For Good of
 the Community

NHE year 1920 was record one in many respects and the summary of achievement is satisfying. But the years that punctuate the destiny of the Bir- mingham district leave no gap in the con tinuity of progress.
 Some of the things that are on the map of 1921 are these:
 Early completion of the pressed steel car plant of the Chickasaw company at Fairfield. This means 25 new freight cars per diem add to the transportation facilities of the district and increasing the terminal and distribution advantages which, as they grow, compel the location here of industries of large calibre.
 Lehigh Portland Cement company is ready to build it's 1,000,0 0,000-barrel plant at Tarrant City.
 The Continental Gin company, one of Birminghams most successful enter prises is building a larger and more mod ern factory with more than the combined capacity of the two already here.
 American Cement Tile company, obey ing the law of compulsion, is building plant in Birmingham for the southern and export trade. This large Pittsburg con-
 
 quitur of strategic position for distribu- tion of product.
 Fairfield mills are to fabricate shapes for seven more of the ocean freighters be- ing built of Alabama steel at Mobile for the carrying of Alabama products over the world The seventh product of the Chickasaw yards, the Bessemer City, will be New Years gift, being very near the launching point.
 Work began in December on the 120000 horsepower hydroelectric dam at Duncan s rifle on the Coosa. This big enterprise will gather proportions with each month of the year, and, if all goes we'll, will be half way to conclusion when the clock strikes 1922.
 Material is on the ground and machin- cry ordered for the installation of the 10000 horsepower unit at Lock 12.
 This year will witness completion of the transmission line connecting the water powers of Alabama with those of Georgia and the Carolinas, so that peak loads may thereafter be supplied in any portion of these states as desired at, the time needed.
 Muscle Shoals is in debate as to future appropriations, but much work to be done there laps over from 1920 and will be done anyhow. Alabamians will not be- lieve that there is enough blind stiff neckedness in this country to estop this work long.
 The Warrior river is about to get the remainder of her new craft, realizing the last dollar of the $3,000,0 expended on river equipment.
 Mobile coal terminals arc to be built this year They will be in operation be- fore1 921 is half gone. The coal ter minals at Cordova are also to be built in the near future
 This year will witness completion of the elevation of the minimum stage of the Warrior from six to eight feet, enab- ling ocean-going barges to come up stream and take on cargo at river banks. The beautiful $1, ,OOOO marble post office is to be an early realization of 192I
 High schools at Woodlawn and in the city, their foundation laid, will be 1921 present to the children of Birmingham.

It was impossible for anybody outside that port to get into 1t after the arrival of the D'An- nunzio soldiers. Impossible to all save a news cameraulan of Sozio's resourcefulness He speaks Italian as fuently as he does English, French and German, and, disguised as railroad worker, he rode into the occupied territory in the cabin of one of D'Annunzio's supply trains, and got the only pictures of an event which startled the whole world.
 Al Wetzel became news camera man after long experience on pro- ductions. His two years in news work have been devoted mostly to aerial photography. He has had more hours in the air than any of his colleagues in camera work. The latest "stunt" to his credit were the pictures of the Man O.

By some wonder-working peculiar to the news cameraman. Coolidge reached the dock in time to take views of the arrival of President Wilson at the Brest landing. He will not divulge how it was done. but he has All kinds of praise for a little boat which in chase from the des- troyer to the shore outstripped a number of patrol boats of the French fleet And he adds that ''it furnished little excitement to re- lieve the ennui of the trip across the ocean"
 coolidge took pictures of the Le- high Valley, the tug which was tow ing two coal barges when attacked by a German submarine off Nausett Light on the Massachusetts coast in September, 1918. The tug was in flames and Coolidge got pictures of it from the deck of hsherman's craft, while aeroplanes darted about overhead and all present were on the alert in anticipation of another at- tack from the unseen enemy.
 s. R. Sozio has spent the greater part of the past two years in Eur ope, where he organized the presen, staff of Pathe News. His last as- signment in Europe was the filming of the Olympic games. He was the only photographer aboard the Prin- cess Matoika on her trip across with the American team.r Sozio is an ex. pert on shipping problems. It would doubtless interest the leading inter. national shipping experts to know how Sozio shipped scenes of tn, German revolution on a liner whicl sailed from Liverpool two days aftel he received the film, five boxes of it in Paris. Ordinarily, the Englisi customs hold up the films two days and the French longer than that l Sozio carried the film himself iron
