A communication from the assist-

Department was read. It stated that
the cost of repeiring that portion
of West Donegal street, which is

$155.00 and asked if Council was
willing to pay its prorata share.
Council answered in the affirmative.
Burgess Brown reported collec-
gions for the past month as follows

The Street Committee reported
having met Engineer Crawford of
the Conestoga Traction

keeping surface water off the com-

Banquet at Hotel McGinnis
On Thursday evening a dozen
members of the basket ball team
accepted Manager Ben Groff’s invi-
tation and were present to aid in
consuming a very fine menu pre-
pared by proprietor J. W. McGinnis.
Mr. Groff has been managing
various athletic teams here for
some time and he always closes the
season, whether successful or mot
financially, with a feed. All had
a general good time and our only
regret was that business prevented
the pencil pusher from getting his
share of the good stuff.

A CONTINUATION SCHOOL
| FOR PUPILS BETWEEN
| 14 AND 16 YEARS
OF AGE.
There was a factory inspector in
town last Wednesday and after he
visited the cotton mills, Industrial
Works, Grey Iron and other indus-
tries, he informed our school board
that inasmuch as there are more than
twenty employes in our various in-
industries between the ages of 14 and
16 years, this town must open a con-
tinuation school and all persons of
that age are compelled to attend at
least eight hours each week.
Now wouldn’t that ruin your new
Easter suit? Well, it’s true and youn
can’t get away from it.
The matter is now being discussed
by the members of our Board and the
proprietors of our industries and 2
special meeting of the School Board
will be held next Monday evening to
devise some means of complying with
this request.
There are three ways of doing it
First — Employ two additional
teachers and have those employed
between those ages, attend school onc
day a week.
| Second—Discharge all who are 14
| years of age and under 16.
| © Third—AIll the industries go to-
| gether and have less than twenty in
| their employ of this questionable age.
| Another unfortunate feature about
| this compulsion is the fact that this
| town is responsible for all young
people from the surrounding dis-
tricts, that are employed in our in-
dustries. The outcome of the
meeting next Monday evening is
awaited with interest. -

An Easter Dance.
An Easter dance that was very
largely attended, was held in Moun?
Joy Hall on Monday evening. The
hall was very beautifully decorated
with flags, palms and flowers. Re-
freshments were served by Caterer
Smith, of the Central Cafe. The
committee in charge was Thomas J
Brown, Jr., chairman; Dr. A. F. Sny-
der, Dr. O. G. Longenecker, Clarence

Schock, C. Owen Brandt, Ray Keller
and O. O'Neill. The affair was a
big success.

Last Thursday the scribe called
on our former townsman and prineci-
pal of our public schools, Prof. C. E.
Roudabush, at Minersville, Schuyl-
kill county and found him busily en-
gaged in school work ‘“‘up to his
ears.” Prof. Roudabush is supervis-
ing principal of the public schools in
that city, having charge of thirty-
seven teachers in four large build-
ings. This is his second year there
and the schools are making rapid
progress under his supervision. Just
at this time and in conjunction with
{the regular school work, he is pre-
paring for the rendition of the best
cantata ever given in Minersville.
In that section of the coal regions,
and within eight miles of Miners-
ville, we also find another former
principal of our schools, Prof E.R.
Barclay, who is supervising the
Pottsville schools. Prof. Barclay was
one of the strongest principals that
drew a salary from our local board
and it is with great pride that we

On Sunday afternoon Burgess

They came fo town and interro-

of compressed gas for the purpose of
operating the tool to do some letter-

the tank lay.
A big sigh of relief and Mr. Bur-

Mr. Harry W. Myers, better
known “Butch” Myers, was the vie-

was helping to saw wood with a cir-

and Mr. Myers cleaned away the saw
dust and in so doing got too close

to the saw. His right hand was
cut very badly. Last evening Dr

“l had my eyes opened” and ye
sure was the case with a reporter on
this paper a few days ago. After
numerous invitations to look thru the
milk station of Messrs. B. F. Keuff-
was accepted.
A fine one story brick buildinz,
originally built for a bakery, is the
home of this live little industry.
Fresh milk brought direct from the
farm in sterilized cans, is brought
here. The milk was carefully
strained before it left the farm and
naturally one thinks it is pure and
wholesome. ’
However this ancient method of
purifying milk is not altogether sat-
isfactory to this firm and all frosh
milk is forced thru a elarifein
machine, operated by an electric
motor. Clarifying is a scientific ape
plication of centrifugal force which
removes every particle of undgesiy
able matter from milk. No siraine,
or filter can accomplish angthi
like the same result. FE this Sar
fying process the cream is not
separated and nothing is added.
