HOME COMING SERVICES

The members of the Christian
Church were pleased with the results
of the Home Coming service held yes
torday morning. They wish to thank
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Dodds for their as
sistance in makingsthe musical part
of the program so good. The firm of
Diener G. Knox is also thanked for
the use of the furniture which gave
the vestibule of the church such a
home like appearance. Though the
attendapce was large, many more
would have been presented but for the
ruling on the use of automobiles on
Sunday.
This church announces a special
service for the children and younger
members of the church for next Sun
day morning. An illustrated sermon
will be given by the minister. The
parents may find this an interesting
service for them also.

WHEN GENERALIZATION COMES
How Citizens May Help Win the War
By Preparing For Peace

For all of us who stay at home
and who wish to render service in
some degree comparable with that of
our brothers abroad, there is oppor-
tunity for work of broader and more
fundamental character than any we
have yet performed We must not
merely plan for peace by winning the
war; we must also contribute to win
ming the war by planning for peace"
says The American City.
The real leader must be a planner.
If he wants to make the world safe
for democracy he must remember
that the United States is a part of the
world, and that his own State and
city are also parts of the world.
Safety for democracy involves
much more than freedom from mill
tary oppression-it involves freedom
from the oppression of the Slum and
the fire-trap; freedom from polluted
'N'Ni anu - oiii IllIuuit lOOu, lTeGuOlll
to travel on roads that are safe and
on streets that are clean; freedom
from the fear of unemployment and of
contagious disease; freedom, in short,
to live and work and play under
healthful and happy conditions.
1.-THE men in the trenches will de-
! mand this kind of freedom when they
return homeland they will have a
right to demand it. If they know that
it is being planned for now through
out the Nation-in their own state
and their hope town-they will be
even more convinced than ever that
they have country worth fighting
| for.
"Many cities and towns through
out the United States were making
rapid strides in the direction for ra-
tional development when the United
States entered the war. Much of the
public work then planned has, for
financial or patriotic reasons, been
postponed till the war is over. But

5. The Council will shortly begin,
in cooperation with the Office of Pub
lie Roads of the Department of Agri-
culture, and the State highway de-
partment of the several States, the
preparation of a program of road and
street construction, reconstruction
maintenance throughout the United
States for the working season of 1919
The purpose of the program is to OBJ
| tain an approximation of the charac-
ter and amount of street and highway
work deemed essential in 1919 to-
gether with ~an approximation of the
amount and character of financing re-
CURED, the amount and character Of
the various materials entering into
the work, the extent to which rail
and water transportation will be i'm
volved, and the probable demands
upon the labor supply. The prepara-
ton of the program in each state will
be directed by the, State highway de-
partment, and will cover all State,
county, townhip, and municipal high
way and street work

Importance of the construction of
which has progressed to such a point
as to cause serious hardship If the
construction or completion is post
poned.
The Council is hopeful that the Sc
lective consideration of new highway
and street construction by the town
ship, county, and municipal officials
and in turn by the State highway de-
partments will so internally eliminate
the less essential projects as to make
it possible for the Council to render
active aid on the project it approves
The aid contemplated will be in the
form of such action by the other gov
eminent agencies involved as will re-
move obstacles to the speedy compile
ton of the projects.
8. By way Of definition of high
ways of military and National econo-
mic value, the Council offers the fol-
lowing:
Ia A highway of military value is
one used regularly for the transport
tation of military supplies in consid-
aro hIo cuoptitv. fo, tbo ,,ooyo,,,ont n,
an established practice of army truck
trains, of which is essential to the eff
ficient operation of a military canton
ment, post, or plant
CD A highway of National economic
value is one which serves or will
| serve, if properly Improved, directly
to promote the welfare of the Nation
and not merely the local welfare. As
examples in may be stated that in
this class would be placed a high
ways which although not directly
used for military purposes yet serve
to help win the war by greatly facili-
tating the output or movement of war
munitions and supplies; (2) highways
which can clearly be shown to relieve
congestion on railroad line in a ter
ritory which is actually in need OF
such relief; CD highways which give
access to or promote the output of ma
tural products needed by the Nation
to marked degree; (4) highways
which further housing operations I'M
dertaken by the Federal Government
or by other agencies with the appro-
val of the FederaI Government would

ROAD WORK
DURING WAR time
IT EXPLAINED
U. 8. Highways Couuoil Makes State
ment As to Its Policy During
rs the Period of the War.

The United States Highways Coun-
Gil makes the following announce
ment with reference to policy and
procedure as to highway and street
work during the period of the war:
1. All proposed highway, street,
culvert and bridge construction, re-
construction, and maintenance involv-
ing (a) the Issuance of bonds; lb) the
use of rail or water transportation;
(c) the issuance of bonds; OBJ the
use of rail or water transportion; (c)
the use of coal or oil as fuel or, (d)
the use of cement, brick, asphalt, oil,
tar, crushed stone, or steel. (also sand
and gravel where shortage eXists) as
highway material, should first be sub
mitted for approval to the United
States Highways Council through the
appropriate State highway depart
ment No manufacturer will furnish
any road builder material until the
the project has been approved by the
United States Highways Council.
2. The Council again urges that
new highway and street construction
be confined to the most essential
needs. IF this is done will be far
greater probability that the work thus
selected can be promptly and effec-
lively carried through to completion
than If an amount far in excess of
the available faciltie were to be un-
dertaken.
The Council in passing upon the
projects which come before 1t will
give first consideration to mainten-
ance with a view to conserving all
the highways already completed il
possible.
Reconstruction will be favorably
considered by the Council only where
it is clearly established that main
tenance is no longer possible except
al prohibitive cost
New construction will be given con
sideration by the Council in the fol
lowing relative order of Importance

when peace does come, our states and
municipalities will have an oppor-
tunity, such as history has never be-
fore offered, to serve their citizens
and the Nation. This opportunity can
be grasped only If adequate plans are
matured during the war for public
improvements to be promptly when
war orders cease and Rehabilitation
begins. With such plans wisely made
the tide of reimbursement can be
briged with public works and public
poliones by which the whole world
shall know that the American soldier
and workman are indeed parts of the
democracy for whose welfare this wal
is being fought"
