OF CHINA
DESCRIBED IN TALK
by. NJ. c. A. WORKER

Describing the huge resources and
latent powers of China, T. M. Elliott.
International Y. NJ. c. A. worker, who
has spent IA years in China in ad-
dressing the Kiwanis club at noon
Thursday asked:
Whose ideals do you want to DOM
mate in China? Shall you let other
countries mold her into a great mill
tary machine, or will you send Y. M
c. A. workers, doctors, missionaries
and business men to the country to
encourage China to follow American
ideals?
You think about her as being weak.
She is woefully weak. That is the
only crime of China in the eyes of
the world; that she has no efficient
army or navy. Why is she so far be-
hind the times? Because she has been
looking backward to the ways and
customs of her fore-fathers. Her great
natural resources. composed of iron,
coal and salt, have not been unearthed
because she has been superstitious
about disturbing the spirits of the
buried dead
Language is Widespread
Mr.. Elliott said every fourth man
in the world can speak Chinese. This
is true, he explained, because of the
large population of China. He ad
vised courses of study on Oriental
history and the teaching of the Chin.
csc and Japanese languages. He said
that all over China, the name of Lin
! coin was household word.
81 think, Mr.. President and chair
man, that there could be nothing bet
ter than the Kiwanis clubs of this
country going together for the pur-
! pose of creating a truer understand
: ing and feeling between this country
and China"

WORKS BOARD PASSES
ROAD Resolution
DESPITE OPPOSITION

Opposition to the filing Of the gulch
into which the national road leads at
Southwest First street, failed to deter
the board of works from confirming
the original resolution without modl-
fications Thursday morning. 1t is
planned to make the fill level with
Southwest First street, opening the
street both north and south, and lead
ing onto the Main street bridge.
Esther Griffin White presented a
petition signed by officers of the Re-
publican Women's organization Of the
city, protesting against the proposed
improvement Gath Freeman, speak
ing against confirmation of the resolu-
ton, said that both the Wayne coun-
ty and the state historical societies
were opposed to the move.
Dell Davis. city engineer. said that
the gulch as it stands, is an eye-sore
to the city, and that trash was dump
ed there, as in other remote and unim-
proved sections of the city.
Verbal Sparrins.
Mr.. Reltz, of the board, said, 81
think if the demonstrators would see
our plans for the Improvement, which
are in the engineers office, they would
not object"
"Mr. Peltz, saw those plans year
ago." said Miss White.
Several residents of West Richmond
! spoke in favor of filing the gulch, as
did Mayor Zimmerman. Upon motion
by John Peltz, the resolution was
adopted as originally presented
Following the meeting, Miss White
said:
I'VE will still continue to fight the
closing of the National road. The
action of the board OF works was in
line with its usual policy. The argu
ments of City Engineer Davis were
labored and amusing. Naturally some
members of the board of works would
agents to close up the National road
Attacks Arguments
THE argument that South West
First street cannot be opened unless
the road is closed is fallacious, vas the
street could be made to curve around
| instead of going in a straight line. Ar
1
sore because used as a dump, was q
sad commentary on the inability o.
the present city administration to en-
force local ordinances According t
City Engineer Davis, the city is com
pletely at the mercy Of men dumping
trash. Statements made indicate tina
the board is wholly unable to proven
throwing of trash in any place. Fhi!
was one of the heavyweight argument!
used by the city engineer in his re
marks opposing the petition to keel
the National road open. II the cit!
hasn't enough good sense, to put 1
mildly, to see the point being mad
in trying to keep the National roat
! open at this point, namely, to preserv,
the roads scenic beauty and historic
traditions, they have no business tt
be in office. In other words, the cit,
is in the hands Of barbarians and rea
estate dealers. But we intend to con
tinue the fight"
Attorney Freeman is to draw up an,
present remonstrance within 1
days, allowed by law according t.
Miss White.
