A motorist in the eastern part OF
the county had to get out and level
down the ridge of sod, rock and dirt
in the road to loosen up and save the
pan" on his machine. No wonder
auto-owners protest against double
and triple taxation! While the au-
tomobile is now recognized as THE
means of travel-a thing of necessi-
ty, unequaled utility and here to
stay-many road men have no eye
whatever to their just requirements.
We have reached an age when a
county's reputation depends upon it's
roads, and while a Macadam system
cannot be adopted at once, road
builders and workers can have an eye
to the needs and comforts of auto
owners, thus showing an up-to-date
interest and progress. 1t requires
more time and money to make the
crooked places straight" than it
does to make trough places smoothe"
because many of these are small and
can be remedied in a short time.
Can't the authorities do some work
Of this sort before July 4th when we
will have scores Of auto parties COM
ing our way? The reputation of the
county is at stake, to say nothing of
the visitors comfort.

MONTEREY, VA, JUNE Is, 1919

If the patrons of the Monterey
school and school entertainments
were questioned on the matter they
would be aunt in the claim that they
are entitled to more comfort than
they now enjoy when they assemble
at the school building, a claim that
is strengthened by each successive
gathering. These same patrons are
always liberal in their support OF
pay entertainments, and if the word
were given out that one or two such
were to be held for the purpose of
purchasing comfortable chairs for
the audience room, there would be
packed houses each time. There are
now a few such chairs in the room,
hut these are always reserved for
some purpose, and the majority OF
people are left to jam up and bunch
up-'any way to get up"-and the
result is that many are too unconfor-
table to enjoy the program.
The faculty and pupils may regard
it as the business of some one else to
seat the room, and perhaps it is, but
the running expenses of such
school are pretty heavy and the
School Board is limited in the matter
of public funds, hence tn only pros
pect of relief is through the initiative
of the faculty. The patrons will dc
the rest, as we have already stated
The old issue of benches now there
are At for nothing but kindling-wood
and will always be remembered by
possible curvature of the spine they
have caused in the past, not to men
ton corns and callouses.
In this matter of seating, if we had
a say, there would be no peanut
gallery" but comfortable seats al
the way through, with the back tier:
a little elevated, where appreciativt
folks could find comfort and by theil
presence shame the few youngsters
who seek that quarter ana regard i
as place that licenses rlrdeness, ano
who feel called upon to annoy Others
by cat-calls, shrill whistling anG
general rowdyism.
Then, too, the question of lights /:
discussed every time such public
meetings are held, and the concensu!
of opinion is that the Board SHOULD
have this room wired and fitted W
in this particular. The cost would
not be heavy, and the current" ex
penses would be negligible.
These spring finals, as we'll as the
entertainments given during eacf
term are of interest and profit t.
Both pupils and patrons-occasion Of
real pleasure and enioyment-and
the things mentioned are just as i'm
portant and essential as the class
room equipment and accessories that
are being provided year by year.

A WORTHY CAUSE

Last week The Recorder published
a brief article about the campaign
for the Children's Home Society Of

with the needs of the Society that
the editor of the Recorder has ac-
cepted the Craftsmanship in Highland
county. The quota is $4,000 in
the State and only $3.50 in this coun-
ty. That gives to each magisterial
district fraction over 500 to raise.
To aid us in this campaign we have
appointed the following we'll known
persons to assist:
Monterey Distriet-Rev. G. w.
Staples, Rev. N. A. Parker and Miss
Evelyn Jones.

Rev. H. w. Lindamood, Mrs Jas. A.
Fleisher, and Mrs. Mary Colaw.
Stonewall District-Rev. M. L.
Moffett, Rev. S. R. Snead, Miss Jose
phine Bradshaw. -
The editor of The Recorder is 60
ing to rely largely on his co-workers
to raise this small sum OF money
The ministers can secure much of i
through their churches.
The people at large in the count!
are asked to send their contribution
to the Recorder and due acknowleds
ment will be made. The names o
Ill contributors who give as much
as soc will be published.
The campaign opened June 1Otl
md will close June 25th. Thi
noney is to care for 10000 orphan
children, made so by the world wa
and the spread of influenza.
Send in your donations promptly.
