Good Roads Have Been
Started in Heller
(5y Harry cohen)

II a mountain place, so-called OBJ
scure hilly place and hot place like
Heller can have good roads, then it is
high time for every community to
wake up and understand that in the
twentieth century we should be living
in modern world and enjoying its
conveniences.
The good roads are at last realiza-
ton in HELLER, and much roadway has
been accomplished with steam shovel
that is removing old mother earth into
road bed. The work is going ahead
with much celerity. The road is being
constructed from the Edgewater plant
of the Edgewater Coal Co to the Look
out plant of the same company.
The work was started through the
progressive efforts of Mr.. c. A. War
den, superintendent, who is determin-
ed that we should not be living behind
the times. This will be an untold con-
venience for the public in general.
Everyone will be benefactor. 1t is
said, the good road movement will be
taken up from Lookout by the county
and extended on into Marrowbone, 8
miles away from HELLER, where it will
connect with the proposed highway to
Ashland. Now. then. Mr.. Warden. let
us all sing together:
We are saving all the tin,
We're not wasting single board,
We're holding tight every penny,
For soon we expect to buy Ford!
