According to Pollack’s story related to police, he was driving his car down Chureh street when he stopped sudden- ly and a car following crashed into the rear end of his machine, inflicting slight damage. Pollack dismounted from his car and approached the fol- lowing car in which three men were riding. As he stepped on the running board of the car, he told police, he was seized by one of the occupants and the car started moving away at a rapid pace. After driving several blocks and making two turns, Pollack said the car approached the Polish cemetery where his abductors threw him from the speeding machine. He landed in the ditch where he was found a short time later. Pollack, who said his wife was with him at the time of the collision on Church street, was able to give the po- lice a good description of his assail- ants and an investigation is being made.

Mr. Gray was born in Susquehanna township, where the borough of Span- gler is now located, and was a son of Philip and Susan (Lantzy) Gray. The deceased was a descendant of two of Cambria County's oldest families. He had lived in Northern Cambria all of his life residing in Has%mngs for the last 40 years. Mr. Gray had worked in the mines for several years, retiring about 15 years ago. Mr. Gray is survive by his widow, Mrs. Mary A. (Hoover) Gray, and these children: Mrs. Josephine Colgan, Mrs. Susan Young, and Mrs. Lucy Young, all of Spangler; Mrs. Rosella Fiasco, William P. and Philip J.

Youngest of the fifty-five fairs to be held this fall in Pennsylvania, the Cambria County Fair takes rank with any of them. There remains little over a week now until the gates are open- ed again and, as Charles M. Schwab promised and Governor John 8S. Fisher prophesied, the sixth will be the big- gest fair that has ever been held in the famous little mountain town of Eb- ensburg. Just as the first five thousand dollars are the hardest to get, so the first five years of a fair seem to decide its fate. The seasons that have gone by have set the seal of success on the Cambria County enterprise, not only as a great community event but also among outsiders. So far all the money that has come in has gone right out again getting new buildings, better stock accommo- dations, the shows, the people seem to want. The management does try to dictate to the public what it shall see but is always watching what it is that the public wants, and this, in great measure, has been the secret of the success from the start of the great Cambria county fair. Agricultural lists and stock owners, elsewhere than in Cambria county and many outside the state, have learned this is a fair well worth while to get in on. The best therefore have sought reservations this fall. Some of the international grand champions in horses and cattle will be on exhibition when the fair opens on Monday, Sept. 2, Labor Day. Owners of racing stables, learning that things on the track have pepped up, since Ed J. Brennan, of Baltimore, Md., has taken over the control, have almost crowded each other out in their eagerness to be represented. There will be close to 250 horses taking part is racing during the week of the fair. Ra- cing fans have learned that it is a sporty track and that racing is worth while. With Hamid ,the New York conniss- eurs who select only the very best in circus and vaudeville to be on their lists, have rerouted some of their star acts so that they can all be together at Ebensburg, during fair week, show- ing every afternoon on the race track and every evening in the arena. These are acts that have thrilled Broadway. Nearly everything that has ever “thrilled” Broadway first of all had the stamp of approval put on it in the “big sticks” as the pavement crawlers call the places where the country folk live. But what Wirth and Hamid send as Broadway thrillers have never been in this section before. You are “in” the price of a round trip ticket to New York, if you see the fair. Monday is opening day. Tuesday, September 3, is set aside for the school children, Wednesday is to be a really red letter day for it will not only be “Railroad Day” with the Pitcairn band and the internationally known Red Ar- row Quartette, but will also be service club day, when Legionairres, Kiwan- ians, Lions, Rotarians and many other similar organiations are coming in force from all over the western part of the state. Thursday—usually called the “big day” at all fairs, is Cambria Coun- ty Day here, for all the days are big days at Ebensburg. Pittsburgh, having neither fair nor racing of its own, has been week ending up to see the Cam- bria county fair and racing, and as Friday ,September 6, is set aside as Pittsburgh day, and the fancy cattle and horses are sure of a good eyeing over. Saturday is sportsmen’s day when one of the most rollicking and exciting coon hound field trials that has ever been run, will be held almost all day in the fields adjoining and part of the fair grounds. Nothing has been said about a boxing show opening night, that is sure to have at least two knock-outs; band concerts. A great cavalcade of prize winning horses and catle; a new Mid- way and Auto Show, considered the best between New York and Chicago, an international poultry show; a col- lection of native song birds and prize canaries; live game exhibit and sports- men’s show; exhibits by merchants of Cambria and surrounding counties, dancing, and all the ordinary inciden- tals without which a fair would not really be itself. They will all be at the Cambria County Fair, every day of the entire week from September 2 until September 7, day and night.

Litzinger, aged 75, of Ashville, was left lying on the Ashville-Syber- ton road at 3 o'clock on Sunday after- noon by three young men, who es- caped in an automobile in the direc- tion of Ashville. Litzinger was walking from Gallit- zin to his home at Ashville at the time of the assault and robbery, he told police, and the money which was ta- ken was his semi-monthly wages. He had cashed his pay check in Gallitzin a short time before the robbery, he said. According to the story told the police the highway near Mine No. 4 when he noticed the trio loitering beside the road. One of the men was on one side of the road and the others were on the opposite side, all with caps pulled low over their eyes. As he drew near, two of the men suddenly attacked him 1S VICTIM OF THUGS Badly beaten and robbed of $65, Si-| Litzinger said he was wolking along | MRS.

Litzinger, who was employed as a woodsman by the Pelliccioni and Wise Co., of Gallitzin, was working at a lumber camp in the woods between St. Augustine and Fallen Timber. He had received his semi-monthly pay check on Saturday and cashed it Sunday morning. For some time it had been part of his duty to carry the pay checks to the men at the lumber camp each pay day and he had followed his usual custom last Saturday. WATCH WHERE YOU EAT WHILE AUTO TOURING Timely Health Talk from Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health of Pennsylvania. “The wayside eating stand has ceas- ed to be an incidental affair. Both in numbers and types it has had enormous growth in the past few years. Motor- ists by the thousands are now depend- ing upon these establishments, not on- ly for occasional refreshment, but for their full fledged meals, as well. It has become a great seasonal business of national importance,” said Dr. The- odore B. Appel, secretary of health, the other day. “It is true that conditions are im- proving in many of these places and that the regular standards of cleanli- ness and sanitation are being more carefully observed than formerly wa the case. On the other hand, there art yet many stands of this character whose proprietors pay little if any at- tention to the conditions in and around them. And it is rather surprising how many people who are finicky concern- ing their food when served at home or in restaurants pay no attention what- soever to insanitary and even unsafe service when they are on the road. “Health departments and national distributors of food and refreshment stuffs are co-operating extensively in the movement for better and cleaner stands. But even with public health and big business thus allied, the decid- ing factor in the last analysis is the patron himself. “Before patronizing these establish- ments the automobilist should reason- ably assure himself that the drinking water is safe, that the milk, if pur- chased, is sold in original containers, that facilities for the proper cleansing of eating and drinking utensils exist and that they are employed, and that the employees themselves present a clean appearance with particular refer- ence to their hands and finger nails. “Despite the concerted effort to im- prove conditions, unless a personal and intelligent co-operation of the thous- ands who daily avail themselves of the wayside service is exercised, the situa- tion will continue to fall far short of that which should be expected of it. Let better and cleaner stands be a person- al slogan. And govern yourself accord< ingly. REV. FATHER SASS IS stowed last Thursday upon the Rt. Rev Catholic church, Loretto, at church, by the Rt. Rev.

Fol- lowing her return east, her condition apparantly improved for a time, but later she failed to respond to treat- ment. Sally Douglass Bradley was a grad- uate of the Patton High School of the class of 1925. She had been employed | at clerical positions about Patton be- | fore leaving for the west, and is well | known to most of our readers. Surviving her, besides her husband, are her mother, and the following bro- thers and sisters, Bert Douglas, of this place; and Silas, John, Theresa and Francis, all of Tucson, Arizona. Mrs. Bradley was a devout Catholic, and her graciousness and patience un- der her serious handicap for the past several months was admirable. Definite funeral arrangements have | not been completed, and will not be | until some time late today, when Mr. | Bradley arrives home with the body. It is quite. likely, however, that the body will be brought to the home of | her brother, Bert Douglas, on Palmer | avenue, tonight, and that the funeral | services will be held in St. Mary's | Catholic church on Saturday morning. | Burial probably will be at Carrolltown. [TRANSFER TITLE OF OLD GARDNER PLANT Title to all of the property of the | Gardner Calculator Company, which | for a number of years prior to the | early part of 1928 had been engaged in {the manufacture and sale of calculat- {ing machines in Ebensburg, but which plant has been shut down for more |than a year, last week was transferred to Stanley W. Allen, of East Orange, N. J. This concern has been owned and controlled entirely by local capital and when .operating employed 65 men. The product had been on the market and was favorably received by the general business’ public, but owing to unforseen financial difficulties the plant was closed. Mr. Allen expressed the opinion that the general conditions for con- ducting the plant at Ebensburg were favorable, that the housing conditions and labor situation seemed to be sat- | isfactory, and that the plant would at | least remain in operation for the time being. It is the intention of the new management to begin immediately to put the new plant in order and it is hoped that by September 1st the plant will be in operation once more. While no definite opinion was expressed as to the number of men who might be employed, it was rumored that the number of employees would be materi- ally increased over the number pre- viously employed.
