MEN TO SERVICE

A convincing plea for the Plum
mer Prisoners parole bill was de-
livered at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the Kiwanis Club this
afternoon by Joseph S. Hamilton. So
convincing, in fact. were the argu
ments in behalf of the measure he
advanced. that the Kiwanians decid
ed to get behind the bill.
Mr.. Hamilton, who is a Rotarian
and a trustee of the New Castle
County Workhouse, was given the
courtesy of the floor by the Kiwanis
Club and was warmly applauded at
the close of his address. William H.
Beacon promptly moved that Guy r.

luncheon was DIR. Lewis Seymour
Nudge, state Clerk of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian

clared human life was nothing un-
less accompanied by service" and
that each person who is worth while
not only must be good. but also be
good for something"
Service IS fundamental law OF
life and the question which each
man and woman should ask OF him
self or herself Is: Am I putting as
much into the common fund of So
clety as am taking out. or Am a
leech and a CRATER. putting in nt-
tie and taking out much more"

American flag as the symbol of
service, performed in
1875, 1912 1860, 1898 and 1919.

man four-square with the world all
