Civic Club Notes

An interesting letter has been re-
ceived from Mr.. Jedediah Bruleyhorn
in which he says that all this noise
about civic club house makes MN
think of a train footing few miles
before it gets to the station. The
train may be sidetracked for a time
but the station waits. Mr.. Bruley-
horn believes in giving women as
much freedom as they can use. He
bought washing machine for his
wife years ago, and says he would
be glad to take her to town VIII
him when he has to 60 on business,
IL only she might have a place to
rest and meet her friends and fresh
en- her mind bit She can't do
much shopping with little Jed In
her arms. Having the other two
children in school means more spare
time for her, and she wants to Join
the Civic club. His next paragraph
is worth quoting:
Il wish my wife and the other
women might be content to be aux
illary members of our lodge, since
this arrangement would save us jan
itor wages, but Ashland is bound
to grow, and hope the women may
be among those who help the goot
work along, even though they do II
their own way, and even II have
to spend few dollars to get things
started. / believe II is a good in
yestment."
Mr.. Bruleyhorn quantity add
that the women who oppose, con
denim and fight every new idea OF
change of any sort, are the SAINT
little girls who used to stand by thu
old school house fence and refuse tC
play the game. The curious part wai
that they not only refused to play
bpt did all the could to spoil thu
game for the other children. They
never suggested any game them
selves, yet resented the Ideas Of any
other child and we're constantly
peeved lest they be asked to fill ir
when more girls were needed tc
make the game a success.
Mr. Bruleyhorn says that he seel
both sides to most propositions, and
hopes that the non-club house fac
tion may take advantage OF press
publicity and public discussions al
club meetings, urging that the WON
en- avoid harsh language, bad tenn
per, unsigned letters and other vul'
garities in stating their objectioni
TO having a women's club house In
Ashland. They may not know how
many thousand women's club houses
are in our fair land today. He payi
a compliment to the pro-club house
faction because Of the sincerity OF
their efforts and their desire to be
of service and pleasure to Ashland
and her guests. even at the expense
Of considerable personal comfort
He ends his letter with the follow
ing couplet:
please re-read the Golden Rule
You used to lisp in Sunday school.

"Heads Off, Gentlemen!r

Gosh all F'riday-say but the next
few days did see a tear-up to beat the

the printing of his appointment cir

in the headquarters building lately
vacated by Mr.. Shaffer, and It was
something awful to see the way the

Norcross slammed him into place ten
minutes after he hit the town.
