y Building
Traffic Arteries Must
Be Planned With Care


Teaching a community how to grow
Is one Of the businesses that has
evolved from this machine age, and
towns and cities are no longer as self
contained as they were, their pros
perity and development depending to
a large degree on the prosperity Of
an entire area.
This has brought about the wide
spread application of city planning
and it's big brother, regional PLAN
ming. Governmental agencies author
lied or qualified to do the work for
city and it's environs rarely exist.
Whatever is to be accomplished must
come through the activities Of the
citizens themselves, who can be most
effective through the medium of the
city or regional planning body.
OF all the problems that the COM
munity Of today has to face that of
the automobile and it's attendant de-
mands is of most concern. The travel
fluidity of the car has caused the sub
urb and outlying districts to blossom.
Adequate traffic arteries must be built
and certainly there must be some di-
recting agency to see that they are
built where there Is the most need.
In days gone by cities and towns
grew without intelligent direction.
Streets for the most part we're con-
fined to that age-old four-rod width.
Without proper guidance growing
communities will find themselves still
laying out the same old narrow routes
which became inadequate about the
time blacksmiths began giving up the
anvil for automobile tools.

Christmas Always One

CHRISTMAS in many places comes

Part of its JOY lies in the sound of
carols upon the frosty air; the peal
Of glad bells across the snow; the
warm and welcome glow of bright

Christmas in other places comes
with soft, caressing winds; II is greet

ment house, had at last
capitulated and allowed the house to
be demolished, there was one good
reason why the story was more than
merely local New York news item.
For the disputed building has right
fully been called 1.-THE birthplace of
Santa Claus" because in it more
than hundred years ago DR.. Clement
@. Moore wrote a famous Christmas
poem In which for the first time the
American Santa Claus was described,
his mode of travelling was pictured
and the lavishness of his giving was
made known. That poem was 1.-THE
Might Before Christmas" which every
American has recited or heard recited
at some time or another. And for that
reason the news that 'the birthplace
of Santa Claus" was to be wiped out
Of existence had nationwide interest.
Quite aside from his fame as the
author of "The Night Before Christ
mas" Doctor Moore was notable
man. His father, Bishop Benjamin
Moore, the second Protestant Episcopal
bishop of New York and the third
president of Columbia university, as
sisted at the Inauguration of Washing
ton and administered the last rites to
the dying Alexander Hamilton after
the fatal duel with Aaron Burr.
Clement G. Moore was graduated from
Columbia university in 1893 and was a
professor of Hebrew and Greek in the
General Theological seminary from
1921 to 1850. He was prolific writer,

 The buying movement was help ed along by a good deal of cover ing over the weekend. It was not restricted to any one special group but covered most of the list.

The award was made after both
men had announced their with

they considered because or their po-

should not be chosen.
The honor was given Judge
Dancy because of the outstanding
service he has rendered to all or
Cameron county" Kiekel said. "It
was largely because Of his unselfish
service to the county, the Valley,
and his state that he was chosen
for the honor"
The selection was made by indi-
vidual vote OF the American Le-
gion members after nominations
had been made by civic clubs and
other public organizations.

this has been done, making Cam

Eckener Orders Pas
sengers Aboard Big
Craft For Trip To
Los Angeles

TOKYO. Aug. 21.-(P)-Dr. Hugo
Eckener, commander, and the Off
GERS OF the dirigible Graf Zeppelin
entrained tonight for Kasumigaura,
naval air station forty miles north
west Of here to board the giant
airship for its flight across the Pa
cific. The passengers Of the air
ship arranged to follow on a spe-
cial train. Before starting her Pa
cific flight the Graf's stores were
enlarged in Japan by so quarts of
champagne and a like quantity of
wines, besides plentiful supply Of
whiSkey and liquors.
Such part of the liquor placed in
the zeppelin's wine cellar as is not
disposed Of by the passengers on
the way to Los Angeles will be seal
ed in bond when the ship passes
over American territorial waters.
Refueling was underway and fin
ishing touches TO slight repairs on
the balloons were being made, but
generally speaking, the ship was in
readiness for its ound-the-world
lap, trip expected to traverse s.
400 miles and to occupy about 100
hours.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, the ships mas
ter. who treats the take-off as no
more eventful than departure Of a
ship from New Yor<1 harbor, asked
the passengers to be ready to 90
aboard at 2 a. n. A full two hours
prior TO scheduled departure.
Great Circle Route
He said today he expected to fol-
low the northern great circle route
to Seattle. possibly along the line
Of the Aleutian islands, following
the American coast southwark to
the southern California goal.
Japanese weather surveys of the
western Pacific area made by the
meteorological service particularly
for DR.. Eckener showed not a single
disturbance anywhere, with every
prospect Of an easy trip across
Pacific. which will be the second
ocean crossed by the dirigible.
Thousands View Graf
Thousands OF Japanese took ad-
vantage OF tair weather today TO
visit the old German hangar at
kasumigalra, where the Zeppelin
is housed. to inspect the craft, the
like of which has never been seen
in Japan before. Most were unre-
strained in their enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, DIR. Eckener and his
crew continued their round Of en-
