For a yflar he 'rented the Keisel farm adjoining Upper Dublin Lutheran Church, and then purchased a 16-acre tract at Blue Bell, which he farmed until it was sold. He then was employed as carpenter by the late Leidy B. Hteckler on his operations  about  Ambler.

Mr. and Mrs. Slingluff were mar¬ ried on Dec. 3, 1884, and Mr. Slingluff says that he will never forget that the weather was bitter cold. They resided In this locality all of the nO years Intervening, and 11 years ago removed to Ambler.
They have two sons, Clarence a plasterer of Erdenheim, and T^t'ederick, a truck farmer of Washington Square. Both of whom attended the golden wedding on   Monday.
Mr. Slingluff has three brothers: Casper and Harry, of Blue Eell, and Oeorge, of PIpersville, His sister, Brrnma, and another brother, WUllaJin, are deceased. He has been a mem¬ ber of the Jarrettown Odd Fellows and the Beneficial Society of Blup Bell, both of which have now passed out  of existence.

In this Bertrand Robinson and Ho¬ ward Lindsay comedy, the role of Uncle Ludley runs a close race with that of Janet Dixon, his mother, for laughs, for sympathy, and for affec¬ tion. Uncle .tudley, a bachelor, Is one of the most human, endearing char¬ acters mot in stage lore In many a day. He Is the natural-born glad- hander of his town, tho chap who puts across every civic activity and who Is called upon for his time, and his money, every time the city thinks of something to teg of him. In re¬ turn he hears himself glorified as the town's leading citizen, and Is given loving cups and kind words for hia activity.

and Indications are that the meeting will be attended by police ollicials, memibers ot borough councils and township supervisors from all sections of the  county.
Interest wtill ,|be centered jn the establishment of a county-wide hook¬ up of a fadio system for police work. This association has been making i headway in this radio movement smce the September meeting, which was held in the township building at Al¬ ington. Up to this time there liad been nothing but discussions, com¬ mittee meetings and conferences. Therefore very little had been accom¬ plished, and many are said to have been  discouraged.
To H. Charles Wisler, chief of police of Lower Gwynedd township, who is secretary of the association, goes the credit for having revived interest. Chief Wisler, at the Septeml>er meet¬ ing, called attention to the fact that for almost one year the question of radio for police work In the county has been under consideartlon, but nothing had been accomplished, and ho suggested that an answer be se¬ cured   from   the   county   oflieials.
Prom that meeting substantial pro¬ gress has been accomplished. The only question now is the legality of the necessary appropriation by the county authorities. Major George Wanger, solicitor to County Controller William C Irvin, has given a moat favorable opinion on the question, but up to the present Iwriting Russell Green Esq., solicitor to the county commiss>!i(mers, has not teen heard from. However, the members of the association confidently expect Solictor j Green's opinion to be f.avorable and that It will be rendered In time for the meeting at Pottstown.
Secretary Wialor ia preparing an ex¬ cellent letter to be sent to all mem¬ bers of the association urging their prpsencp, been use other important business also Is to bo transacted in addition to the radio question. At the close of the meeting the members, It Is said, will be entertained by Chief of Police P. B. Scheetz, of the Potts¬ town  police  department.
