BELLWOOD HI HOLDS
ROBERTSDALE
Bellwood's fast High school team
dropped a hard fought battle Saturday to a heavy Robertsdale team on
the local gridiron. Although tiie
local boys had the short end of the
score they can be well proud of
-heir showing, considering the difference in the site of the two teams
A 50-yard run and a 22-yard run
around the end by half back Williams gave the visitors their two
tallies. Morgan kicked the extra
point.
In the last period Bellwood made
a steady 50-yard march, down the
field only to be stopped on the 7
yard Une.
BeUwood made eight first down-
to Robertsdale's six. Bellwood made
40 yards from passes to Roberts-
dale's none. Bellwood tried' seven
passes  Robertsdale  tried  five.
Edmunston, H. Hamilton and L.
Burkholder starred for Bellwood,
Hamilton having the longest run, of
32-yards.
Williams and Leabhart were the

ELECTION ON TUESDAY
OF VITAL CONCERN
The f-U or general election wilt
occur on Tuesday of next week and
the polls will be open on tiie first
floor of the public buiHng hi the
room occupied by the firemen, from
7 a. m. until 7 p. m., where every
qualified voter wUl be permitted to
cast .his ballot according to hto
choice of candidates snd upon a
number of other moral issues. Both:
major parties have placed tickets in
the field, while there are a few
nominations for county and state
offices on the minor parties ticket.
Interest te not lacking for -he
county offices. For sheriff two Republican candidates appear, Mr.
George H. Wolf on the regular
Republican ticket, and Jack Summers, Republican, who won the
the Democratic nomination. Mr.
Wolf carried BeUwood on the Republican ticket at the primary election by a largo majority, and aa
BeUwood and Antis township have.
always beta regarded as. Wolf
strongholds, his strength in the-e '
districts will again assert itself and'
it, fa predicted he win have a big
vote as well throughout the county.
The voters of! the borough and
Antis township will be called upon
to decide upon ihe moral questions
that of selling beer hi tbe two voting districts, and Sunday sports.
Tfhese .matters have been outlined
by the Bellwood Ministerium in a
letter to the public, which appears
in another part of this issue.
For many months paat there } as
been an agitation for municipal
ownership of an electric Ught plant
and the question has been thorough
ly discussed in many meetings of
Ste town council held during tbe
past year. During tiie summer a
Chicago firm was engaged by council to "-like/ a survey of the borough and ascertain tiie approximate
cost of borough installation and
operation. This,   firm made-Ito   re-
aWMSMari
ago, and a number of members of
that body looked upon tt with favor
and have decided to present the
question to the qualified election of
the borough for their decision,
whether or not the town should go
to the expense of creating its own
plant. Thia matter will be decided at the polls. There are pro and
con arguments and before a decision te reached the voter should
carefully weigh the proposition.

NIMRODS WILL HAVE
BANNER SEASON
Hunters of Ifhte section along
with those of the rest of the state
are promised the biggest game bag
in twenty five years acording to Dr.
William H. Moore, Vice president of
the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Game of all kinds have been making a steady increase due to the
protection, fie ed ing and breeding.
TJfhe game supply has been built up
until Pennsylvaia now ranks firat
in the unio for hunting.
More than 500,000, Ucenses have
been issued in the state and this
section  is well represented.
Bellwood sportsmen will have a
fine chance for a big kill tfhis season
for several reasons. In the first
place we have in this section, exceptionally fine mountain woodland,
ideally adapted for raising game.
Another big help has been the
game distribution carried on in thia
locality by the BeUwood Sportsmens
Association. This asociation although less than a year old, have been
very active and through (the help of
the Game Commission were instrumental in distributing _ quite a
number of rabbits, ringneck pheasants, quail, turkey and cpon.
They also distributed turkey feed
during the winter months ami established a number of   deer   licks.
With squirrel showing a natural
increase due to a large food supply
and grouse as hard to hit as even
the Bellwood sportsmen are assure
of some real hunting.

TOLD TO LEAVE TOWN
The effort of an |niposter, in
the person of a young girl, was
nipped in the bud test Tuesday,
when she appeared in the borough
and made a house-to-house canvass
soliciting money. Her method was
to present a note signed by what
Wm supposed to be one off the
school teachers of the North Side
building. Appearing at a home on
South Second street, the suspicion
of the person to whom the note was
handed, was aroused and the lady
promptly phoned to the school
building an it was learned that the
girl was an imposter. Constable
Frank S. Hetrick was at home and
his services were procured and the
young lady overtaken near the
Olivet Baptist church and escorted
before Chief Burgees G. E. Fuoss
who warned her of the gravity of
her offense and told her to depart
from the community at once.

87th BIRTHDAY
Next Monday, November 6, Mrs.

seventh milestone of life. This venerable lady enjoys the friendship
of a large circle of acquaintances,
who will send congratulations, also
many who will pay their respects

where Mrs. McFarland resides.
Beside a crippled right arm and
halting locomotion, owing to a
stroke suffered a few years' ago,
thte cheerful lady lives in her bed-
|room without a murmer of complaint, but a smile for a greeting.
Her attentive children give her
every- consideration. May more
years Ibe added to her life, is the
wish of her many friends.

ACT WISELY
Citizens of BeUwood  Borough:
As Chief Burgess of this Borough
I deem it my duty to ask you to be
thinkers and investigate before you
vote on the Municipal Light Plant.
There are two sides to this question
some truthes and faets on both
sides. I am not a stockholder'fn the
Home Electric Light Co., nor the
Penn Central, but I am a stock
holder in this Borough, and as such
I am interested n our town.
To attempt to lead you blindlly
into voting, is not the intention df
anyone, perhaps, and yet, to my
way of thinkjng the average citizen
is not fully informed on this subject. Space will not permit me to go
into detail in this issue of the Bulletin; but I ask you in all fairness—
where, how, and when are we going
to get this money to secure this
plant? We attempted to build the
sewer project without this knowledge
against the advise of good thinking
people, and our solicitor who felt
that it was impossible, with the result that we spent thousands of
dollars of the tax payers money,
and still have no sewer.
It seems that the same persons
who predicted the sewer "project a
failure view this light plant in the
same way. It is for you to decide
this question, and to do so I ask
you to give it your careful and
thoughtful  considteration.
Believe me most sincere,
GEORGE  E. FUOSS,
Chief Burgess of BeUwood Borough.
