J There was special feature in con

the jubilee quite interesting. MI
: Stewart, who Is styled as being ono
Of Lynchburg's best singers had come
, down to enter in a singing contest
with Mr.. S. E. Mason, of Appomattox
. They both entered the contest in a
joyful mood each feeling confident he
would be the winner. Mr.. Stewart led
the way, followed by Mr.. Mason, both
nj their best. At times the singers
! would almost life their hearers to their
: feet. Miss Inez e. Reynolds, the
charming player of Lynchburg, played
Tor both parties. There was set of
, judges (white) who had given years
, of careful study TO music, selected to
pass upon the singing. At the close
when each had done his best, the
judges retired and on their return
they reported their finding in favor of
Mr.. Mason. OF Appomattox, Va. Mr..
! Stewart sang we'll, but was in no way
Mr.. Mason's equal. Mr.. Stewart was
advised to go back and send some one
else down.
There was q large delegation thai

cd the train at Lynchburg to return
TO Camp Lee, as he had to report Mon
day morning. He stated to our re-
porter, Mr.. Mason, that when he got
to the station Sunday night the train
was about to leave. He got on the
train without getting his ticket. When
the conductor came around to take up
tickets he ran his hand in his pocket
to pay his fare, and he found he had
lost part Of his fare money, so the SOL
dicr boy whose life is at stake for this
government was put off the train on a
dark and rainy night. But when the
dawn of a new day broke in upon him
and the news went out that he was

SAVING LOST SHIPS

A factor in the shipping problem
that is entirely new to most Amcri-
cans is revealed In IA recent announce.
ment from London. We have thought
of ships sunk by the U-boats as def
nitely lost. There has been some talk
of the possibility of salvaging many
OF them after the war, but such an
enterprise has not been generally re
garded as very practicable at pres
ent Now we are told that the British
government has been doing this very
thing right along, with surprising
| success.
In the last three aud half years
more than 100 ships sunk by the Ger
mans have been 1oated In British wa
ters and restored to the allied mer
chant ilect During tho present year
the work has gone ahead with better
results than ever, owing to improved
processes.
There have been l41 ships raised IL
five months. This Is an average OF
nearly 30 ships a month, and prob
ably EQUALS about half of all the ship
ping sunk by tho Germans In tn,

CITY PARK IN NORTH SIDE MADE
into SITE FOR ICE CREAM STAND

ft'-cvcn supposing ii would wish To
do so.
They also say that IL is primarily
the city's duty to keep these parks
! free from weeds and long grass of
which the service director complains.
OF course this seems impossible in
view of the fact that the city has not
the wherewthal to hire labor and this
puts /. directly up to the citizens
again.
Secretary Leroy G. Mayer of the
Chamber of Commerce has advised
the formation of civic leagues the oh.
icct of which would be to see that
these matters are taken care of botl,
from a spirit of civic pride and fnan.
cial benefit to property owners.
Mr.. Mayer believes that an organiz.
alton of the citizens in the vicinity of
each of these parks could. with little
expense. have them cleaned up, have
shrubbery and flowers planted and sec
that they were maintained.
81 do not believe" Mr.. Mayer said.
that the Chamber of Commerce could
deal with this park problem as well
as can the citizens who live near them
II they but organize for that purpose.
The Chamber of Commerce, of course,
would be ready to lend any assistance
IN such movements as ii could, but |
think that question is directly up to
the citizens living near the parks.
My idea would be to have these civ
1c leagues permanently organized with
q view to dealing with all problems af.
fccting their particular section of
town using the Chamber of Com
mcrcc as "a member of the allied or.
ganizations. For example: Let the
North Side civic league deal with
North Side problems unless they al.
so affected the interests of the whole
town, when tho other leagues and the
Chamber of Commerce would also be
interested in the matter. The same
would be true Of each league Gael,
one looking to the best interest of its
own particular section while the
Chamber of Commerce tried to aid i'm
the solution of questions affecting the
city as whole.
