New York. Out Of The Past From the files of the Compiler, $tar and Sentinel and Qettysburf Times FIFTY YEARS AGO The borough council In its regular monthly session Wednesday evening in the fire engine- house passed a resolution ing the polke force of the town to arrest all speeders from the highest town official down. Since speeding has become such a common thing on Gettysburg's streets the council was unanimous in its decision that the laws of the borough be enforced regardless of who the violators are. A blaze of inkaown origin, discovered Wednesday night at 11:20 o'clock, gutted the flour miti and elevator of the Hanover Milling Company, located along the Pennsylvania Railroad on High in the western part of borough, causing a loss of Sketches By Ben Burroughs "THOUGHTS OF YOU" When I leave you in the morning to go forth to face the day thoughts of you are always with me matters not how rough the way seems as thdugh you're walking with me everywhere I chance to go giving me the faith I'm needing to cope with my worldly woe through the rain I see you smiling and your arms are open wide just the thought of you my darling makes me go with new-found pride throughout each day however long you're always standing near telling me to onward go without a trace of fear thoughts of you replace the bad tunes with moments aglow with hope so it 'is I'm to the steepest kind of slopes that's how it goes through every day whatever comes to be I am always with you and you are close to me and when things are stacked against me and I lack the will to try just thoughts of you my dearest give me strength in great supply. Littlestown News Second False Alarm From Apartments Littlestown firemen received their second false alarm fire call to the Roberta Jean Apartments on Roberta Jean in the west- jern section of town, at 10:55 Tuesday evening.

Firemen received a false alarm call to the same place Friday. Fire Chief Richard Stuller said the caller told them there was a fire in the living room of one of the apartments. Upon arriving, Stuller said, they found no fire. Early Friday evening, Stuller said, they received a call concerning an explosion at the same apartment complex. However, there was no explosion.

In both cases, Stuller said, the anonymous caller gave the names of tenants who reside in the apartments. An investigation is continuing. Today's Talk CHEERFULNESS By George Matthew Adams Were I to be asked what is the most striking characteristic of birds, I would say cheerfulness. They go about their day with the utmost satisfaction -singing as they work building their home, and singing as they feed their young. At almost any hour of the day their song can be heard.

Happy, cheerful creatures. We never get a single note of any complaints that they may have if they have any. Cheerfulness is the habit of birds, as indeed it must be with most animals, though they are less expressive of it than birds. Man is the star performer, when it comes to complaining. He will have a pain and he wants everyone about him to know about it.

If he has ill luck, he begins to broadcast the fact. How rare is that individual who keeps his complaints to himself and bears his burden of misfortune with a smile! A schoolmate of Dr. Samuel Johnson became famous for one expression. In late life he called upon the famous doctor and after listening to him said: You are a philosopher, Dr. Johflson.

too, have tried to be one, but I didn't know how Littlestown News Briefs A reorganizational meeting of the Littlestown Community Volleyball Leogue for Men was held recently at the Community Center when the following officers were elected: President, Bruce Crouse; vice-president, Larry L. Unger; secretary-treasurer, Loy L. King. The league will begin the with the first game on October 14. The teams have been established and the teams and their captains are as follows: Eagles, Loy L.

King; St. Paul's Luther an Church, Lloyd T. Bortner St. John's Lutheran Church, Edward Strevig; Towne Theatre, Bruce Crouse; Jaycees, Larry L. Unger: Littlestown! Area School District Faculty and I Hadco Aluriinum Products, I the latter two captains to bej announced later.

They willj return to Littlestown at 2:30 p.j m. Each girl is to take a green stick, hot dog and roll, sit-a-' pon and permission slip.

Mrs. is the Sometimes ag children we may i race The faith of the POWs and those who. have been missing in action in North Vietnam is strong, as we have heard from those who have returned. But the courage and faith of the families here is beyond description, Mrs. Charles Edward Cappelli is an excellent example of womanhood at its finest.

She is the wife of Maj. Ed Cappelli, a 105 fighter pilot who has been missing in action since Nov. 17. 1967. The last word of him came from his wingman, who saw him parachute into North Vietnam after his plane was hit by a missile.

For three and one half years she has not heard a word. Raised in a devout Southern Baptist family in Owensboro, Mrs. Cappelli said. "I have exercised my faith all through my life. Faith is like a muscle in the body, if it is not used it becomes weak and useless." In the beginning Mrs.

Cappelli felt. 'This hasn't happened to me. It only happens to someone else. Then I prayed 'God's will be done' and I accepted it. I learned to live one day at a time.

I knew it was going to take a long time." She has been to Paris twice and to Geneva, trying to make some contact with her husband. In the meantime she does double duty as mother and father to her three children. Mrs. Cappelli is an inspiration who gives strength to all. The Ladies Auxiliary to Ocker Snyder Post 321, American Legion, will meet tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the post home.

a.m. of oncoming is with us. Luck was not with Mrs. Helen Bellinger, mother of four. Her tragic death draws attention, once again, to the dangerous condition of Route 34, especially that portion between Flora Dale and Gardners.

Countless accidents, many of them fatal, have occurred on the sharp curves and blind hills of that five mile section. Often a contributing cause, sometimes the primary cause, has been the depressed, narrow, or nonexistent shoulders. I personally know of: two accidents caused when drivers dropped off the concrete and were thrown into the other lane of traffic; one in which a pedestrian was killed on a sboulderless curve near Continental Ceramic; and one caused by the insufficient shoulder at Delp's Store in Idaville. I am sure policemen and volunteer firemen can list many more. The state highway department improved 34 as far north as Flora Dale, then seemingly threw up its hands and hid behind a bale of plans when reaching the most challenging section.

The department's neglect, whether willful or unintentional, is inexcusable. I believe it is time the residents of upper Adams County insist, through political pressures such as petitions, that improvements be made. We do not necessar- i ily seek an expensive relocation iplan that would be years in i fruition: But can we not expect i simple macadam shoulders along this New Deal strip of narrow concrete? How many more families must suffer the sudden horror of accidents and the lasting pain of a parent's death? John Slonaker Gardners R. 1. Pa.

The right front wheel drops off the concrete when we hug our side of the narrow roadway.

We feel the pressure of the concrete ridge against the tire as we turn the wheel to the left. We over-compensate that pressure and are flung toward the lane traffic.
