the Sunday motion picture issue.
Our borough coiumcil voted to accept

petition on to the county commissioners at Hollidaysburg for their
endorsement which waa granted.
The Bellwood Ministerium waa then
informed on good authority that
the ballot On election day September 17th would contain a space te
Vote yes or no on this Question. To
tiie surprise of many voters they
found no place on the ballot to vote
for or agaiwst Sunday motion pictures in the borough. The explanation is that the state of Pennsylvania decreed that thia vote oa Sunday
motion pictures must wait Until the
election next November.
The Bellwood Ministerium. regrets that it was nOt notified sooner as to the state's ruling on the
vote for Sunday pictures, otherwise
this body Would not have urged the
good1 people of the borough to go
to the polls on Tuesday to vote no.
At any rate every indication is to
