 The Riverview clubhouse is located on the bank of the river and takes it's name from the fine view obtainable from the spacious verandah across the front of the structure.

Y. M. c. A. SHOP TALK
 AT RADIATOR PLANT.
Rev. c. H. Ricketts Addresses Em-
 pIoyes on Cleaning Grapes.

Cleaning Grapes was the subject of the interesting talk by Rev. Charles H. Ricketts before the employees of the Richmond Radiator company under Y. M. c. A. auspices Wednesday noon- He spoke in part as follows:
 There was a time when the people of Israel had been considerably shaken up by surrounding enemies. The old pro- phet in order to arouse in them the spirit of thanksgiving. makes use of the following language. which Is poetic and Oriental in the extreme: Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the upper most bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branch thereof~ This was equivalent to saying that bad as things were. they were not as bad as they might be. and it was easy to find oth- CTS worse off than themselves.
 This city of ours has been shaken pretty hard this year. Moab has gathered up pluns, not few, from the First National bank and the United States Finishing company. But they tell us that 8 few are left on the topmost boughs four or five berries that the hand of greed couldn't reach on the outnost fruitful branches thereof" The latest is that the Reli- ance worsted nlill is being disnantled and 250 hands thrown out of work. But in spite of this shaking up our city is financially intact. The U. S. Finishing company is going on a sthough Sem nacherit had not shaken it. These losses have caused considerable cur tailment, but no positive suffering, as far as I know. And what is true of the city is more than true of the na- tion. She stands foursquare against every breeze that blows.
