TOWN HALL
JOINED WITH SCHOOL
Plans Proposed To Relieve Condi-
lions In Housing Schools-Town
Hall Pushed

The housing proposition for
Woodstock public school is acute.
There has been temporary allevia-
ton to the problem. For years Wood
stock has dreamed of a Community
Hall. Sacrifices have been made
financially and otherwise to attain
this end.
Now, the two propositions have be-
come semi-officially interlocked At
meeting of the Council on Tuesday
night committee of citizens pro-
posed to use the funds on hand for
the construction of the Community
Hall, using the second floor for school
purposes, which would bring in
rental to liquidate to certain extent
the cost incident to the undertake
ing.
Only tentative plans were proposed
or considered by the Council and no
financial obligations were assumed
by the Council. The whole matter
was left TO a representative commit
tee, who will consider the matter and
act as conditions may determine.
In the meantime, plans for Wood
stocks schools will go ahead.

BARGELT IN
NEW QUARTERS
Old RELIABLE Jewelry Store Occupies
Handsome Room

With one exception probably, no
name has been longer identified with
the business interests of Woodstock
than "Bargelt." Certainly none has
been more synonymous with business
integrity
1t was in 1912 that the late Will
liam H. Bargelt came to Woodstock
from Hanover. Pa, and began bust
ness as a jeweler in town in the
building now owned by Miss Alice
Rinker, on Main Street
When the civil war broke out, the
Hanover jeweller cast his fortunes
with the South and served in the
Confederate Army.
Reentering business at the close of
the war, the Bargelt store was in the
building now occupied by j. L. Shat
fer, the Crystal Palace and at the
corner of Main and Court. in the
building which burned on the site of
Locke's store
After the death of Mr.. Bargeh his
two sons, w. F. and R. Lee, contin-
ued the business for a number of
years. and but for a brief interval.
when r. L. Bargelt was in Pittsburgh
the business has been continuous.
The present owner of the Old Re-
liable Jewelry Store has conducted
the business individually for eighteen
years, and within the week he has
moved into his handsome new store
room on Court Street There may
be larger jewlery stores in the Val
ley, but Woodstock can pride itself
on having the handsomest, and best
equipped establishment of its char
ter between Roanoke and Hagers-
town.
To really appreciate its attractive
ness visit would be necessary. The
new building was built by the Val
ley Builders Supply Co.

LIGHTNING DANCES
FOLKS SCARED
Storm Hits Woodstock at Noon Hour
No One Hmt-Damagc Is
Slight

Todays storm, more electrical,
than Noah like, hit Woodstock and
adjacent territory doing less dam
lage than some of the previous de-
luges which have recently dynamited
the drought.
The area of the storm was extend
ed to five-mile radius of Wood
stock, and lightning played not only
FRANKS but caused prayers to ascend
while it lasted. In front of the Her.
aid Office, close enough to even make
the editorial, mechanical and roper
torial forces seek their Bibles for

On North Muhlenburg Street, tel
ephone pole was shattered near the

the critical condition of Mrs. Wilson.
who is dangerously i'll.
At other places in the northern
sections of Woodstock lightning
danced with a DEVILS glee, and there
were more folks seeking the non
safety of feather beds, or
hiding in moth-scented closets than
recorded.
The rain for a time was heavy.
not so heavy as that Of Wednesday
night. when it was torrential for sew
eral hours, but enough to add to the
moisture which is making gardens
flourish and flowers bloom.
Storms have severely damaged
many county orchards. played havoc
with corn in some areas. blown down
and silos. uprooted trees.
and caused thousands of dollars of
damages.
However, the increased products
from farms and gardens, due to the
breaking Of the weeks-long drought
viii compensate for much of the loss.
incidentally much of the wheat
crop has been hurt by smut.

It has been so long since Route 81
of the State Highway System was es-
tablished by legislative enactment
that most Woodstock people had for
gotten that the State of Virginia had
in its road system a route from
Woodstock via Calvary and Liberty
Furnace to the West Virginia line.
Here, it was anticipated, the West
Virginia State Road System would
join up. For years the whole prob

and State maintained
In truth. West Virginia bucked.

section in which road building costs
were almost prohibitive, just to meet

BUFFALO PAPER
ENDORSES PARK
Editor of Courier Comments Favor
ably ON Project Historical Set
ting Remarkable, He Says

The Buffalo IN. W Courier
evinces considerable interest in the
proposed Shenandoah National Park
and commenting editorially on the
proposition prints the following in
teresting and pertinent editorial:
..Of general interest is the pro-
posal of the Southern Appalachian
Park committee for the creation of
a national park in the Blue Ridge
mountains of northern Virginia
Chairman Henry Temple and his as
sociates in presenting the report to
Secretary Work were Enthusiastically
enthusiastic over the proposed site
with its many canyons and gorges,
primeval forests and beautiful cas-
cading streams, within three hours
ride of the national capital
"Plummer F. Jones in the Review
of Reviews, describes the proposed
Shenandoah National Park as con-
sisting of six hundred square mile
irregular strip of virgin forest-six-
ty-six miles long and from eight to
eighteen miles wide-stretched along
the summit of the Blue Ridge noun
tains from Front Royal. twenty miles
south of historic Winchester, to Jar
mans Gap. thirty miles west of Char
lottesville.'
If the park project goes through, !.
it is planned to build skyline drive
along the mountain tops following a
continuous ridge and looking down
westerly on the Shenandoah Valley
from $500 to $500 feet below. and
also commanding a view of the Pied
mont plain stretching easterfy to the
Washington Monument. which land
mark of our national capital may be
seen on clear day
There are about sixty peaks in
the proposed park area. according to
Mr.. Jones, many of them towering to
more than 1000 feet in height The
view from these peaks is described
as one of wild magnificence and
grandeur. And there is an abundance
of wild animal life in the forests
adjoining the rocky slopes. The wild
deer has disappeared, but the fox
squirrel, woods rabbit, skunk, mink,
weasel and ground hog are all well
represented. The giant bald eagle,
too, is often to be seen.
From the viewpoint of historical
setting the proposed park site is re-
markable Within a few miles is
Harpers Ferry, scene of the ] h n
Brown raid A shrOt distance away
are the battlefields of Antietam and
Gettysburg. Within sight is Staun-
ton, containing the house in which
Woodrow Wilson was born and a few
hours motoring will take one to the
battlefields of Bull Run. Appomattox
and the Wilderness, to the birthplace
of Washington, Patrick Henry and
Jefferson. Only short distance away
and accessible by paved highways are
Richmond. jamestown. Yorktown
and Williamsburg.
THE next Congress is expected to
provide the funds necessary for the
purchase of this tract AS it is all
more or less undeveloped country, no
vast expenditure is deemed neces-
sary.
Establishment of the Shenandoah
National Park, in addition to prOvid-
ing ideal vacation facilities for thou
sands. would open up this historical
storehouse to the eountry's youth.

MONKEY HAS
THE LIMELIGHT
Scopes Trial Draws Famous Men To
Tennesse-W. J. Bryan On the
Job

n ucciie THAT those concerned with
The Scopes evolution case diyest
themselves of all ambition. to estab-
lish any particular theory for per-
sonal qualification and that we all
constantly inquire for the eternal
truth, was expressed by Judge John
I. Raulston upon the eve of the trial.
The statement in full follows:
/ approach my duties in the trial
in the Scopes case with a deep con
seriousness that the issues are pro-
found.
am concerned that those con-
nected with this investigation shall
divest themselves of all ambition to
establish any particular theory for
personal qualification, and that we
all constantly inquire for the eternal
truth.
If man, without inspiration, at
tempts to delve into the mysteries
of God, he finds himself oyerwhelm-
ed in perplexities.
Therefore, I am much interested
that the unerring hand of Him who
is author of all truth and justice
shall direct every official act of
mine"
William Jennings Bryan, Jr., has
arrived in Dayton from Los Angeles,
Joining other prosecution counsel as
sembled for the trial of John t.
Scopes. beginning there Saturday, on
a charge OF violating Tennessee anti
evolution law
Says Scopes Is Menace
William Jennings Bryan believes
that John T. Scopes, defendant in the
evolution trial is doing more harm
to the teachers of the country than
to any other class.
This harm" he declared. would
be indefinitely increased if his
Cseopes) views as to the independ-
enee of the teacher were estab-
lished
Religion and education were con-
trasted in brief address by Mr..
Bryan to the members of the Rhea
county Board of Education in the
Office of Walter White. superintend-
ent of schools and special proseeu-
tor in the Scopes case. The speaker
told of his allegiance to both, but
insisted that education must never
be placed above religion.
Defends Peay
Mr Bryan Endorsed the position of
Governor Austen Peay in saying that
the people of Tennessee would rather
give up their schools than their BIZ
Bile School books, he said. teach the
things of the present life and the
Bible the things of eternal life.
Mr. Bryan believes in science, but
agrees with Tolstoy that it is neces-
sary to know the science of how to
live
He was emphatic in declaring his
enthusiasm for education He made !
a plea for the child, saying that chill
dren are mere as part OF Goa plan
and not of their own volition. hav-
ing no choice of race, country or en-
yironment
There should be no conflict and
no lack of harmony in education and
religion in his opinion. This result
can be obtained only by education
and religion the training of thel
heart.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Wall
ter White, who called him 1.-THE
worlds greatest man and first citi-
zen" Mr. Bryan suggested he would
have felt less responsibility had he
.yers in the Scopes case"
