PAGE TEN UNION PRESS-COURIER Thursday, July 10, 1947 County Democrats Indorse Full Slate For Fall Primary (Continued from Page One) decided to run for Commsisioner. The move left open the way for McCloskey to enter the race for treasurer, McCloskey's indorsement is in line with the statement issued re- cently by Sheriff McDermott that none of his deputies could be a candidate for county office with- out the indorsement of the county committee. The action of the committee on Tuesday night apparantly leaves Deputy Sheriff Francis McKinley, Lorain Borough, no alternative, in view of Sheriff McDermott's edict, than to withdraw his announced intention to be a candidate for controller. If he remains in the race in the face of McDermott's statement, McKinley necessarily would have to resign as deputy sheriff. The county committee adopted a resolution ‘rejoicing in the fact that the leadership of the Demo- cratic party in the state has turn- ed to Cambria County for its can- didate for judge of the Superior Court and has persuaded Ivan J. McKenrick, Ebensburg, to ‘stand for election.” The resolution con- tinued: “Cambria County Democrats take pride in the fact that there was in their ranks an able jurist, an upright man and Democratic leader of State stature to whom the Democrats of the Common- wealth could confidently entrust their banner in a statewide elec- tion.” In presenting the slate to the committeemen and committee wo- men, the Cambria Co. Executive Committee declared that the slate was prepared only after careful consideration had been given the various potential candidates. The slated candidates, with the exception of DiFrancesco, Hollern, who is ill, and Govekar, spoke briefly. They urged committeemen and committee women to do every- thing possible to bring out a heavy vote at the primary as a demon- stration of Democratic strength. Judge A. A. Nelson also urged party leaders to act at once to as- sure a victory in November. Chairman Torguato assailed what he termed ‘the fake organ- ization in Johnstown.” Assemblyman Lewis Evans, Col- ver, presided during the meeting.

She heard a whis- pered “He's here,” and all of a sudden cold chills had started down her back. The silence that had fallen upon the busy settlers heightened her fear. All morning the steady sound of axes, the laughing and talking of neighbors and the cheerful voice of her hus- band rising above both had kept her mind from this moment that they all expected. The silence dragged into min- utes before she saw the dark figures standing across the clear- ing. In front of him the settlers had fallen back, leaving a space into which her husband was slowly walking. She stiffled a cry as she saw the dark figure raise his rifle slightly. . Teagarden stopped, surveying the man before him. They were both of the same massive build, bronzed by the sun and toughen- ed by outdoor life. There was little difference in their clothes, except that Teagarden’s seemed a bit cleaner and newer. It was in their stance and weapons that the difference between the men became evident. Teagarden was relaxed, balan- ced easily on widespread feet; the other was tense, his hands curled tightly around the rifle. On his hips rested the indispensable kni- ves of the pioneer, one for hunt- ing and one for scalping. Tea- garden had none of these on him. His only weapons were his fists and a small hammer which he held loosely. , “Get off my land, Teagarden,” the intruder ordered, raising his rifle to shoulder height. “I'll count to 10, and you had better be moving.” Teagarden took a slow step forward, his eyes resting on the man’s face. He had looked into gun muzzles before, and this time he was fighting for his own land. He was unafraid as he spoke quietly on the count of “three.” “Put down that rifle,” he said. You won't stand a chance of leaving this place alive if you pull that trigger. Look around you and you'll see a dozen guns drawn on you.” The rifle man stopped counting and looked at the men behind Teaganden. Each of them had a rifle raised and pointed at him. “All right, Teagarden,” he said. “I'll drop this gun and beat you to slop with my bare hands. I blazed this land and I'm going to keep it.” “Blazing isn't buying,” the other replied. “I bought this land, Big Jack, legally. It never was your land and it never will eo.” Teagarden handed his hammer to a nearby person, watching the other remove his knives. Slowly he backed to the centre of the clearing. He stopped, planted his feet firmly and spoke from be- tween closed teeth. “Now, Big Jack,” he growled, “throw me off my land if you can.” Big Jack circled warily, watch- ing for an opening. Teagarden turned with him, his eyes fasten- ed on the other's face. For a moment his foot slipped on a wood-chip and he instinctively looked downward. Big Jack was on him immed- iately, one heavy fist catching Teagarden over the left ear, the other smashing into his face. Tea- lashed out | with a left, carrying it through | and sliding his elbow into Jack's | eye. He brought his head up into Big Jack’s chin. Big Jack wrapped his arms around Teagarden’s chest, squeez- ing with the strength of a bear. Anything went in frontier fights, so Teagarden broke loose by dig- ging at the other’s eyes. In a moment they were a tangled mass writhing back and forth across the clearing. They bit, scratched, kicked and swung at each other, neither seeming to gain an ad- vantage for long. Their groans and grunts were punctuated by the thud of crushing blows that would have destroyed lesser men. Finally, one of the dusty blood- covered fighters rose and stood over the other. Without moving, the vanquished pioneer looked up. back yard. prices. BACHA “ir you CAN'T STOP, You'll Be Sitting Pretty For the Summer . ..

The voice had been that of Big Jack! Her husband had won, and now the unwritten frontier law would give them the land.s She rushed to her husband. “Wverything is all right now,” he smiled. “Get some water and some cloth. Big Jack and I will have to clean up a bit. Any man who can fight like he can de- serves a drink.” When she returned with the water, the two men were sitting beside each other, surrounded by a ring of admiring frontiersmen. “Ain't had such a good fight in years,” Big Jack was saying. “Me neither,” answered Teagar- den. “Let's be friends, Jack. My jaw couldn't stand another fight like that.” Duff Signs Bill For Community Property Splitting A split-income tax bill designed to save married couples in Penn- sylvania $100,000,000 a year in fed- eral taxes was signed into law on Tuesday by Gov. James H. Duff with a statement the saving “is a consideration that cannot possibly be ignored” The measure, establishing the principle of community property in Pennsylvania, permits a husband and wife to divide the family in- come and file separate federal tax returns, each for one-half of the family earnings. Twelve other of the states have similar laws. The U. S. Treasury in Washing- ton reported recently that appli- cation of the community property principle to federal income taxes results in savings of 4.8 per cent for couples having an income of $5,000; 15.7 per cent for those hav- ing $10,000; 22.1 per cent for $15,- 000, and 28.9 for $25,000. The new law is effective on Sep- tember 1. Consequently it will af- fect only ' income received after that date and will not apply to in- come for the first eight months of mumbled. » Other provisions of the law: Retain as the property of a hus- band or wife, personal property or real estate owned by either spouse before marriage or before the ef- fective date of the law. Also ex- empted is any gift or inheritance to either. Allow either spouse to convey to the other their share of the community property and in event of divorce each party would re- tain ‘an undivided half interest” in the community property. Color Gives Room ‘Finished’ Look Young homemakers, don’t mope because you can’t completely fur- nish your first home, or apartment down to the last oyster fork. Very few newly married couples can. But you can give the impression that your new home is a superbly finished piece of decorating by us- ing color. A subtle use of color is | most deceiving and flattering. Any her | girl knows what it does for beauty-wise. A dash of properly blended powder, the right shade of rouge, a wisp of flattering eye- shadow make all the difference in the world. Use the same technique with home decorating. Try surrounding the few really good pieces of fur- niture you have with brilliant or daring wall treatment. Paint one wall a rich, spinach green to con- trast with the other walls of lu- scious, mouth-watering Italian pink. This pink has lusty overtones of yellow which gives it the warm- th of ripe apricots. This ground is good for either modern or traditional furniture. Now you're ready to mount your lovely basic pieces af furniture and the brilliant, yet restful wall col- oring ,on the hush of wall to wall texture weave carpeting. A few fine pieces of furniture and a sup- erb wool flooring are “musts” in the major investment group for the young homemaker. Casual pie- ces, accessories and bric-a-brac are frosting and can wait until later. With a colorful treatment for the walls and floors you don’t even miss the frosting. Ashville R. D.

Duff Tuesday vetoed a bill to require all labor unions in Pennsylvania to fiile financial reports and at the same time approved measures extend- ing from 44 to 48 hours the max- imum work week for women and guaranteeing females pay equal to that of men for the same work. Duff rejected the financial pro- posal on the grounds that it would be “punitive” and said it would come within the prohibition of special class legislation. “The bill furnishes no clue as to what evid is sought to be cor- rected,” he said, ‘nor does it in- dicate of what value the know- ledge of the financial status of the labor union would be in cor- recting any condition. No good purpose would be served by the bill and it would place labor un- ions under the necessity of an immense amont of bookkeeping for no apparent reason.” The bill was the first of 10 labor measures opposed by the AFL and CIO which Duff vetoed. The new women’s law permits females to work on night shifts and extends the maximum work week from 44 to 48 hours and from five to six days. The women’s work bill lowers from 21 to 18 years of age the minimum age for employing a woman after 9 p. m. The equal pay bill was opposed by the CIO and AFL on grounds that a clause permitting differen- tial pay for type of work, avail- ability of employment, seniority and skill would make the mea- sure worthless. Cambria County's Accidents Soar During Past Month 32 Top Figure in Road Mishaps for Two Years The highway accident rate in Cambria Co. reached a record high during the month of June, according to Cpl. Frank O. Lease of the State Police Detail sta- tioned at Ebensburg. A total of 32 accidents—more than in any previous month this year or last—were investigated by the state officers. There were two persons killed and 20 others injured during June. Property damage, in which 58 cars were involved, amounted to $13,615. The accident toll for the first six months of this year stands at 158 as compared to 125 for the same period of 1946. Property damage for the year so far is pegged at $68,926, as compared to $55,145 for the comparable period of 1946. Eight persons have been killed on roads in the county so far this years while nine lost their lives in the first six months of 1946, and to date 112 have been injured while there were 14 less than that involcved, amountel to $13,615. | Cpl. Lease blames excessive speed for existing road conditions | as the cause of nine accidents in , the month of June. He attributed | six others to failure of motorists | to keep to the right. | Four wrecks resulted because | drivers illegally took the right- | of-way and seven were caused by | miscellaneous factors. Pedestrians { were involved in two accidents | and three were hit-run affairs. A { total of 17 happended in the day | light hours and the rest occurred at night. Religious Units At St. Francis In Separate Group A complete separation of St. Francis College from the religious groups affiliated with it has been announced by Very Rev. Father Adrian Veigle, TOR, president of the college, who regards it as one of the greatest single moves in the history of the school. The seminary, college and the Franciscan cleric had been a sin- gle unit using the same class- rooms and campus facilities. Un- der the new setup, the religious groups will be separated from the college students in every phase of scholastic activity. Two distinct campus units are now in effect. The former Schwab Estate has been set aside as the religious section and the semin- arians, clerics and novices have established their dormitories and classrooms there. The St. Francis campus will be entirely collegiate. Dormitories, buildings, gardens and other fa- cilities formerly shared by both religious and college groups now are designated for the lay stu- dents. “Under this system,” the col- lege president states, “St. Francis Yardstick for Hearts Studied By Specialists at Philadelphia ‘Athlete’s Heart’ May Be Same As High ‘I. Q. Medical science soon may be able to tell .you as much about your heart as it now can tell you about your intelligence. A group of Pennsylvania spe- | cialists, it has been announced, at present are working out a series of tests to be used in es- tablishing a “C. V. Q.” (cardio- vascular quotient) just as phy- chological tests are used to de- termine the “I. Q” (intelligence quotient) of a child. The tests’ importance is em- phasized by Dr. J. B. Wolffe, dir- ector of the Wolffe heart clinic in Philadelphia, as follows: “Many persons now regarded as ‘poor insurance risks’ actually have excellent hearts. But because doctors have as yet no way of de- termining when a heart is better than normal, they go through life pampering themselves and miss- ing a lot of fun. “We have found many cases in which individuals who were pre- sumed poor insurance risks have long outlived their life expectancy —and sometimes that of the doc- tor who examined them!” That, of course, is not the fault of the doctors or the insurance companies, he adds, because they were forced to be cautious in the absence of desperately-needed knowledge about the heart. “If one child has an I. Q. of 90 and another has an I. Q. of 150, we certainly don’t consider the youngster with superiod intelli gence ‘abnormal’,”” Wolffe says. “He's just brighter. : “In the same way, many per- sons—particularly athletes—with the so-called enlarged hearts, really have better hearts than you or 1.” The new outlook, he says, is an outgrowth of a continuing study on “athlete’s heart.” other colleges throughout the na- tion. Its student Wody will be composed entirely of lay students, and all activities, educational or recreational, will be undertaken exclusive of those members who are pursuing a religious life.” A $250,000 project now under- way at the college will provide additional housing and education- al facilities. will be an institution not i —Jt requires 25 pounds of feed to bring a pullet to laying age. | defendants in the Cambria Co. | suspended sentences or were put | eriminal cases against 21 were dismissed and 10 were freed by juries.

Of these, seven were convicted | by juries and 137 pleaded guilty. Prison terms were given 4433 to the county jail and 11 to state prisons. A total of 27 were given on . probation; 22 got fines or costs only, and support orders were placed on 51. One murder case was disposed of when John R.
