BUSINESS FINE

Business is fine. Merchants are reporting the best holiday season in prospect in many year. There Is no unemployment. and the millions from Birmingham's gigantic payrolls are finding their way into the chan nels of trade and into the savings banks.
 Railroads are carrying heavier loads than they have had since the peak of the. war congestion. Passenger and frieght business both denote the sub- stantial activity of a prosperous era.
 And this, when Thanksgiving year ago-two years ago-there was glumness and depression and those of deflation.
 So it is with an air of genuine re- joicing that father and mother wei come son home for Thanksgiving din- ner, even if he has to rush away to the football game ere the turkey and mincemeat pie have had chance to become a decent memory. Railroad men haven't checked up on the youth of passengers rolling into Birming- ham, but they are willing to take a chance and say that indications are there is heavy travel among sons and daughters, home to have turkey with the folks.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Special programs in all the theatres will draw thousands during the after noon and evening. And that football game at Redwood in the afternoon will be the most colorful affair of the year. A southern conference cham pionship hangs in the balance, and the sturdy teams of Alabama and Florida, both in perfect trim, arc ready and snorting for the kickoff. An overflow crowd is sure to attend.
 Most of the stores will be closed all day, and a general holiday will be observed at the city hall, post office, court house and other admin istrative buildings. The school chil- dren will be turned lose before noon for a three-day holiday. From every angle, 1t looks like real Thanks giving.
 With everything to be thankful for. Birmingham will sit down to its Thanksgiving dinner with a feeling of equanimity for the present and roseate confidence for the future.
 Business is good. The steel mills are rolling, the furnaces are turning out pigs of iron by the thousand tons the cement mills are further cementing the industrial solidarity of the district, and 800 odd factories throughout Greater Birmingham are throbbing with the production of 1,60o varieties of manufactured products.

Since the organization OF the Show
agan Rotary Club the question of
what Is Rotary and Its benefits has
often been asked. With service as
it's slogan the objects of tho Rotary
are TO encourage and foster: High
ethical standards In business and pro-
fesslon; the ideal of service as the
basis of all worthy enterprise; the
active interest OF every Rotarian in
the civic, commercial, social and moral
welfare OF his community; the develop
ment OF 4 broad mountaineering as
an opportunity for service as well as
an aid to success; the interchange OF
ideas and of business usefulness OF
Rotarlans; the recognition of the
worthiness of all legitimate occupa-
lions and the dignify3ng OF the occu-
patton OF each Rotarian as affording
lin an opportunity to serve society.
These are the objects which the Show
l,egan men are working for at their
weekly meetings in G.. A r. Hall.
