A certain man from this section re-
cently returned from Canada and
brought with him a pint of liquor. His
friend said he should be ashamed of
himself and that he has no patriotism |
because he does not protect local in- |
dustries.
Yesterday a man here told me that
usually 50 per cent of the baby chicks!
you buy die. 50 per cent grow upto
be roosters and the rest are hens. :
Met a fellow walking up and down
Main street the other night about 12
o'clock and I asked him why he re-
fused to go home whenever his wife
had a bridge party.
He said: “I can’t stand so much ciga-
rette smoke.”
That's a new excuse and one that a
lot of us fellows haven't tried yet.
A lady on West Donegal street told
me that her idea of a good way to get
“a run for your money” is to get your
silk hosiery at the bargain counter.
That’s Our Fix
The office boy entered the sanctum
of the editor of the Brushville Bugle
and said:
Office Boy—Say, boss, there's a
tramp outside who says he hasn’t had
anything to eat for six days.
Editor—Bring him in. If we can
find out how he does it we can run
this paper for another week.
Who said girls aren’t saving? Some
have the first loveletter their busband
ever wrote them.
Just as the executioner was about to
apply the juice at Rockview Peniten-
tiary the other day he asked the man
in the electric chair if he had any-
thing to say.
The prisoner replied: “Yes, loosen
the strap on my right foot, my corn
hurts.”
One thing that has surprised us is
the fact that boys and girls who used
to be considered wall flowers at the
parties 30 years ago, are doing very
well and a good many of the social
lions of our day are having a hard
time to get along.
Just about as a local man was leav-
ing for his office, his wife said: “I wish
you'd go out and scold that maid be-
fore you go.
He replied: “Why I thought you
liked her?”
She: “I do, but she’s beating some
carpets this morning and she does it
so much better when she’s mad.”
A little fellow walked into our office
the other morning and said: “An edit-
or is a man who puts things in the pa-
per, isn’t he?”
Our reply: “Oh, no, my boy; an
editor keeps things out of the paper.”

We Know Such Chaps
When a man gets into a doubtful
scheme for making money his assets
depend on his lie-ability.
One of our preachers here told me
that you should so live that after the

present will not think they have at-
tended the wrong funeral.

estate owned by its members; and to |
accumulate a fund by the savings of
the members thereof, sufficient to en-
able every stockholder to invest his
savings safely and speedily in what-
| ever may be deemed by him or her
most profitable.”
“Each person becoming a sharehold-
er of the stock of this Asoociation shall
pay the sum of twenty-five cents as
an initiation fee, for each and every
share, he or she may subscribe; and
shall afterwards, on the Saturday pre-
ceeding the fourth Monday in each
and every calendar month, between the
hours of one o'clock and seven o'clock
in the afternoon, pay to the Treasurer,
the sum of one dollar on each and ev-
ery share, during the whole period
through which it shall continue. As
soon as the funds of the Society shall
have accumulated so as to divide to
each and every share the sum of two
hundred dollars, or property to that
amount, the Association shall then
wind up and distribute its funds to the
shareholders.”
“The following shall be the officers
of this Association, and their terms of
office shall determine as follows, to
wit: J. R. Hoffer, President; Henry
Shaffner, Vice President; P. A. Pyle,
Treasurer; H. Austin Brady, Secre-
tary; H. C. Kern, I. M. Groff and
Martin Spickler, Directors; and their
terms of office shall expire at the an-
nual meeing of the stockholders in
1870. F. A. Ricker, William Kuhn and
Philip Frank shall be Directors, and
their term of office shall expire at the
annual meeting of the stockholders in
1871. J. G. Clair, B. M. Greider and
John Mooney shall be Directors, and
their term of office shall expire at the
annual meeting of the stockholders in
1872.”
One of the unusual features of this
old Association is that shares sold at
the same rates as the present Associ-
ation and in many ways the two con-
cerns were exactly alike.
An old citizen who well remembers
the association of years ago, was asked
by our reporter what became of it. He
said: “After it was in operation a few
years the stockholders mutually agreed
to discontinue, so they divided the
money among them and quit.”

ROAD WILL BRIDGE
BOTTOMLESS BOG
Work on the last and only unim-
proved gap on the Perry Highway,
U. S. Route 19, a 1600 foot link ov-
er the Conneaut Swamp between
Meadville and Sheakleyville, has
been started, Secretary of High-
ways Sam S. Lewis has announced.
These operations climax an en-
gineering problem under study by
State Highway and consulting en-
gineers for more than a year. Ef-
forts to build a road by placing a
“fill” on this section were tempor-
arily abandoned by the Department
more than a year ago when it was
discovered that the seemingly bot-
tomless swamp absorbed all ma-
terial placed for a road bed. Three
widely known engineering experts
were asked to study the formation
and make recommendations.
the latter said: “Well your son is get-
ting on gradually.”
“Ill agree, said the father. “Two
years ago he wore my suits—now I
wear his.”
A man on West Main street told me
that some wrinkles are ugly and others
are beautiful.
Louise had just read her composi-
tion and her teacher said:
Teacher—That is very good, Louise.
Is it original?
Louise—No, I made it up.

LOCAL HI SCHOOL LAD
TAKES AN EXTENSIVE TRIP
One of our local lads, Kenneth
Lieberher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Lieberher, on Marietta St, is quite
keen on seeing a bit of the country.
However, he made a trip to Staun-
ton, Va., on a bicycle, the past week
Kenneth, who made the entire
trip alone on his “bike,” received
no “lifts” from anyone, When a
hill or mountain was too steep fo
climb, and which required real
energy to peddle, he walked up the
hill beside his traveling vehicle.
At 6A. M,D. 8 T, on Sunday
morning, July 10th, the bicycle and
Kenneth started for Staunton, Va.
his first overnight stop was at
Washington, D. C., where he arrv-
ed at 7 P. M. He visited the Capitol
White House, Washington’s Monu-
ment and the Art Museum in the
Capitol City. His “hotel or lodging
house” for the night was a trolley
car.
Monday started on
morning he
his way to the end of his journey
and passed over some high moun-
tains, including the Blue Ridge
Mountain, 6 miles up, and 8 miles
down and also the Massanett Moun-
tain of 3 miles up and 3 miles down.
At 3 M.D. S. T, he arrived in
New Market, Virginia, and here he
slept on some one’s porch swing.
On Tuesday he arrived at Staun-
ton, Virginia, at 11.30 A. M., where
he visited Charles Martin, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin, who conduct-
ed a green grocery in the Jno. E.
Schroll store room on East Main
St. He covered 280 miles on his
trip to Staunton, but on his way
homeward his route was to Harp-
er’s Ferry, West Virginia, where he
arrived on Friday evening, leaving
Virginia at 4:45 A. M,, D. 8. T.
Saturday evening at 6:30 P. M,,
Kenneth arrived home. His route
covered Frederick, Md. Gettysburg
and York.
He visited Woodrow Wilson's
birthplace at Staunton and also the
Staunton Military Academy.
At Gettysburg he toured the bat-
tlefield.
The trip required 2 1-2 days go-
ing and 2 days returning.
Kenneth, who is an eighth grade
student of our local Junior high,
and also carrier of the Harrisburg
Telegraph, is planning two more
trips for this summer on his bi-
cycle, which will include Staunton
and Washington. His next summer
vacation will include a trip to Flor-
ida by the same conveyance.

bushels per acre while the average for
all potato growers in the State was 139
bushels. Another fact brought out by
the records is that Pennsylvania grow-
ers, in producing this acre yield, stood
at the head of a list of 20 States which
conducted certification work of this
type in 1931.
“Seed potatoes certification is a ser-
vice inaugurated by the Common-
wealth in 1924 to make available in
Pennsylvania, recognized seed of high
quality that potato growers would not
have to depend opon seed from distant
states where climatic and growing con-
ditions may not be as favorable as in
Pennsylvania,” Department officials
said. “The wisdom of this service is
shown by the fact that in the past,
many potato growers in Pennsylvania
have been buying certified seed from a
State which last year has a 75-bushel
acre yield when the corresponding
yield of Pennsylvania certified stock
was more than four times as much.”
The first inspection of fields entered
for certification will be made early in
July. All growers who desire inspec-
ion should make their applications im-
mediately to the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry, at Harrisburg.

HEALTH TALK
NRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEAT TY
“Enthusiasm is perhaps the out-
standing American characteristic.
For example, a sound theory is pro-
pounded, it catches the popular
fancy, and then illogically is car-
ried to extremes. But while this
wholehearted spirit goes well in
some of life’s departments, it is
likely to be embarassing and even
harmful in others. A misguided
enthusiasm for the summer sun
most decidedly belongs to the latter
class,” states Dr. Theodore B. Ap-
pel, Secretary of Health.
“From a strictly scientific stand-
point there can be no question that
the direct rays of the sun upon the
large exposed surfaces of the body
are of real benefit. This fact for
a long time has been firmly estab-
lished as spectacularly proved in
tuberculosis sanatoria and kindred
institutions. Moreover, it is equal-
ly well established that the healthy
body can be definitely benefited by
a judicious exposure to the sun.
“Unfortunately, however, the
average person apparently is unable
to understand that the application
of the sun’s rays, to be of real ben-
efit, must be a controlled and grad-
uated one.
“Starting with the entirely logi-
cal premise that exposure to the
sun is good for one, too many per-
sons whose skins have been codd-
led and protected for fifty weeks at
a stretch, will suddenly develop an
over enthusiastic affection for the
sunshine. This regard will be dis-
played by spending tne first days at
the seashore, mountain or camp in
getting painfully burned. To the
thousands of such persons not only
has this year’s annual sojourn de-
veloped into a painful and unpleas-
ant experience, but ahs literally
made them ill as well. And some
of them gravely so.
“It follows that a sensible and
therapeutic application of the sun's
arys is one thing, and an unregu-
lated baking quite another one.
Fifteen minutes the first day, and if
the skin has not been burned by
this exposure increasingly longer
periods on the days following, will
develop the desired tan, and in that
process give one the best advan-
tages of sun exposure.
“Therefore, on this summer's so-
journ, be enthusiastic over bathing,
canoeing, fishing and all the other
recreations that bring one in frank
contact with Old Sol, but do not
become one of his painful victims.
You way rest assured that there
will be plenty of sun casualties with
out your being in the number.”

LAUDS BENEFITS
OF RURAL ROADS
Governor Pinchot and Highway
Secretary Sam Lewis receive many
letters praising the Administra
tion’s rural road construction pro-
gram.
“Our mail carrier has a smile on
his face so great that the writer
cannot describe it,” wrote S. S. W.
Hammers, of Hammers’ Hall, near
Gettysburg, to the Governor.
“The writer has resided in this
section since the Battle of Gettys-
burg, on the old mud and stone
road from Fairfield road by way of
Knoxlyn Mills, Hammers’ Hall, and
Keystone Mills, to the Lincoln
Highway. During the past ten
vears about six cars daily passed
Hammers’ Hall. The new road was
opened to the public June 25. On
Sunday, June 26, 125 cars passed
the Hall by actual count.
“The people of this section con-
gratulate you and Samuel Lewis
for the part you men took in help-
ing the community to this new
grand piece of public highway. The
traffic June 26, 1932 was nearly
equal to that on the Lincoln. The
writer prays God to allot your men
many more years of such valuable
service to the State highways.”

THE USED FORDS SOUTH
OF THE EQUATOR
In South Africa, a country of great
distances, indifferent roads and trans-
portation conditions common to a pio-
neer era in a new land, the light car
is rapidly becoming predominant as a
means of transportation.
To meet the growing demand for
Ford cars and trucks the new plant of
the Ford Motor Company of South
Africa, Limited, at Port Elizabeth, was
completed in 1930. The plant serves
both the Union of South Africa and
Southwest African Protectorate, the
latter a former German colony ad-
ministered by the Union under a man-
date.
In these two counties dwell close to
1,7000,000 whites and many times that
number of natives. Motor cars are
used principally by the white popula-
tion.
Gold and diamonds are the chief
exports of the Union. Generally speak-
ing, however, South Africa is essent-
ially an agricultural country.
There are few paved roads in the
Union. Yet despite this handicap and
the long distances between towns us-
ual in anew and sparsely settled coun-
try, motor cars are in common use,
whether the route followed be along
the roads or straight across a stream
is through a Ford.
To serve the scattered population
the Port Elizabeth factory maintains
86 dealers and 150 subdealers, which
are located in every section of the
Union and the Protectorate. Relia-
bility runs to stimulate interest in
various makes of cars are common in
the Union, remarkable records being
made on runs between the various
cities, despite the absence of improved
roads as known in the United States.
Ford products for the Union are
shipped to the Fort Elizabeth factory
from its parent company. Ford Motor
Company of Canada, Limited at East
Windsor, Canada.
Materials are supplied in knocked-
down form, assembling and body-
building operations being performed by
the South African Company. Cargoes
are shipped direct from the ports of
Montreal and Saint John to Port Eliz-
abeth.
The capacity of the factory is thirty-
five cars daily, The plant is a one-
story modern structure of saw-tooth
roof type, 432 feet by 235 feet with a
floor area of 78,400 square feet. The
grounds cover nine and a half acres.
The plant aseemblies, paints and trims
open-model bodies and sedan-typex
bodies, as well as builds the chassis
upon a progressive assembly line.

Daylight Saving
Time Confuses

field. Notice has been served on such
establishments to post schedules im-
mediately.
“The tendency on the part of some
employers to begin work at 6 a. m.
Daylight Saving Time, in violation of
the law, is particularly noticeable
where two or more shifts are in oper-
ation,” said Miss Carr, “With the ten-
dency to divide the work into shifts
comes also the danger of permitting
girls to work traight through without
the required lunch hour. Workers
themselves unwittingly contribute to
this disregard of the law, failing to
realize the detriment to their health.
This failure on the part of the workers
does not relieve the employer of his
responsibility to comply with the law.”
Because it realizes the importance to
both employe and employer of an ade-
quate lunch period, the Department of
Labor and Industry has instituted
prosecution in a number of instances.
