LEWISBURG, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1929 OUR CHAUTAUQUA Chautauqua has come to be rather an institution in Lewis- burg. The record here, as elsewhere, is one of fat and lean years. Last year the local guarantors made up a fair -sized deficit out of their own pockets. Then, after paying nearly enough to buy two season tickets, most of them signed the contract for the 1929 Chautauqua. In an effort to make a more popular appeal to the residents of the community a number of innovations have been made this year.

The program has been reduced to four days. This cuts down the financial burden and is an answer to those who have felt that six days made the sessions tiresome. Then, the schedule was so arranged that the Fourth should provide a break in the program. Instead of the tent, the entire program will be held in the new High School Auditorium. This should eliminate the complaints about noises from passing trains, the heat under the big canvas top and the discomfort in case of stormy weather.

Formerly, receipts over and above the contract were divided between the local organization and the Chautauqua Association. This year all receipts in excess of the contract, including season tickets, single admissions, and reserved seats will go to the local guarantors who in turn, will add the amount to the Lewisburg High School Alumni Association's auditorium fund. LET'S SUPPORT OUR CHAUTAUQUA. NOVELTY BASIS FOR IDEAL TOUR Novelty is the basis for the ideal motor tour and the true motorist is ever on the alert for new places to visit says John O. Lucas, Secretary of the L.

M. which is affiliated with the American Automobile Association. Discussing this feature of motoring, Mr. Lucas quoted from the American Motorist, official A.A.A. publication as follows: "What and where," a subscriber asks, "is the ideal motor tour?" "The ideal tour is the ideal vacation.

"An ideal vacation is not the full business of starting out each morning, reaching a designated town each evening, and dropping into a rocker on a hotel porch to hear vacuous gosuntil bedtime. sip, is a joyous exploration of territory and human types to which one has been a stranger during one's working months. It is complete escape from the humdrum and routine of office and home. It is adventure of eye, ear and speech, a recovered zest for living. "Variety, not loafing, is the soul of fine living.

The jolt of change, not the ease of habit, tunes up the body and freshens the brain. "The ideal tour runs through the Land of Surprise, where Novelty is BELL TO ERECT NEW CABLE LINE Plans have been completed and construction about to start on an almost indestructible cable from Sunbury to Williamsport by the Bell Telephone Co. The new cable will link the two cities with a state wide and national set of cables being installed by the company. The cable being built to provide a continuous service in all the weather conditions. It will eliminate the present open wire system between Sunbury and Williamsport, which has caused considerable trouble during severe storms, according to the company officials.

The line will not follow the highways, but be a direct route between the two centers. Completion of the line is scheduled for the end of August. This cable is of the type being erected thruout the country by' the Bell Co. When the new link is placed the section between Sunbury and Williamsport will be connected with Reading as a central terminal which in turn is connected all thru the state with the larger terminals by the same type of cable. A similar cable between Sunbury and Shamokin was recently completed by the Bell.

The Best Indications Of What We May Expect Unless We Follow A Definite Constructive Plain For The Future Are The Statistics which have been gathered by insurance companies and others, These show that 84 per cent of all the men who are still living at the age of 65 are dependent upon others. No doubt most of these men expected to be well off some day but in most cases they did nothing about it but hope and expect. They followed no definite plan and were unwilling to make sacrifices.

NATIVE OF TOWN ONE OF LIVING TREATY SIGNERS Continued from page one this, I think he would have said that it was in the hope that future fathers and sons would be relieved from the necessity of ever having to make such a sacrifice again. They would have said they believed by going they would help to change the world's military system with the chance of perpetuating peace. They thought the sacrifice well worth while. "The average American thought the end of the war would bring general de-militarism such as was imposed upon Germany, and her allies alone by the Versailles Treaty. It did not bring that all the world.

But Germany benefitted by it- gained tremendously from the de-militarism imposed upon her because it liberated funds and useful labor for other than military purposes. "Of course that treaty not perfect. Many of those made whas it were still embittered by the pas- sions of war and when men are in that frame of mind they don't think very far ahead. Each combatant had special interests and each thought that if his own special program were solved all would be well forever. In drawing document that purported to war, the aim was to "end get the best peace all those diverse interests could agree upon.

We had to do the best we could and you can't satisfy one group without offending another. "I believe the peace then made was the best that could have been made at that time and the conditions then existing. sole choice under. was between the peace on one hand and a continuation of war on the other. "Some people thoughtlessly say the war ought to have been continued.

But for what purpose? It wasn't Germany and her allies that caused any of the difficulty in making the peace. No delay was caused by disputes about terms with them because the peace was not negotiated with them. The sole difficulty was in getting the Allies to agree among themselves upon the terms that were to be imposed. The difficulty would not one whit less and it might have been much greater if the peace had imposed in Berlin. instead of at Versailles.

"There are seeds of war in the territorial changes imposed by the Versailles Treaty unless Europe takes advantage of the machinery provided in that treaty to settle her disputes in some peaceful way. The Alsace Lorraine problem may again cause trouble and new ones may arise out of Teachon, Bessarabia, the Tyrol and Polish corridor, lands lost by Hungary and lands gained by the Czechs and so forth. "I don't bother myself about the question who was guilty of starting the war or whether we were correct in placing the sole responsibility of that guilt upon Germany. I am sure the United States did not start it. It is the kind of a thing people talk a- bout forever.

But I don't know of any war in which it couldn't be said that if either side had not done certain things many years before, the war itself never would have occurred." Gen. Blies with Pevton C. March and John J. Persing, was one of the three full generals in the American service during the war. He lives auietlv in Washington infrequently corresnonding with various men with whom he worked in 1917-18-19.

MANY PRESENT AT REUNION OF THE WINFIELD SCHOOL PLAN AIR RACES AT WILLIAMSPORT The air races to be held in connection with the dedication and official opening of the Williamsport airport Saturday, July 20, have 'received the sanction of the National Aeronautical association which is the United States representative of Federation Aernauticique Internationale according to an announcement made by W. H. Beal, general chairman at a meeting of the chairmen of active committees Tuesday noon at the Lycoming hotel. At the meeting, reports from every committee heard and they all showed that much interest is being taken. Each committee reported a great deal of definite progress accomplished.

The National Aeronautical association was formed in Detroit in 1922 for the development of aeronautics in all its phases. It has chapters organized throughout United States working for development in their communities. It is the offical body of arenoutical contests. World record attempts must be undertaken with the sanction of the contest committee of this association. CORONER SAYS DEATH ACCIDENTAL The Northumberland county coroner, Dr.

J. K. Fisher, on Friday announced that he had found the death Harry Mease, Milton, employee of the local gas company, due to natural causes. Mr. Meese was found lying on the highway a short distance below Milton several weeks ago breathing his last, a time after a sedan with an Ohio license had passed that way.

A member of the State Highway Patrol who resides nearby had seen Meese pass and had noted the approach of the car. The attending physican found the man had died from a broken neck. Coroner Fisher made an exhaustive investigation in which he learned that Meese had no marks of any kind on his body; none of his clothing was torn, and there was no flow of blood from the nostrils, mouth or ears. It was also determined that Meese had been suffering from high blood pressure and had been under treatment for that condition. All circumstances point to the man having suffered a sudden stroke, falling to the highway with the result that his neck was broken.

DR. WEDDELL AT SUNBURY CHURCH "It is a wholesome call that has gone out to the churches to stress today to all evangelical circles obedience law and loyalty to the constitution," Dr. J. W. Weddell declared in a sermon in the First Baptist church, Sunday morning according to a Sunbury paper.

"Let one voice be spoken from pulpit and pew over all the land today, law and order," he continued. "Why should not a great stand be taken by good ciizens for the defense of the home and a good conscience whether it be with reference to prosperity or behavior. "The other day three tried to hold up a bank in a leading city. They were caught in the act and two of the number slain and the other driven to the swamps. Everybody applauded the swiftnesss of punishment.

Why should not the same swift vengeance be meted out to those who are slyly, breaking the temperance law land? Instead of denouncing openly sly criminality here certain New York Senators weep tears of pity over the deaths of lawbreakers who are shot fleeing from outlawry." A good example is more effective than a sermon. Continued from page one happy school days and wished we could live them over again.
