From the Files of the Courier of Thursday, June 6, 1895, “A large number of miners have moved away from Patton to seek work elsewhere. Work here for the past month has been very slack. The pro- spects for June work, it is said, will be much better.” “By the passage of a bill in the| Pennsylvania legislature, and signed by Governor Beaver, bicycles are ac- cording the same rights as other ve- hicles upon the road, and in case of tresspass upon those rights members should report the case to the nearest counsel. who will in turn forward a report to the Division Rights and Pri- vileges committee for action.

Several complaints have been made both by wheelmen and drivers. This is not necessary. The law is plain and should be observed.” “Decoration day was appropriately observed in Patton for the first time.| Every business place was closed and every person seemed filled with patrio-| tic spirit.” “Father Maurice Hartman of St. | Boniface will say his first mass at that place on Thursday, June 13th. He was born at St. Boniface and has always made that place his home. He will be ordained on Saturday at St. Vincent College at Latrobe. On June 13 and 14 a grand picnic will be held at the above named place by the congre-| gation for the benefit of the church. | The picnic will commence immediately | after Father Hartman says his first] mass.” “S.

On evening about three weeks ago some person Or per- sons drained the water out of the pool and made way with a large num- ber of his choicest specimens.” “On Tuesday evening C. W.

He went from Patton to Altoona and will go from there to Williamsport by way of the Bald Eagle valley. He expects to wheel Parents Can Set Ebensburg has been raised from $1- 700 to $1,800 a year. “Dr. J. A.

He will be absent for some time.” “There were 51 births sixteen deaths and 418 school children in the First ward of Patton for the past six months according to the report of assessor Somerville.” “Patton Fire Co.. No. 1 is making big preparations for a celebration on the Fourth of July. It will be held in Firemen's park where dinner and supper will be served. Stull's orchestra will furnish music for dancing both afternoon and evening.” “Bishop Eugene A. Garvey of the Altoona diocese has arrived in Rome and is now stopping at the American College. Pope Pius officiated at the | Ascension Day exercises at the Vatican last Thursday and in the procession which was held were Bishop Garvey and Archbishop, of Philadelphia.” “The Patton Business Men's Associa- tion held a meeting on Wednesday night at which a nlmber of matters of importance were discussed. The advisability of closing the stores at 6 P. M. was brought up but no de- finite action was taken. A resolution was adopted calling on the borough council to enforce the Sunday clos- ing law and compel all store keepers to quit business on that day. Another meeting will be held Wednesday eve- ning.” Example to Children By Proper Living “A few weeks ago prominent euge- nists met in Manhattan to discuss the| problems of generating children sound in mind and body. Many important sub-| jects were discussed. Of course, the| outstanding question was the health| of those who were likely to become parents. Healthy progenitors, healthy children. The importance of this rule cannot be denied. Selectivity on a bio- logical basis is bound to develop a finer and healthier type of individual. But there are other matters that could also be wisely considered in this con- nection,” said Doctor Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health. “It is one thing to be born healthy and sound. But it is another problem to stay that way. Health officials for years have realized that the battle has just begun when a baby, sound phy- sically and mentally, has been usher- ed into the world. No more eloquent proof of this fact can be found than in the intensiye solicitation that of- ficial health agencies have exhibited for the babies and young people of this country. Prenatal and well baby clinics, tuberculosis preventoriums, an- ti-diphtheria campaigns and vaccina- tion against smalpox are but a few examples of the extreme concern thal is exhibited for the nation’s young. That the efforts have been more than justified is proved by the magnificent, and in many instances the spectacu- FARM CALENDAR Timely Reminders from The Pennsylvania State College School of Agriculture Keep Turkeys from Pests—Artificial brooding of turkeys is a means of avoiding worms, lice, mites and pos- sibly blackhead, of the poults are kept away from infected areas. Thin Some Apples—Fruit thinn is more profitable on trees carr an excessively heavy crop than on those where the set is slightly more than what is wanted. The return is likely to be greater on fancy varieties like Jonathan and McIntosh than on Ben Davis and Baldwin. Grow Ton Litters—Good breeding stock and proper care are ton litter principles which should help to grow any litter of nine or more pigs to a weight ‘of 2000 pounds at six months of age. Control Sheep Pests—Dipping the sheep flock after shearing will save feed later because the operation will kill lice and ticks which annoy the lambs and keep them from making proper gains.

Support Large Peonies—It is some- times necess: ing ing | lar results that have been thus at- tained. Unfortunately, however, the problem does not end when the young | people have arrived at the age of dis- | cretion. “Being no longer under parental control, the young person chooses his own method of living. Too frequently he is guided by the example of his parents. Late hours, excessive use of mild stimulants, indiscriminate eating. lack of exercise and fresh air, and in short a general disregard of the fund- amental rules of existence, are by the force of example, impressed upon them by the older folks. And to all of this added the high speed and nerve- wrecking pleasures and pursuits of the present ape, Such conditions where they obtain do not tend to develop sound and healthy parents. “There are, therefore, two good rea- sons why older people should be in- terested in’ their own health habits and display for themselves as much intelligence in their own welfare as they do for the children in their homes. First they will be better physically and mentally by living sensibly, and they will at the same time be setting an example of which their children will later be much in need. “Let the work of eugenics go on and increase.

THEODORE DEWANE Theodore Dewane, aged 64, was found dead last Thursday night at his home in Hastings, where he had resided alone since the death of his wife August 26, 1927.

He did. not re- port at the mine the next day and an investigation was made last Thurs- day evening, the body being found on the floor of his bedroom.

ALTOONA RACES TO BE BEST EVER Lady Fate is going to have some ica’s prize gas jockeys attempt to har- ness her during their annual 200 mile Flag Day classic on the Altoona Speed- way. For two of the boys “counted out” are going to return to the Altoona boards to square accounts. i Harry Hartz, three “A’ champion in 1926 whose campaign against this phantom boss of the speed game was cut short the following year when he| hovered between life and death after his car crashed on the Salem, New Hampshire speedway, is coming to Al- toona for the reckoning and with him he is bringing Billy Arnold. Hartz signed the entry at Indianapolis Fri- day, according to word from Paul Pommer, manager of the Altoona Speedway Corporation. Time after time since his near fa- tal wreck at Salem, Hartz attempted to get back into overalls and follow the benzine trail, but reverses crushed his hopes. ‘When physicians worked with his broken body Salem, they said he would never drive again. They confided that he would be lucky to survive. Then that same determina- tion that carried him to dizzzy heights along the speed trail entered Hartz's fight in the hospital. Soon he was out in the open again, much bef his physicians expected him to lec his cot and he was still haunted with the thought of being forced to the grandstand—for there were two crut- ches. But Smiling Harry never agreed he would be unable to drive again Then the Crutches were packed away and a cane was the only obstacle between Hartz and the game that almost spell- ed his finish.
