Florin Inventor Is
Granted a Patent
On Animal Cage
On January 23, 1951, the United
States Patent Office granted patent
number 2,539,024 on an “Escape-
proof Animal Cage” to Howard L.
Leiby, Florin, Pa.
This invention pertains to im=
provements in the art of animal
husbandry and, in particular, to a
novel cage for confining small rab-
bits, white mice, turtles and the
like. As special features, it contains
no doors or gates in its sides or end
walls; and it provides an escape-
proof trap that affords a clear view
of the caged animals at all times.
Simple in construction, Mr. Lei-
by's contrivance consists of three
principal parts. First, there is a
“dropping box” or bottom member
having side and end walls, and a
floor upon which earth or ashes
may be placed to absorb moisture.
Next, there is the cage proper
which is of wire mesh, is detachab-
ly fastened at its lower portion to
the dropping box, and is of curved
design at its top section. Finally, a
rectangularly-shaped sheet metal
wall structure, open at its top and
bottom ends, is inserted within and
welded to an opening in the upper
part of the cage, it being noted that
this wall structure extends for a-

2 Brothers, East
Donegal Students
Met In Philippines
What would you think or how
would you feel if you were thous-
ands of miles from ‘home and you
met your brother whom you had
not seen for five years. Wouldn't
that be more like a dream than a
reality? Well that is exactly what
happened in the Philippines.
Two brothers, both graduates of
East Donegal, met on Clark Field,
in the Philippines, recently. It was
the first time the brothers have
seen each other for nearly five
years. Lt. Robert B. McMullen 43
had been flying in Korea for the
past four months and returned to
Clark Field near Manilla, for a rest.
As he watched incoming planes he
saw his brother Lt. Harry D. Mec-
Mullen Jr., ’39, alight.
Lt. Harry was recalled to active
service last October. Previous to
that, he worked at Olmstead Field,
Middletown. The brothers are the
sons of Harry D. McMullen. Sr.,
maintenance engineer of Wyeth,
Inc. and secretary of the East Don-
egal Twp. School Board.
B. Groff Succeeds
Zerphey As Head
War Memori'lOrg.
The local War Memorial organi-
zation, which has been dormant for
the past two years, met last Wed-
nesday evening when Elmer Zer-
phey, president of the group resign-
ed.
Zerphey had resigned at the last
meeting two years ago but it was
not accepted at that time. As a
result of his resignation on Wed-
nesday evening, Benjamin Groff
was elected to fill that office:
The organization also elected
Howard Brown as vice-president,
while James Spangler and Earl
Miller were reelected secretary and
treasurer respectively.
The special session was called so
that the Centennial Celebration
program could be explained to the
organization. Chas. Eshleman, Cen-
tennial Committee chairman, ex-
plained what will take place dur-
ing the celebration and expressed a
need for immediate funds.
As a result, the War Memorial
group approved a loan to the Cen-
tennial group with the understand-
ing that proceeds of the celebration
be turned over to the War Memor-
ial Fund.

ICY HIGHWAYS CAUSED TWO
ACCIDENTS WEST OF TOWN
Water draining from the sides of
the Harrisburg Pike beyond the
railroad crossing, just west of the
boro, froze Sunday night and caus-'
ed an icy patch several hundred
feet long, which was blamed for 2
accidents investigated by State Po-
lice.
State Policeman John Wagaman
said Mrs. Sadie A. Brooks, thirty-
nine, Florin, was driving west at
8:30 a. m. and thought the ice was
a patch of water. Her car went into!
a spin and struck a culvert and
concrete curb, causing damage es-
timated at $100.
Following was a truck driven by

isburg, who stopped to avoid hit-
ting the car and was struck in the

Who Permit It?
From the manner in which the
authorities at Lancaster are dealing
out justice to violators, it is a ques-
tion in our minds as to who is the
biggest violator.
As a rule when a motorist makes
an ordinary mistake, one code vio-
lation, he frequently loses his driv-
ing privileges for three months.
Now compare that with the appen-
ded and use your own judgment.
Raymond Grove, of Lancaster,
was arrested eight times since 1947.
His license was suspended for three
months and then returned. Since
then he was arrested four times for
various violations but he's still
driving a car.
Kenneth Hodgen, also of Lancas-
ter, was arrested five times since
1047, three for reckless driving,
once for ignoring a red light and
another for failure ta yield the
right of way. He's still driving.
Frank Wright was arrested four
times since 1948, two reckless driv-
ing, one speeding over an intersec-
tion and once for driving double
over an intersection. He's still driv-
ing.
Richard Stockbauer, 24, was ar-
rested three times within a year.
He was charged with driving with-
out lights, racing with a police
cruiser and reckless driving. 'He'’s
still driving.
Just what must drivers like this
do before they are taken off the
highways in an effort to make our
roads safe for sane motorists? If
they kill one or more persons it
will be too late.
We really cannot understand why
they are permitted to drive after so
many violations. :
