Notwithstanding Is
Completed

The congregation of st. Matthews
Episcopal church will begin worship
services in the Garrett Memorial
Presbyterian church, starting Sunday
morning, December 3, it was announc-
ed this morning by Rev. David c.
Trimble, rector.

by the Presbyterians here in over a

of the Episcopal church have been
worshiping for eight months in the
year in the church Parish House,
Center street, and in their church
building on Fourth street, near the
high school, during the summer per-
iod. The agreement between both
groups is being looked upon as mu-
tually helpful.

tor.

SPECTACLE FUND GROWS;
80 AIDED DURING THE YEAR
Some Children Would Have Lost
Vision Had They Not Been
Assisted

AS the result of the interest of one
woman in Oakland in obtaining funds
for eye glasses for children whose
parents could not afford to buy them,
and through the cooperation Of the
County Health Department and num-
erous citizens of the county, a cru
SADIE for this purpose has been started
for the second consecutive year and
is meeting with much success, accord
ing to DR.. H. R. DuPuy, health officer.
ficer.
About a year ago Mrs. j. ]. Ashby
sought information from DR.. DuPuy
about money available for eye glasses
for the children. When she found
there was no fund for this purpose she
began seeking contributions from var
ious groups and individuals and in the
course of few weeks total of 1921
was raised. Names of these contribu-
tors were published in The Republican
at that time, the local lodge Knights of
Pythias contributing $110.
Through the assistance of the We'll
fare Board 26 pairs of glasses were
given to those who were greatly in
need of them. When the fund was ex-
hausted, the American Red Cross car
ried on the work and at least six per-
sons were furnished glasses through
that organization.
Mrs. Ashby and others are again Oh
their crusade for better vision. As q
result the following contributions have
been made: Knights of Pythias, $500;
Eastern Star, SIS; anonymous, S.. Joe
G. May, who collected SCI last year
also made his rounds through the
county this year and turned $58 into
the fund.
DR.. DuPuy stated that without the
glasses some of the children would
have lost the vision in at least one
eye.

SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS ARE
ADVISED OF ATTRACTIONS
Told They Must Not Take Ad-
vantage of Bus Regulations

A warning that school bus drivers
must not ''take advantage of the
school bus law" at the expense of
other motorists, has been sent to F. E.
Rathbun, County Superintendent of
Schools, by W. Lee 'Elgin, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles.
Elgin said complaints had been re-
ceived that bus drivers had halted
their vehicles on the highways for
five minutes or more waiting for chill
dren to leave their homes. This re-
suits in delay to motorists who COM
ply with the law requiring them to
halt while the buses take on or dis
charge passengers, he said.
The Commissioner also said some
drivers had violated the State law by
stopping their buses "at the brow of a
hill, opposite white line, or in the
middle of a bad curve" Another COM
plant was that the bus drivers parked
their buses on the highway while they
went into store or ran other errands,
thus tying up traffic when it was I'M
necessary.
Mr.. Elgin's letter was copied at the
office of the Board of Education and
sent to all bus drivers and contractors
in the county.
The letter urges the bus drivers to
cooperate with the public so that mo-
florists will respect the school bus law
