With the approach of the fall
season, when numerous events will
be listed to take place, as we'll as
the approach of the coming politi-
cal campaign, the State Highway
Department is calling attention to
the existing law concerning the
placing of advertising matter along

In brief the existing regulations
provide that the placing of adver-
tising matter on poles, trees or any
other place on or along the right
of way Of public highway or road
is illegal.
The department is calling atten-
tion to law enacted by the 1889
session of the Legislature which
became effective on January l, 1910
and still remains in effect. This
law directed the State Highway De-
partment to make and enforce reg

only as Jesus Christ directs the

tiOns, churches, and individuals
can there be one world" declared
the Rev. Hugh McHenry Miller in
the sermon Sunday morning in the
First Presbyterian Church. Mr..
Miller. who is pastor of the First
Memorial Presbyterian Church in
Dover, N. j., preached on Report
from Two Worlds" He and Mrs.
Miller, formerly Minerva Burn of
this place, and their three small
sons, returned in June from a year
of study and travel in Europe.
Mr.. Miller reported that one of
the most impressive world facts
after almost a year abroad is that
this is a time of divisions" He
pointed to the devastating divisions
among nations, in the church, and
between and among individuals. He
told of the growing divisions
among nations caused by the in
crease of natiOnalism since the end
of World War II describing the de-
bate he witnessed in the House of
Commons in London and expert
ences during observation in the
Italian elections. 1T is now clear
that the Communists are again at
tempting to rally all who oppose
these new natiOnalistic and neo-
fascist movements into sO-called
democratic fronts even as they did
in joining with the free world
against fascism in the recent war.
Only too often our Strengthening
present governments plays right
into their plans" Mr.. Miller said.
