JUNIATA
WAR GARDEN PRIZES

  Silk mill employes who have been tilling war gardens are garnering a very 
satisfactory harvest of vegetables and were on Saturday further rewarded with 
prizes bestowed by the Schwarzenbach Huber company.  The silk workers are 
doing a handsome bit of war gardening on a fertile plot back of the Juniata 
mill and for some weeks past have been enjoying the eating of choice 
vegetables of their own producing.  While the move was purely voluntary on 
the part of the employes it has drawn the recognition of the company and 
prizes were determined by judge selected from the force and General Supt. 
Robert Brupbacher on Saturday forwarded commensurate checks to Martin 
Aichelmann, Frank Beuna, Gottlieb Baer, John Deppen, Mike Noll and O. H. 
Aichelmann.  The money came as a surprise and the recognition is highly 
appreciated.
