HUNDRED YEAR
CLUB KEEPS
MEMBERS YOUNG
Lively Cutting Up By the Mem
bers Most Any Old Night at
the Club
By GENE COHEN

NEWARK, N. j. Oct 29.-Well sir
it certainly makes a fellow stop and
wonder what this older generation is
coming to, anyhow.
In the good old days we'de wrap
a not brick at grandpa's feet, put
some arnica on his back and senc
him 10 bed. Sometimes we'd put a
chestnut in his pocket to make sure
he didn't get rheumatism when the
first cold spell came.
And if he happened to be partic-
ularly spry for his so years, we'd let
him go down to the corner store for
a wild night at checkers and dom
inoes, One can even remember
when the boys sneaked over little
cider
Well sir, down ere in Jersey
there's sights you wouldn't believe
They've got a club called the 100
Year Club" and you've got to be at
least a grandpa to belong.
And the way they cut up! They
play the ukelele and sing RED Hot
Mamma" and don't go home It'll way
past 10 o'clock. And the other day
they had an annual reunion and two
of 'em up and danced the Charles
ton, mighty near as clipper as a
flapper at a night club.
What's it all about? Well, sir,
this Hundred Year Club is made up
of grandpas who refuse to get old.
They're going to live to be hundred
if they kill themselves doing it. A
youngster of 20 can just get by the
doorkeeper, but you really don't be
long until you're 80 or more,
One night when only 10 of them
had shown up for onestep practice,
somebody figured out that the total
ages represented 857 years.
Young Johnnie Deering, who is a
mere SO and is known as "ukelele
Johnny" shouted out: Gosh, it's
great to be old"
Now, when you figure that there's
100 of them in single neighbrohood
the seriousness of the situation be-
gins to hit you.
Who ever heard of old folks being
happy about being 95? Didn't our
mothers teach US to grow old peace
ful and graceful like?
Suppose all the grandpas all over
decide to stay young and We youngs-
ters keep getting old for our ages all
the time-where will we end up?
Why, it's got to be so bad that a
lot of them can't remember the
words of Sweet Rosie O'Grady"
and Coming Through the Rye" But
turn on "The Granddaddy Blues
One of them is Eddie Pierson, who
has only four more years to go be-
fore he hits the century mark He
chatted with Charles Dickens and
heard Jennie Lind sing. Do you
think he'd be caught carrying a
buckeye in his pocket Not in a
thousand years, He doesn't even
pitch horseshoes-bu boy, how he
can play bridge.
No, things aren't what they psad
to be.
The good old days are gone. They
don't save tobacco tags; some of
them don't even chew tobacco. And
hot bricks on cold nights Not on
your life. They've got electric heat

Voyagers Reach New
York After Long Trip

John Edwin Hoag, Frank S. VIII
ton and their dog "Spy" arrived
safely in New York City last week
after the successful completion of
the first transcontinental motor boat
trip across the American continent,
starting from Astoria, Oregon, May
20. They also claim the record for
fresh water trip by motor boat.
The gentlemen stopped here last
July for several days to replenish
supplies and overhaul their boat.
In making the trip they boated
across or touched Is states and two
Canadian provinces. The voyage
was made at an average speed of s
to 10 miles an hour. The cost,
chiefly for gasoline, was from SO
to 81 day. About 1900 gallons of
gasoline were required for the in
land waterway adventure.

Local Boy Serving
In United States Navy

William Knorr, Jr., who left here
in July. 1923, to enter the U. 5.
navy is home on 80 days leave of
absence. He has been on the U. 5.
battleship, California, flagship,
Commander Joyce. The ship has
made many long cruises out Of It's
port, Los Angeles, into southern
waters including stops at Honolulu,
Samoan Islands, Sidney, Australia,
Aukland, New Zealand. There were
1,4OO men in the crew.
The young sailor found a wide
contrast in the attitude of the peo-
pie of these places toward the Stars
and Stripes, some being friendly,
some almost hostile. The friendliest
people he met were the Australians
in Sidney. They think the United
States and Americans are 0. k.
Knorr enjoyed life in the navy
and kept in good health. He says
there was always plenty of work on
board ship but plenty of freedom
when ashore. He is a nephew of
"Billy" Knorr, we'll known in this
community.

DR.. Wilson of India
Talks to Mems Club

Alexander S. Wilson M. D. of
Kodai Kanal, India, spoke before the
Presbyterian Mems Club Wednesday
evening. He referred to India as a
land of great extremes; untold
wealth on one hand and abject pow
erty on the other; the towering
Himalayas with close by vast
stretches of desert which was prac-
tically pure salt; intense heat and
shivering cold. He told of the Home
Rule movement and why it was
doomed to fail; the ironclad caste
system, an insurmountable barrier
to any form of democracy, besides
being a bolster to a religion of alb
solute fatalism; the splendid oppor-
tunity for medical work and of the
way the Christian churches were
seeking to meet the needs. 1t is
not often man of this type appears
in a town the size of Wolf Point
and those who heard him felt amply
repaid.
