GASLESS SUNDAY
PUTS CHURCHMEN
IN PREDTCAMENT

Tomorrow, ''gasless" Sunday, is
the date set one year ago for the
annual convention of the young
peoples societies of the Rock Is
Iand district Of Lutheran churches.
ne convention is to convene IN
Moline, and expectations are that
no less than 500 delegates, repre-
sentatlYes Of Lutheran church So
cletes from a district embracing
the counties OF Rock Island, Mer-
Ger and Henry viii attend.
This is all very welI-so far.
But by government decree. tomor-
row is ''gasIess" day, and many
delegates who planned to como
have no other means Of transpor-
tauon to this city than by auto
mobile. Many from the smaller
communities, especially those on
the Rock Island lines, have found
it impossible to secure transporta-
ton by rail.
Now as convention preparations
were made long before the gas
less" Sunday was even dreamed by
national economists, MOlineTs are
asked to be COnsiderate and fair
minded in their criticisms Of those
Out-of-town church representa-
tIveS who screw up sufficient Cour-
age to expose themselves to public
CensUre.
Invitations for the meet, 10 be
held at First Swedish Lutheran
church in Moline, were sent out
months ago by the president Of the
Moline society who is now in the
thick Of the fighting in France.
we are making these facts
known" stated Rev. a. r. Berg
strOm, pastor of the church, in the
hope that those who can come here
no other way than by auto will not
be branded as slackers and their
machines painted yellow. It is not
a case of intentional ignoring OF
government request, but because
there is no way in which the cir
cumstances can be avoided"
Many delegates are expected TO
arrive in Moline this afternoon.

The Moline city commission was

IN completing the double tracking
project on Fourth avenue by officials
Of the Tri-City Railway company.
Assurance was made only upon

numerous complaints regarding
what seems like unnecessary delay
on the part Of the company in con-
Guiding the work.
The Improvement on Fourth ave

PARK
CLOSES SEASON
Moline Recreation Center Officials
Formally End Season To-
morrow Night

1t is announced that Prospect
park will close tomorrow evening, at
the end of what officials designate
as an incompIeted season.
Incomplete inasmuch as the
Coaltown farmers failed to put in
their usual annual appearance. For
years and years it has been the an
nual custom Of farmers along Coal
town road, Colona avenue and
crossroads, to unite in an all day
outing at the Moline park. For the
rural folk this was the day of for
getfulness, merrymaking and
events of sport holding undisputed
sway.
Park authorities and those in
terested in the annual event have
= aited patiently for weeks and
" eeks this year without result. The
event was expected daily. The
farmers had never missed a day.
The war and unusual labor con-
dittOns on the farm are expected to
have kept the farmers busy. Due
to the cool weather OF the last two
weeks there has been little activity
at the recreation resort. The bath
ing beach has been informally closed
for more than a week Tomorrow
hight marks the formal closing of it
and the refreShment stand.
