Killing the Lamping Bill

veterans welfare commission bill is now APP
pearing in the legislature-and is being rushed TO
passage, while the Lamping bill is likely to die.
This may satisfy leaders of the legislature-it
may satisfy President Suzzallo, of the University of
Washington, of the sponsors of the new measure
BUT 1T is NOT GOING TO SATISFY THE
SERVICE MEN.
). The Suzzallo measure eontemplates a fund of
100000, to be handled by commission, who will
pass upon the applications of the soldiers and sailors
and will dole out 81 here, 50 there SO to one or
$15 to another 1t may even, in rare cases, give S25
tr more, for an individuals relief.
The money will be given the soldiers and sailors,
&ither loan (f they too proud to beg), or as
charity (if their pride is crushed(.
The Suzzallo measure is just the kind of measure
which the professional philanthropist would like.
1t is NOT the kind of measure which will do the
most substantial justice to the men who donned the
Uniform. They should get ready cash, as matter of
RIGHT, not as matter of charity.
They should get that money outright-and not
IS loan.
1t is little enough we can do for the men who
lad to leave home and family who had to leave their
Jobs who for months and, in cases, for nearly
two years, had to content themselves on a meager
$50 month, while those who stayed behind got the
benefits of war prosperity.

entire period of such war service.

Beat 8 Singing Convention.

The Singing Convention of Beat 3
I has a habit of having good sessions,
lbut for all-round enjoyable meeting
1t duplicated its best record last
Sunday at Pine Grove.
To begin with, the day was pro-
pitious and a crowd was in attend
ance that was wholly unable to get
in the building at any one time, but
in one way or another all managed
to get their share in the proceedings.
The purpose of the Convention is
to make better music, more music
and develop the singing, talent OF the
Beat, with all attendant Dement'S OF
increased interest in church services,
well-employed young folks and So
cial Christian intercourse.
This purpose was completely met
at this session. Representative
choirs from Mallalieu, J. o. Neal,
Leader; Wellman, w. L. McGraw'
Header; Moak's Creek, Jesse Brum:
field, leader; were present to vie
with the Pine Grove aggregation,
under J. @. Brister, who is president
of the convention. In addition to
the program in regular course, the
Convention enjoyed solo by Mr.. j.
10. Neal, duet by his small son and
daughter, and a male quartette, COM
posed of three able representatives
from Summit, aided by Mr.. Neal. BY
request of the president Of the Con-
Iventton, Mr.. Hermon Dean addressed
the Convention briefly on the value
of music in the Church.
In spite of the unusual attendance
the good people of Pine Grove ham
died with entire satisfaction the
more material pleasures of the noon
hour adjournment.
The next session of the Conven-
tion will meet at Mallalieu on the
second Sunday In September.
