SCHOOL PROBLEMS ARE
DISCUSSED AT MEETING
Regular Meeting of Parent Teachers
Association is Held at
Richland

The regular meeting Of the Parent
Teachers Association was held in the
high school auditorium Monday eve
ming with a very good attendance.
Routine business was transacted, G.
S. Gibbs being appointed to confer
with the other committees from the
churches and schools in an effort to
get up community Christmas tree
for the children this year. 1t was de-
cided that it would be better to give
small bag of popcorn to each child,
inasmuch as same would cost practic-
ally nothing and would at the same
time bring the spirit of the season
closer to the little ones.
The Fruitvale orchestra, assisted by
Chas. Garratt, delighted the meeting
with a number of selections, which
added much to the program.
A general discussion on chosen top
les rounded out the balance of the
profitable session, the remarks of Mrs.
O. B. Rollins and Principal E. Lud-
wick, of the high school. being par
ticularly to the point.
A number Of new members have
been added to the roll and drive will

committee with the end that every
family in the district will be repre-
- - -
and join now. The dues are only Is
cents year and you will get your
moneys worth at one meeting. OPP
portunity is given everyone to air his
views and this is big help in over
coming a natural diffidence about
speaking in public so that really the
association is school for parents
along certain lines.

Two hundred acres of land make
up Point Pleasant park. and the woods
have been left in wild state. The
roads are splendid. They were built

ONCE PROUD HALIFAX
NOW "ClTY OF DEAD"
Loss of Life Enormous, and
Property DESTROYED Worth
Millions of Dollars.
DISASTER CAUSED BY ERROR
Mistake in Signals Resulted in Steam
ship Collision Which Wrought
Havoc-City Has Had Long
and Interesting Record.

Halifax, n. S., wrecked by an ex-
ploding munitions ship, is a city of
dead. caused by the explosion and
fire which followed the collision in
Halifax harbOr between the Mont
Blanc, a munitions-Iaden French ship,
and the limo, loaded with supplies
for the Belgian relief commission.
Virtually all the north end of the
city was laid waste and the property
damage will run far into the mil
lions.
The pilot of the Mont Blanc states
that the collision was due to mistake
In signals during the storm that was
raging.
Outside the toll of life claimed on
land and sea by the great war, the
catastrophe at Halifax is by far the
greatest disaster in many years.
Numerous explosions have occurred
in munition plants in this country and
Europe, but the Halifax disaster is the
most tragic explosion, in the number
of lives lost, in the last quarter CEN
fury. Indeed, few catastrophes of any
nature have probably exceeded it in
the number of dead.
Pilot Frank Mackie of the Mont
Blanc declared that the collision re-
suited from confusion of whistles
sounded by the Iona, causing col
lision with the Mont Blanc, which ar
rived at United States Atlantic port
on November 9. laden with 5000 tons
of munitions for France. She was IN
bound from New York when she was
rammed by the Belgian relief ship
Iona.
Flames Caught Benzine.
The impact set fire to a deck load
of benzine on the French ship and the
flames quickly communicated with the
munitions. resulting in practical
bombaydment of the city.
The zone of destruction in Halifax
itself extended from the North street
railway station as far north as Atrlc-
vile to Bedford basin and covered an
area of about two square miles in the
section known as Richmond. The
buildings which were not demolished
by the force of the terrific explosion
were destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed.
District DenseIy Populated.
The devastated district was the old
err part of Halifax and thickly popu-
lated. 1t contained, in addition to
Citadel hill, many churches and
schools. the railway station, govern
ment dockyard Wellington barracks,

supplies by the French admiral. Duke
d'AnvilIe. in 1745. when he attempted
to recapture Louisburg. taken from
the French by band of New England
cOloniStS.
The real story of Halifax, however,
begins in 1749. when it was settled by
Lord Edward CORVALLIS and 2,576
English soldier-cOlOnists. The city
was named in honor of the earl of
Halifax. CORVALLIS laid out the town
in the somewhat rigid style that marks
it today.
