ROAD PLANS. MADE.

In a conference of Jefferson and
Berkeley County officials in the
County Court room here Tuesday
evening plans were outlined for the
two counties to work in harmony in
road improvement work under the
new road law. Representing Berkeley
county in the conference were COM
missioners Jacob Hesse, ]. w. Holli-
da and Allmon w. Smith of the
County Court; President c. j. Faux
ner; Secretary w. H. Pfau and B. A.
Poland, representing the Martinsburg
Chamber of Commerce. Jefferson's
representatives were President N. R.
Roberts, of the County Court, and
Commissioners Moore, Shut, and
Knott.
All parties to the conference
agreed to the designation of the Lee
town road, the Kearneysville pike,
and the county road that intersects
with the latter pike south of Kear-
neysville as the proper route for the
proposed new highway between
Charles Town and Martinsburg. The
principal merit of this route is that
it will avoid grade crossings of the
main line OF tne bdlIlHnOTc anu OnlO
Railroad. From the Berkeley county
line, the designated route will follow
the present county road to the vicini-
ty of Vanmeter's school house where
four or five sharp curves will have to
be eliminated. From there the new
road will coincide with the present
county road practically all the way
to Martinsburg, crossing the Opequon
on the iron bridge at Riley's ford.
Both courts expressed a desire to
work in hearty cooperation in OBJ
tanning for the Eastern Panhandle its
share of state funds and the senti-
ment of the two bodies will be carried
to the state highway commission in
a formal resolution to be drawn up
by the Martinsburg Chamber of Com
merce, and signed by both courts.
A strict construction of the amend
ment authorizing the bond issue for
roads will certainly deprive both JEFF
ferson and Berkeley of fair proper
ton of the proceeds of the bonds, and
the cooperation of the Eastern Pan
handle counties will be required to
prevent the injustice of the amend
ment from working a disastrous hard
ship on this section of the state.

CHARLES TOWN HOUSEKEEP.
ERS' ALLIANCE PETITIONS THE
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
FOR LOWER GAS RATES.

The following letter has been adj
dressed to the Public Service Com
mission:
To the Public Service Commission
of West Virginia,
Charles Town, w. Va.
Gentlemen.-We understand that
it is necessary for US to lodge pro-
test with your honorable body prior
to 18th, inst, unless we are willing
to acquiesce in the exorbitant and
prohibitory price-three dollars pei
thousand feet-that you have tempo
rarily allowed the local Gas Company
to charge the citizens of this town.
The Manager of the Company, Mr..
Leon Ware, has met with us and ex-
planned the Company's position from
its viewpoint. He has acted most
courteously throughout our confer
ences. - -.
But, we maintain that if you grant
ed the Company's request for an in
crease last year on it's plea that coal,
oil and labor were abnormally high.
and if all have fallen materially dur
ing the past few months-in common
justice-the rates should at least be
put back to the point from which you
permitted them to be increased
We take it that, as result of your
investigation last year, you have
knowledge of the value of the plant
and of the amount it should earn to
pay fair return to its owners, if not
over capitalized, or loaded down with
big fixed charges, and that you have
also the data as to costs of material
and labor here-so that it would not
take long to render decision.
We will esteem it favor if. in &C.
know,edging receipt of this commlni-
cation, you will indicate when we
may expect relief, as during the sum-
mer months gas ranges are put in
use. At present consumers are sub
shutting oil ranges in an effort to
keep fuel costs within reasonable
bounds.
Very respectfully youls,
The Housekeepers' Alliance of
Charles Town, w. Va.
ELLEN F. CAMPBELL,
President.

BOY SCOUT EXTENSION.

Boy Scout week, Oct. 1922, will be
appropriately introduced by Satur-
day evening tOrch-light parade that
will prove to be decided feature. The
folks who spend the evening uptown
after O'Clock p. m, will be both in
terested and entertained.
Scout speakers appeared ut the
churches last Sunday, preparing the
congregations for Scout Sunday, Oct
IL. when the pastors will select topics
appropriate for the occasion and at
which services Scouts in uniform will
act as ushers and give demonstrations
of Scouting activities.
Saturday afternoon n model camp
will be pitched ut the Civic Center
and thruout the following week Scouts
will acquaint all who are interested
with the mysteries, SORROWS and joys
of camping.
Band concerts and demonstrations at
/ Civic Center and Auditorium, stores
and street corners, Scout guides, and
between the acts demonstrations at
the theatres will be features of inter
est during the entire week.
The biggest Scout parade in the his
tory of Denver will leave the East Side
High at 10 n. m, Thursday, with the
worlds champion Boy Scout band lead
ing the procession. Floats with model
camps. wireless stations, first aid
CORPS, fire wagons with Scouts as fire
men, bicycle brigades, etc, will be
some of the many striking examples
of Scout initiative.
Why a Boy Scout week? With 2,3oo
Scouts out of possible six or seven
thousand, is it not necessary that
Scouting with 'its program that
works" he extended? The publicity of
Boy Scout week will serve to interest
the public, and men in particular, to
give leadership to this extension pro
gram. Incidentally, the Scout budget
for 1922 will be assured when 2,oOO
men invest in future manhood TO the
extent of one-half of II carfare per day.
These investment memberships ranging
from 50 up, ii so investment being
known as Il supporting membership.
The Morrison and Allen orchestras
will be active during the week, rem
dering concerts on street Intersections
accompanied by Scouts giving demon
strations. This is Il splendid example
of adult cooperation.

DENVER ON HONOR ROLL.

The Branch Bulletin, n monthly
periodical published by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, and meant to keep an
accurate record of Branch activities,
gives a list of those Branches in its
October number that went over the top
in its membership drive last spring.
High in the lists stands Denver, our
own dear city that has always shown
n commendable spirit in any fight for
the race.
Denver, upon the honor roll, is the
same city that pave TO Miss Mary
White Ovington the greatest ovation
accorded her in any of the many cities
she visited in her cross the country
tour last year, an ovation that has
caused her to praise Denver wherever
she goes. There are only twenty-seven
cities in the United States that went
over the top and our own Denver is
third on the list.

BUBBLING over with enthusiasm
and greatly benefited by the brief res
pite from his duties, Secretary Thomas
j. Bell blew into town last Saturday
morning, the Sth, after an absence of
nearly four weeks, which was spent
in vacation trip to New York and
the South. In his absence the work
was conducted by Secretary Townsend.
MIR. Bell declares that it was the pleas
ATTEST vacation he has had for several
years. He comes back to enter active
ly upon the tasks laid down when he
went away. He has fully recovered
from his illness of six weeks ago.
The fall work was officially opened
by the meeting which was held at

gram was under the auspices of the
Mount Pleasant, Redeemer and Pres
byterian churches, but only the Pres
byterian church was represented. y

a piano selection which was greatly
enioyed and appreciated by the audi
ence. Secretary Bell outlined the pro-
gram of the Y. NJ c. n. for the fall
term.
The "Hi-Y" club held their first re-
ception at the rooms of the Y. w. c. A.

ments were served. Twenty high
school boys were present, and many
members of the boys work committee.

pear. The meeting will be held at the

A LOSS TO JOURNALISM.

william Il. McClelland, advertising
manager for The Times and News,
yielded To the visitation of the grim
monster last Sunday, after AN Illness
of less than week. Pneumonia was
the direct cause of his death. The
newspaper world Is infinitely poorer
today because of his untimely death.
He was one of those rare characters
In life whom to know was to love. He
everlnstlngly frowned upon the shams
and hypocricies of life and was the
very exemplification of what the world
loves to designate IA square shooter.
lie ever held a sacred regard for the
higher ethics Of his profession and
tennciously fought for clean methods
In advertising. The co l. q X a ID q
STATESMAN possessed no better
friend than William l.. McClelland. We
never approached him without being
given the utmost consideration. We
never left him without feeling I'M
measurably better for the contact His
greeting was always a smile of un-
usual radiance, his parting a hand
shake of indescribable warmth. The
Times and News may well feel MS
loss. To them it will be something
more than an empty chair, an employe
gone. 1t will mean broken link in a
chain that had drawn hundreds to
them thru manly service and an un-
swerving devotion to principle that
gave to William Il. McClelland niche
in the hall of journalism that will be
hard to fill. We mourn his loss and
extend our earnest sympathies to those
who survive him.
