MEET THE METEOR Anent that meteor that was flaring around in the skies the other Thursday night, Mechanics burg's S. H. Hollinger got conforming evidence from Leroy Foster, Wiconisco, and is quick to pass it along to the column. Mr.

Foster wrote Hollinger: "In regard to your letter in the Roundabout column of the Tele graph about the meteor Thursday evening at 6 p. a friend and I saw it. It started in the middle of the sky and fell north. So we are writing this letter to support your testimony. This letter comes from two readers of the Telegraph." (Joseph Mischlen also signs the Mr.

Hollinger's letter: "Dear Sir: We have supporting testimony of the meteor at last "The attached file containing a letter from Leroy Poster Wiconisco. "Since reading a description in the press of, a large meteor seen in Vermont at this same time. I am reasonably certain it was the same one we saw. "The meteor referred to was described by Mr. and Mrs.

John E. Morse, of South Newfane, Vermont, as being about the size of a large automobile headlamp and' disappeared with an audible explosion far to the north. I believe this same article was carried, in The Telegraph some time ago." POLLYANNA? Madame Groundhog will be christened Friday, February 13.

The Old Timer, who knows a thing or two about sports recalls the interchange between Dempsey and Tunney before the Chicago fight the time the referee was tongue tied when it came to counting ten.

UNEMPLOYMENT IS STUDIED IN CITY (Continued) nesses are better off than t.h larger onh, and they are taking up some of the slack, but the main help has been that the oeoDle all over the' city have been employing peopie wnere tney nave never em ployed them before, largely in odd iods, repairs, etc.

"In another two months sorinn will be really with us and with pnng will come quite a consider bie amount of outdoor construe tion work which will be. of course. a great help In taking care of the men who are out of work, but un til then we still have to SDread the ouraen over tne city and take care or these people, and it is much het ter to wire care or tnem by uro vldlng work than it is by providing alms. The vast proportion of thoss out of work In Harrisburg to day wouia mucn prefer to work than to receive charity. Describes Method The latest move which the com mittee is making is to spread over the whole city some of the burden of which the poor are bearing the most now and of which they always bear the most In times of depression.

The committee has experimented with twelve blocks in the city with the Idea of having each one of these blocks support two men: one for takmg care of the furnace and.one for a night watchman. The house holders in the block are to contri bute a very small amount weekly each to obtain this service. The men are being supplied by the Associated Aid Society, which has thor oughly investigated the families and knows them to be in great need of work, and reliable. This experiment was, successful in placing several men and it is proposed to extend it ovre the whole city and put many more to work. At the same time that this work is being done, a committee has been picking out individual cases of particular need and is publishing daily in the papers a story telling of.

a man who need a Job with the idea that this will appeal to the readers and that someone who reads it will have a Job that will fit this particular case. Assistance By Churches "Churches are co operating in that many of them are taking' care of their own unemployed among their congregations. Juniors League Helps "The Junior League has been helping the Associated Aid, in fine shape; the members not only giving their time but also using their cars for carrying the Associated Aid workers back and forth and about the city on errant of mercy. We tae certainly fortunate in hav ing such an active organization and such willing workers among the women of Harrisburg: as found in the Junior League. We are on the last lap of this pretty bad winter and if everyone who is able, will put his shoulder to the wheel now, we can make the last two months easier for the unemployed instead of worse." Mr.

Gannett said that the officers of the 104th Cavalry Pennsylvania National Guard had turned over to him $100, part of the. receipts of the Inaugural Ball. "We were grateful for it, you may be sure," he said. ESlEN Vt THE VsiOTOS CHOKE ME BUT HOVM GOlt4G VsHU. SHE TfcKE CM SHI Htl? UOSWfc HER RESECT rOR, rAc? 1 CELEBRATE 50TII ANNIVERSARY MR.

WITH CHILD WRITERS The verse in this cblumn hot teen collected from the tchoolt in and about Harrisburg. The column is dedicated to the pur' pose of encouraging such creative ability. To day's poem comes from a seventh grade pupil of Lower Paxton. A Little Bird I saw a bird up in a tree, He sang a pretty song for me; And then I gave him things to eat, And then he sang, "Tweet, tweet, tweet." He followed me on down the street And kept on singing, "Tweet, tweet, tweet." He followed me home, and I put him in a cage. WINIFRED RODEN, age 12.

8 END IN YOUR POEM 8 Children are naturally poetic anil usually express themselves just as they feel, if not inhibited. WinU. red's poem reflects this natural, easy flow of rhythm. The break in rhythm in the last line tends to emphasize the tragedy of a gay little bird having its happiness broken. This poem has been iad repeatedly to groups of children and has never failed to elicit sight of pity.
