UTHIS If HSJPES BEGUN
Work    Start-, in the Hill    Section
Yesterday to Be Seen CeatpUt*-
After ironing   oat a few   difficulties whieh had confronted them
tot the past few weeks, the Peoples
Natural    Gas company, which   had
been granted a franchise by the bor-
roagh council a year sge to lay ito
gas mains over the streets of   the
borough, work on the Same was began Wednesday morning. Thirty-five
men   were at work yesterday   and
/bore have been employed today.
| Several weeks sgo the line   was
completed from Altoona to Tyrone
and the citisens of these   communities   have since been enjoying   the
arvice. The gaa line from Altoona to
'Tyrone follows the state highway. A
few weeks ago the line waa laid up
the Hensheytown hill to the borough
Una, W-01'u it was stopped.
' 'A number of sessions of tiie town
council aad  representatives of the
gas company have fbeen held during
the past couple of weeks concerning
laying tha mains in the borough. It
appears 'that the gas company was
not desireous of entering the north
(aide of the borough, due, it is said,
to tack of sufficient users or   s_h-
Jscribers    of the-service, while    the
company did not hesitatet to bring
line over   the streets of the    South
side. This caused some dissemtion on
the   part of the council and at   a
meeting   of this   body held in   the
public building last week the matter
was brought up for discussion. Fin*
ally council decided to permit   the
company to lay mains on the South
side, with the understanding that in
due   time the citizens of the   north
side would receive the service.
The gas company will'engage sufficient force, mostly all workmen of
Bellwood, to complete the line within the shortest possible time. It is
thought that the gas can be t_-*Ssii

THE LITTLE TOWNS
A writer hi Hew York newspaper
recently addressed an appeal to Congress to "do something for the little
towns, for the little towns really are
America." The appeal is a sensible
one, as every citizen will agree. But
the writer's description of me little
{—On being composed of "small, shabby houses set in tangled gardens,
with the smell of ginger bread and
pickling peaches drifting from the
kitchen window to your hungry nose
is all wrong. Those kind of town are
not here any more. They passed out
with the livery stable.
The little town of today has
changed a lot In the life of a single
generation. It is no longer identified
musically by the blacksmith's hammer On the anvil. There are tangled
gardens still, but they are behind
painted houses that face paved
roads. Spring and summer reserve
special showers for the little towns.
There are quiet stores where men
foregather and think sanely of their
nations, undisturbed by the harsh
notes of foreign agitators. There
are centralized schools, attended by
bright faced and quick-witted youth,
ie whose hand the future will be secure.
The small towns, that gave the
world the men who are today highest
in the affairs of the nation, are going to give more of the same kind' of
men to the nation in the years to
come. It is good fotr congress to "do
something for the little towns." But
it is a mistake for anyone to think
that the little towrs are constantly
c'.oi.ig something f-v  tiier.iselves.

HAVE YOUR CAR INSPECTED
With less than three weeks remaining for motor vehicle owners to
comply with the law requiring inspection of their, cars, only about
one-half of the registered vehicles
in the State have been inspected, according to figures obtained by the
Keystone Automobile Club from the.
Department of Revenue.
James J. Whelan, Field Director
of the Club, said that at the 1,642,-
999 motor vehicles registered as of
September   1,   approximately   750^-
000 have been inspected and approved in the period July 1. to September 12.
"The signifiance of these figures
is that nearly 900,000 automobiles
must pass inspection before October
1. Official Inspection Stations will
be taxed to capacity to accommolate
all the remaining cars if they are
submitted in a steady stream beginning this week. If, however,
there is continued' delay in taking
cars to inspection stations it will be
impossible to have all examined and
approved before the end of the inspection period."
For the benefit of motorists not
acquainted with the provisions of
the law, it is explained that there
are two inspection periods—January
1 to March 81, and July 1 t0* September 30. Motor vehicles not equip-
iped with ''approved" stickers aie
barred from the highways in tbe
three-month intervals Between the
inspection periods. Owners of uninspected vehicles are subject to a fine
of $10 and costs or five days in
jail, in default.
