Brush burning can be delayed until surrounding conditions are so wet that a fire is impossible. It may be burned at night when there usually is little danger. In most cases, the burning can be delayed by piling all the brush to one side, the space it will take up is very small. In most instances, brush burning forest fires come from a sin- gle small brush heap which could have been eliminated in some other way. If you must burn brush, motify the nearest Fire Tower Forest Inspector or the District Forester. HEALTH STORY “From time to time the readers of newspapers are informed of the exist- ence of crime waves. This invariably happens when coincidence develops an unusual amount of law infractions. Rightly, these matters are presented to the public inasmuch as a knowledge of conditions spur both official and individual to remedial action. However, there are other waves than those of THE PATTON COURIER FREE TICKETS TO SGHOOL CHILDREN FOR EXPOSITION Twa hundred thcusand school chil- ‘| dren in Cambria and the surrounding counties are to receive tickets which | | give free admission to the grounds and also free admission to the bleachers for the Cambria County Industrial Ex- pesition the week of June 30, and also to the Cam'..a County Fair, which opens Labor Day, Sept. 1. All school childres from the first to the eight grade inclusive will receive their tickets at schools during the next few weeks. The counties include Somer- (| set, Blair, Clearfield, Indiana, West- moreland and Bedford. Three days of ach weeek will be deveted to the school children. Their tickets will show on which day they- will be admitted both to the Exposition and to the fair. In all 400,000 tickets have been printed and are now being mailed to the vari- ous teachers who handle the first eight grades. Early delivery is being made so that the children who attend the rural sch- ools will get their tickets before the school season closes. Those in the city and borough schools will also get them at the same time. The gathering of information which enabled the Cambria County Fair As- sociation officials to get the names of the various teachers and the number of their pupils of the grades in the seven counties was quite a task and the bundling and mailing of the tickets to the various schools has also required an addition to the clerical force at the Fair headquarters in Ebensburg. Each ticket is not only good for ad- mission to the grounds on the day marked on it but is also a free ad- mission to the bleachers so that the children, both at the Exposition end Fair will have a chance to see the the great circus and vau lle shows that are given every afternoon on the race track. Keeping in mind this plan to admit the children free, President Blair C. Seeds had his eye open espe- cially for some attraction, both for the Exposition and the Fair that would cer- tainly entertain the youngsters. He dig not forget outdoor clowns who are al- ways favorites with the scholars on vacation. The tickets are.not only being mail- ed to all public schools in the seven counties but also to the parochial sch- ools so that not a youngster in the entire district who is attending any of the first eight grades will be overlook. ed. If, by inadvertance any school has been omitted a mesage to the Fair office, Barker Building, Ebensburg, will bring the number of tickets requi the request is sent by the tes crime; and the health wave is notably one of them,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health. “Annually, during the first and fol- lowing weeks in May, a health wave fortunately sweeps over, the county leaving in its wake hundreds of thou- sands of children who because of the defects discovered and remedied, are restored to a physical condition which removes handicaps in their present and future lives. Indeed, the results which can directly be traced to this concerted naticnal effort to better child health are amazing. “However, surveys of recent years unfortunately indicate that, despite na- tional and state attempts to improve the physical conditionof the pre-school and school child, many parents still pay little, if any, attention to the health welfare of their off-spring. It is an omission which is to be de- | plored. Carelessness in this matter not ‘only results in definitely handicapp- nig scheol life but impairs, if indeed it does not prmaturely end, thecareer of later years. “While there is perhaps an excusa- ble tendency on the part of many to imagine that the solution of public health problems such as pure water, safe milk, control of communicable diseases and other factors in mass pre- vention have automatically removed the necessity for individuals to be per- sonailly concerned in health problems, ncthing is actually further from the truth. “Health officials clinics, and even May Day activitigs, all play but a se- condary part in the child's welfare. The real obligation, awhich represents daily care for the phy al well being of not only their children but for themselves, rests with the parents. “Therefore, an habitual interest to develep and maintain hea’th should represent one of life's major concerns. Nothing more valuable than abundant good health exists, Why not give it the consideration it demands, both for your child and yourself,” BE KIND TO ANIMALS Governor Fisher Talks on Humane The Be Kind to Animals Anniversary which will be celebradted this year dur- ing the week of April 21-26, and Mu- mane Sunday which will be observed on April 27, are activities in which every American citizen should partici- pate. The motive is a worthy one. Humane Education seeks to develope sympathe- tic impulses toward, and the Kindly treatment of dumb creatures. It really transcends this, it finds is expression in a spirit of kindness toward every lixing creature. Pennsylvania makes this and dominant in its Humane Ed- ucation program which forms part of the course of study of every school in the Commonwealth. ‘Inculcation of gen- tleness, kindness and consideration for others will do much to reduce selfish- ness, prevent crime, and cure many of the ills that are so prevalent today. The world is seeking peace, harmony, and love. Consideration for all of God's creatures, a wider practice of the hu- mane virtues and the spirit of brother- ly love, will enrich America’s social life and elevate the general level of JOHN S. FISHER. FOR SALE:—Bittersweet roows, all sizes of roots. Mrs. J. C. McGough, Dysart, Pa. 3t. More and more bother the officials the Cambria County Fair Assc tion and the public of Western Pennsylvania are appreciating the fact that both the Exposition and the Fai are com- munity enterprises. This free admission of school children from a wide area is in line with the community idea.

TEXTURE RUSSELL-MILLER MILLING CO. OF NORTH DAKOTA Mertens Bakery, Patton, Pa. We received the two loaves of bread, one baked from Occident and one from Sweet Loaf High Strength, which were sent in to us from our Pittsburg office and wish to congratulate you on the excellent qualities these loaves pos- sess. Both are exceptionally fine and there really is not a great deal to choose The matter of scoring bread is of course one of personal opinion or of judgment to a large extent as it is pretty hard to say in judging texture, for instance, whether it is 14 or 14! against a possible 15, or whether 19 or 18 against a possible 20 in judging taste. It is pretty hard to reduce these in. tangibles to figures but we have done the best we can and are attaching here- to our score on these loaves. They rank up about as well as any bread that has come-to our attention. EXTERNAL APPEARANCE COLOR OF CRUST. SYMMETRY OF FORM . EVENNESS OF BAKE ..... CHARACTER OF CRUST . BREAK AND SHRED ..
