a fall of about eight inches of snow.
The storm wa* general throughout
the eastern part of the country and
was especially severe in the far
k east. Ever since in this section
the ground haa been mantled with
snow, and the local weather prog-
nosticators say it will remain with
us until the blue birds coma- in "the
spring time. Be that as it may, the
storm caught many napping and
were not anticipating toe early
arrival of winter.

We are now in the danger Bene

to the autumn and winter months,
when conditio* are uncertain, that
traffic accidents occur most frequently. "^'l*?*Sjj
During the next few months motorists should I aw more caution
than at any other time of the year.
Early darkness, along with the rush
hours on city streets, makes driving
more hazardous. Wet leaves'' on
city streets and highways present
an unsuspected slippery condition.
Fog is widely prevalent at this time
of the year. And the first appearance of snow or sleet oft-times
takes drivers unaware and may lead
to disastrous results.
Such conditions are factors over
which the Department of Highways
has no control except to take measures to reduce toe hazards and warn
motorists of the dangers ahead.

For years deer have been tt
usually plentiful everywhere in
mountain counties of the state,
while many are found in the eastern
agricultural counties. This year the
Game Commission at Harrisburg
issued an edict permitting the Billing of anterlee* deer and the hunters have taken advantage of the
opportunity to get their share.
There is a diversified opinion as to
introduced on our highways   during | th* wisdom of killing the   doe dee*
and especially in such vast numbers.
It is contended that they have become a nuisance in many counties
of. the commonwealth, irr the mountain counties especially where they-
exist to droves, and when food be*
comes scarce they made raids on to*
fields of the farmers, who have put
up an everlating complaint, which
impelled toe Game Commission to
issue the edict.
Just what will be the outcome of
the 1938 doe season can be determined in the near future* hunting
seasons. Should1 the deer become
scarcer then it will be seen that it
was unwise to permit such wholesale killing of the does. However,^
some action was necessary as the
deer of the female specie were multiplying too rapidly for the male
deer.

Luminous paint that glows with
the reflection of automobile headlights upon it is replacing ordinary
paint as a white line** guiae. These
new white strips are more readily
seen on rainy nights. In areas
where fog is prevalent, broken yellow lines are painted in tne centei
f f the road and are easily dlscernea
by motorists in heavy fog.
A third lane on hills for trucks
is welcomed by passenger traffic.
Two lanes are designated for ascending traffic, permitting motorists
to pass slow-moving trucks with
safety, and the third lane only is
fer descending vehicles.
Reflector    buttons,    installed   on
the    white    line,    guide    motorists

Many are saved from straying
off the road by white discs, finished
to luminous paint, which are posted
near the edge of the shoulder to outline the course of the road.
These innovations, ot course,
serve their purpose in every month
of the year. In addition to these
is the Department vast snow removal program that keeps the highways open throughout " the winter.
And even when roads are free of
snow the crews keep on the lookout
for slippery conditions on hills and
curves, correcting them by scattering cinders.

TOMORROWS'  TAXES
Ne longer can the American citisen look abroad at tite heavy to*
burden borne by the European citisen and with a sigh of relief thank
providence that he is not cursed
with an equally heavy burden. 'The
shoe is on toe other foot. Actual
cost of government in this country
now challenges that of Great
Britain.
According to figures compiled by
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, "American taxes in 1937
were 47 per cent more than in
1928 and 82 per cent more than to
1928.
"British per capita taxes, on the
contrary were 5 per eent less in
1987 then in 1928 and only about
5 per cent more than in 1928,"
Actual per capita taxes collected
in this country about equal the per
capita tax in Britain. But, Britain
has steadfastly cluing to a balanced
budget, or very close to one, while
since 1980 this country has squandered itself into the red to the tune
of $24,000,000,000! In other words
there are $24,000,000,000 of deferred taxes hanging over the head of
American citizens which eventually
must be paid. Otherwise, every man
woman and child in the country will
suffer the intolerable -hardship of
^national  bankruptcy.

CALLED TO RAILROAD FIRE
A defective electric cable was
responsible for a fire in the P. R. R.
Bell tower located about a mile
from the local passenger depot last
Saturday evening. Mr. Charles
Rumbarger, the opeator was on
duty at the time, and an alarm was
sent to the public building in the
borough, which brought the firemen
to the scene of toe blase. The lire-
men soon arrived at tbe tower,
but were much hampered in fighting
the blaze, due to the train movement, and it was necessary to stop
all traffic until a stream of water
could be played on the burning
structure. The firemen used chemicals and the booster pumper which
is attached to the fire truck before
the fire was brought under control.
P. R. R. employees were called from
Altoona, who placed the tower
In condition for service, which was
not interrupted very long. The
loss is estimated at $400.00
STATE DISMISSES 700
Approximately 700 state workers

Social Security Board . in Washington," said officials of tha division.
They explained the federal agency
"held that administrative costs of
any state agency should not exceed
10 per cent of the total contributions."

MANY BEARS KILLED
Killing    of bears    in the six-day
.season will exceed the    total   1987
kill  of 687, the    Game Commission   •
predicted.
"Good kills have been reported to
Lycoming, Sullivan, Jefferson, Forest and Warren Counties. Camps
in sections of Snyder, Potter and
McKean counties bagged fewer than
last year.
There were lots of bears In still
other sections. Due to food conditions which destroyed beechnuts, a
favorite food, ths bears have forsaken usual habitats for the arses
having plenty of acorns and cornfields, the commission said.
Small game, particularly rabbits,
squirrels and pheasants nave been
caught in large numbers.
Violations of the game laws have
increased 60 per   cent   ever   1987,
largely because of    hunting before   '
the seasons opened.
The commission said tt would
continue to seise in the fields hunting licenses of persons violating the
laws. Licenses are suspended for
the season or a longer period, depending on the violation. Ia addition those convicted are liable to
fines  or   imprisonment.
