There is no doubt that the legisla- ture will submit the proposed s25,0o0,- 900 bond issue to the people of the state for ratification" said Clarence will not be any trouble in getting the people to ratify it if it is presented in the right manner. Ignorance and preju- dices will be one of the greatest ob- stacles before its passage, but they can be overcome by presenting the mat ter in its true light and by showing the great necessity of good roads and the profits that would be turned back to the people of the state by the pas sage of the bond issue"

 Every state represented in the Rain bow division has chapters and the towns that had companies have sub chapters While the main object of the organization is to perpetuate that spirit of unity and comradeship that was the greatest single feature in the success of the division there will be social features of the local chapters and the Alabama chapter is trying to help it's members along all the lines that af- fects the x-soldier-conversion of his way insurance, adjusting unpaid Scot- ments and in securing vocational train ing for the partially disabled"

It was my first trip to the mill site, in fact never saw the dam, or any sign whatever of water save Purdy lake, which we passed on our way out.

It was ideal barbe- cue weather. just hot enough to wilt mes collar and make him shuch his coat.
