VITAL NEED SOLE
EXCUSE FOR NEW
GRADE CROSSINGS
Harrisburg.—The Public Utility
Commission has indicated its opposi-
tion to the construction of new grade
crossings over railroads except where
manifest need is shown when it dis-
missed the application of Roseto bor-
ough, Northampton county, for per-
mission to construct a grade crossing
The Commission expressed the op-
inion that necessity for the street cros-
sing had not been showm and its or-
der dismissing the application stated:
“The grade crossing problem is at-
tracting increased attention, not only
on account of the character and the
increased volume of travel over public
highways, but also on account of the
large expenditure of money necessary
for the elimination of the crossings.
“The policy of this commonwealth
is not only against the construction of
new crossings, at grade, but extends to
the elimination of existing ones so far |
as practicable. During recent years
new grade crossings, except for indus-
trial purposes, have been constructed |
only in rare instances.
“The courts of the commonwealth
have repeatedly held that no crossing,
at grade, of a highway and a track of
a railroad company, should be permit-
ted except in the case of manifest ne-
cessity.”

GALLITZIN DRUM CORPS
AGAIN WINS NATIONAL
JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
The crack Junior American Legion
Bugle and Drum Corps again holds the
national championship.
The corps of 75 pieces on Monday
successfully defended its title for the
4th consecutive year at the National
American Legion Convention in Chi-
cago. The corps earned a total of 93.2
points to win the championship.
The organization, headed by Dr. A.
M. Bergstein, left the Northern Cam-
bria County mining town last Satur-
day morning and arrived in the con-
vention city early Sunday morning.
They appeared in competition on Mon-
day afternoon. Competition was ex-
tremely stiff, according to a communi-
cation received at the Gallitzin Ameri-
can Legion Home by Dr. Bergstein.
On Monday night the corps parti-
cipated in the colorful Forty Et Eight
| parade and on Tuesday night marched
| in the mammoth American Legion
parade.
| The boys will leave Chicago prob-
{ ably Friday morning and expect to ar-
| rive in Gallitzin Saturday.
Journey to the convention city was
made in the two buses purchased last
| year for the trip to Los Angeles, Cal,
where the corps successfully defended
| their championship The utility
| truck was used to haul uniforms and
equipment.
The party was in charge of Dr. Berg-
stein, organizer of the corps, and Wal-
ter Skagerberger, an officer of the
Cresson American Legion Post. The
corps left Gallitzin promptly at 8 a
m. on Saturday. They expected to ar-
| rive in Chicago about noon Sunday and
will remain in the city until Thursday
or Friday of this week.
| The corps was organized in 1934 by

filmed entirely in beautiful technicolor

| “Four Feathers” is packed with ac-
tion, thrills, melodrama and spectacle
from the opening scene to the final
fadeout. Its story centers upon a young
man, Harry Faversham, who resigns
his commission on the eve of his regi-
ment's departure for the Sudan to join
Lord Kitchner's Army. Faversham is
dubbed a coward by his closest friends
who send him three white feathers.
| He gets a fourth one from the girl he
loves. Determined to retrieve his rep-
| utation, he sets out for Egypt where
he is disguised as a Sengali native.
Thus he is able to reach Kitchner's
army and his comrades, and through
daredevil undertakings and bold ad-
ventures to redeem himself and re-
turn the four feathers.

What could undermine public confi-

the living ndards of most of the
population?
Yet profiteering interests are doing
just this when they manipulate the
markets to raise prices of food and
other necessities, while at the same
time they try to prevent wages from
rising in proportion.
What kind of sabotage is worse than
trying to destroy the laws which pro-
tect the people's security and liberty, |
at a time when the appeals of patriot- |
ism call for the defense of this country
and its institutions?
Yet every indication points to re-

As against such plots on the part o
the enemy within our gates, the CIO
advances a program of true patriotism
and true Americanism.
It calls for stringent measures again-
st profiteeri and for an extension
and strengtinening of labor organiza-
tion, so that American living standards |
may be preserved through increasing |
wages in line with increased prices. |

CONTROL GREATER |
Harrisburg.—The business of regula-
ting commercial motor vehicle regis-
tration and transportation in Pennsyl-
vania—trucks, buses and taxicabs—
has increased from 5300 motor vehicle |
cases brought before the Public Ser- |
vice Commission in the 12 months, |
June 1, 1936, to May 31, 1937, to the |
more than 10,000 motor vehicle cases |
brought to the attention of the Public |
Utility Commission in the eight and
one-half months, January 1, 1939, to
September 15, 1939.
The exact number of motor vehicle
cases handled by the Commission in
the past eight months was 10,205.
These included approval of applicati-
ons for certificates of public conven-
ience, refusal of approval for applica-
tions, action on complaints, and on ap-
plication withdrawn, reports and or-
ders adopted and directed to issue,
certificates cancelled, modified, am-
ended or reinstated, and rules issued
on certificate holders for some infrac- |
tion of Commission regulations.
This increase in commission business |
covering motor vehicle business be-
fore the commission is due to the in-
creased regulatory power given the
Commission by the Public Utility com
mission which became effective June
1, 1937.
