EIGHT NEW BUSES
TO GO IN SERVICE
Blue Ridge Lines Spend
100000 On New, Mod
ern Equipment

Eight new modern buses, purchased a
a cost of approximately $10O000.00,
will be placed on regular runs by The
Blue Ridge Lines on or about April 1.
Specially designed individual reclining
chairs are one of the many features of
these new buses. Double padded and
covered, they may be easily adjusted to
provide just the right reclining angle
for maximum traveller ease and comfort
Five of these new "Monarchs of the
Road will operate on regular schedules
between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. The
remaining three will be placed on the
Clarksburg- Pittsburgh runs.
Each will have a capacity equal to
the largest bus now in service thirty
three passengers. Each will be complete
in every appointment, and will provide
all travellers with even greater comfort,
convenience and dependability for the
regular low fares.
Such an addition to the fleet of mod
ern buses which the Blue Ridge Lines
already has in operation will greatly
strengthen this organizations undisput-
ed position as leader in the bus trans
portation industry.

CHURCH ATTENDANCE
By Req. j. d. Kemp Horn
st. PGuPs A. b. Church

There are three words that we often
use and yet little understands Heart,
Soul, Spirit Familiar words, all with
a familiar meaning. They all denote
and inner quality that is proof against
outer conditions. BY the power of these
all great advances in the world have
been made. This power is the perfect
defense for all mankind, far above arm
les and navies in their strength.
Sunday is the day dedicated by God
to the upbuilding of these unconquerable
powers within man. 1t is not a day
forced upon man by God, but a day
given to man that he might become
more like God; day in which he might
develop these supreme powers within
him. These are indeed the powers that
have made man rise far above all other
animal creation. For the measure of
mans accomplishment and achievement
is the capacity of the human heart to
imagine, to dare to do. Sunday is the
day, God given, in which this capacity
can be made to grow and that it may
not dwindle. 1t is essential to the world
to carefully guard and nurture this vi
tally of our souls.
Sunday is for just that. The Day
and the Place of Worship have been
made sacred to all mankind simply be-
cause they have done just that; made
the souls of men great within them.
This is the real proof of it's Divine orig
in, that the Day and the Church have
produced these unconquerable qualities.
Of this fact there can be no question.
Church going then becomes a vital
factor in our lives. We dare not ne
elect it if we desire to grow greater.
We dare not neglect it if we desire the
capacity to achieve and overcome. In
this age of relentless practically the
modern code weighs each hour and each

act in terms of it's worth. Under such
an examination Sunday and church 60
ing rank high in the scale of values.
First there is no alarm to awaken US;
we arise of our own will Here is its
first worth, character gains in the VIC
tory over sloth. Then we dress in our
very best. Again, another advance, for
our self respect is made greater. In
Church attendance we meet the best of
folk and this ranks high in it's value to
us. These human contacts are the best
that can be made and so we grow by
contact with great souls.
We bow in Worship before the AL
mighty. This is good for our inner
qualities. 1t develops them as nothing
else can. The service itself, with great
music, uplifting hymns, the helpful pray
ers, the challenging sermon, all strike
deep roots into our best natures. Hope,
courage, comfort, are all drawn into our
lives and we grow stronger. The very
act of contemplation bids our eyes look
up that for days have looked down. Out
side the doors the same wearying world
COS on, inside the Voice of the Eternal
is given a chance to speak. The Voice
of God would ever speak to man if he
would but hear. The Love of Christ
would ever touch the heart of man
could it find entrance The Church and
Church going make these possible to all
who truly attend. Church going makes
straighter the Highway of our God.
By all means be an efficient person in
this very practical world, but do not
mistake this fact: You cannot be eff
cient and leave out the development of
the qualities of Heart, Soul, Spirit.
These are the qualities that Church at
tendance will and does build up.

SWIFTLY WE GROW
salinas Daily POST

California according to the Tax Digest,
has within its borders 69609 more persons than
in 1890 when the last census was taken. This
means that in six years our population has in
creased y per cent.
1t is interesting to pick up old Worlds
Almanac say 1910, and run your finger down
the list of states California, listed with 1885
053 persons, or scarcely more than half what one
single county boasts today
In 1920 we had 3426,861 By 1880 this had
jumped to 5,67725l. The Digest's figure for
1886 is 636786O
And thus California grows, more rapidly
than any other state in the union. Even New
York whose rate of increase is of course much
lower, was some $4,000 short of our l930-36
actual gain in individuals. And in rate of in
crease California topped even such sparsely set
tied states as Florida and Arizona, which were
second and third respectively. In actual num-
bers, of course. these two were not even in the
running.
Dry statistics, all this? Well, perhaps But
in them is reflected the whole gamorous story
of CALIFORNIA; meteoric rise TO a place in the
