IN MEMORIAM "Then fell upon the house a sudden gloom A shadow on those features, fair and thin, And softly, from that hushed and darkened room, Two angels issued, where but one went in." Whereas, Almighty God -in His wisdom has seen fit to take from our midst another dear Sister i in the person of MARY BELLE COLVIN who after a prolonged period. of suffering and poor health passed to the Great Beyond on July 26, 1930, and Whereas, in the passing of Sister Colvin, we are called upon to suffer the breaking of the chain of fraternal associations and to realize another vacant chair in our hood, yet in all we recognize the Divine hand of Providence and humbly bow to His Divine Will realizing that whatever has thus been decreed is always for the best. While we are saddened by this separation yet our loss is her Eternal gain. In the breaking of these earthly ties we are all admonished to "So "live, that when thy summons come to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death Thou and soothed By an unfaltering trust.

Approach thy grave Like one that draws the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." Therefore be it Resolved, that we, the members of Shawnee Rebekah Lodge No. 76, extend our sincere sympathy to the members of the family of our deceased Sister, and that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our Lodge and published in the County papers, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased. Fraternally submitted Goldie M. Wolfe Elizabeth Potts Catharine Wolfe, Committee. OBITUARIES LT.

Vare by emissaries of Gifford Pinchot was the basis of a statement by the Democratic State Chairman from state headquarters in Harrisburg late last week. The chairman said: "Despite denials that carry no weight with any person who knows Gifford Pinchot's penchant for vilification of those who do not blindly follow him only to fawn upon them when he has need of them when he comes to Pennsylvania in search of political preferment, the fact remains that Pinchot's henchmen are now in the midst of a desperate attempt to placate William S. Vare and gain his support in Pinchot's losing. fight for Governor of Pennsylvania." Thus John R. Collins, Chairman of the State Democratic Committee commented upon the reported overtures being made by Samuel S.

Lewis at one time an aspirant for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination, and Auditor General Waters. Those two Pinchot lieutenants were reported to have visited Vare in his Atlantic City summer home over the week-end. "Both Lewis and Waters have vehemently denied that any political significance attaches to their visit," Collins said, "but both have absorbed some of the well known propensities of their master hence it is clear to any person who will take the trouble to read between the lines that their visit was a pure attempt to enlist the aid of the Philadelphia leader. "What Vare will do, despite the promises of patronage that Pinchot the Promiser will make, will turn a deaf ear to the emissaries of the South Sea Fisherman if he remembers and he doubtless does, what Pinchot's promises amounted to when he was governor of the State. When pleas for his support are made he will doubtless recall too that but for Pinchot the Promiser he, Vare, would now be in the U.

S. Senate. Vare's memory is not sO short that he cannot recall the certificate of election to the State issued by Pinchot in which the Promiser said the election had been 'partly bought and partly stolen'and upon which basis the Senate refused to seat the Philadelphian and thus bring to fruition a life long ambition. "When Pinchot's Man Friday talked to Vare the Philadelphian probably remembered that Pennsylvania, through Pinchot's machinations. was denied its rightful representation the Congress of the United States for more than two years.

He remembered the repudiation that always is the fate of Pinchot's promises once these promises have had their desired effect during an election campaign. He remembered the hardships the Pinchot administration placed upon State institutions, upon hospitals, upon libraries, upon welfare activity of all kinds- -things that Vare always has been interested in and for which he has always waged battle so that the common people in Pennsylvania should enjoy the rights and privileges that are their due. He will recall that Pinchot, a millionaire and the husband of a wealthy woman, needs no free hospitalization, needs no free libraries, needs no State aid in order that a meagre income shall not be jeopardized, and hence is only interested in their plight while seeking their votes. "Pinchot may fool some of the people--and he has done it time and time--but he can't fool all the people, especially the Philadelphia leader. His sycophants, Lewis and Waters, probably had a pleasant week-end at the shore but I'll wager the only effect their visit will have will be to strengthen the candidacy of John M.

Hemphill, next Governor of Pennsylvania," Collins concluded. 043098 BOROUGH INSTALLS THIRD TRAFFIC LIGHT STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS HAS WITHHELD APPROVAL OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS A short time ago the attention of the Gazette was called to the following communication: (Copy) August 1, 1930. Mr. Charles Johnson, Secretary Department of Revenue Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Attention: Captain W.

C. Price Dear Sir: Decisions as to approval of operation of traffic signals at the following locations in the Borough of Bedford, Bedford County, are withheld and operation of the signals is to be discontinued pending further investigation: L. R. 39 Richard and Pitt Streets. L.

R. 48 Richard and Penn Streets. Very truly yours James L. Stuart Secretary of Highways A second letter similar to the above concerned the two Traffic Lights in operation in Everett. So far as is known the authorities in Bedford and Everett have not been notified that any action has been taken by the Highway Department as to the approval or disapproval of these signals.

But it is known that the State has banned 64 Traffic signals already in the Philadelphia Suburban district and has a campaign underway to speed up travel on the through highways, and the discontinuance of a large number of these signals throughout Pennsylvania is planned to help this process. The movement is only a beginaccording to W. A. Van Duzer, assistant chief engineer of the Department of Highways, in a letter to Ernest W. Tallman, of the A.

A. A. Club of Philadelphia, which lines new regulations promulgated by the Highway Department concerning installation of new traffic control lights or continuance of those in existance "We are going to eliminate annoying and needless delays to motorists on State highways throughout Pennsylvania by requiring removal of all stop-go signals that are unwarranted by the amount of traffic passing or crossing an intersection," the letter says. In putting this policy into effect Mr. Van Duser says the State Department is making "traffic counts at every intersection where a'light now exists or where local authorities wish to erect one, to determine if the amount, of traffic warrants the signal.

"There must be a total of 500 vehicles an hour entering an intersection and of at least 125 vehicles! an hour entering from the side street, or 250 pedestrians crossing the intersection in an hour to warrant a light. This minimum amount of traffic will be required during the peak hour and is not an average number." SABBATH SCHOOL OFFICERS AND PASTORS TO MEET AUG. 25 A county-wide gathering of county and district Sabbath School officers along with the pastors and Sabbath School Superintendents is planned for Monday afternoon and evening, Aug. 25th. This gathering will be held in the Lutheran Sunday School Rooms, Bedford, and will be in charge of the County Sabbath School Association.

This is intended as a county-wide efficiency gathering. At that time final plans will be made for the last Sunday and last week of September, which is to be county-wide Invitation Week, and for special Rally Day plans for the first Sunday in October when all the schools plan for special programs for that day. At this gathering on August 25th, County President Chester A. Rinanger advises that Mr. Walter E.

Myers of the State Board will be present, and it is desired to have as near as possible a one hundred percent gathering of all the pastors and superintendents with the district and county officers. He suggests also that no speeches are to be made but a conference is to be held where plans can be worked out looking toward greater efficiency in the Sunday Schools of the county, and he expresses a hope that the pastors and superintendents will be interested enough in this their work to be present on August 25th and to give of their counsel in this work.
