AT LUNCHEON
with the CLUBS
CIVITAN

Believing that the administrative
problems confronting the city of
Birmingham are largely business
problems, the Junior Chamber OF
Commerce has undertaken to present
suggestions to the citizens of Biz
mingham for creating government
that will meet these problems in a
business manner" said James A..
Simpson at the luncheon of the Civ
itan club Friday. Mr. Simpson spoke
on the council manager form of gov-
errm7nt, to be proposed in bill pro-
vidiag for referendum on the
question to the next Legislature by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
"A survey conducted by the Junior
Chamber among representative citi-
zens Of Birmingham rveals the fact
that 10 per cent Of those citizens are
dissatisfied with the present com
mission form of government This
does not mean that there is any
dissatisfaction whatever with the
present commissioners, for there is,
l believe, none. The defect is with
the method of government; the tools
that they have TO work WITH
"A survey Of all cities in the United
states over $4,000 population showed
that 295 of them, representing pop
ulation of approximately 100000,
had the council manager form Of
government. A questionnaire sent
to representative citizens of these
municipalities representing cross
sections of their civic life, showed
that rs per cent of these people
thought their system of government
the best that could be employed.
Under our proposed scheme, there
will be 30 aldermen elected from Is
many wards. one mayor. and one city
manager. Aldermen will receive sal
aries OF $40 per mouth for part time
service, and the mayor will receive
a similarly small salary. He will be
the ceremonial head of the city. He
Will ride at the head OF parades, re-
ceive Presidents and pitch the first
ball at the opening of the season. The
city manager will be the executive
head of the city. He will be paid q
salary of not less than $4,000 year
and as much as the council sees lit
to pay him.
Mrs Mary tlchols, commissioner of
health and educa ton, was present at
the luncheon. She will make refuta-
ton at the next meeting of the club
to the arguments of Mr.. simpson
She favors the commission form o.
government.

Paris, July 1s:-[Correspondence
of The Associated Press, 1-Children
Therefore American Y. NJ. C. A.,
workers among boys are planning
their future work largely among
those who tomorrow must run the
half wrecked machinery or the
world.
Fifty of these workers, from TWEEN
ty countries, gathered recently in a
little town in Czechoslavakia to pre-
pare for the Second Worlds Confer
ence of the Y. NJ. C. A. Workers
Among Boys which probably will
be held in Austria next summer.
They pledged themselves to bring
together 500 delegates from all
countries with Y M. c. AS. and to
raise funds to finance conference
where the men who are working
and give practical demonstration OF
their methods in building character
among the boys of Europe.
1.-The most practical thing-and
the easiest-,"said Professor Frank
Thomas, vice president of the world
committee, "is to win over the
youth that will be the humanity OF
tomorrow young people are. easier
to win over than adults because
they are more supple, more enthu-
siastic, more ardent and less self
interested than their elders, and be-
cause they are sick of the state OF
the world as We have prepared It
for them. They have enough OF all
these compromises and meannesses.
and of the pretexts of diplomatic
skill, and many of them are determ-
ined to- attempt something quite
new, something with more upright
ness, more purity, honesty, kindli-
ness and beauty They are young
and the young have illusions. They
have confidence in life and in man.
and the ardor and hopefullness that
no one longer finds in older men"
