No community should be ashamed
to let it be known that it was clean
ing up. Let the campaign begin
with a program-the very best pro-
gram that can be arranged. There
is plenty Of local talent to produce
an excellent entertainment, and there
is always outside help available if
desired.
cleanup Week which begins May
1st is call for volunteers. The
people Of West Virginia can per-
form no more patriotic service than
to enlist for the campaign. More
than enough money is wasted in West
Virginia in needless fires every year
to pay the bonus justly due to every
West Virginia boy who served his
country at home or overseas. Patrio-
tism should be a permanent mental
pose-a Observation-Disclosures attitude
not spasmodic eruption.
No one would do it Intentionally,
but one can never tell. Eternal vigil
ance is the only way to safety. Let's
begin Cleanup Week.

common everyday horse sense tells
US should be done, but which in daily
practice are often neglected or entire

of pure selfishness, individual or
municipal pride Cleanup Week should
receive the enthusiastic endorsement
Of all.
Who will get behind the Cleanup
program and make it , positive fac
tor for municipal improvement? The
Commercial Club, the Industrial Club
no matter what the name given to
the business mems organization--is
generally looked to for the initiation
Of the campaign. As rule they will
De found willing, but they cannot
make success of the enterprise alone
They must have help. The city coun-
Gil or commissioners must get in the
game. The ladies' clubs should be
interested. The school and churches
and every 100 per cent American
must cooperate.
Cleanup Week is not a spread
eagle affair. There are no brass
bands to follow. Yet it is one of the
most important events Of the year.

GRAFTON HASA
DISASTROUS FIRE
Flames Render $4,000 Havoc on the
West Side of River-Twenty
Automobiles are Damaged
(From Grafton Sentinel)

From Grafton SentineD
Fire in the Standard Garage Com
pany building in West Grafton after
four o'clock this afternoon destroyed
property estimated at between $12,-
900 and $4,000 which included
damages to at least 20 of the 40 auto
mobiles stored in the garage. Ten
touring cars were completely des-
troyed. Estimates at 4:30 o'clock
when the fire had been nearly ex-
tinguished, were that thel oss to car
owners alone would be more than
$4,000.
The fire originated in the upper
part of the large department of the
garage where vulcanizing work is
done. The attice or upper part is
separated from the lower part where
car space is rented to individual own
ers, and the flames had gotten a
good start before they were discov-
cred. The roofing of the building
was said to be of inflamable tar
paper which caught ablaze almost in
simultaneously and before the fire de-
partment could be informed, had
swept the roof of the building and
held it in it's grasp. Before any ac-
ton could be taken, whatever, the
flames, famed by strong wind
spread to lower parts of the building
and caught the tops of automobiles
afire. This caused a spread of the
flames along a portion of the lower
part of the building and filled the
building 50 full of smoke that fire
men could not enter for some min
utes after they arrived with the fire
fighting equipment.

ARMED GUARDS
PROTECT MINES
Great Leisenring Plants Still Hold
Out From Union Onslaught
Organizers Still Busy

(Staff Correspondent of the Ralti-
more SUM.
Uniontown, Pa, April 12-Between
a complete tie-up of the local bitumin-
Gus mines and coke ovens and con-
tinuance of the flow of the stream
of coke to the Pittsburgh steel furn-
aces, there seemed to stand about 80
men today.
These 80 men are grim-looking
guards, each with his right hand laid
constantly in a suspiciously-bulging
overcoat pocket. They are thrown
around the three big Leisenring plants
just above here.
If that grim Gordon, maintained
night and day is pierced by union
organizers and if those organizers
draw the 1000 Leisenring workers
from the mines and the coke ovens
the stronghold Of non-unionism will
have fallen. Leisenring is the United
States Steel Corporations Verdun in
the strike in this region. They are
fighting to hold it, for they know
that if it falls, the non-union plants
above Connellsville and into West
moreland county almost will surely
go with it.
The vigilance of the guards at the
Leisenring plants to keep out the
union organizers was learned this
morning by the Baltimore Suns cor
respondent when he went out to the
mines and tried to pierce it. Two at
Attempts to get to the ovens, past the
shaft and up to the superintendent
office through two different avenues
failed. Guards were met behind the
hillsides, and before either the ovens
or shaft were in sight each time
Credentials, letters, persuasion, and
even the final appeal-a bald appeal
of a bribe-were unavailing. Every
body not known as mine official was
taken as union spy. Every credsn-
tial was, in the minds Of the guards,
forgery and every letter fraud.
Finally trying a. third method oof
approach to Leisenring No. 3, the
biggest of the three plants, the Sun
correspondent met two guards who
consented to let him into the plant
with, however, one of them at his
side all the way and with the right
hand still in the suspiciously bulg-
ing overcoat pocket.
1t is because the union organizers
concentrated on Leisenring all of yes
terday and today and, because SO
many of the men in the mines and
at the ovens north of Leisenring are
looking to the three big Frick plants
for signal, that the progress of the
strike has materially halted within
the last "a hours.
Superintendent r. J. Latten Of
Leisenring No. 8 made no secret Of
the reasons for the precautions when
, the Suns correspondent finally
reached him.
"If they can get in here in the
guise of insurance agents and ba-
mana peddlers they can get in, in the
guise of reporters" he said frankly
II don't know whether you're friend
or foe and there isn't anything you
can say that will tell me which you
are. You can't stay here. Our men
are working all right and they will
continue to work all right as long as
the union people don't come in here
and brighten them like they have done
/ in other plants. We're rot going to
let anybody in here to brighten our
men. That settles it. Good day"

SCHOOL NEWS


Barker district only will be given in
the Belington High School on Friday
and Saturday April the 21-22 begin
ming at nine o'clock in the morning
and closing at four o'clock in the
evening. This test win only be held
at Belington, as we have no way to
hold it at other places since the
schools have closed. This examinat-
ion is given to Barker district who
desire to take this test for the free
school diploma will please keep the
above date in mind. Pupils will fur
nish their paper and pens.
In the recent examination for cou-
pons Of credit which was given at
Belington and Philippi we had eight
applicants at Philippi and six at Be-
llngton. Some of these applicants
were passing for renewal. All
teachers who desire to renew their
certificates this year should make APP
plication at once, as it is desired by
the State Department to write these
certificates prior to June first.
Many teachers who desire four
units OF High School credit which
they must have this year in order to
be eligible for the first grade certifi-
cate, mlssed an excellent opportun-
ity last Saturday by not being pre-
sent for the examination on the High
school subjects which was given by
the state Department of Education,
Another examination along this line
will be given at Philippi only on the
ord OF June just after the Uniform
examination tor teachers certificates,
also the coupon OF credit examination
viii be repeated at that time.
Most OF our schools have now clos
ed, and report the best year since the
world War dlsorganized our system
One teacher called TOR IL perfect at
tendance certificates, all going to one
school. Many run from four to eight
IA perfect attendance.
In our travel through Cove district
we met one BOY in the MoatsvIIie
school, Emil Semmelman, who has
not missed day OF school for nine
years. He is IA years Of age and
hopes to receive his diploma thi:
year, and we think such faithfulness
should be well rewarded. In The
Kasson school in Cove district VIZ
have another boy who is making
the same record--Mr. George Coff
mans son who has not missed day
in school since he started six years
ago.
All the districts viii have ample
funds to run their schools the full
seven months Notwithstanding report
given out from some sources to the
contrary. We give below the distr
lets that receive State aid and The
amounts.
Barker S57S6, Gladt $3o68, Philip
S4665, Valley $3735, total for these
-FOUR districts received from the State
$l7.25400.
All the above money goes into tht
teachers fund of the county. A dis
trict receives State aid when the levy
OF 40 cents will not raise the amount
necessary to run the schools Of {
district for the required term. Th'
same would be true in the maintenn
ance fund if the Is cents levy would
not produce sufficient funds, but no

According to this system the veal

RESIDENCE DESTROYED
BY FIRE
Cody Lyon Suffers Loss of $1,000 in
Building and Furniture
Monday.

The residence of Cody Lyon on East
Second street was completely destroy
ed by fire Monday morning about 8
o'clock, causing loss of $1,000. Fur
niture valued at $500 was also des-
troyed. Insurance of $1,000 was
carried. The origin of the fire is
believed to have been defective nue,
or from sparks from the chimney, as
when the family was awakened by the
cracking of timbers the roof was a
mass of flames, but had not reached
below the ceiling. When the fire ap-
paratus arrived the house was beyond
saving and efforts were centered on
protecting the outbuildings and the
residence of F. M. Mingus, a next
door neighbor. Neighbors responded
when the alarm was given and some
of the household goods were removed.
The family have moved into one of
the outbuildings on the premises. Mr..
Lyon states that he is planning to re-
build as soon as the loss is adjusted
by the insurance companies.
