Such has been demonstrat- ed here within the past few weeks by the cleaning up of Fairview cemetery, and really converting it from landscaping far from pleas- ing to the eye, to something that already is akin to beauty. But, the bigger issue behind the cleaing up movement is the foundation of an organization to insure the perpet- uity of the care of the burial place. We congratulate the promoters. ® ¥ ¥ Since we are on the subject of cemeteries, it might be well to mention also that this newspaper was the recipient of a letter, un- signed, from over at Chest Springs, deploring the condition and practically complete lack of attention given the old Methodist cemetery there, The writer was wondering whether anyone, any- where, might do anything about conditions there prior to Memor- ial Day. We doubt whether there was anything done. Movements of this kind must come, natural- ly from either the people who have a direct interest in the cem- etery, or from a point of civic pride on the part of the residents of the particular community af- fected. * % ok We know that there are many of the younger people who live in this vicinity who are not even aware that there are two ceme- terfes in Chest Springs, and see and know about only the Catholic cemetery, which from casual ap- pearance is well preserved. But NOTICE! After June 15th "Joe's Cut Rate Store WILL BE LOCATED NEXT TO MYERS BUS STOP PHILADELPHIA AVE., BARNESBORO \ the lady who wrote tells us that cnce there was a church on the old Methodist Cemetery plot, and that there are several war veter- ans interred there—mainly of the Civil War. We must confess that, although we at one time were cog- nizant of the cemetery, we had completely forgotten about it. Be- cause there are soldiers who de- fended their country—and ours— buried there, maybe there can be a movement of some kind institu- ted soon by the ex-servicemen, or up the condition. What say? * kx The Patton Fire Company this year again is rejuvenating an old time Patton custom—that of promoting a Labor Day celebra- tion. There's no reason why it can’t be done—no reason why it can’t be produced on a scale that will be a credit to the commun- ity, and bring back into actual- ity the old slogan “Patton on Labor Day.” * k x The movement 1s now under way for the celebration and commit- tees have been named to supervise all the angles for a successful af- fair. Maybe to some of our local folks, early June appears a slight bit early for a promotion of early September. That is fallacy. Only by well-planned, careful and long- time preparation can any com- munity large-scale event be made completely successful. Anyway, “Patton on Labor Day,” once more becomes a timely slogan and about it as the weeks roll on. obaut it as the weeks roll on. * %* ¥ From what we read in the pa- During Our Opening, Joe's Make Reductions Up to 25 Percent on Entire Stock.

However, we can also glean from political col- umnists that the Republicans in Johnstown, and out in the coun- ty, as well, are not in har- mony by a long shot. So that makes things even. There isn’t any indication at this time that primaries in either party are go- ing to be without ilares. Bk ok Politics seem to be uppermost always in the minds of the politi- cally-minded, and there are a lot of folks who are “that way” who uever had any thought of making politics pay personal dividends. A lot of these folks are the dyed- in-the-wool partisans, who would vote for Satan if he were on the party ticket, who would turn ag- aist home-town friend and neigh- bor, just as a matter of political- breeding—but in the main they are the exception, not the rule. We have them in every community. * ok But we suppose that's the way people of ‘that trend of mind want to live—and die. They are probably happy. What a candi- date stands for, what he has ac- complished in the past, has no bearing at any election. If he happens to bear the opposite party label, he’s tuboo. Being out of politics now, the writer can view these dttitudes with a de- gree of amusemeXt. And to the independent voter, folks of this "SLEEK" We Operate On DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!

We have them here in our own community, and they are to be found in every voting precinct, everywhere. Think a bit and you can picture some neigh- por of yours, we are sure, who fits the picture. * kk Intelligent voters, the kind who really control elections, are those who place men and issues above everything else in casting their ballots. But, even they, at times, prove themselves uninformed in the manner in which they possi- bly vote against their very own interests. This type usually con- fesses their mistakes—after it is too late. wok Xx It may be a bit too early to forecast what will happen House Bill 800, down in these last days of the present legislative session at Harrisburg, but if it becomes law, there's going to be lots of folks in Pennsylvania who will wish they had voted for other legislators. This bill will, if it be- comes law, empower local tax- ing authorities to levy taxes on anything not now taxed in the home communities. It could be a wage tax, a sales tax, most any kind of a tax, and it wouldn't be uniform. Hastings could levy dif- ferent taxation than Patton, and Patton one different from Car- rolltown, and all the Townships in-between have some other kind of tax. It’s the kind of home rule legislation that would cause blanket resignations of councils, supervisors and school boards. And we have people hereabouts who are so busily engaged wat- ching Washington and Harris- burg emasculate union gains, and glorying in it, that they are too blind to see what is happen- ing so much closer to themselv- es. You had better pray Gov. Duff’s broader home taxing pro- gram never becomes law. Glasgow Notes By JANET C. KUHN Misses Dorothy Jean and Ella Mae Frye have gone to Pitts- burgh to spend some time.
