Bessemer, July -(Special.)-The Ma

 day, when large crowd of prominent
 citizens were spectators and were much

 ture of steel castings. Is enjoying high
 ly satisfactory success with their heats

 pary are gratified with the results of the operation. The company has the dis tinction of being the pioneer in the man. ufacture of acid open hearth steel in the state of Alabama, and the heats that are to be made at the Bessemer plant mark an epoch in the Alabama steel in- dustry.

For the Good of
 the Community

THE Birmingham Civic Association j. has given an account of it's steward ship during the past year.
 The record of achievement pointed out by retiring President E. B. Irwin bristles alike with democracy and concrete at tainment
 Among those things for which the asso- citation stood and backed and helped put over," were these:
 Passage of the bill abolishing the con- vict lease system, effective January, 1923. Passage of the blue sky law, which for bids and penalizes the sale of wildcat and unauthorized securities.
 Passage of the law preventing the slaughter of sheep by wandering dogs.
 Passage of the S25, ,OO0,000 state high way bond issue amendment, which the people afterwards indorsed at the polls. Persistent campaign to secure right of fabricating steel in Birmingham that IS enjoyed by other metal centers.
 Gave organized assistance in carrying
  tion that enabled higher salaries for the public school teachers.
 Helped bring out the remarkable in- crease in the voting strength of Jefferson county by urging registration.
 Co-operated with the city in the matter of cleaner milk supply.
 Established Spanish classes for the IL. fnI the incoming intimacy of our trade rela- : tions with the Latin Americas.
 Secured a daily accommodation train between Birmingham and Anniston.
 Assisted in locating the Vulcan Rivet Works and the Unit Stove and Furnace Eompany's plant.
 Helped bring out complete census enumeration and now aiding efforts of those who are probing the enumeration's correctness.
 Entertained the farm girls attending the summer course.
 Induced Madame Schumann-Heinckt to give her free services in concert for the benefit of the girls of Alabama.
 Maintained open forums with able speakers dealing With important clty, county and state affairs
 An outstanding service to the commu- : nity was that performed by the Civic As sociation in it's investigation of the citys gas and it's massing of data with regard to the by-product gas supply. The asso- citation kept on this job through many weeks and gave the City Commission the benefit of it's findings and its counsel.
 The result is the imminence of an abundant supply of gas of superior eff ciency at a cost far under that being paid by other cities.
 The associations manager, c. l. Har- old, has been unremittingly busy with the many Birmingham affairs, whose promo tion the association has undertaken. The president s report shows the efficiency of his work.
 Thus one after another, Birnaingham's community agencies give gratifying ac- count of the years work. There has been plenty for all of them to do individually and colloctivalv When called on to act
