A cheery greeting, a sin cere smile, that was her trade mark. She turned the sunny side out regardless of the weather. Sarah had a definite place with all of us, in church, school or recreation hours. She was a mainstay on a basket ball team, a difficult opponent on the tejmis court and an excellent swimmer. I knew her as one who played the game—jubilant winner, good na tured loser. It was Sarah who planned and managed our picnics at Carter's Falls or camping trips to Shady Shack. In her classes she stood high, but in the minds of us who knew her, she was paramount. Patronize Tribune advertisers. . They offer real values. PLACE HUGE PIPE UNDER EAST MAIN 48-inch Culvert Put Under Paved Street 14 Feet Be neath Surface BY HIGHWAY FORCES Local state highway forces, faced with what to the layman would be the almost superhuman task of putting a metal culvert 48 inches in diameter under a concrete street without tearing into the surface of the street, ac complished the task the latter part of last week in short order, completing the job in one day. The culvert in question was placed under East Mam street near the home of Alex Chatham, at a depth of 14 feet below the street level. Traffic was not in convenienced a moment during the entire job. In order to tunnel under the street, the following procedure was used: first a huge ditch was dug on the north side of the street to the level desired. Then the huge culvert was placed in pos ition with one end against the earth where the tunnel was to be started. Inside this large iron pipe, three men worked, one to dig, one to shovel the dirt into a wheelbarrow, and the third to push the wheelbarrow the length of the pipe and out the opposite end. According to T. A. Leeper, dis trict engineer, when the men working in the end of the pipe had tunnelled out about two feet, a large, 50-ton jack was placed against the opposite end of the pipe and it was pushed into the hole. This process was repeated over and over, the men in the pipe tailoring the hole to exactly fit. The Job —begun early in the morning was completed by night.
