Harrisburgesq ue Notes from a frayed cuff By Nobe Frank Nora Bennett Shunk is celebral big her umptyumpA birthday to day, and thig column wants take time out to wish her many happy return of the day. Nora is one of those happy persons whose last thought is of herself, and despite the fact that she could feel better, never allows that to inter fere in her solicitude for oth ers. A cheery dis osition, a ready smile, and happy thoughts always Nobe Frank that's Nora Bennett Shunk one of Nature's noblewomen. Wonder what happened to Mrs. Frank Allison, who called me the other day from the Locust street servicenter to tell me about the N.

C. O. Club being formed by the noncoms at the New Cumberland Reception Center. The idea was for her to call back to tell me whom to contact in ascertaining: just what kind of equipment the non coms wanted us to help collect. Now, if the lady comes through, we'll try to do an Irish Walker ana help, her locate some furni ture, perhaps a piano, and what ever the boys need.

According to the latest dope, the War Dpartment will grant per mission for Joe Louis to defend his heavyweight title once more in September, and his opponent most likely will be Private Billy Conn. However, the War Depart ment is withholding final approval, and official announcement, until it's certain Conn's hand, oken in the now famous "kitchen fight" with his pappy in law, will heal sufficiently to permit him to fight. We just have a hunch that Conn better be in shape for this battle wi." Joe. In all likelihood, it will be the Brown Bomber's final ap pearance, and if Joe thinks it is, he's going to make it the best effort of his career. If that's the case, little Willie won't be around long certainly not for thirteen rounds as was the case the last time the two met.

And it looks like the Lion's Club has lined up another ten strike for its coming Tuesday meeting. The Rev. Stuart Herman, pastor of the. American Church in Berlin for the past several years, will address the club, and all other service clubs have been invited to attend. The Rev.

Herman has just recently returned to America, and if he can open up, something he couldn't do several years ago, when he last appeared before the club (he was preparing to return to Germany at the time), it's going to be a mighty interesting address. Any others who might be interested in hearing the Rev. Herman can make their reservations by calling Allan Stuart, prexy of the Lions Club. Next Tuesday night will be a good time for some of you late to bed goers to catch up on some shut eye. Inasmuch as all house lights must be dor 2d for the night at 8.30 (unless you have blackout curtains), it looks like a swell op portunity to pull the switch and say night night early.

Anent the Harrisburg baseball team, it appears to this corner that Peters, Senators' third sacker, might do better batting in the third slot than in the clean up po sition. He's been in a serious slump lately and perhaps the fourth spot puts too much of a strain on the lad. At least, it's worth trying. Krone Sohmer Lock Haven, June 19. Miss Frances M.

Sohmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Sohmer, of Lock Haven and Karl A.

Krone, son of Mrs. Florence Krone, also of Lock Haven, were married Saturday evening, June 13, at the Methodist Church, in Bellefonte by the Rev H. C. Stenger, Jr. FRIDAY EVENING MIDDLETOWN: Piano Recital Will Be Given Music Event to Take Place Tonight at St.

With Rod and Gun Outdoors By MICHAEL SEAMAN I A siege of nasty weather is about the only thing that may keep the second annual stag picnic of the Harrisburg Hunters' and Anglers' Association on Sunday from being the largest outdoors men's affair hereabouts this year, Advance ticket sales, $1 each, for the event to be held on the 105 acre game farm in Lower Paxton township indicate the place will be swarmed over by hunters and anglers.

Every member of the largest and most active club in this area has been invited to view the im provements made on the farm in spite of the war and to partici pate in a program of events ar ranged by a committee working under President Barney Motter Events include 16 yard rise trap, sikeet, moskeeto, small bore and pistol range, ham shoot with blocks, balloon shoot and a special gallery shoot at iron birds with a .22 rifle. The picnic will start at 8 a. and continue into the night. The grounds and clubhouse are wired for lights. Bill Douglas, in charge of shooting events, uses yellow clay birds for the "owl shot gunners.

The yellow saucers show up well against a dark background Men. wishing to buy tickets in Harrisburg many do so by phoning 3 9568. They will be on sale at the farm on Sunday. The farm, eight miles east of Harrisburg, is off Route 22 lust beyond Paxton Consolidated School. Di rection arrows will be numerous beyond the school.

Since the war reduced auto travel, the club has suffered a decline in revenue that normally came from special events held Sundays on the farm. The money needed to raise game birds which will arrive in mid July must come from the picnic. A good turnout is needed Sunday to underwrite the feed bill and keep up a pro gram beneficial to all fishermen and hunters in this area. Sounds like a sales talk. So it is.

To raise a large amount oi rinenecks and quail, stock rabbits, feed game in winter, plant winter food plots requires con siderable cash. "We hope the farm will be jammed Sunday so none of the worthwhile projects need be curtailed this summer, fall and winter. And a reminder. The park ing lot is ample. Special parking police will be on the grounds to locate cars so that they can be moved anytime.
