otdte bOaru OF OptOmetrlcal buucd-
ton, Examination and Licensure, by
Emerson Collins, deputy attorney
general. 1t is to the effect that the
two years of practice required to en-
title any one to the limited examina-
ton ''are not necessarily restricted
to the two years Immediately pre-
ceding the passage of the act, but 1t
would meet the requirements there
CT if such practice had been engaged
in for any two full years prior to the
passage of the act where the prac-
tice fulfilled the definition as laid
down"
1t is further held that the two
years REQUIRED must be continuous
years and it is expressly the case
where one year of practice occurs
in this state and the other year in
another state"
The decision is the second to be
given to the new board and will gov
ern a number of cases which have
arisen.
Two Weeks Given-Pardons rec
commended by the State Board at its
meeting held here last Thursday will
be signed by Governor Brumbaugh
within a day or so and will be issued
as soon as possible. Under the new
rules of the Board two weeks will
lie allowed for the completion of the
numerous papers necessary to COM
plete issuance of a pardon, but ow-
ing to the season efforts to advance
them will be made.
Twenty File - Twenty counties
have filed returns of the recent cleo
ton, including the soldier votes and
the remainder, except Philadelphia,
are expected before many days. The
only congressional return in hand
is from Forest county. The other
counties have reported judicial cleo
tions.
The congressional return judges of
the 2Sth district will meet at War
rem and make a consolidated return
report to the State Department.

CONTRIBUTE CORN
FOR BENEFIT OF
SOLDIERS SMOKES
West Shore School Children
Donate Four Bushels and
Three Pecks Halloween

A check for s7.13 was received
by the Telegraph this morning, for
the Soldiers Smoke Fund.
This amount was realized from
the sale of corn which was donated
by West Shore school children on
Halloween. The final count and
collection was made this week.
Two weeks before Hallowe'en
school students were asked to bring
all the corn to school that they
thought they would throw away in
the celebration of Halloween. The
result was four bushels and three
recKs.
Students from six to fifteen years
did their little bit toward the
smoke fund by bringing their con-
tribution of corn which was col
lected by a West Shore resident.
Iemoyne gave the most, with Camp
Hill second; New Cumberland. third
West Fairview, fourth, and Worm
lcysburg fifth.

chase in short time, to say nothing
of proposed leases. The demand for
hunting camp sites on state lands
this year is greater than ever before
some 500 sites have been granted,
mostly for the deer season. There
9are more than 400 permanent
camps, which are visited a couple or
times a year and, in addition hun
dreds of hunters are going out in
automobiles from small towns near
state reserves, spending the nights
at hotels or taverns back in the
hills.
The State Forestry authorities are
looking up $1,000 acres on the wes-
tern watershed, located mainly in
Bedford and adjoining counties,
which will he surveyed. This was
inspected by Commissioner Robert S.
Conklin last week. Tracts of $4,000
acres in Clearfield, Potter, Elk and
other counties and $4,000 acres in
Lycoming and Clinton can be bought
soon if the funds hold out, while
properties have also been offered in
Cambria and Somerset.
Commissioner Conklin says that
