DRIVE FOR THE
JEWISH w AR
RELIEF FUND

The drive for the Jewish Relief
Fund was conducted under great dlt-
ficulties in st. Tammany parish, SICK
ness among the committees, the t1u
and bad weather all worked against
a successful canvass. NotWlthStand-
ing this a neat sum was raised and
there is much credit due Mrs. Moses
and those who worked with her for
the cause. The greatest assistance
came through the Jahncke shipyards,
which has always donated literally to
every cause About $4,000 was
raised from this source, and the men
working in the yards and the officials
of the company will be remembered
with gratitude by the Jews.
Slidell, under Chairman Dubuis-
son, raised 100000.
Vaudeville, under Chairman Levy,
$2540O.
Covington, under the ladies' COM
mittee, $38163, and through lobar
of Judge Badon; VIM. Oswald, 500;
total for Covington, $481.63.
It is expected that other sums Will
be turned in later.
The following letter mas DeeH re-
ceived by Mrs Moses, Parish Chair

Madisonville Believes That
Cov1ngton Is Just AS
Much Interested.
CARPENTERS UNION
FURNISHED $19,OOO.OO
Meeting To Be Called In
yCovington For Next
Monday At 2::3O.

A delegation from Madisonville
met the Association of Commerce,
Wednesday, in Covington, relative to
interesting Covington in the reim-
bursement of Carpenters Union of
Madisonville to the extent of funds
that it considers. should have been
subscribed by Covington toward de-
fraying the expenses of delegates to
Philadelphia and Washington in the
interest of shipbuilding at the
Jahncke shipyards. The delegation
was composed of Samuel ]. Allison,
superintendent of painting at the
yards and president of the Marine
Painters, representing Madisonville,
Mr.. Allison was also one of the del
egates to Washington) w. L. Coal
we'll, corresponding secretary of the
Carpenters Union, and V. J. Roux,
financial secretary and business agent
of the Carpenters Union, and Ana
tole Beaucoudray, member of the
Carpenters Union.
The plea of the delegation was,
that CovingtOn was largely benefited
by the shipyards, many of the work
men being residents here, and that
Covington was receiving a large por-
ton of the trade of the shipyard
workers. Madisonville had raised
$4,000 and 100000 had been tax
en- from the treasury of the Carpen-
ters Union to defray the expenses OF
the delegates who went to Washing
ton and Philadelphia to induce the
Emergency Fleet Corporation to con-
tinue the building of ships contract
ed for at the Jahncke yards and to
prevent legislation hurtful to the
shipbuilding interests at Madison
vile.
Mr.. Allison stated that as they
had been successful in their under
taking there should be no trouble lin
getting Covington to donate its share
of the money expended. The. people
were taking no chances in the mat
ter, but were paying for something
already received, for which they
would enjoy the benefits and for
which they should gladly be willing
to pay.
1t was arranged that day be set
for public meeting to take place
Monday, so that matters might be
clearly put before the business inter
ests Of Covington. There will be
speakers from Madisonville and a
free discussion.

MADISONVILLE
ROAD SOON TO
BE FIXED.

The keeping of the Madisohville
road in repair is a very large size
problem. In the first place the road
was constructed without a proper
preparation of the foundation and
weak SPOTS in the clay are constant
Iy sinking. requiring Watchful care
to keep it in condition.
The very bad weather, in conjunc-
tion with the inability to get shells
for repair work, has made it practl-
callt impossible to keep it in condl-
ton. Mr.. Geo. koepp states that he
has under construction polled road
leading to several barge loads OF
hells, which it has been Impossible
to haul over the boggy dirt road.
This road will be completed by the
middle of next week, and by the end
of the week it may be anticipated
that the Madisonville road will be
worked and these shells used.

Weather conditions have put the
roads in bad condition all over the

LAUNCHING OF THE ABBEVILLE.


In so far as the shipyard workers
have interested themselves in behalf
of the parish of st. Tammany to the
extent of sending delegates to Wash
ington for the continuation OF the
shipyard work, We insist thar the
police jury of this parish endeavor to
make the necessary repairs to the
roads to and from the shipyard.
Itseems shameful that We have re-
peatedly called to the attention OF
the police jury the condition of the
roads and very little has been done
| towards improving them. 1t is so
now that men can hardly go back and
| forth to and from their work.
| The streets of MadisonVille are in
need Of repair, but that is not all!
Some time ago, everybody was or
dered to collect all garbage on their
premises and place it in cans on the
! sidewalks, and that it would be col
llected by the town.
We are sorry to say that this garb-
/ age was never collected The result
/ is that the majority of the garbage
cans have been capsized and their
/ contents are lying on the sidewalk or
in the ditch Meanwhile, government
officials in Washington are planning
to make sanitary survey Of st. Tam
many parish.
! In an article in Sundays Times
| lPicayune, DR.. L. l.. Lumsden, sur

tion between the Public Health Ser
j vice and the City Board of Health
for a sanitary survey of ST. Tammany
parish.
/ DR.. Lumsden says that there are
several shipyards in the parish and
this work should be undertaken in
and around these centers. Owing to
the fact that Madisonville is ship

busy and clean up before this cam
