C.-S. CLUB NOTES

Much interest is being aroused
among club members and others
as we'll, over the community build
ing idea and although nothing
more than talking has been done
as yet, facts, locations, and floor
plans have been hunted up and
discussed and it is to be hoped
that before another winter comes
to Eagle River a suitable building
large enough to house all the So
cial activities in Eagle River and
the surrounding territory, will
have become a possibility.
A building of this size is too
large for any organization to
build alone and it is to be hoped
that each and every one who
would like to see a building like
this in Eagle River will help this
idea to spread and we will in the
future have a big building where
each and every organization in
Eagle River will have a suitable
meeting place and also have
suitable place for the library and
a welfare department.
A Bunco party will be given
Sunday afternoon, Oct. 21st, at
the home Of Mrs. Clifford Thomp-
son in Eagle River. Everyone in
vited.
Now that the busy season is
over, members are requested to
attend the meetings regularly
that we may be able to carry out
some of the many plans started
earlier in the season.

gressional Committee on Reorgan-
ization of the Executive branch of
the Government pointed out that
the first six Presidents to- die av-
eraged 1916 years of age; the next
ten 68.5 years; the last ten, 61.8
years. He recommends that the
President have a staff of six assis-
tants to tighten his work. They
should consist of a secretary to
the President, acting as private
secretary; an executive secretary,
who would have four assistants
divided as follows: an assistant in
charge of personnel, dealing with
otfice-seekers, and so forth; an as
sistant in charge of legislation in
both Houses, keeping the Presi-
dent informed; an assistant in
charge of publicity to report on
public opinion, to present the
President with pertinent clippings
and gather material for speeches,
and an assistant in charge of ap-

Copper applied in solution of
oil is now being used instead of
tar for preserving rope. Marine
pests eat the tar out of the rope
and then devour the rope itself,
but with the copper-impregnated
rope there is no damage resulting
from marine pests. The copper
bulks less, weighs less and costs
less to apply than tar.

persons of children are near his
line of travel, Detroit Judge de-
MED motion to dismiss the COM
plant of negligent homicide

held it is the duty of the driver to
stop when children or old persons
are in the way.
