fEuSEey Bureau.l

Oscar W. Underwood, senior United States senator from Alabama. will ad- dress the Ensley Kiwanis club Thurs day at noon. Having deferred an invi- tatiOn of the Ensley club since the be- ginning of his campaign in this state for the presidential nomination. Senator Underwood will be present with Walter Moore. national committeeman from Alabama. The program committee of the club announced Tuesday that owing to the desire of the club to give Senator Underwood as much time on the pro gram as possible, other features would be carried over until next week
 The subject of the address by the senator was not given. but it IS thought he will speak of Pittsburs plus, which has created such widespread interest in this district.
 The presence of Senator Underwood with Walter Moore, will perhaps cause a large attendance of outside guests There are many friends of the two eiti- zens who are not members of the local club, but it is expected that the mem bers will issue sufficient invitations to make the meeting a large one.
 The Kiwanis club has been trying for some time to secure the attendance of Senator Underwood at one of its meet ings but for the pressure of business he would have attended some time ago
 Drive Approved The MOntevallO drive for an endowment fund was ap- proved with unusual enthusiasm at the Tuesday meeting of the Ensley ASsOcia- ton Merchants. The drive in all of it's details was presented by Birmingham members of Vhe general committee and the association promptly went on rec ord as being in hearty accord with the movement and willing to render all pos sible aid in getting the campaign handled promptly and efficiently in this part of the district.
 The endorsement of MOntevallO was followed by an informal discussion of the parallel parking situation existing in EnSley. There appears to be Objec- tiOns to the plans and the matter was postponed for two or three weeks. The association has already approved the ordinance under which the parking is being handled, after mature cOnsidera- ton, So that the opinion prevails that no further action will be taken.
