Old Paaeion Law Haa Bees Ripped
firosn the Statute Books
.Every'time there is to be a'judge
elected in a Pennsylvania judicial
district, and especially if a sitting
judge is a candidate for a second
term, i the old pension bugaboo'
looms. It is declared by political
dopesters in the state that several
scores of the finest judges the state
ever had went to defeat because of
that law and its widespread diffusion.        %
The joke of it all is that there is
no such law. True there had been
such a las; at one time and Pennsylvania judges were the strongest
supporters for its repeal; and repealed it -BBS, as a glance at the
pamphlet laws of the 1029 session
of the legislature enactments will
disclose, oa page 844. The repeal
became effective ia Jan 1, 1980.
That's the end of judicial pensions. There's only one other way
for f judge to make sure of a retirement income if he should survive his judicial career and that is
to do just like all other employes of
the state do—join the state employs'
retirement fund.
It is understood tbat any judges
who may have been pensioned under
the old law prior to 1929 and have
been receiving the pension since will
continue to receive it until they die,
bat bo new ones can get it.'
The salaries of judges are paid
eat of the state li-aajlBju not from
thp county treasuries as many people erroneously believe. The sise of
the salary depends upon the population of the judicial district.

LAST DAY TO    REGISTER
Unless yon have previously attended to the important and patriotic duty, today is your last chance
to register in order to entitle yoa to
vote at the primary and general
elections during the fall months.
The registrars an sitting at the regular polling places ia the borough
when you may go and register and
thus entitle you to vote. AH qualified voters should not neglect thia
important duty, yet hundreds will
disqualify themselves from voting
by failing to comply with a recent
aet of the general assembly.
It is regretable bow neglectful the
average voter has become in failing
to register. A report has gone forth
from Harrisburg that less than fifty
per cent of the voters of the state
have failed to register ap until the
present. This means that several
hundred thousand will ba unable to
vote at the primary election ia September and at the general election
in November.

quiet and beautiful Reservoir Park,
at Tyrone on Thursday, Aug. 19th.

about twenty-five lmadreaV situated
midway between Altoona' aad Tyrone. It is ia the center of the celebrated Logan valley, has a healthy
climate, a large mountain reservoir
of fine water with good distribution
system. In addition a new sewer
system is now being installed for
the entire community.
The transportation or shipping facilities are the very best, with tiie
trunk line of the P. R. R. passing
through the center of the town, also a street car line passing through
and extending from Hollidaysburg
and Altoona, on through to Tyrone.
A splendid concrete highway runs
through the town with the William
Penn highway only a mile away.
Splendidly equipped with electric
light and power, natural gas also.
Bellwood has nine churches of
diffennt denominations with a faithful and competent minister in charge
of each. * The town is also well
equipped with educational facilities.
There are high schools and grade
schools located conveniently in different parts ot the town, with well
qualified faculty. Stores of different kinds and physicians of the best
type. A fine printing office and
weekly paper.
Suitable ground is available for
various kinds of industries, at small
post. Also much unemployed labor,
which would be glad for a place of
local employment.
Hence, it fa beleived, that industries or business firms, looking for a
desirable location, will certainly do
well to consider the town and community of Bellwood; a town that has
just recently celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary. The people of Bellwood and community would certainly be glad to welcome a wholesome
industry of any kind.
