Writer'S Strong Plea
for Zored Villages

During a recent rather extended au-
tomobile trip the writer saw two kinds
of villages. One kind looked entirely
commercialized. unkempt, hodge
podge. They looked like places with
out pride Of civic spirit.
The other kind were the opposite.
They appeared to point with pride to
one section and say to the visitor.
''This is our business section" and to
the other, surrounding section, and
say, Here are our homes, our lawns.
our flowers and gardens. This section
is sacred from the sordidness of com
liberalization"
The difference was just this: The
beautiful villages were zoned, the I'M
beautiful were not zoned. In the lat
ter, here and there, scattered up and
down the lines of homes. were gas
stations, sidewalk pumps, Understands,
the Dew Drop Inn," the hot-dog coun-
tiers. Tom, Dick and Harry, little or
big, had been allowed to do as they
pleased without let or hindrance. In
the zoned villages all was neat and
equally as rosperous.-Canton IN. "

HUNDREDS PERISH IN
EUROPEAN FLOOD

PARIS, Dec. 20 The year 1925 still
may be remembered as the 'great
flood year" in Central and Western
Europe, if the warm winds that have
swept the highlands and caused rapid
melting of the SHOWS do not soon give
place to colder airs.
Already many lives have been lost
in Rumania and Hungary, while vast
sections of France, Belgium, Switzer
land, Germany, Austria and Czecho-
sloval1ia are inundated. The weather
predictions point to continued warmth
and heavy rains.
The most alarming conditions are
reported from Central Europe. Torda,
Rumania, has been swept by torrent
of Overlooking waters that smashed
houses by the score. Direct reports
from Torda report the loss of hum
dreds of lives along the Rumania
frontier.
In the Bekes district of Hungary
more than 100000 acres are covered
with water, and the situation is grow
ing worse. Between Vesztoe and Ok
any the huge masonry dams are
threatening to give away.
An ice jam has added to. the serious
ness of the situation in the Thesis
river near Tisza Dada. The river Sage
likewise has overflowed it's banks.
Throughout all Belgium there are
serious floods. The rise in the waters
of the Rhine already is over its banks
at Kreuznach and part of the town
has been evacuated. At Coblenz the
Rhine is rising an inch an hour and
the situation is considered threaten
ing.

= Building
Many Points Inuolved
in Community Planning

What Is genuine community plan
ming? asks writer In the Detroit
Free Press. Our present city planning
deals for the most part with the bare
physical framework Of the city. Com
munity planning comprehends not
merely the physical layout of streets.
avenues. blocks and traffic arteries,
but the whole environment. including
the work, the housing, the recreation
the customs and habits of the people
who make up the community. Rous-
seau sud that houses make a town
people make city; and we may add
that the combination of houses and
people provide the situation for the
community planner.
Now, in dealing with his individual
client the architect does not merely
pay attention to his rough physical
requirements, TO drainage and circu-
lation, and so forth; he also pays at
tention to the specific use or uses
to which building is TO be put, and
to the needs and interests of his
client interpreted in the broadcast
sense
Community planning carries this
habit of mind over to the eommu-
nifty as "a whole. Just as 1t is impos-
sible to design a good house II the
owner wants to spend the greater
part of his available capital ON a
range so It Is Impossible to do any
effective community planning If the
majority of people are more inter
ested in making financial values than
Ia creating fer themselves the real
good that comes from houses we'll
placed. and community buildings
which serve every member to their
maximum capacity.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING

On Wednesday December 30th the
! hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
B. Gall on Stermer Street was the
scene of one of the most delightful
! parties of the holiday season, when
all of the children and grandchildren
of Mr.. anJ Mrs. John J. Gall met to
celebrate their golden wedding.
The party was complete surprise
to this aged couple who are widely
known and highly respected throu-
out Barbour County, having spent a
great part of their married life in or
near this city. The evening was spent
in receiving the congratulations of
their children, and was most happy
reunion of all, this being the first
time the family had ever met togeth-
er.
At six o'clock the guests were invit-
ed to the dining room where a turkey
dinner of elaborate appointments was
served. The table with it's cleaning
silver and spotless napery was center
ed with huge wedding cake, sur
mounted with a miniature bride and
groom, and lighted with unshaded gold
candles. The place cards were gold
hearts, the favors rosebuds.
The covers were laid for the follow
ing children and grandchildren: Mr..
and Mrs. Alva D. Gall and children
Dorthy, Harold, John Ronald, and
Martha of Hommondsville Ohio: w.

Mr.. an dMrs. Gall received shower
of gold, gifts of their children, also
set of solid silver spoons engraved
with wedding date, and the date of
the presant university, gift Of Alva
D. Gall and family.
This happy affair was originally
planned by Mrs. w. Bradford Gall,
who, unfortunately was taken serious
ly i'll about three weeks ago, and
rushed to the City Hospital at Graf
ton where successful operation for
appendicitis was performed, and her
absense was the one bit of gloom
which marred the pleasure of the ey
ening. However she insisted that the
preparations go on, and her plans
were dutifully carried on by the mem
bers of her family. All join in WISHING.
her speedy recovery and an early re-
turn to her home
At late hour the children wished
their parents many returns of the
happy day, and returned to their
homes sincerely greatful for this OBJ
portunity to honor their father and
