Jr.;. aged IS yeara, of Buses, who
wsS kills- early ea the morning af
August 24, but, a abort dtetance
west of the borough, oa the highway
near the ba Estep place fat Antis
township, stat La the offices af
Fuoss a Glass on Mala atreet last
Friday evening, ad heard tha tta*
Itimony af witnesses.
The collision was bald accidental
and the jury returned the following
verdict:
"The death of John L Ifert, Jr., was
das purely to accidental causes, aB
persons implicated in the accident
being absolved of any blame. We
recommend that tho Pennsylvania
state highway department take
action to remedy tha dangeroun eon*
dition at this point of the highway"
The jury was composed of Ralph
8. Taylor, foreman; G. 8. Schenk,
A. B. Foots. H. E. Syling, B. G.
Cathermsn and H. C. Emerick. The
inquest was held at tha Fuoss 6
Glass funeral heme.
From ths foregoing it will readily
ba seen that the jury believet thte
is a dsngeroas spot on the highway
leading front this borough to the
Cambria county line, aad the jury's
conclusions are quite correct At
this particalar point there te a' pronounced dip in the highway, Hum a
steep hill to negotiate. At the crest
af lbs biU is whore thte fatal colli-
tioa occurred. Neither occupants of
tha ear taw one another until they
met head-on, wltb tho fatal result
as noted. Similar conditions exist
oa many af tha highways of the
state, aad tt is spa ar sat ta tha ssa*
eel observer that those ia authority
should endeavor to eliminate all
tuch dangerous placea.

Saag in Anti* Township
One day last wash a bold fleecer
invaded a number of homes of Antis
township, where he tucceeded fat
relieving soma of tits ladies of the
homes of two dollars each by a-very
clever ruts. Hs rJleged that he waa
head of a crew of twelve men who
wars canvasing the district for a
wall known publication and desired
to arrange boarding and lodging for
she of them, while tits other six
would bs accomodated by a near
neighbor, wall known to the lady
with whom he was endeavoring to
get as s subscriber. Two dollars per
day was ths price agreed upon for
the accomodation of the crew of
__; men and they wars .to itwiBiUi
seven days, which would mean some
"pin money" if shs took them. It
wat stipulated by tha party that it
would flrat be necessary for the lady
of the home to become a subscriber
of tbe publication for which ha was
soliciting, and to pay two dollars
down. Thte was the party's schema
gat tiie money and never show
up.
Ths racket was worked quite
successfully st a number of homes
ia Antia township, bat when . tits
party arrived at the home of John
A. Fox, along tha stats highway,
he ran against a snag. Here he
almost succeeded fat victimizing the
lady of the home, bat the head of
ths house appeared on tbe scene
and scenting that it was a doubtful
business transaction demanded the
return of tho two dollars advanced
by Mrs. Fox, which the party handed over, snd than left, wiser, no

THANKSGIVING  SERVICE
Thit year a unique Thanksgiving
union service will be held in   BeUwood. The local ministerium will ba

noma past in the services. The time
will ba eight o'clock    on Thursday
morning, November 80,    and    will
last eaa boar, closing at .9   a.   a_.
and will be held fat the    Methodist
Episcopal church. Some reasons far
selecting this early hour   stay   ba
stated, namely, to give the    housewife tha opportunity of attending,
leaving ample time thereafter    te
prepare the noon-time   meal;   that
hunters may havs time to    attend
service, and ttill have a large portion of the day huntings;   that ball
players may attend and still    havs
plenty of time for the gams;   that
those who dotUe to tend tome home
gathering ar family   reunion,   can
first attend church and   Still   havs
plenty of time for tha journey fifty
or one lisad'stl miles distant. These
with other coudderations   led    ths
ministerium to decide for this year
sa tha early hour. This te sn experiment There witt be    three    short

NEW CHURCH  INCREASES
Many of oar citisens are    nnder
ths impression that Bellwood      hss
(only Bins   churches,    but   a   new
church was    organised tome    time
(ago bringing the total to ten.
Thte last is -M Macedonian
Colored Baptist chnrch, located on
North Fifth street, real's and is
under tha direction of Bev. Weldon.
There services are held regularly
each Sunday, with a constantly
increasing congregation.  .
American Legion, Tyrone, Wl-iam
Bshsrt Fuoss. formerly adjutant af
tha BeUwood American. Legiafa, •
spoke to a capacity audience Friday when Armistice day waa observed by the Negro ex-service men of
Tyrone. The servics waa held fat the
Tyrone A. M. E church, Bev. S. A
Consins, pastor.
Thomas Johnson, World war veteran, presided. A varied musical
program proceeded tits address.
Following tha address of Mr. Fuoss,
brief impromptu remarks were
given by Rev. Cousins, Commander
VanScoyoc aad Sergeant Johnson.
The charch was beautifully decorated for the services, tits first of its
land sponsored by Negro veterans
of the district. The Tyrone American Legion will attend as a body
next year, Rev. Cousins said.
Mr. Fuoss, in poignant manner,
spoke of the futility of war, stressing that it il wasteful of time,
funds, and men; that it is unproductive to thai which endures; that
it is negative rather than positive;
that tt destroys rather than builds
and that, fat the last analysis, ft ia
against the laws of God and man.
StUl, aa he said, he dares not condone a breaking down of the system
of national defenses, taking care
to admonish against the tendencies
of the extreme professional pacifist
who would, the speaker said, "utter
ly abolish ad semblance of national
defense, and shatter national security." He scored thia as extreme
folly, concluding his remarks with
a stirring appeal for peace, a peace
in keeping with the honor and tradition of America.
Disarmament to be effective must
be practical as well as theoretical,
otherwise he said, "tt amounts to
nothing and te, in reality, of no
value in helping promote that peace
we so much desire." Ths speaker
SSld it would be supreme foUy for
America to disarm while Europe
remains an armed camp, leading
him to assert that in view of pet-
tent world disorder ft te no mors
than right that America should stand
prepared for such eventualities as
[may arise. To stand unprepared in
I the face of world disorder is, he
said, "illogical, unfair and unbound."

THIRD  WARD   ALDERMAN
Dear Mayor*.
I want to aay for those of ths
Third wards and fat fact for the
Fourth ward of our borough, that
WS were agreeably surprised when
"Our" (get that) own Bulletin put
1b its appearance again. We knew
it would—you just got to give real
things a chance to tort of relax—ht
fast its hard to, and quite impossible to keep anything down that's
worth while. And now since Its
with us again, and to stay. 1st us
help keep it so with news items,
advertising, etc., together with some
of the "long green," which te very
essential and quite acceptable,    no
doubt.
Mayor, yon are to be congratulated on the way you bridged the
chasm and stepped across tha abyss
and I might Say, and tta evidently
so, that probably some of us with s
long standing subscription (now
paid up) was a Uttle help in putting
it across.
Yours respectfully,
THE ALDERMANj.
P. S.—We got a veiw, fat fact
passed through, Beverly Hills tha
Othsr week. BUI Rodgers wasn't
home—it was butchering time out
there. Guess he was like Dick
Hirsch and I were before we got fat
business and politics—hsd to get
out with a basket and sort of replenish the larder. These hand-outs
at that time sure   fill   a   long-felt
want, 	
THE ALDERMAN.
