where he has bought the Evening
Telegram. These were followed by
each member Of the club, various
speakers bringing out different low"
able and admirable qualities pos
sessed by Mr.. Brown, proving that he
had entwined himself into the hearts
and lives of them all and that each
of them felt a personal loss at his
going. His optimism at all times, his
failure to wear grouches no matter
what the conditions, his sunny smile
always and untiring service for his
community and his friends were
among the many virtues mentioned.
They regarded him as big brother,
they said and it was his advice they
sought in time of trouble.
Mr.. Brown was overcome but re-
sponded to the call of his name with
feeling talk in which he expressed
gratitude and invited the Rotarians TO
Lakeland.
Henry W. Davis read the following
poem which had been written by his
daughter, Miss Elias M. Davis.
HARRY L. BROWN
An Appreciation
Just sixteen years ago 1t was
That Harry Brown came here.
We've known, and loved him better,
too,
With every passing year.
He's made a RECORD in this town
That we must all admit;
And we might add, il truth were told,
He's also made a chit"
He's school commissioner, and on
Most every board in town;
The lodges gave him highest place,
And well-deserved renown.
He's been leader in his church,
Served the Y. NJ. C. A.,
And done a hundred other jobs
With honor-little pay.
The times too short for me to tell
OF all our brothers done
His deeds for civic betterment,
"Goat-feathers' he has won.
I'll only add, that now the time
Has come to say Goodbye"
Most of us could better spared
But that's the reason why
Our neighbor city wished him there
For Lakeland's wide awake.
(she showed that when she chost
from us
Our Harry Brown to take.)
Well miss you greatly, and ou
hearts
Go with you where you go.
OF your RECORD there, please sem
us word
In TELEGRAM or so.

tary Club was devoted to a consider
alton Of Harry l.. Brown, the occasion
being his retirement from the active

ticle, which speaks for itself, follows:
In view of his final departure from
st. Augustine on the first Of the year,
Harry l.. Brown, for the past sixteen
years editor of the Evening Record
and general manager of the RECORD
Company, was honored by the St. Au-
gustine Rotary Club at luncheon
Tuesday, the meeting having been set
aside for the expression of esteem in
which his fellow Rotarians hold him
and regret at his leaving the city.
Every member of the club as well an
each guest present said something,
and when Mr.. Brown was finally
caffed upon and rose with tears glis-
tening in his eyes, the Rotarians came
To their feet as one man and cheered.

luncheon after President ]. J. Gan

Although Mr.. Brown was worker
in another church, DR.. Bigler, of Me-

in ST. Augustine. Harry Brown was an
institution, DR.. Bigler said.

HOT LUNCHES
FOR LAKELAND'S
PUBLIC SCHOOL

One of Lakeland's most crying
needs is hot lunches at the noon hour
for her public school children-the
rich and the poor, the high and the
low will be better fed because Of of
them.
The object of the hot lunches is to
give the school child that much-need-
ed hot dish at noon, along with other
wholesome and toothsome foods. We
mean to replace the painted candy,
sweet cakes, and cold drinks with hot
soups and chowders and stews and
bread and butter and hot chocolate
and milk and fruits, at a minimum
cost. If your child has not been
taught to discriminate between good
and bad things to eat, begin now to
educate him along this line. He buys
long life and happiness when he
buys bread and butter and milk and
apples. He buys i'll health and failure
when he buys "all day suckers and
sweet cakes and cold drinks instead
of the well-balanced foods his body
demands. Feed your boys body we'll
and then feed his mind.
The Woman's Club of Lakeland has
taken upon itself to give the public
I schools of Lakeland the hot lunches.
1t found, however, that 1t needs help
in financial way to carry out this
project. By each child paying so
cents Qess than .two-thirds of the
price OF serving equipment for each
child we had hoped to raise the nec-
essary amount to purchase the dishes
for serving these lunches. In response
, to the appeal made to the children at
the Lake Morton school yesterday u
trife over half of the amount needed
was secured. We need help immedi-
ately and we are asking any person
interested in this splendid thing for
the children of Lakeland to leave any
amount they may wish to give at the
Red Cross Drug Store, or Mrs. Nor
veil at 511 South Florida avenue, or
Mrs. j. F. Wilson, Bluefeld avenue.
We want to serve our first hot
lunches on the first school day of the
new year. Mrs. Pearl Dickinson will
have charge of the lunches at the
Lake Morton school,
The average price of the lunches
' will be 13 cents. Each serving Of hot
chowder, soup, or stew will be five
cents, each serving of custard, fruit
sauce, baked apple or salad will be
five cents. Each bread and butter
sandwich or brown bread sandwich
will be three cents. The foods served
will be wholesome and attractive and
your child will be happier and strong
er because of them. 1t is estimated
that SIS are spent daily by the pub
lie school children on trash"
Lake Wire will have hot lunches
served on a similar plan as soon as
place can be made to prepare ant
serve these lunches. ARRANGEMENTS
can probably be made some time in
/ January of the new year.
