ChevrOlet-FOrd Cars
Raising Heavy Dust
In Attendance Race

The meeting of the Brotherhood Bible
Glass Sunday, June 9, was by far the
best attendance of the organization
since the Ford and Chevrolet contest
has been in operation, and the Chevro-
lets were outnumbered by six Fords, ac-
cording to a member of the class report
ing.
One of the outstanding numbers of
the meeting last Sunday was a quartet
selection rendered by J. F. Williams, j.
R. White, Thos. G. Stephenson and DR..
H. L. Martin.
T. G. Stephenson made short talk
to the class at which time he told of a
needy family near Lexington and asked
that an offering be taken by the mem
bers of the class. This was done and
$23.l5 was subscribed which was turned
over to Mr.. Stephenson for delivery to
the distressed people.
! Captain Reggie Williams, of the Chew
rolets and Captain Josh Williams, of
the Fords, are keeping the contest race
in a state of close figures and it is hard
at times to distinguish the cars from the
dust they both raise as they pilot their
| machines towards the meeting place
| each Sunday. 4ach@captain is claiming
I that parking space is going to be hard
to find for the other side in few
more weeks

School and City Plan
Permanent 1mp'vts
Covering Five Issues

Plans for the continued improvement
program of permanent nature in the
city's activities are further indicated by
the proposed graveled driveway at the
Lexington Grammar School grounds, ac-
cording to 7. J. Trull, member of the
board. This project will be a much
needed addition to the property and also
form a convenience to the rural pupils
when the school trucks can drive to the
entrances of the building and discharge
its cargo. The high school has complet-
ed this feature on its grounds and the
officials deemed this wise improve
ment for the grammar school. 1t is also
planned by the officials to have addi-
tional work done on the athletic field
at the high school and all fills made
with proper drainage remedied under
existing conditions. Several fills will
also be made around the building, where
excavations We're made in building the
new structure.
In keeping with the progressive pro
gram, the board of aldermen plan tt
make several improvements in the city
Prominent in their program is the grav-
cling of Westwood avenue along the
Community hospital frontage, eliminat-
ing the dust evil that exists and endang-
ers traffic on this busy thoroughfare
1t will also add to the comfort Of pat
tents in the institution.
The city has also decided to purchase
moving machine to rid many streets
of the weeds and grass alongside the
roadway, thereby obtaining a big saving
nj he ST =
ment. This will also improve the ap-
pearance of the streets as we'll as re-
duce other hazards of such growth.
Traffic metal signs and warnings will
also be installed. Painted regulations
on the paved streets and other avenues
have served to acquaint the driving pub
lie with the orders of the traffic depart
ment, and installation of warnings of
permanent construction will soon take
its place on all marked areas

PARIS HAS LARGE APARTMENT HOUSE
 BUILDING PLANS

PART, July 26.-Eight thousand new low-priced apartments each year is the building program of Paris. .i The rents will average about $60 a year a room and grad ually it is hoped to reduce rents on dozens of city apartment build ings already in use to about the same level.
 These moderate terms conform to the governments big plan to help finance and to subsidize home building enterprise until the hous- ing crisis can be overcome.
 Ground is available for tens of thousands of apartments on the strip around Paris where once stood the old fortified walls connecting the gates that still are used as cus- toms entrances. This was gov ernment property but part of it was ceded to the city
 Originally it was planned to make wide boulepards and parks about the city but the housing shortage, traffic conditions and the cost has held uD any such Identification plan.

HOME PARTNERSHIP
 NEW MARRIAGE NAME

NEW YORK, July 26.-The term home partnership is supplanting
 the word marriage with youth of today, says Newell W. Edson, Chair
 man of the Social Hygiene Com
 mittee of the National Parent Teacher Association.
 "The modern young people shy away from the word marriage :" Edson declared. Tt carries with it too much mystery and illusion. too much suggestion of the clinging vine type of woman. Boys and girls now look at life frankly. The
 boy wants a wife who will form
 a 5o-50 home partnership with him when he marries."

of the Valdez district, covering the opening of the southern end of the Richardson Highway during the past spring.
 It is interesting for some of the unusual methods used in clearing away a winters accumulation of snow that in some places attained a depth of 45 feet. Said Superin- tendent HuddleSton:
 Tunnel Through Snow
 "On June 10, the repair crews reached SnoWslide Gulch and a temporary crossing was made by cutting down the slide 150 feet be- low the bridge and building a run way across of old bridge plank. The , snow was 45 feet deep on the bridge, so a tunnel was driven 125 feet to the bridge, following the , road, and a shaft opened to the surface to allow thawing while the rest of the road over the summit was being opened On the 18th the road was cleared to Mile 20 and Sits crew was moved from town fValdez) to Wortman at Mile 1e and started clearing snow from Mile 20 to Mile 29hs. Three crews were operating on the Milford shovel; Best tractor and all of the force in the two camps worked on the snow, reaching Mile 26% on June 30.
 Many Large Slides
 ''The snow was continuous from Mile g to Mile 28 and was from two to 25 feet deep and packed very hard. In addition to this snow, large slides occurred at Miles 1 16lA, 20. 2l, 29, 31 and 51. The largest and most difficult to oper was found at Mile 28.6 and at Mile 29.3. At this point the ice, grave and boulders up to l2 tons ii weight, were forced out of the creek and mixed with 20-foot by 400. foot slide where it covered tn, road and the valley to the opposite mountainside.

LILY FARM HAS MANY VISITORS

Because Of its interesting and educa-
tional display at the lily show, and its
easy accessibility from the pavement
the Laughlin Lily Farm had probably
a greater number of visitors during the
past week than most of the other lily
fields.
BY actual count 1t was visited by 10i
persons on Sunday. The number who
visited on Saturday was not known ex-
actly. but there were many visitors on
that day 1t was an impossibility for
the owners to conduct each party about
SO they marked out the best routes by
means Of arrows. thus allowing their
visitors to see the lovely sight to the
best advantage, at the same time allow
ing them to do so unhurriedly.
1t is indeed unfortunate that the
psalmist could not have been re-incar-
mated, for If he wrote as he did OF the
lilies Of tine fields In Biblical times,
what might he not have written Of such
a sight as these fields of cultivated
flowers present.
The Laughlin brothers are the en-
bodiment OF hospitality, and are glad
to give others the pleasure OF enjoying
the beauty OF what their hands have
accomplished. 1t is surely an unalloy-
ed joy 10 visit their farm

SPEND DAY ON ISLAND

Last Monday DR.. David Grifaths,
head of the government bulb farms
at Bellingham and Roslyn, Virginia,
and Mr.. Allenson, Of Washington. D.
c., head of one Of the governmental
divisions of the department Of horticul-
ture, spent the day on the Island visit
ing the various lily farms. and gather
ing information as to the progress OF
the industry.
DIR. Griftiths is not q stranger on the
Island. as he has been here several
times in the past, but each visit makes
him little more enthusiastic concern
ing the possibilities Of the lily growing
industry here. This was Mr.. Allenson's
first visit, and he was generous in his
expressions of praise. Among the
many inquiries he made regarding the
Island was the cost of transportation
to the mainland. He was surprised
that the rates were so low.
Among the farms visited we're
Stewards. Laughlin's. Henry Stems.
Shride's, Harmeling's and Shefield's.
During the day the two visitors we're
guests of Cowden and Lester I.aughlin,
who beside taking them to all Of the
farms that DR.. Grif1ths desired to
visit, was able to give much general
information in regard to the Island.
They left Monday evening to visit the
bulb gardens in the vicinity of Gen.
tralia.

LOGANBERRIES MUST BE CARE.
FULLY PICKED

As worms have appeared In logan
berry patches here, as well as on the
mainland, the directors of the Associ-
alton state that extra precaution and
vigilance in picking and packing will
be necessary in order to escape
criticism of local berries This state of
affairs Is no worse here than else
where, hut in order to maintain the
high standard that the fruit sent out
by the Association has attained 1t will
be necessary for the growers to CO.
operate by not sending to the receiving
station any berries that are question
able. If they are sent there is no
recourse but to send them on to the
canneries marked questionable, with
the possibility that they will be rejected
as unfit for use.
For those who have SO far failed to
visit the local plant 1t would be well
to do so, and see how efficiently the
fruit is handled. From all appearances
the Marketing Association has passed
the stage Of doubt as to Its success,
and is indeed gratifying to mark its
development from the problematical
stage to that In which it can be point
ed to as a definite success
