"Authorities estimate universal a-doption of centralized purchasing would save 5 per cent, or $25,811,700 of the $516,234,000 spent annually by local governments in the state," Mrs. Mucklestone, who is a former national president of the American Legion Auxiliary, declared. "An average saving of 5.6 per cent or $28,909,104 would be realized thru personnel selection by merit. Pursuit ships cost $65,000 each and light armored tanks, $17,500. "Other economics, such as institution of sound budgetary methods, consolidating governmental units, proper planning and abolition of obsolete and unnecessary offices would save additioal millions.

If local governments thruout the nation would eliminate inefficiency and waste by the adoption of these methods the total sum saved would more than offset the $994,400,000 to be raised annually through the National Defense Tax Act which went into effect July 1. "Every loyal American favors the rearmament of our nation now regardless of cost. But while taxpayers are paying this bill, they have a right to expect local governments make every effort to save where essential services will not be sacrificed. "Citizens everywhere are performing a patriotic service of the highest order when they urge efficient administrative methods on their local officials.

Fifty years a newspaperman and an active Republican since 1904, Waddy George of York has come over to the Democrats. He is ardently supporting United States Senator Joseph Guffey for re-election and predicts certain victory for tho entire Democratic ticket in the State in November. Back in 1896, Waddy George while free lancing in and around Pittsburgh, met Joseph Guffey then a young man who was sponsoring another young Democrat, William Jennings Bryan, for the presidency. It was young Guffey who was raising the funds to finance the Nabras-kan's campaign in Pennsylvania. Contributions -were meager.

Nothing could be expected from the banks but the proletariat chipped in. Many years later Mr. Bryan in conversation with Waddy George reminisced on that memorable campaign. The great commoner said "That man Guffey proved a marvel in management of my campaign in Pennsylvania. The only money we had to spend in the state was $10,000 and Joe Guffey placed every dollar of that in key spots where it was most effective." After predicting that Joseph Guffey would some day be elected to the U.

S. Senate (that was in 1912) Mr. Bryan resumed: "You know I made a remarkable run in Pennsylvania in '96. I still believe that if my friend Joe could had half the sum spent in Pennsylvania by the Republicans that year, we would have carried the state. We nearly did." William Jennings Bryan has passed on.

Waddy George has lived to see the Bryan prediction relative to Joseph Guffey going to the senate come true. Now the veteran of the press is predicting that the senator will repeat this fall in a great Democratic landslide. Waddy George will spend an Autumn vacation voluntarily campaigning for the Senator, because of the friendship formed in Pittsburgh in 1896. He will be in McConnellsburg Oct. 8 and 9 when he will be pleased to meet the voters here, he informs the Fulton Democrat, presided.

The program for the day was in charge of Mrs. James Guyer whose topic was "Historical Notes of Fulton County," Mrs. Guyer had collected a number of true stories going back to the first surveying of Fulton county, its early settlers. industries, schools, roads, telling the story of the first surveying and work done on the road that is now our Dream Highway.
