Bruce Coles, Who Hunted Here 40 Years, Is Dead Word has been received of the death of Bruce W. Coles of the Pittsburgh area who has hunted in Potter County close to 40 years.

He was an original member of the Baker Run Hunting and Fishing Club in the South Woods. Mr. Coles suffered a coronary at his camp in 1937 and was a patient in Potter County Memorial Hospital for six weeks. Mrs. Coles stayed at Lindy Cottages then at the Crittendon Hotel, making many friends in the community and at Park Methodist Church.

Mrs. Coles lives at 408 Maple Aspinwall, Pa. 15215. Local Youth Apprehended In Hit And Run Accident State police at the Coudersport substation said a hit and run motorist was apprehended Monday evening following an accident at 11:20 p.m. July 6 in Sweden Valley.

Charges will be placed against 17-year-old Gary Goodenough of RD 3, Coudsrsport. Police said Goodenough lost control of his 1965 Oldsmobile sedan while traveling east on Rt. 6. The auto crossed the highway and sideswiped a 1967 Brockway tractor trailer truck operated by Russell C. Lobello of Angello, N.Y.

According to police, the auto skidded a considerable distance and stopped facing the opposite direction. The driver then turned eastbound again and sped away. Damages were estimated at $50 to the truck and $200 to the automobile. and the rest of the world about But Golly is not only old but it. old-fashioned as well.

Been a long time since Golly helped in hay making. Gosh, it is about 75 years. Just the same in those long-gone years A full congregation of 90 people participated in the service of dedication on new pews Sunday at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Galeton. Many former members returned for the day to worship and to renew acquaintances.

"The pews were dedicated to former members who had shown a victorius Mfe in Christ and given that life in his service," said the Rev. Robert E. Damelson. Flowers at the altar were presented to the glory of God and in loving memory of Arthur Johnson by Mrs. Arthur Johnson, and by Victor Swan-son in memory of Mrs.

Gertrude Swanson and Mrs. Gloria Taynton. Additional flowers for the, occasion were presented by Jack CblUns of Galeton. During the service the choir from St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Coudersport sang "The Lord's Following the service, refreshments prepared by the women of the church were served by a committee headed by Mrs.

at the church on the corner of Pine and Adam Galeton. All visitors are welcome. never let the building become Golly rode a mowing machine Many of our local people are off on vacation trips, while old friends among the campers stop by to say "Hello." We enjoy meeting new people too, as they drop foy for then film or a gift to take back home to someone who could not come. In getting acquainted with a couple who stopped by, we realize that all is not as safe as one thinks, up here. They were just arriving on the edge of town when a car made a sudden swerve directly into their lane, and they crashed.

The wife had spent several days in our nice hospital, and the husband had to attend to the many details of getting a badly damaged car repaired. Their vacation was completely ruined, but the interesting thing to me was the attitude they had toward the totally needless accident. They could have ranted and raved about the driver who caused the accident, but they didn't. They spoke of how nicely the police officer handled the matter and of what a fine hospital we had. You had to really put yourself in their place to realize how much inconvenience they had suffered.

We do not know their names, but we just want to say that the Pittsburgh area makes for mighty fine people, and we are very glad that no one was more seriously injured. As we are writing this, the weekend toll is mounting to the top of the worst predictions estimated by the Highway Safety Council. What is there about long weekends which makes so much bloodshed necessary? Can we not stop gambling with our lives, and realize what the experts are saying, and slow down, stop driving if we have had any alcohol, and resist the impulse to push 'ourselves too far, when we are tired? Perhaps some of us need to take the Driver-Re-education Course which is compulsory when a certain number of points have been placed on our driver's license without waiting to be forced to take it. It might save many lives. And maybe some of us need to have our eyes and reaction-time checked.

Age is not always the only cause of slow response in emergencies. In driving around our highways and little dirt roads in the county, we would suggest that people not allow themselves to relax behind the wheel too much, for you never know when a deer may surprise you, or a stranger, unused to the roads, may be clinging to the center, for fear of getting off the road. Play it safe! Drive as if every other driver on the road was near-sighted andor looking for the deer he hopes to "bag" when deer hunting season starts. One other hazard to look out for is the unexpected wisp of fog which can glide before your eyes, making the road disappear, and leaving you wondering where you should drive. Lower your beams and slow down and you will soon toe out on clear road again if you are lucky.

Our second piece of good luck came more recently because our home on North Main Street was left for six or eight months without occupants. Golly's wife had to go to Maple View Rest Home for lack of help to care for her. Golly had help to feed him for two or three years, but illness overtook our 100 per cent helper. Golly struggled along for some months but had to give up. He finally gave in to his daughter Barbara and her husband Joe Heimel, to take up residence with them.

No one could be more kind and thoughtful than they are. So there we were with a furnished home and no one to live in it. Then Lady Luck smiled and Mr. and Mrs. Tyson Kinsell moved in.

Goodness knows we could not ask for more gracious folks. They allow us to sit on their patio and feed the birds, and dream over the fifty years when the place was home. A pleasing couple appeared Monday to greet Old Man Golly. They were Mr. and Mrs.
