Red Cross Plans to
Give Christmas Cheer

The Home Service Section of the
local American Red Cross chapter be-
lieves there are many families in and
around Harrisburg which will have
little or no Christmas this year un-
less it is provided for them.
They are preparing to give these
families the needfuls as we'll as candy.
toys and things which will delight the
youngsters.
The undertaking is a large one, for
the list of names in Red Cross head
quarters is formidable. Consequent
ly assistance for those who would be
willing to purchase such articles as
the Red Cross knows are needed, or
who would be willing to give funds
to the Red Cross for the purchase of
such articles, would be welcomed
There are quite a number of fami-
lies nearby. the fathers of which
were either killed or incapacitated
during the war. The Red Cross has a
very definite obligation to these fam
lilies. and one of their pieces of work
for them will provide Christmas
cheer.
Help in whatever form it is elected
to render it, will be most welcome.
All Information desired should be Sc
cured through Miss Ringland, Home
Service Executive. American Red
Cross, 119 South Front street

Herman P. Miller. chairman of the
building code committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce. reported that
his committee has gathered vast
amount of data from other cities
and is now engaged in tho task of
formulating this into an ordinance
for submission to City Council. The
data to digest and formulate is ex-
| tensive and from three to four
months will be required, but he be-
lieves when 1t is done the commit
tee will have framed for Councils
consideration one of the best build
ing, ordinances in the country and
that will amply protect the pub
lie.
The necessity of protecting resi-
dence districts from the encroach-
ments OF undesirable buildings was
pointed out and this matter also will
be taken up by the Committee on
Public Affairs when the matter as O
, whole is laid before Council.
Guests From Other Cities
The Rotarians had as their guests
last evening Elmer L. Schuyler, for
merly of the Telegraph staff, now
editor of the Gazette and Bulletin,
Williamsport, and the Rev. c. Baty-
less, of the Baltimore Club, who ap-
peared in behalf of the candidacy
of Frank S. Chavennes, president of
the Baltimore Club and head of the
Chesapeake Iron Works of that city,
whose friends have induced him to
stand for district governor next year.
The election will take place in Scran-
ton in April and already Mr.. Cha
venues has received the endorsement
of a number of the clubs for the
Office.
The Rotarians after the meeting
We're taken to the plant of the Bell
company in Walnut street where
they were shown the workings of the
mechanical system that connects up
the Bell phones in the Harrisburg
district. as we'll as the operations of
the long distance lines. Mr.. Fetter
and the corps of Bell men in attend
ance took the Rotarians from cellar
to garret, but the visitors were most
interested in the local exchange
where despite the fact that the hour
was quiet the girls were busy as
bees in front of the great switch
board where all connections are
made when calls are received. The
girls work at high tension all the
time and after observing their ac-
tivity and the efforts made to make
all connections promptly and eff
ciently, together with the nature of
the wqyk involved, more than one
Rotariah was heard to remark:
WE'LL, I'll never again. call down
a telephone exchange girl for some
fancied delay"
After the demonstration the men,
bers were taken to the restroom
where the telephone girls enjoy their
rest periods. The work is hard but
the company gives time off for re-
creation and the room provided is
handsomely furnished and is provid-
ed with a Nictrola and reading mat
ter. On the first floor is a small res
taurant where the girls are given
their lunches at cost and where the
Rotarians were given a sample of
the fare provided for them. They
greatly enjoyed their trip through
the plant and went home with. a
new idea of the volume and scope of
the telephone business.

ing about the admission of evidence

decision of the General Council of
the Lutheran Church to merge with
other Lutheran organizations and
form the United Lutheran Church.
The pastor. the Rev. John Henry
Miller, together with others of the
congregation, contend that they are
not bound by the action of the Gen
eral Council, and will not agree to
enter the United Lutheran organi-
zation because of alleged differences
in its constitution as compared
with the constitution of the General
Council.
]. L. Gresham and George w
Zimmerman, two of the plaintiffs,
were the only witnesses heard this
morning. They contend in the
equity suit which they have filed in
the county court that the pastor of
the church and others of the congre-
cation not agreeing to the merger
have no right to the church prop
erty.
Prominent Lutheran clergymen
from the eastern part of the coun-
try have been present in court dur
ing the hearing of the case and the

Judge Kunkel is one which will af-
