WOODSTOCK FORT ROAD DAY

ACommlttee of the Woodstock Cham.
Der of Commerce, composed of Direc-
tors Allen K. Albert, Delmar d Davis,
| w. NJ. Wender and Jason j. Sperry,
toured the Powell's Fort Valley the
first of the week for the purpose of
: arousing interest in contemplated
Road Day, or probably several days of
this character. The purpose of the
movement is to interest the people of
the Fort area in a cooperative plan to
improve the road from Woodstock to
the rich Valley east of the Massanutten
and give to the people of that section
an improved highway.
The plan contemplates the gathering
together on designated day or days
the citizens interested who will con-
tribute days work, teams-for haul
ing, and money with which to employ
labor and purchase necessary mater
ials. 1t is also part of the plan to
have the ladies do their bit by furnish
ing sandwiches and lunches for the
occasion.
The Road Day idea is feasible and
workable movement by which maxi
mum amount of road work may be ac-
complished at minimum cost, and in
other sections the plan has succeeded
so we'll that it has become q yearly
event.
The Woodstock Chamber of Com
merce has inaugurated the local move
ment for the good not only of the town
but for the benefit of the entire terri
tory contiguous to the highway to be
improved. II will mean better outlet
for the big trade which originates in
the Fort Valley and this of necessity
will be of inestimable good to Wood
stock.
The whole scheme is cooperative
and is dependent upon the active in
terest of the citizens of the town and
the Fort Valley. The enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the plan by these citizens
should be an inspiration to the citizens
of Woodstock to join whole heartedly
in the movement, and give to the cause
to the extent of their ability.
1t will make more accessible the
Chamber of Commerce Tower on the
crest of Massanutten Mountain and en-
able thousands of tourists to go to this
point to catch view of the unparal-
leled picture of the Shenandoah Valley
seen from that point, view which for
picturesqueness and grandeur is with
out an equal in the South and one
which is not surpassed in all of
America.
The day or days for the big under
taking have not as yet been determined
upon, but the time will be set by the
Chamber of Commerce in order that
weather and other conditions will make
the undertaking the great success
which it should be.
Jason j. Sperry is Chairman of the
Committee having in charge the plans
| for the work, which is an assurance of
an energetic and active campaign for
the success Of the movement. j. Car
son Anderson, is also one of1the COM
mittee,

JOHN BARR KILLS SELF.

John Barr, because of continued i'll
health, and asufferer from melancholia
committed suicide in field on the
farm of w. L. Saum early Friday morn
ing and his partly decomposed body
was found thirty-six hours later by
searchers whose anxiety because of
his absence from home led to an in
Yestigation.
The tragic END was accomplished
with dull blade of pocket knife,
and the desperation of the suicide was
evidenced by ragged wounds made in
ending his life.
Sheriff B. NJ. Borden, with DR.. F. w.
Gearing and Undertaken f. M. Fravel
went to the scene OF the tragedy. and
1.-THE circumstances were such that an
| Inquest was deemed unnecessary.
| Only recently Barr had received
/ hospital treatment for his ills, and hi
sunimproved condition lead to the des
perate act.
He was buried at Saumsville at TO
O'Clock on Saturday evening.

Would Establish
School to Train u. S.
Youth i'm Diplomacy

New York, Jan. ]6-CongreSS will
be asked to establish an academy of
diplomacy for the training of Ameri-
can youth as statesmen, it was an
nounced today at meeting of the
board of governors on the Sulgrave
institute.
The request will be made in con-
nection with a plan for nation
wide bi-centennial celebration of
George Washington's birth in 1882,
which was outlined at today's meet
ing. The diplomats academy would
be but one Of several memorials to
the first president.
Plans already under way for
drafting a bill providing for the
statesmen's school to which as now
proposed. pupils would be appointed
as they are to the army and navy
academies at West Point and Anna
polls. and for it's introduction in
congress at an early date.
"Our diplomatic service has al
ways been conducted too much on a
political basis and not sufficiently
upon the merit of education and eX-
.perience. America needs trained
men to represent her abroad and an
academy of diplomacy. created as
one of the memorials to George
Washington, would in every Wise
meet this present requirement.

DOWDOIN ALUMNI
At BOSTON GET RADIO
FROM MACMILLAN

Boston. Jan. ia radio message
from Donald Macmillan. the explorer,
whose ship the Bowdoin, is frozen in
the ice of north Greenland 1000 miles
beyond the Arctic Circle. was cheered
at the annual meeting of the Boston
alumni of Bowdoin College here to-
night. The message said the Bowdoin
flag. the most northern flag flying in
all the world" was hoisted tonight in
honor of the gathering. 1t was receiv-
cd at radio station 9-BP. Prince Ru-
pert. British Columbia. in reply to a
message sent some days ago in behalf
of the alumni association.
President Kenneth c. NJ. Sills of the
college in his address argued that ed
Ication in general was defective in two
respects. One of these. he said. was
lack of thorougnness in preparatory
training and in the first two years in
college. The other was failure to al
low for individual initiative. and to
give students in their final year an
opportunity to choose their own work
end carry it for themselves under di-
rection.
He announced that Bowdoin would
celebrate the Tooth anniversary of the
class of 1926. of which LonGfellow and
Hawthorne were members. by holding
an institute of literature similar to the
institute of history which was a fea-
ture OF the summer of 1928.
