BURGESS PROCLAMATION*
Bellwood, P*. Nov., 5, lBtt.
Citizens- of Bellwood Borough:
My    attention has been    catted
time aad again - by various eiti:
of our borough to Bm higbj
that B brought about fros|u*]Jr_
time to h*ve our people
various causes. Sometimee tbe
!B**%s**su__-
tbrough patience. No one can arrive
Sa to tbe cause or cure.
That tt coat tb* taxpayers of
Blair county $6002 to bold the last
general election^ fa BeOlKvood borough tiie cost totaled almost one
hundred dollars, and white tt required part of th* following day to
complete the count, yet no discrepancies have been reported, which te
a credit to these ta charge of the
election. The cost of holding the
primary eiecton waa almost as great
as the general election. The direct
primary waa made state wide by legislative enactment a few years ago,
and previous by the county convention, or delegate system was ta vogue, and st much less expepnse. It
would sppear that under the pre-
«_ont method onr eleotions come
high, but we must hare them. It te
said by many that th* old method
was just as good and aot near as
costly.
That ths drive for members of
Y. M. C. A. te meeting with gratifying success and' those having it ta
charge feel that several hundred
former members will 'renew and that
many other new members wiB be
added. Thte te an institution that
should receive the wholehearted support of every man and woman of
Bellwood and Antis twnship. It te
within ita walla that wholesome in-
atructon te given to the young men
snd boys, and ths theatre of activity
for numerous sports and tb* public
meeting of tb* town. Bellwood cannot loss this institution and there
te snough af town pride ta the community to keep it going. The price
of membership has been placed at
.two dollars. i ,
That the merchants of Bellwood
were mora prompt ta the settlement
with their mercantile tax with the
county treasurer at Hollidaysburg
than any other section of te county. Up to date it b said that all but
two of our business men have paid
this tax, which speaks volumns for
th* financial interests of ths town.
It te also related by representatives
from wholesale houses that our mer-
chants are quite prompt ta paying
bills for goods, considering the depression fast has existed for a number of months. Taking these two
things into consideration our town
folks sre coming through in remark-
Jsbje good order. All communities
sr* hard hit over the panicky conditions, some mem ta desperaja
straights, aad white we fully realise tiie depression, yet there te a
reason for rejoicing that the merchants an able to meet their obligations. Ws an pleased to say tbat
as" jug
character as just necessitates
At tbe present time there an four
or five movement* on to collect
funds, two an drives when pressure
apparently te used to collect these
funds. They an all worthy causes
and should be supported by our people generally under normal' times,
but at tills time tt occures to me thst
the good people who sre complaining
have a just complaint, some have bo
work, little on ao money, families,
obligation* to meet. Even the sandiest donation brings pain on the
giver, aad if they fail to give causes
.embarrassment and apparently
works a hardship upon tb* donator.
Both tb* drives to which I refer
an for good causer, and an for the
betterment of • the community, and
I am ta heartily accord with them
and will support both which I feel
moat of onr people will do. I shall
ask as Burgess of thte Borough ta
interest of our good peple, some who
at* suffering under tiie strata of
hard times, tbat our citizens, our
societies, and those sponsoring such
movements ta the lut-tre us* the
greatest can and discretion and only
bring to ths attention of the public
tbe most worthy causes, eliminating
ss much as possible any further
drives during these severe times in
which our people can find use far.
their funds in their own home* to
care for tiieir own family.
Thanking yon for your consideration and cooperation wtth thte movement, and trusting tbat I may have
the full support of all those concerned in arranging for such movements
as above described until the tide
breaks for better times when our
peopla can afford to give freely to
all worthy causes.
Sincerely, Tours,
