The following viii be Of interest
to readers of The Enterprise in con-
nectiOn with the history OF the First
Methodist Episcopal Church:
The Elizabeth Sullivan Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
Bogalusa, Louisiana, was organized
in 1907, under the leadership of
Mrs. W. H. Sullivan, with Rev. E. NJ.
Evans as pastor. ". H. Sullivan
was the first superintendent of the
Sunday School.
From 2 small beginning in 1907
the church has developed until to-
day it is one of the strongest and
best organized congregations in the
Louisiana Conference.
Five years ago interest in the cree
ton of new building was mani
Tested and under the able leadership
of Reverends A. I. Townsley and A.
J. Gearheard the work was carried
forward until in the summer of this
year the dream of the long years be-
came reality and the work on the
new building was started.
From the first the trustees and
all the pastors have felt that the new
edifice should be called the Elizabeth
Sullivan Memorial Church, as token
of appreciation of the great work and
the beneficial influence of Mrs Sui
Ivan. And so today we are ready to
lay the cornerstone of this splendid
structure, and our hearts are warmed
and our memories stirred as we turn
backward the pages of histoy to the
small beginnings under the leadership
of Mrs. Sullivan, and then look for
ward to the golden opportunities of
the future which will be opened to US
through the use of this new building.

SCORES OF CITIZENS
ENJOY CASSIDY POOL

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cassidy of
North Border Drive, have made it
possible for all residents of North
Bogalusa to enjoy bathing during the
summer months, as we'll as friends
from every section of the city, at
their fine swimming pool, which is
located at the rear of the Cassidy
home.
There is never an evening that a
number of people are not enjoying
the pool.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cassidy have ex-
tended an invitation to everyone to
use the pool at any time, and the only
restrictions made is that adults must
accompany children who cannot
swim.
While Mr.. Cassidy has never taken
the time to become master of the
sport, some Of the North Side ma
irons are arranging to get him into
the pool at an early date and attempt
to teach him to swim. In the event
he is not an apt pupil, they propose
to give him a genuine ducking. The
exact date of the first lesson has not
been announced, for the pool will ac-
commodate between twenty-five and
thirty, while not more than $50 ring
side seats would be available, which
would not sbegin to accommodate the
friends of Mr.. Cassidy who desire to
witness the event.

Roster Breaks Camp
On Pearl River

H. e. Roster, local Ford, Lincoln
and FOrdson dealer, who has been
entertaining a large number of citi-
zens at his camp eight miles north of
Bogalusa, on the Mississippi side of
Pearl river, returned this week to BO-
galusa with his family.
The camp was located at one Of the
most picturesque spots on the river
and there was not day during his
two weeks camp that several BOga-
lusa families did not visit him. The
camp was one of the best equipped
that could possibly be arranged and
reminded one more of home in the
woods than a camp. Electric lights
operated by a storage battery; an
Edison talking machine, an oil range,
with two cooks on the job; an ice
box and swings and cots were just
few of the unusual features of the
camp. It required a tractor and s.
ton trailer to move the equipment,
while Mr.. Roster had his Lincoln and
a flock of Fords to carry supplies
and passengers from BOgalusa and
Poplarville to the camp.
Mr.. Rosters friends residing in the
vicinity of the camp, and there were
a score or more of them, assisted in
cakes, pastries and game
of various kinds.
On Thursday night Charles Flour
noy took his flock of fox hounds to
the camp, where a big chase was
started and a great treat was given
the guests.
One of the most interesting days
at the camp was when the four gen
erations of the Roster family were
present, and which consisted of Mrs.
Flora Burris, Mrs. D. NJ. Wadsworth,
Mrs. H. E. Roster and her three chill
dren. The photograph, taken in front
of the camp, is shown elsewhere IN
this issue of The Enterprise.

ISL. WILL CONTINUE IN FULL
OPERATION; 700 SOUTHERN CARS
TOBE REPAIREDATLOCAL SHOPS

BOgalusa can secure 700 Southern
Railroad cars to repair during the
next few months, and that they will
be delivered at the rate Of 25 cars
per day. This will give employment
to rs or more men. When the cars
are repaired, they can be loaded with
lumber and shipped, which will make
1t possible to continue to operate the
Great Southern Lumber, for it has
been known that it was just Uues-
ton Of short time until they would
have no available space in which to
stack the daily lumber cut, as the
embargo and car shortage has held
the shipments to the lowest point in
the history of the great organization.
The solution Of the problem viii
come as exceptionally good news to
all citizens of Bogalusa, for, unless
the car situation improved and the
present embargo raised, which has
been daily growing worse, it was just
a question Of days until both the
Great Southern Lumber Company
and the Bogalusa Paper Company
would be compelled to close down.
AS a result of the new arrangement,
1t is believed Bogalusa will be more
prosperous than an manufacturing
city in the South.
