hangup Fourth of JuTy^elebratjon
There will be a parade, ball-^game,
and a'grand display of fireworks in
the evening. If you want to hear thej
eagle scream then go to Altoona for
the entire day.
'—A bake sale will be held at ibe
Bellwood furniture store on Friday
morning at 10 o'cock, under the aus-
\pices of the Gradale Sorority. This
^excellent organisation will be pleased to have the public respond to
this undertaking to raise funds for
a worthy purpose.
—This year the Fourth of July
falls on Saturday, when all tha
* leading stores of the borough, as
well as the First National bank will
observe the event by closing their
' places of business for the entire' day.
The usual holiday hours will prevail at the post office. Restaurants
and small shopkeepers will remain
open.
—Mra. Annie  (Kirkpatrick)  Harmon, daughter af the late Mrs. Margaret Kirkpatrick of this    borough
died on Ssturday at her home    in
Freedom, Beaver county.' She ia survived by her husband, Calvin Har-
iiH-ap mis* i    arm, Wayne iMTCat
via, at home and one grand-daughter
Asms, also at home; one sister, Mrs.
Alice  Watson    of Harrisburg,    and
nephews of Bellwood, Altoona    and
Petersburg.
—Aad now it remains for Miss
Julia Rossi, daughter of Mr. James
Rossi, of the north side, to become
(the champion tro-JH fisher of the
borough, and thus put to shame
aome would-be artists of the masculine gender. One day last week
while the young lady was angling in
the Paradise camp, on Spring creek,
Centre county, was successful in
landing a twenty-inch beautiful
brown trout. And now Miss Rossi is
accorded the palm.
—■Mr. Howard Musser, employed
in the reclammation plant at Cham
bersburg, was a visitor ia town over
tbe week-end. A number of months
ago Mr. Musser suffered an injury
to ane of his eyes while engaged at
work. The injury was severe and it
was necessary to receive treatment
at the Wills Eye hospital in Philadelphia immediatly after the accident occurred, which proved of
much benefit. A number of weeks
ago Mr. Musser returned to his duties snd recently his eyes hsve caus-
eed him much trouble, and upon advice of hia physician ha has again
returned to the Philadelphia hospital for further treatment, having
left Monday, and where it is likely
he will be a patient for some time.
Howard's many Bellwood friends regret that he has again become afflicted and hope that he will receive
permanent help.
—Sportsmen who delight ia angling far tbe gamey bass caa now
have their desires gratified by wending their way to the various streams
ia the state. Fishermen living ia
' tba Juniata valley will no doubt content themselves angling bs the Juniata river, which has always been a
popular stream. According to the
state fish commission tha sport promises to augur well for the disciples of Izaak Walton. Late last fall
the Juniata river, at many times was
heavily stocked with bass from tba
state hatcheries.. After ths wild
flood ia the Juniata last March many
sportsmen became apprehensive far
the fish, as it waa thought by many
that moat sll would be -washed into
the Cheaapeak bay, aever again ta
return tb tbe river. But their fears
have been allayed, aa it is ssid by
many who fished tba stream during tba spring months that many
bass -rare ho shad, which should indicate that there is still tha gamey
base ta tbe stream.

Shonld Prorail  fas Borough   I
The BeUwood Council wisely passed aa ordinance that the citizens
observe the Nation's birthday en
the fourth 'of July In a safe* sip
sane manner. In so doing BeUwood
is keeping step with _ the larger fifties of the country and is showing
good common sense whereby for
days paat tiie hospitals of the land
have admitted scores of people who
have been seriously injured by firearms and the number will be grebt-
ly increased unless the people cejje-
brate in a sensible way.
It has been reported on good authority that more Americans have
been killed in celebrating our nations birth than were killed in the
war that secured us our liberty.
Countless numbers bave lost fingers, handa and eyea by the careless handling of explosives. This insane manner of celebration is rapidly giving "away to vhe safer tH
sane expression of our freedom
from foreign tyranny. __h;j
If fieworks are purchased
the boough they must not be set'
within tbe borough under penalty

are    bedridden and    others of

clothing    and rent are    so    sore

AH loyal citizens are urged to encourage b sensible celebration ofi

PICNIC   PLANS   PROGRESS!
Plans are fast shaping up fer
Bellwood and Aatis Township
munity picnic to be held at
nar*e-*_irA/m-jiWC
iff number of committee       	
were held within the past week an
made their report to Mr. Frank D.
Miller, general chairman of the
undertaking. From the reports received Mr. Miller, as well aa other
prime movers ia the event, are of
tiie firm impression that it will be
the biggest and best outing ever
held by the community. Marked progress has been made thus far, and
from the manner te which tbe business interests af the town are taking hold of the matter, added encouragement is leat to the belief
that the picnic will go down as one
of the largest.
On this occasion there will be
plenty of amusements for all. The
park management will make every
effort to cause everyone to have a
good time. Beside the ball game in
the afternoon, there will be various
contests, followed by dancing on a
pavilion in the afternoon and until
late at night. Plan now to be present at Bellwood and Aatis township's big day in the park.
—The bass fishing season opened
July 1.
—Advertise in the Bulletin and
get customers.
—The Fourth of July coining oa
Saturday will prove a double holiday
to many business men and their
clerks. While the day will not be
specially observed te Bellwood with
a celebration, this**will give many a
chance to motor to the country and
those having summer homes in the
wooded sections and along streams,
will no doubt spend the day and Sunday as weU, to tha wide open and
thus evade the furious noises
during the celebration ia towns and
cities.
—The tourist season ia on. Daily
many autoists from other states
can be seen on the streets and highways, many coming into Pennsylvania for the first time. Tuesday we
met a man and wife and young son
from Illinois, who were tourists ta
the state far the first time. In their
home state they find prairie lands,
and when they arrived ta the Keystone state the beautiful mountain
scenery proved a never-ending sensation. They marveled at the beauty of our landscape, good roads and
^beautiful buildings. Thia is the impression most all visitors get when
first they come to the land of
Penn. Yes, Pennsylvania haa many
beauty spots aad home folks should
take special pleasure to pointing put
to guests from other states our
I wonderful ssaaateto scenery.
MILK LAW TOJE ERFORCEO
Control  Board   Ready   to  Proaeeete
Mora Than 200 Cases
Tbe decision* of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania that the Milk
Control Law is ctonstitufcional will
mean restoration of money to farmers who have been underpaid by
dealers in violation, of the orders of
the Milk Control Board, officials of
the board said Tuesday to an exclusive release to weekly newspapers.
More than 200 cases are ready for
prosecution, tiie board announced.
Dealers who have been prosecuted for improper payment of farmers had heretofore succeeded to
blocking the Board bf having their
cases postponed by tbe courts until
the Supreme Court passed on the
constitutionality of the tow.
The court's granted stay fromi
prosecution to dozens of dealers
who bave been accused of violating
the law. Such rulings affeeted not
only these dealers, "bat also set precedents to other dealers ta the
'State who might otherwise have
feared immediate prosecution," the
Board aaid.
"Besides avoiding immediate payment of the fall amount due the
producers, these dealers also avoid
revocation of their licenses and continued to operate without a license,
all of which had a tendency to encourage a certain class of dealers to
respect the law, the Board or the
Board's rulings.
"Farmers who have complained
that their dealers are paying lass
thaa Board prices and are marking
their sheiks, 'payments on account
pending determination of constitutionality of MUk Control Law by
Supreme Gburt,' may'now look to
the Board for action against such
dealers,"  the  Board  said.
The Board's trained staff of auditors have investigated hundreds of
complaints from farmers of viola-
WM^gt^.-tbe Board's orders during
these investigations, the Board baa
more than two hundred cases of
underpayment in its files ready for
prosecution. Producers who suspect
underpayment for their mUk are invited to send their milk statements
and all other evidence to the MUk
Control Board, Telegraph Building,
Harrisburg.
"We are ready to revoke licenses
of several dealers unless they complete payments to farmers immediatly. Settlement with producers
out of court will be encouraged to
save costs and unfavorable publicity. This should serve as a warning
and friendly advice to the dealers
who may have doubts about our determination to enforce the law to
the limit of our resources," an official of the Board said today.
SPORTSMEN JRJEET FRIDAY
Local AaiualaSten Will Maat to Re-
f-alar   Session   Toanorrw   Night
The Bellwood Sportsmen's Association will hold their regular monthly meeting Friday night at 8
o'clock ta the Cornmesser building.

have been scheduled for this night,

ness will occupy the whole evening.
However the nature of this business should prove extremely, interesting to the sportsmen.
A delegation from the Blandburg
Association have signified their intentions of being present at this
meeting and will give an account of
the stream purification work that
h being carried on in Cambria-
county. The Blandburg boys have
been exceedingly active in stream
improvement work. They have taken
advantage of Aa State projects for
sealing up abandoned mine shafts
and ara making great strides in reclaiming streams that have heretofore been useless for fishing. Their
report will have especial interest to
the local club, as some of this mine
sealing will benefit, what we consider, our own streams,.   .
The Park Commission has a late
report SB tiie status of tin proposed
fish dam project aad will make a
reports at this time. The Game and
Fish Committees will also have reports to submft on game and fish
released.
