
special agent for the bureau of foods,
department of agriculture.
On July 31st the Patton man will
finish a score of years on this job. He
has held this responsible post through
the administrations of Govs. Edwin S.
Stuart, John K. Tener, M. G. Brum-
baugh, William C. Sproul, Gifford
Pinchot, and John S. Fisher, and has
the distinction of the longest service
mark of any state appointee in Cam-
bria county. Though now affected by
the state retirement act, he will be el-
igible in five years to half salary pen-
sion for the remainder of his life.
Mr. Gooderham's assignment is the
Cambria-Blair-Somerset county dis-
trict, but on matters of importance
he has been delegated n:ore than once
to other territory. Among the outstand-
ing contributions to his department is
his survey of the egg situation in the
west, where he was obliged to work in |
disguise in order that he might not be |
detected. His disclosures of the “oiled
egg” system there, under which cer-
tain plants were shipping spoiled eggs
into Pennsylvania, and other informa- |
tion which he was able to furnish the
department were considered of invalu-
able aid, and at the time provoked
much comment. His investigation was
made on special orders of the auditor
general of this state.
Some time ago he assisted promin-
ently in smashing the olive-oil ring of |
the east, which was operating from
Boston, Mass., as far west as Ohio. In
this instance manufacturers were
found to be selling dealers empty cans

he taught school in northern Cambria
county, later reurning to his father’s |
farm. But he did not remain there |
long, for a short time later he was ad- |
ded to the force of the farmer’s insti- |
tute division of the state. His appoint- |
ment was unexpected and was made |
by James Faust, then director of the |
bureau of pure foods and chemistry, |
department of agriculture, at the re- |
quest of the Pennsylvania Grange, the
Pennsylvania Pure Butter asociation, |
and allied farmers of this section of
the state. Thus he became the young- |
est farm institute instructor to own |
and operate a farm in the state.
During the World War Mr. Gooder-
ham was selected as chairman of in-|
creased food production for Cambria
county, and shortly after was com-
mended by Howard Heinz, the pickle
manufacturer, who, as state chairman
then serving under the now president
Herbert Hoover, made this public sta- |
tement: |
“Cambria county has shown the]
greatest increased food production of |
any county in the state.” |
In August, 1917, Mr. Gooderham was
inducted into the army as a member |
of the third western district draft ap- |
peal board. As a result, he carries state
and federal commissions and a Patton
American Legion membership.
During his connections with the
state, Mr. Gooderham had little time
to devote to farm management. But]
his son, Edgar, has taken up the work |
on the Gooderham homestead, near
Patton and has come to the front in
his production of cows. He owns at
present two United States class leader |
cows, one sixth in its class and the oth- |
er fourth in its class. He is said to be |
the youngest farmer in the country to |
produce two leaders and is reported to |
possess one of the finest herds of cat-
tle in the state. He has won numerous
prizes and production records.

17TH REUNION AUGUST 10 |
The seventeenth annual picnic and
games of the Northern Cambria Scot-
tish Club will be held this year at El-|
ectric Park, Barnesboro, on Saturday,

claimed to be the largest reunions of |
Scottish clans between Philadelphia |
and Pittsburgh. A detailed program
has been planned for the occasion,
with highland dancing and Scottish
games listed as the features. The grand |
chieftain, William MacPherson, of
Cleveland, Ohio, will be in attendance. |

Twice as many men and women over

wrecks as boys and girls under 18.
Two thousand and ten crashes were
said to have been caused by excessive
speed but 6501 were ‘the result of er-
rors of judgment and violations of mo-
tor code provisions. A total of 1755
wrecks occurred because operators
drove off the road.
Four times as many mishaps occur-
red when operators were making left
turns as when they were turning to the
right, but 13,936 of the 18,755 wrecks
came when drivers were traveling

urred at street intersecions in cit-

highway.
Children playing on the street were
involved in 902 accidents, and 48 of
these youngsters were Killed. Seven

In June, the figures show, 165 per-
| sons were killed and 3090 injured. Of
those killed, eighty-nine were pedes-
trians. The June percentage of pedes-
rians killed, compared with the total
leaths is higher than the half year
period. The total number of accidents
in June of 1929 was 3627 compared with
2305 in June, 1928;
“Accident reports tell only one story
and it is the failure of human intell-
|1gence at a critical moment,” comm-
ented Benjamin G. Eynon, Commiss-
ioner of Motor Vehicles. “No road or
reet is safer than the weakest intel-
t using it. There is no good reason
for any of the 18,755 crashes reported
to the Motor Vehicles Bureau during
the first six months of 1929.”

| April of 1928,” said Mr. Eynon, “Fifty- |
| eight per cent of the passenger motor |
| vehicles examined were found to be |

and while not all of them were neces- |
sarily accident hazards is is undoubt- |
edly true that the mechanical equa- |
tion is an important element in the |
problem of highway safety. The reac-!
tions of individuals who operate motor |
cars are governed by mental processes |
beyond control, but there is no good !
reason why a motor vehicle should not
be mechanically perfect.”
FAMOUS RAILROAD
SINGERS COMING
To the Cambria County Fair to
Be Held At Ebensburg in
September.
Few people know very much about
the four men who made up the fa-
mous Red Arrow Vocal Quartet. Al-
though it has been heard on the air
over more than 40 radio stations in
this country and Canada and has made
more than 800 appearances on the
concert platform, little has ever besn
divulged about the men. They are all
real honest-to-goodness railroaders,
employed by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road ,and they work at widely separat-
ed points.
At first tlicy attracted local atten-
tion because of their voices and final-
ly some oen of the railroad officials
heard of all of them and brought them
together. They are F. J. Braun, first|
tenor, a passenger conductor of the
Cleveland Express; I. D. Schaffer, the |
second tenor, is a freight brakeman on |
the Eastern division and lives at New |
Brighton, Pa. The fine baritone, C. W. |
MecVicker, is a maintainer in the Tel- |
egraph and Signal department of the
Panhandle Division and resides at |
California, Pa. The magnificent basso,
F. W. Schoeller is a signalman in the |
Telegraph and Signal Department of
at the Cambria County Fair, and with
cairn brass band, which has also been
heard on the air from many radio sta-
tions. This band is also composed of ac-
tual shop workmen employed by the
railroad, and both the members of the
quartet and the band can step into
their railroad jobs and carry them

THOMAS FRANCIS.
{ Thomas Francis, aged 74, fell dead at
his home at Ebensburg on Monday ev-
ening upon returning from work. Ap-
oplexy is believed to have caused his
death although the aged man, a life- |
long resident of the Ebensburg section,
seldom was known to have been ill.
Mr. Francis for the past eight years |
has been sexton at the Ebensburg Con-
gregational church. He was born in
Cambria township in 1855, a son of the |
late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Francis, and
engaged in farming in that section un-
til 24 years ago, when he moved to Eb-
ensburg. He is survived by his widow
and several children. Funeral services
were held on Wednesday afternoon and
buiral was in Lloyd cemetery.

Following he exercises on Sunday,
during which Mons. O'Neil was clothed
{in the raiment of the monsignori, Bish-
op McCort addressed the assemblage
and paid high tribute to the newly cre-
ated monsignor. Among the atributes
of Mons. O'Neil which inspired Bishop
McCort to recommend the honor of
Father O'Neil to Pope Pius, he said,
was the Ebensburg pastor's marked
Christian charity. Mons. O’Neil’s bene-
ficence has befn extended among not
only members of his parish but resi-
dents of the district as well. Like the
Good Samaritan, Mons. O'Neil's char-
ity knew no creed or race, Bishop Mc-
Cort said, and his good deeds were ex-
tended to Catholic and Protestant, Jew
| and gentile, white and negro, alike. It
was this characteristic more than any-
thing else which impressed Bishop Mc-
Cort and resulted in a recommendation
to Pope Pius that the signal honor be
bestowed upon the Ebensburger.
Mons. O'Neil’s elevation was attended
by impressive services. The ceremony
started with a procession from the rec-
tory to the church, participated in by
many priests of the diocese who had
gathered to pay tribute to the popular
priest.
