REUNION Of PUPILS
OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Prof. J. H. Brumbaugh, Uncle of
Governor, at Millersburg
Commencement
Special TO The Telegraph

Millersburg, Pa. June 8. - Com
mencement week at the Millersburg
high school closed last evening with
the graduation of the largest class in
its history.
The week began on Sunday evening
with the baccalaureate sermon by the
Rev. Earl j. Bowman, '06, of Philips
burg, Pa. On Thursday evening the
class day exercises were held in the
new high school auditorium.
The most remarkable event of the
week and one which has possibly never
been duplicated in Pennsylvania was
reunion on Friday afternoon of the
pupils of Professor J. H. Brumbaugh,
uncle of Governor M. G.. Brumbaugh,
who was principal of the high school
at its installation forty years before.
From all over PENNSYLVANIA and from
as far as Oregon, almost fifty of the
hundred pupils of 1875 were assembled
to greet and do honor to their hrSt
principal. who has held a warm place
in their hearts and in the esteem of
the community ever since.
A large audience of husbands. wives
and friends of the pupils of that day
came with them to enjoy the unusual
occasion. Isaac y. Johns, of Oregon,
was chosen chairman and Charles A.
Miller, of Mllersburg, secretary. The
secretary called the roll from the rec
ords of 1915 and gave the addresses
of those living who could not be pres
ent. Many of these sent letters of
regret and greeting, which were read.
Professor j. f. Adams, principal of the
present high school, extended greet
ings to his predecessor and pupils of
so many years before. Professor j. H.
Brumbaugh responded most feelingly
and told of his experiences in Millers-
burg and in the forty years inter-
veninR.
Isaac \. Johns gave pleasing ad-
dress filled with anecdotes of their for
mer school days and with tributes of
honor and respect to their teacher
William II. Etweiler. of Philadelphia;
Harry F. Bowman, of Harrisburg;
George l.. Seal, of Altoona; Clinton T.
Shoop, of Lykens; j. b. Seal, S. S.
Bowman. j. \. Frank and others, of
Millersburg, added "reminiscences of
| happy school days. Governor NJ. G..
Brum baugh, who had hoped until the
day before to be present, sent a letter
saying that the great number of bills
awaiting his action made 1t impos-
sible for him to come. He sent kindly
greetings to the boys and girls and
paid high tribute to the influence of
his uncle on his life.
The fact that nearly half of a school
could be assembled from all over the
United States to greet its former
teacher after the lapse of forty years
makes this one of the most remark

Automobilist Rescues
Small Boy From River

Merle Young. aged II years, resid-
ing in Penn street, had a narrow es-
cape from drowning yesterday. He
was bathing in the river at Front and
Division strAts and got beyond his
depth. c. O. Adams, of Riverside,
who was nearby in his automobile,
went to the rescue.
The lad was sinking for the last
time when Mr. Adams caught the
boys clothing. The rescuer had con-
siderable trouble because Of the swift
current, and Edward Wenrich, a gro
ceryman of Riverside, helped Mr..
Adams and the boy from the water.

The NelU City Outing
Summer Camps
SchOOLbOYs.

The club hires a field near by
where there Is little house for the
boys to dress in and an opportunity
for outdoor athletics and games in
good weather all Winter long.
A gymnasium and swimming pool
are used In bad weather, where, by
special arrangement, the club meets
three times q week after school.
There the boys play indoor baseball,
basketball and are taught athletic
work and how to swim and dive.
Occasionally an athletic meet is held
and prizes awarded. The water In
the swimming pool Is kept about
scyenty-two degrees, the room Is
warm, and everything kept clean.
With proper care as to rubbing down
after the swim it is all right for boys
TO visit swimming pool all Winter
Experience has shown that 1t does
them lots of good from the stand
point of general health and posture.
All this takes care Of the boy dur
ing the school year. After the
schools close in June, the Summer
camp welcomes the boy. All through
and West these boys camps have
needs OF the boys during the Sum
mer vacation.
Most Of these camps are situated
inland, bordering on lakes or In the
woods. a few are located at the
seashore, but they do not seem to
afford as many opportunities for all
around camp enjoyment as the in
land lake resorts. The water at the
seashore is usually too cold for much
swimming. and 1t Is too rough most
OF the time for boating and water
sports. The shore Of placid lake
seems to be best suited for the needs
OF the boy camper.
The average vacation camp Is in
operation for period OF about ten
weeks each Summer. The work is
systematized SO that the boys are at
all times under the careful super
vision Of instructors, who teach them
all the sports and pastimes incident
tn outdoor life as we'll US guarding
them against danger.
These vacation camps have great
possibilities for accelerating the nor.

Four million bread tickets were Is
sued to the people Of Berlin and the
surrounding suburbs during the first
week the new regulations were put
in force. One Of these tickets is re-
produced on this page. 1t shows that
each person must receive only two
Kilograms, about four and half
pounds, Of bread each week, and
records how much Of his allowance
he has drawn.
The mixing OF the bread is
strictly regulated by the government
in order that the cereals may be
economical. AS wheat is the grain
of which the supply Is least, it's use
is very carefully restricted. On the
other hand. as Germany has q large
supply of potatoes, their use is en-.
couraged. Bread must not contain
more than one-fourth wheat and not
less than one-fourth potato flour. The
balance may be rye or certain other
substances. A government inspector
watches the bakery to see that the
lawful proportion of ingredients is
used.
Even children nave been requested
to eat less bread in order to help
the army win. BY order Of the gov.
ernment newspapers and school
teachers have circulated an extraor-
binary appeal to the children to cut
their daily consumption OF bread in
half. These appeals are probably
intended for children living outside
the area of war bread distribution.

Perhaps before these lines appear
the government will have seized all
the meat in the country. 1t has
already assumed the power to take
all 1t requires for government pur-
poses. The city OF Berlin has pur-
chased 100000 worth Of meat;
Dresden has purchased $4,000, MI
remberg $250,000, Auzurg 100000.
Allenstein. $4,000.
According to one report German
agents have been buying up all the
fat dogs obtainable in Denmark and
Holland, neutral countries with
which Germany carries on re-
stricted trade. The idea, naturally,
suggests itself to the mind that these
animals are destined to become
war sausageS."
Where the sale and preparation OF
articles of food have been regulated
by law. the prices that the producer
may charge have also been fixed.
This has had the effect OF greatly
raising the price Of meat and other
articles which have not been regu-
lated.
The government has ordered
farmers to kill their pigs because
these animals eat up the cereals OF
which there Is the greatest shortage.
This order has been carried out to
some extent. Stocks of ham and
bacon, into which the pigs are con-
verified have been eagerly bought UP
by traders and consumers because
these articles are 80 useful for keep
ing. and their prices are soaring.
Pigs have now risen to double
their value before the war. And even
at that 1t Is almost impossible to OBJ.
tain them. Ham and bacon are I'M.
obtainable In many parts OF the EN-.
pire. A dish Of ham and eggs Is be.
coming rarity only seen on the
table Of the millionaire.
The high prices paid for these
articles Is naturally causing deep dis.
content among growers who have to
accept prices fixed by law for their
products.
