WKENRICK AND CONWAY WIN
IN JUDICIAL, SHERIFF RESULTS
Incumbent Jurist Nets Over 5,500 More Votes
Than Englehart; Cy Davis Loses By Over 4,000;
Bonus Proposal Carries State By 3-to-1 Margin
Tuesday's voting proved a ban-
ner day for the Democrats, not
only in Cambria County, but also
in the state, and in most all of
the other states, with the practi-
cally lone exception of New
Jersey. New York State elected
a Mayor of New York City, and
followed Truman's Fair Deal in
sweeping former Governor Leh-
man into the U. S. Senate. Rock-
ribbed Republican Philadelphia
tumbled into the Democratic
column in Row office victories,
and Pittsburgh simply landslided
David L. Lawrene and his Demo-
cratic running mates back into |
office.
Here, in Cambria County,
where the Republicans had sel-
ected their strongest candidates,
and with vigorous newspaper
support by the Johnstown daily
newspapers, the Democrats re-
elected Judge Ivan J. McKenrick
to a third term on the common
pleas bench, and elected John A.
Conway, former mayor of Johns-
town, to the office of Sheriff.
County Commissioner Cyrus W.
Davis, admittedly the best Re-
publican vote-getter in the county
fell a victim by around four
thousand votes.
On local levels, in many of the
boroughs and townships, men,
rather than political affiliations,
were elected to various offices in
great split voting. Around 84
percent of the vote was out to
set an all time record for the
county. The bonus amendment
was supported by the voters in
tremendous majority. It carried
3-to-1 in the state.
Veterans organizations through-
out the county had watchers sta-
tioned outside the polls to secure
support for the bonus.
Despite the fact that all kinds
of irrevelant issues were thrown
into the county campaign, that
Patton Still Eligible
For New Postoffice
Patton, Barnesboro, Gallitzin,
Cresson, Nanty-Glo, Portage and
South Fork are still eligible for
new postoffice buildings, accord-
ing to a report of the Federal
Works Agency (FWA) Public
Buildings Administration, made
this week.
However, Rep. John P. Saylor,
the same as his predecessor, the
late Rep. Robert L. Coffey, points
out that there is no assurance
that these projects will be under-
taken in the near future. The eli-
gible projects were included in
the FWA report without regard
to the time at which they may be
started. Such a list of eligibilities
is required under the Public
Buildings Act of 1949.
Each of the proposed postoffice
buildings would cost less than
$200,000, says the FWA.

R. D. started work in the mines
at 10 cents a day—but that was
back in 1900. He now is in re-
tirement, and spends much of his
time during the summer pursuing
his hobby of growing flowers.
Anthony Lauwarts of
Mr. Lauwarts has a 51-year
record of working in the mines.
He began as a ‘lamp boy” in
Belgium at the tender age of 11,
carrying props and other supplies
to the miners. He said the wage
scale in effect was 1 cent an hour
for a 10-hour day.
Born in Charleroi, Belgium, on
Mar. 21, 1888, he is a son of the
late Bentoit and Rosalie Lau-
warts. The family came to Pat-
ton in December of 1903, and Mr.
Lauwarts has been here ever
since.
His first job in this country
was with the Pennsylvania Coal |
& Coke Corp. at its Reilly Mine
28. He worked in that pit until
operations there ceased, and al-
together worked for the firm for
23 years. Following that he was
employed by the Carrolltown Coal
Co. at St. Benedict, and later by
a number of smaller coal firms.
During all that time he had

Parade, Ceremony
Friday To Mark
Armistice Day Here
All Veterans to Meet
At Fire Hall At 10:00
All veterans of the Patton
area are asked to report in uni-
form, if possible, at 10 a. m. on
Friday at the Patton Fire Hall
for Armistice Day Parade in-
structions.
The parade will get underway
at 10:30 a. m. and will proceed
through the main streets of the
town. The observance is planned
jointly by Walter McCoy Post
614, American Legion, and John
White Post 779, VFW.
Following the parade, a mem-
orial service will be held at the
Grand Theatre. Clergymen of the
town will be guest speakers.
The Patton High School Band
will take part in both the parade
and the memorial service.
Veterans are urged not to let
the laek of a uniform prevent
them from participating.
Checks for $25 will be presen-
ted to the PHS Band by each of
the veterans’ organizations some-
time during the morning.
The Annual memorial service
of the two posts was held Sunday
at St. Lawrence Church.
Rev. Father Benno Brink, OSB,
head of the Benedictine Mission
Band, preached the memorial ser-
mon. Francis V. Huber was in
charge of the military ritual, with
firing squads from the local posts
taking part. The Libera then was
sung, with Rev. Father Joseph
Meisinger of St. Basil’s Church,
Coalport, as celebrant, assisted
by Rev. Father Rupert Stadtmil-
ler, OSB, Patton, deacon, and
Rev. Father More Herald, Hast-
ings, subdeacon. Rev. Father Re-
gis McCoy, OSB, was master of
ceremonies.
Music for the service was
under the direction of Miss Sue
Gill, organist of the parish.
Following the Libera, Benedic-
tion of the Blessed Sacrament
was given, with the same officers
as at the Libera.
Lily Lady Killed
Accidentally When
Gun Discharges
Receives Fatal Pellets
In Arm, Left Side Chest
Mrs. Annetta Allen, 52, of
Lilly was shot and killed acci-
dently by her husband, John Al-
len, on Monday, a few minutes
after Mr. Allen returned home
from a hunting trip.
Mrs. Allen died at 2:45 p. m.
in Altoona Mercy Hospital just
15 minutes after she was admit-
ted for treatment for gunshot
of the left chest and
arm. Hospital attendants said
cause of death was due to the
loss of blood and of shock.
Mr. Allen is under the care of
physicians. He is in a high ner-
vous condition,
County authorities said Allen
had returned home at 1:15 p. m.
on Monday after a day’s hunt in
the woods. He had killed a rab-
bit and entered the Allen back-
yard with the animal in one hand
and a double-barrelled shotgun
in the other hand. As he laid the
animal on a table on the back
porch of his home, his two dogs
began jumping in an attempt to
reach the rabbit. When he tried
to grab the animal from the
dogs’ reach his gun discharged
and pelleds shattered a window
in the kitchen door and hit his
wife on the left side as she
stood in the kitchen. Nearly 150
pellets entered her chest.
Mrs. Allen was taken to a
Lilly physican and immediately
transferred to the hospital.
Doctors in the Hospital tried
vainly in an attempt to save the
mother’s life, but deputy corner
of Cambria County, Richard P.
Wilkinson, said a severed artery
in the left arm caused the lady
to lose a great amount of blood.
A preliminary investigation
will be held later this week if
Mr, Allen’s nervous condition
permits.

Commissoners Set
Four Days to Hear
Assessment Appeal
North Cambria Folks
To Be Heard Next Week
The Cambria County Commis-
sioners have set aside four days
on which they will hear appeals
of property owners in regard to
1950 property assessments.
Appeals of North Cambria resi-
dents will be held in the Ebens-
burg Courthouse on Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week, Nov. 15
and 16. Residents of Johnstown
and south county districts will
appear at the judges chambers in
the U. 8S. National Bank Bldg.
Johnstown, on Nov. 22 and 23.
The four-day schedule is ex-
pected to provide sufficient time
for commissioners to give proper
consideration to all complaints
this year. Only about 100 prop-
erty owners have filed notice of
their intention to appeal. The
deadline for filing such notices is
past.
This year's total is in sharp |
contrast to the large number of
appeals made last year. In Upper
Yoder Twp. alone nearly 300 per-
sons appealed in 1948.
This year’s 100 appeals are
widely scattered with no general
protest in any one political sub-
division. The intention to appeal
has been filed by property owners
in 31 boroughs and townships and
in five Johnstown wards.
The schedule for North Cam-
bria hearings is as follows:
Tuesday, Nov. 15 — Ashville,
Clearfield Twp., East Carroll
Twp., Ebensburg Center Ward,
Ebensburg East Ward, Gallitzin
Borough, Hastings, Jackson Twp.,
Loretto, Nanty-Glo Second Ward, !
