CITIZENS ASK FOR CONCRETE ROAD
Citizens of Wind Gap, at a Council meeting on Monday evening, showed the members of Town Council ot that place thaf they are tired ot waiting for the new road through the town, and said In unmistakable terms that they want a concrete road and that they want it promptly. The citizens, about fifty of whom were In attend¬ ance at the Council meeting, were unanimous in their approval of the concrete road.
It is common report in Wind Gap, and the Councilmen seem to admit it, that they have been persuaded that Warrenite should be used, in prefer¬ ence to concrete, and the bid for the concrete paving was not awarded. It is reported thaf representatives of the Warrenite manufacturers were in Wind Gap for a time and talked tbe Warrenite proposition into the Coun¬ cilmen.
However, the sentiment of the citi¬ zens opposes this proposition. They claim they voted for the bond Issue on the basis ot a concrete road and they want the road to be ot concrete.
The roads through Wind Gap are In an awful condition and motorists are compelled to travel at low speed and to run very carefully because of the bad holes. Residents of the bor¬ ough are tired of this and demand action.

Nazareth Family Narrowly J Escapes Serious Injuries" In Aulo Accident Sunday
Car of U. G. Altemos Crowded Off Nar¬ row Detour By Passing Auto and Goes Over Embankment
On Sunday while .Mr. and .Mr.-. I'. G. Altemos and daughters Lizzie and Florence were returning home from an automobile trip through Monroe cotinfy and while touring over the Wind Gap-Saylorsburg State road, at a point where a short detour is ne¬ cessary, figured in an accident by be¬ ing thrown oft the detour into the renient highway, over an eighteen- foot embankment.
.According fo Mr. -Altemos' version, he was carefully rolling along, look¬ ing ahead for on-coming motorists, ,!s the detour is a narrow one and practically only a one-way road. Sud¬ denly withou; giving him any warn¬ ing a Ford touring with a .Mr. Ealy and family of R. F. D. Pen .Argyl. made a hasty attempt to pass the .Altemose machine, and in doing so he found himself shooting up an em¬ bankment. Realizing his mlsjudg- ment and to avoid turtling his own car over on the Altemos car he right¬
ed his machine and in doing so he struck the hub cap on fhe Altemos car. .Mr. Altemos having no chance of escaping a side sweep, waa pushed against and through a flimsy con¬ structed guard rail and by keeping a cool head and a steady hand he pilot¬ ed his Overland down the embank¬ ment, landing on the newly con¬ st! ucted road, smashing the front end of his automobile.
Fortunately .Mr. Altemos and his family were not thrown out but re¬ mained on the car sustaining only minor injuries of cuts and bruises be¬ sides shock which follow an experi¬ ence of such a nature.
This stretch ot road is a very dan¬ gerous one and requires most care¬ ful driving. Let Mr. Altemos' ex- pcrlenec be a warning to all motor¬ ists as this is a favorite drive for lo¬ cal automobilists and is used quite frequently by local and nearby (our- Isfs.

WHILE CELEHRATIXG
Olinto Pecbeshi, aged 19 years. a young Spaniard residing at Stock¬ ertown, had his right hand badly in¬ jured by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. The thumb and first fin¬ ger were lorn oft and the middle of his hand was also lacerated. He was attended by Dr. J. .A. Fraunfelder. of Nazareth, and was removed fo fhe Easton Hospital.
The local celebration of the one hundred and seventy-fifth aniii.ers- ary of organized Lutheranism in .America held in Sr. John's Lutheran church on Sunday evening in point of interest, attendance and excellency exceeded the fondest hopes of the most sanguine.
It was a union service in which all the Lutheran parishes surrounding Nazareth participated. The follow¬ ing parishes were represented: Forks-Arndts. the Rev. G. P. Kleck¬ ner, pastor: Farmersville-Hecktown, the Rev, J. .A. Klick, pastor; .Altonah- Tatainy, the Rev. V. J. Bauer, pas¬ tor; Bath, the Rev. Chester Hill, pas¬ tor; MoorestownSnyders, the Rev. C. H. Hemsath. supply pastor; Nazar¬ eth, the Rev. M M. Dry, pastor; Plainfield, the Rev. L. D, Lazarus, pastor.
Long before the time for the serv¬ ice had arrived the people came pour¬ ing Into Nazareth trom every direc¬ tion. -All the available parking space for automobiles around the churcb was soon filled and other places had to be sought. When the hour of serv¬ ice arrived both church and chapel were filled to capacity which meant an audience of about fourteen hun¬ dred people.
One ot the delightful and pleasant features of the occasion was the ex¬ cellent music rendered by the com¬ bined choirs numbering sixty-five voices. These various groups, unac¬ customed to sing together, had but two rehearsals. In that short time they undertook to render the best I Continued on Page Four)

CITIZENS ASK FOR CONCRETE ROAD
Citizens of Wind Gap, at a Council meeting on Monday evening, showed the members of Town Council ot that place thaf they are tired ot waiting for the new road through the town, and said In unmistakable terms that they want a concrete road and that they want it promptly. The citizens, about fifty of whom were In attend¬ ance at the Council meeting, were unanimous in their approval of the concrete road.
It is common report in Wind Gap, and the Councilmen seem to admit it, that they have been persuaded that Warrenite should be used, in prefer¬ ence to concrete, and the bid for the concrete paving was not awarded. It is reported thaf representatives of the Warrenite manufacturers were in Wind Gap for a time and talked tbe Warrenite proposition into the Coun¬ cilmen.
However, the sentiment of the citi¬ zens opposes this proposition. They claim they voted for the bond Issue on the basis ot a concrete road and they want the road to be ot concrete.
The roads through Wind Gap are In an awful condition and motorists are compelled to travel at low speed and to run very carefully because of the bad holes. Residents of the bor¬ ough are tired of this and demand action.

Nazareth Family Narrowly J Escapes Serious Injuries" In Aulo Accident Sunday
Car of U. G. Altemos Crowded Off Nar¬ row Detour By Passing Auto and Goes Over Embankment
On Sunday while .Mr. and .Mr.-. I'. G. Altemos and daughters Lizzie and Florence were returning home from an automobile trip through Monroe cotinfy and while touring over the Wind Gap-Saylorsburg State road, at a point where a short detour is ne¬ cessary, figured in an accident by be¬ ing thrown oft the detour into the renient highway, over an eighteen- foot embankment.
.According fo Mr. -Altemos' version, he was carefully rolling along, look¬ ing ahead for on-coming motorists, ,!s the detour is a narrow one and practically only a one-way road. Sud¬ denly withou; giving him any warn¬ ing a Ford touring with a .Mr. Ealy and family of R. F. D. Pen .Argyl. made a hasty attempt to pass the .Altemose machine, and in doing so he found himself shooting up an em¬ bankment. Realizing his mlsjudg- ment and to avoid turtling his own car over on the Altemos car he right¬
ed his machine and in doing so he struck the hub cap on fhe Altemos car. .Mr. Altemos having no chance of escaping a side sweep, waa pushed against and through a flimsy con¬ structed guard rail and by keeping a cool head and a steady hand he pilot¬ ed his Overland down the embank¬ ment, landing on the newly con¬ st! ucted road, smashing the front end of his automobile.
Fortunately .Mr. Altemos and his family were not thrown out but re¬ mained on the car sustaining only minor injuries of cuts and bruises be¬ sides shock which follow an experi¬ ence of such a nature.
This stretch ot road is a very dan¬ gerous one and requires most care¬ ful driving. Let Mr. Altemos' ex- pcrlenec be a warning to all motor¬ ists as this is a favorite drive for lo¬ cal automobilists and is used quite frequently by local and nearby (our- Isfs.
LUTHERANISM
CELEDRATED
VOUXG SPANLVRI) HIHT
WHILE CELEHRATIXG
Olinto Pecbeshi, aged 19 years. a young Spaniard residing at Stock¬ ertown, had his right hand badly in¬ jured by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. The thumb and first fin¬ ger were lorn oft and the middle of his hand was also lacerated. He was attended by Dr. J. .A. Fraunfelder. of Nazareth, and was removed fo fhe Easton Hospital.
The local celebration of the one hundred and seventy-fifth aniii.ers- ary of organized Lutheranism in .America held in Sr. John's Lutheran church on Sunday evening in point of interest, attendance and excellency exceeded the fondest hopes of the most sanguine.
It was a union service in which all the Lutheran parishes surrounding Nazareth participated. The follow¬ ing parishes were represented: Forks-Arndts. the Rev. G. P. Kleck¬ ner, pastor: Farmersville-Hecktown, the Rev, J. .A. Klick, pastor; .Altonah- Tatainy, the Rev. V. J. Bauer, pas¬ tor; Bath, the Rev. Chester Hill, pas¬ tor; MoorestownSnyders, the Rev. C. H. Hemsath. supply pastor; Nazar¬ eth, the Rev. M M. Dry, pastor; Plainfield, the Rev. L. D, Lazarus, pastor.
Long before the time for the serv¬ ice had arrived the people came pour¬ ing Into Nazareth trom every direc¬ tion. -All the available parking space for automobiles around the churcb was soon filled and other places had to be sought. When the hour of serv¬ ice arrived both church and chapel were filled to capacity which meant an audience of about fourteen hun¬ dred people.
One ot the delightful and pleasant features of the occasion was the ex¬ cellent music rendered by the com¬ bined choirs numbering sixty-five voices. These various groups, unac¬ customed to sing together, had but two rehearsals. In that short time they undertook to render the best I Continued on Page Four)
