STATE AIR ROUTE

Witn the hangar -nearing completion
and half of the field covered with grass,
.officials of the Duppstadt Airport Co.
are marking time, pending receipt of
replies to communications addressed to
the state aeronautics commission and the
department of commerce at
"Washington, asking fer a rating for
‘their field near here, according to a
statement issued by C. W. Duppstadt,
‘head of the company.
The hangar, a wooden structure 50x60
feet having a clearance of 12 feet, lacks
only the roof to be complete and will
provide storage space for from four to
eight plans, Mr. Duppstadt said. The
field requires no runways for taking off
and alighting, he said, because the hard
soil provides a firm surface for planes at
all times. While but half of the field is
covered with grass at the present time,
it is planned to complete the covering
during the coming summer, So that by
1930 the entire area will present a
federal
smooth grassy surface at all times.
Want Place on New Route
According to Mr. Duppstadt, the com-
pany is negotiating with the aeronautics
commission and the department of com-
merce to have the airport included in
the projected air mail routes which will
soon be established between Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and
Washington. It is understood that pres-
| ent plans for the two routes provide for
the Washington route to branch off from
the Pittsburgh-Philadelphia route at
Somerset, making the landing field here"
a junction for the two lines. Although
both routes have been provided for in
bills passed by the recent legislature,
neither measure has been signed by the
governor, Mr. Duppstadt said, and ac-
tion by the aeronautics commission is
not expected before the July meeting of
the body. :
Mr. Duppstadt denied all rumors of
a merger between his company and the
new Air Service, Inc, which operates
two fields at Johnstown, although he de-
clared he anticipated nothing but the
most friendly relations to exist between
the two firms and predicted a very close
working ‘arrangement, with a possible
interchange of facilities.

put Somerset back on the map again on
the Fourth of July with a celebration

in favor of any affair that is for the

the larger cities of Pennsylvania. Philip

prizes will be awarded to companies

pany in line, best equipment and so

Reformed Church Urges
Temperance Education
A systematic campaign of temper-
ance education and a campaign for
the restoration of the family alter are
urged by the Publication and Sunday
School Board of the Reformed Church
in the U. 8., in its report submitted
to the triennial General Synod of the
Church meeting this month in Indian-
apolis, Ind.
The headquarters of the Reformed
make a week-end of gala events and to
continue the celebration over Friday and
On Friday and

of the various reports are being sent| “In response to a great demand for
to delegates to the General Synod or
their persual before they assemble, so
that the Church may have an oppor-
tunity to deliberate upon the vital
problems that are to be considered in
the General Synod.
Among the recommendations of the
Publication and Sunday School Board
are the following: “The General Sy-
nod is asked to make a forceful and
constructive deliverance on the im-
portance of Christian family life and
to arouse a renewed interest in a
campaign for the restoration of the
family alter and the larger spirituai-
ization of our homes.
“Believing that the work of relig-
ious education will be carried on more
systematically and effectively through
the appointment by the consistory of a
special committee or council of reli-
gious education in the local church,
we recommend that congregations be
encouraged to appoint such careful
chosen and competent committees on
religious education, and for this pur-
pose.
a full-time director of children’s
work, it is recommended that such a
person be employed as soon as the
Board’s finances will warrant it.
“The population of aduit education
including the Christian home being of
such vital importance, it is recom-
mended that a director be appointed
for such work when funds are avail-
able.”
In recommending temperance edu-
| cation the report says: “In view of
the prominent place Prohibition holds
among the problems of Christian so-
ciety, and because of the strategic
importance of education in the solu-
tion of this problem, it is recommend-
ed that a systematic campaign of
' temperance education be inaugurated
during the next triennium.”
The report is signed by the Rev.
Dr. Conrad Clever, of Hagerstown,
Md., as President of the Board, and
by the Rev. Dr. Paul S. Leinbach, of
| Philadelphia, Pa., as the Executive
Secretary. :
