SHRINES Many of the visitors at Pennsylvania's historic shrines this year are wives of officers end enlisted men stationed at various posts in th* Keystone State, according to the Department of Commerce. Letters received in the Department indicate that many of the visitors who have come from all parte of the United States are for the first time seeing the places about whieh they studied during school days- such as Valley Forge and Gettysburg. —The Bulletin is the home town paper and is resd by every member of th* family. —Postponement of the effective date of the office of defense; transportation's mileage rationing for commercial vehicles from Nov. 16 to Dee. 1, givin late applicants another opportunity to obtain certificates ef war necessity In time to continue operations uninterrupted, R.

Problems relating to farm labor, prices, rationing •f fhrm supplies, and transportation—all vital to the success of the nation's food production program ass* year—will be m the forefront not only la th* program taeMJT' CARE IS WATCHWORD Ross L. Leffler, President of the Game commission.urges every hunter to exercise the greatest caution while in tha field tide year. "Every man is needed on the home front," he said, "and every accident will mean a curtailment of the war effort. "We have more at stake today than we ever had before—our freedom, our homes, our very existence—and if we forget that stake for even one moment and through some act of carelessness or indifference cause injury to ourselves or a brother hunter, we will be guilty of violating a sacred trust." Leffler warned against heavy concentration In small areas, or of hunting in parties of more than five. "Every man should wear red; and be absolutely sure he is shooting at legal game before he pulls the trigger," he emphasized. "He should also be sure to sign his license." eee KEEP ON, KEEPING ON In these! trying days of wartime When our faith at times is low- As Hitler and his evil forces Still would fill this world with woe: History Is reassuring— "Tyrants topple"'—soon will dawn Peace, world peace for all the nations— So we'll keep on, keeping on. Heathen Hitler is a symbol Of the world's worst cruelties. His career has brought destruction Wide-spread, u"t*r land and seas. Evil cannot conquer goodness j — So God'a truth moves calmly on. And until peace is established Well just keep on, keeping on. Yes, our soldiers, many thousands Have gone forth to fight the foe. To help liberate the captives— The oppressors overthrow. And we pray that God will guide them . While thia wicked war is on— And we'll help to gain the Vict'iy If we keep on, keeping on. —Ellen Irvin FORESARY RULES MUST RE OBEYED Deliberately using living trees as targets by discharging bullets into, their trunks is a violation of tha State Forest rules, the Department of Forests snd Waters announced. Another form of abuse injurious to timber trees and dangerous to human life, cited by G. Albert Stewart, Secretary of the Department of Forests and Waters, ia that of driving spikes and bolts into trees in order thst parsons may elmb up to observe gam* animals, especially dear. State Forest rangers report that in time the woody growth of the trees covers these spikes and bolts. .Later when trees are felled snd taken to the sawmills, serious accidents are liable to result from swiftly running saws striking the imbedded iron. Circular saws in a modern sawmill may operate at speeds as high as 10,000 feet per minute, rim travel. Th* centrifugal force and tension of these thin saws ar* very great and upon striking an object, such aa a spike or steel bullet ia the wood, they may break into pieces With considerable risk to the operators. The thoughtless hunter who shoots into a young sapling merely for the purpose of target practice may be the cans* many years later, of the death of an individual. ♦ *>*» HELD ANNUAL ROLL CALL The annual roU call of th* Bellwood Woman's Christian Temper a nee Union waa held on Tuesday afternoon at th* horn* of Mrs. John 7. Chilton on South Tuckahoe street, with large attendance and splendid interest. Devotions which opened the meeting were in charge of Mrs. W. R. Moore and the theme wa* "Tb_Miksgiving."

Brief reports were received from members who had attended the county institute recently held in Altoona. The next meeting will ba a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. A. D. Mitchell, Stewart street, Dee- ember 16. <n» SCHOOL TEACHERS LOST f Public school* are losing too many of their most efficient teachers -through selective service, says Dr. M. R. Trabue, dean of th* School of Education at the Pennsylvania State College and also chairman of the Wartime Committee on Teacher Education appointed in May by Dr Francis B. Haas, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Trabue maintained that under conditions it ia short-sighted to permit wholesale interruption of the technical training of high school youth as ia now taking place, because we must face the possibility tbat this war may not be won in 1948. nor even in 1A45. He stated that citisens of a community should attempt to holld their. teachers who cannot be replaced and whose instruction Is necessary fa preparing children to meat heavy responsibilities created by the war. —The First National bank of th* borough will observe Thanksgiving day by remaining closel all day. —There will be a story hour Sunday afternoon ait 8 $10 o'clock in the Church of the Brethren for all boys and girls of the community up to 16 years.

CARE IS WATCHWORD
Ross L. Leffler, President of the
Game commission.urges every hunter to exercise the greatest caution
while in tha field tide year.
"Every man is needed on the home
front," he said, "and every accident
will mean a curtailment of the war
effort. "We have more at stake today than we ever had before—our
freedom, our homes, our very existence—and if we forget that stake
for even one moment and through
some act of carelessness or indifference cause injury to ourselves or
a brother hunter, we will be guilty
of violating a sacred trust."
Leffler warned against heavy concentration In small areas, or of
hunting in parties of more than
five. "Every man should wear red;
and be absolutely sure he is shooting
at legal game before he pulls the
trigger," he emphasized. "He should
also be sure to sign his license."

KEEP ON, KEEPING ON
In these! trying days of wartime
When our faith at times is low-
As Hitler and his evil forces
Still would fill this world with
woe:
History Is reassuring—
"Tyrants topple"'—soon will dawn
Peace, world peace for all the nations—
So we'll keep on, keeping on.
Heathen Hitler is a symbol
Of the world's worst cruelties.
His career has brought destruction
Wide-spread, u"t*r land and seas.
Evil cannot conquer goodness j —
So God'a truth moves calmly on.
And until peace is established
Well just keep on, keeping on.
Yes, our soldiers, many thousands
Have gone forth to fight the foe.
To help liberate the captives—
The oppressors overthrow.
And we pray that God will guide
them .
While thia wicked war is on—
And we'll help to gain the Vict'iy
If we keep on, keeping on.
—Ellen Irvin
FORESARY RULES
MUST RE OBEYED
Deliberately using living trees as
targets by discharging bullets into,
their trunks is a violation of tha
State Forest rules, the Department of
Forests snd Waters announced.
Another form of abuse injurious
to timber trees and dangerous to
human life, cited by G. Albert Stewart, Secretary of the Department of
Forests and Waters, ia that of driving spikes and bolts into trees in
order thst parsons may elmb up to
observe gam* animals, especially
dear.
State Forest rangers report that
in time the woody growth of the
trees covers these spikes and bolts.
.Later when trees are felled snd
taken to the sawmills, serious accidents are liable to result from
swiftly running saws striking the
imbedded iron.
Circular saws in a modern sawmill may operate at speeds as high
as 10,000 feet per minute, rim
travel. Th* centrifugal force and
tension of these thin saws ar* very
great and upon striking an object,
such aa a spike or steel bullet ia
the wood, they may break into
pieces With considerable risk to the
operators. The thoughtless hunter
who shoots into a young sapling
merely for the purpose of target
practice may be the cans* many
years later, of the death of an individual.
