EDWARD J WEISE | AN APPEAL BY THE RED PATTON MUSICAL ONE WAY TO HELP STEPHEN A. COOPER | ALL STORES WILL BE PATTON HIGH SCHOOL
IS GRANGE MASTER
About Two Hundred Members |
of County Pomona Meet
In Ebensburg
Edward J. Weise of Ashville was
elected master of the Cambria County
Pomona grange at the biennial buse-
ness meeting of the organization held
in Firemen’s hall in Ebensburg Satur-
day with more than 200 members in
attendance.
The meeting was the first held by
the organization since the charter, sus-
pended by State Master E. B. Dor-
sett, was restored. Dorsett’s action in
suspending the charter of the Cambria
county body was taken after the or- |
ganization, at a meeting last summer, |
passed a resolution asking for the mo-
dification or repeal of the 18th amend-
ment and the Volstead act, later, in
the presence of Mr. Dorsett, refusing to
rescind this action. Although the
charter was suspended, it never was out
of the posession of the grange officers,
who held that Dorsett was without
power to order such action and which
view is said to have been upheld by
the executive committee of the state |
organization. The only effect of the
state master’s action, aside from at-
tracting considerable publicity, was to
cause a postponement of the biennial
election of officers from October until
Saturday.
Other officers elected at the meet-
ing were: C. J. Bearer of Hastings,
overseer; County Farm Agent H. C.
McWilliams of Ebensburg, lecturer;
Gordon H. Dumm of Ebensburg R. D.,
secretary; station Evans of Ebensburg
R. D., stewart; Walter Criste of Cres-
son R. D. assistant steward; Mrs.
Edward J. Weise of Ashville, lady assi-
tant steward; Elmer Rowland of North
Ebensburg
of Munster, Ceres; Mrs. W. A. Parrish
of Cresson, R. D., Flora; Miss Tillie
Jones of Wilmore, Pomona;
McMullen of Loretto, treasurer; Mrs.
Gust Abel of Hastings, chaplain; Ed-
ward Jones of Wilmore, E. J. Westrick
of Patton R. D. and W. A. Parrish of
Cresson R. D., executive committee;
Edward Sutton of Munster, Alex Stritt-
matter of Bradley Junction an dA. B.
Kirsch of Nicktown, finance commit-
tee.
The resolutions committee, composed
of Mrs. Edward J. Weise, Mrs. Mellie
Edwards of Ebensbdrg, J. Norman
Griffith of Ebensburg R. D., Lyman
Sherbine of Wilmore and W. A. Par-
rish, reported two resolutions which
were adopted by the gathering. One
endorsed County Farm Agent H. C.
McWilliam of Ebensburg, to be secre-
tary of agriculture in the cabinet of
Governor Pnichot and the other ex-
tended the thanks of the grange to
Edward Jones of Wilmore, for six years
the master of the organization and for
many years an active workers in grange |
affairs.
Sessions were held both in the mor-
ning and the afternoon, the election
and installation of the officers tak-
ing place at the latter session. Only
routine business was transacted at the
opening session.
A discussion of Government by E.
Lowry Humes, former United States
attorney, was a feature of the after-|
noon session.

FORMER PATTON
MINISTER KILLED
Rev. D. G. Felker Hit By Stray
Shot While Hunting In
Centrz County.
The Rev. D. G. Felker, pastor of the
Emmanuel Baptist Church in Clear-
field and for a number of years Pastor
of the Patton church, and well known
to many residents of the north of the
county, was almost instantly killed on
Tuesday morning when a stray bullet
struck him in the back while he was
hunting with a party of Clearfield men
in Rush township, Centre county.
Origin of the fatal shot is undeter-
mined.
Rev. Felker, one of the watchers with
his party, had just fired two shots at
deer driven up to him by other mem-
bers of he party. A third shot was
fired and Rev. Felker was seen to fall.
No other member of his group had
fired a shot.
Heavy Lovin’, Heavy Gales
of Laughter in “Heads Up”,
At Grand Theatre This Week
Rum-smuggling villains; smug, grum-
bling dowagers; heavy lovin’ and heavy
laughin’—these are some of the fea-
tures of “Heads Up,” the frolicsome
romance with music which will be at
the Grand Theatre on Friday and Sat-
urday.
Charles Rogers, who made such great
musical achievements out of “Close
Harmony,” and “Safety in Numbers”
is seen in the leading role of “Heads
Up” as the youthful graduate of the
Coast Guard Academy who is sent
aboard a private yacht to get the gods
on its captain who is suspected of deal-
ings with rum-runners at sea.
Aboard the vessel Rogers gets better-
acquainted — with Margaret Breen,
daughter of its owner. He had met
Margaret, a very comely debutante, at
the graduatoin exercises of his acade- |
my and had fallen for her in a big
way.
There are a number of thrilling
episodes—and a number of hilarious
ones as well, before the picture reaches
its serene haven of a lovers’ embrace.
The comedy support is headed by
Helen Kane, the “boop-boopa-doop”’
girl herself, and Victor Moore, the
Broadway musical comedy veteran who
was her partner as the Med Show
Doctor in “Dangerous Nan McGrew.”
AGED 36, SUCCUMBS
Mrs. Mary (Brodossky) Maczko, aged
36, wife of John Maczko, passed away

ward, Agnes and Matthew, all at home.
She was a sister of John Brodosky,
of Patton, and Joseph Brodosky, of

One of our intelligent Juniors, Doro-
thy Cartwrightt by name, when tell-

once had, said “Gee! What a good
time we had, we all went to a Carni-
val and had a circus.”
One day an item was found on the
assembly room floor. The author seems
to be in favor of bigger and better,
vacation’s. Wonder just how many of
the faculty agree with Peg Gwynn’'s
ideas of “hookey playing.” It reads:—
We should play “hookey” because it is
a vacation from the regular hum-drum
school life. You mean to tell me that
when a student has attended school
for twelve solid years he hasn't the
right to take a half day off if he feels
like it. That is the point upon which
we do not agree. If you've never play-
ed hookey you don't know the sensa-
tion you get. Your life is in danger
until you find out whether or not
you're been caught. It's a wonderful
feeling.
