The Mems Union

A lively discussion was held by
the Mems Union of Holly Sunday
afternoon at the Presbyterian
church. The question for the day,
What can we do to benefit HOlly?''
was vigorously discussed by the
men present. One or two speakers
condemned the pool halls of the
town as centers of idlcness and mi.
.quity An attack was made on the
public dance halls. ut Is bad
enough, said one speaker "to have
our young people go to any sort OF
n dance but when they patronizc
the public dance. especially our
public school teachers. who arc
supposed to be examples for the
young, it Is time to call a halt. !
have even heard that lady teachers
dance with their boy pupils. Moth
ing could bc.more dcmoralizing tc
the authority or dignity of th'
teacher. ] have been told that in
stead of discountenacing the dane
ing of teachers, the School Boart
has actually encouraged the prac
ticc,"
The matter of church attendance
came up and while it was conceded
that some went to church to saw
their faces instead of their souls
this was better than ignoring the
churches altogether. Unless thf
present generation set an example
OF church going to the children Of
today not only the. church but the.
community must grievously suffer
The matter that created the most
discussion was the question "ou@h'

schools of. Hnlly?" So many wanted
to talk on this question it was de
cided to make 1t special topic. for

WOULD BALK PROBE
NOW OF WAR GRAFT

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-(United
Press) )-Republic leaders in the
House laid plans today for baking
passage of the pending resolution
calling for an investigation Of the
conduct of the Department OF Jus
tlce in war graft cases.
From a reliable source It was
learned that Mondell, floor leader.
and other party leaders. apparently
working In close touch with the ad-
ministration. have decided to do
everything they can to stave Off the
Investigation. Taking at face value
Attorney General Daugherty's state
ment that prosecutions in fraud cases
are soon to be started, they Will
vigorously oppose any attempt to
bring the resolution before the House
for consideration and II they fail in
this. they will try to marshal enough
votes TO kill the resolution when 1t
comes TO a vote.
An investigation, these leaders
contend. would only serve injury in
that It would reveal the hand" Of
the Department OF Justice and lay
bare many secrets which should be
made known only in the courts.
