But in the third quarter, Clearfield tallied nine points as Brookville went scoreless, the stanza closing with the Bisons in a 21-19 lead. And they battled through the fourth period to finish the regulation playing time knotted at 27-27.

During the first half of January, Pennsylvania's General Assistance rolls increased by 549 cases (1,465 persons), bringing the total receiving this type of aid to 28,866 cases containing 48,491 persons. A seasonal upturn in assistance rolls following Christmas is a normal expectancy, chiefly because of reductions in labor requirements for sales and distribution. Another factor also normally contributing to all upswing during the winter months is that, in the rural regions, many persons who have farm employment during the farming season are. unable to accumulate enough to last them through the winter and are unable to find jobs in the off season.

The small size of the January 1947 upturn may be regarded as a sign of good business conditions.

fence specifications and the items of business committee of the group service men of this evening. Hasson RockEngineer Fred D. Sayer the athletic field as a Harry T. Coleman was chosenas treasurer of the group which adopted "Brookville Memorial Park Association" as its name. Seven of the ten members of the committee were present.

While no definite goal, in money, has been set for final completion of the project, it is expected nearly $50,000 will ultimately be required for the setup which is expected to include baseball and football fields, lights for night games, permanent grandstand, playground, swimming pool and accommodations for other athletic events. Original estimates called for approximately 2,500 feet of fence to enclose the area to be used, but a slight rearrangement and the elimination of fencing on the east side, next to the creeks, will make it necessary to use only 1,660 feet of fencing. Roughly $1,000 will be saved by this change. Four twelve-foot and two six-foot gates are included in the specifications now being prepared by Mr. Sayer for submission to various fence manufacturers for bids.

AN new developments have come up in regard to lights for night games, but it is expected--if funds are made available--that lights and fencing will be installed this spring, in time for the opening of baseball season. Plans were discussed at Monday's meeting for raising funds and it is expected some announcement will be made soon. Contributions may be made at any time to Harry G. Smail, financial chairman, or any member of the general committee. Harry Parker Died Tuesday In Brook ville Was Member Of Port Barnett.
