 tainer Features of Commit nity Club Programme

Birmingham has more to offer the young man than any city east of Dem yer, stated Octavus Roy Cohen, author of the Crimson Alibi," and other stories, yesterday afternoon in a talk to the mem bers of the Community club.
 Birmingham is the first city in the south, not in population but in indus tries,'' said MT. Cohen. land has more to offer the young man than any city east of Denver. I have often heard people say Birmingham is the third city in the south, and they call that boosting. We should not recognize any other city ahead of our own, and population does not make the best city. We should make Birmingham the best city in the south, and then always Say that. By harping that it is the best, we can build up the local spirit and make it so.
 T believe I am a real Birmingham booster, because have picked this city for my home when I could live in any other city in the country just as well so far as my work is concerned. This city has come in recently for a large amount of advertising, and now is the time to get behind Birmingham and boost that it is not only the first city in the south but the best"
