“No, | want a waiter with brains.”
A fellow from the city was visiting
a farmer near town who had several
tobacco stalks which he grew indoors.
They were so large they had flowers.
The farmer told his city friends it was
a tobacco stalk in full bloom.
The city man said: “How interesting.
How long will it be before the cigars
are ripe?”
A man on West Main street told me
that “Fewer divorces were the rule
when burns on women’s figures came
from kettles and pans instead of cigar-
ettes.”
Frankly, we wish all holidays could

Enos Rohrer was down at Media

quarter of an hour unsuccessfully
searching for a lost ball, when an eld-

to him: “Excuse me, sir, but shall I

where it is?”
A younz chap on East Main street

“Thousands of men are at work
oiling, repairing or resurfacing the
highways in Pennsylvania at this
time of the year,” said S. Edward
Gable, president of the
Auto Club, “and they should have
every possible safeguard. Section
11008 of the Motor code was amend-
ed by the 1931 Legislature in order
to protect tese workers, and also
the motorists themselves. The driv-
er should cut down his speed when
approaching the familiar ‘CAU-
TION—ROAD REPAIRS’ signs,
and continue to move along slowly
and with caution until reaching the
‘RESUME SPEED’ markers.”
Mr. Gable quoted the revised law
as follows:
The driver of a vehicle shall not
overtake and pass, or attempt to
pass, any other vehicle, proceeding
in the same direction, between any
points indicated by the placing of
temporary warning or caution signs
indicating that men are working
on the highway.
And while the code does not pro-
vide a specific speed for travel thru
such zones it covers this in the
following clause:
Every person shall drive at a
speed not greater than is reason-
able and proper, having due regard
to the traffic, surface and width of
highway and all other conditions
then existing.
“Every motorist should be fam-
iliar with these provisions and obey
them to the letter,” Mr. Gable
said. “Ignorance of the law does
not make him less liable to arrest
and fine, nor less responsible for
whatever injury or property dam-
age he may cause by violation of
these regulations.
“Realizing that road oiling, de-
tours and other such conditions are
unpleasant and inconvenient for the
traveler, the State is doing every-
thing possible to expedite the safe
movement of traffic and, at the
same time, protect the workmen
and the motorists themselves. The
motorist should take into consider-
ation that this ultimately means
better roads, and be willing to ex-
tend co-operation to the fullest ex-
tent.”
In addition to its regular road
oiling and detour schedule given on
the weekly maps issued by the
Highway Department, the State
season is issuing special weekly
bulletins that set forth the oiling
program on the rural road system
for the week that follows, according
to the Auto Club. Augmenting this
will be the placing of signs bearing
the marking “THIS ROAD TO BE
OILED WITHIN A WEEK” on the
stretches that are scheduled for im-
mediate surface treatment.

ADDITIONAL TAXES MEAN
OUTLAY OF $2,500,000
—
Offices of the Pennsylvania Pow-
er & Light Company throughout
the territory it serves, have been
the scene of unusual activity dur-
This is because
amount of work
necessary in preparing to comply
with the tax law which requires,
among other things, that the Com-
pany collect a tax of 3 per cent on
the amount paid for the electricity
furnished many of its customers
after June 21st.
Mr. Samuel H. Miller, the local
manager, estimated that during the
next two years, while this tax law
is in effect, the Company will, in
its capacity as collecting agency for
the Government, handle eight mill-
ion individual tax transactions, and
that the amount of money collected
will exceed $500,000 per year, all of
which must be turned over to the
Government. It was also pointed
ing the past week.
of the enormous
out that the Company will be put
to considerable expense because of
additional clerical work, record
keeping, etec., this additional ex-
pense being conservatively estimat-
ed at $50,000 a year.
In addition, the Company’s
tax burden has been increased
the new law which imposes
tional Federal Income taxes, taxes
on gasoline, lubricating oil, auto-
mobile tires and tubes, telegrams,
telephones, checks, additional post-
age tax, etc. The Company estim-
ates that these additional taxes will
amount to $250,000 per year.
It was further stated that the
Company already pays a very large
tax bill to Federal, State and local
governments, and that with these
new provisions, it will be paying
taxes amounting to $2,500,000 a
year. This amounts to paying out
in taxes, fourteen cents out of ev-
ery dollar of the company’s net op-
erating revenue.

SEASON FOR BASS
OPENED ON FRIDAY
own
by
addi-
The North Branch of the Susque-
hanna, regarded as one of the out-
standing bass streams in the east,
is expected to attract hundreds of
fishermen on July 1, the opening
day of the bass season in this
State, Oliver M. Deibler, the Fish
Commissioner, said today. Thous-
ands of bass are taken from this
stream each year.
Pennsylvania boasts many good
bass waters, and these game fish
have staged a remarkable cemeback
during the past five years. In-
cluded in the list of the good bass
streams are the Upper Delaware,
in the northeastern part of the
state, French creek, in northwestern
Pennsylvania, the Conoquenessing
creek, in the western part of the
State, the Loyalsock, in the north
central section, the Juniata river,
Raystown Branch of the Juniata,
and the Conodoquinet creek, in the
central section.
Lake Gordon in Bedford county,
Lake Wallenpaupack, in Pike and
Wayne counties, and Conneaut Lake
Crawford county, furnish ° good
fishing.
Streams in the southeastern part
of the State that rank as bass pro-
ducers are Neshaminy creek, Bucks
county, the Perkiomen, Montgom-
ery county, and the East and West
Brandywine creeks in Chester
county.
Pine creek and Bald Eagle creek,
in Clinton county and Penn’s creek,
Union county, are the good bass
streams.
Water and weather conditions
govern bass fishing to a major ex-
tent, the Commissioner said. Some
of the finest catches of bass are
made when the water is clearing
following a period of heavy rains.
At this time, helgramites and stone
catfish rank high as natural bait.

HEALTH TALK
WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
“Everyone who has a bank ac-
count is exceedingly ‘anxious to
keep it straight. And indeed in
practically all transactions of a
business nature, people desire to be
exceedingly careful. There is, how-
ever, another phase of bookkeeping
concerning which many are likely
to be indifferent. And this thought-
lessness not only embarrasses the
public health officials, but very fre-
quently the individual most vitally
concerned. It is the matter of the
birth certificate,” states Doctor
Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health.
Public health efforts aimed = to-
ward the reduction of maternal
mortality and infant deaths, depend
is quite as essential as it is in a
counting house.
“In Pennsylvania there are ap-
proximately 750 registrars of vital
statistics. In townships and boros
the registrar is duly appointed by
the State Health Department, and
in cities the health officer is charg-
ed with the duty of keeping these
records.
“The laws of this Commonwealth
provide that every birth must be
reported by the attending physician
or midwife within ten days of its
occurrence. Where no
attention has been received,
householder or other responsible
are furnished for this purpose. |
When properly filled in they are]
then forwarded to the State Depart- |
ment’s bureau of vital statistics at |
Harrishurg.
“However, there is a more per-
sonal side to this important matter.
For example, if the birth of a child
is not properly recorded he may
have difficulty in proving his right
to go to school, to make a contract,
to vote, to marry, to hold office, to
obtain insurance or compensation,
to claim an inheritance or pension,
or get a passport.
“Hundreds of instances have been
noted by the Department where
persons have been actually deprived
of rights simply because of their in-
ability to prove that they were born
at a certain place, at a certain time.
“Therefore, if any uncertainty ex
ists regarding this matter it is only
good business to write to the State
Health Department’s bureau of vit-
al statistics and thereby obtain the
information necessary tc take im-
mediate steps to complete the rec-
ord of your birth.
“Incidentally, a primary duty to-
ward the new infant by parents is
to see that the birth of a child is
duly recorded. If in doubt, check
up.”

West Main St.,
The “one-arm” automobile driver
who takes a chance by driving with
one hand on the steering wheel and
the other about his fair companion’s
waist is no longer alone in this form
of unsafe driving. The musical mind-
ed operator and the one eager for the
latest news are giving him some com-
petition.
Recently a State Highway patrolman
halted a car whose driver was pro-
ceeding along the highway entertain-
ing his companions with melodies from
a cornet. One hand held the steering
wheel; the other the cornet. Another
patrolman reported a driver who be-
ieved himself capable enough to op-
erate a car with one hand while he
read his daily paper held in the other
hand.
Both operators were warned that
such practices were not conductive to
safe driving,
