From a state standpoint, the Central high way is probably the most important project under consideration, but in importance with it is the highway be tween Hickory and Lenoir. ,lo!ni X. IJohannon said today that he was on the home stretch in his road v.M'h, having only a mile and a half of leiicrete to lay between Newton and the railroad track at Conover. He has completed his job from the , Burke vouiity line to Conover and the Union paving Company is busy between Oy aiua and Highland, where only a mile needed to be laid to complete the lvad from Oyama to the city limits. This company will begin laying as phalt in West Hickory in about two wrrks. .More trucks will be put on the job as soon as possible and the big plant in Highland will turn out the asphalt for both ends of the project. Mr. I'.ohannon will be through by the 1,'th of December and the Union Pav ing Company ought to follow about the first of the "year. Serious Neglect Oisctissing the Central highway, the liiceiisboio News said editorially to- di"The Hickory Record remarks that 'It if, just about time something is be- it done aodUl iwo more iini in mr uiitral higsway that from Newton to the Catawba river and that lrom the i riwT to .Stutesville. it mere s any chance of putting that over, it should not be ove rlookrd.'

' t ' , Allied with this link in the Central highway is the Hickory-Blowing Ilock highway, which is not getting the attention it deserves. Taking the tourist travel out of consideration and that is a big consideration, to be sure this highway is the most impor tant piece of road to a large section, bown the mountains must come the wagon and trucks that bring pros perity to the residents there. A hun dred "industrial villages and towns are waiting to be served with their pro duce. In Caldwell county many new indus trial plants are being built and traf fic between Hickory and Granite Falls is becoming greater each day. The sand day road is getting , harder t j keep in repair owing to the increased travel. (iet This Road Now n. tw.on Hiekorv and the river, some three miles, is an important link that I TcX concerns lucKory arm cttawu , and the state less curecuy. in event this link is important in the scheme to develop the mountain sec ion. If Hiekorv business men want this stretch of road built, all they need to do is put the claim forward in e proper mariner, and it is assured. The state highway commission, the Rec "il is sure, realizes the tremendous , importance of this link, It built, the state would desire to extend the hard nuface on to Lenoir and here is where Lenoir people should get inter ested. These two projects-the New-tori-StateHville highway and the short link in the Hickory-Lenoir highway should receive consideration at the hands of Hickory business interests, and steps should be taken to cooperate with all organizations in this section to I'lifiK their building to, pass.; , S h the Associated Press.'' v Wusldvgtoni tiov. 18.

Rich mond News-Leader. , e Here For m Weeks Cited may be mentioned first, the develop-, ment of the . spirit of . team work. The experience of the war taught us a paramount lesson, namely, that any thing can be accomplished as the re sult of. cooperation. So long as England, France, Belgium and the United h States failed to co operate through a clearing house rep resenting the allied countries, team 'work. Was" impossible. and success was negative. Then an allied cbuncil waff formed and the war won. So it is in our community life, 'constructive re sults ;;can: be . secured only through team work, with the" co-operation on the part of citizens and "organizations. Community spirit is dependent upon united action. Social - and civic prog less are the result of the. appreciation of ;the value Of Worki ng together. Second, the development of a sense of individual responsibility. If team work Is to be successful every link in the, chain must be secure, in other words, team work implies that each in dividual assume a responsibility and meet it. As Community service is de pendent upon team work, team work depends in turn upon the sense of duty which each citizen feels in sacrificing energy, strength and money to meet social and civic obligations which look toward the upbuilding of the com munity. - ' - Third, Community service as a clear ing house develops community spirit. When a man begins to work for his community, unselfishly he becomes at once a' defender 'of its best traditions. If a man del; not -give to the life of his community, he remains isolated and the lack of human relationship dwarfs his very soul. ' f Fourth, '.Community service as a clearing house for community interests develops : good will not only between groups but the members of each group. This indeed- is - one i; of the chief by products' of Community "service, , since thereby. ' th nioyement makes Com munity service larger than any single Community i or county 'and becomes a national asset. f The greatest problem which faces America today is the condition which we speak of as unrest. We mean . 'that .. unrest' which is destructive and which comes as the Result of iidlepess,; lack of occupation and . lack of vision. Unrest is the re sult of the failure '5f our community life? to furnish proper understanding of ourselves and each other as citizens. The iwo rW War waS the result of both basic1 ;and exciting causes. At least one of the basic causes was the lack of uftidejf'statiding1 between nations as to aimand ideals as the result of se cret diplomacy. ' ' . "Where good vill is lacking in com munity ilife it detracts from mutual respect iand understanding on Ihe iwirt of citizehB arid 'upon the part of ;nl social interests. -On the other h.urwl. where there' is mutual resnect and un derstanding, unrest is seldom in evi dence. ' ' ; . ' Thereforef in each community it is 'essentialvand it is a dutyfb establish'a clearing house through which mutual "understanding may be developed in or der to keep our social fabric intact. By the Associated Press. ., New York, Nov. 18. George Cle menceau, the French "Tiger," who came to this country for the first time more than 50 years ago to "V-ee what republic "really looks like," is back in town again. He dropped in en New York from Paris today, ready to start out on a lecture tour of America, but lie will remain here a little while first, for he has a number of old metropolitan acquaintances to renew some oi" them ! with persons, but more, perhaps, with streets and places," and familiar old land-marks which he learned to know - . and to revere while yet a boy. The maker and breaker of minis teries, as Clemeneau has come ti be known because of the tremendous power he once held in the political affairs of his country, is here on his own hook and unofficially to present the case of France to the American people, and this he will do in the languages of the masses, for hot only does he speak English, but he speaks real American English flawlessly and without effort. He is a master of our idiom and has kept up with American slang for more than five decades. Live In New York 1 I It was back in 186G that vour.g Dr. Clemenceau', just turned 25, first stepped ashore in New York. His meagre wardrobe spoke eloquently of his poverty, but the case of shiney new surgical instrument?, his only other- possession, held his future or . se he thought at the time. Back of him, he believe!, lay his political career, which was not. much f'? boast- of. He. lia,' .eryt-i..a -short iermin'pfison'fbr activfties in behalf 1 of the Republic, and had b?en invited to Seave France ; for failing to resist further temptations along the same line upon gaining his freedom. After all, he concluded, the medical profes sion, which had supported six genera tions of Clemenceaus before him, was superior to ipolitics. v- Promised a small monthly remit tance from his father, the future war premier of France established himself in what is now the Green wich Village section .of New York ani began to practice .medicine. Hi.? field was the large French population then living around Washington Square, and while, he succeeded indifferently well in obtaining patients, his collections fell hopelessly below his needs. ' This prompted him to communicate with the Paris Temps, for which he subsequently wrote a .series uf bril liant letters describing conditions in America. This correspondence bolster ed up his income to a certain extent, but the remittancees from heme had stopped in the meantime, hence he still was in the mashes of ,poverty. Forced to strike out on a different tack, he ' obtained a position in a labaratory, where he remained for two years, the. happiest ones of his life, he said not ; long , ago. Libraries were not used much In those days, and the young Frenchman had ample time to seclude himself among the books, reading the best philosophers and his torians while perfected his English. "There my mind acquired what it lackedand my intellect completed its formation,"! he wtbte yieaprs after ward. r . In the evenings the young student would invariably be found at Pfaf f 's, a famous old German restaurant in Lower Broadway.-where in the early sixties met the little - group of cele brities presided over bv, Henry Clapp. The days of Fritz James O'Brien.. Walt Whitman, George Arnold a.nd Charles Dawson Shanley at Pf af f 's; were gone but there still was an atmosphere pf romance about ' the place that attracted a younger genera tion of intellectuals, and to this cot erie Georges. Clemenceau- was intro- ' duced. A few months, before he had writ ten to the- Temips that 'Americans had -no 5 general' ideas ' and no geed coffee." But now all this was changed. The chief at Pf af f 's -was the most marvelous cook extant." be wrote, and the coffee brewed2 there was sub lime. Ideas, too. he found aplenty. He grew to love . New " York, and even applied for citizenship napers. f Traveled. A Little ; Once" he was tempted to do a little traveling in the New World.
