BELL RU« B   STACKED
Hundreds of Big Trout Placed ta
Stream Wednesday Morning
Good news for the local trout
fishermen! Hundreds of legal size
trout were placed in Bellwood
streams Wednesday forenoon, and
now they ar* anticipating great
sport with the opening and through
out the entire season. To be exact eighty cans each containing
about fifty nice sized trout, were
received from the Reynoldsdale
State hatchery in Bedford county.
Th* trout arrived ia the borough
by truck ant the driver was met at
the Cornmesser store on Main
street by a number of .enthusiastic
members of the Bellwood Sportsmen's association and proceeded up
Bell run, where the fish were deposited. Being of fair size, from
six to ten inches, it is thought they
will be able to care for themselves
la this natural habitat aad provide
an abundance of sport fer the fishermen during til* legal season.
Bell run, from time immemorial,
ha* ibeen a good mountain trout
stream. It flows about twelve
miles through mountain fastness,
and pure, sparkling water comes
rushing down the mountain aide,
and ia n.everfailing. In days agone,
when this section was scarcely settled, the native who was inclined to
go fishing, found this stream a fisherman's paradise, and the early settlers were quite fond of relating
the big catches mat* at that time.
Then no legal limit for taking trout
had been made by the legislature,
and the old-time fishermen always
spoke of catching fish by the dozen
it not then being uncommon for tie
angler to bring eight Or ten dozen.
But that was in the good old days.
However, conditions have changed ant now the stream does -opt
abound with fish l\ke it did    years

ly to lack of shade, with which tiie
atreauii was one* lined before the
timber was cut. Now there are
more fishermen. Then again the
fish food, in the stream has ibeen denuded, due to the fact that an
abandoned fire clay mine emits
alkali water into the stream at the
very source. (For many years past
the bottom of the stream has been
lined with thia substance which

condition by bringing influence to
bear on sealing the mine.

SOUND SYSTEM PLEASES
Monday night marked the debut
of til* new RCA Victor High Fidelity sound system at the State theatre on Main street and the setting
of a new high mark in the quality
of theatre sound in Bellwood. The
new equipment, which is similar to
the type recently installed in the
new Radio City sup-er-theati-es, in
Rockefeller Centra, New York provided a quality of reproduction
that was revolutionary. According to Messrs. Notopoulos and Gribble, the managers, tit** new system
is actually capable of reproducing
a wider range of sound than many
of the motion pictures now mde can
provide. In any case however,
High Fidelity reproduction gets tiie
utmost out of the recorded film and
literally recreates the sound in all
its origional brilliance.
In tbe .first public demonstration
of the new system and during the
showing of tiie feature picture this
week, decided improvement was
noticable in the natural quality of
the actors' speaking voices, particularly of women's voices, heretofore the most difficult to record and
reproduce because of the high frequencies involved. With the new
High Fidelity apparatus, audible
sound tn a range of from 60 to 10,-
000 cy;lep are faithfully reproduced with' all the delicate shadings of
the human voice which are so distinguishable in actual spe-ch. This
"dymnamic" shading of tone is just
as apparent In the sonorous volume
of a full symphony-orchestra.
This week's audience at the State
w*3 extremely receptive and appreciative of the vast improvement
which tiie new sound represents
over the old, and Responded with
generous applause when the announcement of th* introduction of
the.new sound was made through
tit*. theatre's equipment.
EASTER DANCE A SUCCESS
