At that time the mountains ant valleys were covered with two oi, three feet of snow and a heavy rain set in for two days, aftei which the Little Juniata river and its tributaries went on the rampage and havoc raigned all along itf source. —March 10 marked! the seven*, tienth anniversary of the birth oi Councilman Frank M. Esbep. To properly commemorate the event a delicious supper (was prepared and served by Mrs. Estep and daughters and was the highlight of the occasion, being served from 5 until 7 o'clock at the home of the councilman on North Cambria street. The children of these esteemed parents were all home and participated in the event. They were Mrs. Harry Laird, of Tyrone; Mrs. T* A. Burkholder, Bellwood; June, of Chicago; Frank Estep, Jr., Mrs, Walker Kerns, of Harrisburg and Mra. Chester Wertz of the borough. Mr. Estep was born in the borough, the son of the late John J. Estep, who was the village blacksmith in years agone, and was an esteemed and active citizen in the community. He was a staunch Republican and all his offspring followed in his footsteps. In his youth our councilman entered the service of tha railroad company and Iwas, s faithful and loyal employe for many years, whetn he waa retired some time ago, having attained tc the responsible position of en- WILLIAM ROBERT FUOSS URGES ENDURING PEACE Pleading vigorously and earnestly for a federation of free nations, a court of international arbitration and a world police force to patrol tbe sea and air lanes after Allied victory in World war No. 2, William Robert Fuoss, Tyrone, spoke Thursday last at the Bellwood-Antis Parent-Teacher March meeting ir the Martin street building. Officers of the association were in their respective places when the meeting convened, much routine matter being transacted before the address of the evening. It was" Father's Day and special music was provided. There was a gooa attendance of patrons and teachers. Mr. Fuoss, in forthright manner, cited there can be enduring peace after victory if and provided, as he pointed out, "We have sufficient faith and foresight to plan foi such a i.'eace". He pointed out, at the very onset, he was not going tc split hairs over the name of the world peace foundation. He said he Was less concerned with the name chosen, more concerned with the serious work the peace structure would accomplish. He spoke at great length of the cause of wars the utter futility of men engaging men in mortal combat. He lauded the peace plan of the late Woodroy Wilson, voicing the opinion the world might not today be engageti in war if men had laid aside selfishness and entered into the spirit of a cooperative society. It will avail nothing, he said, to seat ourselves again at a peace table of hate and revenge. Peace it one thing, revenge another, he cited Unless men enter into peace with free, open minds Work! war No. S is a.ready on the {way, he said. Against this all mankind must struggle heroically, he- stressed. "No one dare be so blinded to Tied up to this holocaust , he ven- tured. "Mo one ('tare be blinded to the fact, moreover, that anothei such slaughter is just around the corner unless we plan for a jusi and enduring peace by all peoples- and all nations. Revenge must be minus quanity this time". "Wars are costly, both in men and materials", he pointed out. "At the'end of World war No. 1 cur national debt was close to 23 billions of dollars. By the time we entered this war, relief and all things considered, it was close tc 43 billions. Today it approximates 100 billions and should this war continue three years it Will reach the staggering figure of 300 billions". "It strikes me", he concluded, "we oiwie something better to the unborn generations than the horroi of another war. I am contsrained to the belief, we can have enduring peace if we will it so to be and. having willed it so to be, every last one of us get into the business of helping formulate a just and enduring p'eace. The cynic and skeptic will give us no assistance but, aside from them, there are millions of men and women who are ready and willing to "exert every possible influence to see this (world shall know one thousand years of peace—men, and women willing to make the effort, men and women who do not except the easy defeatist spirit, men and women who never condemn a thing until it has been tried."
