when the Goodyear company an.
nounced some fifteen months that a
pig plant woud be erected In Los An
gees to accommodate the heavy de-
mand for Its products In tho western
states. there was much speculation
amnog manufacturers in MI lines con-
cerning labor productivity. The pre-
diction was freely made that tire out
put would suffer through lack OF ex-
pcrienced labor.
But the lack OF experienced fire and
tube buildrs was overcome by assign

OF these experts an army Of $500
workers has been trained In ali the

Instead of finding labor indolent or
lacking in pep the Goodyear COM
pany is finding that the western cli-
mate inspires wprkmen to greater ef-
fort. The ease and speed with which
these workers have swung into their
stride have been revelation to the
trained force brought out as tutors.
Foremen in every department of
the great plant are unanimous in the
declaration that never before in their
long experience as overseers of tire
building operations have they seen

WEEKLY MEETINGS FOR
HAYNES WORKERS HELD

with joint meeting recently of all
Haynes executives. department heads,
and factory foremen. The Haynes
automobile Company launched forth
on its newly instituted policy of weekly
meetings of all elements that enter into
the makeup of the Haynes factory or
sanitation. The purpose of these
meetings, according to Alton G.. Sober
7 iing, Vice President and General Man
ager of the company. is two-fold. One
purpose is to install greater spirit of
cooperation between the various de-
partments and also between the execu-
tiNes and the foremen. The second
purpose is to enhance and further the
principle of true democracy that is SO
essential TO the success and harmony
OF an institution like the Haynes.
We want our different factory fore
men to know the executives and Off
ciais of the Haynes company" said Mr..
Sefberling, because it is our earnest
desire 70 have spirit of friendship |
and cooperation prevail throughout |
the entire plant. When an executive
gets to know the foreman, to under
stand their problems andthe;r difficult
ties, and when the foreman, in turn,
get the viewpoint Of the executives
then this spirit is more apt to exist.
The various members of our factory
organization must come in contact
With each other: they must converse;
hey must talk and discuss factory
problems frankly and openly: they
must learn to rub elbows with each

MRS. BlR1lE (BEARD) CLARK.

Once more death has invaded
our little valley and thrown the
Sable folds of his mantle of gloom
over the entire community.
After an illness of two weeks of
influenza-pneumonia and jaundice,
Mrs. Birtie Clark, wife of q. Lynn
Clark, Of Nicola, w. Va. died at her
home on March 2, 1920. Born at

fore III years and % days of age.
Deceased had been faithful and
consistent Christian and member
Of the Methodist Church, South, for
many years, being teacher of the
Adult Bible Class in the Sunday
School at the time of her death.
The village Of Ncola and sur
rounding country will feel kccnly
the loss Of this good woman. Not
only can it be said of her that she
was Il devoted wife and mother in
dllc home, but that she was a most
loving and generous neighbor as
well, thoughtful and conSideratc
as to the welfare Of all with whom
she came in contact. Aside from
these facts she was a useful servant
of the public, being at the time of
her death Postnristress at Neola,
which position she held for some
years past.
She is survived by her, husband
and one daughter, Marie, -four broth
ers-Nlonroe, Leslie and Irb Beard,
of Arbovale, w. Va, Brown Beard,
OF Barlow, w. Va. and four sisters
Mrs. Don Harper and Mrs. w. NJ.
Snedegar, of Elkins, Mrs. Mack Keer
and Mrs. Walter Arbogast, of Arbo-
vale. Her father and mother-Mr.
and Mrs. J. o. Beard. of Arbovalc,
also survive her.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home by her pastor, Rev. w.
B. Reynolds, after which the re-
mains were conveyed to the GENET
cry at Old Watts Chapel, where,
after the burial ceremony was
read in the presence of Il host Of
friends and neighbors, she was laid
away amidst profuSion of beauti-
full flowers Of which, in life, she
had been so fond, 10 await the
glorious resurrection morning.
May the Nhnllowed memory of this
useful life that has gone out over
shadow the lives of the dear ,ones
left lonely here, and may they look
forward to that glad time when
they may joyfully meet her again
where grief and sorrow, pain nor
death are felt and feared no more.

an IMPRESSION.
Contributed.


On the night Of Monday. March
i22, 1920, saw in the northern sky
the most wonderful and beautiful,
tthe most impressive and awe in
tspiring demonstration of Il natural
phenomenon it has ever been my
good fortune to witness. Perhaps
Ia first sight Of the starlit heavens
[smight compare with it in wonder
and beauty. Possibly 4 first view
of a sunlit earth might vie with it
III mighty charm. know Of moth
ing else with which to compare
iIit./
AT a few minutes before ten o.
clock some Of those with whom
was walking called attention to a
greenish hazy light in the sky,
shining above dark cloud which
hung along the northern horizon.
Within a short space of time. less
than that required to walk the
length of block, there began "A
most varied and beautiful display
iof Aurora Borealis. Broad shafts
of light, shot up from the northern
horizon, many of them reaching
quite to the zenith, swept across the
heavens as though mighty search
lights, Lit with an iniiniiy of candle
power, searched among the stars.
Ranks of these columns, in alter
nate glow and dissolution moved
| from west to east with the effect Of
ia mighty snowstorm marching
across distant landscape. AT
times there were broad cathedral
shaped areas of luminosity with in
Vulnerable turrets, and with the
central spires reaching overhead.
And then mighty waves of Il light
which was at the same time bril-
liant and shimimcring and elusive
rippled from the horizon to the
zenith in succession beyond the
swiftness of the eye to follow or to
count. Again there were broad
flashes as of sheet lightning. The
most sustained and enduring feature
of the display was the appearance
of great bars of detached light ar
ranged above the zenith, interscct-
ing one another so as to form Il
fairly symmetrical polygon Through
|sOut The demonstration the entire
Fhortllern- half of. the sky glowed
with strong though hazy light,
white for the greater part. but
shading to purplish pink in the
northwest. The degree of illumi-
nation due to this steady glow,
combined with that Of 1.-The half
moon then shining, appeared to be
about equal to that of full moon.
The brilliant display endured for
somewhat less than half an hour,
when it faded and disappeared
leaving distant afterglow.
The Heavens declare the Glory
of God and the firmanent showcth
His handiwork.

SHOCKING SUICIDE.

The Frankford, community was
greatly shocked on the 9th ult.,
when it was learned that the body
of Rease J. Fuller had been found
that day hanging by the neck to
the limb of an apple tree near the
house under circumstances which
satisfied all that his death was an
act Of suicide. Mr.. Fuller had been
in bad health for six months. He
got up that morning feeling badly
and committed the rash act while
out feeding his stock. Observing
that he had been absent longer than
usual his daughter went out in
search of him and was Mortified in
finding his lifelcss body hanging
from the apple tree.
Late the same afternoon his son
found two broken ropes hanging
in the barn, and the bruises on his
fathers face and the blood on his
hands, suggested that he had made
two futile attempts before success
fully taking his own life.
A coroner's jury summoned by
Squire Boothe, after investigation
returned verdict of suicide. De-
ceased was about 46 years old and
leaves his wife, nine children, his
father and mother, six brothers and
five sisters. Burial in Mt. Vernon
