North Highway

T am glad to see that the county is at work on the famous North Birming- ham highway, which has come in for so much criticism of late" said Thornton Estes. for it was really in a most de- plorable state. It bucked and did all kinds of queer things. Holeswerepleu- tiful and ridges in abundance. It's a shining example that it's folly. to lay in topping material on an3 insufficient base. The patches being made will no doubt outWear the original pavement, as they have been cut through to a suf- ficient depth and packed withenaterial to hold the top coa ting.

Mrs Avery Joseph. president of the Sisterhood of Temple Enanu-El. made d happy hut brief response when called upon by Chairman Joseph. pr. George Eaves. with gratitude. spoke of the help that Dr. Newfield had been to him in his work, and thanked the congregation for their gifts to the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso- citation. Dr. T. D. Park told of years of intimacy in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Newfield as their family physician. Dr. sC B.. Glenn briefly paid his mead of praise to the distinguished couple.
 ltfell to the lot of Ben Leader to rep resent the congregation of Temple t,manu-El and he did it eloooentiy and la nd somely. The time arrived for Dr. Newfield to make response to the many Kind things whieh had been said about thina and his wife. He was overcome for the moment, but rallying himself he glowed at the thought of the answering kdev otion which had been his at the hands of the congregation. His words were from the heart and echoed in the hearts of his people.
 haen't the space here for an eulogy ! of Dr. Newfield, and what's. more he
 does not need it at my hands. for with
 his own he has builded for himself
 lasting monument in the hearts not only
 of the Jewish. but the Gentle people of
 this great community by a quarter of a century devoted to the upiift and the
 upbuiiding of every worthy cause which
 lhas come before the people. With thou
 sands felicitate him on his long and
