ishes Of the state donated $50 for
! prizes to boys who planted trees dur
, ing the past year. Mr.. Sullivan was
| the originator of the idea and Com
missioner of Conservation Alexan-
der recently stated that the idea was
zone Of the most valuable submitted
to his department in many years and
! that great results had already been
accomplished.
Mr.. Sullivan suggested that the
business men of Bogalusa invest their
money in BOgalusa property and en-
terprises and that a different atti-
tude must be taken by many if the
city IS to prosper as it should.
Must Have Canning Factory
In speaking of the canning factory,
Mr., Sullivan said:
Il have talked and we have all
talked a good many times about
building canning factory. am go
ing to be very much interested in
working with you gentlemen in this
Chamber of Commerce, if we DO
something, and if you want me to
serve another year, am perfectly
willing to do that, provided we build
a canning factory. If you do not
build canning factory, l am not
willing to do anything else. Mr..
White thinks we can interest some
Of the men in Crothersville in this
canning factory. If / make a mis-
take in suggesting that we build a
canning factory, nothing will ever
cause me to make another suggestion
about building anything else. / feel
that we are going to make a success
of it.
81 am 'bug-house' on this canning
factory. Several times during the
building of this city, Mr.. Starns has
been very active in getting the farm
ers together and getting them inter-
ested. am going to make you all
committee of one to help Mr.. Starns
do this, and / know that we will get
the canning factory. / want to ap-
point a committee of two men, one
of them Mr. Starns, who has been
very successful in interesting farm
ers il the past, and who knows them
all md the other one is Mr.. Cowgirl,
enc Is us, and. while he gets weak
kneed and wants to leave, he has not
been lately, and / think he is safely
hooked now. / would like to see
these two men take charge of the
building of this canning factory, and
now I know we are going to have a
canning factory. We are all going
to take an interest in it and we are
all going to help. pledge you my
word of honor that if a year and
half from now, if we have not made
a success of this canning factory,
never in my life will l ask you to do
else. And this is how con-
fident am in the seccess of the fac
tory, for 1 intend to keep on asking
you to do'things."
Band Committee Busy
The committee appointed to or
ganize a band have already held
meeting and have decided to not only
have band, but at the same time
to try and develop a boys band. An
bandmaster will be Sc
cured who can devote all his time to
the band. The committee is now
busy busy on their budget and feel
they will have little trouble in rails
ing sufficient funds.
Importance of Synagogue
"There is just one other thing I
wanted to talk about" said Mr.. Sui
Ivan. "Some of the most prominent
men are Jews. Every time
/ think of the Jews in Bogalusa, l
think of a meeting some time ago
where there were forty-two men pres
ent, and some of those men are here
now who attended that meeting.
"The question was asked, If you
die, where will you be buried; or if
any of the others of your family die,
where will they be buried?' There
was only one man who said that he
wanted to be buried here. All of the
rest said, we are going to be buried
back home I have lot now in Buff
falO where Fred is buried. We did
not have any cemetery except the
old one that the negroes now use.
This meeting made such an impress
