entire satisfaction of all acquainted^
witb its effects.
Tbe bureau is Bellwood's one
snd only organization caring for
tbe needy of the town. Its affairs
have been handled by businessmen,'
and all funds - contributed are)
spent tor tbe benefit ot the leaf
fortunate. There isn't any fee to'
anybody, nor any salaried officer
and Bellwood has a county-wide
reputation as to way it cares tor
its needy people.
Just once in recent years bas i
been necessary to supplement tba
roll call fund. Tbat was in tbe
winter of 1927-28, when several!
times an "S. O. 8." call was sent
out and at one's answered. Suppers were held, everybody contri-j [
bated and then buying supper.)
The people had a mind to tbe

Lsst year the need was not so
great and the roll call was sufficient. It is hoped that the same
may be true next year. Many
people will need emergency aid
and the bureau is asking that
everybody be ready to answer
the call.
G. A. Jamison is president and
J. W. Lowther treasurer. Dr.
Roy W. Goshorn, secretary bas

commander of tbe 104th cavalry.

Tbe Tyrone organization entails
tbree officers and sixty-five enlisted men. Tbe unit rates, as so
organization oi tbe first line ot
defense in time ot actuai   combat.
Ths BIsetlOB Bezt Tuesday
Due to the quietness that pervades the atmosphere one would
scarcely realize that Tuesday of
next week is election day, which
is no doubt owing to the tact that
tbere is no pronounced contests
for tbe offices, either in tbe county
or borough. Blair county, and in
fact every precinct, is strongly
Republican and the nomination is
equivalent to the election, hence
the disinterestedness that is
manifest. In the county a sheriff,
county controller, jury commits
toner aud director of the poor will
be elected, and it is a foregone
conclusion that the Republican
aspirant's, will be successful.
In the borougb we will elict a
chit burgess, four councilmen, tax
collector, assessor aud auditors
and tbe Republican nominees are
assured ot election.
In Antis township, which has
been a storm center for the past
number of years, there are
contests for several ot tbe offices,
a number having come out as
independent candidates, and tbe
result of the fight will be early
awaited.
