Phone 6431 | WANTED | | ® 1948’ the Signs of Almost Vanishing Race Left Behind in State The question to be decided is whether the county judges ot the county salary board has the pow- er to fix the pay rate of court employees. The same question was asked several wees ago of Judge J. Colvin Wright of Bedford County. That case has been discontinued, Lowever, because of the new suit started Friday before Judge Bell, Friday's hearing did not bring the problem much nearer a solu- tion than it was when it arose last August. Judge Bell heard four attorneys speak briefly, in- structed them to file briefs and said he would hand down an op- inion later this month. The problem arose in August when the county judges ordered pay raises for three court steno- graphers, The commissioners and | the controller said they couldn't approve the raise because a new Act of Assembly deprives the court of power to grant raises. | The act places this power in the (hands of the salary board, they | said. The stenographers, in bringing | their suit, contend that the act tempts to take away the inherent powers of the court. | Attorney R. Edgar Leahey, one of the stenographers whose court | ordered pay raise is being held | | up, represented the stenograph- ers and presented their claims. Attorney Charles Greer, repre- senting the State Dept. of Jus- tice, told Judge Bell that the At- | torney General's Department con- siders the act to be constitution- {al and that therefore the salary {beard should determine the a | aries of stenographers and other | court employes. (Court employ- |ees did not get pay increases in | August when raises were granted {by the salary board to nearly all other county employees.) Attorney Philip N. Shettig, re- presenting the commissioners, did ® 1947s [ore present his arguments in the case. He previously had advised commissioners and Judge Indian Place Names Abound in This Area One of the many phrases heard of Pennsylvania is “land of in- finite variety and unlimited re- sources.” As true as this is today it was also just as much fact years ago when the Indians roam- ed, lived and saw the variety of the state.

McGee was apprehended as hé walked along a street in Colver. He was said to have offered no resistance. The Heshbon man was commit. ted to the mental institution as the result of the death of b54- year-old John L. Carnahan, an- other Heshbon miner. He admitted before to Indiana Co. Courts of having placed a | coal shovel full of hot coals| against Carnahan’s chest and then ripping off the man’s shirt and | noing him over a hot kitchen | | stove. The brutal attack occurred on Apr. 26, 1947. He was lodged in the Cambria Co. Jail until Friday, when he was taken back to Torrance.

From the redmen, we have re- ceived a heritage in Indian place names in Pennsylvanigt—names filled with impressive historical importance. No state in the na- tion is richer in Indian names, or in fact, in Indian history. Many of the names can hardly be recognized as being of Indian origin because the change from the forms they once had. For ex- ample, Salunga is a part of the name Caiquesalunga; Toby came from a part of the name Topi- hanna; Coplay is a derivative of Copeechan; Dagus is a part of the name Daguschonda; Yough came from Youghiohenny and so on through the list of more than 500 names. Some of the names of Places in Pennsylvania may not be of Indian origin at all, but they have been made up of Indian sounds. . The Dept. of Commerce re- veals that there are about 10,200 place names in Pennsylvania, not including names of streams. Of this number about 480 are In- dian names, historic or other- wise. The following counties have In- dian names: Allegheny, Erie, In- diana, Juniata, Lackawanna, Le- high, Lycoming, Montour, Susque- hanna, Tioga, Venango, and Bea- ver should probably be added, as its name is a translation of the the Indian name Tamaque or Am- echk, meaning Beaver. Of the 67 counties in Pennsyl- vania, only 13 of them do not include one or more townships with names of Indian origin: The Allegewi have left behind them a new name—Allegheny— their mounds, and little else ex- cept a legend that they were wip- ed out in war with two invaders from beyond the Mississippi, the Lenape, better known as the Del- awares and the Mengwe, or Ir- quois. The two conquerers divid- ed the territory, the Iroquois go- ing to the Lake region and the No one in town know has as much at stake then, that we're out to s your Ford like we do.
