Durins July and August of thi.i p.in Summer two rem.irkable World Conf.rciice.s were held —The Uni- Mi'.sa! Cliri.-tiin Coancil on Life an! \VL)rk W.I.S held in Oxford. Englam, in July, and the World Conference on Faitli and Ord^r in Edlnburi, ,Scotland. in Augu-t.
The-p meeting.s brousht togetlier 414 delegates from 122 Christian comniunion.s in 43 dlfTerent countrlc-;. In additim to all the Evangelical ani Protestant delegates, there were dole- ,!ates from the so-called Orthod3< Churches of the Near East, Tho only Chur?h, which was not repre- .-^entcd was the Roman Catholic Church Tlie outstanding practical result of the.se two great equmenlctl gatherings was the adoption of u resolution by both bodies to form a merger of the two. and to constitu'.' a World Council of Churches, whlca ."hall embrace all the communions of Christendom, except the Roman Catholic Church, which refuses to eome In.
The Ministerial A.s.soclatlon of Bethlehem has secured the .servl?'? of Dr James H. Franklin, President of the Crozer Theological Seminary, to report on the Oxford Conferencs :n the Old Moravian Chapel on Heckewelder Place, Bethlehem, Pa, on Monday, November 20th at 3 p. Ill. nnd Dr. J. Ross Stevenson, Presi¬ dent-emeritus of the Princeton Theo¬ logical Seminary, to report on the Edlnburg Conference on December 27th. A very cordial hivltatlon li extended to the clerg}' of the neigh¬ boring cities and towns of Easton, Allentown, Nazareth, Freemansburg, Hellertown, Northampton, and any others to come to these meetings and especially the coming one on Monday aftemoon, November 29th.  • •

Telephone reports from at least a
I half dozen sections of the bear terri¬ tory indicated one of the largest first day kills of Bruin and his tribs
_ for many years, according to Beth Oordon, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania    Oame    Commission,
, Director Oordon talked to a numlier of the field ofllcers in bear territory and they each reported almost twice as many hunters In the fleld after bear this year than they have for .some time.
I Some of the men also reported light snow fall. In one case tWJ in:?hcs, which provided good tracking Uius helping to swell the kill,
I One section in the North C3ntral tier reported 25 bears t.iken the flrs. day; other sections reported ar&uni 8 and 10.
Prnn.sylvanla was the first .state to i;roicct the black bi'ar, in 1905; since then thee animals have been as- .-iduou-ly hunted ye.ir after ye.ir undvr re.siri:te.1 seasons and regula¬ tions. In one year. 1924. Pennsyl¬ vania killed more black bears than .ill the other states combined.
While the average black bear .velahs from 250 to 300 i)?und5. som? notable specimens have been taken from time to time. There are on record in the ComniisMon ofBce twu unusually large anlmaLs—one of 633 ;iounds taken in Pike County, and one of 638 pounds taken In Monrce County. .
Sportsmen everywhere are pleased with the new law which prescribes a separate season for bears Instead o( having It run Into the deer season like It did In past years. Likewise the hunters appreciate the CommU- slons liberality In granting them tho privilege of killing two bears to o camp Instead of one this season.

NO SPECIAL
DOE SEASON
Holders of Invalidated Permits Askad To Bc Patient Until IXLicMwe Eef und Are SUrted
The State Oame Commission defln¬ itely dropped all plans for a special doe season this year despite the Dauphin County court's suggestio'i that It still can hold an anterless deer hunt. The commission decided against calling another special aes¬ slon this year after Judge John E. Pox Issued a permanent Injunction, banning the three-day open seaso.i which was to open today and con¬ tinue until Saturday. Holders of In¬ validated special doe permits were asked to be patient until the $2 li¬ cense refunds are made.
Too much confusion Is cited by the Commission as the reason for not taking further steps at present. The time is too short and any other ar¬ rangements would only tond to add to the present confusion. Many sportsmen who had planned to hunt anterless deer could not rearrange vacatlon.s and thousands of other",. In the deer country' next week hunt¬ ing bucks, could not be appraised of dates for a later date.

No Final Iteports Available
Harrisburg, Nov. 24—If a lady is getting a permanent wave and the 8-haur work schedule of tbe hair¬ dresser ends in the midst of the operation what  happens?
ThLs is one of the hundreds of in¬ quiries received by Ralph M. Bashoie. Secretary of Labor and Industry, i. connection with the general 44«boui: law, effective December 1.
Bashore's answer Is encouraging. He said: "We're going to be reason¬ able about enforcing this law. Any such service may be completed whether It's a hairdresser, a barbe., a waiter or other classlflcatlon li service occupations.
RUMORS ARE
MISLEADING
The Nazareth Inn does not cater to dinner and dance parties, as It is rumored by some ungrateful Naz¬ areth citizens. Is far removed troin the truth. The Nazareth Inn. be¬ sides catering to the travelling public, makes special eflorts to pleaie pri¬ vate and public gatherings In their .-paclous dining room. The same courtesy is extended to all. a practice that has made the Inn famous far generations Rumors to the con¬ trary are but idle words from a fllp- ant tingue.
Mrs. F D Heckman, chairman ol the Nazareth Branch American Red Cro's. ann,;unced that no final re¬ port of the Nazareth district has been compiled, due to the workers not being able to comolele their canva.s. The local committee feels, iiowever. that the $1200 quota will be rer.ch?d this w?ek and a report covering the entire district will bi- released  for  publication next  week.

A statistical summary of per.sons aided by the organization indicates that tUo tlt.ods constituted the Rreat- esl peace-time eniprfreney ever faced by the nation. The Ited Cross gave somo form of assistance to 1,002,000 men. women and children. From January to August hundreds of trained workers helped by thoa¬ sands of volunteers administered to the sufferers.
A Itf'd Cross rescue fleet cf 5400 ll 'ats vvas organized, according to tho report. Emer.gency hospitals ee- tal)Ush(.>d totaled 300 and 3C00 nurses wi-re assigned to flood duty. In more than l.oO'i refugee centers the vic¬ tims of the flood were sheltered, clothed and fed. Through the Red Cross nu'difal-liealth program and the work uf public health agencies tiiokness was kept I > Lornial for the time of year In all inundated areas.
Because of its disaster experience the Red t'riss was directed by the I'resident of the United States, who ts also president of the Ued Cross, to coordinate the effort of all federal flixid relief groups. Government and Ued Crosa officials met daily at the Red Cross headquarters building la Washington to plan relief measures and prevent duplication ot effort.

Light on public sentiment toward .spending is found In the vote on projected bond issues. For every oaa apiiroved.  about   two were  rejected.
The only two towns voting on pr:pasals to erect municipal electria plants or to take over private planta decisively defeated the measures.
From the standpoint of partisan politics, the eloctlon.- are more diS* cOU to gauge. Republicans mads g'llas—but they were not large, and occuned in areas where Uie Re¬ publicans are in the majority as a rule, and only lost control during the great » w Deal sweep of laat year. Oni- Unportant sign of the times is the growing Inclination of the voters to back the man they beUeve the best, irrespective of his party label. This trend marks a hard blow to oiU-time matshine poll* tics, which depends for success on a "straight ticket" vote that approv* ail party nominaaa and personalities.
To quote Miss Thompson more, "The elections ahow ... a pubiic demand for humane yoyaifp ment, coupled artth Inrrraalng lMai«> esty, efllciency and sobrletjr," ^
It may be only a coincidenoa tttt * It is a fact ttiat a few daya attar the elections, Secretary lioivantliM made his Immensely hnportaal speech In which tie oppoeed incwaaad government spending, approved a broader tax Inse, and made redae* tlons In appropriations, and appar- ently charted a new fiscal course for the Administration. It is generaUy believed that tiie business tecessioo has frightened the voters as well as govemment leaders, and increased sentiment In favor of a more oon- servatlve policy.
Oenerai opinions hold tiiat tM special session and the regular saa* slon of the current Congress wlU ka dominated by a cautkMU tone, and a disinclination to spend and aapart* ment. The reverbaratloM fmn Om local elections win echo loud In tlH halls and committee rooma at tha CapltoL
