PATON AES
The “Loyalty to the Church” cam-
Ppaign, in its initial meeting in the
Methodist Church last Sunday evening,
has assured itself of a large degree of
success as indicated by the large at-
tendance present to hear the Rev. Mr.
Thorhauer preach the first sermon of
the campaign. The preacher appealed
to the Christian people of the town to
be “obedient to the Heavenly vision,”
and urged a wholehearted and loyal
support in behalf of this high vision
The service next Sunday evening will
be in the Presbyterian Church. Out of
town preachers and speakers will be
brought in as often as possible, and
without previous notice.
The “Homilope” for August 20 says,
“One of the most frequent and dis-
tressing sights of the depression years
was respectable appearing men and
women approaching people on the
street and asking for help. They were
homeless, foodless, friendless. The
transient churchman or church-woman
is even more deplorable. His or her
spiritual life is not roted in Christian
fellowship and responsibility. He is an
unstable soul. More membership in a
local church does not constitute church |
residency. The test is, Have you claim- |
ed your share of the Father's house |
of prayer, with its Christian fellowship, |
help, comfort, and peace? And are you |
as God's child doing your share to help
others find these same blessings in the |
church? Think and pray over this |

CHARLES M. SCHWAT
HELD NO PROPERTY
IN CAMBRIA COUNTY
Charles M. Schwab, who died recen-
ly in New York City, did not own any
taxable Cambria County property, an
investigation by state representatives
reveals. The investigation was made
by the State Department of Revenue
to ascertain if an inheritance tax
might be collected ,and a diligent sear-
ch was made of all records. This re-
vealed that all Schwab property in
Cambria county was in the name of
Mrs. E. Eurena Schwab, the steel mag-
nate’s wife, who died last spring. She |
willed to Mr. Schwab a life interes:
in the property, which passed to her
other heirs upon Mr. Schwab's death.
Charles M. Schwab was not regis-
tered as a voter of Cambria county,
claiming New York as legal residence
although for many months each year
until the last few years, the Schwab's
had occupied their mansion, “Immer-
grun,” Loretto. The state department
of revenue collects inheritance tax
from estates of non resident decedents
but the recent investigation revealed
that no such tax could be collected
from Mr. Schwab's estate.
Raymond Kirby, chief investigator,
and and inheritance tax appraiser of
Cambria county; H. S. Bender, an in- |
vestigator and inheritance tax apprai-
ser; Ralph Benford, special investiga-
tor and attorney Robt. Bender, special
deputy of the Department of Justice
—— -
acting for the State Department of
Revenue, all Cambria countians, made
the investigation of the status of Mr.
Schwab’s holdings. |

ney General, and successfully argued |

tornew Knuff and Judge Bard reversed

be unconstitutional.

town, the son of the late John F. Knuff |
and Mary M. Knuff. He graduated
