full force.    Canines   of    all    sizes,
shapes  and colors are roaming  the
streets at will  like  packs  of wolves
in   the   wilds.    While many   of the
roamers are   common   curs    whose
owners,   if they have any,  seem to
take no  care of  them, others of  a
high degree   are   permitted to   run
at     large.      Everyone   'knows    or
should   know  that toe  dog law requires that   dogs   must    be   under
the    control    of    their masters   or
others delegated    for the    purpose.
That the  owners  can be   fined  for
such   violations and • under certain
circumstances    toe    dogs    can    be
killed by officers.    As spring is    at
hand   and growing   things will soon
appear,   great damage will be done
to   gardens    and lawns    by    these
dogs.    Notice is    thus    given that
the    proper officers   are   preparing
to wage  a vigorous  crusade against
dog violators and if the owners do
not wish to get into trouble,    will
take the trouble   to keep their animals within the pale of the law.

LADDERS'
A minister of   international reputation    made    a statement    in a
sermon    that was   most    startling.
He said, "that   every man has his
own   ladder   down   to hell."    That
statement    tells    tba truth    about
human nature    and reminds us of
those capacities   for evil which reside in every breast. There are ladders by which We can rise to heaven
and    there are ladders    which lead
down into   the abyss.    This fact is
not very   pleasant to   contemplate,
but contemplation of it is profitable.
On next Sunday night in the Logan
Valley Baptist    church  Rev. H. G.
Dooley   will  discuss   these  ladders.
The public is cordially invited.
A  SACRED   DRAMA

SPIRIT OF BLUE AND WHITE
Now girls   when the    going is the
hardest,
And    only you   cannot    seem to
score,
You've   thrown    the   ball    at the
basket
Only to see it go on the floor.
You're    opponents    seem    to    be
gaining,
And it looks like you're losing the
fight,
Now's the  time to show   your real
spirit
And fight for tha Blue and White.
You all seem to be shot to pieces,
And    your    coach  dosn't   know
what to say,
The crowd te all in an uproar,
Right now is the time to play.
You've   shown them   what you are
made of
And   have    been   a   good   sport
through the game,
And   girls  with that  kind of playing,
You'll carry Bellwood High on to
fame.
And v now that the game is over
And you may have lost that hard
fight,
We'll know that  you had the right
spirit
And   fought    for the    Blue and
White.

Headquarters at Johnstown was introduced   as the  main   speaker of

the aims    and the purposes of    the
W.   P.  A.  organization    which 'has
developed in the    course of a few

to an organization of vast importance, covering all manner of projects from    small jobs to those    ef

splended  co-operation that  has  always been    evident,    and has contributed    immensely    towards  the
successful  execution    of the work
He stated that, unlike   many sponsors    of   perhaps    less    important
projects who are indifferent and not
sufficiently    interested    to    extend
the  proper  co-operation,     Bellwood
officials have always   been interested in    their project,    have   known
what   they wanted,   and have gone
after it in a streight forward business like manner, which has secured for them the fullest co-operation
of the W. P. A. officials.
It is not likely that Bellwood will
be able to secure a further appropriation of Federal funds for the
sewer project, but it is anticipated
that the present allotment will be
sufficient to complete toe main portions of the sewer, and give service
to all sections except perhaps the
the most sparsley settled areas,
which sections can be compleated as
desired.
