People of West Harrisburg ara
mighty anxious to see the garbage
disposal plant above Maclay street
near Paxton creek removed from
tnat pace. When the plant was
erected 1t was with the promise that
II would be odorless. Instead it has
been an annoyance to the whole West
End when the wind is from the di-
rection of the plant toward town.
The West Enders say it was a mis-
take ever to have placed the plant
where 1t is, at the entrance to Wild
wood park and right along the park
way. Every effort has been made
by the park department to have the
district cleaned up but the surround
ings of the incinerator are anything
but attractive, as viewed from the
parkway. and the stencil ut times
is frightful. The West End wants
this plant removed or really rendered
odorless. when the new contract is
let.

The visit of the Lutheran minis
ters to the Loysville Orphan Home
on Tuesday recalls the tact that
many well-known Harrisburg penule
are graduates of that noted instiLu-
tion, which holds n high place in the
regard of men and women of all de-
nominations who know of the excel
lence of its work. II never saw 4
brighter, healthier lot of boys in my
life. said one visitor. Their faces
glowed, their eyes sparkled and they
sang like angels" That is not over
drawing it a particle. The Loysville
orphan school pupils are made to
feel pride in their school and III
themselves. They do not look upon
themselves as objects of charity.
They are pupils at the school and the
management is so kindly, yet so et-
ticient. that it at all times has both
the love and perfect obedience of
the lads whose youthful destinies If
controls. Say 'Loysville" in Central
Pa, and you will call UP a vision
of nominees, good-fellowship and
ideal school life such as few inst,-
tutions can boast.

Sullivan county is to the front
again. Executive Clerk James c.
Deininger comes from that county of
shingles, lath, deer, purling brooks
mountain lakes and fine fishing and
vouches for this story:
"AIy brother is connected with
one of the railroads in Sullivan coun-
ty and says that deer are very
abundant They are so abundant that
they are becoming n nuisance. The
fremen say they have to stop the
trains some mornings to 'shoo' the
deer off the tracks"
