PERSONALS SOCIAL
Present Gold Emblem
to Cassius M. Brown

In appreciation of the sixty-foui
years of service in the Capital Street
Presbyterian Sunday school. the
teachers and officers of that insti-
tuition presented Cassius NJ. Brown,
Sr:II with a solid gold emblem with
his name engraved on the front and
on the reverse side the years OF
service he gave to this school.
Mr.. Brown is the only surviving
member of the school which was or
ganiZed by the members of the
Market Square Presbyterian Church
more than siXty-four years ago. He
served as teacher for fourteen
yeats, assistant superintendent thirty
years and superintendent ten years.
Last December he was made super
intendent emiritus.
Mr.. Brown is n prominent figure
in Carlisle Presbytery. Some years
ago he was elected by this pres
bytery as a commissioner to the
General Assembly which met atSara-
toga. Although having reached the
ripe old age of 70, yet he continues
to take an active interest in the af-
fairs of his church and is probably
the oldest clerk of the session in
this preSbytery.

CENTRAL HIGH NOTES
Senior Class Meets

4 meeting of the Senior class was
called yesterday by President Lewis
Rimer and was held between ses-
sions. Rimer announced that all the
plays to be considered for presenta-
tior by the Senior class had been
gone over by the committee. and
that one entitled The Private Sec
retary" would probably be the one
picked. The cast for the play will
be picked next week. Mrs. Ewing,
instructor in defamation at Gen.
tral, has charge of the play, but will
be assisted in picking the cast by
Miss Annabel SwartZ, the other
defamation teacher, because the
later has entire charge of the Sem
iors this year. Only those who are
free of conditions will be allowed to
be considered for characters.
Junior Election
The Junior class held an election
of officers for the second part of the
school year. The result as an
nounced by the retiring president,
Richard Robinson. is as follows:
President William Cleckner; secre-
tary, Miss Katherine Edwards. Both
of the new officers have taken ac-
tive parts in the activities of the
Junior class, and are we'll qualified
to administer the business of their
class.

More than 200 members of the
colored overseas forces recently re-
turned to Harrisburg and Steelton,
were guests of the Harrisburg Tele-
graph at the concert yesterday aft
ernoon of Jim" Europe's Hell
Fighters band at the Orpheum the
ater.
Did they enjoy it?
They sure did, just as did every
oody else. who heard the band play
its two programs here yesterday.
The colored veterans occupied seats
together in the theater and gave
their comrades from "over there" an
uproarous welcome. And we'll they
deserved it. The house last night was
filled to overfiowing, galleries, boxes
and main body of the theater, every
seat was filled and many turned
away. The band will make a hit
where ever it goes. Lieut.. James
Reese Europe, the famous leader.
gave the band people their moneys
worth and more. There was q flood
of good music, a gorgeous racket of
syncopation and jazzing, extraordi-
narily pleasing violin and trombone
solos and many other features that
bands seldom offer; but there was
more than that. The audience en-
joyed spice of old time minstrelsy,
a Whit of warm, gay fun from the
old South echoes of camp meetings

defraud, but it is, nevertheless, q
matter requiring attention.
The whole matter is so important
and covers so much ground, that il
would seem that probably the most
effective way to reach a solution
would be to provide for the appoint
ment of a commission, clothed with
all of the powers that the State,
through its Legislature, may give
aided by expert advisors and under
the most competent legal direction
to thoroughly look into all of the
factors involved, and to make a COM
plete report.
This entire subject is being care
fully considered before q final judg-
ment is given as to the best course
to pursue. Meanwhile, our immedi-
ate interest is that if possible the
people may be spared an increase in
the cost of their necessary fuel, at a
time when every agency of the State
and National Government, and every
effort of far-seeing people, are being
given toward a reduction of living
costs and stabihZing of social con-
ditions in the country. If a way
could be found to prevent, or even
to defer, the proposed increase in
coal prices until such an investiga-
ton has been made as will clearly
show to the people that such an
increase is justified. if it can be
justified, great deal will have been
accomplished along lines which are
essentially patriotic. and for the pub
lie welfare"
