PHONE 2 41H For Further Information SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE IS, 1935 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAN IS DROWNED IN PRIVATE POOL NORTH OF CITY Three Companions Forced to Abandon Rescue Attempts Despite efforts of three companions to save him, William H. Shipe, 26, near Wildwood Park, a caddy at the Blue Ridge Country Club, was drowned yesterday afternoon while swimming in a pool at Beaufort Lodge, along the Linglestown road. Shipe, his brother, Clarence, 19, and Paul Johnson, Rockville, and Joseph Kostelac, 16, 392 South Second street, Steelton, had been caddy ing at the course when they decided to take a plunge in the private pool on the Ehrman B. Mitchell farm.

Kostelac told authorities "Bill dived in the pool and shortly after that appeared struggling in the water. He sank and the rest of us threw off our clothes and jumped into the pool, thinking we could save him. We tried to get hold of him but he grabbed us and dragged us to the bottom of the pool where I got kicked in the stomach. We had to let go and later we couldn't find him." The youths then notified H. M.

Neitz who was working in an orchard nearby. He summoned State Police. Corporal H. Buck bee and Troopers John Frank and M. J.

Walsh arrived with long hooks which they used vainly to recover Shipe's body. Later Fire Chief Earl Swartz and city firemen arrived with other grappling hooks. Nearly two hours later the body was recovered and removed to the Zimmerman funeral parlors at Linglestown. Shipe apparently had an attack of cramps and plunged straight to the bottom, according to Dr. Howard Milliken, county coroner.

Shipe was a graduate of the Herbert Hoover School in Susquehanna township. He was a carrier for the Harrisburg Telegraph for four years. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William E.

Shipe; a brother, Clarence; and two sisters, Ella Mae, 16, and Evelyn Laura, 11. The father is an employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. mitesTmpressions of philippine tour Francis S. Harmon, general secretary of the International committee, Y. M.

C. writes of his impressions on a tour to the Philippines. He was recently in China and thence on the way to Japan and Korea, hoping to arrive in this country about the beginning of August. He says: "The position of the Filipinos today reminds me of that of the man who proposed to a girl and was surprised by her acceptance. Thereupon a long silence ensued broken finally by the girl's anxious query: 'Why don't you say to which the man replied: 'I've said too much "'Immediate, complete, and final independence furnished an admirable slogan for politicians running for office both in the Philippine Islands and in the United States.

Now that the full implications of the recent legislation are confronting Filipino and American leaders both in Manila and in Washington, it will be interesting to see whether the economic difficulties and the international complexities involved, lead to a modification of existing legislation, by mutual agreement before the ten year transition period has elapsed. "In the meantime, as the Commonwealth government is being established and official bonds with the United States are being relaxed, discerning Filipino leaders with whom L. C. Haworth and I talked convinced us of the necessity for strengthening the unofficial bonds which daily assume increasing importance. The cutting of political apron strings' and the shift to long pants' which are proceeding simultaneously, inevitably bring problems to the individual and the nation which the 'older brother' must help to solve.

This is the constructive role which the North American Y. M. C. A.s must continue to play during the critical years ahead. "Mayor Juan Posedas, chief executive of the city of Manila (population 400,000) after receiving us officially at his office, and dining with us one evening, paid us the gracious compliment of coming down to the boat on a sweltering hot afternoon to see us off.

"Numerous other men occupying responsible positions in the three principal cities, Manila, Cebu, and Hollo, confirmed us in the belief that Filipino leaders really regard the Association as one of the most constructive agencies now at work in the Islands." 3 100 BIDS OPENED FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES More than 100 bids for general supplies for the Harrisburg School District were received at the School Board meeting yesterday and are now being tabulated.

Now modern electric ranges are available as low as $79.50 cash Don't you still shudder In horror when you think of last summer's "scorchers" spent over a hot stove in a broiling kitchen? With the hot season well under way, probably even more appealing than the cleanliness, economy, accurate control and time and labor saving advantages of the electric range, Is the cool comfortable kitchen it affords. No longer need you suffer in the stifling heat of an oven heated kitchen on summer days. In the electric range like a thermos bottle the heat, sealed in by thick Insulation, stays in the oven where it belongs, and cannot escape into the kitchen to raise the temperature. The surface units are also carefully designed to reduce heat loss to the surrounding atmosphere.

The units are so constructed that the heat is applied directly to the cooking vessel and can only pass through the vessel and its contents. All the heat Is utilised In cooking the food. This, too, means a great deal in keeping the kitchen cool.
