place of honor behind the regents

After the usual routine of business
reports were heard from all commit
tees. Officers reports were full and
| interesting. The ways and means

books to be placed in the national IL
brary.
The empty stocking fund chairman
gave full report OF their plans for

need for contributions TO this worthy

The forestry department IS asking

tribution be the same as heretofore.

ton at the cooperation of the chap
ter in the Armistice day program. She
read messages from the president gen

of which was the need OF cooperation
between parents and teachers, and
urging every one to visit their schools
d,irin ethe next week. This concluded
the business for the afternoon, and

ANOTHER HIGHWAY
THROUGH DAWSON
NATIONAL MOTORISTS ASSO-
CATION DESIGNATES ROUTE
FROM CHICAGO, ILL.

The News has received a letter
from Mr. P. ]. Martin, of the Nation
al Motorists Association, with head
quarters in Chicago, in which he says:
The National Motorists Associa-
ton have designated and approved a
route from Chicago and St. Louis to
Florida. This contemplated route is
through Dawson, and it was contem-
plated to conduct motorcade leaving
Chicago about December LIST for the
purpose of dedicating the route and
erecting a zero marker at Gainesville,
Florida.
"A survey which has been made by
our field supervisor, while proving the
route be practicable, determined, how
ever, that safe passage for such a mo-
torcade could rot be guaranteed at
this particular time 1t was found that
some portions of The road was not
passable after long periods of ex-
IRENE bad weather. Consequently the
opening of the route and the motor
cade have been postponed until the
fall of 1925"
Mr.. Martin says the National Mo-
florists Association, in promoting this
highway, is anxious to have the moral
support of the citizens of the towns
which the route will traverse and
would be glad for any official, civic
organization or citizen who is inter
csted in such a route to communicate
with him.
This highway would bring many
people through Dawson, and should
and no doubt will receive the encour-
agement and support of the entire
community.
