 She will then be asked to attend the o'clock general and regular meeting of the league, and to address the body.
 A Little History
 Mrs. Johnston says:
 No woman in Birmingham should fail to avail herself of the opportu- nifty of meeting and welcoming to the Magic City this woman, who was largely responsible for getting the Susan B. Anthony amendment through Congress. Mrs. Park is one of the most astute, finest women pol iticians and lobbyists in the United States. Her fame is world wide. She also had great deal to do with help ing get the Sheppard -Towner bill through. We cannot be positive yet that Mrs Park will make an address, but we are sure that she will attend the o'clock meeting. These are public affairs which anyone can at tend. The meeting is held upstairs at the Hillman."
 It was totally unexpected that Mrs. Park would come to Birmingham. She

HARRISON ASKS
 REFERENDUM ON
 DANCE QUESTION
Commissioner States That Local Organizations Are Behind the Movement
 to Open Pier

Petitions to obtain the names of the required number of qualified vo- ters calling for referendum in order to give the people of Birmingham an opportunity to vote on the open- ing of Pershing Pier at East Lake, the municipal dance hall, will prob ably be circulated this week accord ing to a statement made yesterday by Commissioner w. l.. Harrison.
 Members of the various civic or ganizations and clubs have signified their intention of circulating these petitions unless the city commission took acton calling for election for the purpose of giving the qualified electors an opportunity of expressing themselves on this issue. it Is stated.
 Since the opening of Pershing pier was denied by the city commission at it's meeting last week by vote of to when President D. E. McLendon, Commissioners w. B. Cloe and W. E. Dickson opposed it and Commission CTS Harrison and Echols favored it, much interest has been manifested in the matter.
 Commend stand
 Hundreds of letters and telephone calls have been received by Mrs. Echols and MT. Harrison commend ing them on the stand they have taken on this issue and many promi- nent men and women have assured them that they would assist in call ing a referendum in order to permit the people to have some say in the matter.
 Indications are that the referen- mil ha 1otlod said HaTTi- son, "as 1 have been assured by mem- bers of local organizations that peti- tions were being prepared and would be placed in circulation this week. As far as I am, concerned I have gone as far as 1 can with this project, but will gladly cooperate and assist any one in having this question settled by the people. The dancing pavilion was erected at a cost of SfS,000 and has never been used for the purpose for which 1t was erected and last year this park was operated at a loss of $14,o00 to the city.
 Peoples Money
 T am not in favor of spending the peoples money out there and operat- ing East Lake as an amusement park and have it lose money for the city annually. If dancing is not permitted theresthen I will recommend that the park be operated as recreation park rather than an amusement park. 1 will bring this matter up before the commission and ask them to decide whether East Lake is to be turned into recreation center or to be op erated es an amusement park. In the meantime [ am waiting for the people to say whether or not they want to vote on the c Nstion and if they do then l am willing 70 back them up to the last minute"
