The farmers adopted a resolu- | tion voicing opposition to minitary | conscription in peacetime. They also asked for curtailment of su- gar in no-essential commodities so that there might be an ample sup- ply for manufacturing dairy pro- ducts. |ent H.

Lehman of Patton this week issued warn- ings to all those who may be tempted to answer chain letters that sending of such letters is punishable under postal laws. Lehman stated that the fad again seems to be gaining in pop- ularity. One type of letter currently going the rounds states that the Proof of Reservations Must Be Submitted If you want to take a trip to Europe this summer as a tourist, —but there are a couple of “if's” connected with the whole deal. you can get a passport to do so Prothonotary Jack Hite of Eb- ensburg announces that Ameri- cans may visit Europe in 1947 provided they comply with two | requirements in order to receive | passports | 1. They must have confirmed round-trip transportation reserva- tions. 2. They must have confirmed hotel or other living reservations in such countries and submit evidence thereof at the time of applying for passports. Mr. Hite has received this in- formation from the passport de- partment of the Dept. of State. Due to lack of transportation facilities to and from the ETO, the lack of living accomodations and the shortage of food in many countries, it will be impractical | to abandon all restrictions on the | traveling to Europe this year, ac- | cording to authorities. Many thousands of American citizens in the ETO at present have been awaiting transporta- tion to the State for months, and to permit tourists to travel freely would aggravate the situation. The relaxed passport policy for those who have housing and also transportation reservations plies to Europe, the British Isles and Ireland. Diplomatic and consular offi- ces in those areas are not in a position to assist tourists to ob- tain transportation back to this country if they do not avail themselves of arrangements al- ready made before leaving the States, Mr. Hite says. Many a successful marriage has been knifed by a sharp ton- gue. one who breaks the chain will have bad luck, while those mail- ing copies of the letter to their friends will have good luck. “This may work just the op- posite,” says the postmaster, “for those caught will be penalized under what the postal laws de- fine as the ‘endless chain enter- prise’—an illegal business. Postmaster Lehman points out that such letters should be torn up. Even if they ask for no cash they are still illegal. Cub Pack Entertains Mothers With Program Members of Cub Pack 71 pre- sented an entertainment for den mothers, cub committeemen and visitors last Thursday evening in St. Benedict's Parochial School, in Carrolltown. The program included a minstrel show, a skit by Dick Bradley, Jr., and Christian Boslett, a piano solo by Bede Bender, Jr., and a poem by Gary Messerman. Songs, accom- | panied by Lois Bender, were sung by the various dens. The youthful cubs also displayed bird houses which they built. Committee members and den mothers decided at a meeting after the program to meet the fourth Friday of each month in the parochial school. Wertz Bros. Mine, Dysart, Visited by U. S. Inspectors Further adherence to the fed- eral mine safety code is urged at the Wertz Bros. Coal Co, mine | near Dysart in a report issued | during the past week. The report on the Acco No. 1 Mine was made in a report is- | sued following a recent detailed | inspection. | The report recommended the | use of permissable electric cap | lamps and called for a ban on | smoking in the pit. It also made | i recommendations on explosives. | The Acco mine was acquired | | by the Wertz interests from the | | Laurel Run Coal Co. a short time | | ago. There are 34 men employed | in the pit. | | —— { | ' State Road Deaths At Present on Upgrade | The State Bureau of Highway | | Safety at Harrisburg this week | | reports that there was a 23 per- | | cent increase in highway accident | | deaths in 1946 over the previous | | year. However, the 1,698 persons | killed was still less for any year | since 1928 with the exception of | the war years. {| The bureau reports that 988 of | the fatalities occured in rural areas and 710 in urban centers. This was still 650 less than the 1 2,348 persons killed in traffic ac- cidents in 1941.
