BELLWOOD

  REWARD - $10 reward will be paid by the Logan Valley Cemetery association for 
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who 
mutilated shade trees on Sunday afternoon.
  Rev. J. F. Anderson, who has been quite ill pneumonia for three weeks, has so 
far recovered as to be able to be up and expects to get down stairs for a 
little while today. He is still quite weak, but recovering nicely, for which 
his congregation and friends are deeply thankful.
  Sergeant W. Robert Fuoss, who has been in gas defense work at Camp Dix, is 
home on a five-day furlough. He was shaking hands with Bellwood friends 
yesterday.  He is in work thoroughly congenial and his friends are 
congratulating him on his merited promotion.
  Edward Bentley, who left a week ago for Wissahickon Barracks, writes home of 
the comfortable quarters the troop have there and of the first class meals 
served, to make them fit for the strenuous life they have entered upon.
  The W. C. T. U. meets this evening at the home of Mrs. H. E. Rothenberger, 
South Tuckahoe street.
  The junior class of the borough high school was delightfully entertained on 
Friday evening at the home of Miss Dorothy Irwin. Music and games were enjoyed, 
after which delicious refreshments were served.  Those present were Misses 
Thelma Pelter, Charlotte Goshorn, Neshie Dunn, Sarah Keyes, Emma Miller, 
Bernice Barrett, Anna Turnbaugh and Dorothy Irwin; Messrs. Harold Baker, James 
Veign, Calvin Hunter, Elmer Lauver and Willard Irwin.
  Edgar Myers, of Johnstown, spent the week-end at the home of his parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. Lewis Myers, of Main street;
  Howard Guistwhite is at home from Camp Meade on a five-day furlough, visiting 
at the home of his mother, Mrs. A. C. Guistwhite.
  Mr. and Mrs. Frank Garland have received a letter from their son Edward, 
"Somewhere in France," telling of the safe arrival of his contingent. As the 
other Bellwood boys sailed only a few days after young Garland, letters are 
confidently expected this week.
  "All on Account of Polly," which made such a hit at its recent appearance, is 
to be repeated at the Odd Fellows' hall on Thursday evening.
  Rev. H. R. Shipe was formally installed as pastor of the Lutheran church on 
Sunday, Rev. M. J. Ross, of Sinking Valley, preaching two fine sermons and 
conducting the installation service. Special music was rendered by the choir.
  The mutilation of shade trees at the cemetery on Sunday is but a climax to 
acts of vandalism that have been reported from time to time. Flowers have been 
taken from graves and the cemetery association is very much determined to put 
an end to the trouble. The cemetery never looked better than now and the 
deliberate peeling and backing of beautiful trees is an unpardonable marring of 
its beauty.
