To afford no disappointment tc those outside the theatre manage- ment arranged with the dancers to stage a second performance, a require- ment filled the first time in the his- tory of these young dancers, and they responded cheerfully.

A first class stage with its handsome new curtain lighting effects, superb costumes, dances up to the min- precision and a beautiful group of young people vivaciously bubbling over with vim and vigor, which the exercise affords. Among them our local dancers played a big part in the importance of the program, and sealed the fact that their ability, and the alertness of Mr. Blatt, the theatre manager, and his efficient employees, are capable to These Extras F ke EE! ® Wicker Clothes Basket ® Guaranteed Electric Iron ® Strong, Sturdy Ironing Board ® Metal Clothes Hamper ® 6 Month’s Supply of Rinso e ® 2 Big Steel Laundry Tubs ; Easy I[ERMS Now it’s EASY for you to own this big, power- ful 1837 model Blackstone Washer—with many, features — sensational superior DRACTOR gives your clothes gentle, safe, thorough washing—FULL SIZE bullet-type 1 STEEL TUB, lined with heavy PORCELAIN inside and out—a new, improved SAFETY WRINGER.

Wolf Furniture Co. Barnesboro LOCAL BOYS DO MAKE GOOD IF THEY HAVE VIM Charlie Blake Is Now Is Ranks of Big Timers In Nation's Drum Circles. The January issue of “Leedy Drum Topices,” a 24 page rotagravure maga- zine, issued by the Leedy Manufactur- ing Co., of Elkhart, Ind, and an authority on leading orchestral accom- plishments, pictures in large detail on its front cover Larry Clinton, director and Charles Blake, Drummer, and cites them as being in the Number One rank of modern swing and sweet swing music. Mr. Blake, a Patton boy, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Blake is well known to most of our local read. ers, and it is with pleasure we publish tlie accompanying story on the inside cf the Drum Topics Magazine, concer- ning the subjects on the cover. “Greatest single swing sensation of the day is Larry Clinton whose pic linest I've ever worked with and their appearance is 100 per cent.” The case of Charlie Blake is another example of “local boy makes good.” To Charlie’s friends here in Patton, they well know that this slogan is gained only through one method, and that is by continued and untiring ef- fort in the work one does, and Charlie Blake has done just that—and his fel- low townspeople share with him his pride in his accomplishments. LORETTO MAN NAMED DEPUTY FOR GRANGE State Master Kensie Bagshaw of Hollidaysburg, head of the Pennsylv- ania Grange, last Friday announced the appointment of Englebert Fara. baugh of Loretto as deputy master of Cambria County and his duties will be to organize new granges and re- crganize dormant units. In addition he is empowered to install officers of sub- ordinate granges. Raymond Neibauer of Ebensburg R. D., master of the Cambria Pomona Grange, announced the appointment of Frank Ropp of Flinton R. D. and Phil- ip Strittmatter of Bradley Junction as representatives of the Pomona master They will inspect books of the subor- dinate granges and assist the state de- puty in his work. The new deputies ture appears on this Drum Topics Cover. Lary’'s coronet and trombone work is outstanding as he fronts his famous “Swing” band. He is one of the most popular composers, arrangers and directors in public favor today. He and his boys played to capacity crowds at Cilen Island Casino all last summer and records have been shattered and re-shattered during his present en- gagement at New York’s International Casino. The recording of this organi- zation are becoming more popular than ever, and the Quaker Oats—Clin- ton N. B. C. Commercial is one of the best on the air. Drummer with this sensational swing band under this swing-sational leader is—you guessed it—none other than Charlie Blake, whose reputation as a truly fine swing crummer is known to the entire pro- fession. Prior to being with Clinton he was with Mal Hallett for many years, playing the finest jobs from the Micsissippi to the Eastern seaboard. Blakes birthplace is Patton, Pa., and his present address is Long Island City, N. Y. He studied drums under Wm. The pipe mill at the Patton Clay Co. Simpson, and uses Leedy equipment will resume operations Thursday. exclusively, of which he says; “The burgh Diocese recalled him as “the ‘most spiritual.minded man I have ever mei,” and one with a “great fund of common sense.” The Pontiff was described as “the Pope of Peace and of the working people of the world” by Bishop Will- iam J. Hafey, head of the Scranton Diocese. Bishop Richard T. Gilfoyle of the Altoona Diocese prophesied Pius XI would “go down in history as Pius the Great.” r “He expounded and vindicated Christian faith and morality calmly, clearly and courageously at a time when men and governments are apa- thetic and even openly inimical to re- iigion and to Christ,” said Bishop George L. Leech of the Harrisburg The Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Loretto, Pa. announce the second monthly Novena of this year, in honor of St. Therese, the Little Flower of Jesus, to begin on Wednesday, Feb= ruary 22nd, and close on March 2nd, This Nevena, beginning on Ash Weds nesday, the first day of Lent, will give to the faithful an opportunity for pre paring for this holy season in a bene. fitting manner.

PENNSYLVANIA DIGNA.- TARIES EXTOL POPE IN VARIOUS STATEMENTS Saddened by death of Pope Pius XI, Pennsylvania dignitaries of the Cath- ciic Church extolled the late Pontiff and called members of the faith to prayer. Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, pre- paring to depart for Rome to assist in the selection of a new Pope, lauded Pius XI as a “valiant defender of the Christian interests.” Gov. Arthur H. James said: “The fortitude and courage with which Pope Pius XI met with many vexing problems x x x have challenged rhe admiration and respect of the en- tire world. The tremendous influence exerted by Pope Pius on worldly affairs dur- ing his 17-year reign was relected in the reactions to his passing. Bishop Hugh C.
