Major General 6ummeral, Chief OF

American Legion Members,

York, Pa. Aug. Up - Major
General Charles P. Summerall,
chief of staff of the United States
army, in an address today at the
convention Of the department OF
Pennsylvania OF the American Le-
gion, emphasized the need for ade-
quate national military prepared
ness. and praised the Legion for
its support OF that policy.
Practical patriotism can be
measured, General Summerall as
serted, by the way one assists in
the work of preparedness for flu
ture emergencies through the sup
port of the military policy OF the
nation.
I'VE Americans as a whole de-
sire continued peace, but desiring
peace does not insure peace" he
said. History shows that wars de-
scend upon nations that do not de-
sire them, while rarely has war
been forced upon a strong nation
ready for war.
Human experience shows con-
clusively that weakness, not
strength. invited aggression. No one
can show that any one of our wars
was caused by our military forces.
Our armies have always been raised
after the people through their rep
resentatives in congress, had rec
ognized a state of war forced upon
us by an enemy.
Since 1920 we have had for the
first time in our history a real
military policy. The national de-
Tense act has given US a plan
whereby our highly skeletonized.
partly trained military organization
can be expanded to combat
strength"

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
WILL BE ERECTED HERE

Attendance at the Pocahontas public
and high schools has so far outgrown
the present school plant that the hous-
ing problem is becoming acute.
There is a total enrolment of 5l3
and all the room available would not
properly accommodate more than $50
students.
The problem of sufficient teachers is
one that cannot be properly considered
until more teaching room is provided
for them.
With these facts in mind, the local
school board, composed of DR.. J. w.
Brown, president; w. II. Phipps, secre-
tary; DIR. w. f. Hamil, J. d. Wells,
Ben A. Brown and DR.. G. e. Stuttle,
at its regular meeting last Friday
night took great strides toward a rem
edy for the situation.
Regarding the plans made by 'he
Board, DR.. Brown made the follOw,ug
statement:
1--WE have planned to start, within
the next sixty days, the construction
of a new building, to be located on the
north side of the present main build
ing and possibly adjoining the old
structure.
at is our intention to use the pres
ent buildings as rooms for the grades
and to construct six additional rooms
for the higher classes. The new build
ing will consist Of class rooms, an audi
torium with a seating capacity of 1000
and well equipped gymnasium. A
steam heating plant, to heat all the
buildings, will also be installed.
1--WE also have decided TO grade off
a tract just north of the campus-be-
low the hill-and construct a real
athletic field
These plans will necessitate the ex-
penditure of between $25,000 and S30.-
600 and the construction work, We
hope, will be completed in time for the
next term of school"
Another meeting of the school board
will be held within the next few DAYS
to make definite plans in order tAat
no time may be lost in starting the
construction work.
