Pa. Plumbers Retain Local Men In Office
President Lou A. Bettwy of Altoona and other 1944-45 officers of the Pennsylvania Association of Master Plumbers were reelected for another one-year term at a recent meeting of the board of directors in Lancaster. Roy P. Hiner of Altoona was retained as secretary at the fifty-first annual meeting. ' The directors, in reelecting all officers, followed unanimous action taken by the local association. The annual state convention, held in Altoona last year, was eliminated this year because of the association's desire to cooperate with war agencies in curtailing travel. Other association officers were reelected as follows: Vice president, Walter Ernst of East Petersburg; treasurer, William Fry of Philadelphia; directors, A. G. Ries of Munhall, L. J. Spaeder of Erie, Walter Ramsey of Harrisburg, Fred Kenneck of Philadelphia and James McStay of Philadelphia. Mr. Bettwy, as president of the Altoona Association of Master Plumbers, is a former director and vice president of the state body. He also served as general chairman of arrangements for the 1944 convention in Altoona. Records presented at the directors' meeting revealed a large increase in membership during tho past year. Extensive plans have been prepared for a further gain in 1945-4U with A. G. Ries of Munhall chairman for western Pennsylvania and Walter Ernst of East Peters' burg for eastern Pennsylvania. Directors pledged continued cooperation in the war effort, including active participation in the bond drives and rehabilitation of returned veterans, with each master plumber as an employer, obligating himself 100 per cent. It was reported that reconversion of materials for the trade has been assured in the near future. Building programs of all cities were discussed. The next directors' meeting will be held in Philadelphia.

Stockholders Paid In Full
In an announcement that has gone out to the stockholders of the Juniata Valley Building and Loan association, with headquarters at Claysburg, the liquidating trustees advise them that they have liquidated sufficient funds to pay another 10 per cent dividend. This means that the stockholders have been paid 100 per cent as far as their investment is concerned. The Juniata Valley is among the first associations in the county to completely liquidate. The effort has been in progress for a -number of years. Disposition has been made of most of the properties on a satisfactory basis. There are still some to be disposed of and the trustees advise that this is not the final dividend, even though the stockholders to date have received 100 per cent on the investment which they had made. The liquidating trustees are Congressman D. Emmert Brumbaugh of Claysburg, Lt. H. Querry of Hollidaysburg and Joseph H. Hartman of Martinsburg. In their announcement to the stockholders, the trustees voice thanks for the confidence placed in them.

Pa. Plumbers Retain Local Men In Office
President Lou A. Bettwy of Altoona and other 1944-45 officers of the Pennsylvania Association of Master Plumbers were reelected for another one-year term at a recent meeting of the board of directors in Lancaster. Roy P. Hiner of Altoona was retained as secretary at the fifty-first annual meeting. ' The directors, in reelecting all officers, followed unanimous action taken by the local association. The annual state convention, held in Altoona last year, was eliminated this year because of the association's desire to cooperate with war agencies in curtailing travel. Other association officers were reelected as follows: Vice president, Walter Ernst of East Petersburg; treasurer, William Fry of Philadelphia; directors, A. G. Ries of Munhall, L. J. Spaeder of Erie, Walter Ramsey of Harrisburg, Fred Kenneck of Philadelphia and James McStay of Philadelphia. Mr. Bettwy, as president of the Altoona Association of Master Plumbers, is a former director and vice president of the state body. He also served as general chairman of arrangements for the 1944 convention in Altoona. Records presented at the directors' meeting revealed a large increase in membership during tho past year. Extensive plans have been prepared for a further gain in 1945-4U with A. G. Ries of Munhall chairman for western Pennsylvania and Walter Ernst of East Peters' burg for eastern Pennsylvania. Directors pledged continued cooperation in the war effort, including active participation in the bond drives and rehabilitation of returned veterans, with each master plumber as an employer, obligating himself 100 per cent. It was reported that reconversion of materials for the trade has been assured in the near future. Building programs of all cities were discussed. The next directors' meeting will be held in Philadelphia.

Stockholders Paid In Full
In an announcement that has gone out to the stockholders of the Juniata Valley Building and Loan association, with headquarters at Claysburg, the liquidating trustees advise them that they have liquidated sufficient funds to pay another 10 per cent dividend. This means that the stockholders have been paid 100 per cent as far as their investment is concerned. The Juniata Valley is among the first associations in the county to completely liquidate. The effort has been in progress for a -number of years. Disposition has been made of most of the properties on a satisfactory basis. There are still some to be disposed of and the trustees advise that this is not the final dividend, even though the stockholders to date have received 100 per cent on the investment which they had made. The liquidating trustees are Congressman D. Emmert Brumbaugh of Claysburg, Lt. H. Querry of Hollidaysburg and Joseph H. Hartman of Martinsburg. In their announcement to the stockholders, the trustees voice thanks for the confidence placed in them.
