C. M. Wilhelm. chief of ths
bureau ot firs protection st Harrisburg, has rent out tho following
information whioh should be ot
Vest importance to oar citizens:
£. Psst experience of many of the
cities and boroughs throughout
the stste hss brought a realization
of the beuefioial results obtained
by regularly designating certain
periods daring ths yesr tor a gen
eral cleaning up and removal trom
buildings and premises of all
health aod firs breeding menaces.
The spring cleaning time is now
here and there snoold bs no reason
or excuse why the citizens of every dty, borough or rami district
ahould not get together for community betterment and at ones
roceed to dean np ss a security
inst loss caused through care
ness-and neglect to take pre-
utioDB against possible loss by
re.
Carelessness  is  ths   principal
use for the largest part  ot   the
i waste in this country and as a
sequence the cost to tbe indi-
ual to paying  tbs  fire tax is
teasing, adding to the already
cost of living expenses,
repare  to have  a clean ap
k.   Do it early, don't delay,
is a thorough cleaning up by
emoval of all rubbish and in-
mable material from   within
about  yoar   premises.   In-
clean sud repair   chimneys
edy defeats in buildings.

stitutions, factories, mills and
other - properties should be inspected by local authorisies and
necessary repairs or improvements
made that will redoes ths possibility ot fires and protect the lives
end safety ot occupants..
Insist upon better building regulations ss a fire preventive measure, and inaugurate fire drills in
schools, io private and pablic institutions, mercantile and industrial establishments.
The co-operation of citizens in
interesting themselves in tbe clean
np movement will result in s reduction of fire waste and s conservation of resources.

At Isst the hopes ot the citizens

was closed one day last week,
whereby tbey bave purchased
fifty feet on Main street, adjoining ths Bellwood bank and extending back to an allay running
parallel witb tbs Pennsylvania
railroad, and upon whioh the new
owners bave commenced the
erection of a modern motion
picture theatre.
The new owners are M. E.
McNeal snd J. H. McCrory, of
Winber, and J. J. Burns, of
Altoona, and ths oontrsot for
erecting the building has been
1st to J. B. Fluke & Sons,, well
know contractors of Altoona, and
the cost of the structure will be
in tbe neighborhood of $30,000.

which it will be situated is tbat
adjoining the Bellwood bank on
tbe western side, facing Main
street, and was purchased from
W. A. Ford, retired superintendent of tbe Bellwood division,
Pennsylvsnis Railroad.
The steel for tbe theatre has
been ordered from the Lancaster
I-on and Steel company, Inc., of
Lancaster, Pa., and while the
orders for tho brick bavo not
been definitely placed, it is likely
that it wfll bs brick manufactured
here.
Tbe new theatre will have a
seating capacity of about 000 and
will be equipped throughout with
the latest in theatre appurtenances, including two electric,
motor-driven projecting machines. The playhouse will be
equipped with a small stage ia
addition to the screen and it will
thus be able to stage vaudeville
acts and small plays if tbe management decides to do so. The
theatre will have a two-story
firont, a large office for the management and three suite dffices to
be fitted np above the lobby.
Ths controlling company,
consisting of the owners, will be
known ss the McNeal Theatre
company ot Windber. Messrs J.
J. Barns snd J. H. McCrory will
go to Nsw York tbis week to
plsce orders for the chain to be
installed.
That tbe success of ths nsw
amusement enterprise is assured
can ba seen from tbs tact thst tor
the part three or four yesn Bellwood bss been without a motion
