Pizzica will mark its first great expansion early next month, With the formal opening cf new premises in lower Main street.

Work on the modern, cement block structure on Main Street extension below Twelfth is now being rushed to completion, and it is thought that the firm will bo able to transfer its stock there from 219 Chess street during the early days of November. A formal opening has been tentatively arranged for November 10. Only interior finishing work re mains to be done there. The lot, surrounding the new garage and btretching from Chess to Main street, will also be blacktopped, but this phase of the project is expected to be completed in a few days' time. The new building, 50 feet by 50 feet in dimensions, will contain two offices, a restroom, a stock room and show room in the front portion, facing Main street, and a complete repair shop in rear section.

Merchandise will be stored in a second-floor section. The office plans call for a mahogany finishing, while rich blue composition lines the restroom and corridor. A portable lubricating lift and a car washer capable of throwing water at a pressure of 350 pounds per square inch, will be among the equipment of the repair shop. Only one other car washer of that type now exists in Monongahela. The building itself is modern in every detail, fireproof and insulated to both heat and cold.

Felt padding, with which the roof is lined, said to be the equal cf 10 feet of cement. The paved lot will be the largest of any garage in the city, and will entirely surround the building. Excavations at the garage site were started by Pizzica three years ago, but were halted when City Council prevented the necessary change in the zoning ordinance. The lot was employed as a used car lot and present improvements start there July 1. Pizzica, a native of Monongahela and a life-long citizen of the community, began his automobile career as salesman for Ridgely's in Donora.

Eight years ago he set up his own business in Chess street. 'We hope to serve our old customers better, and, perhaps, to get few new ones at our new quarters," Tizzica said. He will continue to handle De- Soto and Plymouth cars, radios, heaters and other accessories, Mob-ilgas and Socony Vacuum. In addition, a new service will be installed a night service for the convenience of business and professional men who need their automobiles throughout the day. Cars at the garage at night for cleaning, lubricating or other work 11 be ready for use the next morning, Pizzica said.

LEAVES NEW AT NEWCASTLE Departing Priest Feted By 325 Well-Wishers At Farewell Dinner. The Very Reverend Francis M. ivIcCarter, for more than two decades pastor of St.

Luke's Roman Catholic Church in Bentleyville, left this morning for his new parish in New Castle. Ringing in his ears were the cheers of 325 well-wishers, who feted him Wednesday night at a farewell banquet in the Polish Hall. The elaborate program, one of the finest ever tendered a Bentleyville man, was arranged in two days' time after it was learned of Father McCarter's transfer. Mrs. John Beck was the chairman in charge.

The principal address was made by the Rev. Stephen Norosky, pastor of St. Clements Roman Catholic Church, Bentleyville, who said that the townsfolk loved Father McCarter "because his great love for them was daily most expressive." Other features of the program, following the invocation by Father Byrne, of Finleyville, included a violin and flute duet by Kathryn and Josephine Ambrosia; a reading, "Betty At the Baseball Game," by Irene Tokar; and two songs by Regis McNulty, of Ellsworth, "The Rosary," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," accompanied by Fred. Cristina at the piano. Anthony Ambrosia, on behalf of the Viking Club, of which -Father McCarter was a member, then presented the departing priest with a gift.

Another token of appreciation was presented by Bruno Badgewie, representing the altar boys. Father McCarter's mother, who has resided in the borough during her son's long pastorate here, was given a large bouquet of red roses, by the women of the parish. Mrs. Beck made the presentation. The last of the gifts, a purse of money and a gold watch, were then presented to Father McCarter by Michael O'Brien, for the congregation of the church.

The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms and chrysanthemums. Music, throughout the dinner hour, was provided by Frank Angotti's orchestra. The Rev. James Stewart, of Pittsburgh, a former assistant to Father McCarter here, served as toast-master. The Rev.

Father McCarter, dean district priests, has been assigned to St. Mary's Church in New Castle. He will have two assistants under hint there. The Rev. Mark Flannagan, for 18 years pastor of St.

Coleman's Church in Turtle creek, will succeed Father McCarter here. He arrived today and will conduct his first service at St. Luke's Sunday.
