THE CHAUTAUQUA

-he annual meeting of the Clio
Chautauqua Association was held last
Tuesday evening at which time the
following officers and committees
were elected to serve for the presen.
season: President, DIR. p. f. White
Vice-President, Robert Jewell; Secre-
tary, Kent McLain; Treasurer, VIM.
II. Gilmore; Chairman Of Ticket Com.
mittee, Lyle Brown, assistants Mrs.
Leila Schlosser and Paul Jones Chair
man Advertising Committee, C. II.
Reed-authorized to appoint assist
ants; Grounds, Lawrence Hamilton,
Chairman, assistants, Gala Maxwell,
Elmer Yeaster and Albert Ford 4;
Juvenile Superintendent, Miss Mabel
Blackney-authorized to appoint as
sistants. The price of season tickets
for the present year was fixed al
1920, war tax included, for adults,
and $1.10 for children. This is a
very reasonable rate indeed, consider
ing the splendid character of the pro-
gram, and enough tickets should be
sold, without effort, to pay the entire
expense of the Chautauqua. Let us
all realize that this is community
affair and that we should have a part
in supporting it. If this were done
the Chautauqua would be a season
for enjoyment and profit on the part
of everybody. Where few have
to do all the work of selling the
tickets they are in frame of mind
to find little pleasure in the program.
We understand that those who signed
the contract will be issued their pro-
portionate tickets which they will be
expected to sell. Let us make their
task agreeable by buying our tickets
promptly. The amount is not large
and the compensation in pleasure will
be ample. The dates will be from
August 20 to September 2, inclusive.

A SUGGESTION

A lady friend of The Messenger
tells us of feature of home COM
ing recently held in another city
which proved most entertaining there
and which we think would be equal
ly entertaining here. 1t was a dis
play of different kinds of antiquities
in the show windows of the town.
In one window it was a display of
old time dresses and clothing. In
another it was collection of old
books; in still another spinning
wheel and old household utensils, and
in yet another collection Of old
guns. The idea seems fine to us,
1t would provide entertainment for
hundreds of people and there would
be no expense connected with it. We
trust the idea can be utilized at the
approaching home coming at Clio. If
people who have such old relics will
bring them to the stores of the mer-
chants here we are sure the latter
will be glad to place them on dis
play.

M. E. s. S. PICNIC

The M. E. Sunday School will hold
its annual picnic at Taymouth Grove
next Wednesday. The situation of
this grove on the banks of the Flint
River is most delightful and we are
sure that all who attend will have a
splendid time. A basket luncheon
will be served, to which all, of course,
will be expected to contribute. No
trouble about the eats, however,
there will be an abundance of every
thing. Autos will leave the church
promptly at $50 o'clock and convey
ance will be provided for all those
who wish to go. All members and
friends of the school who have autos
are requested to attend and loan the
use of their machines to get the
children to and from the picnic
grounds.

SITUATION is SERIOUS

Major Roy C. Vandercook, head OF
the State Safety Department, in an
address delivered before the Flint
Rotary Club, recently, made the fol
lowing significant and highly import
ant remarks:
"The situation in Michigan today
is a mighty serious one. 1t has got
to point where law enforcement
is going to fall apart, unless the
citizens get behind the officials in
their work" declared Mr.. Van
dercook.
"The problem of enforcing the
liquor law is an unusual problem" "
said the speaker who referred to the
men engaged in the liquor traffic,
"they are absolutely a lawless class
of men. They are absolutely without
regard for human life. They are
vicious. They are the very men who
are to blame for much of the crime
in our state today. They are the
men who are making our highways
and homes unsafe"
The speaker then described in de-
tail the various crimes that have
been laid to the liquor runners. say
ing: There's going to come a time
in Michigan when barricades will be
placed across all roads. In case of
serious crime, every one will be
stopped, and will have to give an ac-
count of himself before he can pro-
ceed. It's going to be a means of
rounding up the criminals"
You've got to show your police
officers that you are with them in
their work. If the liquor law isn't
right, then it is up to you gentle
men to make it right" said the
speaker. "There are fellows in De-
troit who have made 100000 to
100000 in the liquor traffic" was a
startling assertion made by Mr..
Vandercook, who continued again
that at isn't merely a proposition
of taking drink, it's a proposition
of law enforcement"
Mr.. Vandercook told the Rotari-
ans that he had three separate de-
partments working in the enforce
ment of the liquor laws, the three
which he described at some length,
are the plain clothes department, the
uniformed department, and h e
Identification bureau recently inau-
gurated at Lansing.
"We get from 10 to 20 stills each
week." he said. "Most of that stuff
they make is first class poison. How
ever, it isn't the easiest thing in the
world to locate them, for every time
we find them, they find better way
to hide them from u.s."
Vandercook paid a tribute to the
work of Genesee-co. officials, who,
he declared, were unusually active,
but continued that there are prob
ably loads of liquor run right into
Flint every night by the band of
professional booze runners.
