E. German Ridgely, OF
Downham and Ridgely

Says he Thinks That Cooperation,
Appearances and Recreation are
Essential Factors

In discussing the proposed nm
provements for Alexandria with the
Gazette's reporter, +. German a
Ridgely, of the firm of bowman q
,Ridgely finds it hard to draw the me .i
between the most important ana the
least important of the proposed
improvements because they are all
important and none is to be rlght1ul!y
set aside for another. He says that
in his opinion
First of all in the line OF import
ant improvements will be to get the
citizens to work with a better spirit
of cooperation and in more per1ect.
unison for the civic betterment OF
the CITY. We can never accomplish
the things we should accomplish with
out the whole hearted cooperation OF
the entire body of the people. no
thing can ever be accomplished with
one pulling one way and another III
another direction. We must pull to-
pether for a Greater Alexandria II
we wish to gain ground.
when the new form Of government
goes into effect we must all stano
behind our representatives and give
the new government our undivided
support. 1t has been said that, "a
house divided against itself cannot
stand and our house of the new
government must stand, therefore
our support of it must be undivided.
POSSIBLY our proposed new school
building will give to the city the
quickest returns. 1t will better the
conditions in more homes and quicker
han any of the other proposed i'm
provements. our children must be
housed in comfortable quarters and at
present, as we all know, the housing
facilities of our schools are made
quate.
"The proposed improvements OF
the grounds around the High School
and around Washington School are
far more important than many Of our
citizens suppose. 1t is to be remem'
bered that city is known by its
schools. Well kept schools and we'll
kept school grounds is one of the best
of advertisements for city. And
as also is known if the outside is al
lowed to form his opinion of our city
from the way its school grounds are
kept at the present time his opinion
would not flatter us in the least.
"Then the public recreation park is
another thing that would be a great
asset to our city; a place where the
grown up could go to rest and to play
after hard day at his place of
business. Play is an essential in the
life of man as it is in the bringing
up of child. Beside this, park
would be place where man could
meet man-not as in business life
and discuss the present and the past
and the future of the city in way
business conventionalities could never
allow.
ayes if we are ever to realize a
greater Alerndria. ! think we must
first realize that without co-onera
ton we can do nothing. The quicker
this self-evident truth dawns upon
us. the quicker Greater Alexandria
will be within our grasp"

The life story of this young hero
is pathetic! In life and death ne
was unknown, but true to the mark
of his high resolve was this splendid
fighting youthful marine. When the
tocsin of our nation resounded and
aroused true manhood to arms he
eagerly took his place in ranks and
sailed away over seas with his COM
mand, an eighteen wear old bow. and
fought in every battle in the World
War from the time America entered
the conflict and died in action before
attaining mans estate and on the
day the Armistice was signed. Alas.
what a melancholy truth to relate!
His history is this:
zone cold Christmas night about
twenty years ago he was under gas
light on the side walk on one Of the
avenues of Baltimore, deserted in
FAINT. He was conveyed by the pa
trolman who found him comfor-
table quarters where he was provided
for until sent to Mount st. Marv's
Industrial School, near Gainesville,
Md, and there he grew in knowledge
and usefulness. vet no one ever knew
his name and from his boyhood to
his last battlefield no one ever
found out who he was.
One day as war clouds gathered
over our country, squad of Marines
with a recruiting officer motored out
to ST.. Mary's and secured permission
to place machine guns on the cam
pus and train rne boys in the art of
Arms. It was there and then that
this young hero came before tho
public gaze and upon the field of
national usefulness to prove his pat
riotjc devotion. He wanted to be a
Marine and nothing could hold him
back, and after short training with
the guns on the campus. he enlisted
in the service. with p short time at
a training camp and thence to the
scenes of war. Because he had no
name the recruiting officer signed
him IN as "Smith" and he soon
grew in favor with his command
because of his manly. noble nature
and he was affectionately known as
"Smittv."
During the first Christmas in
France the bows all received narcels
from home-all with the exception OF
"Smitty"-he had 10 homo and re-
ceived no present. Some kind soul
however, had sent over big box
with the instructions md inscrintion,
