UT ADDY" WARBUCKS was in I 1 the Sec, having been tipped off by Harold Gray, was right there to meet him and find out about Trixie. "Daddy" was busy dictating to four stenographers and refused to be disturbed. At the mention of Trixie, he shut up like a pair of clams at a Quaker meeting. The mention of Mr.

and Mrs. Boris Bleek was another lip buttoner. He continued to dictate, the secretarial pencils fairly flying across the paper. Warbucks reminds of General Johnson. All action.

"Annie is one of the finest little girls I ever knew." he said out of the southeast comer of his mouth as the four stenos stopped simultaneously to check up on their notes. But all readers know that and your correspondent hastily agreed and said, "How about Tnxie. That was the end. "Give him one of the printed statements," he barked to his secretary, "That'll give him all the information he wants. I talk only to Mr.

Gray who draws all my conclusions." And that was that. "All aboard," said the brakeman. sticking his head in the drawing room. And here is the handout: (Ed. Note: If you don't know what a handout is, ask any Cap Hill journalist.) "Daddy" Warbucks maintained a stern silence when question ph tndav about his wife Trixie's whereabouts.

It will be re membered that Mrs. Warbucks, blonde, buxom and fortyish, was alleged to have attempted to swindle her multi millionaire husband. She was also involved in having Orphan Annie placed in southgate School. All this happened about a year ago just prior to the time she sailed with Mr. Warbucks on a trip around the world.

Because he took the trip to recuperate from a nervous breakdown and desired no communication with the outside world, the ship was not equipped with wireless. Did Trixie go native in one of the South Sea isles? Was she captured and made a white goddess by some obscure race of savages? Did she desert Did she die? Does "Daddy" know what happened to her? Mr. Warbucks has not dropped a single clue. The generous heart that beats within that diamond studded bosom may know and then again Warbucks returned from his long cruise Just before Christmas, but Mrs. Warbucks did not return with him.

After a gloriously happy reunion with Annie, who had escaped from South gate School which turned out to be a fancy name for an orphanage, "Daddy" buckled down to the job of pricking up the loose ends of his long neglected business. Into the midst of these difficulties stalked another threat to his happiness. A Mr. and Mrs. Boris Bleek are claiming that Annie is their long lost daughter: "Daddy" is all agog about this menace from the past but he is just as uncommunicative as to his plans as he is regarding the strange absence of Trixie.

Guthrie Urges Care of Patients in General Hospitals Declaring "there is no risk of contagion in treating tuberculosis patients," Dr. Donald Guthrie, of Sayre, president of the Medical Society of Pennsylvania, today urged that general hospitals treat tuberculosis patients and help to reduce the number of such cases. Dr. Guthrie, who is connected with the Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, spoke at the luncheon session of the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society convention at the Penn Harris Hotel. After declaring that "indigent tuberculosis cases should be wards of the State," he explained: "Many of these patients could be taken care of in general hospitals.

This is done in Europe and in some hospitals in the United States. The plan would relieve the present overcrowding in sanatoria and reduce the large waiting list of patients who should have sanatorium or hospital care. There is no risk of contagion in treating tuberculosis patients in general hospitals. Very ill tuberculosis cases and those requiring surgery should be treated in hospitals." Tuberculin test and ray as a means of finding tuberculosis among children and young people was characterized by Arthur M. De wees, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society as "the most significant and promising development in tuberculosis prevention work in Pennsylvania during the year." Short talks were given during the morning session pointing out methods for control and prevention of tuberculosis.

The speakers included: Miss Helen J. Cleaver, executive secretary, Reading Tuberculosis Association; J. Kenneth Winter, exec utive secretary, Erie County Health and Tuberculosis Association; Mrs. Mildred G. Hecker, executive secre tary, Blair County Tuberculosis and Health Society; Miss Lillian O.

Barrow, executive secretary, Pay ette County Tuberculosis Society, and Mrs. Marguerite R. Taylor, executive secretary, Tuberculosis and Health Society of Harrisburg and Dauphin County. A paper by Dr. Kendall Emerson, managing di rector, National Tuberculosis Asso ciation, urged continued effort to secure proper hospitalization for tuberculosis patients.

DEPRESSIONS, WARS AND EARLY LIFE IN WEST FAIRVIEWTOLD Surveyor and Wife Who Lost Sons in World War Recall Scenes in Cross River Towns In the eighties depressions were bigger and longer.

In the nineties wars were shorter, and in the early nineteen hundreds conditions weren't anything to brag about. But with it all things came out all right in the end. Thus seventy four year old C. Carroll, 421 Third street, West Fair view, one time member of the borough council, surveyor, and descendant of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, sums up conditions today. Helped Plot Enola Mr.

Carroll, one of the original surveyors that helped lay out the town of Enola, as well as West Fairview, was one of the first Cumberland county political leaders to demand a six day week for working men, and finds the depression starting in 1930 just a "sissy one." Born at Avalin, Maryland, Mr. Carroll lived there until a cloud burst caused so much damage it was more profitable to move than to rebuild. He and a group of neighbors moved to West Fairview, and of the original members, he is the only one living. Ten Cents a Day During President Cleveland's administration, Mr. Carroll said he was glad to eam ten cents a day, and that many of his friends walked more than three miles to work in a quarry for thirty nine cents a day.

He said he managed to get along by doing odd jobs a training which has always paid him extremely well. Logging Days Memories of the logging days when lumber rafts floated down the Susquehanna river are vivid in Mr. Carroll's mind. He said the old sawmill at the mouth of the Conodoguinet creek was the end of many a logger's trip. Fish were so plentiful there was no need for lines or hooks.

They hopped, or rather, flopped aboard rafts in their jumps after flies. Salmon and shad were plentiful, with the shad run one of the most spectacular fea tures of river life then. Contrary to general belief, Mr. Carroll pointed out that there was little disturbance on the streets in early days of West Shore towns Incidentally Mr. Carroll hal the one and only street ligh in West Fairview fifty years ago.

He put up a pole and then lighted a lantern, which he placed on the pole when night came. Mud was usually ankle deep. Long Members of Church Mrs. Carroll, who is 75, explained that Mr. Carroll and Governor Pinchot should be extremely friendly hereafter, as Mr.

Carroll also is suffering from "shingles" and has not been outdoors since Octo ber. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll have been members of the West (Fairview Methodist Church for more than fifty years, and they will have been married fifty three years in March. Two Sons Killed They are the parents of three children, Charles H.

Carroll, who was killed during the Chateau Thierry drive, and Owen M. Car who was a member of the 28th Ammunition Train, who was killed August 27, 1918, or almost a month LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE: I Don't Harrisburg Telegraph Staff Photographer C. E. CARROLL after his brother. Mr.

Carroll is a descendant of Charles Carroll, signer or the Declaration of Independence and founder of Carrollton, Md. Mr. Carroll said he was extremely interested in the various reasons given by writers of letters to the Harrisburg Telegraph concerning the naming of Enola. Both Mr. and Mrs.

Carroll have been readers of the Telegraph for more than forty years. Enola was the name chosen by Wesley Miller, who owned the farm, on which a station was erected by the Pennsylvania Railroad after it was bought from Mr. Miller, Mr. Carroll said. How It Was Named He and Miller were working on the building, when railroad officials told him "Wes, you name the sta tion." And Miller explained the only name he could think of would be the name of his daughter Enola.

The name stuck. Incidentally, Enola Miller is now married and living York county. Explaining that Enola was orig many wnere Summerdaie is now located, Mr. Carroll said the change was made after the railroad com pany found they could not get enough ground to make additions under way, so they bought the ground where Enola is now located and erected houses there which were later sold to workmen. FARMERS INVITED TO SEE PICTURES OF FAMOUS CATTLE Lantern slides of some of the most famous Ayrshire cattle of Scotland, Canada, and the United States, will be displayed to dairy cattle breeders as part of an illustrated lecture by T.

Remember STATE PLANNING NEW LEGAL MOVE TO TAKECLOISTERS May Buy, Lease or Condemn Historic Site For Park In the near future Pennsylvania! may take its next step in its move to obtain possession of the famousi Ephrata Cloisters and preserve the historical site and its valuable an 1 tiques as a public park.

Recently the Dauphin County Court denounced the administration; of the Cloisters by the trustees, oust ea tne board and appointed Dr.j John F. Mentzer, of Ephrata, as receiver. In this capacity Dr. Mentzeri is acting as the agent of the court! with the power to make an inven tory of the holdings of the Seventh' Day Baptist sect, including real es state, buildings, deeds, leases andi antiques and to take possession of tnese physical assets. The court order allowed the ousted1 trustees until April 11 for a possib'e appeal from the decision.

If an appeal is not taken by that time thei Commonwealth will be ready to take us next step, a move which State officials are carefully shielding. They are not yet ready to show their hand. If an appeal is taken to a hlchev court the State will have to bide its time until the appeal is settled. In that event the State could onlv acs in the event the higher court would uphold the decision of the Dauphin County Court. And the state's action would have to await the de cision on the appeal.

The proceedings by the State to obtain possession of the Cloister were begun several years ago undSr in act passed by the 1929 Legislature which provides that the Department of Property and Supplies may acquire the Cloisters by purchase, lease, gift or condemnation proceedings on behalf of the State and thas after the State obtains possession of the Cloisters the site shall ba managed, supervised and controlled by the Pennsylvania Historical Commission as an historical place to be known as Ephrata Cloister Park. The State has not indicated whether its first step will be to try to obtain the Cloisters by purchase, gift or lease or whether it will act to condemn the property. The Cloisters were erected in 172S and flourished for many years. The occupants led a simple, industrious community life. In later years however dissension developed among tne descendants of the founders of the sect which culminated in the formation of two boards of trustees, me aisappearance or valuable antiques and the deterioration of the buildings.

In 1929 the State Historical Commission offered $125,000 for purchase of the Cloisters property and antiques but the offer was rejected. Then the State began its suit for ouster of the trustees and withdrawal of the charter which the Cloisters obtained from the State in 1814. The Ephrata Cloisters settlement yas founded by John Conrad Beissel, known as Father Freidsam, who served as its first prior. Today his body rests in the hallowed God's Acre of the sect. Close beside his grave is that of his successor, Peter Miller, called "Jaebez," because of his height.

Peter Miller was gradu ated from Heidelburg University and came to America as a minister of the Reformed Lutheran Church. He was inspired by the life of retirement and solitary communion. He left his church and cast his lot with those who sought the "Woman of the Wilderness" as they styled their ideal of a spiritual life. Still standing, in a fair state of preservation, are the weather beaten nunnery, Saron, or the Sister House, while close by are the Brothers House and the Church. And, under a spreading elm tree.

stands the tent of Corporal A. Stewart, in command of a detail of State Police sent to the Cloisters by the Commonwealth to preserve the relics of the ancient religious sect and prevent their disappear ance.
