Collins Buried in Lewistown Grave Burgess Dietz Will Urge Council to Employ a Patrolman Lemoyne, Pa., Nov. 17. ?Declar- ing this borough Is open to unli- \u25a0 censed salesmen and that rowdyism 1 Is reigning supreme because of the : lack of police protection. Burgess I Dr. Walter L<. Dietz to-day said he will go before the new council to urge the employment of an officer to patrol the borough. , The burgess said many complaints \u25a0 had been made during the past year ; from residents who said they havo been "short measured" by hucksters and salesmen and that their win- dows were broken by children throwing stones. There were re- ports of other misconduct. S Burgess Dietz said: "The chil- dren of tho borough carry on this * rowdyism continually without being molested. I have been having many complaints from residents who say ' that children coming home from school throw stones at each other and sometimes residents complain of window panes broken by children. Furthermore, motorists take advan- tage of the lax laws here and use ' the main thoroughfares as a speed- j way, caring little whether they * drive on the right or left side of i the street. Complaints come to me occasonally about boys using the pavements for bicycles, endangering \u25a0 pedestrians. The air rifle is causing ' quiet a little trouble also. Many housewives are compaining about f being short measured from wagons 1 on the street, many of these sales- men are going about town without licenses, but I am helpless to put an end to it because I have no one to look up these conditions. "X went before council when as- suming my duties as burgess, but they said that with these conditions growing worse daily the demand is greater and should be met in some way by the council. I feel that if a policeman would be employed to patrol the streets of the borough between the hours of 4 and 11 p. m. we could assure residents proper pro- tection. Some businesi men are backing me in a mere for protec- tion and I am going to urge council to provide it." Enola Justice Gives Party For His Wife Enola, Pa., Nov. 17.?Justice of the Peace George H.

Afembers of the committee ap- i pealed to James F. Woodward, secretary of internal affairs, and J. Herman Knisely, chief of the Bu- reau of Alunicipalities, for assistance in making plans for the memorial and Karl B. Lohmann, landscape designer in the bureau, was assigned to the task. Air. Lohmann went to AlcCon- nellsburg, met the committee and visited the section in which devel- opment was planned. Mr. Lohmann, following a study of the area, de- vised the idea of an open air Me- morial Forum and when he returned to McConnellsburg a few days ago with the idea worked out in draw- ings, the committee lost no tinro In giving its approval and committee- men asserted that they will see to it that the actual work is pushed along so that the forum can be dedi- cated on Alemorial Day next year. The plot of ground adjoining the court house has a natural slope and will make an ideal place for union church services, concerts, lectures and entertainments of varied char- acter during the summer months. At the bottom of the slope it is pro- posed to erect a platform walled up with native stone. The space be- tween tho walls would be filled with earth and sown with grass seed. Bits of shrubbery around the back of the platform and on the sides would furnish natural scenery. Shrubbery on either side of the platform would also be planted in such way as to form places where speakers could remain until ready to go on the plat- form. The edges of the entire plot of ground would also be covered with shrubbery and trees and at other points would be placed in or- der low bushes or shrubs. The en- trance to the forum would be at the corner closest the front of the court house and at that point Air. Loh- mann proposes a huge boulder taken from the mountains of Fulton county be placed. On It would be a tablet stating that the Alemorial Forum is an evidence of the esteem with which the people of McCon- nellsburg and the county hold the soldiers of Fulton county and ex- plaining that the forum is a gift of the people to the world war heroes, and heroes of the Civil War are also to be remembered In the construc- tion of the memorial. While the memorial idea was planned with the Idea of honoring world war heroes, it was proposed that honor be also paid other war men and accordingly the forum will be dedicated to the soldiers of all wars from the Civil War to the present time. The square in AlcConnellsburg on which the court house fronts will also be improved in accordance with plans drawn by Mr. Lohmann. It is proposed that a grass plot on which w, ' l . b< ' Planted a few trees be laid out in the form of a square and that plot W ° around the grass Members of the committee at McConnellsburg suggested, too, that the names of all soldiers in the county be Inscribed on bronze plates house fr °nt ° f the court The Memorial Forum and the de- velopment in the square win be paid for largely by public subscriptions and already the committee has re- ceived contributions from persons Interested. It is proposed to solicit the ent re county so that every per- v°" Ü be given an opportunity of county" soldiers of Sulton Members of the committee ar- ranging the memorial are the Rev. William J.

Ashes of Samuel B. CollinsBuried in Lewistown Grave

Burgess Dietz Will UrgeCouncil to Employ a

Patrolman

Lemoyne, Pa., Nov. 17.?Declar-ing this borough Is open to unli-

\u25a0 censed salesmen and that rowdyism

1 Is reigning supreme because of the

: lack of police protection. BurgessI Dr. Walter L<. Dietz to-day said he

will go before the new council tourge the employment of an officerto patrol the borough.

, The burgess said many complaints\u25a0 had been made during the past year; from residents who said they havo

been "short measured" by huckstersand salesmen and that their win-dows were broken by childrenthrowing stones. There were re-ports of other misconduct.

S Burgess Dietz said: "The chil-dren of tho borough carry on this

* rowdyism continually without beingmolested. I have been having manycomplaints from residents who say

' that children coming home fromschool throw stones at each otherand sometimes residents complain ofwindow panes broken by children.Furthermore, motorists take advan-tage of the lax laws here and use

' the main thoroughfares as a speed-j way, caring little whether they

* drive on the right or left side ofi the street. Complaints come to me

occasonally about boys using thepavements for bicycles, endangering

\u25a0 pedestrians. The air rifle is causing' quiet a little trouble also. Many

housewives are compaining aboutf being short measured from wagons1 on the street, many of these sales-

men are going about town withoutlicenses, but I am helpless to putan end to it because I have no oneto look up these conditions.

"X went before council when as-suming my duties as burgess, butthey said that with these conditionsgrowing worse daily the demand isgreater and should be met in someway by the council. I feel that ifa policeman would be employed topatrol the streets of the boroughbetween the hours of 4 and 11 p. m.we could assure residents proper pro-tection. Some businesi men arebacking me in a mere for protec-

tion and I am going to urge councilto provide it."

Memorial to Its Menin Service

Residents of McConnellsburg andFulton county generally are plan-

ning a lasting memorial to hojior

the boys who went forwnrd to fight

for freedom., An open air Memorial Forum.

! uniquo In Pennsylvania munictpall-j ties, will be laid out on the plot of

Jground adjoining the Fulton county

court house in McConnellsburg, Inaccordance with the preliminaryplans drawn by the Bureau of Mu-nicipalities of the Pennsylvania De-'partment of Internal Affairs and ap-proved by tho committee in charge

lof the selection of a memorial.Afembers of the committee ap-

i pealed to James F. Woodward,secretary of internal affairs, and J.Herman Knisely, chief of the Bu-reau of Alunicipalities, for assistancein making plans for the memorialand Karl B. Lohmann, landscapedesigner in the bureau, was assignedto the task.

Air. Lohmann went to AlcCon-nellsburg, met the committee andvisited the section in which devel-opment was planned. Mr. Lohmann,following a study of the area, de-vised the idea of an open air Me-morial Forum and when he returnedto McConnellsburg a few days agowith the idea worked out in draw-ings, the committee lost no tinro Ingiving its approval and committee-men asserted that they will see toit that the actual work is pushedalong so that the forum can be dedi-cated on Alemorial Day next year.

The plot of ground adjoining thecourt house has a natural slope andwill make an ideal place for unionchurch services, concerts, lecturesand entertainments of varied char-acter during the summer months.At the bottom of the slope it is pro-posed to erect a platform walled upwith native stone. The space be-tween tho walls would be filled withearth and sown with grass seed. Bitsof shrubbery around the back ofthe platform and on the sides wouldfurnish natural scenery. Shrubberyon either side of the platform wouldalso be planted in such way as toform places where speakers couldremain until ready to go on the plat-form. The edges of the entire plotof ground would also be coveredwith shrubbery and trees and atother points would be placed in or-der low bushes or shrubs. The en-trance to the forum would be at thecorner closest the front of the courthouse and at that point Air. Loh-mann proposes a huge bouldertaken from the mountains of Fultoncounty be placed. On It would be atablet stating that the AlemorialForum is an evidence of the esteemwith which the people of McCon-nellsburg and the county hold thesoldiers of Fulton county and ex-plaining that the forum is a gift ofthe people to the world war heroes,and heroes of the Civil War are alsoto be remembered In the construc-tion of the memorial. While thememorial idea was planned with theIdea of honoring world war heroes,it was proposed that honor be alsopaid other war men and accordinglythe forum will be dedicated to thesoldiers of all wars from the CivilWar to the present time.

The square in AlcConnellsburg onwhich the court house fronts willalso be improved in accordance withplans drawn by Mr. Lohmann. It isproposed that a grass plot on whichw, ' l . b< ' Planted a few trees be laidout in the form of a square and thatplot
