Railroad administration that the jBurlingon, in conjunction with other I railroads comprising the Central Western region, will launch a "No Accident Week" campaign extending from June 22nd to June 29th.

For that week it is planned to enlist the cooperation of every railroad officer and employe one and all in an effort to show what can be done in an intensified campaign to prevent accidents in railroad work.

Colonel Blackstone acted as presiding officer of the occasion and introduced Rev.

The musical numbers presented DV the Girls' Glee club of the Lead high school, under direction of Mrs. Myra K. Peters, were distinctive and greatly appreciated features of the program.

The selections were strikingly appropriate and given with artistic finish. The Glee club appeared twice giving two numbers each time. Lincoln's Gettysburg address was read with feeling by Judge Dewey, who prefaced the reading by narrating the circumstances under which the address was prepared, saying that while the speech of the great orator of the occasion, had been all but forgotten, the simple speech, prepared by Lincoln, while he rode the Gettysburg field, would live forever. Rev. Father Belknap said that the most significant feature of the world war Just ended was the carrying across the seas to the nations of the old world the principals which have been the strength of America.

These principles, he said, were old as modern history but for centuries had been buried under the despotism of the ages. They were first announced to the world by Christ at the dawn of the Christian era and were put into practice through the Decla ration of Independence; they are the principles of justice, liberty and a regard for the rights of humanity. Rev. Moore said that the United States stands foremost among the nations because of its high ideals. These ideals encompass liberty, just ice, truth and righteousness.

They are the ideal sfor which the soldiers of this country fought in the world war and for which they have fought in all other wars in which they have engaged; they have fought for hu manity and civilization alone. All the powers of the earth, no matter what heights of greatness they may have reached, have fallen unless they were actuated by these ideals. The speaker traced briefly the rise and fall of such world powers as STORE. OFFICIAL UONDS APPROVED City Commissioners Considering Civic Improvements.
