PAGE TWO STATE TREASURER ROSS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT NANTY-GLO AFFAIR State Treasurer T. Clair Ross was the principal speaker following a banquet of several huidred diners last | earne Thursday night in the social hall of St. Mary's Church at Nanty-Glo. The program was in the school hall. Judge A. A, Nelson of Ebensburg, served as toastmaster. Other speakers included Assemblymen Al O'Connor and Dennis L. Westrick, Sam DiFran- cesco and others. State Senator John J. Haluska of Patton, entertained the assemblage for quite a long period with a magician’s performance and will and ably dem- onstrated that his talents are not along political lines only, but that he has “something in the bag.” Treasurer Ross brought many well defined thoughts to the listeners, and stepping entirely out of the political theme some of the excerpts of his dis-~ course are as follows: “Thousands of words are being spo- ken each day—and hundreds of col- umns are being written—across our great land, warning of the dual threat to the American plan of life contain- ed in encroachments of Fascism on one hand and communism on the oth- er. “Dark and foreboding are the pre- dictions of these observers—and not without good reason, perhaps, if we but look across the sea and inspect the contemporary history of half a dozen once mighty nations, “Greed, jealously, persecution — these, it appears, have come to be the motivating influence in a world run amuck in the hands of power-crazed leaders. “The World War and its aftermath —the relentless advance of the ma- chine age and its abundant problem of unemployment — the ever widening economic chasm which separates the hopeful but all-to-few “haves” from the hopeless but plentiful “have-nots” —all these things have contributed mightily to this demand for change in the social and economic order of the world mirrored in these and every scheme whereby restless peoples seek to improve their lot. “We in the United States have not escaped the rumblings of this changing day. But fortunate indeed has been our lot. “The last decade has brought to the United States one of the greatest chan- ges in its social and economic order ever witnessed by any nation—and brought it orderly and without blood- shed, thanks to our democratic system of government and the wise heads which have been entrusted with its operation. “We have fed our hungry, clothed the naked, sheltered the homeless. We have avoided the dole while providing special assistance for the aged ana blind and incapacitated. We have set up great programs of public works in which needy men and women have been able to earn their keep and at the same time contribute to the na- TODAY'S TREATS at your HOFFMAN DEALER'S PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM Luscious with real pineapple, creamy with pur, cream — there's a treat your ly will enjoy.

They said Supt. Theodore Wolluck of the hospital, informed them that the 29 sent to the hospital by the coun- ty had been found eligible for deport- ation. Wolluck asked the commission- ers to pay passport costs and the ex- penses of an attendant. The commissioners, who now pay the state $3 weekly to keep the pa- tients at Torrence, said they would | seek details concerning the costs be- fore making a decision. SHELDON “Schell” C. SCHETTIG. Sheldon “Schell” C. Schettig, Cres- son, announces his candidacy for the office of Prothonotary of Cambria Co., on the Democratic Ticket. Mr. Schettig in doing so, says he has been urged by his friends throughout the county to enter the campaign and that he has been assured of support from both par- ties in the event that he is successful in obtaining the nomination this com- ing September. He further states, upon making the rounds of the county, that he has been receiving considerable encouragement in his efforts to promote his campaign and that if the support he has is confident of securing the nomina- tion. Although this is the first time Mr. Schettig. “Schell’,, has ever aspired to public office, he has within the past few years been quite active in the | rank and file of the Democratic party. Mr. Schettig was born in Altoona, Blair county, June 9, 1900, the son of Albert and Maude Nagle Schettig. When three years of age his parents moved to Cresson where his father en- gaged in the livery business, later in 1914 entering the automobile business in which he is still engaged. Mr. Schettig attended the Cresson Public Schools and at the same time, been | assured of will but follow through, he | ss —— College, Loretto, by a course in | counting. | He has been engaged by various OCRATIC PROTHONOTARY | commercial enterprises in the capaci- | ties of office manager . ,accountant, bookkeeper and is thoroughly familiar with clerical work and office routine, | so consequently feels that his is quali- | ified for this position. tim —————— {FOUR THOUSAND DOL- | LARS’ WORTH OF LOOT | | ———— Clothing valued at $4,000 vanished from an Ebensburg store early Satur- [ day to give Cambria county its second major robbery in which merchants re- | ported finding their shelves virtually depleted of stocks in recent weeks. Latest target for clothing thieves was the Enyeart & Thompson Store, which occupies the American Legion Building first floor. Employees opening shop at 8:30 Saturday morning found 250 men’s suits to have been stolen al- ong with a large quantity of sports clothing, boys’ suits and haberdashry. Police were summoned immediately. A $200 reward was offered by the mer- chants for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the theives.. The theives made entrance at the rear of the building. Fire at Clearfield. Fire swept the $145,000 State High- way garage under construction at Clyde, near Clearfield, last week, and caused damage estimated by firemen to be about $2,000.

But is it? Death from work accidents on farms in the United States last year number- | ed more than 4,300. No other single industry had as many fatal work accidents. Aside from these accidental deaths the farmer is forever exposed, in the summer, to chronic actinic dermatitis. Sounds like some kind of a blight. That is just what it is.
