Christmas
Play

THE town hall was wreathed with
l. holly and mistletoe. Bright red
bells hung from the old-fashioned
chandeliers. Christmas candles sent
their soft glow into the night. The
whole place cried out welcome to
the crowd who thronged through the
doors.
BY eight o'clock every seat was
occupied. Small gossip and muir
murs of expectancy ran through the
crowd. The little town was proud
of the boy who was taking the lead
ing part in the play. They had
known Ted Rawlings all their lives,

Parkway Drawing
Many Visitors
Report Shows Nearly 100000
Visited Scenic This Sum-
mer And Fall.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-More
than 100000 persons visited the
Blue Ridge parkway during the
past summer and fall, according
to estimates based on part time
traffic counts by the national
park service. Of this total, 147,-
900 visitors in $4,000 cars were
counted on the 5O-mile long Vlr-
ginia sections of the parkway
south from Bent Mountain to U.
IS. highway So at the Meadows OF
IDcn. ii
A total of $4,000 automobiles
carried 100000 persons along the
scenic drive in North. Carolina
from the state line south to
Boone, while $500 cars ventured
on other portions of the parkway
development less advanced as to
construction and scattered through
the Blue Ridge mountains in both
states. A periodic check on the
number Of parkway visitors was
made at various connections with
important highways on Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays during the
season and on occasional week
days.
Parkway authorities expressed
much satisfaction with the public
interest in the work as shown by
the census. While traffic was
maintained over total distance
CT 100 miles of the parkway dur
ing most of the summer, the new
highway was not fully completed
and was operated on the travel
at your own risk" basis under re-
duced speed limits.
Paving operations in North
Carolina were underway until
late August, necessitating one
way traffic past the oiling work
which discouraged use in that
state until late summer.
The results of this first count
of traffic indicate, the park SER
vice said, that a substantial use OF
the parkway may be expected be-
ginning next spring when 40 con-
tinuous miles will be surfaced.

HE BECAME PRESIDENT
Near North Hartland, Vernon

Near North Hartland, Vermont,
boy was born on a farm. He
MIXED and fed the cows and
horses, and pitched hay in the
summer time. His consuming am
bition was to be a doctor. But
there wasn't much chance, for
his family was poor and he little
opportunity for an education. His
name was Daniel Willard.
Finally the family raised en-
ough money to send him to school.
because it required less prepara-
ton and cost less. But that was
all right 1t was school. 1t was a
start. He pitched in with desper-
ate earnestness.
The light of the coal oil lamp
was poor, but he turned the wick
higher and kept on studying.
Finally, his eyesight became So
poor he could no longer read. So
he had to leave his cherished
school. Back at farm work again.
But he was not going to give up.
The Central Vermont Railway
cut across the corner of his
fathers farm. AS the boy looked
up from his blowing he could see
the train roaring by. One day, as
he stood watching it, he resolved
to be a railroad man.
But the railroad offices were
far away and he had no money,
so he went to the section boss and
applied for a job. The section boss
looked him over and gave him a
job swinging a pick and shovel.
This meant ten hours day and
the pay was nine cents an hour.

He made a rule that changed
the course of his life. And this
was to do a little more than he
was paid to do. He found that the
section boss had trouble making
out his reports. The section boss
could swing a spike sledge and
flirt crowbar, but a penstock
was something different. The boy
saw this and offered to stay after
hours in the evening to help the
section boss with his figures. To
the section boss, adding column
of figures was worse than running
handcar up grade. He appreciat-
ed the boys help.
Then word came to the section

The first Santa Claus was St. Mich

mysterious midnight gift-bearing
journeys. In the Fourth century he
was famous because he was a rich
man who enjoyed giving secret gifts
to the poor. One of his tricks was
to throw purses of gold into cottage
windows and run away.
