NEWMAN CLUB HONORS
MEMORY OF DEPARTED
TRIBUTE PAID TO w. C, BLuETT
AND DR.. II. n. MAYNARD
Two Vacant Chairs Draped in Black
at Banquet Table in the Anae Ius.
c. c. Desmond Reads a Paper
Eulogizing the Deceased

Inc November meeting of the New
man club, held last evening at the An
Selus, was devoted as a memorium for
the late W. c. Bluett and DIR. III. III.
Maynard, charter members of the cIub
VINO passed away within a month. Two
vacant chairs were draped at the ban
Duet board in memory of the departed.
c. c. Desmond read a paper on the
life of Mr. Bluett and Joseph Scott on
Dr. Maynard. Members of the club
gave "reminiscences of the deceased
members, who were beloved by all.
Mr.. Desmond said:
In the death of w. c. Bluett Los
Angeles has lost a sterling business
man, the Newman club valued mem
Der and former director and the state
worthy citizen, who was always re-
sponsive to his civic duties. Our late
brother has passed the three score years
ana ten OF the scriptures, and over the
Tour score years, to which, by the same
authority, men may attain by reason
OF strength. Laying down lifes burdens
at the ripe age of S2, he has left behind
him not only an unsullied reputation,
but the fame of an honest man, an up
rlght merchant and a Progressive and
useful member of the community"
Mr.. Desmond gave brief sketch of
the life of Mr.. Bluett from his birth In
1910 III OuDllI, through his business
career and the later years spent in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Desmond portrayed the
great Chicago fire, in which Mr.. Bluett
displayed great presence of mind and
from which his firm was one of the first
to resume business, he having started
that same evening for New York to
order new stock of goods.
"Mr Bluett came to Los Angeles in
1883" said Mr.. Desmond, entering into
the business he was connected with for
nearly a quarter of century. He was
prominent member OF the chamber of
commerce, Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, the Newman club
and as one of the organizers of the
California club.
"Our deceased friend and brother
was OF all things devout Catholic.
No man was ever more thoroughly i'm
pressed than he with the solemn sig
nificance of the words, What shall it
profit man If he gain the whole
world and lose his own SOUL? without
in any way seeking to obtrude his re-
ligion upon others, his life was a liv-
ing influence for good"
Mr. Scott dWelt at length upon the
life and work of DR.. Maynard.
