Will Dedicate New Playground Gateway During Celebration Enroute over the city's park and playground system September 23, the great automobile train bearing the Chamber of Commerce and other prominent men and women who have figured in the history in Harrisburg's fifteen odd years of public improvements, will make a brief stop at the Twelfth street playgrounds, to attend the exercises incident to the dedication of the Dr. William Harrison Jones memorial entrance. The train is due to reach there just in time to take in part of a celebration, having no direct bearing on the 3-day observance in which a whole city will participate, will not be without its significance in the story of municipal improvements. Dr. Jones on First Committee Dr.

Jones was a member of the first general committee appointed 'way back in 1901 by the Board of Trade to arrange for the mass meeting of citizens which launched the city's public improvement campaign. Primarily the purpose of the big inspection trip via automobile train is to show the Chamber of Commerce and all the others who have had in anyway, a part in the story of Harrisburg's public improvement program, what has been accomplished in fifteen odd years. Incidentally the big group of citizens who had subscribed to the fund to provide a memorial to Dr. Jones. expected to formally dedicate the entrance and fountain to the Twelfth street playgrounds sometime next month after it was finally decided when Twelfth street would be visited by the train.

James M. Auter and Herman Hahn were a appointed as a special committee to arrange with Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, park in map out a there dedi- that the exercises could be held about the time the inspection train would arrive. The Memorial The memorial to Dr. Jones will add materially to the beauty of the playgrounds.

Originally it had been decided to install just a fountain but estimates were obtained by the park commissioner and when he discovered that the formal entrance with benches, etc. could be placed within the sum that had been subscribed, he suggested that the tribute to the noted colored physician take this form instead of a fountain only. And the committee readily agreed to the plan. Work on the formal entrance and the erection of the fountain will be started in the near future so that the new gateway to the playgrounds can be finished in ample time. In meantime the arrangements for the program will be completed.

Celebration Committees Hard at Work on Plans Committees in charge of arrangements for the municipal celebration will have a busy week. Starting tomorrow night with a meeting of the committee on "merchants' night" gram, there will be meetings almost daily. Chairman A. E.

BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE A thought that is winged from friend friend Doesn't seem such a wonderful thing; Yet it carries the prayer for a joy without end, And it throbs with a big friendly ring.

A mere word of cheer, in the shadow of night, When discouragement darkens the way, Will illumine our hearts with the glorious light Of a hopeful and sun-brightened day. A bright, cheery smile often gives us the strength That we lack in the vortex of strife, For it lightens our load as we travel Of the care-laden path we call Life. the length So we find, after all, that the things we thought small Loom colossal above all the host; That the best of God's gifts are the friends we can call To our side when we need them the most. -Houston Post. No such thing as "rubber roofing" A lot of manufacturers call their roofing "Rubber Roofing," "Rubberine," "Rub-Rubber-this and Rubber-that.

The life is all out of rubber if exposed to the daylight for six months. It would be silly to put rubber in roofing, and rubber costs more per pound than roofing sells for for a hundred pounds. There is no such thing as "Rubber Roofing" of any kind. There is no rubber in Certain-teed Roofing It is made of the very best Roofing Felt thoroughly saturated in our properly blended asphalts and coated by a harder grade of asphalt which keeps the soft saturation within -the life of the Roofing--from drying out quickly. We have found from long experience in every part of the world and under all kinds of conditions that these are the materials that give the best and the longest service on the roof.

Certain-teed Roofing is guaranteed 5, 10 or 15 years according to whether the thickness is 1, 2 or 3 ply respectively, and if the roof fails to make good you have a responsible guarantee to fall back on. Beware of the product which is misrepresented to you in any way. Your local dealer will quote you reasonable prices on our goods.
