OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SIDE LINES. —WISDOM is recorded in the move of the Cambria County Fair Associa- tion in increasing the number of its directorate. The fair is a proposition that is much bigger than Cambria County. It is a Central Pennsylvania proposition, and interest can, no doubt be created in Blair county, too. We note with pleasure that a number of Altoona business men are now on the Board. * * * * —PATTON folks in general ' are pleased with the move made by the Cambria county Commissioners, last week, authorizing the construction of a concrete floor on the bridge over Little Chest Creek on South Fifth avenue. This bridge has required re- pairs by the county at least twice a year in the past, due to the heavy traffic over it, and at best, it is usually a rough proposition to ride over. * * * » CLEARFIELD Council has put the ban on Sunday mid-night movies and on miniture golf and on after-midnight music in the down town sections. We suppose baseball has already been banned, and that the only way to be “holy” is to go to church, or to play regular golf on a regular course. * * * * —THE OLD Patton Brewery is fast becoming nothing less than a pile of bricks. The fact of the matter is that the only use we can see it serving is as a foundation for a radio antenna, or rather a couple of them at the top of the structure. Time was, however, when this building was a point of in- dustry. But, alas, no more. It’s product is now manufgetured in a hundred and one cellars for home consumption in our fair village. * = * * —EX-SOLDIERS from Patton were conspicious at the annual reunion of the Eighthieth Division held in Johns- town several days last week. Many of them brought memories of the days at Camp Lee and overseas back home with them, and many of them re- newed acquaintances that time and memory will not blot out. * * * * —RUDY VALLEE came to Sunset ' Park last Friday night, and likewise thousands of cars also came to Sun- set Park. In fact the grounds likely parked: more automobiles Friday than have ever been there before in its history. A greater portion of the crowd were spectators and remained outside— but the attraction was Rudy Vallee. Which reminds us of the adage, “Let a man make a better mousetrap than his neighbor, and the world will trod a beaten path to his door.” * * * * —WELL, when this summer is over grandfather will have to go some to remember any other summer that was hotter. * * * * —HOW DO the forest fires start. We have had scores of them in this sec- tion of the county and state in the past few weeks. They do not start themselves. For the most part they are the cause of thoughtlessness, care- lessness or worse. It may be neglected camp fire, or a carelessly dropped match or cigarette butt. Be careful when in the woods. Your being care- ful may save thousands of dollars’ worth of property. * * * * —WITH all the complaints of hard times, and of depressions in the coal mining industry, we notice that the. whistles at both the Clay Works a the Silk Mill still continue to blow at noon and evening. These two indus- | tries have helped Patton materially | for these past several years when the rest of our neighbors heard no whistles. * * - * —THE PATTON SPORTSMEN has proved itself an active and worth while organization, and it is the duty of every citizen Who is. interested 11 | pm. with them.
