Have you ever noticed that men
who are the most successful in their
| own business and who have to work
hard on their own projects, are usu-
ally the ones who have the most civic
spirit and who do the most for their
towns? Men on the brink of failure
are generally not giving much time
to civic enterprises. They say they
haven't time. What they mean IS
that they do not manage their time
properly. Perhaps one reason they
are on the edge of failure is to be
found in the fact that they take so
little interest in community affairs.
Master Bond Weber celebrated his
ninth birthday in a purely Washing
ton manner on Saturday, school neces-
stating the celebration of the event
to be delayed until that day, when one
boy for each of the nine years arrived
at the Weber home to help the young
ster enjoy the day. In spite of the
weather conditions the sunshine in
the afternoon made game of basket
ball possible, which was feature
amusement of the occasion. Upon
entering the house each boy was pre-
scented with tiny bunch of paper
cherries on a thread which they fol-
lowed in tangled mass through diff
ferene rooms and at last were reward
ed by finding a bag of Jack and ball.
Refreshments were served from ia
BILE decorated with cherries and hatch
cts, the centerpiece being large
white cake with the small hosts name
written in red cherries. The little
guests left with their host many eX-
quisite gifts and wishes for many
happy returns of the day.
