This picture of wedding feast was

Very Rev. Richard L. McCready, dean
of Christ Church Cathedral, at the
closing session of the annual council
of the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky
the Cathedral House,
1t was in a private home in another
town, Dean McCready said. AS rector
of a local Episcopal parish he had
performed the marriage ceremony
The disgusting scenes that followed
made Dean McCready resolve never to
officiate at another wedding unless he
obtained a pledge that drinking was
not to enter into the festivities.
He endeavored to persuade the
other rectors of the town to join him
in his stand, but they refused, he said.
AS he related this experience de in
dicted the Episcopal clergy for failure
to take determined stand against
drunkenness at weddings.
They officiate, he said, at great
many of the wedding in so-called
"high life," and Dean McCready holds
them largely responsible" for the
frequent" misconduct at weddings in
"high life" and for the low standards
that are set.
Dean McCready's remarks were oc-
casioned by the introduction of resolu-
lions approving the address of the RI
Rev. Charles e. Woodcock, bishop OF
the diocese, at the opening meeting OF
the council Wednesday night. 2
The bishops address, which can

The Last Loaf" was given at

last week and was a complete
success.
The Rockingham Band gave

One of the most thriving games
of basketball was played at

is the only game our boys have
lost, the score was 12-l4 in favor

At last a friendly pen is waved
at the "Woman's Forum" and we
feel as if we were making strides
toward our goal. Now that we
have written the word goal we
are seized with mortal dread lest
some enemy arise and ask what
our goal is. We would rather
be working toward it than stop
ing to define. The letter referred
to is not for publication, we hope
the next one will be, the writer
merely wishes to express her
qualification at this opportuni y
of discus i,g with each other tn
flood of p oLitmS which we have
brought down UPON our heads by
demanding the vote. She says
she has been too busy raising
children and chickens, cooking,
darning and sewing to write on
any subject" This means that
she has been a wife, mother,
housekeeper, doctor, judge,
teacher, preacher, pqultryman,
cook and seamstress until her
children are in High School. 1t
seems to me she is competent to
express an opinion on any mat
ter. Any one of those ten pro-
LESSONS usually keeps a mere
man busy all his life.
She is disturbed by this ques-
tion of the Censorship of the
Movies and calls attention to the
fact that Tom Dixon, in his re-
cent utterance in behalf of Free
dom and Democracy" said that
he kept his children away from
Objectionable shows, Carefully
and rightly denying to his own
children that freedom" he
would grant to others. Seems to
US that when a mad dog is in the
public road the right sort of a
man not only keep his own chill
dren safe but tries to kill the
mad dog. A warning" frequent
ly excites curiosity and draws
attention. There is no question
that the Movies are putting ideas
into the heads of our children
that are leading them straight
down that broad highway to sin,
and the right sort of censors
should prevent such pictures be-
ing shown, since it is impossible
to enter the homes and censure
the parents for letting their chill
dren.go to such shows and since
it is generally impossible to know
what the picture is until it is too
late. While the writer was Ii
brarian she arrived at the door
one wa:m afternoon to find she
had forgotten her key. A dozen
little boys were standing around
and one of them, a handsome
little fellow about ten years old
said eagerly, "Wait a minute, I'll
open it for you, I've got a master
key, | can open any door in Rock
ingham." And he could and did.
Where do you suppose that little
boy got the wish to have in his
possession and to use such a thing
as a master-key.
Speaking of housekeeping and
sewing reminds us that the other
day a pretty girl entered the
home of an eminent barrister and
found him sewing buttons on his
little girls lingerie, He had the
thimble on his thumb, the scis-
sors were held between his knees
i'll the grip that every man uses
when he needs a lap to hold
things in and he was trying to
thread the needle by holding the
thread still and bringing the
needle up to it, just as they all
do. The expression on his face
was that of an early Christian
martyr and the pathos in his
voice would have brought tears
to the eyes of a potato as he an.
nounced that his wife had gone
to a party"

Washington, May 25.-Unanimous Senate approval was given today to Senator Borah's proposal for an in ternational naval disarmament con ference.
 By vote of 74 to the Idaho sen ator's amendment was added to the naval appropriation bill authorizing and requesting the president to invite the governments of Great Britain and Japan to send representatives to conference with representatives of the United States in an effort to reach some agreement on disarma- ment.
 The vote was in conformity with the understanding reached last week by administration forces to give their support to Senator Borah's plan. Be- sides the 46 Republicans and 28 Dem ocrats voting for the amendment, an- nouneements were made on behalf of many absentees that they too favored the disarmament plan.
