Homecoming Celebration;
Hold Memorial Services

The Wormleysburg celebration for
the men and women who went away
from that borough to enter the serv-
ice was we'll under way this after
noon at three o'clock. Early this
morning final preparations were
made and last minute plans per-
fected.
- The town from one end to the
other and crossways is decorated
Flags are waving from nearly every
mouse, and the poles and trees are
tWlned with varicolored bunting.
Across the street where the parade
VIII be reviewed there hangs a huge
American flag of tremendous dimen-
stons and it is under this flag that
the soldiers will march in their
final parade.
Borough Is Pleased
Everyone in the borough is warm
In their praise of Burgess ]. Fred
Hummel, who is said to have been
one of the most energetic workers
for the success of the Homecoming.
burgess Hummel and Mrs. Luther
shoemaker were elected by the bor-
ough month ago as chairman and
treasurer of the committee on ar
engagements to prepare for the cele-
prat1on. They have been working
steadily ever since that time, and
when the last service man returned
last week, the date was finally fixed
for the welcome.
This afternoon the parade got
away promptly at $50, and wound
lts way about the town. In the van
were the fifty men who represented
Wormleysburg in the World War,
preceded only by those older vet
Grams. the soldiers of the G. A. r.
and the Spanish American War.
Others who shared honors in the
parade were the members of the
Red Cross chapter of the borough,
who marched in uniform; the fire.
men, the school children and the
committee of arrangements.
Memorial Service
Following the parade the hungry
soldiers made rush for the ban
quet table, which was laid for 5
o'clock in the town hall. Every
thing that could be imagined was
served out to the boys. and at 6
o'clock the attack was still going
strong, although most of the objec-
tlVes had been reached and taken
without struggle. Mrs. S. S.
Glessner was in charge of the ban
quet committee and it is safe to say
that she is the most popular woman
in Wormleysburg to-day.
After the banquet memorial
service was held in the hall. com
memorating the services of Charles
Hauck, 315th Infantry, 10th Division,
who fell in action, and Cletus

men and women in Wormleysburg
and all of them have returned safely
with the exception of the two for
whom services are being held. Prac-
tlcally every corps in the Army and
Navy are represented by the men.
The committee on arrangements
include: Burgess Hummel, Mrs.
Luther Shoemaker, Charles Sher-

Virtually All Mechanics
in Five Shops Are
Now Out on Strike
BY 4ssociatcd P,esS.

Altoona, Pa, oct. II. - Virtually
the entire mechanical force at the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad shops in AL
toona, East Altoona, Juniata, South
Altoona and Hollidaysburg were on
strike to-day to enforce the senior
ity rule at one of the shops.
The trouble started on Wednesday
when the mechanics at the Altoona
enginehouse quit work because they
objected to the appointment of an
assistant foreman from the Holli-
daysburg shop. Yesterday in response
to the call of the leaders of the
shop crafts, which include machin-
lists, boilermakers, blacksmiths, sheet
metal workers, electricians and car
men, approximately 10000 men
walked out in sympathy with the
mechanics. Others were expected to
join the strikers ranks to-day. The
decision to call a general strike.
union leaders said, was reached af-
ter all efforts to adjust the difficulty
with railroad officials had failed.
About 800 special duty men, minor
bosses, who are ordinarily distrib-
uted along the system, have been
brought here to take the place of
the strikers and others were ex-
pected to-day. A number of railroad
policemen also are here. but there
has been no disorder and they have
not been placed on duty. Pickets
are stationed at all shop gates. Meet
ings of the strikers, it was announc-
ed by the city authorities. would not
be disturbed. The Mayor has ac-
cepted the offer of the union men
to assist in preserving order and
some of them were acting as traf-
fic officers to-day.
So far the walkout has not inter-
fered with traffic, but officials of
the company said there may be SER
ious interruption, both in passenger
and freight service, should the strike
continue

Among the things that are studied
by the survey, he said. are what the
schools are doing for thee community {:
how the salaries OF teachers compare
with other cities whether the build
1ngs and equipment are up to needs
whether. for instance, the blackboards
are too high in primary Fade, and how
the lighting is.
Health Is Factor
He said that many adults wear
glasses because of the bad lighting they
had in the schools they attended as
children. at is a crime to force
children to school by law and then ruin
their health by bad lighting.
"The greatest waste next to poor
teaching" he said the survey discloses.
us the number who fail to 60 to school
when they should. The loss of time
is equal to a quarter of the pupils en- :
rolled in New Jersey"
He said n survey would disclose
whether the proportion of money spent
on high schools compares with that
spent on elementary schools.
1T is crime against children he
said. ito have but one teacher to fifty
pupils. It is criminal to build high
schools at the cost Of a million dol
lars and take it out on the primary
schools with fifty six children in one
