USED LANTERN
TO ILLUSTRATE
Minister Brings Out in Novel
Way Advantages of An
neXation to Harrisburg

To prove his arguments in favor of
the annexation of the West Shore to
Harrisburg, the Rev. C. d. Rishel,
pastor of the Church of God, South
! Enola, appeared at the meeting of
Midway citizens last night with Ian
tern. The minister said he must
| carry lantern at night because the
district is without street lights and
If 1t was taken into the city of Har-
| risburg would have the streets light
ed as we'll as many other modern
conveniences.
The meeting was the third of q
! series being held in the West Shore
towns under the auspices of the
West Shore Firemen's Union. Up
to this time, Lemoyne and Worm
leysburg have favored it and are
going on with the work. West Fair
view is undecided over the matter
and New Cumberland, judging from
the meeting held there on Tuesday
will not give the matter any con-
sideration. Meetings are to be held
in Enola and Camp Hill, after which
the sentiment of the entire West
Shore will be known. The meeting
at Enola will be held tonight and at
Camp Hill Monday night.
At the Midway meeting last night
about fifty persons in attendance IA
vored the move. Many requests that
another meeting be held next week,
so that they fully understand the
proposition before starting a petit
ton among the taxpayers.
Arthur r. Rupley, of Carlisle, a
former resident of West Fairview.
brought out the advantages of being
annexed to the city. Mr.. Rupley
explained the advantages of having
| city government; better fire protec-
ton; better schools and other mod
ern facilities. Mr.. Rupley said the
taxes may be increased slightly but
