Monastery Fire
Damage Slight
Smoke poured from the Bene-
dictine Monastery in Carrolltown
last Thursday evening but firemen
didn’t do much about it—at first,
When the fire was discovered
at 7:15 p. m., the siren sounded.
Firemen didn’t rush to the engine-
house. They thought the siren was
signalling the regular monthly
meeting of the fire company.
Again the siren sounded. This
time firefighters dashed to the hall
and learned there was a fire in
the monastery.
The fire was confined to a pile
of kindling wood in the furnace
room. The blaze was extinguished
before damage resulted. The entire
building, however, was filled with
smoke.
Rev. Father Flavian Yelinko, O.
S. B., discovered the fire as he was
leaving the building. After the
fire, the firefighters returned to
the hall and transacted business
during the meeting.
Troop 71 Observing
Boy Scout Week |
Rev. Father Nicholas Lesko, O. |
S. B., has been named chaplain of |
Scout Troop, 71, sponsored by St. |
Benedict's Church, in Carrolltown. |
He was appointed assistant pastor
of the church in December.
Father Nicholas, in conjunction |
with Scoutmaster Michael Mich- |
rina, is now helping to conduct a |
series of events marking Scout |
week which began last Saturday. |
The Bakerton Scout Troop was |
the guest at a campfire in the
Carrolltown Scouts’ headquarters
in the basement of St. Benedict's |
church last Saturday evening. En-|
tertainment and a lunch re
Scouts of Troop 71 and Cubs of
Pack 71 received Communion in a
body at the 9 o'clock Mass Sunday |
morning in the Carrolltown church. |
Children of the parish were visit- |
ors at the Scout rooms during the |
afternoon. |
Open house for adults of the
town was held on Tuesday even-
ing, and a court of honor was a
feature of the evening.
The following awards were made
by Scoutmaster Michael Michrina:
Second class—Gerald Behe, Alfred
Eckenrode, Robert Volk, John Kel-
ly, Harry L. Fees, and Ted Bear- |
er; first class—Richard Mohler,
James Eckenrode, Richard Bender |
and Donald Bender. Patrick Fara-
baugh and James Zollner were ad-
vanced to tenderfoot ranks.

while others have to enter poli-
tics to get that way.
Deceased Vets’
Bodies Will Begin
Arriving in Aug.
The tentative date for the re-
turn of the first remains of Am-
erica’s World War II dead from
temporary military cemeteries in
overseas areas is Aug. 1947, the
War Dept. announces.
The preliminary operational
schedules prepared by the office
of the Quartermaster General
contemplates that those who fell
at Pearl Harbor and other per-
sonnel who now rest in seven
cemeteries in Hawaii will reach
San Francisco about Aug. 18.
Those buried in the Henri Chap-
elle temporary cemetery in Bel-
gium are scheduled to arrive at
New York about Aug. 25.
Only the remains of those
whose return is requested by the
next of kin will be brought back
to the U. S. for final burial in
either a private cemetery or a
national cemetery, Maj.-Gen, T.
B. Larkin, Quartermaster Gener-
al of the Army, said in announ-
cing the tentative schedules.
The schedule is based on the
assumption that present casket
manufacturing requirements will
be met, that full-scale deliveries
of caskets will begin in May of
this year, and that deliveries will
continue without interruption un-
til all orders have been filled.
Current estimates are that 80
percent of the recovered remains
will be returned to the U. £. and
that 20 percent will bc interred
permanently overseas. The ac-
curacy of these estimates will
not be known, however, until all
next of kin have responded to
letters of inquiry which are to be
mailed by the Office of the Quar-
termaster General.
Cambria Fair Association
Reelects Old Officers
All the present officers of the
Cambria Co. Fair Assn. were re-
named at a meeting of that body
Monday evening at the fair of-|
fice in the Masonic Bldg., Ebens-
burg.
They are James A. Wilkinson,
president; John Bloom and L. F.
Crouse, vice president; Roland G. |
Davis, treasurer, and Walter]
Good, secretary. |
Plans were made for the 1947 |
fair to be held Sept. 1 to 6. The
directors then passed resolutions |
thanking farmers for their coop- |
eration in 1946 and thanking the
Legion Posts and others who aid-
ed in making the 1946 fair the
huge success it was,

{ Good Conduct Medal,
District 2 Heads
Rap Diesel Moves
Pennsylvania Railroad's conver-
sion from coal burning locomotives
to Diesel-powered engines drew
sharp raps from District 2 United
Mine Workers officials.
John Ghizzoni, of Homer City,
international board member, said
he did not look favorably on the
railroad’s conversion plan.
Ghizzoni said, “Naturally, we do
not look with favor on it, because |
in the long run it will cut down
{the work hours of the coal min-
ers.”
The UMW district officer stated
that “while it may make an im-
provement on the railroad’s ser-
vice, we would like to see them
keep the use of coal burning lo-
comotives as far as possible.”
James Mark, president of Dist.
2, UMWA, pledged the member-
ship of his organization to join in
any legitimate move to prevent
PRR'’s trend toward replacing the
coal-burning engines.
“The Pennsylvania Railroad is
wrong in installing Diesels to re-
place coal-burning locomotives be-
cause it will cause a los of freight
tonnage,” Mark declared.
Hastings, Ashville,
Carroltown Men
Enlist in Service
Three district youths have re-
cently enlisted in the New Regular
Army according to information re-
ceived from Captain F. A. Hinter-
mister, commanding oficer of the
U. S. Army Recruiting Station in
Altoona. These men are still en-
titled to the G. I. Bill of Rights for,
the duration plus six months.
The enlistees are:
Clyde M. Eck, 26, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Cyril Eck, Sr., of Hastings,
enlisted for the Army Air Forces,
unassigned, as a Pfc., for a period
of three years. He has a wife and
son, Lester, residing in Hastings,
and as a boy attended school in
that place. Pfc. Eck is a veteran
| of the recent war in the European
theater and has been awarded the
the Euro-
pean theater medal with 6 bronze
stars, the American theater medal
and the Victory Medal for World
‘ War II.
John C, Campbell, 32, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank B. Campbell, of |
Carrolltown, enlisted for a period |
of three years for the engineers
in the Pacific theater of operations
and it will be noted that Campbell
having enlisted for the three year
period has the preference of choos-
ing his branch of service and the
theater in which he wishes to
serve. If however he does not wish
to make that choice at this station
he does not relinquish that prefer- |
ence but still has the advantage |
of this decided benefit upon arri-
val at higher echelon. Pvt. Camp-
bell has a brother, Robert, in the
Pacific in the Army and during
the war he was a labor foreman
in a warehouse in Iran.
Joe P. Lidwell, 17, son of Mr.
and Mrs. James F., Lidwell, Box
84, Ashville, enlisted for the Army
Air Forces, for a period of three
years as a private unassigned. Pri-
or to enlistment he attended Cres-
son High School and drove a truck
for his father.
Penelec Expands
Rural Services
Electric service was made av-
ailable for the first time, during
1946, to 3,356 farms and residen-
ces in rural areas serviced by the
Pennsylvania Electric Co., accord-
ing to A. P. Isenberg, local dis-
trict manager. Of this number,
1,270 are located in the Eastern
division, which includes the Pat-
ton and North Cambria area.
Extension of Pemelec facilities
to connect these 3,356 new cus-
tomers required the construction
of 476 miles of new lines, 241
being in the Eastern division.
In spite of continued material
shortages, Penelec has construc-
ted 728 miles of line to serve a
total of 5,410 new customers in
rural areas since Oct. 1944, the
date government restrictions on
electric lines were lifted.
It is estimated that an addi-

State Bonus Bill
Reported to House
Would Provide $500
Maximum to Each Vet
The State Senate at Harris-
burg this week advanced for a
vote legislation to restore the
state’s fall primary date for lo-
cal elections.
A soldiers’ bonus bill, sponsor-
ed by Rep. Baker Royer of Lan-
caster, also this week received,
the approval of the House Mili- |
tary Committee and was report- |
ed to the House for action. |
This bill calls for the payment
of a maximum of $500 to 1,300,-
000 state veterans of the recent
war.
The soldiers’ bonus bill has the
backing of the state’s veterans’
organizations. It was amended in
committee to include payments to
some 17,000 Pennsylvanians who
served with Allied armies during
World War II
Royer says he expects public
hearings would be held on the
measure, It provides payments of
$15 a month for overseas service
and $10 a month for service in
this country.
The bonus, Royer says, would
be financed by a bond issue
which he estimates would run as
high ad $500,000,000.

Nanty-Glo Miner Denied
Compensation Benefits
The State Unemployment Com-
pensation Board of Review has
handed down a ruling refusing
compensation to George Radik,
65-year-old Nanty-Glo miner.
Main reason cited was Radik’s
“willful misconduct.” He was re-
ported to have been absent from
his job two weeks without noti-
fying his employer — Springfield
Coal Co.—of the reason for his
absence.
It was held that the lifelong
miner could not receive jobless
benefits after he became unable
to do heavy manual work.
