CANDY FIRM MAKES
UNUSUAL PROGRESS

Fairrnont has no better example
of what energy. perseverance and
square treatment will do than is
found in the Monongahela Candy
Co.
In 1918, Arch F. Sandy, who was
at that time assistant cashier Of
the Peoples National Rank, and
Charles R. Holt, who was a popu-
lar groceryman, thought they saw
the need OF a wholesale candy COM
pany in Northern West Virginia
They organized the above nance
company in a small way and went
after business. Realizing that all
depended upon their start, they,
aimed to lay foundation that
would last, and how well they did
it is best told by the success they
have achieved. They obtained only
lines of merchandise that would
stand the rugged test of public ap-
proval, placed the goods in the
hands of courteous sale-men and
covered the territory that they wer
able to cover thoroughly-and from
the first their business grew
Though only four years have
elapsed, they have seen their bust
ness grow until today it Las a CAPT
tai stock Of 100000. has seven
salesman on the road all the time,
and covers twelve of the northern
counties OF West Virginia, a num-
Der OF the convenient counties Of
Pennsylvania, and goes even as far
south as Maryland. The line that
they have. consistently pushed the
hardest is their line OF line choco-
1ates under the name OF Greenfield
Chocolates, which they have made
household word in their territory.
Charles R. Hoult is president Of
the organization. and A. F. Sandy
is secretary and treasurer. Both
of the men are staunch members Of
the Kiwanis Club and Of the B. P.

OF nursing service, Is doing remark
able work for the children OF the
county, in the way of promoting
and preserving their health Her
duties consist in making a survey
of all the schools in the county and
making examinations of each of
the pupils.
Report OF the physical condition
OF each child is recorded and
where deficiencies are found. steps
are taken to remedy these at the
earliest possible time so that the
health OF the boy or girl will not
be impaired.
Miss Thomas makes repeated
calls at the schools to see that the
defects have been corrected. A
general Improvement. among the
children is noted since the nursing
service has been established and it
is proving it's real worth.
Nutrition Clinic
Miss Thomas is also in charS
OF the nutrition and tuberculosis
clinics. In the nutrition clinics,
children are examined and determ-
ination is made IL they have been
properly nourished. Tuberculos:
clinics are held the second Friday
of each month when demonstration
and instructions of much value are
given.
A nurse if provided for dental
clinics now being held This de-
partment is doing remarkably good
work in seeing that the teeth of
the children are being cared for by
capable dentists. The children are
referred to the clinic rooms by
Miss Thomas and Miss Martha
Ball and the work is SO well sys-
termaized that there is seldom any
delay or misunderstanding in re-
gard to the dates. The children
have no fear of the dental chair
as was the former complaint where
teeth were found to be sorely ne
elected on the part Of the little
folks.
Home Service Work
Last but not least, but one Of the
greatest works OF the Red Cross, is
the home service department. This
work is directed by Miss Florence
kneisel. acting secretary of the To-
cal chapter. The needs of the ex-
service men are looked after in de-
tail The filing of their claims with
the United States government and
cooperation with the veterans bu-
reau in compensation, vocational
training and hospital work have
been of great help and assistance
to the ex-service men,
The department has complete
record of the names and address of
the Marion County men who served
their country during the World
War, together with the service
they gave, their rank, etc ertera. In
this way the department has been
of great benefit to the many hun

The Brock-Bolt Picnic.

The morning of the 26th Of Aug
ust dawned with canopy of clouds,
but. these soon passed away, leaving
cool breeze for the. comfort and
pleasurei Of those attending the
Brock-Bolt picnic, which was held
at the hospitablet home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Al. Brock, which Is an ideal
place for gathering Of this kind.
The gathering was occasioned by
four In these two families having a
birthday during, that week. They
were Mrs. j. NJ. Dodd. Evans j..
Brock, Master Guy Brock, the year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Boone G..
Brock, and Mas'er Herbert Lewis

Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Y. Bolt.
The day was spent in playing by
the children and the others spent
the time in conversation Of the past,
present and future,
One Of the most important features
Of this happy occasion was that
which took place about 100 o'clock,
when dinner was announced--and
such dinner of chicken salad and
fruits, pies, oustards, pickles and
in fact, everything that one could
have to tempt the appetite was
spread on long tables under the
large and beautiful shade trees in
the yard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brock so graciously
entertained those present that am
sure the occasion will always remain
a pleasant memory in the hearts of
those who were there. The wish was
oft expressed that the same crowd
could come together again. Those
present were: Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
Brock and children, Evans j., Roy,
Clyde, Doris, Misses Rosa, Lillian,
Gamtha and Margaret; Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Y. Bolt and children, Floyd,
Herbert, Edna and Furman; Mr.. and

Everything looks encouraging and
everybody is on the !move.
Yesterday, the 29th, was election

would ask me If my family was go

begin to wonder what sort Of man
T, was, to leave my family that far
away. Some Of them would say,
"Well, I was never that far away
from my family. / can't leave them
that far" Listen: There Is no such
word as cant" You can do any
thing IL you have the nerve. Some
people think they can't stand to see
one Of their children leave. Wonder
If they stop to think what It, is for
