Seeing Eye dogs, the speaker said, are trained for work because of their intelligence, and the training is so intensive that the dogs are seldom attracted by anything which takes their attention from the task of guiding their masters. The entire Seeing Eye project is based upon instilling in a blind person faith in his particular A and, likewise, a dog's faith in hV master, Mr. Adams asserted. He said the dogs will always find a way of reaching a destination, even though it requires leading their masters around numerous obstacles, such as parked automobiles, poles, trees and other stationary objects.

The Property and Supplies secretary, however, turned up in James' office with Stuart for what was understood to be a conference about the authority job. me governor noi i-uuuueuii on possibility of appointing Stuart as authority director but said any outstanding engineer might be regarded" for the directorship. Meanwhile, the authority's meeting' scheduled for today was postponed until next Wednesday pending "full particulars" from PWA officials in Washington clarifying charges that McCloskey Company, Philadelphia contracting firm, received illegal pre-bidding information that enabled it to win the Ncrristown State Hospital contract.

By the time the present part of the hospital is remodeled, funds will be available for new equipment to cover all the hospital needs."

Working Time at the Collieries The following collieries are scheduled to work tomorrow: CAMERON COLONIAL PENNSYLVANIA (Mine Only) RICHARDS (Shaft Section and Water Level Tnnnel) HICKORY SWAMP SLOPE ALASKA RELIANCE LOCUST GAP POTTS LOCUST SUMMIT (Full Weak-One Shift) MAPLE HILL ST. NICHOLAS (Full Breaker, er. One Shift.) MAHANOY CITY SUFFOLK KNICKERBOCKER ENTERPRISE STRIPPINGS TUNNEL EXTENSION STRIPPING A movement to save Anthracite from internal disintegration has been launched by a group of Schuylkill County professional, business and industrial men. The nucleus of a permanent organization has been formed and future meetings are planned with a much enlarged representation from the lower Anthracite field.

A meeting was called by David L. Watson, cashier of the Union National Bank of Shenandoah, who was later named as chairman of the group of the yet-to-be-named organization. Mr. Watson cited the evidences of discord within the management division of the Industry as indicated by price-cutting, charges that large operators were trying to squeeze out smaller competitors, rate chiseling, and other sharp business practices which if allowed to continue unchecked might very reasonably hasten to complete collapse of an already harassed industry. The problems caused by operators in the industry failing to live and let live with each other to the detriment of the entire industry, including the workers, was the chief topic considered by the group.

No definite action was taken yesterday, no resolutions passed and no plan of procedure was outlined until the original group of 15 can be expanded in the near future by the inclusion of additional men from a larger area. The group plans to augment Its membership sufficiently to command the respect of operators, and to warrant recognition in both Harrisburg and Washington in the event future plans warrant appeals to these authorities. The group adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman, after electing Karl A. Hoffman as secretary. AWARD PRESENTED TO A.

SPENDS HUGE SUM FOR RELIEF HARRISBURG, July 26 (U.R Pennsylvania expended $243,422,000 for all forms of relief during the last biennium, ending May 31, Public Assistance Secretary Howard L. Russell reported today. The state's share of the cost was $210,107,000, or approximately 86 per cent of the total. Federal funds representing contributions for old-age assistance, aid to dependent children and blind pensions (the latter to December 31, 1937) totaled $31,014,000, or about 13 per cent. County contributions, made in 1937 only prior to the effective date of the Goodrich consclidated public assistance laws, amounted to or one per cent of the total outlay.

Those county payments represented one-third of the cost of aid to dependent children and widows prior to January 1, 1938, when County Assistance Boards became operative. HEAVY RAINS FELL DURING LAST JULY With this section suffering from a dry spell, records consulted today showed that a year ago there was too much rain. Drenching rains pelted the region from July 16 to 23 and wheat sprouted in the shocks, water seeped into corn and potato rows and ruined ihe yield while springs started to run that usually were only active in the spring thaw season. This year fields are dusty, there is considerable hauling of water, many springs are dry and wells are low. Just a year ago creeks were overflowing, road shoulders were washed out and harvesting work was drowned out.

MACHINES DAMAGED IN SUNBURY CRASH Two machines were damaged yesterday afternoon in a on River Avenue, at Sunbury, when a car operated by Edward Delbaugh, Sunbury, and a truck owned by-David Manley, Shamokin, R. D. No. 2, collided. The accident was Investigated by Sunbury police, but the officers did not place responsibility for the crash.

No one was injured in the accident Boy Scouts of Overlook and Troop 51 of Shamokin, are "having the time of their lives" at Camp Nik-O-Mahs, along Penn's Creek near Glen Iron, where -J -W for a 10-day period, according to vusuors at, me camp eany tnis week. The boys, headed by B. Frank Startzel, scoutmaster of Troop 51, and John R. Steele, scoutmaster of the Overlook troop, are living by a daily program that includes many activities. Because of Inactivity over a three-year period, the camp was in a rundown condition when the two troops arrived there, but within a few days a transformation took place as tha Boy Scouts repaired cabins, raked leaves, dead wood and brush and made many other improvements.

William Fidler, a former Shamokin Eagle Scout, is serving as cook for the Scouts, and is assisted by Scouts Buckley, Yonkovig, Kroh and Troxell. The meals are well-balanced to ensure health and eliminate the danger of stomach cramps during the swimming period. Monday of this week the boys hiked to the Susquehanna Area Council Camp, where 36 campfire girls are staying. Those in charge of the camp showed the boys through the grounds. That evening, the campfire girls paid a return visit to the local Scouts, and were entertained by a varied program and campfire.

Rev. Norman Dunsmore, pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Sha1 mokln, spent several days at Nik-O-Mahs, and was a speaker on the program. He spoke on hew Scout ideals could be seen in nature. Hymns and campfire songs were sung, followed by selections by a "Little German Band." Members of this organization were Fred Kem, Robert Troxell, Dan Yonkovig, Ollie Kroh, William Buckley and Fred Kern. "Morning watch" services were conducted yesterday morning with Rev.

Dunsmore and Rev. William Vastine, also of Shamokin, In charge. Later in the day William Fidler gave instructions in cooking, William Lawler in second class tests and Kenneth Morse in safety first and compass. Returning from Camp Nik-O- Mahs this morning, Rev. Dunsmore said Shamokin has a scouting his tory of which it may well be proud.

The pastor said it was a shame that a community, which raised $14,000 for one week of Jubilee activity, which accomplished no lasting good, declares it cannot afford several thousand dollars a year to support scouting and to save its 17-acre summer camp. In the opinion of the pastor, it Is cheaper to pay for scouting, than for reform schools and jails to accommodate youths who fall into crime because cf not having the advantages of Boy Scout training. Rev. Dunsmore has pledged his support to help revive scouting in Shamokin in the fall. He said that William Anderson, chairman of the local council, would be glad to hear from anyone interested in assisting in the recovery movement.

A. previously had made some attempt to avoid loss of life, but that in its new terror campaign, it intended to be ruthless.

Hoare's statement, including a declaration that foreign (presumably German) organizations were supporting the terrorists, was in connection with speedy passage of a bill giving police greater powers to curb the terrorists.
