INTEREST SHOWN IN EDUCATIONAL RELIEF PROGRAM Interest shown at a meeting of the unemployed in the local high school Tuesday evening, may permit the Education Relief Program to get under way for this community within the next week or two. Announcement that facilities of the federal government had been offered the Upper Dauphin district was made last week and at a meetTuesday night, more than twenty unemployed persons of Elizabethville and neighboring townships were in attendance.

Mr. I. D. App, County School Superintendent, who has charge of the program in Harrisburg and Dauphin County presided at the meeting and presented a full explanation of the program, which is designed to offer adults further educational advantages, which might have been interrupted for various reasons in the earlier period of their life.

These blanks will be tabulated and the course arranged in conformity to the desires of the majority and equipment of the local school plant.

WHISTLE'S WHISTLE WAS TARDY Housewives were impatient as dinners grew cold, and employees worked overtime despite hunger pangs all because the watch of the firemen of the Swab Wagon Company had stopped and the whistle that whistled last Thursday noon was tardy. When clocks chimed the noon hour many a local resident were startled by the blast of a whistle that usually marks the hour of 11.30 and signals the waiting wives to set the tables for the men folks. Thoughts of a fire were dispelled only when the electrie fire siren atop the Hose house failed to join its wail to the blast. Piqued curiosity was satisfied when complete explanation was forthcoming that afternoon.
