M0NTEVALLO COLLEGE

Montevallo, November 23.-(Spe
cial. None of us amounts to any
thing In comparison with the sun,
declared DR.. A. M. Harding, profess
sor of astronomy at the University
of Arkansas, who delivered a lecture
on astronomy before the students of
Alabama Technical Institute and Col
lege for Women Tuesday night. He
backed up his statements by such
Illustrations as the following: If the
earth were put in the center of the
suns shell. our moon could revolve
around it and another moon twice as
far away as our moon, all within the
sun. DIR. Hardings lecture was dou-
bly, interesting on account of the
slides shown throughout his talk.
This was his fourth visit to the col
lege.
DR.. Harding also told of a recently
measured star, BetelgeuZe, in the
constellation Orion. in the shell OF
which could revolve not only our
little earth, but half of the solar
center of Betelgeuze.
He hooted at the theory OF COM
municating by airplane with other
planets because of the illimitable
time required for the trips, saying
it would take 125 years to reach
Venus. going at the rate of 100 miles
an hour, and an equally long time to
return.
The first of his talk explained how
the names of the planets were de-
! rived from those of Greek and Ro-
| man gods and how present theories
about the solar system differed from
those held by the ancients.
Joint owners in SPAIN a one-aci
play by Alice Brown, was presented
by members of class in play pro-
duction at Alabama Technical Insti
tute and College for Women Tues

COOPERATION Of Citizens
Will Make Tourist Park
Certainty for Sank Centre

Sank Centre will have tourist
park just as soon as the ground can
be put in shape.
Herald readers will recall that a
committee from the recently organic
ed Sank Centre Country Club called
on the city council a short time ago
and endeavored to sell them ground
on the north side Of the river for a
tourist park. The city's budget for
the year has been made up and funds
were not available for this purpose.
The Country Club members are
vitality interested in the development
of the community and at meeting
Monday evening it was decided to
set aside sufficient ground of their
holdings for a tourist park and they
will get the land in shape by holding
a working bee all day Tuesday of
next week, May 81.
The following general committee
have been appointed by the club to
make arrangements for this cleanup
of the property:
H. S. Halverson, w. A. Moore,
Mayor A. L. Ingram, DIR. A. F. Moy-
nihan, Sherman Strong, V. L. Bur-
CESS and Asa NJ. Wallace.
The work will be divided into sew
eral departments with the following
heads: Brushing, e. A. Richards:
Camp ground, L. w. Gingery; road
ways, Geo. Rice; golf links, Charles
Harrison.
While 100 of the citizens Of Sank
Centre are affiliated with the Country
Club, in view of the fact that the
tourist park if for the development
of the community as a whole the
general committee hope that every
available man and team in Sank Cen
tire and vicinity will contribute a
days work to this very important
movement. Nothing will give Sank
Centre more favorable advertising
than park where tourists can stop
for an indefinite time enroute. The
tourist business is yet in its infancy
and Sank Centre with the natural
facilities with which she is blessed
can corral lot of this by concert

SIVE PLANS FOR BEAUTIFY-
ING CITY AND VICINITY
HANDSOME DRIVE PROBABLE
CONSISTENT EFFORT TO MAKE
THIS TOWN A CITY
BEAUTIFUL"

A meeting of the stockholders in
the Sank Centre Country Club was
held in the gymnasium of the high
school Monday evening. A drawing
of the grounds was exhibited which
set forth the plating of the ground
owned by the club as proposed by the
Board of Directors and executed by
Mr.. Bonner in preliminary survey.
The plating met with the approval
of those present, in the main, and
Mr.. Bonner was instructed to make
a few changes and su'nnit another
| drawing later.
The proposition of the ''"
! Park" was also discussed. 1t was
decided that the Country Club would
go ahead with the work, as it is con-
sidered very important to the well
fare of the community. The Mayors
proclamation on the first page of this
issue of The Herald, together with
the story relative to the general
cleanup, explains this matter fully.

grounds will be very fine addition
to Sank Centres present parks and
natural camping grounds because it
will include drive around the lake
shore and an improver camping
ground in the city limits. The pre-
sent plan is to lay out lots along the
lake shore. These lots will be about
66x160 feet, with GO foot frontage on
the lake shore. The road and driveway
will follow the lake shore SO that one
end of each lot will be on the lake
shore and the other end on Sank
Centres .Lakeshore Drive"
Another idea that was brought out
and favorably received, was the lay
ing out of 18 city lots along Main
street. There is already some de-
mand for these lots and they should
all find ready sale, as the city
water mains and sewer system
run right up to the south lot at pre-
sent.

and DR.. A.. F. Moynihan were allotted
that portion south of Third street
and eastsof Main; H. S. Halverson

The assistance Of as many farmers
and their teams in this community

of the community, farmers and all,

for picnics or outings.
At least four hundred men and

confidently expects that the citizens
will be only too willing to donate a
days labor to this splendid cause.
In order to give the, business men
an opportunity to take part in this
movement. it has been suggested that

SECRETARY FRANK LEE OF ST.
CLOUD CLUB MAKES AN IN
TERESTING TALK

About fifty of Sank Centres bust
ness and professional men gathered
| at the Fairy Lake resort Thursday
evening of last week to enjoy the
second 'get-to-gether dinner served
under Commercial Club auspices.
! Mine host Zimmerman had prepar-
ed most substantial feed which was
greatly enjoyed by those present.
Following the dinner President Par
ker announced that Frank Lee, sec
rotary of the st. Cloud Commercial
Club, and former Sank Centre man,
was present as a special guest of the
local club and asked Mr.. Lee to tell
Sank Centreites Of some of the
things accomplished by the CONNER
cial organization of the Granite City.
After felicitating Sank Centre up
on its live commercial organization,
Mr.. Lee complimented this commits
sioner district upon the calibre of
their county commissioner. He said
, that F. G. Bergman was generally
recognized in ST. Cloud as one of the
strong men in the county and a
staunch friend of better highways
Mr.. Lee stated that the club main
tanned an information bureau for
tourists and that it was their inten-
tion to route every tourist possible
through Sank Centre rather than
over the Jefferson highway. This
plan, he said, had the hearty indorse-
ment of the officers of the st. Cloud
club. The speaker said it was inn
possible for the officers of the club
to do all the work in a community.
They had secured the best results by
having Is live committees, composed
of about rs Of the clubs membership.
The big duty of the officials was to
see to it that the committees were
properly functioning. st. Cloud is
going extensively into the tourist
park plan.
M. w. Lee who has had much ex-
perience travelling about the country
with an auto, urged Sank Centre to
take up the tourist park He said
that Minnesota was destined to be
the summer playground of the
United States and that this city
should have her share of the tourist
business. The cities of the west
make much of the tourist plan; of
ten times so many cars were parked
for the night that it was impossible
for all those to secure Accommodations
who desire it. He said that general

DO YOUR CIVIC DUTY

No spot in Minnesota has so
many natural advantages to
attract the summer vacationist
as Sank Centre and immediate
vicinity.
A tourist park is badly need
ed and the Sank Centre Coun-
try Club have generously turn
ed over to the city a sufficient
tract of ground for this pur-
pose, and it is up to the citizens
to see that the ground is put
in shape to accommodate the
traveller who desires to tarry
with us.
1t has been proposed that
Tuesday, May 81, 1921, be set
aside as a time for clearing
up of this ground for this pur-
pose, and as mayor of the city
of Sank Centre, / urge upon
every citizen to realize the inn
portance of this moment suf-
ficiently to give a days labor

Our efforts will be repaid
many fold not only in the joy
of identifying our city but in
the favorable publicity which
Sank Centre will receive from
the lips of every tourist tarry-
ing within our gates.
The ladies are urged to CO.
operate in this movement to
the extent of providing and
serving a midday meal for the
