An eight wheel switching
locomotive of entirely new design
bias just been completed and
turned out of the Pennsylvania
Railroad's Juniata Shops at
Altoona, Pa. This locomotive,
known as "Class C-l," is the
first to be delivered on an order
for 50 placed witb tbe Altoona
Works several months ago.
Tbe new type "O I" switching
locomotive was designed and
built to meet a growing need for
more powerful engines ot tbis
type at terminal points and hump
yards where heavy freight trains
are shifted and classified. Tbe
operation of heavier freight trains
made possible by the use of more
powerful road freight engines,
necessitates a stronger and
heavier switching engine for the
work ot breaking up and remaking these trains ia yards and
terminals.
The Class "C-l" locomotive
has cylinders 27" in diameter by
80" stroke; driving wheels 56 in
diameter, and steam pressure ot
250 pounds per square inch. The
weight of the locomotive in
working order is 275,000 pounds.
The tractive force is 76,000
pounds.
Tbe 50 locomotives to ba
turned out on.the present order
will be distributed to various
points on tbe System where

Bellwood Bsaiors it Baeealaareate
Bellwood High school graduating claaa Sunday evening hoard a
baccalaureate sermon by tbe
Rev. L. A Welliver at the
Methodist Episcopal church.
The service was a union ef
Bellwood ohurches to honor the
class. At the evening worship
hour tbe entire bigh school waa
present, with Antis township
class of 1925 and board of
directors as guests. The churoh
was filled to capacity.
The Rev. Welliver had as his
theme "The Life that is Highest
and Best," having as his text
"David served his own generation,
by tbe will of God." The
preacher said that the chiet
question ot anyone should be not
how to make a living, but.how to
make a lite. The chief contribution to tbe world ia tbe life not
what one has to leave in way ot
property or wealth.
David's spirit was that ot
service. To do tha most for other
people was bis chief aim. His
field for service was his own
generation. He would do bis best
for the people with whom, be
associated during the yesrs of his
life, from the sheepfold to the
throne. His motive waa "the will
ot God," Obeying divine law was
his daily aim.
The example ot David, doing
God's will by serving his fellow-
man, was held np to tbe young
people as "The Life That is
Highest aud Best" by the preacher, in his closing address to the
oiass.
