Lets CO." says Ell shortrldge, and
thereby hangs a tale.
Announcement is made in tho eiab-
crate program issued by Zamora

be held at the Jefferson theatre De-
cember s, that his nibs, Eli of the
tribe OF Shortridge, has adopted for
his slogan, Lets 60"
Even at the first glance It is a
slogan BETTING to a Shriner, but
more so whom coming from a Shriner
and n veteran railroad man. So far
so good.
During the past, week wireless
message was received over the PDQ
broadcasting station that gave a
little further information on the sub
ject of Let's CO." particularly in
reference to the "pote."
In his young manhood, the message
had 1t, Sir ELI was a great admirer of
tho fair sex, and so far as anyone
has been able to notice 1t, he hasn't
got over II yet.
On ono occasion. in those early
days, he desired to escort a certain
young lady to church. 1t was before
the advent generally OF the tele-
phone, so he wrote the young lady
a note. Having q keen sense of hui
NOR and hearing that brevity was
the soul OF wilt, he penned the fol-
lowing epistle to tho young lady:
my Dear Miss, Blank: Let's go to
church"
In a few minutes he got the fol-
lowing reply from his fair inamorata;
MY Dear Mr.. Shortrldge: Let's
don't"
At this point someone broke in on
the wireless and the sequel was lost.
Perhaps tho pote can furnish It.

KAN RAM To HOLD
FIRST CEREMONIAL
At FAIRVIE " SOON
"Trip Up River" Will Be Taken
by 200 Neophytes, Guided
by Prophets, on
December IS

Prophets Of Kan Ram Grotto,
Mystic order Of Yelled Prophets of
the Enchanted Realm, will hold their
first ceremonial at Fairview temple
December Is. More than zoo neo-
phytes are expected to embark on
the fragile boat as the awesome
"trip up tho river" begins. Whether
any Will survive. veteran prophets
refused to forecast.
Although one of the youngest
1airs in the south, Kan Ram started
with goodly membership and has
mapped out busy season. A dance
Wednesday night was the premier of
several social affairs and a jaunt to
linda Grotto at Montgomery Friday
was one of the first visits to other
regions. Among those who made
the journey Friday were Earl Craig,
Joe Sharman. W. J. Douglas and Il.
NJ. Bibb.
Kinda Grotto is much older than
Kan Ram and prophets of that re-
gion are supposed TO be well versed
in the affairs of the enchanted realm
and they are said to have been
pleased with tho astuteness OF the
younger brothers from Kan Ram,
who, 1t is believed, learned much
about the navigation of turbulent
waters. This may aid tho neophytes
at the ceremonial at Fairview.
Two hundred admittedly will over
load the boat, but the prowess of
Kan Ram prophets may guido 1t
through safely. What special ar
rangements will be made for the en-
tertainment of the neophytes has
not been fully decided; however, 1t is
said to be certain that they will not
want for devices for their edifica-
tion.
Other details of the ceremonial and
social affairs to be held thereafter
will be developed later.

Unless it be for the revels in sensa.
tional publicity. Portland certainly
isn't deriving any pleasures from the
school dance case. An unbiased spec
tator wonders if any profits will be de-
rived from the careless and impas-
stoned filings of recriminations. Both
the ants and proponents of the dance
have quoted Scripture. But the devil
has been known to do likewise. 1t
does seem to many adults that fre-
quent dancing should not be an essen
tial to the educational development of
high school students, but modern
youth, precocious and sophisticated
in the eyes of US elders, even as you
and | were to our elders, must be
served. If the youngsters are going
to dance, and it appears that they are
all doing it these days. why not have
these social affairs under proper su-
peryision? In the final analysis the |
school dances are going to be Just
Rhatsthe parents of the students make |
hem or permit them to be. The
Ministerial body might have gained
'etter ends by sincere undertaking

ion instead of an appeal that seems to
ave been nothing more Ethan a per-
mptory demand for prohibition of
ancing.
