A good place to start today Is IN
Holtville by offering praise to Coacf
Ben Palmgren for the efficient
MANAGEMENT of the annual Holt
Vile RELAYS. And while on the
subject Of the Holtville relays, we
offer this suggestion.
Hoitvine could add to the reputa-
ton of the relays by providing

winners in each event Mer-
chants Of all cities would probably
cooperate to aid in providing the
medals.
Several coast schools dropped
out of the meet this year when
more attractive events we're sche-
duled on the same date. BY
ADDING medals and ribbons for in
dividual winners, coast schools
could be attracted to the meet ano
the relays would develop into one
of the finest meets in southern
California.
1t seems we're always plugging
Herb Browns bowling feats. . But
the other evening Herb had 766
series with games of 266-268-232
incidentally 745 is the highest scored
which has been bowled in the pres
ent national tournament. Brown
also averaged 22e for eight games
on the same evening.

enough and to spare, and l perish
with hunger" He first thought of
his physical loss, forgetting the fact
that he had hurt a loving father and
had lost his character. However,
there was enough repentance in him
to afford God a chance. He came
to himself when he discovered his
lost condition.
V. 18. II will arise and go to my
father, and will say unto him, Faith
er, have sinned against heaven and
before thee" In the final analysis
all sin is against God, for it robs
souls of God. Again we see the
freedom of choice in the words, Il
will arise" Here is seen the under
lying element Of saving faith, name
ly, that of agreeing with God in say
ing Il will'' to God.
v. 10. "And am no more worthy
to be called thy son; make me as
one of thy hired servants" There
is hope for one who having sinned
becomes humble. So long as one
excuses himself for wrong-doing,
there is little hope of divine help.
V. 20. "And he arose, and came
to his father, But when he was yet
a great way off, his father saw him
and had compassion on him, and
ran, and fell on his neck and kissed
him." Gods eye of love follows ev-
cry one of his wandering children.
Note that he came direct to the
father We may have access direct
ly to the throne of grace. This gives
us picture of God, full of love and
compassion.
" 21. And the son said unto the
father, I have sinned against heav-
en-, and in thy sight am no more
worthy to be called thy son." Since
all sin is against God, it is most ter
rible.
VS.. %, "a But the father said
to his servants, bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him; and put
ring on his right hand, and shoes
on his feet; and bring hither the
fatted calf, and kill it, and let us
eat and be merry;for this my son
was dead, and is alive again; he
was lost and is found. And they be-
gan to be merry. Here was an eX-
preston of divine love to all SIN
ners. 1t is almost too good to be-
lieve that God has great welcome
for any sinner.

NEW s. II. OFFICE BUILDING
AND ROAD DEDICATION

November 1 9Th has been accepted
as the date for the dedication of the
new office building and road open
ing on S. r. Z below Marietta to be
known as the "Sky Line Drive.
State Highway Director Sours will
be present and officially accept the
new home for the division offices at
Marietta, also to cut the tape on one
of the most beautiful drives in Ohio,
in the afternoon.
For years S. R. 7, below Marietta,
has been an expensive maintenance
problem for the base was such that
the general slip continually bother
ed with no permanent remedy for
the condition. Borings were made
at a depth of over 40 feet, or some
20 feet below Ohio river bed and
these showed no stable foundation,
only silt, clay and muck. For this
reason a relocation was imperative.
Of five bids submitted the low was
offered by l.. T. Cisler and Son, and
Merry e Cisler. Their bid was
$513,679.06.
l.. T. Cisler & Son, of Marietta
did the paving while Merry & Cisler
of Caldwell did the grading, which
consisted of the moving Of over
100000 cubic yards of which over
$50 was rock. Walter ]. Elliott,
contractor of this place, received a
sub-contract from Merry & Cisler,
to put in the four large culverts, at
a price of $4,000.
The state highway department
availed itself in this case with the
federal funds which were set up in
congress for control and repair of
damages to roads caused by floods,
earthquakes, landslides, and other
natural catastrophes.
The road, which took over %
months to complete, is % feet in
width except at the Marietta end at
Mile Run, where it is 43 feet wide.
Slopes and shoulders are seeded
with a mixture of Perennial Rye
Grass, Kentucky Blue Grass, Hairy
Velch, and Yellow Sweet Glover.
The road was opened for travel
October 10th, although there was
yet some finishing work to be done
This approach to Marietta adds
much to the beautiful scenery of
the Ohio river and answers the
problem Of the decided increase in
traffic on this road.
