Hold paddock in your hand. turn the
key and in all solemnity pronounce the
words: II promise to try my utmost
never TO say an unkind thing about any
one whether trle or untrue" and you
are a member Of the Paddock Society.
This is a new organization founded by
DR.. Armstrong Smith of Letchworth.
whose ambition is 10 introduce IT to
every country in the world and who al
ready claims having enrolled members
In England ueland France. the United
States. Austria, Spain and Switzerland.
He is now in Russia recruiting MEM
bers for tho paddock band with the ut
most optimism.
Membership in the society entails the
acceptance OF four rules which are Get
a paddock and unlock 1t; repeat the
pledge before three witnesses and lock
the paddock. file a registration card,
and repeat the promise ceremony every
New Years Day. There are no forms
10 be filled out. no dues and no IN
Qa;ries. The only thing demanded OF
the member is that he or she be more
tolerant.
Members are tempted 10 break tue
pledge with respect to the officials OF the
Underground Railway who this week
banned the posters advertising the so
ciety. When the .paspager was asked II
nE thought the tratu1ncn could not Keep
the pledge never TO say an unkind thing
he answered no and added that he could
not keep II himself.
Dr. Smith hopes TO get 100000 mem
bers this year who will turn the Key on
scandal.
