YOUNG WARD HURT
BY BEING THROWN _
- FROM MOTORGYGLE
| Harvey Ward, 20 year old son of
‘Mr. Charley Ward, of Marietta, was
badly hurt by being thrown from a
motoreyele in front of the Journal
office building Wednesday night at
'seven o’clock. ¢
- Harvey had been riding a motor
.cyzle but a short time, but greatly
enjoyed the sport, and Wednesday
‘evening requested a friend to let him
take a few spins around the square.
The mechanism was not altogether fa
miliar to him and he lost control of
the machine and crashed into the ce
ment walk at the intersection of
| Winters street with the Square
driveway. Bystanders rushed to hig
assistance and pulling him out from
undr the machine, hurried him into a
passing car to Nolan’s sanitarium,
v'here he was given medical and sur
gical nttention. Several lower teeth
were knocked out, a bad gash cut on
his cheek, the jaw bone fractured,
and much bruised otherwise. While
the injuries are painful and will in
|caparcitate him for some time, fortu
nately the accident did not result fa
tally.
| Harvey is very popular, and one of
‘the best young men of the city. His
‘many friends regret exceedingly this
|misfortune and hope he may make
rapid and complete recovery from his
injuries.
Work on House of Dr. J. M. Tom

five going up at present.
Dr. J. M. Tomlinson and Mr Chas.
W. DeFoor have started the actual

likely start building at an early date.
Many of the lots have been sold

MARIETTA, COBB COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1922
LIBERAL SUPPORT
OF THE LIBRARY
AN URGENT NEED
Report Shows that Institution is
Growing Rapidly in Patronage
and Public Interest.
In the Library Drive of Sept.2l,
1921, about $1,600 was secured for
the maintenance of that institution
for the coming year. This sum, while
it was considered a good response for
a time of financial stringency, was
not an amount that gave the library
any margin for new equipment,
sich oi course means books. The
librarian’s salary is $lOO.OO a month,
then there is janitor service, repairs
on the building, to add to the running
expenses.
.ne use ofethe library by the peo
ple of Marietta, especially the chil
dren, has more than doubled since
last year, but the books are fast
going to pieces and there is not en
‘ough money to keep up repairs on
them and buy any new ones. The
’ aoaren are the greatest sufferers
in this respect as there are not nearly
enough books for them.
The Board of Directors and the
librarian want to give Marietta the
best library a town of this size could
have, but they are halted by the qu
estion of funds. Of the $1,600 pled
ged in the Drive last September, a
bout $l,OOO has been wcollected, lea
ving $600.00 in unpaid pledges. This
money is absolutely necessary for the
running of the library the next three
or four months, and the appeal is
made to every one who made a pled
ge to meet that obligation as soon as
possible. The Board of Directors re
{:s2; tofg(:uiin debt to run the library.
f the funds are mot f oming
it the funds are mot forth comings
closed. This would seem almost a
calamity when the library is doing
such good work, and is being used by
so many people.
It is necessary in order that our
chools have a place on the list of
accredited schools, that the pupils
“ave access to a library of well se
ected books. This requirement the
Marietta schools are able to meet
now, and the library and the capable
librarian have meant a great deal
both to the teachers and pupils these
past months. |
The question of financing the lib
rary is one that should be put before
both the Board of Education andthe
city council. It is a civie institution
of the greatest value to the educa
tional system, as well as a distine*
asset to the town. It is not a fad or

Epworth Leaguers Planning For
Big Time in That City on
June 26 to 30th.
Scores of young people of Cobb
county are looking forward to the
great Epworth League assembly of
the North Georgia conference, to be

Each of the Epworth Leagues in
this section are entitled to send one
official delegate for each twenty-five
members, and as many may go as
visitors as desire. There are 203 Ep

Conference. with 8,877 members, so
the annual summer assembly at Ox
ford is expected to bring together
one of the most enthusastic groups of
young men and women ever gathered
for such an ocecasion. -
The people of Oxford and the offi
cials of Emory Academy are making
plans now to make the occasion one
of the most interesting of its kind,
and an interesting program for rec
reation will make the occasion a real
vacation.
The program for the assembly in
dicates that it will be enthusiastic in
tone, interesting and instructive in
all departments, “Recreation” being
the keynote of the whole program.
Leaders in League work, and those
interested in young people are the
persons on the program, and Leaguers
who have attended other assemblies
are looking forward to the one at
Oxford with the keenest anticipation.

comedy success. It will be presented
by a cast of exceptionally competent
New York actors.

POWDER SPRINGS
STREET PAVING
STARTED MONDAY
Lawrence Street Nearly Complet
_ed and Next Move Will be to
Cherokee Street.
The Bittman Construction Com
pany, who have contracts for the Ma
rietta street paving, moved with men,

MASS MEETINGS
NOW BEING HELD
FOR GOOD ROADS
North Georgia Cities Hold Meet
ings to Endorse Good Roads
Bond Issue
Supporters of the $75,000,000 road
bond issue are enthusiastic this week
over reports coming into headquar
iters from counties which held mass
'meetings last week in the interest of
the road bonds.
In the past ten days good roads
advocates have held mass meetings
an Easht&man, (L glethorpe, Cu&:&
Sißkdleticn Loz ks shd Dptany
sement of the bond campaign was
!given and plans laid for perfecting
county organizations so as to get the
'bond issue before the people throu
)ghout the counties who had not at
tended the mass meetings.
’ At Dalton eighteen North Georgia
counties were represented by their
county commissioners, and each coun
ty pledged its support to the bond
issue.
North Georgita is peculiarly en
thusastic over the bond plan of com
pleting the state highway system, for
this section of the state suffers more,
probably, as a result of impassable
roads than does the lower sections
of the state. Citizens of this section
contend that when the state system!
is completed, the mountains of North
Georgia will become as popular sum-i
mer resorts as are the mountains of
North Carolina; therefore. instead
of regarding the proposed bond issue
as a possible burden upon the people,
they consider it the wisest sort of an
investment and they are working hard
to see that it goes through.
EASTER SONG PROGRAM *

ure of hearing the excellent rendition
