IN Local Baptist Church Hears Word from Foreign Missions According to advices' received by the local Baptist church from Shang hai. China, the Chinese Christians do not desire the missionaries to withdraw. There is no serious dis turbance at the Shanghai Baptist college, it is stated and the visiting missionaries are very hopeful.

The executive committee of the Chekiang Baptist association (Chi nese.) held very successful meetings at Ningpo recently and the relations were the very best between' the Chinese Christians and the mission aries. The message further states that while awaiting further develop ments, it is contemplated transferring a few missionaries to Japan and the return to America of families from West China, whose furloughs are due within the nxt two years. Otherwise missionaries deem it wise to remain for the present in order to maintain contact and to be prepared for return to then- stations at the first opportunity. The general opinion seems to be that they should remain as near as possible and prepare for their return when the opportunity offers. It is considered safe to remain in Shanghai for the present, and it is not believed that mission in that country is ended.

While the situation gives great cause for concern for the mis sion work and while the present dis' turbance is extending and is exceedingly serious, yet eventually it may give opportunity lor desiraoie recon struction of the work, with larger Chinese direction. Chinese are at present' conducting work all stations in East China, except the schools at Kinhwa. Soldiers have occupied a few chapels, but the churohes continue holding services.

GOVERNOR FISHER FAVORS AVIATION The Harrisburtr Evening News recently said graphically: "With spores of airplanes droning overhead and a large group of pilots standing behind him Governo John S. Fisher next Tuesday will sign a legislative bill making Penn sylvania a pioneer in aircraft regu lation. "A carnival of the air, elaborate in that all types of planes, military and commercial, from all parts of the State, will be one of the fea tures of the signing of the measure which licenses civil aircraft oper ators.

"Practically every flying field in Pennsylvania will be represented at the ceremony, it was said. "After an elaborate program of stunt flying by pursuit planes of the U. S. Army, National Guard and Reserve Corps many of the pilots will land and return to the Capitol to see Governor Fisher affix his signature to the bill. "Under the terms of the bill which will become a law when signed by Fisher, all civilian pilots, municipal and private landing fields must obtain licenses from tha Department of Internal Affairs.

"Examinations as to flying ability and equipment must be taken by each applicant before the pilot is given permission to fly over the 'lands or waters of this "A commission on aeronautics is created within the Department of Internal Affairs in the new administrative code. "Pennsylvania is the second state in the Union to have a law regulating flying and fliers. Connecticut passed the first measure of, the kind. "In a statement regarding aviation Governor Fisher said: "'Aeronautics has become a very important matter, and it now ranks with the telephone, telegraph and other outstanding achievements of the "Governor Fisher also called attention to the fact that it is now possible to fly from one side of the State to the other in three hours." It is indeed gratifying to feel that Pennsylvania's governor will back up aviation to the limit. It will not be long before commercial aviation will be here to stay, and airplane pass-riders will be tripping it down to Harrisburg and back just as they do today on such famil iar trains as Numbers 34, 26 and old No.

The Little Scorpions' Club New Method Would Raise Borrowing Powenof Borough Juniata ward assessors are said to contemplate a radical readjustment of valuations for taxation purposes this year, with ive out ot uw i leaning toward the doctrine of a higher valuation and a reduced mill-age.

The echeme, it is pointed out, has the decided advantage of increasing the borrowing capacity to a degree permitting bonds to be. floated to erect a new school building and it is believed will be made unanimous. As matters stand now, borough homes and business places are marked for taxation at from 20 to 40 per cent of their actual selling prices, it is said. The school board can issue bonds to the extent of seven per ceni of the total assessed valuation and the bonds already outstanding leave the district a margin oi arum 000 with which to create needed school space that will cost more than twice that figure. tha VAluntiOnH On a 13 XU ner cent basis, it is explained, will tha hnrrowimr capacity ana solve the problem of finance tor the new school building, as to me upon the taxpayers, the change will not affect the amount of money needed for school and borough purposes and It Is a mere matter of figures to reduce the 'high millage for which the town has become famous and to collect from each property owner, as now, just what is necessary to defray the expenses.

Just what steps may be taken Is not declared but it is said that several assessors have in mind a proposition to act as a board and to sweep the entire borough with valuations in equable proportion. The Idea of higher assessments was three years ago suggested by the county commissioners but at that time full cooperation of the assessors in the six wnrds of Juniata could not be secured. 500 Party.
