GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY

December is Golden Rule Sun
day. Designated as the day for
special offerings for the orphans

Relief, it has still another aspect,
that of the day when the civilized
nations of the world sit at a common
table to practice that rule which
simply translated. is, treat the
other fellow as you want him to
Sreat you"
This next Golden Rule Sunday is
shadowed by the great tragedy in
Armenia, the devastation caused by
the great earthquakes which still
continues. The County Chairmen
therefore hope that everybody will
make their donations this Golden
Rule Sunday greater than ever be-
fore so that the Near East Relief
may be able to care for this
greater burden.

CORONER INVESTIGATES
ACCIDENT

The evidence before the Coroner s
jury, investigating the death OF
Stanley M Yeamans, of North East,
kho was fatally injured in motor
cycle accident, showed that Yeamans
had no license and was riding a
machine belonging to John F. john
son, Jr. The law makes it a mis-
demeanor for the owner of motor
cycle to permit an unlicensed per-
son to use it, subject to fine of
from $40 to $100.
The jurors recommend that the
said John F. Johnson, Jr., be turned
over to the Motor Police and States
Attorney for further action.
Mr.. Johnson was released on
his own recognizance for hearing
later.
