PATIN BRS |
Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair Montieth, of |
Magee Avenue, Patton, announce the |
marriage of their daughter Mildred, to |
Mr. Robert Edward Graham, of New-
|
|
ville, Cumberland county, last Satur- |
day, February 18th. The ceremony was
performed in the Presbyterian Church
at Stewartstown, Pa., by the Rev. Tol- |
bert D. Hewlett, pastor, a cousin of!
the bride. The bride was attired in a
costume of honey biege, with brown |
accessories, and a corsage of yellow |
roses. Mr. Graham is a son of Robert |
and Margaret (Maxwell) Graham, and |
is associated with the Shank and Bow- |
man Canners at Newville. Mrs. Gra-
ham, a native oi Patton, is a teacher
in the Revloc Public Schools.
One of Patton's landmarks, the
Patton Hotel, soon will pass into ob-
livion, it was learned when Walter
McCoy post tl4, American Legion,
owner of the structure, advertised for
bids on razingthe three-story frame
building. The hotel adjoins the side of
the Legion Home and probably will be |
used as a parking lot by Legionairres.
The hotel was condemned some time
zgo as a fire hazard by Fire Chief
James Blake of this place.
The structure was erected in 1893,
the year the borough of Patton was
incorporated and was originally owned
by the Mellon family of Patton. For
several years after it was built the
property was used for business pur-
poses, the ground floor being occupied
by the Kusner & Mirkins general store
and Gallagher's Racket Store. . The
second floor housed the Patton Opera |
House and also was used for dances
and entertainments of various kinds.
In the spring of 1894 the first Patton
Borough caucus was held in the build-
ing, Republicans and Democrats meet-
ing to formulate slates. The meeting, |
however, broke up in a row with nei-

A few years after its erection the

Attorney W. F. Dill of Barnesboro
was speaker at the regular weekly
meeting of the Northern Cambria Ki-
wanis Club at the Brandon Hotel in
Spangler on Monday evening discuss-
ing the “Lives of Lincoln and Wash-
ington.” Twelve officers of the Patton
Aerie, No. 1244, Fraternal Order of
| Eagles, were guests at the meeting.
Mark Brown, secretary of the Aerie,
presented a check for $130.75 as the
receipts turned over to Kiwanis from
| a jointly sponsored dance. The money
is to be used for underprivileged chil-
dren and for the health camp promot-
ed by the Kiwanis Club. George A.
Clark of Hastings, accepted the check
i on behalf of the club. Group singing
was conducted by Henry Clarke, Bar-
nesboro. John Foreman, president of
the club, was in charge of the meet-
ing.
Dudley R. Lansberry, state dog law
enforcement officer, has asked this pa- |
per to announce that a drive will be
i launched within the next few days to
rid the Patton district of unlicensed
and stray dogs, and also reports that
numerous complainis have reached
bim of the nuisance of dogs running
at large in the borough both with and
without licenses. Dogs running at
large without licenses will be destroy-
ed. Owners of licensed dogs that are
permitted to run at large will be sub-
ject to fines or imprisonment. The fact
that your dog has a license does not |
give you the privilege of having him
run at large. The fact that the dog
| Yaw investigator came into Patton and
found conditions just about as the
letters written his department told
about, also means that the Department
also means “business” in Patton, and
{if You own a dog, you had better be
| heedful of this warning.
There will be a special meeting of
Cambria Republican
members who hold cards and for those
| who have applied for membership on-
ly. They are urged to be present.

BOARD’S ACTION, PRINCE
GALLITZIN SCHOOL DIST.
IS TERMED AS LAWFUL
Central
Declaring the Prince Gallitzin Sch-
ool District is legally constituted and
that the directors have acted and are
acting within their legal rights, Attor-
ney N. A. Malloy, counsel for the offi-
cers and members of the board, Satur-
day filed an answer in the office of
Prothonotary John L. Hite to the eq-
uity suit through which opponents of
the board sought to have its acts de-
clared illegal.
Mr. Malloy contends that the dis-
trict was legally formed as the result
of an election held in November, 1937,
at which time the voters of Allegheny,
Munster and Clearfield townships and
Chest Springs and Loretto Boroughs
voted for the merger. Since the dis-
tricts were created the boards of Alle-
gheny and Munster townships have re-
fused to attend the sessions of the
Prince Gallitzin board, asserting thru
their counsel, Attorneys Frank J.
Hartmann and Randolph Myers, that
the new board was illegally created.
The board was created in accordance
with the Act of Assembly of 1933, Mr.
Malloy points out, which act, he de-
clares, has been upheld as constitu-
tional law by the Cambria County
Court. He asserts that residents of
Allegheny and Munster townships have
ry Prices
as they contend, they voted for the
merger under the apprehension that
the five school districts would have to
be combined.
“Misapprehension,” Attorney Malloy
contends, constitutes “ignorance of the
law,” which he asserts is no defense.
The case will probably be further
aired before the Cambria county court
at a date to be fixed later,
no right to attack the board because, |
JAMES BUDGET
CUT FIVE MILLIONS
Harrisburg — Governor Arthur H.
James informally handed a 370 million
dollar budget to Pensylvania legislative
leaders last Thursday, who flatly ad.
vanced the proposition the state's fin-
ancial crisis can be met only by sharp
reductions in the cost of relief and
subsidies.
The capital sparkled with official
drama as the Governor returned from
a brief vacation to meet with his cabi-
net and ranking legislators and ad-
vised them that he would attempt to
run the government for the next two
years on 370 millions, some 70 million
dollars less than would be needed on
the basis of current expenditures.
The Governor arrived at his budget
figure by earmarking 100 million dol-
lars for direct relief and 39 million
dollars for categorical assistance.
Mr. James plan is to provide sufe
ficient funds to carry the staggering
relief burden at least a year so that
trends may be studied more accurately
if more money must be raised through
a suecial legislative session in 1940.
A member of the House Ways and
Means Committee at the same time
revealed estimates of state revenue
from both normal and emergency tax-
ation have fallen off 18 millions over
that for the last biennium to $369,739-
502.
This nevertheless will give the new
administration a balanced budget. The
balance will have to be maintained,
however, by additional income if relief
costs are allowed to continue at the
rresent rate.
