Thrift Day" !" Suggested
For Morgan City
May Mean Beginning Of A
Fixed Monthly Semi-Hoi-
day For Merchants And
Buying Public

An advocate of the Thrift move
nent has suggested that Morgan City
merchants hold a Thrift Day" for
the purpose Of promoting the sale
and accumulation of War Savings
Stamps and Certificates and incident
ly promote the sales of the merchant.
The Thrift idea has been heralded
by Press, pulpit and layman, but it
remains for the merchants to make
the Thrift movement really thorough.
The retailers of the necessities Of life

come in contact with people who can
be reached through no other medium.
The plan offered for the considera-
ton of these merchants is one which
affords sound business eonsidera-
ton to both the retailers and their
customers.
In speaking on this matter. a citi-
zen has said to the Review: 81 see no
reason why the merchants will not
welcome this idea of spreading the
Thrift Stamp saving movement. The
plan is that certain day be set
aside whereby all sellers may offer
with the necessities a certain return
OF the purchase in Thrift Stamps If
a merchant will agree to give a
Thrift Stamp with every $500,
$4.00 or $500 sale of goods on a
certain day and the plan is thorough
ly published over wide territory in
advance, it will not only increase the
merchants sales enough to repay
them for the stamps distributed but
permit them to pay the publicity
costs and still enjoy an unusual prof

ty Of Franklin. These ladies of the
east so pleased with their several
numbers they were forced to respond
to several encores and yet the au.
dience wanted more. The following
ladies handled principal parts: Mrs
Lucille Lawless, Mrs. E. l. Seyburn,
Mrs. Malcolm Pender, Mrs. Claire
Parkerson, Mrs. Grace Baker, Mrs
Elsie Barnett, Mrs. Eva Baker, Miss
Minnie Pecat, Miss Jessie Black and
Mrs. Eva Mary Trowbridge. The mu-
steal and extremely clever whistling
of Miss Erin O'Neil came as a sur
prise and proved to be very pleas
ant one.
Taken as a whole the event was not
only big thing for the St.. Mary
Chapter of the Red Cross but de-
lightful entertainment for the people
Of this city The people OF Franklin
are greatly to be congratulated up
on possessing such an array of talent
as was displayed last night and that
patriotism and willingness to serve
is so rife as to make such perform
ance as last nights possible.
The proceeds of the show, which
will undoubtedly be a source of great
satisfaction to our parish Red Cross
officials, will be credited to the Chap
ter fund as soon as the final audit is
effected.
Miss Bernice Williams Of this city
is to be greatly commended for the
foresight and good judgment display
ed in securing this attraction. Ar
rangement details for the staging of
the production in Morgan City, was
handled by Miss Williams. She was
given valuable assistance by a num-
ber of the patriotic young ladies of
this city.

which the plan would surely bring.
No fixed action need be followed out
by all the merchants as every individ-
ual could base his Thrift Stamp offer
on any condition he saw fit. The
common date fixed for all, however,
would certainly tend to bring into
Morgan City the greatest number of
customers who might make purchases
ard who might get their start in the
Thrift habit"

M: G. N. Rolph Of The
National Food Administra-
lion In Morgan City Yes
terday

The head of the Sugar Division Of
the National Food Administration,
was in the city yesterday evening.
This position is ably 1illed by Mr.. G..
NJ. Rolph Of California. Mr.. Rolph
is on a mission, direct from Admin
istrator Hoover, to visit the ragar
planters of this section. Mr.. Rolph
stated last night that the trip was
purely for getting acquainted" pur-
poses. He hopes and feels sure it
will result in closer and more init
mate connection being established be-
tween the sugar manufacturers and
the Food Administration.
Mr.. Rolph made short talk at the
Red Cross Minstrels at the Opera
House, last night. He told of his
mission and also added message Of
counsel. He informed the audience
of the great sacrifices that men in
war activities are making these days
and IN Justice to them and for the
good Of our country at large, he ad-
vised tAaf personal criticism be put
aside. constructive criticism is ben
eficia1 but all other is destructive
and only serves to hamper and hold
back the war work officials are striv-
ing so hard to bring to a succe ssful
conclusion, said Mr.. Rolph.
Mr.. Rolph's talk was we'll received
and served as fitting prelude to the
splendid entertainment for the bene-
fit Of a war measure, which followed.

Special Chamber Of
Commerce Meeting
Tuesday
Full Attendance Expected 10
Pass On Selection Of New
Manager

No notice have been sent out, but
Secretary Palmer asks The Daily Re-
view to announce a special meeting
Of the Morgan City and Berwick
Chamber Of Commerce at the City
Hall for Tuesday to hear the recon-
mendations to be made by the com.
mittee appointed to find managerial
material for the organization. This
committee met Wednesday afternoon
and passed on applications that had
been made, finally selecting one for
presentation to the organization.
Their findings will be made public at
the meeting Tuesday and every busi-
ness man in Morgan City and Ber-
wick should make it his business to
attend this meeting.
Incomplete bits of information ga
thered from members of the Com
mittee On Manager" seem to indicate
that a certin Give wire" from Waco,
Texas, will be recommended for the
task of organizing the economic in
terest of Morgan City and Berwick.
The gentlemen limited at is not un-
known here and it appears that he is
a real, wide-awake booster and par
ticularly qualified to serve as man.
ager of commercial organization.
The COMMITTEE On Manager" was
appointed several months ago to find
a man for the place. Extensive ad-
vertising was done and several replies
from apparently high-class men were
received Many things, however
made it apparent to the committee
that the application of the gentlemen
from Waco had first call. Therefore
the meeting set for next Tuesday is

Of the committee and to approve or

Busy Morgan City

Events of last night forcibly bring
to mind the quickening pulse Of this
community. Also the steadily in
creasing number of people who are
always ready to support any enter
prise of merit. This is due in great
measure not only to increased popu-
lation but by the growing amount of
Civic Pride possessed by all residents
Of Morgan City-newcomers as well
as old-timers.
This development has reached the
point where it is possible for three
feature attractions occurring the
same night, to be fully supported in
attendance This statement was am
ply proven last night. The Minstrels
at the Opera House showed to a full
house, standing room was sold to pa
irons of the Arcade Theatre, and a
Masonic meeting had goodly mum
ber of members attending. Which
all goes to prove that Morgan City
IS rapidly taking on metropolitan
ways, in anticipation of the metropol-
itan city it is some day sure to be-
come.
The event at the Arcade Theatre
was feature film entitled "The
Honor System" Extensive advertis-
ing had been carried out by the man.
agement which resulted in a great
amount of interest being developed
among the movie fans. At the first
performance all the seats were gone
and people were standing. When
the photoplay enthusiasts learned
that this feature production was
available they answered the call. The
film was a wonderplay of moving
picture production. The large
crowds who attended were very much
pleased and intensely interested.
Many expressed the hope that the
management would continue using
the good judgment shown in selecting
the "Honor System"
