L. C. Beall, Sr., who is attending
the Divinity School of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church in
Philadelphia, was ordained May
9th. He was the only second
year man Of the class.
In the annual election he was

the school that a Westerner holds
that honor.
He recently won the st. Peter
church prize of $1,000 for the best
reading of the Bible and Prayer
Book The award was determined
with special reference to rever-
enee. simplicity, naturalneSs and
the proper use of the voice.
He will spend the summer near
Philadelphia taking over, the first
of July, the dictatorship of a
boys camp on the Deleware
river.
The work of this young man is
remarkable in that before his at
tendance at the divinity school
his work was so outstanding that
he was made the official local
preacher of the Hughes Memorial
Methodist church at Edmonds,
an unusual distinction for one 50

Reuel has spent so much time
on the Island, in the home of his

us all to a share Of pride in his
accomplishments.

every person on the Island at the
Big Bridge Party at Judd Creek
Bridge.
The big event is being SPONSOR
ed by the Burton Improvement

support of all communities has
been greatly appreciated.

paper. Cut this out and bring it
with you for reference, and plan
TO do something during the day.
Age or weight makes no differ
ence. Even the fat man and the
dog will have his day on Satur-
day. The flour and rhubarb eat
ing contests will prove popular
for the boys. 1t is to be one big
day for the boys and girls.
Here are few suggestions for
the boy and dog parade, which
will start from Burton at noon,
and will make up one unit OF the
Queens professional to the
bridge: Boy and dog in overalls;
dog hitched to wagon; boy and
dog in dresses; dog and puppies
in doll buggy. Now be original,
boys, do something real clever,
get your mothers and big sisters
busy, and win one of the prizes to
be given for the most unique out
fit. We have heard of one entry
already that will attract the at
tention OF everyone there. All
dogs must be on leash.
Be sure to decorate your car
and get in the parade, which will
start from Burton at noon. The
ceremonies at the bridge will not
take place until all cars are park
ed and everyone in place to enjoy
the coronation. Therefore do not
stay out OF the parade for fear OF
missing any part of the ceremony.
Don't forget to look for fun
details in the program on page .
of this issue of the News-Record.
And be sure to cut it out as we
suggested before. Don't miss the
fortune teller, the minstrel show,
ball games, dance onthe bridge,
all kinds Of eats, and be sure to
ask the weather man for lots OF
sunshine. Be there and lets make
this a Gala Day for the Island.

A series Of quakes ending ct 3

by slocks more severe than those Of
the last week but that they doubtless
would come at longer intervals than
those already felt. Twenty-Five shocks

American shipbuilders 1t the 1927
Geneva naval limitations conference
testified today before . senate COM
mittee that no member Of the Amer
lean delegation had wished to see
the parley end in failure and that
he did not claim he had broken up
the gathering.
do you know Of any one Of our
representatives who worked against
arriving at any agreement?" asked
Chairman 6hortridge.
"Only one," shearer answered. HE
introduced the political clause which
was for another naval building holi-
day" He did not give this persons
name.
For Parity with British
shearer said he himself was for
the American program for parity
with the British navy: that II he had
not been, he would have been with
tho British, who wanted 100000 tons
Of cruisers.
Agreeing with Senator shortrid. ,
that he used his brains and ability
to get out the facts. shearer said he
also used one other thing.
"That was the naval intelligence
data giving the proposed plan Of
Great Britain and Japan: what they
would attempt to do at the conference
and did do" ehearer said.
Then II isn't 4 fact that you
sought TO break up the conference =
|pursued shortridge.
THAT Is ridiculous to anyone who
read Ambassadors Qibson's speech.

over the procedure to be followed.
The witness asked consent to tell

but Shortridge said the committee
would not divert from Its regular
course.
.This is my party" shearer thun-
dered.
"This Is no ones party shortridge
retorted.

PARITY POLICY IS ESSENTIAL
Possibility Of War Has Not Vet
Been 6anished From the
World,' Says Woman

Louisville, KY. Sept. 30.-(F)-Until
an agreement for real naval parity
is reached, Americas cruiser building
program should be continued, said
Paul v. McNutt. national commander
Of the American Legion. in his an
nual report made public at the op-
ening session of the organization
national convention here today.
Asserting the Legion stands for
movements to make permanent peace
more certain, Commander McNutt
added that until such methods are
found and accepted by all nations
this nation must provide q complete
defense in any contingency"
Under present conditions" he con-
tinued. ''thc policy Of parity with 9TH
er powers is essential to complete de-
fense. Such parity must be real par
ity rather than apparent parity. II
1t is possible to achieve such parity by
agreement rather than by competitive
armament, the policy Of the American
Legion Is to support such move. Tn
til such an agreement Is reached the
cruiser building program should be
continued"
Must BE Nonpartisan
The American Legion, the com.
mander said in another part OF his
report. must confine itself to those
matters which affect veterans Of the
World war and their dependents and
to broad nonpartisan questions Of
national policy" He said the Legion
had been asked to further many
causes which. although worthy. did
rot concern the veterans IS such. d.
rectly.
No one Is a more sincere believer In
peace than the man who has known,
personally, the horrors Of war, de-
clared General Peyton G. March,
former chief Of staff Of the army, In
an address prepared for delivery at
the opening session. I'VE all rejoice
in the signing Of the Kellogg treaties
rcnouncing war as an instrument Of
national policy. but 1t would be fool
ish to imagine that wars were ahol-
isted by those treaties.
The address said I'VE need. and al
ways will need. all army and navy
Of q suitable strength for national de-
fense."
Women Not blind
Another speaker on today's program
was Mrs. Boyce Ficklen. Jr.. national
president Of the American Legion
auxiliary. Her prepared address said
I'VE have seen our men march away
to the most terrible war In history and
we have q clearer understanding Of
what war means than any other group
Of women II America. We will not
let our love of peace blind as to the
fact that the possibility Of war has
not yet been banished from the
world"
Rear Admiral Hugh Rodmali, ma
tive Kentuckian. also brought to the
convention . plea for parity In naval
strength. His tenet, he said. was
faith, hope and parity" and the
greatest Of these Is parity.
THE United States needs at all
times" his address said, IAN adequate
navy during peace and In time Of
war. equal In strength In every other
particular, and on . parity with that
Of any other nation on earth.
The admiral said that one might Is
well expect lame mule to win the
Kentucky derby as country with =
second best navy to win war.
