RENEW PROTESTS AGAINST TERMINAL (Continued) hopeful that councilman tc action will be eventually reclnded. Intalls Coming to City Mr. Ingalls will be in Harrisburg next week, It was said today, may take drastic action to stay, the hand of the Valley Railways In making Walnut street a terminal Rollo C. Sparrow, Wormleysburg, commenting today on the city's action said' that the city officials Instead of favoring the citizens of Harrisburg and the West Shore are favoring the utilities. "It is all wrong for the city officials to decide in favor of the Valley Railways Company, in giving them permission to stop their cars in Walnut street They will block traffic so much that you won't know which way to turn.

Traffii will be blocked in Walnut street and other highways when the change goes into effect." Previously objectors to the change had said the new plan would block Walnut street to such an extent that motorists would be forced to travel over the Market street toll bridge. Theodore Wise, of the Walnut Street Bridge Company, estimated that between 5 to 6 o'clock in the evening there are approxmately 650 automobiles which cross the bridge traveling West, the majority of this number coming from Walnut street. City Officials Wrong "What these people will do to reach the Walnut street bridge when the trolley cars are blocking the main artery to the bridge, I do not know," Wise said. "City officials say that Walnut street is not a main artery of travel That is where they make their mistake. There are thousands of automobiles that pass over the bridge daily." Will Shop on West Shore Mrs.

Oliver Ricci, West ralrview, said, "Well I gues if the city officials have consented to the change there is nothing more to be done about it. The women who do their shopping in Harrisburg will have a longer walk to the stores, and farther to carry their bundles. Well I. will do my shopping on the West Shore and other women whom I know will do the same." Mrs Thomas Chorpenning, 111 Bridge stret, New Cumberland, said "it is a silly plan to make us walk the extra two blocks to the business center of Harrisburg and to market. The merchants of the city will soon realize that they are losing trade from the West Shore residents.

There will be many who will do their shopping on this side of the rive." Banker Resents Injustice John B. Corl, 333 Third street, New Cumberland, president of the New Cumberland Trust Company and treasurer of the West Shore CIt izen's Association, said: "The city and the corporation acted without giving any attention whatsoever to the resolution that had been presented by the West Shore Citizen's Association, representing the people of West Shore. "We resent the injustice that they have done us in scorning our resolution asking that we be given some consideration in the matter." "The businessmen of Harrisburg should take the matter up among themselves, and see to it that the proposed change does not go into effect," Mr. Corl concluded. Ignore All Protests John L.

Bitner, 119 North Enola drive, Enola, president of the West Shore Citizen's Association, said: "The council has Ignored all protesting resolutions, submitted by the residents of the West Shore, people living in Walnut street and protests submitted by Percy Ingalls, president of the Walnut Street Bridge Com pany." "There seems to be nothing more to be done to stop the change. The City Council has the authority to do as it pleases, but it was poor judgment to pass such a measure Tney wui no aoubt realize soon enough the congestion that will re suit from the change." 4 Plan Church Night Church Night will be observed to night at Christ Lutheran Church with "The Sermon on the Mount" as the theme for the acting pastor, tne Rev. Homer E. Blough. i PERSONALS Mr.

I III to a tie as his WEDNESDAY EVENING LEGISLATIVE ROMANCE Bart Richards, of Green Castle, one of the youngest members of the State House of Representatives and his fiancee, Miss Elizabeth Wein gartner, daughter of Senator George Castle, snapped "between acts" at one tol recently. Mr. Richards and Miss Weingartner announced their engagement shortly after the election this fall which sent the youthful representative back to Harrisburg for a third term.

The marriage will take place in June. 'Hansel and Gretel' Draws Much' Applause From Small Majestic Audience There was only one thing wrong at the Majestic last night as the Wednesday Club "with the Harris burg Symphony Orchestra present ed Humperdink's fairy opera, "Han sel and Gretel." There wasn't enough audience. The downstairs section was barely half filled. Those who took part in the pre sentation, which approach perfec tion, deserved more, A full house would have been meager enough appreciation for their performance As it was the applause that rolled over the footlights would have done credit to a larger crowd. The sev eral hundred there frankly enjoyed the tuneful numbers and the lobby comment was eloquent.

Here are some overheard during the exit: "Harrisburg has scored again." "This town has the talent." "Wasn't Marion Strouse great." "Bob Dilworth can sing and act." "Where was everybody They missed something." And that's just a few. ''Hansel and Gretel" was a success. This reviewer's untutored musical ear told him that and the comments of those who know con firmed. Just one thing. The orchestra, under the direction of George K.

Raudenbush with Jacques Jolas, played beautifully but at times was a tuneful barrier between stage and audience. Just at times. Riding the Broom And every musical moment the orShestra was in accord with the performers. When Eliza Bretz as the witch was in the midst of her broom riding number, the director was figuratively riding a broom on his own account. If he wasn't humming the stirring tune, we're wrong.

Miss Bretz was great in the number. Based on Fairy Tale As you know the work is founded on the tales from tne srotners Grimm, "Babes in the Woods." Gathering strawberries Hansel and Gretel are lulled to sleep by the sandman, Kathryn Keiper, awakened by the dewman, Esther Booda only to fall into the power of the Witch, proprietress of the gingerbread house. The pushing of the old witch into the furnace she was heating lor the caged Hansel brought shrieks of joy from the little girl, who sat beside us. satisfaction to the adult au dience. The little girl, we happen know, is still talking about that scene.

Robert Dilworth, only man in the cast, has histrionic as well as vocal capabilities. His portrayal of the role of Peter, the broommaker, was performance to admire. The bot of "cheer" he brought home with the vegetables looked "Green river' ish." Not sure. Our eyesight Js failing but the bottle modern. Mis Bretz' cigaret lighter, used as the witch's charm, wasn't the light that failed.

It was effective. Our compliments to the scene shifters. There was a minimum of delay. The lighting was well timed and the performers went about their busines like professionals. At Usual Best Marion Strouse and Mrs.

Paul Gable were at their usual best in the title roles, looked the parts. too. Mrs. Florence Ackley Ley directed. The Fairy Doll ballet, an added attraction under the direction of Grace Fenimore Cooper, one of the most delightful dancers we've ever watched, was a work of beauty.

One little girl had our eye and we might well admit the "who?" It was Alma Louise Cadwallader, who looked for all the world like a doll come to life. Miss Helen Bahn was at the piano for the ballet. Others In this number were: The Toymaker, Harold Wells; assistants, Dr. C. C.

The April meeting of the Mlddletown Ministerial Association was held at the Church of God parsonage in North Spring street, Tuesday morning. The paper of the morning was read by the Rev. H. K. Geyer on the theme, "The Religion of The Rev.

A. J. Brettle, the new pastor of the Methodist Church, was received as a member of the association, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 8, 1931 11 LABOR, PENSION BILLS DISCUSSED; WARNS OF HUNGER The way has been opened in the State Senate for further considera tion of legislation to restrict the working hours of minors as the re suit of reconsideration of the vote by which the Salus child labor bill was killed last week.The Senate thu. will vote again on the bill which restricts to forty four hours, instead of fifty one, the weekly hours of minors, and cuts to eight, instead of nine, the number of hours per day. The Senate has passed and sent to the House the Harris bill pro viding for action by the electorate on a constitutional amendment to permit payment of old age pensions, soldiers' bonus and mothers' assist ance.

The bill must be passed again by the 1933 Legislature before being submitted to the voters. Reopening of the legislative ses sions yesterday after the Easter holidays, which brought about cancellation of the regular Monday night session, was coincident with a general speeding up of action on the numerous bills before the Legisla ture. Among the developments at com mittee meetings yesterday was the announcement by an unannounced speaker before the House Committee on Pensions and Gratuities that a "hunger march" demonstration would be staged by a group of unemployed who planned to march to Harrisburg arid appeal to Governor Pinchot for immediate aid on April 21. "BIG BILL" BADLY DEFEATED AT POLLS (Continued) jority of 147,477 by which Thompson won in 1915. A New Deal The result by which the "cowbov" Mayor's aspirations for a fourth term were abruptly ended was haled by his opponents as a "new deal for Chicago." "Chicago," said Robert Isham Randolph, president of the Chicago Association of Commerce, "has redeemed itself.

We've had enough of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. We had told the world that we are prepared to regain our business level and restore our good name." The Mayor elect, who expects to take office soon possibly within the net week took his elevation to the mayorship of America's second city quietly, saying the "whole world" would not be disaDDointed in the new administration. He took a nap after the close of the polls and awoke to find himself win ning. To Make Streets Safe "Criminals," he said, "will find no hiding place here. Our streets will be safe.

Industry and commerce will find the highest encourage ment. We shall at once set our selves to the task of preparing our house for those who shall visit us at the century of progress exhibi tion. This truly begins a new day for Chicago." Bedlam broke loose in the streets of downtown Chicago as shouts of frenzied Cermak supporters hailed his victory over the master show man. Bombs and bullets added to the din, but they were fired harm lessly into the heavens. The out burst of enthusiasm exceeded that of Armistice Day.

There were no disorders last night nor during the aay Balloting. 1 Speaks at Annual Dinner Dr. Gertrude Bussey, professor of philosophy at Goucher College spoke last night at the annual dinner meeting of the Women's University Club at the Civic Club. Mrs. William H.

Lest you forget be reminded that "Holiday," Philip Barry's much acted comedy, will be presented by the Harrisburg Community Theatre in William Penn High School tomorrow night. This performance is by popular request and follows two well attended productions of the play in the theater at Fifteenth and Snoop streets. Lavuua Buckwaiter, whom we liked so much in "Illicit" and "The Guardsman," has the top role of Linda Seton, created on the stage by Hope Williams and carried to the screen by Ann Harding. Missed the' two other performances and unless something happens we're going to try to get to William' Penn, write a piece, which you can read Friday or let alone. Here now: Mostly films.
