I- V y i '( : Civilian I Rehabilatatioh ' The State of North Carolina and the Federal Government not only are trying to take care of those who were wounded and incapacitated in the late war from practicing some occupa tion inthe giving of Vocational training but jvow has instituted through the State College at Raleigh what they call the civi lian rehabilitation. This is the taking of those who have been hurt or rendered incapable of practicing their usual vocations because of accident or from birth made incapable of doing something to support them and teaching them some trade or oc cupation which will render them capable of working and support ing themselves. There are scattered all over the state some who are not able to do much and many times to live are forced to beg. HoweveiLthrough this depart ment of the state, they are ta ken and in a short time by be ing taught to do some thing, they are able to jtake their place as useful citizens and produc t i v e factors in the common wealth,'... ., x Under the Department of Pu blic Instruction their has been organized .this State Board of Vocational Instruction - which ia&es a cnppie or some, mma person and helping them to worki teaching them a trade, helping them to get the use of the limbs or furnishing them in some cases limbs where these have been lost, they are enabl ed to do and work. Last Monday Mr H. L. Stan ton, the Supervisor of Industrial Rehabilitation was in Marshall and meeting a few who might form a committee, who would have this in charge for Madison County explained the work of this Board and organized a com mitttee who would look out for the interests of those who might need it in this county. n This board has at its disposal a sum of money which can be spent in giving this .training to worthy ones. There are in Ma dison many who might be help ed if only they might be given the chance. The sum is not a freat one and the Board cannot go to great expense but they are willing to, do what they can. Sometimes for a short time in the cases where it, is ' needed, they will defray the expense of hoard and other expense but this is in only a few cases. How ever oftentimes ..the agencies which can help wijl .beTcalled into action and the committee will then ask tfie state to help out with this. Some times it is by lending the money necessary until enough can be made to pay back. , More and more , the state is coming to realize that it is grea ter charity to, teach a trade or a way to make a living than to support by outright gifts. True charity is that which gives only until the recipient can return it by work. It is , better to show how to work and make a living than to give the living forever. This is what in this Board of Vocational Instruction the state is trying to do. The committee Was organized composed as fol lows. ; . - "' , John A, Hendricks, Chairman 7. E.

' - : People Cocke County And The Dixie ' Highway. Editor of The Citizen: I notice in The Citizen on Aug ust the 19th., a news article re lative to a proposed charge in the routing of the Dixie Highway, to come by Greeneville, Tenn., and to intersect at Paint Hock, etc., instead of via Newport, Tenn., in this artile it is stated that the demand to make this change has become insistent "In the face of continued failure on the part of Cocke County. Tenn , to im prove, the Dixie Highway runn ing via Newport to Knoxville." And again in another statement in the news item, you say: 'Agi tation over this question has been going on for 'many months, the Greeneville representatives, seek ing a routing, via their city since Cocke County has failed to carry improvements in keeping with the nature of such an important Highway, etc " Now there, is a wrong impression prevailing in the minds of the people outside of Cocke County, Tenn., in regard to this improvement in that coun ty, that needs to be corrected For many months, and even years there as. Beejumuch- -criticism, and censure, and blame heaped upon the people of that County for the continued failure of this road being improved. As a citi zen, as a taxpayer, and as a member of the County Court of that County, I am unwilling to allow these continued and pre 8istent criticisms, to pass un noticed. It is not now and has nobeen the fault of Cocke Coun ty, are the people of Cocke Coun ty, that this road has not been improved, but it is the fault, wholly, of the State Highway Commission of Tennessee that it has not been done. The money is available now, and has been available all the while, to pay the County's part in building this road. ' More than three years ago Cocke County, by a popular vote appropriated $37,000 to pay the County's part in the construction of this road and this money lay in the bank, for that purpose, for about two years. As ,; is known this road was taken over by the State Highway Commission of Tennessee, as a State and Fede ral aid project, to be built by the State Highway Commission as such, and that Commission ' sent a State engineer to make the survey. He with a whole party of engineers were on the job for months, and months very much d i s g u 8 1 e d; so long that our people b c a m e the chief engineer of the State Highway Commission, admitted, as pub- ishedin the Knoxville papers. that he had lost sight of his man, that is, had forgotten '..him. "Fi nally the field work on this pre- iminary survey was finished, and we were told that just as soon as the work could be done in the office that is the plans, profiles, specifications and estimates were made up, they would be ready to contract. Finally after , months and months, we. were told that the $37,000 was not enough to pay the County's part, and that we would have to cough up more1 money. So in May, 1921, the County Court of Cocke Connty, voted $300,000 to pay the County's part, end of these bonds were ec!3, f-J d:t:i the first d:y cf last September, and that money has been in the banks since. And the other $200,000 is available to be sold whenever the money is needed. So it will be seen from this that it is not the County's fault that this road has not been bujlt, and I and my people are tired and sick of everybody cuss ing Cocke County about this road '. Having been engineer in Cocke County, in the expenditure of more than half a million dollars in the construction of roads and having done rather extensive land surveying in Greene County and having been engineer of the Madison County RoadVCommis sion for more than three years, I am somewhat familiar with the topography and roads of the three counties, and if there is any desire or any purpose to change the route of the Dixie Highway, or if it is desired to connect Greeneville, Tennessee, With Marshall and Asheville, by a main thoroughfare, the most feasible, and practical and direct route is from the old furnace in Greene County via the Allenatand and Little Laurel, to connect at Laurel bridge in Madison County I am informed that the State Highway Commission of Tennes see, has a party of engineers making a survey across the Paint Mountain, towards Paint Rock, that they have been there two orlhree months, and that they are hardly, started. Now, if this Commission wants to spend seve ral thousand dollars in making.a survey across the Paint Mountain while many of the main roads through Greeneville are in bad condition I suppose they .have that power, I may say. in passing that two members of Congress from Tennessee, have had intro duced and passed a resolution, directing a Congressional inves tigation of the State Highway Department of Tennessee, and also that the Hon. Austin vPeay who is now the Democratic can didate for Governor, and who will most probably be the next Governor of Tennessee has in strong language, criticised the work of the State Highway DeV partment, and has promised the people of the State a better ad ministration of that department. This particular stretch . of road through Cocke County about which there has been so much said, while it is narrow, and needs to be widened and made better, is in better condition to day, and can be traveled with more ease and comfort than the main roads through Greeneville. or tne State Highway Commis sion to spend thousands of dol- ars in making a survey across aint Mountain, without first having an understanding with the State Highway Commission of North Carolina about connect ing up at that point, is about in keeping with the other work that h e Tennessee Commission has Deen doing. Hereafter I hope that the people of North Carolina will understand and place the blame for the failure of this road .in Cocke County not being better than it is, where it justly belongs. , JOHN WEAVER, Engineers, Madison County Road Commission. . -Marshall, August 21, 1922.'

Peek Items Crops looks prosperous, and we have had plenty of rain in this sectiori, and some farmers are curing tobacco. Mr. Harvey Stines has been 111 a few days, but out again. There will be a decration at Peek's cemetery second Sun day in September. We wish to make mention of the twenty days singing school at Peek's chapel that closed August 12th. Which wonder fully improved the choir. It seems that some of the hu man race in all generations have stood ready with their cup of hemlock their crown of thorns for every Christ Spirit that has ever come to earth, but the tru ths of truths is Mr. Cornelious Ponder with his splendid morals and talent for music gained the hospitality as well as the inter est of this comuniiy. And his school has proved a success. The school cost approximately one hundred dollars, and as the pas tor R. D. Ponder remarked the improvements is well worth the money and time spent. Mr. Joe Robinson, and John Ammoris the leading citizens of this com munity, and other citizens who strongly' supports the church and Sunday school attended and seemly in eanest. We wish to have Mr. Ponder with us again to instruct", us Itfmusic." Mr. Cleophus Robinson is taking charge of the singing and doing splendid, and proves there is a great adoptive power in human nature. And the whole class seems to realize that its demor lizeing to allow their selves to sing Gods hymns in a half hearted grodging manner. Our Sunday School was re organized August 20th, . Rev. Wade was elected superinten dent and Rev. J. C. Ponder as sistant, which makes lis feel that we will have a great Sun day School in this community, j And if we were like the de- ciples found a sleep. We have woke up. And do not wish to be as cold as a nawn hrnkers heart or a bachlors appitite. I i Brown-Robinson. While this scribe was seated at his desk, busily engaged, some one called out "you are wanted at the register's office," everything: was dropped and we took a bee line to answer the call. When we got there we found a nice looking young man and a pretty girl patiently wailing our arrival, in a few min utes after we reached the Regis ter's offieiv in the presence of a few persons two hearts were made happy and two lives , were made one. ' . They both seemed to realize the seriousness ot the enterprise and showed signs of nervousness. We wish them a long and happy life. CM C. Pardon Notice.

Frank Snyder, a former student of Mars Hill and Itev. T. F.Arrington, pastor of the Balsam Baptist church, con ducted this meeting. They did a great work .'here. Rev. Stanberry is very young in the line of ministry but well fitted for the task. He made a' profes sion thirteen months ago ' and gave his self to God's, work. Prior to this he was a railroad man and led a very rough life. Rev. Snyder is a brilliant young man, having entered his work six years ago, and is now pastor of the Riverside Baptist church of Asheville, N. C,, also a student of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois. From the beginning these .breth ren preached on the necessity of consecration. As the result of this meeting, the church received four new members and twelve candi dates for baptism and two. by restoration. , ', . The greatest work these brethren did while here, was a vision of greater things and higher ideals.. , . Everyone who met with those new brethren will always remember them as true consecrated men, loy al to Christ and His works.
