SCHOOL I County Asks For Traffic Signal A check of traffic on Route 113 near Whiskeyville was conduct ed by the sheriff's department this week. County Commission' ers have asked the state high' way department to erect a traffic light at the intersection of 113 and 58. The traffic survey of the sheriff's department, while not primarily for this purpose, was expected to help the commls-sioner's plea. The need for a traffic light at this intersection has long been recognized by many Amherst motorists, and has been the topic of editorial comment by the News-Times on two occasions. Traffic wishing to cross Route 113 frequently must do so at great hazards. Traffic going east and west on 113 travels at con siderable speed. Frequently cars are spaced at such distances that a wait of several minutes is nec essary before a break In the traf fic will permit cars to cross. The situation Is especially bad for north bound traffic on Route B8. A bend In Route 113 just west of the crossing makes it impos- sible to see oncoming traffic until It Is nearly at the Intersection. War Relief Tea Next Wednesday Actual present day conditions in England will be graphically told those who attend the British War Relief Tea sponsored by the Ladles' Society of the Congregational Church. The tea will be given next Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The speaker who will tell of conditions in Eugland will come from the British Councelor office In Cleveland.

Dear Sir: Your first copy of The Amherst News-Times to my new address has arrived and I appreciate very much the service you are rendering. Your paper is of great help especially when one, like myself in recent months, changes stations as often as I, for no sooner have I settled in one place when orders are issued relieving me from same and ordering me to another. Since my return from Panama I have been at four different places. This covers only the the vacant lot in Park-av. A drawing in connection with the sale of the stamps will be held. Tickets entitling the holder to a Defense Stamp prize of 25 cents to $5 will be deposited in a huge box, together with a number of blank tickets. Each purchaser of a 25 cent stamp will be allowed to draw a ticket from the box. One draw for each 25 cent stamp bought will be allowed, but a limit of eight draws, or the purchase of $2 in Defense Stamps will be permitted at one time. The box will contain 384 free 25 cent stamp prizes, 46 free 50 cent stamp prizes, and 10 $1 stamp prizes. If the purchaser draws a blank ticket he wins nothing. If how- short period of four months.

Cooks Become Farmers, And Farmers Learn Good Manners At School Don't think your eyes gone bad, or your mind is failing you . . . If you happen to pass the schojl, and notice Carl Deeds, agriculture teacher, out in the sch )ol yard digging around in the shrubbery with a group of girls. Or if you happen to be in the basement of the school and peek Into the domestic science rcora and see Miss Roth giving b ys a demonstration of good mauners . . . you're still all right, it's really a case of the classes being mixed up. Mr. Deeds and Miss Roth, each believing that the other class have could benefit from the instruction oi me one, nave exenangea sopno- We Visit the City and . . . . . . Realize an Ambition By Mrs. F. R. Powers It was an all-wise Father, who when he put the world together and set his creatures upon it, decreed that multiformity should be the motif of his handiwork. What a dismal world this would be if only one kind of flower grew in the garden, if everybody looked alike and wore the same clothes. Why, you could never be sure which was your own husband or children or dog or cat, and I don't know as it would really make any difference you'd probably end up by either going Insane or dying of ennui anyway. Very early in the history of mankind men and women began to notice this tendency towards a diversity of tastes in their fellow men and to respect it. Yea, they even rejoiced in it and used it is a topic of conversation. It made good small talk along with the weather. And as the years rolled on men got in the way of describing the situation in words that made sage proverbs and terse homely epigrams. "Variety's the spice of life." I believe Mr. Cowper said. that. "One man's meat is another man's poison," is earthier, but every whit as descriptive and I don't know who originated it. There must be dozens of other proverbs and quotations designed to express this same truth, but I hadn't known of the existence of one that set forth this business of antiques so pertinently until I overheard it being uttered by a patron of the Cleveland An tlques Show last week. "What's one man's trash is another man's gold," he said to the man stand' ing beside him. And I could tell by the way he spoke the words and the happy contented smile upon his face, that all the lovely old objects arranged on shelves and tables about him would qualify for the "gold" class, as far as he was concerned. And straightway I thought of the old mountaineer woman. "Them young'uns took all the nice things like the iron bedsteads," she had said, "they's nothln' left but them de things that's been kickln' aroun' here ever since afore grandpappy's time." If she lives to be a hundred, and she's liable to, she'll never understand the workings of the mind of a woman who would give her good money in. exchange for a pile of "trash." The people in a community who love to surround themselves with (Continued on page Four) more groups this week. The girls are being taught how to take care of grass, how to plant flowers, the matter of ground fertility for vegetables, how and where to plant shrubbery, and other subjects of a like nature. "The girls need this kind of in struction just as much as the boys, perhaps even more so," said Mr. Deeds. And the boys, maybe you think they're being taught how to make biscuits, or bake a cake or boil potatoes, but you're wrong, way far wrong. That isn't it at all. Miss Roth is putting some polish on them, teaching them good manners, what to do when they are out courting girls, how to behave when they've accompanied a young lady to a restaurant. The switching of these classes is an experiement this year. Whether it will be continued depends upon the results. Last Fire Trap Now Removed The last of six buildings In Amherst, condemned as Are traps, has heen torn down and the property cleaned up, through the efforts of Mayor John H. Michael. The most recent building to he removed was the old ice house that stood In hack of the Redman saloon.

All six of the condemned fire traps have now heen razed. General Chairman Of Gym Committee Elmer Schacht, R. D. 1, South Amherst, has been named general chairman in the campaign for a new gymnasium now under way a t Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio, it was announced this week.

Jay Gillette Honored Cy Firemen Tuesday Fireman Jay Gillette joined the ranks ot retired firemen Tuesday night when his gold honorary badse was presented him by Chief A. G. Stlwald. Gillette completed his 25 years of service In the de partment last spring. He was high ly complimented by the chief for his loyalty and faithful service to the department, and his depend ability in answering alarms and other calls ot the department upon his services in practice, Inspection and other occasions. The department voted to buy hunker pants for the members. These are a special firemen's pants, of heavy treated canvass with flannel llnglng, that a lire-man can jump into at night while still wearing his pajamas. Small fire extinguishers for the cars of members will also be bought After the business meeting refreshments were served in honor ot the retiring member. of Embarkation, from there I went to Fort Hamilton, New York, back to Brooklyn Army Base, thence to Fort Hayes, Col-1 umbus, Ohio, where I remained for almost two months, and now my last and present station, the West Virginia Military Area, Charleston, West Virginia. At this place I hope to stay for at least three months. You have, or have not, wondered why I receive mail at a civilian address. The reason is, there are no army units in or near Charleston, W. Virginia. It being impractical for the government to furnish rations and quarters, we are paid a monetary allowance of $2.35 per day. With sergeant's rating, including the $10 bonus now. drawn by all service men with over one year service, this makes a monthly total of $140 per month. I have noticed, as anyone in the service after a short period of time will, that you have been carrying articles on soldiers from and around Amherst. To me they are all very interesting and I would like to read more and longer articles about men now in service. It would be nice to know as to how they like service, what they are doing,, where they are stationed, and things of this nature. I've been around Amherst but seven days in the last two and a half years, this being divided be tween the four separate times that I've been home since my re turn to the United States, and I didn't have time for information in regard to men called to ser vice. I know few of the boys and any news concerning them is greatly appreciated. I'm staying at a boarding house and the rules of same are put to effect here too. One of the girls just received a dose of nice cool refreshing water. A day passes not without someone developing a brainstorm. I may say a little concerning Charleston. The Kanawha River runs thru the city. Along this river are located the large cheml cal industries for which the city la known. Charleston is spread out and covers a large area along the river. The hills on both sides form a beautiful background and for those who like nature it Is worth seeing. Thanking you for the trouble you must have had in getting the Amherst News-Times to me, and also for the copies you sent, I remain DEZSO GRESZLER, Sergeant DEML Corp. Hq. W. Va.
