Golden Rule Sunday
Sunday, December A, is Golden
Rule Sunday, at which time every
family of the United States and in
many foreign countries are asked to
have simple Sunday dinner, such as
is eaten by the children under the
care of Near East Relief, and send
the amount saved to Near East Re-
lief for the needy children of Armen-
ia, thousands of whom are said to be
entirely dependent upon the gener-
osity of the people of America for
life itself, for, without the support
of Americans, they would starve and
freeze to death, being orphaned and
having no relatives to care for them.

New Road Opened
The new road connecting with the
upper Grantsville road to Springs at
the state line was opened to traffic on
November II. This piece of road was
built in record time by NJ. F. McCabe
and Co., the work being started on
August 10. This gives the farmers
living between Grantsville and
Springs, Pa, a good means of trans

cut from here to Meyersdale, Pa. 1t
will, when completed, shorten the
