Mrs. Bertram Is
Buried At Chase
Thanksgiving Day
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Bertram, of Chase, gathered
at their home Sunday afternoon to
pay final tribute to Mrs. Bertram,
who died Thanksgiving Day, in Nes-
bitt Hospital. In ill health for two
‘years, Mrs. Bertram was admitted
to the hospital a week before her
death.
The former Rebecca Steever, she
was born in Dauphin County, Feb-
ruary 17th, sixty-six years ago. Her
family moved to Plymouth when she
was a small girl, and she attended
ried Joseph Bertram, native of
Chase, and they made their first
home in that village.
Mrs. Bertram was a member of
the Huntsville Christian Church,
where she was treasurer of the Mis-
sionary Society for twenty-four
She was active in the Ladies’ Aid
and one of its most expert quilters.
Folks int the community always wel-
comed a dinner invitation from the
Bertrams, for her cooking was
famous throughout the town.
Surviving, besides her husband,
are two daughters, Mrs. Walter Pal-
mer, of Chase, and Mildred, at home;
a granddaughter, and one brother,
Thomas Steever, of New Jersey.
Rev. Charles B. Smith, pastor of
the Huntsville Christian Church, had
charge of the services. Nephews,
Josiah and Emory Stevens, Charles,
Werington and Roy Holland, and
James DeWitt, were pall bearers. In-!
terment was in Fern Knoll Ceme- |
~ Fred Drake, of Lehman avenue,
shot a nice 6-point buck on the
Forkston Mountain, Monday. Fred
and his classmate at Lafayette Col-
lege, Dick Patterson, came up for
the weekend and stayed over for
one day’s hunting. Allen Montross
was also in their party.

building materials, farm imple-
ments. Then came his recent ad-
vancement.
Dollar-a-year Man
While achieving success at
Ward’s, Mr. Stevens’ outstanding
ability has attracted the attention
of various government agencies
and as a dollar-a-year man he has
contributed valuable services to
both the Army and Navy. These
services are so satisfactory that
vigorous efforts were made to have
him devote all his time to the war
work.
As adviser to the admiral in
charge of yards and docks, Mr.
Stevens organized the Navy Pro-
curement Division and set up a
central control office in Chicago.
He has contributed a great deal of
his time as consultant to various
procurement departments of both
the Army and Navy.
A recent Washington dispatch in
the Wall Street Journal, com-
menting on the work of Mr. Stev-
ens for the U. S. Army, said in part:
Army Work Wins Praise
“In a new four-story office build-
ing at Jeffersonville, Ind., the Army
does its buying like a mail order
house. At this depot are’ purchased
all the Army supplies of ‘hard”
lines—cooking and serving equip-
ment, stoves and baking ovens,
hardware, harness and saddles, can-
vas, duck and tents, cartridge belts,
leggings and cordage. Responsible |
for this new organization and in!
large part for enlisting its civilian |
buyers is Rowland S. Stevens of |
Montgomery Ward and Company. |
Brought to Washington to work in
priorities under Mr. Nelson in the
Office of Production Management,
Mr. Stevens explains that the buy-
ing organization of the mail order
house has been paralleled in the
Army Depot. Now a dollar-a-year
man in the WPB, Mr. Stevens may
become ‘civilian chief of purchases
for the entire Quartermaster Corps
in Washington. If he does, it will
be his job to supervise the reorgani-

Tony Hudak, of Overbrook. ave-

zation of other major depots along
similar lines.”
News of Mr. Stevens’ rise to the
vice-presidency of Montgomery
Ward and Company brought a de-
luge of personal congratulations
from high ranking Army and Navy
officials who have been impressed
with his work and who expressed
regret that he cannot devote all his
time to war work.

75.000 Rabbits
Goal For Winter
Game Transfer -
Seventy-five thousand cottontail
rabbits = and an undetermined
amount of ringneck pheasants and
other small game have been set as
the goal for the Game Commission’s
State-wide campaign of live-trapping
and transferring game this winter.
Commission officials, in making
this announcement, said that this
program, whch was first undertaken
popularity but in the amount of fine
stock transferred annually. It serves
a two-fold purpose, they explained,
‘pointing out that game. is removed
only from areas where no hunting
is allowed, such as city lots and
parks, watersheds, institutional
grounds, and other places where no
shooting is permitted, and where
damage is done to trees and victory
gardens. The stock so obtained is
mostly released on areas within the
same county where public shooting
is permitted.
The whole success of the pro-
gram, they averred, depends upon
county-wide organization between
sportsmen’s clubs, Boy Scouts and
local Game Protectors who direct
it.
and 2,100 pheasants were trapped
and transferred under the program.
Trapping - agents, consisting of
Boy Scouts, interested sportsmen,
farmers, and others appointed by
the Commission, will be paid at the
rate of 50 cents: for each rabbit
trapped and turned over to a Game
Protector if the Commission furn-
ishes the traps and 60 cents if the
trapper or organization builds its
own traps under special permit.
In no case will the Commission or
any of its bona fide agents release
rabbits or any other game on lands
contrary to the wishes of the owner
or tenant, and unless public shoot-
ing is permitted.
Town Has Spent
$1,335 On School Band
(Continued from Page One)
the school district, rather than upon
any organization or organizations.
It should not be necessary for any
Association to go: before the tax-
payers individually each year to look
for donations to assist the band.
This .should come out of current
taxes.: : :
However; the Band Parents’ Asso-
ciation is willing to continue to as-
sist by providing music, repairs to
instruments, and if necessary, an oc-
casiona] additional instrument, also
to keep the uniforms in repair.
Below is an itemized list of the
equipment provided by the indi-
vidual parents, and the Band Asso-
ciation, with money secured by so-
licitation through the town, and by
' means of advertising and concerts:
Fifty complete uniforms, Caps and
Capes, $337.50; fifty braided vests,
$200.00; pants and skirts, $271.30;
! three twirlers’ hats, $22.50; batons,
ets., $15.00; used bass horn, $135.00;
used baritone horn, $40.00; instruc-
tion for band (since April, 1943),
$107.00; drum major’s outfit, $25.00;
two color guard outfits, $40.00; re-
pairs to instruments (approximate-
ly) $50.00; music, $50.00; pins (for
graduating band members), $42.00;
total, $1,335.30. 2
Of the above, $277.30 was donat-
ed by parents and other interested
townsfolk, toward the original pur-
chase of capes and caps to start the
uniforms. Many of the parents sub-
sequently purchased the remainder
of the uniform to complete the indi-
vidual child’s outfit.
Very truly yours,
Band Parents’ Ass'n,
Mary P. Ferry, Sec’y.
