For illness and injury have not r'rslt with the Bears, and! tonight's cage inaugural in the floor will be their first actual get-together this year. Coach Alex Ufema, however, has a veteran crew to bank on, and despite the slightly medicinal air that pervades the BHS locker rooms, hopes to stage a good show. At the forward pests will be Col-aretto and DeAmico; Wisnieski will hold down the center slot and the guards will be Lancey and Edwards.

Urcho, another veteran upon whom Coach Ufema was counting heavily, is still suffering a hangover from the football season-specifically, a broken collar bone. His absence will be keenly felt by the Bear quint. The main affair with Claysville will begin at 8 o'clock, following a preliminary between the Bentley-ville and California Junior High's. The prelim is scheduled for 7 p. m.

Meanwhile, fans have been advised that the Bentleyville-Erovns-ville court tussle, originally slated for Friday evening, has been post-posted until December 19. The change has been made to permit the coaches' attendance at the cage clinic in State College. The Bentleyville basketball squad, as it stands today, follows: Colaretto, DeAmico, Wisnieski, Lancey, Edwards, Stankovich, Dip-yatic, Besedic, Dryer, Savickas, Masnovi and Farkas. BOWLING BITS BY FRED L. CRISTINA The league race is very interesting due to the Phillies three wins and the Bucco's three losses.

The Buccos and Phillies are tied for first place with 10 wins and 5 losses and the Reds very close with 7 wins and 8 losses. The Big Five was to have bowled Mt. Pleasant on Monday but they called the match off because of crowded alleys. The Reds really gave the Buccos a severe beating. Despite the presence of two "ringers" the Buccos were "off." Lloyd, Harris and Wood were not present and that, can help account for the Buccos loss.

Bill Beveridge was the big "gun" having a 412 pin total but Bill didn't get much aid from his buddies, Lowther had a high of 167. The Reds hit as a team, each having about the same number of pins, Cy Hall proved high with hid 407, Fred Sillman had a nice, high of 160. The Phillies pulled three out of the fire from the Browns due to good stick work by Runco and Kruper. Runco had a 444 total with a nice high of 166. Frank DeArmey again was the big gun with a neat 417 despite a bad second game of 104.

This corner makes the prediction that the Reds will be on top and the Browns not in the, cellar. Features of the match the "off" night of Bobby Lowther, the improved bowling of McCormick, Hez and Nairn, the great number of pins by the great noiss on alleys 3-4, Dame Fortune smiling on Dave Sowers and John Ed-miston, the split pulled by Ray Wise (free bowling), a good bottlo of pop from Francis Nairn, the disappearance of Pete, and the form of "Butch."

1863, and we remained at New Creek until the first of July, when we were ordered to Clear Spring Mountain, Maryland, to keep Lee's army from destroying he route from Williams-port to Cumberland and as we were in camp on the mountain, we could see Lee's army recross the Potomac river after the Gettysburg battle, and it was hard to restrain the men from attacking the army, but the officers would not permit, for their orders were to hold their positions and protect Cumberland, and the railroad. But Gen. Rossor flanked us around to New Creek, and burned all our supplies and forage, which was worth thousands of dollars. About the 8th cf July we were ordered to cross the river at Hancock, when the river bed was full from the heavy rains and the question arose as to who would be the first to try and cross, so that the horses might cross to the other side, and the brave Shan was the one who ventured to go, and he and his horse went over the bank. They went down into 31 feet of water, but came up alright, and his horse struck out for the other side.

Then every man let his horse go, and they all fcllovved him to the other side, then, having made rafts of logs, we floated over tificate cf operation by the Civil Aeronautics Board.

Golden Wedding The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Revetta in. East was the scene Sunday of a jubilant celebration. It was their Golden Wedding.

They were the recipients of a huge cake, many gifts and con gratulations. Although they have been married fifty years, Frank and Mary Revetta, who are aged 86 and 63 respectively, are still hale and hearty. Coming to this county from Italy they were married at Brooklyn, N. Y. and have resided since then in Pittsburgh and Manown.

For the past 34 years they've lived in East Monongahela(, where they own several houses and lots. Mr. Revetta, who is considered as one of the community's "solid citizens," worked for many of the earlier years of his life in coal mines of this district including Monongahela, Gallatin, Catsburg, Black Diamond, Old Peoples. The immediate family consists of Mr. and Mrs.

Revetta and eight of a family of twelve children. They are five sons, Louis, Russell, Clement, Andrew, and Mike, and three daughters, Ann, Rose, Katherine. Clement, Russell and Mike live in Masontown and the rest are local residents. There are also 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The celebration was a real family gathering with nearly all of the group present.

Friendly Circle Club Takes a Tour Thirty-five women, members cf the Friendly Circle club enjoyed a tour of Pittsburgh Friday. The trip was made by bus. Visited were the Heinz plant, Riecks, KDKA, Clarks, Phipps' Conservatory, Buhl Planetarium, Carnegie Museum and the Allegheny County airport. All these places were very interesting and the visitors were received most courteously. Heinz' served many of their 57 varieties, displayed the modern kitchen, and conducted the group through the entire plant.

Riecks showed them the processes of packing ice cream, bottle-capping, milk-pasteurization1; served ice cream and showed a motion picture. At KDKA they were presented at a radio broadcast of the "Merry Macs." The flower-display at the Conservatory was very beautiful. At the airport the group saw many planes coming in and leaving. Personals Stella Maa Parfitt of Sunnyside visited over the holidays with her cousin Muriel Davis. June Porter of Ella Hollow visited over the week-end with her cousin abcut four miles to a little town by the name of Hedgesville, and went into camp.

We remained there three days, when R. E. Lee and his army turned on us and drove us across the river into Maryland again, but the river had fallen and we had no trouble in getting across, but the Johnnies followed us to the river hill and the shot and 1 shell that they sent after us caused us to lose no time in crossing. We made a very narrow escape, as we were about surrounded before we knew it. If the Johnnies had been whipped at Gettysburg, they were not asleep.

And now my memory fails me, for I do not remember where we were or any particular event until November, when we left Ro-rning for Petersburg, where we were until January, 18G4, when we were driven away from there by Gen. Rosser, after capturing cur supplies and forage train on New Year's Day. And the comrades will all remember that as the coldest day on record. The rebs got about 200 horses and mules on that raid, and burned all our wagons loaded, with supplies and grain. The mail did not get in until late on New Year's Eve, and it was after taps that Capt.

Chessrown came to our tent and called on me, saying that he had a New Year's gift for me, ii the shape of a furlough for 15 days, and that I could go to New Creek the next morning with the mail squad, and for me to ride Capt. Speer's black mare, and leave my horse in camp, as Capt. Speer wanted to come to camp. It was 40 miles frcm New Creek to Pittsburgh, and the train was captured about halfway between the points. The mail squad stopped about 12 minutes, and we fed our horses, and were ready to start again when the wagon train drove up, and stopped to feed when we rncved on.

The rebs were lying just over the hill from where we fed and allowed us to get out of sight, v. hen they attacked the train, and it is a mystery to me that they did not capture us as well, inasmuch as we were at their mercy. But we arrived safely at New Creek, with the mail, and then I was at home for 15 days. When I returned I found my command at New Creek, where we remained for some time, when we were ordered to Cumberland, and the 22nd Pennsylvania Regiment formed and remained there until the 28th day of April, when we were ordered to Winchester, and of which I have given a history from that date.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 3 (UP) America's small towns, "forgotten" as far as air mail service is concerned, are coming into their own. Unlike the nation's larger cities on the major air routes, small communities necessarily been more or less "out in the cold'" in regard to direct air mail service. The so-called pickup service apparently has provided the answer to this problem. Several years ago, the idea of picking iup and dropping mail without landing the plane was conceived by an Irwin, man, Dr.

Lytle S. A.dams.. Today, the system has been established on a permanent basis, and soon will be operating to 131 cities in five states. Hook Catches Mail Bag The pickup system eliminates the necessity of large landing fields, which most small towns could not afford. Under the plan in operation, the mail plane sim- ply lowers a hook as it swoops over the field, and the mail bag, suspended between two poles, is picked up.

The plane drops a bag of incoming mail at the same time, and continues on its way. Ail-American Aviation. with headquarters in Pittsburgh, is the air line which operates in the air mail pickup field. It is headed by Ricchard C. duPont, a member of the wealthy Wilmington.
