Boy Scouts put up 1,700,000.
Almost immediately the Office of
Civilian Defense requested the aid of
Boy Scouts of America in helping to
collect scrap aluminum for airplane
construction. Boy Scouts all over the
Nation collected 10 million pounds of
aluminum—eighty per cent of all that
was collected.
Then came the appeal to collect
waste paper. Thousands of tons of
waste paper have been gathered by
them already, and their quest con-
tinues.
As in the last World War the Boy
Scouts are doing those things of
which they are capable to help the
home front in its fight for the demo-
cratic way of life. Scouting prepares
boys for many ‘good turns” and Am-
erica has learned through war and
peace a Boy Scout is dependable.
Winter Sports Said Gaining
Popularity in Keystone State
Reports received in the State De-
partment of Commerce from Pennsyl- |
vania winter resorts indicate snow |
sports are rapidly gaining in popular- |
its and that many persons seem to be |
sudenly “discovering” the fun invol-
ved.
Hotels and inns situated in sport
regions report that their registers
contain names of many new visitors
as well as those of ‘‘dyed-in-the-wool
fans” who return year after year to
get relaxation and exercise.
The Department of Commerce re-
ceives hundreds of inquiries from the
would-be skiers who want to know
where to go for winter activities.
“Winter Sports in Pennsylvania,” a
compilation of location, accomodation
and facilities at Pennsylvania resorts,
is available free of charge from the
Department.
Pennsylvania’s more than twenty
winter sports regions are spread out
all over the state and particularly in
the east and northeast, central, nor-
thwest and southwest.
JOHN CASTEL REELECTED
John Castel was reelected check-
weighman at the No. 4 mine of the
Johnstown Coal & Coke Company for
the first half of the present year. Geo.
Mellon and Frank Gelmini were re- |
named at the No. 2 mine and Conrad
Lenne was renamed at No. 6 mine.
Repair Orders
Most parts of farm machinery have
a serial number. If the part has a
number and it is still legible is should
accompany the repair order. In addi-
tion the serial numbers of the adja-
cent parts should accompany the or- |
| purpose of starting the large pro-
gram of giving instruction to adults.
Laymen will register at 3 p. m. in
the main building at the college and
at 3:30 o'clock Bishop Guilfoyle will
make the address of welcome and will
outline the purpose of the program.
Addresses by Bishop Kelly and Dr.
| Wyland will feature afternoon ses-
sion. The evening program calls for
a group meeting of the Catholic men
under the direction of Boy Scout of-
ficials.
At least 40 new troops are planned
for Catholic parishes in the territory
served by the Admiral Robert E.
Council.
CARMELITES FACE
MONASTERY LOSS
BECAUSE OF LOANS
Forclosure Sale May Be Forced
Due to Unpaid ‘Schwab
Debts of Honor’
Due to the insolvency of the es-
tate of the late Charles M. Schwab,
the monastery of St. Therese of Lis-
ieux, Loretto, may be sold at fore-
closure sale.
This was revealed when Attorney
Randolph Myers, Ebensburg, filed
| suit in the office of Prothonotary J.
L. Hite to have 10 shares of prefer-
red stock of the Penn-Cress Ice
| Cream Company transferred from Mr.
| Schwab, in whose name the securi-
| ties were registered, into the hands
|of the monastery. The Charles M.
| Schwab estate, of which the First
| National Bank of Ebensburg is ancil-
| lary administrator, is also made a de-
| fendant in the suit together with the
|ice cream company.
| The late steel magnate, it is charg-
| ed, had the monastery corporation go
jon 20 notes totaling $20,000 for him.
| The notes, according to the bill of
| complaint filed in the suit, were sign-
|ed by a monastery official merely as
an accomodation to Mr. Schwab, who,
it is charged, represented to the mon-
astery ‘that the use of the name of
the monastery would be temporary
accomodation and that he (Mr. Sch-
wab) would pay the full amount of
the obligation during his lifetime or
provide for the payment thereof in
the event of his death.”
When the monastery official agreed
to indorse the notes as an accomoda-
tion, Mr. Schwab, it is alleged, exe-
cuted in blank an assignment of 150
shares of the preferred stock of the

Three Big Questions
No. 1— What do the people of Patton want to eat?
The Dairy-Dine Menu is practically a catalogue of the Nation's
favorite foods—topping the list are Juicy Steaks, done to a turn;
American Spaghetti that can’t be beat; Hot Cakes and Country
Sausages that melt in your mouth; Eggs, farm fresh of course, and
fluffled up in Dairy-Dine style—all of these are the best sellers and
prepared in a special way, and all served in Dairy-Dine friendliness.
No. 2— When do the people of Patton want to eat?
At any hour of the day or night it’s always time for good food. Ever
have a snack with us after a movie or dance? If you have, you'll
know why the Dairy-Dine is the most popular place in town. Right
now is the time for your first meal there.
