Reminisces ~ .,.
charles L. Martin sat back In MS
chair in the dining room at l.u i.u
saturday. He had just lnnched sumrs
trouslv and puffed on a huge cigar as
~ hing his thumbs in his vest pockets.
prood beams lit up his features: HIS
axe took in the huge gallery following.
Ton,tsburv and Hoffner out there on
tbe sixteenth, and the other verdant
stretches all around dotted with other
matches.
mobiles parked out there. the bustlc
sround the starters tent, the constant
canning and going Of golfers and tans
around the clubhouse which bespeaks
something doing at a golf course:
who'd ever have thought it?' he
murmured finally. Then came forth
tbe real story of the humble. not to say
droll start of the Lu Lu Temple
Country Club.
Almost ten years ago two prominent
citizens of Philadelphia were annoyed
by the pangs Of hunger while riding
IN an automobile in the cnvirons OF the
city. They pulled up roadhoMse
and ordered hearty repast. The
service was not lightning, or near 1t.
In fact it seemed to be a case of "you
can order what you want but try and
get It,"
They waited more than an hour
before they got anything, and this was
epicureanly suitable. The two voyageurs
departed more annoyed and still hungry.
They ratified along without speaking
N Nor time.
| Why Not?
"Why isn't there a roadhouse where
you can motor and get what you want,
when you want 1t, the way you want 1t :?
demanded Charles l.. Martin of the
other.
Lets start one" replied W. Free
n land Kendrick. for it was indeed he.
1t was bet. The next day they
started out in the quest. They came
on the farmhouse, site of the present Lu
Lu club at North Glensidc, Pa.
"What'll you rent your place for?"
they asked the farmer.
For the land and all?" asked the
farmer. Forty dollars a month"
Even that price did not deter the ad-
centurers.
You're on" they answered in uni
son, and the papers were signed.
When they came out Kcndrick handed
Martin $40 bill.
My dues he explained simply.
'lt'll be club. You're the first pr1si-
dent and I'm the first member. -
Inside of n week they had 100 other
m'mbers. all Mobiles. With that crowd
and $40 property, they thought they
ought to incorporate. They did. For
years that huge charter was the most
imposing thing in the clubhouse. Even
row It is Drowned. not by age, but from
Na fact that it hung in the kitchen
where the steam from the stewing peas
and frying ham waited over it like a
caress in those humble but happy days.
The waving fields of corn without,
ana the struggling rows of tomatoes
outside S withered and died, All the life
was inside. Joy rcigned there.
Golfers Speak Up
