Horse Compony's
| 18th Anniversary
Forgotten in YuIe

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WOODLAND, Va, Dec. $3.50
merry was Christmas for the few
remaining members of the historic
WoodlaWn Horse Company that they
completely forgot to meet for the
celebration of their 18th anniversary.
1t was only when two of the
members were notified by telephone
that they suddenly remembered the
added significance Christmas Day
has for them.
For it was IS years ago that q
group of Virginia citizens banded
together to nab horse thieves who
were plying their trade in the area
during the Civil War. But as the
horse gave way to the automobile
members of the company gradually
confined its activities to those of
social nature after first trying their
luck in the apprehension of auto
mobile thieves.
, During recent years the company
has been meeting annually.
Members of the company include
Bert Harrison, Groveton; George
Gillingham and j. c. Cox. both Of
Woodlawn; Will Halle of Lorton
and A. Harmon Roberts OF Col
chester.

structed during period OF six years

pended for 12,702 new or improved

The Federal Government supplied
s48l ,526,508 Of the expenditures in
the form OF outright grants. In
addition the P. w. A. made loans
Of 500, 106,079. All the other ex-
penses Of the school program were
met by towns, counties and States.
But for the P. w. A. construction
program, it was said, the Nations
schools would not now be so far
advanced. School construction fell
from 1929 average of 1898, 900 900
to $A 100000 in 1888. From this
low mark there was q recovery by
1898 with 1898 100000 worth Of con-
struction, or 70 per cent OF the five
year average.
Colleges Also Benefited.
The P. w. A. program ranged
from tiny $500 addition to school
in Colorado to Philadelphia city

ing nearly s20,000,000. DR.. John w.

sioner of education, announced that

erected. The P. w. A. contributed
the total amount In loans and
grants.
Virginia was able to build $685.
436,566 worth of new school facili-
ties, whereas in Maryland the con-
struction totaled sl5,25O,O62.

undertake a preliminary survey fr the purpose of showing in more detail the existing deficienc .es and lack of economic balance of Seward Peninsula. This pre- liminary survep should pave the way to more specific studies to be carried out by various Federal and Territorial agencies as sug gested above.
 On motion it was unanimously carried.
 The following week was spent by MT. A. Polet in studying with the staff ef the Alaska Planning Council fer the purpose of laying the foundation for the study which will take place the first part of July.
 Dr. H. A. Bauer, Consultant to the Alaska Planning Council and under direct employ of the Ma tional Resource Committee of Washington will take charge of the Economic Survey of the Sec ond Division. He probably will have an office with the Alaska Road Commission as MT. Ike Fay Tor, President of the Alaska Road Commission is Chairman of the Alaska Planning Council.

 elf-SuppOrting

It is strange that while the Second Division has been organ ized for over forty years, Nome is still the only incorporated city.
 The first ten years manifested a remarkable growth. Thirty or more towns were established with school houses, with one or more mercantile establishments of all classes, postoffice, hotels and population that was grow ing and progressive. Today these same towns have lost most of their population. Business estab- lishmentS have been reduced to a minimum, buildings with a very few exceptions,are badly in need of repair and all signs of painting entirely worn off. Gen orally the towns show lack of civic pride; mo one cares, and there is no one to look after the streets, alleys, or sanitation. Re gently the Territorial inspectors of the Department of Health have begun their visits, to what benefit at this time it is difficult to predict. If they are to be ex-

tended to remote places, enccu- ragament of local self-govern- ment in our smaller communities is essential. l, therefore, urge the Council and other Territorial as well as interested Federal agenc- .es to cooperate in an educational campaign to that end While the advantages should be evident, it is difficult to get the residents of these small communities to preceiVe them.
