The men, Walter Nissley, of this boro, owner of the bpat, and George Chalfant, of Columbia, were making a test spin when the craft upset. Making a number of dizzying circles Chalfant, who was steering, execut- ed a turn too sharply and the boat upset. Nissley was thrown clear but Chalfant, less fortunate, was struck when it ‘overturned and dazed. Niss- ley swam to Chalfant’s aid and man- aged to get him astride the boat. Meanwhile persons who witnessed the accident watched helplessly as the men drifted through the treach- erous rapids at the old dam where they were seen by rivermen who went to their rescue near Groom's Landing. The boat was saved prac- tically undamaged.

BUSINESS MEN AND THE STATE B. OF IL. APPROVES PLANS MOUNT JOY CAN GO AHEAD WITH ITS FILTER PLANT AND NEW !STORAGE TANK, SAYS THE DEPARTMENT o ———— The Secretary of Health today issued a permit to the borough of Mount Joy, Lancaster county, ap- proving the installation of a mod- ern filter plant and of a new stor- age tank. This borough has its own muni- cipal waterworks and uses the little Chickies Creek as a source of wa- ter supply with chlorine disinfec- tion as a safeguard. This precau- tion, however, for some time has been® considered to be insufficient for the type of water used. In 1921 the Department of Health approved plans for a fil tration plant, which however, was never constructed. Last November at the general election , the borough approved a_bond issue for $60,000 to defray the cost of the new plant, to cover the construction of the new storage tanks and to allow for some extensions to the distrib- uting system. This plant will have a nominal capacity of 800,000 gall- ons daily with the average daily consumption in the town at pres- ent approximately 250,000 gallons. ms Qe en No Sunday Base Ball By a vote of 101 to 99 the House of Representatives today defeated a mo- tion to amend the Sunday Blue Laws to legalize Sunday baseball.

Judge Keller said there is nothing in the act fo prohibit Sunday golf or a quiet game of baseball if these ac- tivities did not interfere with divine worship.
