 DISCUSS JOINT BUILDING
 The Kiwanis club Of Ensley at it's meeting Thursday discussed infor- mally the consolidation of the court house and city hall and to the public affairs committee referred the dues- tion of attempting to get the city and county officials as one on that prop osition. M. H. McDowell is chairman of the committee.
 D. P. Knapp brought the matter be- fore the Kiwanians and suggested that disinterested parties might pour sufficient oil upon the troubled waters to bring about peace among the city and county officers and this sugges- tion caused the appointment of the committee. The club also referred the pending electrical ordinance to the same committee for action. The charge was made before the club that the electrical ordinance was filled more severe than the well known plumbers ordinance. This was suf- ficient argument to bring consider able opposition to the measure and 1t is stated the Kiwanis club committee will enter a protest against the meas ure.
 The Thursday luncneon was fea- tured by an address by Fred Mckee on features of his business that proved to be of interest to his asso- ciates and in a measure reflected the work that has been done here lately by the business men in a cooperative way. There followed an address by Clyde Pippin of Pippin Brothers wholesale produce dealers. in which l. <vtu idea of the rapidity of Ensley's growth he would say that the busi- ness of his firm was $30,O00 the first year. It was started here 12 years age and for 1923 his firm did over $300,- 900. President Turnipseed announced the appointment of the committee fol the year and other routine matters were handled.
 FREE CLINIC OPENED
 pr. Andrew L. Gaston announced Thursday before the Kiwanis clul that from 1:S0 o'clock every Thurs day afternoon until 3 o'clock ht would operate a free clinic in hi: offices in the Averyt building.

He i: one of the most widely known spe:: cialists on the eye, ear, nose anc throat in the Birmingham district His services are free to those who ara unable to pay.
 Dr. Gaston, in making the an. nouncement before the kiwanis club of which he is a member, said that in order to keep from being imposed upon he requested the Kiwanians tc okeh all cases that may come under their observations. but that all per sons would be treated without cost a fnad that fhay would be otherwise deprived of needed relief.
 The members of the Kiwanis club cheered Dr. Gaston when he gave the and later commended it as a great offer to the people of this district. When it is recalled that Dr. Gaston's services are sought by the wealthiest persons of this district realization is secured of the gift he is making to this section.
