CITIZENS RESPOND
The two spring Arbor Days, ob-
servedor* April 8, and April 22 by
proclamation of Governor Pinchot,
have been among the most successful since the first Arbor Day was
celebrated forty-seven years ago.
According to Secretary Lewis E.
Staley of the State Department of
Forests and Waters, practically
every community in the State, from
thesmallest village to the largest
cities, observed Arbor Day in some
manner, not alone Iby the planting
of individual trees bat in many
places by planting thousand* of
small seedlings and transplants for
reforestation.
The State-wide response to Arbor
Day this spring and the large number af trees planted, was attributed
by Secretary Staley to the fact that
this year marks the two hundred
anniversary of the birth ofGeorge
Washington. Many of the brass
planted were dedicated to his memory.

Found.   Near    Garage at
Mark* Home ia Tyrone
A dear little baby boy, with blue
eyes and brawn heir, was deserted by
his parent or parents Monday night.
The little chap,   aged about   three
month,   wss found at the rear   of
Charles Marks home, 1662 Pennsylvania avenue about ten o'clock Mfr.
Bad Mrs. Marks were sitting.in the
kitchen reading,  when they heard
pitiful cries from the yard. At first
they were under the impression that
the noise was made by a cat,   but
upon investigation, Mr. Marks located the infant, wrapped in old blankets, between the steps and a garbage
can. He carried the boy into into the
house and Mrs. Marks warmed some
milk and   in a abort time he   fell
PSatsfully asleep. Next morning, tha
undernourished    baby    seemed    as
happy aa a huh in ita new temporary
home. He is being well fed, and-is
eing given the best of care.
The  night atmosphere was  very
hilly, In fact overcoats were comfortable and it seems heartless on
B part of a parent, to desert the
tie one on such a cold night. It is

TESTIMfONIAL TO KURTZ
One thing was clearly established
In Tuesday's election: The popularity j*f J. Banks Kurts with the taxpayers of Blair county.
Two yearn ago in a two-man contest for the Republican- congressional nomination, Kurtz polled 18,040
■votes,' a majority of about 7,000.
This year, he competed with four
other candidates, one of them also a
present member of congress, and
ka**_edj approximately, 10,600. In
/other words, his total ia 1032 was
only 8,000 less than it was in 1930,
even though he was opposed by four
men instead of one.
The comparison is made more
(striking by the fact that one of his
[opponents, J. Mitchell Chase, was
backed, by a strong organization
while his own campaign was centered chiefly in the efforts of hla
friends. Is addition, it should be noted thai* according to unofficial figures, there is less than 100 votes
variance in the total cast in the two
years.
Kurtz, seeking public support for
a sixth term in congress, polled
more vote than his four opponents
combined. He lead his nearest rival
by 8,000 votes, better than two to
one majority. He carried Altoona,
winning every pricrnct except two,
losing (one of those by one vote and
tying fat theother; he polled better
then 190 ▼ote* in 27 precincts, and
better than 200 la five. He carried
every borough in the county.
