"Stories in Black and White," a program of music and art, will be presented in the Roosevelt Junior High school auditorium at 3 p. m. Tuesday by Robert Alden Reaser, a well known artist and Miss Bernice Dalzlel, pianist. Tickets are now on sale in the various schools. The programs are unique entertainment.

With swift line drawings done by a sweeping brush on 20 feet of paper, Mr. Reaser recounts humorous and dramatic tales to the accompaniment of descriptive muslo by the best of the composers. According to Junior Programs, Inc. of New York city under which management the entertainment is staged, the sketches of Mr. Reaser are so cleverly and fluently synchronized with the muslo that there is created an extraordinary feeling of rhythmic unity between the two mediums.

The typical program as presented by thse two artist begins with a sketch of James McNeil Whistler and several of the famous Whistler stories. This is followed by an illustrated dog story 0r two. Some amusing episodes chosen from Mr. Reaser's wide experience as a serious artist, a writer, traveler, and sportsman concludes the first half of the program. The second half of the program is taken from "La Boite a Jou-joux," by Andre Helle, music by Claude Debussey.

This is a delightful tale 0f dramatic happenings in a French toyshop. The program has been presented with unqualified success in such schools as Horace Mann Teachers college, Buckley school, New York city, Greenvale, Roslyn, L.

Picture shows some DEATHS Valley Sewer May Be in Use by Spring Possibilities that the Pleasant Valley sewer system may be partially put in operation ate in the spring were seen in the report of H.

J. Baum, city engineer, presented to -il yesterday. Mr. Baum made a detailed report not only of the progress being made in the Pleasant Valley sewer but other works progress administration projects within the city as well. The outfall sewer is 59.2 per cent completed at the present time, he said, and with reasonably good weather it is expected that the entire construction of the main channel will have been finished by the latter part of February.

He explained it would not be necessary to complete the lateral sewer system, complementary to the main channel, before property owners in some sections can make use of the main channel. Work on the several tunnels in the main channel is progressing nicely and it was reported that only about 300 yards of main channel, outside of the tunnels, remains to be completed. Short gaps exist in several sections of the main channel but these will be completed as soon as possible and the work may be finished by the end of the month as far as Plank Road. After that several of the crews will be taken farther along the proposed route and the work of completing the channel in the direction of the filter beds will get under way. When the main channel has been finally completed as far as the Plank Road it will be tied in with the present sewer system in Llys-wen which will care for the service temporarily and which will permit persons rsiding in certain sections along the main channel from Plank Road eastward to connect their service lines with the main channel.

This would be especially true in sections where lateral sewer lines will not need to be laid to connect house lines with the main channel. The city engineer also said yesterday it would be advisable to proceed with the construction of the lateral lines as soon as possible so that the entire system could be placed in operation shortly after the main channel of the outfall sewer is completed. The first section of the lateral system has ben approved by the federal works progress administration. The system was divided into four sections and city officials are confident that early approval will be given the other three sections so that by the middle of the summer or early fall the entire system can be in operation. Arrangements have already been made at the filter beds for the treatment of the additional sewage that will flow there through the new Pleasant Valley lines.

A total of 31,938 lineal feet of pipe, of varying sizes, is required in the outfall sewer. Of this Council Approves Retirements Members of city council only informally discussed the city's 1937 budget yesterday due to the fact that some facts and figures were still unavailable upon which they could make tentative estimates of revenues. It was expected, however, that the discussions would get under way today. Whatever balances remain in 1936 funds if any will have to be considered along with the estimates of revenues for this year derived from taxes, licenses, police court fines and other sources. Until all these figures are collated and the actual totals known on the property assessment it is not possible to proceed, according to one member of the body.

At the regular meeting of the council yesterday morning, in addition to hearing the report of the city engineer on the progress of works progress administration projects, a number of matters were considered including approval of the retirement of six city employes who have attained the retirement age of 65 years. They are: E. Blair Hamilton, police bureau; William J. Gilliland, Clayton A. Lucas; Silas H.

Houck and John Leonard, department of streets and public improvements and Homer H. Hicks, bureau of fire, department of public safety. The retirements of these six employes had been recommended by the pension board. The action becomes effective January 15. Action taken yesterday will be certified to the Insurance company that carries the city's death, sick, accident and pension benefit system.

Council passed a resolution for the transfer of $539.25 in the department of public safety, from one item to another. A bill of for repairs to a car of a IeV Lawbacher was ordered paid. The car was damaged in a collision with a fire truck being taken from No. 4 fire station. A resolution also was passed for the adjustment of the treasurer's sale account for the year 1931.

There was a balance from the years of 1929 and 1930 and the books were adjusted by the application if the sum of $252.34 from those years to the deficit for 1931. The action was upon the recommendation of William T. Canan, city controller. Woman Mayor Returns To Housework DAYTONA BEACH, Jan. 5.

(IP) Mayor Irene Armstrong went back to her neglected housework todav after the calming po litical situation allowed police to quit their five-day tour, of guaro duty at city hall. Announcing the fortified city hall would be open tomorrow, the grandmother-mayor administered a parting verbal slap to Dave Sholtz, one-time Daytonian whose term as Florida's governor ended at noon today, "Now David Sholtz no longer is governor, we have nothing to fear of further attempts to Invade the city hall," Mayor Armstrong Supreme court will decide the issues involved, and I will its judgment." Sholtz ordered Mrs. Armstrong and three companion city commis sioners ousted on charges of overspending the city's 1936 budget. Incompetency, and lack "of sound judgment." Catholic Leaders Urged Not to Leave Rome VATICAN CITY, Jan. 5 (IP) Cardinals heading congregations or executive departments of the Roman Catholic church have been asked not to leave Rome or Vatican city because of Pope Pius' illness, a reliable source said tonight.

The 79-year-old pontiff was raised almost to a sitting position in his bed in an effort by his physician Dr. Aminta Milani, to overcome some of the difficulty he experienced in breathing because of asthma, one of the many ailments from which he suffers. He was given an injection to stimulate his kidney action, and Dr. Milani ordered that this be repeated every four days.

Blair Poor Tax One-Half Mill by Reduction of the Blair county poor tax rate by one-half mill was voted unanimously by directors of the poor in annual session yesterday morning at the county home. In voting the reduction, the directors set the rate for the current year at four and one-half mills, earmarking one mill for the sinking fund, and setting the remaining three and one-half mills aside for current expenses.

Following their action, board members pointed out that the reduction was made possible through improvement in tax collections, and the decrease in the relief load carried by the poor district during the past year. In the annual reorganization, President E. W. Forsht was reelected to his post, with Mrs. Cora D.

Shannon being named vice president. Howard M. Sell, of Hollidaysburg, was elected secreary and Attorney Samuel H. Jubelirer of th's city was named solicitor. Mr.

The Christmas season goes from one extreme to the other, and so does the Christmas tree is, everywhere except at Tonawanda, New York. THERE, the children were determined to give them "a more honorable end than the ash can." They carried their trees, bereft of lights and glittering ornaments, to a huge bonfire at the municipal playground. They held a great night pageant, closing the Christmas season. It was a merry plan, much different from the abrupt end that usually characterizes the Yule season. FIREMEN held the crowd back while 'members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce led the youngsters in singing Christmas carols in the dancing light of the merrily crackling Christmas trees.

SOME of the trees were not burned, although they met an end no less honorable. They were saved for distribution as shelters for game during the winter. THE RIDDLE OF THE AGES unsolved question has held the deepest fascination for man, from the dim reaches of time to the present? Undoubtedly, it is the "riddle of and of death. That subject always entrances mankind, and has for thousands of years and in every section of the world. Because of its mystery, its awe and its relation to everyone, it never grows tiresome.

though at times it grows fearsome. FROM Binghamton, N. comes the report of another man who was "brought back from the dead." Physicians said Charles Stenson, 34, was "brought back to life" after being declared dead of an heart ailment. "HE had no pulse and didn't breathe for a period of minutes," said Dr. Leonard J.

Flanagan. "We were sure he was dead." A new resusci-tator and inhalator were applied, and adrenalin and caffeine were injected. Five minutes later, a faint pulse was detected and the "dead man" began to breathe. WHAT his sensations were is not known, but there have-been other similar cases reported by physicians, and in' all the other cases on record, the answer has been the same, "Nothing." DEATH" to these people was like a brief period of unconsciousness. THERE have been many instances where imagination played an important part.

As in the case of Thomas Hillary who was hit by an auto in Chicago. When he recovered consciousness in the hospital, he gasped, "I was dead, and now I'm alive! I saw beautiful it was lovely beyond anything I ever dreamed It was heaven. I am sorry I have come back to life." BUT. were not dead," physicians assured him. "You have had a severe concussion, but your heart has remained fairly strong, and at no time did it stop, or even become alarmingly irregular.

You were unconscious several hours, and later you were delirious. You were dreaming, Mr, Hillary." PERHAPS if Lazarus or Lazarus II or III could talk, they could tell more about death than any man ever has learned. But Lazarus was a dog, and so were Lazarus II and III. They were made to live again after they had died through the experiment of a young west coast scientist. Their dead bodies were made to live and pulse and breathe, but they could not see and had no use of their canine minds.

They reacted only to physical stimuli and food. They were dead-alive and perhaps that would be the answer to any man who could be brought back from the dead. ONCE solve the mystery and the fear of death will vanish, said Dr. John Holtern. But, will it? A.

"The Art of Living Together" was the subject of Rabbi Fischoff who declared that one man should treat his neighbor with kindness and tolerance.

An attitude of tolerance and kindness will result in peace and progress, the proml-nentsocologist said. In closing Dr. Fischoff said that today there is arising a feeling of hatred, Intolerance and persecution against certain races and countries. Peace can be secured only, the speaker declared, when these races regard one another with kindness, tolerance and understanding. These things are the basis of the art of living together happily and peacefully, Dr.

Fischoff said. Buell Snyder Introduces Highway-Airport Bill WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Representative J. Buell Snyder, Fayette county, Democrat, introduced a bill today to provide a vast, criss-cross system of national express highways and airports.

He was a student of the Roosevelt Junior amount 18,897 feet already have been laid with 13,041 feet still to be laid. Most of the rights of way have been obtained for the sewer line and the engineer expressed the opinion that no difficulty would result from this angle of the project. About 500 men have been em ployed on the outfall project, but the work has only proceeded on about half-time under the federal setup so that progress is not as rapid as it would be were the job done by private contract. Weather has been fair during the entire period of the operations, but since the funds are allocated by the federal government on a piece-meal basis none of the- men employed on the projects gets more than about two weeks work in a month. When work gets under way on the lateral sewer system about 500 men will be employed on the job.

Members of council expressed the opinion yesterday that it would be wise to start the lateral system so that the work would follow right along at the completion of the outfall channel. Progress also was reported by Mr. Baum on a number of other projects in which the city and the federal government are co operating, including the paving in the upper Broadway area in Juniata. Completion of this paving will be dependent upon weather conditions, for, as the engineer explained, it will not be proper to lay concrete in the winter unless there might be a dependable stretch of unseasonably warm weather. Completion of the Glen White mine drainage sewer as far as th village of Glen White was reported by Mr.

Baum, with about 800 feet to be laid at that point and about 300 feet in the vicinity of the Eichenlaub mine. Rip-rap ping of Burgoon Run at Kittan- hing Point has been moving along nicely and when the Glen White project is completed the force of men employed there will be transferred to augment the force engaged in the rip-rapping work. In the highway department's flood repair operations progress also is being shown, including Aldrich avenue sewer and the Mill Run dredging. Additional dredging in the stream in Llyswen, in order to lower the bed of the stream and accelerate the speec of the water, was advocated by the engineer. A new city council was elected this Fall in the town of Ramsey, located on tee Isle of Man off the coast of England, on promises of the candidate, that they would modernize some of the town's ancient ordinances.
