A Baas Fourth sf Jaly
For the first time in many
years Bellwood enjoyed a sensible
celebration of our national
independence on tbe Fourth of
Joly. The noisy and dangerous
manner ot observing that great
day has become antiquated and
tbe more sane way haa been
adopted by oar borough and the
great majority ot oar municipalities. Many have not yet learned
tbe better way > cele brate oor
great historic day and they are
sad individuals for they are
minus fingers, arms and eyes.
The son ot one of Altoona's
ministers lost bis eye sight by the
careless handling oi a fire cracker
that was thrown by another
person and there were 50 other
casualties io that oity last
Thursday. Bellwood is to be eon*
gratolsted tbat she had so tew
accidents. Especially grateful
were those wbo were eiek and at
the point ot death, for ths hearty
cooperation of oor citizens in
keeping the holiday quiet aod
■eta.

Taking exception to the allegations that Wilmer Stultz, killed
Monday, Joly 1, io an airplane
crash near Minools, N. Y., wss
Intoxicated at the time, Dr. R. L.
Perkins, 2001 North Second St,
Harrisburg, wrote a letter to Dr.
Alexander O. Goefjtler, Mineola,
N. Y., in which he questioned Dr.
Goettler'e diagnosis. Tbo letter
was poblished in a Harrisburg
newspaper and follows:
uMy Dear Dr. Goettler:
"In an Associated Press dispatch in tonight's paper, you are
credited witb the statement that
yoa bad made a chemical analysis of ths vital organs ot Wilmer
Btultz and your conclusions were
that the man was very drank at
tha time of bit death.
"1 am very moch surprised tbat
a member of oar honorable pro
tessioo should make a statement
of tbis kind which would bring
pain and suffering to the family
of this unfortunate flier.
"From wide experience in post
mortem work I bave my doubts
a* to how you could make this
diagnosis.
"When living in thia community, Stultz waa so honest, temperate end respected citizen, who
bod accomplished great things
aod a statement sach ss yoa are
alleged to have made against the
dead when the unfortunate man
cannot defend bimaelt is the wont
kind of cowardice.
wYeof truly,
(Signed)    R. L. Perkins, M. D.

Pension* ar*  Decreased
The reduction made this month
in tbe monthly pension checks
received by Pennsylvania Railroad
company veterans is not made in

accompanied the pension checks,
informing tbe veterans tbat
because ot tbe fact that the super-
nuatioa food was being to rapidly
depleted, ooly one-fourth of tha
amount will be paid until further
ootice.
This allowance, based upon the
aervice and length ot membership in the relief association, had
ranged lrom |4 to $12 monthly.
Until the tund grows sufficiently
large to permit fall payment, the
allowance  will   be   cut  to   one
fourth.
