MARIETTA BOYS
HAVE GREAT TRIP
Drive to California In Auto Using
Z Camping Outfit For Sleep
ling and Eating Purposes

The following news item from
the Los Angeles Examiner will be of
interest to Marietta, for all were in
terested in the cross-continent trip
of those popular young chaps, Rich
ard and Joe Marchman and George
Mitchell Morris. They left here ON
March a arriving at their destination
the last of the month, and this is a
good account of their trip.
The Marchman's are now making
their home in Los Angeles, and -Gseor-
ge Mitchell will remain out there for
some time, having a good position
with an automobile company.
California roads and highways
and the delightful climate Of South
ern California has gained another
strong boster in Richard Marchman,
of Marietta, Georgia, who just drove
across the continent via the southern
route through Louisiana, Texas and
over the Ell Paso route. Marchman
drove his Buick car. through the
swamps of the south and the sandy
desert roads of the southwest, and
came through without a particle of
trouble. He reported to the service
station of the Howard Automobile
Company to tell how wonderfully
well the Buick behaved under all
sorts of conditions.
Marchman kept close tab on the
gasoline and oil consumption and
states that his Buick only used 298
gallons of gasoline and burned up
35 quart of oil in the 2035 miles
Travelled. This proves how economical
a motorist can drive all over the
United States, through muddy,
swampy districts, desert roads, and
highway stretches. However, March
man says that here in California was
about the only place where he had
pavement to drive over. In other
sections where the roadway was good
it was dirt or gravel roadbed.
Hotels were given the overlook
by Marchman and his two COM
panions on the trip. Camping para
phernalia was carried on the running
board and every night wherever
there was comfortable and inviting
camping ground the three young men
stopped.
Although Marchman already has
driven the Buick 10000 miles, he
says it is still running as good as it
did when he first purchased it,"

COMMITTEES ASK
ROAD BOND ACT
Legislators Will Be Asked to Pass
Bill Creating a Bond
Commission.
PEOPLE ARE sAFEGUARDED
Government Will Have Part In
Selecting Highways to be Per-
manently Improved.

The chairman of the Cobb conn
ty commissioners, the clerk of the
commissioners, the county attorney.
the state senior Senator and one of
the representatives together with the
citizens committee appointed by the
commissioners to act with them in
forming plans for the county road
bond election, met at the court house
Wednesday afternoon at $3.50. and
went into further details concerning
the election which has been called
for May %.
The proposed bond election was
discussed from every angle and legal
technicalities, were cleared I'D and
observed SO that no hitch would like
ly occur after progress was made to-
ward the election.
1t seemed to be the unanimous
opinion of the men present that the
recommendation of the grand iury
should be followed as nearly as pos
sible.
In providing for the permanent
commission which was proposed to
work in conjunction with the county
commissioners in expanding the
funds, supervising the work, etc., the
county attorney together with the
state officials were requested to draw
up bill creating such commission
and specifying the duties of same.
The bill to be passed at the next
session of the Georgia legislature
which meets in June. 1t was propos-
ed IN providing this bill, that the
state representatives should agree in
writing to pass the measure in June
and the county commissioners should
pass resolution to act with the bond
commission in selling bonds, expend-
ing the funds, supervising the work
and other details concerning the
road improvement movement. When
the bill is drawn up a meeting Of
the commissioners, the citizens COM
mittee and other officials will be call
ed to take further steps preparatory
to the election in May. A few legal
points are yet undetermined, but
will be settled at the next joint
meeting, which will probably be call
ed within a few days.
The interest of the general public
will be safeguarded in every way in
regard to expanding the money and
promoting the work of improving the
roads. In the matter of designating
the roads to be improved the high
way commission is an assurance that
the proper roads will be improved.
The government meets the county
flfty-ffty in the amount to be spent
on the roads and will see that the
work is done in the proper highways.
Reports from different sections of
the county indicate that the people
are ready to vote for bonds and will
90 so practically unanimously when
The issue is presented to them in pro-
per shape.

OUR MEMORIAL DAY

Our Sleeping Heroes, For

In 1890, when General Lees

union held in the same dear old city
IN 1907, the controlling spirit came
IRON the men who themselves had
fought. But when men pass three
score years each succeeding decade
ueclmates with fearful ravages their
already thinned ranks. 1t is now
h1ty-six years since Appomattox,
anu IN that time a new generation
mas arisen. There are men today

slave in America, and who were

''iCutlonal secession has been for

INeSSionlsts have assumed a more or

LIBRARY A MEETING
PLACE FOR CITIZEN'S

The Clarke Library management
is pleased to note how many people
are now using the library as meet
ing place. This is one of the minor
uses Of library in a community.
AS meeting place a library is
ideal, for there are not only chairs
to rest in, but magazines to pass the
minutes which seem so long when one
is waiting.
We hope Marietta shoppers, NOV
ing picture patrons and all others
who wish to meet their friends in a
convenient place, will use the Clarke
Library for that purpose. Il
