Railroad Passenger Service In District to Be Discontinued Railroad passenger service into Patton ‘will be discontinued Oct. 5, 1947, according to an an- nouncement by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It's discontinuance has the approval of the Public Util- ity Commission. Only a token number of passengers have rid- den on the line for years.

This discontinuance also will end the delivery of parcel post to Patton and Barnesboro and other towns in North Cam- bria not now served by star routes. After Oct. 4, such parcel post will be hauled by truck be- tween Altoona and Barnesboro, the route running through Pat- ton. The Railway Mail Service is accepting bids for the new star route at their offices in Pitts- Furniture Factory May Be Established In Hastings Boro Hastings residents are making plans for a fund-raising drive in order to induce a furniture man- ufacturing concern to establish a plant in that community . The proposed company would employ about 60 men at the start, with expectations being that as time went on about 2506 might be employed. Residents of the community are planning to finance the com- ing of the factory by selling stock at $25 per share. They expect that it will take about $50,000 to obtain the equipment for the con- cern. Plans call for the forming of an incorporated organization prior to the date the stock will be of- fered for sale. Three different biuldings in the town now are un- der consideration as proposed sites for the proposed plant. A seven-man committee com- osed of Elmer Routch, James Mc- Nelis, Henry Collins, Anthony Fiasco, Paul Holtz, Paul Easly and James Commons, has been named to contact building owners. It is thought that any one of the three sites in mind could easily be renovated to accompany the proposed furniture factory. Under the present set-up, the stockholders would own all of the equipment and moterials and a manager would he hired to oper- ate the plant. Area Landlords Must Register All controlled rental housing accommodations, including rooms, apartments and houses in the Al- toona-Johnstown defense rental area that have not previously been registered, should be regis- tered with the area rent office, Leo H.

The original remains on file at the area rent office, one copy going to the tenant, and the other to the landlord.” Landlords desiring registration forms may obtain them at the rent station located at 124 Main street, Johnstown. The Altoona office will be clos- ed Oct. 15 due to the fact that a further reduction in staff has been ordered because of a cut in budget funds. Mrs. Lillian Batdorf Of Patton R. D.

Patton Clay Mine Output Increased By Electrification Coal and clay output at No. 1 Mine of Patton Clay Manufactur- ing Co., Patton, has increased ap- proximately 25 per cent since the mine was modernized early this year. William Nelson. foreman of the operation, said conditions at the mine have improved greatly and the only holdback fo further pro- duction now is a shortage of mine cars for use in hauling coal from the mine. _ Prior to beginning the modern- ization program in Oct., 1946, coal and clay products were mined by band and transported by mule haulage. With the installation of mine machinery and electric locomotive production has increased to near- ly 300 tons of coal and clay each ! da three months. Excavation for the work already has been started. An up-to-date ventilating system also is being installed. New buildings constructed at the mine include a Diesel gener- ator house, foreman’s office and several utility buildings. A 5,000 gallon storage tank for fuel oil Bud tank casing also were erect- ed. Located five miles north of Pat- tn. Win 1 mine is in very good Col 0. © prime ‘quality coal .is Tales PRA Forde) ou one-half foot thiclk seam and the clay seam is 86 to 42 inches in thickness. In 1945 the mine won an aw- ard given by the National Safety Association for an outstanding safety record. The Patton mine ranked third in the bituminous group in the United States ana second in Pennsylvania. When the modernization pro- gram was begun, installation of new machinery was delayed for several months by a scarcity of parts for the Diesel generator. | Most of the coal and clay pro- duction of the mine is utilized by the Patton Clay Manufacturing 0. Mr. Nelson said relations be- tween management and the min- crs also have improved since the modernization program went in-| to effect. Thirty men are employ- ed at the operation. 46 Mines Sealed By State So Far Pennsylvania's anti-stream pol- lution campaign thus far has been, responsible for the sealing of 46 abandoned bituminous coal mines. The sealing program has been going on for a year and only recently was begun in Cam- bria and adjacent counties. Dr. Norris W. Vaux, secretary itary water board, also has an- itary water board, also hah an- neunced that six air shafts in Western Pennsylvania have been sealed. The sealing program, adminis- tered in this area from a branch office in Ebensburg, is designed to prevent air from entering an abandoned mine, thus precluding chemical action to form acids in the mines.

Hunting Accidents Due to Rise Soon Treat All Guns As If They Are Fully Loaded The hunting season also is the open season for firearms after a low of 119 in April, the National Safety Council reports. Most old-time hunters do not need these tips to avoid mishaps, nor do a lot of beginners. But some do. Here are the tips: 1. Carry your gun pointed to- ward the ground and on safety. See your target clearly before pulling the trigger. 2. Break, breeches of guns be- fore climbing fences. Hand them across to a companion. Don’t lay a loaded gun on the ground er poke it through a fence. Check the barrel for snow or mud be- fore firing. 3. Wear a bright coat—prefer- ably red—in the woods. Never wear white. Never stand up to shoot from a boat. Dont shoot at rocks or water surface. 4. Never carry loaded guns in your car and don’t mix horseplay with hunting. Drinking and hunt- ing don’t mix either. Co.
