Conditions in the affairs of the Cambria county poor board cannot be of daily newspapers, and what few the best county newspapers make an} comment at all, are censuring them. And the poor board is supposed to handle with keen judgment, but also with the wisdom of a business organization the expen- diture of the people's money. Fhe resignation of bott as a member of the board is deplorable, yet in all justice Mr. Tibbott, he could do not} elise. The Courier will make n effort to discuss the situatic detail. Folks who read the newspapers know th following editorial is from the Johnstown Tribune: Harve Tib- 2 story. “It is indeed unfortunate for both the finances of for the residents who come und board jurisdiction that Mrs ellyn and John L.

Evans was prompted by his utter lack of knowledge of social work, and that Mrs. Llewellyn has been influenced by friends whose opposition to Miss Mackevrican is purely personal. “The Tribune Contr Cannon will extend his investigat poor board affairs so as to incl only the work of Walter Devore but al- so the work of Mrs. Llewellyn and Mr Evans, in order that the pu know just how $180,000 annua county’s money is being spc poor board.” the county as well the Poor s of Harve hopes that may Following the resienation of Mr. Tibbott from the boar court last week Price, one of the defeat lican contenders for the now held by John L.

A TRIBUTE. (Communicated. ) Rev. Edwin Pierron, O. S. B., who passed to his eternal reward January 30, as he morning, came to ‘“the mountains” loved to call this section of Northern Cambria County, nearly a half century ago, and, with a brief interruption of a year or so spent as President of the Benedictine College in North Carolina, gave almost his entire life as priest and man in the ser- vice of God and humanity to the people of this community. Thursday Turning from the field of med- icine which had held his atten tion in his early years, and in which profession he gave every promise of becoming one of leaders, he heard and heeded the call of God to a higher life and took up his studies for the priest- hood in St. Vincent's College, at Latrobe, Pa. Soon after his ordination he was sent to Carrolltown as as- sistant to the resident pastor, where he labored among his par- ishioners with such zeal and de- votion as has made his name Ey Rowe in evérreraewhere he = rwesskafowvn, In that early period in the development of our county Carrolltown parish embraced the entire region north of Loretto extending also into Indiana and Clearfield coun- ties. His benefactions to the peo- ple of that time, when roads were no more than bridle paths when doctors were difficult to reach, can be only faintly real- ized by those of this day to whom he has brought the boon of health along with the deep consolations of the soul. Later these same benefactions came to the people of Hastings and its vicinity. Lastly, Patton was to be blest with the ministrations of this scholar-priest, from the prime of his man-hood to the ripened wisdom of his sublime old age. Youth, the middle-aged, and those of advanced years join in saying that the thirty-one years of his life spent amongst us have been years of the noblest and most exalted ministrations to his parishioners; that his pas- torate has reflected most honor- ably on the great dignity of the Catholic priesthood, and has been and edification to the community where he was held in the highest honor and esteem by the entire citizen body of all, and those of no religious affiliations; that his and Ibensburge, voice was recognized as author- itative in all matters of commun- ity interest; that his leadership built for him a wonderful monu- years of ser- vice and exemplary life among us —and finally, that through him and his life, our community has been given an exemplification of the Scriptural test—“A great prophet has risen up amongst us, and God has visited His people.’ ADMITTED 17 PATIENTS.
