PROTEST CHANGE OF
 COUNTY HIGHWAY
Change Proposed By State Highway Commission
 Brings Protests

Approximately 300 residents from Trussville and Chalkville composed g delegation appearing before the board of revenue at its meeting yesterday to discuss the proposed change In the route of the county highway be- tween Birmingham and Ashville.
 Change in the county seat to county seat trunk highway was recommend ed by S. R. Batson, former county highway engineer and member of the state highway commission. The chang was made by the commission so the road would go through Trussville in stead of through Huffman and Chalk ville.
 k. A letter from Charles Dew, local engineer to the state highway com mission was read in which he stated that the Trussville route was superior to the Chalkville route, both in mum : Der of persons and industries 1t serves and in the natural lay of the land.
 Attorney Borden Burr represented inc delegation from Chalkviile and Huffman. He contended that the board of revenue having judicially act ed and selected the old route or the strength of which he stated many per sons had purchased property, now has no right to make change in the ioute. A resolution which recited the selection of the original route and provided for the present board reaf- firming this route as recommenda- ton to the state highway commission was presented by Mr Burr.
 White Gibson representing the Trussville contigent asked that the resolution be tabled and the route as changed by the state highway com mission be allowed to stand in Sn fa - as any recommendation of the pres ent board is concerned
 This action was recently advocated by MT. Batson. No definite action was taken at this time owing to the ab- sence of D. c. Ball chairman of the board and the matter was deferred un- til next Friday.

Dr. Snave- ly paid a high compliment to Bayard Nj .Hedrick, director of the campaign, who had aided materially in making the work the success it had been.
 Thanks Extended
 Thanks were also extended the newspapers the workers and all oth- CTS who had aided in the work.
 As an indication that the Christian Education movement is meeting with successA all over the state, a telegram was read from R. 0. Noojin of Attalla, director of the campaign for the north Alabama conference in which he de- clared that eleven churches in the Roanoke district had gone over and all the others were still at work, de- spite the fact that Roanoke had suf- fered as much as any section from the depression.
 The Rev. s. o. Kimbrough wired that CuIlman had gone over the quota in two hours and was still working. Similar reports are coming from all parts of the state and indications now are that this conference will go well over the s1,000,000 mark in the cam-s paign for Christian education In ad- dition to the subscriptions from the general public for Birmingham Scuth- ern."

pr. Guy E. Snavely, chairman or the committee, thanked the workers and expressed confidence that the cam paign would result in the entire mil- lion being secured as there are still q large number of prospects to be heard from.
 While we lack about $100,0 900 os get ting the entire million, we are by nc means discouraged and feel confident of the success of our campaign" de- clared Dr. Snavely. Less than half the Methodist churches of the Bir- mingham district have completed their work and we are assured that all of them will go over before they stop work. Plans are now under way to finish the church canvass by Monday and this will add many thousand dol lars to our total.
 To Complete Prospects
 Then our team workers have many prospects who have requested a sec ond call before deciding upon the exact amount to be given. We prom ised our teams that the canvass would close on Friday and we have therefor e stopped the active soliciting, but the teams with unfinished work have agreed to complete their prospects dur ing the next few days.
 "A number of these who are eX- rected to make large donations have Teen out of the city for the past week Eut we have arranged to give them the opportunity to contribute when they return. We have had letters an, messages from some of them saying
