Mrs. Firth Now
Y. W. President

Mrs. Betty Suilivan-Frith was
unanimously chosen Is the president
Of the Young Women's Christian AS
sociation at meeting Of the Board
of Directors, held last week, follow
ing the election Of the directors. The
election of Mrs. Firth is one Of un-
usual honor, as she is probably the
Youngest president Of the Y. w. C. A.
in the United States, and the fact
that the local Y. w. is one Of the
finest in the South gives Mrs. Firth
and Bogalusa more distinction. Her
mother, Mrs. w. H. Sullivan, was the
first president of the Y. w. C. A. and
it was due to her efforts that the
handsome building and elaborate fur
nishings were secured for the ladies
of Bogalusa. The success which Mira.
Sullivan made in the organizations
was such as to attract great atten-
tion and Mrs. Firth has every quail
fication to maintain the high stand
ard OF the organization and member
ship which was established by her
mother.
Besides being an active worker,
Mrs. Firth is known to almost every
man, woman and child in the city,
and she has those lovable qualities
ton OF her mother which make her
natural leader. Perhaps this was
best shown in the Y. w. C. f., or
Blue Triangle drive, of last week
when she practically. organized and
looked after all thes details Of TIE
drive. lsi31tfS'
The Enterprise congratulates the
board of directors in making the Sc
lection of Mrs. Firth for the presiai
dency Of the Y. w. CA. and predicts
she will make it most popular place
in Louisiana for the ladies, but equal
ly SO for all the citizens Of Bogalusa.

Captain Firth Is
Purchasing Agent

The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany has announced the selection of
Captain e. H. Firth as purchasing
agent for that company and the Boz
galusa Paper Company and Bogalusa
Turpentine Company. The position
is one of Importance in the organ
ization of those companies and Cap
tain Firth is well qualified for the po-
sition, having devoted years Of work
in the auditing business, where he
came in contact with the costs of
most every kind of article.
Since H. B. Woodcock was made
superintendent Of the Great South
ern, his former chief clerk, c. B.
Dunn, looked after the department
until the selection Of new purchas-
ing agent was made.
The choosing of Captain Firth for
this position will mean that he has
become citizen of Bogalusa and he
and his charming wife win be located
here permanently.

Weather and Luck
Against Y. W. Drive

The weather man did not donate
anything to the Y. w. c.. A. drive
last week, unless it was about the
most miserable weather this city has
endured for many months. Then the
illness of Mrs. Ed. H. Firth, the abb
sence of w. c. Flanders from Boga-
lusa for several days, caused more
glooms, but nevertheless the ladies
reported $4,31.15 collected to noon
Thursday and will continue the drive
for the remainder of the week, when
they expect to go over the top-$5,-
600 being the goal, but several adj
ditional hundred could be used to
good advantage. The list Of dona-
tons to this worthy cause will ap-
pear in next weeks issue of the En-
terprise.

Gently returned from overseas duty,
to meet and get acquainted with every
returning soldier, to find out the kind

of the Y. NJ. C. A., has announced
that all returning men will be given

fact, the Y. M. C. A. is to be turned

Rogalusa citizens want to show the
bows their appreciation in every pos
sible way and after they all get back
there win be one grand celebration in
their honor. This is to be the great
est day in the history of Bogalusa.
The date of this celebration cannot
be definitely set owing to the fact
that many of the boys are still over
seas and have no idea when they will
reach home.

EVERY RETURNING BOCALUSA BOY
FINDS A JOB AWAITING HIM HERE

Wherever Bogalusa is known she
is recognized as the city which does
things unusual. Just at this time
when thousands Of soldiers, sailors
and marines are returning home they
are encountering difficulties in Sc
curing employment in most every city
or town. Such is not the case. in
BOgalusa. Every soldier rom Boga-
lusa, who returns, will find job
awaiting him.
w. H. Sullivan, general manager
of the Great Southern Lumber Com
pany, at meeting of the foremen of
the plant, held last week, instructed
that room be made for the boys who
are returning. He is receiving the
cooperation of the other industries
and the business men, and if there
is a soldier returning who does not
secure job it will be because he has
not made the fact known.
Then, just to make the boys real
ize that the citizens appreciate their
efforts, special secretary has been
placed at the Y. NJ C. A. in the per-

CITIES URGED BY GOVERNMENT TO
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS GET BUSY

The United States government has
sent notices to every city in the
United States, urging them to make
every municipal improvement that
will be needed for the next few years
during the present year and Boga-
lusa, which has always done her full
share in every government call,
should not overlook this request for
several reasons. The streets of the
city need many improvements and the
water and sewerage system should be
extended to every section of the city.
The fact that these are badly needed
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1919-02-27

is one reason why the work should
not be delayed, another is that it will
furnish work for returning soldiers
and sailors and marines. Still an
other reason is that the money to
carry on this work can be secured
now without difficulty and at low
rate of interest. The citizens Of Bo-
galusa will agree with the Enterprise
that steps should be taken at once
to make arrangements for such im-
provements and the Commission
Council should give the matter their.
early attention.

Find $50 Pints OF Booze.

There was quite a little excite
ment in town Sunday when it be-
came known that one hundred and
fifty pints of whiskey had been found
in the creek in the Barney Nelson
pasture in the south part of town.
Carl and Alexander Smith and
Bert Nelson were wading in the
creek and discovered the hiding
place in the creek bank. 1t was re-
ported to the marshal who took care
of what the boys found and the
creek was pretty thoroughly search
ed for any stragglers.. There were
more people fishing in the creek
sunday and Monday than had been
known to congregate there at anv
one time before.
There have been several various
stories circulated as to how this con-
traband happened to be hid in the
creek, and we have heard of more
auto accidents the past few days,
and of course the owner OF every car
was the, blockade runner. IT the
big rain was no good for anything
else, 1t played its part in uncOvertng

Baby Hit BY Engine.

Last Friday about noon while Mrs.
w. H. Williams was busy getting
dinner their little two year old baby
wandered away down to the railroad
track and was playing in the grass
near one of the rails when the south
bound passenger pulled out from
the depot and was not seen by the
engineer until he was in about 80
feet of the baby. He applied the
air brakes till the wheels of the en-
gine slid on the rails but the fender
on the engine hit the baby in the
baby from the track with, only a
scalp wound where the fender hit it.
The fireman jumped from the en-
CINE and picked the baby up and at.
ter giving it to its mother, who had L a;
engine and the train moved on. 1t
was very fortunate indeed that the
child was not hurt any worse than
it was, but it caused much excite

Looks Like an Injustice.

We printed last week, q clipping
from the Creston Advertiser, telling
of the arrest of Carl Upheld at Van
Vert on the charge of violating the
law in regard to anyone wearing
soldiers uniform which they were
not entitled to wear, but from re-
sponsible citizens of Van Vert who
have no interest in the case aside
from seeing justice done, we learn
a mistake was made in this case. as
it does not look to us or the citizens
of Van Vert, as if Carl had any
thought Of impersonating a soldier,
the facts in the case being that he
was visiting friend at Van Vert,
who had charge of electric light re-
pair work, and after the big rain
Sunday he had a lot Of work to do,
and asked Carl to assist him, and
he said he would if he had some
work clothes, so his friend gave him
an old pair of his soldier trousers
and an old shirt and Carl assisted
him with his work 1t is reported
there were no military buttons on
the trousers or shirt, and no SOL
dier's insignia of any kind. and the
people in the vicinity of Van Vert,
are considerably aroused over his
arrest. and the reporting of Carl to
U: S. deputy marshal is regarded
as the work of an over jealous cit
izen of Van Vert, who thought he
was doing a patriotic act in report
ing the case.
