Chapel Service

In response to the invitation Of
Mr.. j. Paul Slaybaugh, Hes dmaster
of West nottingham Academy, and
Dean of the Sunday School Teacher
Training School, being currently
held at North East, Maryland, and
in which they are associated, DR.. l..
Irving Insley, Rector of st. Mary
AIMS Episcopal Church of North
East. delivered an inspirational ad-
dress to regular Chapel Service on
November 8.
Rev. Insley based his address on
the theme that the joy of living
arises from the combination of vi
sion with a task. This results in
Courage with affords the zest OF
life He inferred the present day
chaos is existent in that men have
lost the vision of the ideal in CROP
ing for the tried realities OF the past
which when tested by time have
shown themselves to be transitory
in aspect. The men who gave us
this country were men of vision.
George Washington, in his Farewell
Address, devoted three times as
much material to revealing divine
power as to the warning to beware
of "entangling alliances. In basing
its foreign policy upon this hypo-
thesis, the United States is definitely
Sinking it's responsibility. 1t is not
a present day vision of World Ser
vice. without divine power our cause
could never have met with success.
Unfortunately, the advise Washing
ton gave us has been continuously
abused.
To the task vision must be appli-
ed. The analogy of two marble work
ers,- one of whom plies his trade
with vision. the other of whom chips
blindly away was employed effec-
lively by DR.. 'Insley to illustrate his
thought. When the man of vision
is finished, there is unveiled beaui-
full work of art. The man sans vi
sion is rewarded with only a door
step.
Vision combined with the task
leads to the joy of living. The test
of a mans life is the joy in it.
Courage will follow hand in hand.

Double Deck Bridge
Is To Go
Span Will Be Closed When
New Bridge 10 Completed

! 1t has been revealed that the
State Roads Commission plans to
close the present double-decker
bridge across the Susquehanna river
between Perryville and Havre de
Grace, on completion of the propos-
ed new structure across the river.
This information was made avail
able from prospectus issued by the
underwriters of $6,OOO,OOO State of
Maryland Bridge Revenue az DER
cent Bond issue, dated October /,
1889, advertised for sale. All the
bonds were quickly sold at the Offer
ed price of 80 per cent.
The statement issued made know
the fast that inasmuch as the
present bridge across the Susque-
hanna River at Havre de Grace ia
old and inadequate and requires the
expenditures of large sums for
maintenance and repairs, the Com
mission will close said bridge to
traffic and remove same forthwith
upon completion of the new Susque-
hanna river BRIDGE"
Us -.
No. 40, a modern four lane dual
highway between Baltimore and
Havre de Grace was completed in
1887. The State Roads Commission
will extend this highway by way of
the town of North East, by-passing
Elkton to the Maryland-De Delaware
line. The proposed new bridge across
the Susquehanna river Is an essent-
ial part of this plan of improvement,
as the existing bridge at Havre de
Grace is inadequate for present day
traffic and is poorly located. The
traffic on U. S. No. 40 which now
passes through the streets of Havre
de Grace and Perryville will be d.
verified from these streets. The site
of the new bridge is one-half mile
north of the old bridge.
The west approach to the propos-
ed bridge begins at the intersection
of the Governor Nice Highway ex-
tended and the Chapel road from
Havre de Grace to Bel Air. The east
approach to the bridge begins at
the Perryville-Aiken Road. The toll
plaza will be located between the
Perryyille-Aiken Road and the east
abutment.,
The Susquehanna River at the
site of the bridge is divided into two
channels by Garrett Island. The
bridge is made up Of west channel
crossing 2169 feet long, the Gar
rett Island crossing 1909 feet 8
inches long, and east channel 1,646
feet long, with a west approach sec.
ton 1,249 feet long, making a total
length of 1913 feet from abutment
to abutment. The highway approach
to the west abutment is LIS feet
long, and the highway approach to
the east abutment is 1873 feet 8
inches long, making the total length
of the bridge and approaches 10,361
feet 8 inches.
The bridge will provide a road
way As feet wide between curbs to
accommodate four lanes Of traffic
and in addition, two emergency foot
ways each 2 feet inches wide.
According to the report dated
October 49,, 1888 of the J. e.
Greiner company, Baltimore, con-
sulting engineers of the State Roads
Commission, the bridge can be COM
pleted by June 80, 1910.

AUGSBURG FALLS BEFORE
GLOBE TROTTERS, 41-32
By Frank Diam ond

The Harlem Globe Trotters, profess
sional Negro basketball team, made its
annual Minneapolis stand at the Ar
mory Thursday night against Augs-
burg college. AS usual the Trotters
were on the long end of a al to 81
count with another one of their ster-
ling ball handling exhibitions, but it
took little Augsburg guard, Henry
Chapman to walk off with the major
proportion of the cheers from the $500
spectators.
The mighty mite" of the state col
lege conference did what few basket
bali players, professional or amateur
have been able to do against the Trot-
ters-score at will.
Chapman, playing his third year on
the Augsburg varsity, took the play
away from his more experienced op-
ponents by popping in angle shots,
straight buckets and close in heaves to
keep his mates in the ball game.
The Trotters, consisting of the same
season. Louis Priestly, Rock Anderson,
Harry Rusan, Bill Ford and Ted
Strong, drew round after round of APP
plause with their amusing baseball and
football games on the cage floor.
Harry Rusan, little forward was
their best scoring threat totaling seven
times from the field.
Augsburg from Captain Hoyt Mes
serer down were much improved five
over Gully Swanson's last year aggre-
cation. They had speed to burn and
were ably directed by Messerer.

NEAL APPEAL HEARD IN
ST. LOUIS

The appeal of w. Squire Neal, prom.
inent local undertaken, was argued In
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals Wed
nesday, in St. Louis, Mo.
According to Attorney Harry S
Swenson, Minneapolis, the principal
case in which John Neal, brother oi
Squire, was sentenced to serve fifteer
years in federal prison, was outside the
jurisdiction of Federal courts, and
therefore Squire could not be held as
an accessory in such courts.
Mr.. Neal had been found guilty o.
concealing $5,903 in a golf bag, anc
committing felony by altering re-
cords of the Neal Funeral Home.
1t is believed in the better informed
legal circles here, that Mr. Neal has
an excellent chance to win his case
