Like Him In Rlount

Chris Colias does many generous acts through the years. The Southern Democrat of Oneenta acknowledges one of them in a issue, saying: No wonder people of this place go to Chris cafe when in Birmingham. There are two reasons. It is a fine place to get square meal, and be- sides, Mir, Colas has always taken interest in, and been a friend of the Blount County High school. He gave liherally to the construction fund. because, he said, he had many friends here who had been his friends and customers Since then he has made many contributions to the schools upkeep.
 He was told tine other day by Oneneta friends who were in his place that we were making improve ments' on the building. He ordered his clerk to draw a check for s100 to help us out again No wonder we ap- preeiate this popular and generous Greek who has done so much for our school"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Echoes of Picnic


 When l get started about the picnic which the Birmingham Auto mobile club save last Tuesday at East Lake in compliment to the depen- dent children os the city, I don't know when to stop" said Louis Stern, who assisted enthusiastically at the party. Somebody asked me how many Ice cream cones we served, and I quick ly said: Twenty-Five hundred Bue as matter of>tact, there were some who doubled up on us; in reality there were between 1,500 and 1,yo0 chill dren present, and it they'd all been like one little boy, well, we just wouldn't have had enough to go around. This particular little fellow kept on coming up for ice cream and finally he confessed to eating seven cones. Another youngster came up to me with a balloon in one hand and one in his mouth; he had three cakes in the other hand and an ice cream cone: and he asked me for a bottle of soda water. asked him where he was going to put it, and begged him to let me hold his balloon for him, but no indeed; he held on to all his possessions and took the drink too, and was as happy as big sun flower.
 "A little fellow who stuttered kept asking for c-c-h-h h o-o- -o-late ice we only had vanilla, but that didn't stop him. He was determined that 'c-c-h -h-o-o-c-o-late' was what he wanted"

 On previous occasions when Bir- mingham was crowded with visitors there were doubtless isolated cases of profiteering, but it is creditable to this city that such practices have never been widespread. Since the semi-centennial celebration and the visit of President Harding are ex- pected to attract the largest number of visitors in the history of Bir- mingham, the semi-centennial com mittee is doing the proper thing to make assurance doubly sure that hotels and restaurants will charge reasonable prices.
