HIGHWAY BOARD
TO PROTEST ON
FREIGHT CARBAN

That the Association of Railway
Executives is planning to ask the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
put an embargo on the use of freight
cars for the shipment of material
used in highway construction, was
the information received Saturday
by the Georgia state highway board.
The information was contained In
the following telegram:
New York Times article on Fri
day reports that Association of Rail-
way Executives intends urging the
interstate commerce commission to
refuse cars and transportation for
all highway work in order to divert
labor and material to the railroad
field"
Immediately on receiving this in
formation, which was rather aston
ishing to officials of the state high
way department. steps were taken to
get in touch with the highway
boards of other states to organize a
protest against such action by the
interstate commerce commission.
DR.. Charles NJ. Strahan, chairman
of the highway board, took the view
that highway construction is all the
more acute at the present time on
account of the shortage of railroad
transportat facilities, and to stop
COlLoI1 uSIAOu IIOW WOulQ ne 10
Their curtail distribution.
He made the further point that
new highway projects would not
only, be, halted, but pending projects
would be. stopped where they are
and existing highways would be
crippled by reason Of detours around
the construction work being rem
dered impossible. Thus such an or
der would both prevent the building
of additional highways and would
seriously impair the carrying ca
pacity of existing highways.
The state highway board of Geor-
gia is mapping out very large pro-
gram of highway construction for
the next five. years. Georgia started
her state highway system last year
with the enactment of a law Great
ing the highway board and setting
aside the motor vehicle receipts, very
much increased, as a building fund
There was also introduced, and wilt
come before the next session. a bill
to provide for a highway bond is
sue.
This will be done by amending the
constitution to provide for the is
suance of 100000 OF more Of
highway bonds to be carried with
the motor vehicle license receipts,

PLAN OF UNION
IS ADOPTED BY
PRESBYTERIANS

CHARLOTTE, N. c., May 24.-The
plan of union proposed by the joint
committee on closer relations of the
assemblies of the Southern and
Northern Presbyterian churches
was adopted without dissenting
voice at the session of the South
ern assembly here today. Thls Is
sue was presented by the moderator
at the opening of the morning ses-
sion as unfinished business and
when he called for debate none de-
veIoped and the question was pass
ed with unanimity.
The northern assembly has not
acted on the plan of union proposed,
but it is expected it will take some
action on it at the assembly meet
ings in Philadelphia, now being held.
Friends of organic union Of the
bodies insist that the plan unan1-
mously adopted by the assembly ms
morning is decisively victorious Tor
them, While those opposing organic
union are equally insistent that the
plan proposed means no more IMAM
a mere federation, that relations be-
tween the two bodies will be closer,
but IndC the SISC VI CilO W.
bodies into a single denomination
will not have been brought about,
It is proposed in the plan that the
United assembly which snail be
formed from those Presbyterian
churches coming into the agreement
sembly of the Presbyterian and Re
formed churches in the United States
of America and shall represent in the
body all the churches uniting in the
union, this united assembly to be the
declarative, executive, administrative
and judicial agency Of the United
The united assembly shall consist
of eight representatives from each
of the constituent denominations
from each 100000 communicates or
fraction thereof up to 100000, and
more than 100000 communicates,
then eight representatives for each
additional 100000 communicates or
major fraction thereof shall be add
ed, the representative to- be minis
tiers of the gospel and ruling elders
in equal numbers, and shall be
chosen, together with their alter
mates, under the direction of their
respective churches and in such man
ner as their respective churches
The plan declares that every
church entering into this union shall
retain its distinct individuality, its
own creed and government and wor-
ship as we'll as every power, juris-
diction and right. By this clause OPP
ponents or organic union in south
ern assembly churches will be pro-
tected from losing their corporate
identity.
1t is understood and so stated in
the articles of agreement contained
in the plan that the Southern Pres
byterian church as an organization
must survive the proposed merger
that it, will retain its own cons.ti-
tutionaI functions as relating to it's
own synods, presbyteries and congre-
cations and that the united assem-
bly, shall have supervision of and
control over the larger matters APP
pertaining to their common work.
The principle for instance, of de-
nominational control in home mis-
sions as at present existent, shall be
continued and direct administration
shall be confined to the individual
constituent churches, only the gen
eral control of homes and foreign
missions coming within the survey
of the power of the united church.

One of the stores is exhibiting the
chicks in large shallow box.
In one corner of the box is a COM
mon feather buster. A shopper,
watching the antics of the little
chicks, was puzzled by the buster.
Then the shopper saw several of the
chicks snuggle UP under the feath-
ers of the buster. 'cheeping" con-
tendly.
"Oh, yes" smiles a salesgirl, "the
buster makes them feel at home and
provides everything except the

high cost of living has hit the poor
mans horse as we'll as the poor man
himself. 1t has sent skyWard the
price of oats as we'll as roast beef.
Seeing this, New York's Horse Aid
society decided to give the horse of
