That day the Chair Warmers Club was born
For months. each day, Walt and Max tapped
out messages to each other joking about the
weather and even their own physical dis
abilities exchanging hardly a word of sorrow
or depression. There were other shut-ins like
them on the air at the time, each of them a
ham," each with his own short-wave outfit.
Gradually they wormed into the daily meeting
of Colpus and Colvin, until Colpus got the idea
of organizing.
Just before the club was to have its charter
meeting, ColpuS failed to get a response to his
call Colvin had died. That delayed the first
meeting somewhat, but a few weeks later It
was held and the club organized.
Colpus stin laughs when he recalls the first
election Of officers
I'VE had an awful time that morning" he
says, when we discovered after counting noses
or call letters-that we had Just enough
members to I'LL all the Offices. 1t was easy
then Each one decided what office he wanted
to hold and the election was all over"
Today there are 10 members all full dedged
radio "hams," each with his own call letters.
Allied with them are 16 other disabled enthu-
siasts who are not qualified to become members
until they have mastered the Morse code and
gained their amateur licenses and call letters.
Meantime they listen in to the seniors" as
members of the Junior" Chair Warmers Club
There are no women among the seniors but
two have joined the juniors and hope soon to
qualify for membership in the major organi-
zation. They are Margaret Macauley of
Detroit and Kate Becker Of Chicago The
men are rather skeptical about women in their
club. They've had some sore experiences
I'VE had quite few women in our junior
club at one time" Colpus recalls "and some
even in the club itself. But we kicked them

The members also had chance to meet
Walter Colpus, jr., of Pontiac, Mich who had
been running their organization. Walt is or
ganizer, secretary and manager, while James
c. Lisk of Lima. Ohio, is president But Colpus
keeps up the communication among the
members.
Eight years ago Colpus had a reputation as
an outdoor man. He was considered an excel
lent marskman and spent his Winters hunting
and trapping. Gradually paralysis set in and
one day he found himself total shut-in
Almost over night Colpus was removed from
the fresh air and sunshine to a bed and, what
was TO him, stuffy room

something to occupy the long hours during the
day and night when he couldn't Sleep One

PREMIER SPEAKS
 T0LAb0R PARTY
Macdonald Cheered at Confer
 enCe in Wales Today

Llandudno, Wales, Oct. z P- Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald today took the stage at the labor party's national conference. He was cheered enthusiastically and it was evident that he had the close sym pathy of the delegates.
 Overnight reaction to Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson's state ment of yesterday that King George would announce bill to amend the trades disputes act in his speech at the opening of parliament has been most favorable in laborite and so- cialist circles.
 This act, which greatly affects the trade unionists, became a law after the collapse of the general strike and is widely disliked in the trade union camps. It is felt in some la bor circles that this is the one issue socialist movement to support the Macdonald government should the coming general election be forced upon this point.
 Some observers think the propos- ed bill an astute move on the pre- mier's part to unite solidly the la bor movement in preparation for a possible election.
