March's plan to show their appreciation by offerings for the next thirty days one of the largest stocks of men's and boys' clothing and furnishings at anniversa ry prices. Throughout their history March's have been known for handling only the finest quality of merchandise. The history of March's is Indelibly recorded with that of central Pennsylvania. Migrating from Chenstohowe, Poland in the early 1860's, young Samuel March landed in America and went to work for his brothers, Joseph and William March, of Huntingdon, then proprietors of that county's largest store. The late Governor Martin P.

Brumbaugh and Jacob Brumbaugh of Juniata college helped tutor the young boy in the English language. He went t0 Marklesburg in 1869 to open a small store of his own but soon returned to Huntingdon to enter business with his brotheis, Mr. March withdrew Trom the firm to go t0 Glen Hope, Clearfield county, during the lumber boom but' again returned to Huntingdon after eight months to remain in the clothing business until 1879 when he sold out to Haz-lett Brothers. He was married in 1872 to Harriet Wolf, sister of the late Godfrey Wolf and three children were born to the union, Ellis, Martin and Leon March. Mr.

March came to Altoona in 1879 and purchased the bankrupt Charles Simons Clothing company, located on the present site of the Westfall company. Mr. March disposed of this store and went to Freeport, 111., but remained only a short time before returning to Altoona in 1880 and opening the Golden Eagle Clothing store at Eleventh avenue and Thirteenth street. In 1888 he moved to 1014 Twelfth street, location of the former Mountain City Trust building, and two years later established his store at 1226 Eleventh avenue. Mr.

March turned the business over to his three sons in 1902. Leon March died in 1926 and Ellis and March have, conducted it since. The founder erected a new building at 1224-26 Eleventh avenue in 1908. The present building was remodeled in 1939 when a new front was installed. Samuel March died in July, 1933, but the business continues under the name of S.

March's Sons. Lester March, a son of Ellis March, was admitted into the partnership in 1941 and is now serving in the armed forces. Down through the years March's store has served such notables as the late Charles Schwab, Har-old Ickes, secretary of the interior; Judge John J.

Lingenfelter son of Mis. Florence Lingenfelter With the AEF In Italy Spring At By KENNEH L. DIXON WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, April 21 (Delayed) When I left this tired outfit last January at the front almost every wakeful ehought was given over to wondering when they would be relieved. They'd been in the line a long time. And now that they've been out a while and received some rest and replacements, they're' wondering when they're going back in, and where.

It isn't that they want to return, but rather that they know they must and that this inaction is a temporary thing. So they're tense. Then, too, there's the "restlessness of spring. For spring hangs rich and green over the mountain slopes and valleys of Avellino. The oxen and donkeys move slowly, pulling plows and carts across soil where war scars have already been healed by grass and flowers.

Lying in the sun high on the hillside, the soldiers look down on a valley floor carpeted with grain fields and truck and flower gardens set off by brightly blossoming orchards. But they can't lie still long. For one thing, they're constantly training both to improve their own fighting skill and to break in the new replacements. Even when they could rest they keep alert, looking for some hint of their next move. "Hello, bad news," they greet you if you're a newspaper man "What are you doing here? We this was too good to last.

Where are we going Even when you convince them that you know exactly nothing about their future movements, they remain on edge. They flop on the luxurious grass and yawn and talk about spring, and then they hop up again and start talking about rumors and whose fault it was that they lost so many men at such and such a hill or river crossing, and how green the replacements are. If there's a little silence the churchbells of Avellino break it with their soft reminding chimes every 15 minutes. And somebody says, "Those damn bells keep ringing all the time." Somehow when the last clear chimes die away across the valley there are scores of churches scattered over the mountains the talk always turns to grimmer things. They mention men who fell in certain actions.

They talk about the time the command post was shelled and several men were killed and wounded in their sleep. They lie there, each thinking of his own thoughts. The gentle stillness of the spring evening suddenly is split by the shrill squawl of a tomcat Everybody laughs. ''It's spring, allright," someone says, "boy, that really makes me homesick." The others laugh again and talk of home. And someone says that next to being home, this is about the best setup they've ever had, while it lasts.

And then the bells of Avellino tell the sprawled soldiers that 15 minutes more of peace for them has passed.

Graham, has directed her since the begin-ning of her operatic career four years ago.

The company' to which Miss Lombardo belongs plays at the "Provincetown Playhouse" in Prov-incetown, and has a repertoire of twelve Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and many others. They have also presented many legitimate dramas, one of which will be presented at the Playhouse on May 15. The Provincetown Playhouse expects to present more Gilbert and Sullivan in June.

Mr. Feyti's parents were both in opera and he had the opportunity of studying under such great operatic stars as Amelita Galli-Curci.

Miss Lombardo says that she prefers to play the role of Elsie in "Yeoman of the Guard" and Mabel in "Pirates of Penzance" to any other Gilbert and Sulrfvan operettas.

The Altoona artist sings her operatic roles in French, German, Italian, Latin, and English. She would rather sing Italian than any of the others, During the intermission of the presentations today several arias from grand opems will be sung by members of the company. When asked how it felt to return to her home-town, Miss Lombardo smiled and said, "I am happy to be here, and I hope every one is glad to see as I am to sing for them." Pauline of Huntingdon, R.
