INTEREST IN PROPOSED

Motion Picture, Which Will
Advertise the State
Nv CLAnENoE G. THOMPSON

Every travelling man in Birmingham
will be the guest of Sidney w. Lee, pres
ident of the Alabama Grocery company,
next Saturday evening at 6 o'clock. Yes,
boys, you are expected to be there, and
the fact that sid" says come is sufti-
cent to assure you a good time. The
same degree of generosity that has al
ways characterized MIR. Lee as a business
man and a friend is found in the invita-
ton.
The travellers are looking forward to
this event with much interest and are
only waiting for Saturday to come, in or
der to take advantage of the offer
In cropping around to find suitable
words for the occasion, the word gin
ger" and, incidentally, ale pops up.
Whether or not these words carry any
meaning, they certainly are Mr.. Lees
long suit-maybe not SO, when used sepa-
rately, but when put together and hitched
onto buffalo, they form the carriage
that sid rides in. At all events, be-
sides the things to eat, the travellers will
get enough "ginger" in tneir system to
make them ale and earty.
News of the proposed new council for
Birmingham of the United Commercial
Travellers is being received with great
show of enthusiasm among the members
OF council No. III. Rumors to the eff
feet that another council would be es-
tahhshed here are well founded and APP
plication has been made for the charter
There are not many cities that have two
councils. and it is considered a boost for
Alabamas greatest city to be among the
few. The proposed new council would not
detract from the old one, but on the
other hand it is thought it will add new
life to the association. There will ex-
g ,tx-r I1-x- l1frN Aafa
the two organizations, which will be
better for both. Council No. liz will lend
aid in establishing the rival and probably
will give up some of it's leaders to the
new council.
The U. c. It's are one of the most
active travelling associations in the state.
They have under way a membership cam
paign that has been a big success. Dur
ing. this month they have added a large
number of new members. 1t has been
a matter of every member worker for
other members and they have gone after
EN- without gloves.
Somewhat disappointed in the number
present, but with spirit undaunted, few
loyals of the Travellers Protective as
ISOLATION met i'll the directors room of
the Chamber of Commerce Saturday
night The meeting was a success from
the fact that plans for a continuance
of the Landslide membership campaign
We're made. The meeting represented the
best of the association. Several enthu-
siastic speeches were made, and re-
port from Frank Means. chairman of the
membership committee, showed that more
than 100 new members had been added
during this month, and that it had been
the greatest month of the year. The To-
cal Post 3, quite probably is in the
lead in the United States, which is some
thing to be proud of, although they have
done the same thing before.
