CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION ..
 FOR EAST MAIN STREET
Road Will Be Rebuilt from Bordens to C. N. E..
 Trestle
WILL START WORK. SOON
Section to be Rebuilt Is Mud Hole Every Spring and Fall and
 Almost Impossible

The people of this town may re- ioice when the new section of con- crete road is completed on East Main street That isSthe majority of them will. The exceptions probably are the residents along the route of con struction who have sought to keep wide lawns looking nice and now find that the new road encroaches on what they thought was their property. But construction is assured and when the road is completed there will be ade- quate compensation in that there will be less dust and no mud to wade or wallow in.
 News of the construction has been a great surprise to many, for Com missioner Bennett has had practically nothing to say about it. Neverthe- less he has seen the need for per manent road and the time being opportune, has ordered the work to commence as soon as possible. The new concrete road will be eighteen feet wide and will extend from the c. N. E. tracks near Bordens to the over head railroad bridge, distance of about one-haf mile. D. c. Loewe, division engineer at Winsted stated that construction would start as soon as the work was completed in East Canaan.
 Surveyors from the Highway De- partment have been in town stalking out the width of the road and the course which it will follow. From these stakes it will be seen that every effort is being made to make the road as straight as possible. AS to the cost of this section of concrete, it is judged from similar work being done in other places, that it will not exceed $17,000. The cost of maintenance on this type of construction, however, is very low and will prove much cheaper and more desirable in the years to come than asphalt or maca- dam.
 Canaan people who have criticised the Commissioner for his apparent lack of interest in the needs of this town will concede that the town has been fortunate to secure concrete roads in two of the worst sections of the town. But we need still more and probably will get them when the proper time comes. No one thing would be of greater direct benefit than a concrete road from curb to curb, on Main and Railroad streets.

LOCAL COAL SITUATION IS CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Fuel Administrator Outlines Plans for Distributing
 Anthracite
ONE TON TO CUSTOMER
Local Dealers Have Orders on Books Which Total More Than
 Five Hundred Tons

The first frosts of the season have caused many to feel anxiety over the local coal situation. Wood of course is a substitute, but a poor one at best for many have little or no knowledge as to the proper manner in which to use it. Furthermore, woodchoppers and some owners of woodland have raised the prices un- til, in comparison with the old price for coal, it is rather expensive fuel.
 Local dealers have on their books at the present time orders which aggregate more than 500 tons of an- thracite coal. This amount may not seem large until it is divided up into carloads, the average of which is about 40 tons-and then consider the possibility of securing this amount before severe weather sets in. While the dealers have had or dered placed for several months practically no knowledge is had as to the arrival of coal. When the coal begins to arrive there seems a cer- tainty that many who have withheld their orders because of the hopeless situation which has existed, will be- gin demanding coal. One dealer in- formed us that he did not expect any coal until sometime next month.
 The following letter has been sent to all retail coal dealers by Thomas w. Russell, fuel administrator for the state:
 It has been settled that the dis tribution of Anthracite coal from producer to retail dealer shall be made in the same channels of trade as in former years and the Anthra- cite Distribution Committed has undertaken to see that each dealer gets his fair share from his regular shippers.
 This makes your problem and our problem fairly simple. How can we best spread deliveries over the larg- est possible number of homes? We request that you. observe the follow ing rules:
 l. No deliveries in excess of two tons; one ton would probably be better.
 2. No deliveries prior to Novem- Der 1st to anybody but domestic con sumers and others requiring it for cooking, purposes. The purpose of this rule is to cut off from domestic sizes all buildings that can use soft coal.
 8. Every car must be unloaded within twenty-four hours. When ever failure to unload promptly is reported to us we shall request that shipments to that dealer be sus- pended
 We request and expect from our knowledge of the dealers of this State that you will do your best to take care of the situation and will not charge more than a fair retail price.
 We would ask you to notify us immediately of any attempt on the part of producer or jobber to charge you an unreasonable price and we promise the evidence will be sent propmtly to the proper authorities.

 T. w. Russell, Administrator.

Rev. M. J. Duncklee Preached Yesterday
 At United Church

Rev. Maurice J. Duncklee pastor Of Bethany church, preached at the Uni ted church yesterday morning for Dr. Wm. Horace Day who is sailing for Europe. MT. Duncklee used as the subject of his sermon "The Promise of Life" with the text.
 Life with all of its wonder is a common fact with us, said MT Duncklee. "Woe to the man to whom it becomes a commonplace fact. Life pulsates in our veins; life dwells in the depth of the seas; life is the one great fact of the world which we know, but it is none the less wonder full when we stop to think about it, for the life principle is hidden deep CT than the seas. and beyond the reach of any microscope.
 "In the bible we find the promise of life" said MT. Duncklee. We find also the history of the life of many individuals and of the life of a na- tion. Here is written the most in teresting page in the history of life whereon is inscribed these words, Thou man die. yet shall he life This promise of life for you and me in Christ Jesus is more than simply a promise of amending life in which we may possibly repoice or perhaps suffer and regret

studying the situation. never preached a sermon on it. because I thought it was something that would pass. But the tendencies are still de- cidedly free.
 The question is: What kind of homes are these free young people going to establish? Will they not speedily tire of the partners whom they pick up so casually?'
 The boy or girl who has a real mother and father has the greatest inheritance that can be given. Any child who hasn't should be given sympathy. not censure.
 ''The Bible tells Of a woman named Bernice who attended the trial of the Apostole Paul History tells tI:et she married her uncle and then led an adulterous lie with her brother Agrippo II. Then she was married to a king of Asia Minor. but the life was too tame for her. and she re- turned to her brother.
 But Bernice was not to De blamed She had come from home where such things were tolerated. And even there was some good in Bernice. For when Jerusalem was being sacked by Florus she went. with disheveled hair and every sign of humility to offer herself for her people.
 Therefore. when young people go wrong. don't censure them. Love thenn.''

West Virginia To Vindicate
 Her Name
BY ROBT. STAR THORNBURGH, International News Service Staff
 Correspondent.

Huntington, W. Va, July 10.-West
 Virginia is preparing to launch a ma
 tion-wide campaign of vindication.
 A long series of industrial troubles,
 Creek wars in 1912-1s13. to the
 march of miners against Logan Coun- ty in the late summer of 1921, has brought the little mountain state in Newspapers and magazines have launched salvo after sa1vo of abuse
 upon West Virginia, characterizing the state as a sort of habitat of arch criminals and gunmen, ruled with the iron hand of an invisible government.
 Outside of the circle of mountains and rivers which surround West Vir-
 ginia it is generally supposed that the perados who pack big uatOmat1cs
 Ion their hips" and who sit in church with long Winchesters between their
 knees.
 The Huntington Kiwanis Club fired the opening gun of the vindication campaign when committee was ap- pointed to prepare an outline Of the publicity drive and to enlist the sup port of civic and commercial bodies throughout the state-
 Mountain mmunities have all ways suffered because of their TO- mantle character, it is pointed out. Chicago may be rocked with the ex- plosion of bombs of an industrial war, a band of highwaymen may steal half million dollars from New ork
 mail truck-these crimes are inter esting and dramatic. Yet they lack
 some of the picturesque detail of the mountain crime. With the Southern mountains as a background it's easy to throw in the bitter feud, the mug gle loading rifles and the rendezvous in wild, craggy hollow for local color.
 All this makes for headlines and front pages.
 The life of the majority-the or dinary town and country existence, quite like that of any other state is forgotten for the depredations of the minority. A lot of miners have been living in tents They were inspected by Rabbi Wise's committee. And true enough they have suffered. And yet, they are not nearly as unfortunate as thousands of occupants of metropoh- tan tenement houses.
 west Virginia is spending millions for roads and schools. The develop ment of the country, while naturally difficult because of the rough topo- erapf1y, Is making progress, and of1- cials and leaders in civic work nave l expressed the hope that the state Will 1 take its place with others of America

 The Seventeenth District Court must decide whether S. E. Houtchens, of this city, wears a tough. obstinate beard or whether he attacked said beard with a faulty razor.
 Houtchens bought the razor from a barber supply company. But alas, when he arose happy next morning his day was utterly ruined at the beginning, for either the blade wouldn't cut or else the beard refused to be cut by a novice instrument.
