PLAN APPROVED
Principals of Schools in West
Shore Towns Bring Matter
Before Their Pupils

The plan of saving grain on Hal
lowe'en to be ground for the poor
has been approved by all school chill
dren of the West Shore. The propo-
sition was put before school children
of the several schools yesterday.
while principals of other schools will
bring the matter up on Monday.
Every child who attended school
the past several days heard the ap-
peal of teachers asking them to re-
frain from throwing corn and veg
etables away on Halloween and
from destroying property in their
celebration of the event.
The plan of bringing the amount
of grain to school that the children
would throw away in their celebra-
ed several days ago, has not yet
gained wide circulation. This propo-
sition was not put before all the
schools yesterday.
Boy Scouts are enthusiastic over
the move of guarding the towns from
property damage. The move is be-
coming popular in Lemoyne. New
Cumberland and Camp Hill, where
the boys are we'll organized. Resi-
dents of the various boroughs were
of the opinion that this would be
influential in keeping the children
under control in their celebration.
Residents OF the various towns to-
day were favorable to the move of
saving grain and believe that many
bushels will be collected. c. S. Will
lis, of Lemoyne, has consented to
grind the grain into meal at his mill
along the Yellow Breeches creek
near Eberly's Mills.

TWO CHILDREN
HURT BY AUTO
Driver and Companion Desert
Machine After Accident
Near Greencastle

waynesboro. oct. 20.-Two chill
dren of Mrs. ]. C. Hollingshead. who
lives on farm west of Greencastle.
only short distance from the town,
were Knocked down and injured in
an automobile accident yesterday.
The boy and girl were returning
from Greencastle with some groceries
for the home and were walking
along the side of the road when an
automobile driven by two young
men veered from the main road and
ran over them. The car knocked
down the railing along an embank-
ment nearby and landed in the ditch.
The children were left unconscious
in the road. The driver and his COM
panion took to their heels and ran
pul over lllS line HlllSt N'NNS
were soon lost to view.
The Rev. J. w. Brewbaker went to
the assistance of the Nchildren and
physicians were summoned. 1t was
found that the girl. Hazel, who is
eight years old, was injured about
the head. and the boy, Henry, aged
6, received injuries of the chest.
Policeman Baumgardner and a
member of the State Police force
went into the mountains to search
for the men who ran over the chill
dren but, on account of the thlcK
growth of bushes. the men easily
made their escape. The automobile
they abandoned was a Ford with a
West Virginia license, and in 1t were
found two quart bottles of whisky
and an old Colt revolver.
1t is thought that the men might
be robbers. as when they took break
fast at a hotel in Greencastle they
gave the clerk a $50 bill to take out
the price of their meals. They
seemed TO have plenty of money.
