TABLELAND FESTIVAL

Tableland folk are today casting
their thoughts toward Somerset, Pa,
and the last week in August when will
be held one Of the most unique must
cal and sports gatherings in the his
tory Of nine counties.
Residents of Monongalia, Preston,
Tucker, Barbour, Grant and Mineral
counties in West Virginia; Garrett
county in Maryland, and Fayette and
Somerset counties in Pennsylvania are
making preparations to join in a
great music-pageant which will bring
these residents of common geo.
graphic region into a new contact
with each other.
Never before has such a festival
been held bringing together these
people, so naturally neighbors by
reason of their highland habitation,
but separated by artificial, invisible
lines which mark of West Virginia
from Maryland, and Pennsylvania
from both.
The festival for which Somerset
folk are so eagerly planning even now
is part of new understanding of the
regions in which this great country is
naturally divided, each region spread
ing out around the major cities of the
realm.
Pittsburgh, which stands as the
towering metropolitan center above
western Pennsylvania, western Mary
land, and northern West Virginia, is
coming to realize its cultural, econom-
ic, and social effect upon the sur
rounding region, and to recognize the
possibilities inherent in its own him
terland.
Of all the region, no part offers
greater recreational and other oppor-
tunities than this great Tableland,
standing as it does as the natural
playground for people of the Pitts
burgh region. No like area in the
region has such an abundance of seen
ic beauty, such possibilities for reach
ing nature in its unspoiled condition,
such hunting and fishing, such fine
places to live in summer, where it is
ten degrees cooler than the city, and
such possibilities in this latitude for
developing a program of winter
sports.
1t is new thought. Pittsburgh
is helping as the Tableland folk join
to become better acquainted.

School Subjects Being Taught

Board of Optometry
Psychologists tell us that the five
senses bear the following relationship.
Eighty-seven and one-half percent OF
our information comes from sight,
seven percent comes from hearing,
and the other five and one-half percent
comes from touch, smell, and taste in
the order named.
Visual Education is not new. Cen
turtles ago a Chinese sage said, zone
picture is worth ten thousand words. !"
Two hundred years ago Pestalozzi,
the founder of the kindergarten sys-
tenn in schools, insisted that the teach
er must either bring reality into the
schools or take the children out to see
reality. His teachings recently bore
fruit when the State of Ohio made it
compulsory that each one of its twelve
hundred high schools be equipped with
motion picture machine for the
teaching of history and other like SUBJ
jects.
Why did that State insist on bring
ing reality into the class room? Be-
cause they knew that those children
could SEE history twelve times as
fast as they could hear about it or
read about it.
With the above facts in mind, is it
not then very important that we keep
our eye system as near one hundred
percent efficient as possible, paying
particular attention to the visual eff
ficiency Of the growing child?

TAX PAYMENTS
DUE THURSDAY
Penalty Uncertain, Judge
Dancy Urges Immediate
Payers Action

Thursday, October IS. is the last
day on which 1880 taxes may be
paid without the imposition OF
penalties.
Under the terms Of House Bill 80
passed by the last session Of the
legislature, time for payment Of
taxes without penalty was extended
to January 81, but this bill has
been held unconstitutional by a
court Of three district judges sit
ting in Austin. Atty. Gen. James v.
Alfred has also held the law void.
and a decision from the supreme
court Of the state is not expected
within 30 days.
With the status of the law un-
certain. county officials are urging
taxpayers to complete their 1880 tax
payments today or tomorrow in r
der to avoid possibility of having to
pay additional penalties.
III q statement ISSUED tnlS MORN
ing, County Judge Oscar Dancy
urges payment OF taxes, especially
those due to irrigation and school
districts.
"Al taxes are important ant all
are needed by the various political
entities of the county, but the ir-
rigation and school districts are III
especial need Of tax monies and are
SO vital to the continued success Of
the Valley that I suggest these tax
es be paid first, If the taxpayer is
unable TO meet all Of his tax obliga-
tions." the county judge stated.
Taxes for the year 1881 may be
paid in two instruments, provided
one half Of the amount Que is paid
on or before Nov. 80, Judge Dancy
states.
BY paying half of the 1881 taxes
by Nov. 80, the taxpayer may with
hold payment Of the second half
due until June 30, without being
forced to pay either interest or
penalties.
