Father Thomas
Still Very Active
(Continued from Page 1)
mental in clearing the church of
debt and made many improve-
ments. Now after his long pastor-
ate, he seems happy and relieved
to leave the work and worry of
managing the large parish to his
younger confrer, Rev. Father Fla-
vian Yelinko, OSB.
Even yet, however, Father
Thomas is not removed com-
pletely from the spiritual affairs
in the congregation he once head-
ed. Every Saturday afternoon and
evening he hears confessions in
the parish church.
He has a set routine in his
daily life. He rises between 5:30
and 6 a. m. and spends an hour
in the chapel in meditation before
he says his Mass. After that he
spends more time in prayer and
meditation before he eats break-
fast. During the day he goes to
the chapel often and recites as
many as seven Rosaries in one
day. ,
The rest of the time he keeps
himself busy doing chores around
the monastery. He likes to work
in the garden, prune trees in the
orchard, pick apples and even
help in the kitchen. He used to
work on the monastery farm, too,
but a dose of rheumatism stop-
ped that.
Father Thomas has a keen in-
tellect and is well informed in
current events. Although he is
unable to read because of failing
sight, he scans the newspaper
headlines and gets someone to
read to him the articles in which
he is interested. He also keeps in-
formed by means of the radio.
In spite of his age, Father
Thomas likes to travel. He makes
an annual trip to Baltimore to
visit the eye specialist who has
been treating him for years. He
never refuses to go here and
there when a friend asks him.
The clergyman is fond of base-
ball and is an ardent supporter
of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He likes
a “good game of cinch” too. He
is a brilliant conversationalist and
has a good sense of humor.
Born in Allegheny, now Pitts-
burgh, Aug. 23, 1861, Father
Thomas entered St. Vincent Sch-
olasticate as a boy of 12 years.
Most of his priestly life was
spent in Carrolltown.
After his ordination he served
as professor at St. Vincent and
director of the Scholasticate for
several years. Then he served a
parish in Illinois and later taught
at St. Bede's College, Peru, IIL
After that he did parish work in
Colorado until he came to Car-
rolltown in 1908 to serve the
missions.

Thomas Urges Rock
Dusting at North
Co. Mining Outing
Holmes Association At
St. Boniface for Meet
Mine explosions could be elim-
inated completely if all operations
carried out an adequate program
of rock-dusting, W. Garfield
Thomas said last Thursday even-
ing.
The deputy secretary of the
Pennsylvania Department of Min-
es made the statement in speak-
ing at the outdoor meeting of
North Cambria Council, Joseph
A. Holmes Safety Association in
| £1. Boniface Grove.
Mr. Thomas also reviewed the
state bituminous safety record for
1948 when 1,250,000 tons of coal
were produced per fatality-—the
best mark ever.
A. J. Barry of College Park,
Md., mining engineer for the U.
S. Bureau of Mines, and Charles
E. Fisher of Ebensburg, state
mine inspector, were the other
, Speakers.
Mr. Barry reviewed a disaster
in a Virginia mine which was
caused by “coal bumps.” He also
dwelt on various approved meth-
ods of roof control.
Mr. Fisher explained the cause
of a recent fatal accident in a
Central Cambria County mine.
Mines 12 and 15 of Barnes &
Tucker Company were awarded
the council's safety banner for
July. Despite 41,500 manhours of
exposure, the mines operated
without a lost-time accident dur-
ing the month.
Refreshments and music by the
Dave Birdie Orchestra were other
features of the affair attended by
200 mining men.
Dennis J. Keenan of Barnesboro
state mine inspector, presided in
the absence of Vice President
Richard Todhunter Jr.
The next meeting will be held
on Sept. 21.
Ebensburg, North
Cambria Kiwanians
| Hold Joint Meeting
Northern Cambria Kiwanians
were hosts to the members of the
Ebensburg club at an inter-club
gathering held at the Central Ho-
tel, Carrolltown, last Thursday
evening. Secretary of the North-
ern Cambria Club, Dr. Fred Arble
of Carrolltown, acted as chair-
man ,and the program, in charge
of the Ebensburg club, centered
on a discussion by Mahlon Baum-
gardner, centered on early his-
tory of the north of the county,
with particular emphasis on
Hart's Sleeping Place, and the
later founding of the Catholic
Church of St. Joseph's in the ear-
ly 1830's. Mr. Baumgardner also
touched on the Prince-Priest, Fa-
ther Demetrius A. Gallitzin, and
on the Rev. Henry P. Lempke,
the founder of Carolltown, first
pastor of the St. Joseph Mission
Church.
This week the Club will again
meet at the Central Hotel, Carr-
olltown, and the following week,
Sept. 25, a ladies’ night will be
observed in Patton, following
which the assemblage will attend
a concert to be given in the Pat-
ton Presbyterian Church for the
benefit of the Patton Methodist
Church, which was destroyed by
fire some months ago.
| The Northern Cambria Club al-
so discussed plans for a benefit
baseball game under their aus-
pices to be held at the Spangler
Stadium on Friday evening of
| this week, August 19th, between
‘the Kiwanis Junior Ball Club,
Champions of the Johnstown Ju-
nior League, and the North Cam-
bria Junior Legion All Stars. The
patronage of the general public is
urgently solicited, and a good ball
game should materialize.
| Members of the North Cambria
Kiwanis will meet at the Central
| Hotel, Carrolltown, this Thursday
| at 6 p. m. The program will be
in charge of Cletus Lehmier, vice
president and chairman of the
| Program committee,
| .
| Getting Even
“May I speak to the person
who takes care of jobs for cooks
jand maids?” requested a man
| standing at the information desk
| of the State Employment Service.
He was directed to the proper
place. There he asked, “Are you
the man who sent me a cook
yesterday?”
The interviewer checked his
‘records and smiled. “Yes, I am.”

New Farm Co-Operative Facility
To Open Saturday At Ebensburg
Ebensburg—Another step for-
ward for the farmers of Cambria
County is the way E. J. Fara-
baugh, a dairy farmer of near Lo-
retto, describes the official open-
ing of the Cambria Farm Bureau
Co-operative Association facilities
at Ebensburg on Saturday, Au-
gust 20.
“In becoming partners in this
new enterprise,” Farabaugh, who
is president of the new associa-
tion, said “farmers are actually
doing something to serve them-
selves instead of asking Govern-
ment or others to do something
for them.”
“Through co-operation,” he ex-
plained, “we can purchase produc-
tion supplies and market our farm
products in a way which will
make our farming operations
more profitable. This will give us
more funds with which to pur-
chase many other household and
clothing needs from merchants in
this area. Our new organization,
therefore, should indirectly bene-
fit business in this entire commu-
nity.

ware house, with loading docks

advantage of the facilities and the

“Our association has been es-

climaxed in the evening by the
serving of refreshments and some
entertainment, including the aw-
arding of some ‘sample products.

cilities some time during the day.
