Declaring that it was an absolute
necessity that substitute material
for gravel be devesied in order that
the roadbuilding program in this
state be carried out, Mr.. Duncan Buie
stressed the fact while here yester-
day that a shell distribution plant at

writer that the exploitation OF the

a benefit to the state as well as to
the people themselves.

Buie, ito be spent for roadbuilding

This roadbuilding will require zoO,-
600 cubic yards of material. and the
three gravel pits operating in the
state of Louisiana are unable to sup

material must be found, and the only
material that l know Of at present
is the she'll at the Point au Fere
reef. This shell can be dredged and
hauled to the various points where
roadbuilding is contemplated at a
much cheaper price hhan gravel. This
is one Of the features that make it q
most desirable material. The second
reason is that it forms an excellent
roadbed. as the she'll after being laid
forms a concrete slab. This shell,
with a surface of gravel, makes as
good a road as money can buy

How Methodists Will
Spend Thirty-FNe Mil
lion Dollars
Seven Million Coming Back into
Southern States, Five Mil
lion for Europe, Millions
for Other Countries


''Thirty-five million dollars!
That's a lot of money. What
will you do with it after you get
it?"
This is the question that was
asked by a well known Southern
banker of a Methodist layman
who had been telling him of the
Methodist plan to raise $4,000
900 in the Southern States in an
eight-day drive May 1925. The
question was one of dozens of
similar queries which have been
made to the leaders of the Gen.
tenary Campaign regarding the
drive and, because people seem
interested to know where thirty
five million dollars is going,
here's the story, straight from
headquarters, and every word
true.
To begin with, the thirty five
million will be raised entirely by
Methodists. No one outside Of
that church will be solicited for
a cent of it and, unless a man
happens to be member of .
Methodist congregation, he will
not be asked to donate anything
towards the cause. If he feels
particularly friendly towards
Methodism and the things which
his Methodist friends will do
with the money he is, of course.
privileged to give what he cares
to, but, otherwise, every cent Of
the $35, 100000 will be raised
by the members of the Metho-
dist Church. The Methodists
say they can do it and from the
way they have lined up their
teams and outlined their plans
it looks as though they might
more than do it by the closing
date of the drive.
Working from the viewpoint Of
the optimist who is assured he
is going to get what he goes af-
ter even before he goes after It,
the Methodists have outlined .
really rather wonderful survey
which contains every detail Of
their plans for spending the thir-
ty-five million. The survey II
done into neat form in large
square book containing one hum
dred and eight pages and these
books have been sent broadcast
over the South. The church IL
working on the great democratic
theory that there are to be mo
secret pacts" and the spending
of every one of those three bill
lion five hundred million cents
is accounted for. We will not
attempt to account for all these
pennies here, because even the
friendliest member of the Fourth
Estate isn't willing to turn over
his entire newspaper to one ar
ticle. But, for the benefit of that
inquiring banker-and the ten
thousand other inquiring people
in this city-here is a quickly
summed-up outline of what
Southern Methodists will do to-
wards rebuilding the world.
Starting at home, as every
great movement should do, the
Methodists will spend over sew
, en- million dollars in the Southern
and Southwestern States. This
will be divided between the fol-
lowing forms of work: mountain,
immigrant, Negro, Indian, cot
ton mill people, increasing salar-
lies of underpaid pastors, in the
promotion of Christian literature
for all of them, and in various
. forms of city and rural work.
