Farabaugh, prominent public-spirited resident of Carroll- town, needs no introduction. Since 1910 he has served more than 20 years as burgess of the community; he is a widely-known photographer, and he is promin- ent as a sportsman. These are things he is known for today. But people of an earlier day know Mr. Farabaugh also as a printer's helper, as a school teacher, and as an operator of a meat market. Mr. Farabaugh is a member of a pioneer Northern Cambria Co. family. He is a son of Joseph and Annie (Conrad) Farabaugh. He is the present burgess of Carrolltown. He graciously con- sented to fill the unexpired term of James Callahan when the lat- Varied Occupations 8 | i the county payroll for the past 17 years and at the time of her | 5 | : | (Farabaugh Studio Photo) ter resigned more than a year ago. The burgess also served many terms through election since he first held that office in 1910. Altogether he has served more than 20 years spaced out through the years since that time. Mr. Farabaugh also is serving his second commission as justice of the peace. At the age of 32— in 1910—he succeeded his father as photographer in Carrolltown. However, he had worked with his father for eight or 10 years be- fore that. Mr. Farabaugh located in his present quarters on East Carroll Street in 1920 after his studio was destroyed in the fire at the Stich Building (located where Westrick Motor Co. now is).

The job of putting it together will take an estimated four to six weeks, or possibly longer. The cleaning plant is expected to be completed about Apr. 1. Mr. Russ says the giant drag- line will be equipped with an 850- h.p. diesel-electric motor. It will be able to move 15,000 cubic yards of earth or coal in day. The machine will be able to undercover coal with an over- burden of 75 to 80 feet. Two men are needed to operate it on each shift, with the schedule calling for three shifts a day with a view of producing 1,000 tons of coal in 24-hour period. The fuel will be loaded at the PRR siding in Ashville and sold on a local level to truckers. The Cavalier Coal Co. has ec- quired 3,000 acres of land suit- able for strip mining. The firm also has rights on some lower seams but has not plans for en- gaging in deep mining. Directors Decide Dean Twp. Schools To Work 2 Shifts May Open Richland School By Next Week For the time being, the grade school students from the Dean and Dysart areas will have school only 4% hours a day. This plan was worked out at a meeting of the Dean Twp. School Board on Monday evening, with the aid of County Superintendent of Schools Dr. A. M. Stull and his assistant, Daniel Auchenbaugh. The grade school at Dysart was completely destroyed by flames on Tuesday of last week. In order to accomodate some of the students, plans were made for the reopening of the Rich- land School, which has not been in use for some time. The pupils from both Dysart and Dean will attend the 4%; -hour daily sessions. Children from Dean will attend classes from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., while pupils from the first to third and sixth to eighth grades from Dysart, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Naylor and Mrs. Ella Gregg, will attend classes from 12:30 to 5 p. m. Fourth and fifth grade students from the Dysart area will be instructed by Mrs. Georgetta Kruise of Irvona at the Richland School from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. daily. Transportation schedules have been worked out so that students will reach school on time and be returned to their homes shortly after classes have been dismissed. Leslie Reghetti, president of the school board, said schedules will go into effect as soon as the {desks can be moved to the Rich- land School. It is hoped to have all students back in classes by next week. .

Blood Center Set-Up Explained At Kiwanis Meeting Rev. George T. Fitz Cites Need for Program The Rev. Georgc T. Fitz, pastor of St. John's Evangelical and Re- formed Church, Johnstown, was the speaker at the weekly dinner meeting of Northern Cambria Kiwanis, held in the Commercial Hotel, Patton, on Thursday, Mar. Rev. Mr. Fitz, representing the Cambria Co. Chapter of the Am- erican Red Cross spoke on the “Blood Bank” project which is being sponsored by the Red Cross. The speaker brought forth many interesting and informative facts concerning this project. He said in part: “There is not enough blood plasma to meet the tre- mendous needs of the country. Only 35 per cent of the hospitals in the United States have blood banks. Commercial blood banks have not proved feasible. They are too costly to operate as a private enterprise. The ultimate cost to the Red Cross when the project is in fuil operation in all states will be 25 to 27 million dollars per year. The cost will be divided between the local units and the National Red Cross. What can we do? (1) Acquaint ourselves with the program and support it. (2) Promote the movement among our friends (3) Give blood. Any healthy per- son between the ages of 21 and 59 may be a possible donor. The philosphy back of the “blood bank” is the philosophy of the Red Cross—it is both humanitar- ian and American.” Guests present at this meeting were: W. S. Jeffries, of State College, former Lt. Gov. of Dis- trict 8, Kiwanis; J. H. Wheeler, also a professor at State College; and Mr. Sam Rickets of Patton, Kiwanian Henry Columbus will present the program at the next meeting, Mar. 10, to be held in Commercial Hotel, Patton. 10-Co.

To avoid an increase in mil- lage, commissioners slashed pro- posed expenditures, in the capital outlay category, will come due this year.
