Dry weather which caused anxiety
Ito farmers made August a record
| month in highway construction mile-
| age, with a total of 105.99 miles laid
{by contract. Chief Engineer Samuel
{ Cckels of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Highways, announced yester-
day. Total mileage for the year went
over 300 miles during the last two days
of the month.
“Contractors welcome the prolonged
period of fair weather untilmany of
them, depending on streams for their
| water supply, noted that lack of rain
was slowly diminishing the streams.
Only a few found the water problem
serious, however, and were compelled
to haul water to the operation. The
longest haul reported was three miles,
in Lancastre County,” Eckels said.
Proper and adequate water supply
Engineer Eckels declared, is one of the
vital factors of road building. Unfor-
tunately, contractors can’t use water
at random from any stream which
happens to be in the vicinity of the
job. Samples be submited to the che-
mist who analyzes for various minerals,
chiefs among them sulphur, which are
harmful to concrete. Some of these
minerals would cause a concrete high-
way to deteriorate and crack to ruin
in a short period of time.
Mine water in particular but any
water found in the coal regions is
continually under suspicion, because
of its high sulphur content. Peculiarly
many fresh-water streams are found
in these regions which pass the che-
mist’s close scrutiny and these must
be used by the contractor. Inspectors
for the Department, who supervise each
contract job, sometimes are suspicious
after a stream has been approved and
used for several days that surface wat-
er followin ga heavy rain is polluting
the steams. More tests are made.
Chemical plants sometimes drain waste
water loaded with chemicals into an
otherwise pure stream, making the
water unfit for concrete work.
“Contractors have more to do than
merely grab a hand full of blue prints
and start to pour concrete.” Eckels
asserted. “Pennsylvania Department of
Highways methods are codified for the
guidance of every contractor and re-
gardless of conditions, the right kind
of water must be used.”
SCOUTS ENJOY FINE
WEINER ROAST
On Friday, Sept. 13, the Scouts
hiked to the Council Ring were they
enjoyed a fine layout of corn, weiners,
marshmallows, cheese sandwiches, and
a good time.
A huge cooking fire was built with
some difficulty due to the wetness
of the wood, but the expert woodcraft
of Mr. Brown was evidenced when he
lit a fire with one match. Roasting
weiners and corn soon performed at-
mosphere.
While everyone was enjoying the
feed, it was suggested that a contest
should be held to decided who was
the biggest prevaricator in the troop.
The decision was unanimous in favor
of Albert Crooks who had a wonder-
ful story of Sir Sallahad and Sir Wal-
ter Rawleigh. Mr. Brown and Mr Quinn
then entertained with several stories
of Indiana life in this section.
By this time the fire was a bed of
red hot coals, and one of the boys
produce from some unknown source
a sack of potatoes which completed
the menu for the evening. Then as
the last potato was eaten, assembly
was sounded by the bugler and the
group assembled for closing exercises
which were made very impressive due
to the benediction in the Indian Sign
Language by Mr. Quinn. The Scouts
hiked home under a moonlight sky,
happy with but one regret that there
were not more Scouts present to par-
take in our annual corn and weiner
roast.
The regular weekly meeting is to be
held on Friday. All Scouts are request-
ed to be present as this meeting will
prove to be of special interest accord-
ing to Mr. Brown.

Pending trial on charges of contempt
of court, David A. Bulger of Buckhorn,
Cambria county, was admitted to $1,-

for contempt last week after prohibi-
