Lexington Now Boasts
First Grade A School
Accredited In County

Supt. W. B. Kenna, of the Lexington
public schools, is being congratulated
and commended for an honor that has
been accorded the local institution by
the accomplishment of the elementary
department of the institution being
recognized and rated as Glass A. This
is the first and only school of Holmes
county to be designated in it's class, and
the advice was made to the local de-
partmental head by J. T. Calhoun, super
visor of the accrediting commission of
the elementary department of state
schools.
All Lexingtonians are duly proud of
the fact and are joining in with the
faculty, board of trustees, Parent
Teacher Association and other active
scholastic crops, in the new attainment
that has been reached. The pupils of
the institution are confident of an ad-
vantage that affords the utmost in edu-
cational facilities of their school and
are among those whose work will rank
with any facilities and teachers unsur-
passed thruout the state.
Requisites that must be met to re-
ceive an A rating are divided into five
fundamentals; building and equipment;
grounds and surroundings; library and
reference facilities; size of classes and
organizations; qualifications of teachers
which emphasize training and expert
ence.
All of theabove were met and graded
accordingly in the report that has been
made to Supt. Kenna, and these facts
together with the high standards that
have always been undertaken by the
local school, bespeaks of the high honor
that has been accorded the elementary
department

Purchase and removal of the two
churches on the World war memo
rial plaza at this time in line with
President Hoover's public improve
ment program to relieve unemploy-
ment has been suggested by William
L. Elder, memorial commission
member.
Both church boards are willing to
sell" Elder said. land each would
build new church, giving employ
ment to many men. The First Bap-
fist church already has purchased
a new site.
County commissioners have au-
thority. under an act of the last
legislature, to issue bonds for the
purchase. 1t was part of the orig
inal agreement that the county
purchase this entire block"
American Legion members partic-
ularly are anxious to have the
churches purchased at this time so
that the plaza project will be COM
plete by 1888, when they hope TO
bring 1893 national Legion conyen-
ton here.
Movement Is under way among
Marion county Legion posts to nomi-
nate a legionnaire on both Republi-

assure favorable action.
County commissioners who have
avoided taking any definite action
since the project came under con-
sideration early this year, today had
placed the burden of the issue on

CITY To CARRY
LARGER SHARE
OF REpAv|NG
Widening, Surfacing Of East
New York Street to Be
on 1925 Basis.

Plans are being drawn to widen
and resmface East New York street
from Randolph~street to the Belt
railroad, with the city paying IS
per cent of the cost, City Engineer
A H. Moore declared today.
The resolution before the works
board some time ago was opposed
by the citizens living on the street
because the city would pay only so
per cent of the cost. The improve
ment will be made under the re-
surfacing law enabling the city to
carry three-fourths of the burden
for the main east side artery. Plans
will be prepared and work started
next spring.
Width to Remain
II is the intention of the present
administration to recommend con-
!inuatidp of the wide thoroughfare
from Irvington to the downtown
district. but no route has been de-
cided upon.
It Is estimated that the widening
and resurfacing will cost about
s105,000, while the widening alone
would have amounted to $4,000.
To Finish Delaware Street
Moore said Delaware street will be
finished within week or ten days if
weather permits. The cold weather
has hampered J. N. Morgan, con-
tractor, in completing the job. Del
aware will be sixty feet wide from
Massachusetts to FIT. Wayne avenues
on completion of the present I'M
provement.
East Michigan street from Sher-
man drive to Emerson avenue, which
is being paved between the tracks
by william Vogle, is expected to be
finished soon.

Sun s to Blame

By Science Service
CANTON, Mass, Dec. A.
Increased activity on the sun,
as indicated by huge sunspotS
now visible, is the cause Of the
cold weather experienced over
the North American continent
during the last week. DR.. H. H.
Clayton, famous meteorologist
here, told Science Service to-
day.
DR.. Clayton has been en-
gagged for many years in a
study of the relation between
activity in the sun and weather
on the earth. He believes the
present solar disturbance will
be of short duration because
the time of maximum number
of sunspots passed in 1928.

With the completion Of the S3J,- epp mansion at the corner O. Lin- coin street and shuttle Meadow av- onue recently erected by th" state trade school for Dr. Frank Zwick, the New Britain school has added another record to its archives.
 The Zwick residence is declared handsomest, largest and most ela- borate job of building construction ever completed entirely by appren- tices anywhere in the world. This is added 10 New Britains record of having the first building ever en- tirely constructed anywhere by ap- prenticcs. The original building was erected in the eastern section of the city for George K. Macaulcy
 It was in the Connecticut State Trade school idea of training ap- prentices on actual jobs was first put into extensive practice. The new Britain school has always carried out this type of training, and today in many sections of our city there are houses built hy apprentices un- der instruction. The last of these to be completed, and the finest ever to be built by junior tradesmen, according to records, is the Xwick residence at the corner Of shuttle Meadow avenue and Lincoln street. Except for the painting. decorating. plumbing and heating, there being no departments in the local school at present for this work. the entire building from the designing and drawing Of blue prints to the mak- ing of most of the interior wood- work was done by the boys who are at present serving their apprentice ship.
 The house is Of the English CO., lonial type, a combination of brick, stone and stucco. The brick are laid in a random bond with brown stone scattered through the eXter- for walls. Above the second floor line the house is buff stucco with tobacco brown half timbercd oak. The roof is of Narcolored slate.
