PERFECTION GARMENT COM
PANY HOLDS ANNUAL BANQUET

The Perfection Garment Company
held their Annual Banquet last
Thursday night, in the Rouss Hall, in
Charles Town. Considerably over a
hundred employees of the company
and invited guests sat down to
sumptious supper prepared by the
ladies of the Auxiliary of the Ameri-
can Legion, which was fully up to the
standard set by the reputation of
these ladies for serving delightful re-
pasts.
Mr. j. R. Polling, the able President
of the Company, was POSTMASTER,
and in the opening address gave a
brief outline of the history of the
company's branch in Charles Town,
where sixty young ladies are now em-
ployed, with a pay roll of about thir-
ty thousand dollars for the year of
1924. The Company bought out the
Maxell Wrapper Factory in Ransom
in May, 1919, and have been gradual
~ increasing their force and output
since that time, with Mr.. Charles
Maxell as the efficient Superintendent
and Manager of the Ransom Branch.
DR.. G. G.. Sydnor made an address
in his usual pleasing style, giving

fifteen or twenty minutes of real emit
ertainment.
+ Hon. A. C. Nadenbousch. of Mar
tinsburg, legal advisor of the Com
pany, was the principal speaker of
the evening. Mr.. Nadenbousch spoke
in plain terms of the mutual relations
of employer and employee. II is the
employers duty, he said, to pay a liv-
ing wage, to provide working quar-
ters that are sanitary and healthful,
and to provide standard machinery
i kept in good repair, so that the aver
age worker shall not have to over
strain himself in an effort to make
the average and living wage. The
workers, on the other hand, owe it to
/ their employers to operate their ma
chimes as continuously and as effic-
/ iently as possible; an operator who
does not work machine costing hun
dreds of dollars to the greatest
amount of finished product there
from, or through carelessness or neg
/ lect Injuries machine, is injuring
seriously his employer, he said.
/ From his personal observation of
the Martinsburg branch of the fac
tory, working conditions were salts
facory, Mr.. Nadenbousch said. and as
( to the living wage he said the per-
sonal appearance of those present
spoke for itself.
The program was interpreted with
pleasing musical selections by en-
ployees of the Company and others.
Miss Nettie James was given a
handsome present by the manage
ment, being the oldest employee in
point of service, though young in age,
of the Charles Town Branch.
| Miss Lou Kisner was given a token
for being the youngest employee in
point of service.
Mr.. A. H. Maxell, the Dean of the
4 Charles Town Branch, was awarded a
liberal supply of tobacco.
All present voted in favor of a
union picnic on the banks of the
Shenandoah of the Martinsburg and
Charles Town employees, including
the Shenandoah Junction employees,
some time during the summer months
at which Mr.. Polling stated that the
principal attraction is expected to be
swimming race between Mr. Roach.
of Martinsburg, and Miss Williamson,
of Charles Town.

EASTER

Easter--Che story of the Resurrec-
tion-herein we find what mankind
has needed from the very beginning
OF civilization and culture.
LIE is a rather futile experience
unless we can find a reason to hone
and believe in the possibility of a
finer state somewhere in the hereaf-
ter. And Easter, standing as it does
for the Resurrection to a new and
finer existence, is one of the greatest
contributions of Christianity to the
human race.
Coming in the Spring when all ma
ture takes on new life, Easter stands
for that hope without which life loses
much of it's meaning.
Few of us think of Easter in this
way. 1t is too often regarded as a
mere opportunity to display the sea.
sons latest finery. But to those who
will give it serious thought, it will
appear as one Of the great DAYS OF
the year.
All the churches of Charles Town
will conduct Easter services next
Sunday. Attend one of these even
if you do not go to Church regularly
And do not attend merely to show
your friend and neighbor in the next
pew just what you are able to afford
in the way of new hat or a new
spring suit. Go for the purpose of
giving an hours concentrated and
serious thought to life's great chal-
lenge.
Such an attitude viii bring peace

Y.
They said that during a recent cold
spellithey came upon congregation in
tho brush consisting of covey of
quail huddlcd around a cotton-tail
rabbit
A sudden cold spell had frozen the
melting snow, effectively sealing up
the feed of the quail. a heavy snowfall
had followed, and the birds were in
bad shape all over the state. 1t hit
the rabbits also, and the chances are
that the covey of quail and the bunny
got together for mutual warmth in
one Of those strange combinations not
unknown in the woods in the time of
danger or hardship.
/ do not remember of any Winter
during which the suffering of the
quail has been so widespread as It has
this year. Hardly a State in the coun-
try, from a fancy orators say. the
rock ribbed coast Of Maine to the
sunny shores Of California" that has
not seen its quail periled by heavy
SHOWS and frozen sleet.
The sportsmen and the farmers have
worked together admirably TO save
the birds. Mail carriers on the rural
routes, dealers in feed and grain,
sportsmen's clubs, Boy Scouts, farm
ers, civic clubs and others have
responded to the appeal broad
cast by game and fish commissions in
a number of States and the result is
that in many localities the quail were
saved from serious depletion.

LOCAL CLUB RULES
ON DROPPING BALL

Clearing up a rule, or rather an in
fraction of the u. S. G. A. rule, which
has been broken unWittingly for
many years, the golf committee of
the Washington Golf and Country
Club has made an arbitrary ruling
with respect to where a ball may be
dropped when 1t Is played into bitches
paralleling the fairways on the third,
fourteenth and fifteenth holes Of the
clubs course.
The rule of the United States Golf
Association regarding placing OF a
bail played into a water hazard says
the ball must be dropped imm lately
back of the spot where the ball cross
ed the margin Of the hazard, keeping
the hazard between the player and
the hole. II works out all right on
holes where water hazard crosses
the fairway at right angles, but
where a water hazard parallels the
fairway during practically its entire
length, ii isn't so easy, and in many
cases 1t would be decidedly unfair to
ask a player to carry his ball to the
spot where il crosses the margin OF
the hazard. Frequently ball crosses
the margin only a few yards from the
tee, continues in the air down the
hazard. paralleling its course and
drops in the water IT'S yards from the
tee. Strict Interpretation of the rule
would make the player go back to the
spot where his ball originally cross
ed the margin of the hazard. The COM
mittee deemed It unfair to ask a play
er to do this and drew up the follow
ing rule:
A ball played into a water hazard
on the third. fourteenth and fifteenth
holes may be lifted and dropped opposite
the spot where the ball is found, keeping
the hazard between the player and
the hole. The usual penalty of loss
of stroke is incurred in lifting the
ball.
This action, it is believed, will
clarity a situation which has given
rise to many arguments, and one on
which the committee has many times
been asked to rule. The ball also
may be dropped not more than two
club lengths away from the hazard,
and the player may not go at direct
right angles to better his shot to the
hole.

Clubs and civic organizations

est in foot ball among the students,
Little has invented game corre-
spending in some respects to tag foot
ball, which will be introduced as An

way off, but one game OF the 1925
season offers right now thrill to
the writer. That is the Wisconsin,
