LEAP YEAR CASE
SETTLED NICELY
Hamelink Pays Costs in
Assault Case Brought
by Miss Rose.
CASE IS DISMISSED

An audience that gathered IN the
municipal court room this morning
were disappointed because they had
looked forward to decision OF Judge
Slater in the case of the state VS..
Neal Hamelink, in order to establish
the rights Of women under the leap
wear tradition; can she or can she
not pursue man to his room and
force him to keep a so-called date" !
But by the dismissal of the case
on the payment of the costs by the
defendant, the crowd was forced to
60 home without having the import
ant matter settled.
Neal Hamelink, who rooms at the
Fischer hotel, was arrested on the
complaint of Miss Emma Rose, who
complained that he had assaulted, beat
and bruised her. Hamelink's story
was that the girl had come to his
room in the hotel Sunday evening ten
days ago, and wanted him to take
her out to a show. He said he was
not interested in her company, didn't
want to go out with her that even
ing, was in fact a little "bored" and
threw her out.
This morning when the case was CALL
ed for hearing, the assistant district
attorney appeared TO be anxious to
get the case off the boards and was
willing to dismiss it.
eve will agree to dismiss" he said,
eff the defendant will pay the costs"
"Let the complaining witness pay

The group moved into the court
room.

state wants us to pay the costs and
they will dismiss but we don't like to
pay anything"
An Interesting Case.
"Oh," said the Judge, "this is an
interesting case. / have been petit
toned for reserved seats when the
trial goes forward. Why should q
man throw nice young lady out of
room 2"
"Why should a nice young lady come
to a mans room ?" returned the young
lawyer.
"This is leap year, you know" said
the judge.
"Well, man still ought to have
some rights" said Ruetz.
ave shall have to ask continu-
ance of this case" said the assistant
district attorney, because / have sent
the witnesses home. / have to be in
circuit court across the street"
Ruetz conferred moment with his
client.
"Rather than have more delay and
come back here again, we will con-
sent to pay the COSTS" said Ruetz, and
it was accordingly so ordered
Hamelink forked out $4.05 and paid
it in to the clerk of the court. Every
body seemed to be good-natured, and
there seemed to be no "hard feelings,
at least not on the part of the defend
ant.
"There wasn't much to it," said
Hamelink as he counted out change,
"but I've been razzed to death over
this"

INTERNATIONAL CIVITAN

was the international Association of
Civitan Clubs.
The men who organized Civitan
were led by DR.. G. w. Shropshire.
The first officers were: DR.. C. w.
Shropshire, president; Rev. ]. A. Nc
Sporran, vice-president; John H.
Frye, treasurer; John V. Mix, secre-
tary; Frank E. Butler, Jelks H. Cab
aniss, Kenneth C. Charleton, A. C.
Crowder, Chas. G. Davis, C. L. Ha-
gan, Leo Kayser, Reid Lawson and
R. P. MCGOWAN, trustees.
Civitan started with one club. In
the first year twenty-nine clubs were
organized. In the second year this
number had increased to seventy
two. And the growth has continued
steadily since then.
Many times six thousand men have
had their names on the Civilian ros-
ters, but as they have ceased to be-
come active their names have been
dropped. In this respect Civilian is
different from other organizations.
Tersely, its members are active or
they cease to become members. The
dead wood is kept pruned. And the
men who belong are the highest type
of men in the country. They repre-
sent the cream of our citizenship.
1t all boils down to the fact that
Civitan is solid. It's foundation is not
of sand, but of concrete.
Of course it took work. 1t took
devotion and loyalty to put the or
ganization over. Many of the finest
acts of the men who have made Civ
ltan have been unheralded and un-
sung. But Civilian is not an organ
ization which employs agents to twen-
ty four sheet its doings. They do
not pay bards to sing of their knight
ly deeds. These men work for ideals
and principles. Their reward, the
knowledge of work well done and
a deeper love of country-and a con-
seriousness of having toiled to better
that country, is in itself sufficient
and is one of the finest rewards the
Almighty makes available to man.
And what has Civilian dona9 Tn
hundred cities it has bettered civic
conditions. It has made happy thou
sands of youngsters. The greatest
fruit of its efforts is yet too young
for the harvest. That is the incul-
eating of clean ideals of citizenship

in war service,) and when / returned
l found club Of approximately one
hundred and fifty members, which
during the war had come to the very
forefront in this community and had
borne, jointly with the other lunch
con clubs, the burden Of putting
across every drive in which the gov
eminent had asked to take part. I
found club which had a recognized
place in the community. During the
next year one member of that club
began to have vision. He men
toned it to some of his friends, and
they took it somewhat as matter Of
a joke. They did not take him very
seriously at first, but that vision per-
sisted in his brain, and it grew, and
finally his whole thought was devo-
ted to the idea that this thing which
we have here is too good for Birm-
ingham alone; if it is worthy of the
citizens of Birmingham, it is worthy
of the citizens of other communities
in this Southland Of ours primarily,
and in the entire country at large.
That vision which this member had,
gentlemen, is realized today. This
convention is the realization of a
dream of that man who, in the local
club, typifes and examplifes good
citizenship. That was the vision of
DR.. c. w. Shropshire. So much for
the past
A little over one year ago the Civ
itan Club of Birmingham arranged
to incorporate under the laws of the
state of Alabama, the international
Association of Civilian Clubs. Dur
ing that year the club has grown, has
expanded, until now there are thir-
ty cities having representation in
this association.

in the minds of the school children
future citizens. And as these
children reach maturity and take
over the reins Of affairs, the work
of Civitan will become known
throughout the length and breadth
Of the universe. Making better cit
liens of our children means purify
ing the political and civic conditions
of the country. It insures the sta
bility of the greatest government on
each and makes of this country a
better place to live in. And that is
the greatest accomplishment of all.
On April Is, the fourth anniver-
sary of Ciyitan, there are accomplish
ments that make an epic to be re-
called. To what heights Civitan will
reach in the coming four years is
hard to predict, the possibilities are
so great.
Extracts From Address of Welcome
For the Civilian Club of Birm-
ingham, June 2, 1921, First
Annual Convention
What is the history of this or
ganization that we representa-"
In the early months of 1917, ten
citizens of Birmingham became
charter members of local club un-
der a national organization. An or
ganizer came here and installed this
local club. The membership was i'm
mediately increased to twenty-five.
After a few weeks of service with
this national organization it was the
unanimous opinion of the member
ship of the local club that its aims
and ideals were not in keeping with
those which prompted US in banding
ourselves together. We reached the
conclusion, whether properly or not,
that the main purpose of that organ
ization was to make money for some
one and we thereupon surrendered
our charter. We concluded that the
idea which brought us together had
merit, and we decided to continue
together as local club. We adopt
ed the name which this club now
bears, ''The Civitan Club" We took
it from the Latin word pertaining to
the state or citizenship, because we
felt that our fundamental aim would
be the building of citizenship.
Shortly thereafter I dropped out
of the picture for two years Mote

THE BEGINNING OF
CIVITAN IN BIRMING-
HAM APRIL Is, 1920

History was made in Birmingham,
Ala, on April Is, 1920, for it was
on that day that small but far-see-
ing group Of citizens met and held
the first meeting of the international
Association of Civilian Clubs. That
they builded well is amply proved by
the present international Association
with its 100 odd clubs and 5000
members. Compared with some or
CARNATIONS, this membership may
seem small. So may the number Of
clubs. But there's quality there, for
every member is a worker, a cog in
the great machine, and every club
is a unit The international Asso-
citation of Civilian Clubs is now one
of the anchors of this country. An
organization that stands for logical
thinking-for faith in the greatness
of the government-an personifies
that saying made thousands of years
ago that the combination of faith
and works can accomplish great
things.
Civilian is like the oak with its
steady, consistent growth. The winds
of opinion-and they are numerous
at this time-cannot shake it. AS
the years pass it will increase in
stature and always it's roots will be
deep and solid. 1t is founded on
ideals which are kept pure by think
ing men.
Like the oak, it started as an acorn.
In Birmingham it was first a local
organization, a small group of men,
SO small as to be insignificant, who
banded together to put into practice
the ideals that were responsible for
the inception of this country and
which, In an era of commercialism
were drifting into obscurity. The
organization was so small as to be
passed unnoticed. But by its work
it became known. After the war.
the Birmingham Civilians decided to
extend the organization. The result
