GOOD ROADS CLUB NEWS

The Upper Cecil County Good
Roads Club met at the home of V. H.
Benjamin on Monday evening, June
3. The attendance was very encour-
aging, practically all the members
being present.
Senator Cobourn's letter to the
Welfare Board, in which he outlined
program for permanent road i'm
provement was read, and approved
by the club, which goes on record as
being in complete accord with the
Senator's program.
The Clubs Official Booster, Frank
Kleinsorgen, in his remarks stated
that rural road improvement is of
vital importance to everyone. After
all, we are still an agricultural ma
ton, so let's remove one of our
greatest sore spots, the mud roads.
The farmer is taxed for the main
tenance of hard surfaced roads, but
is compelled to travel through mud
to reach them.
F. P. Keppel, in his talk to the
club, stated that in his estimation,
the program put forth by Senator
Cobourn was one of the best that has
been made public for some time.
A committee was appointed to in
terview the Welfare Board, to ascer-
tain if they are in favor of putting
the men to work ON the roads.
The meeting then adjourned, after
which a pleasan. evening was spent
by everyone.
The next meeting will be at F. p.

W. c. Il. U. STILL ON THE JOB


Another call for assistance in or
;anizing a Local Union of the w. G.
r. U. came from Chesapeake City,
md Miss Bertha NJ Tyson and Miss
Bertha Balderston met with an earn
est group at the Presbyterian Church
IN June 23rd and Local Union was
formed with twelve charter members.
These twelve represent the Methodist
hurch groups as well from Bethel
md Chesapeake and chose Mrs.
Vaughn as their president; Mrs. Glib
IONS, vice president, and Mrs Wat
Inns as treasurer
Il is interesting to note that about
fifty years ago this county had sew
aral local unions, one of which was
in this town. These groups were in
fuential in helping bring about local
option and finally prohibition. After
brief period under prohibition,
when drinking was declared to have
been reduced at least fifty per cent,
md people were putting their money
IN the saving banks and their chill
lren through school, came the de-
preston and people were cropping for
,omething to pull them out.
The liquor interests saw their
;hance and promised to float the
country out if only they were allow
ed to do so. They won over to their
side about twenty-five per cent of
he people and thus brought about
repeal.
We are reaping the results, and
according to the last issue of the
United States News figures show that
he lost ground is fast being regain
ed and drinking, which was account
ed for, in 1895 was only about one
third to one-sixth behind that in
1917.
We are hearing of other communi-
ties which want to join, or rejoin,
and our county officers hold them
selves in readiness to answer your
call
