RABBI SPEAKS
TO CIVIC CLUB
Kiwanis Directorate Holds
August Meeting at
Franks Residence

Speaking for a special commit
tee on Support of Churches in
Their Spiritual Aims" DR.. Geo.
Solomon, Savannah rabbi and di-
rector of Osceola camp, told the
Kiwanis club yesterday that such
a committee may well be made
permanent by Kiwanis Interna-
tional ''for upon whether men,
bers of a civic organization sup
port churches in their spiritual
aims depends whether any of their
other work is worth while"
"The trouble is" said the speak
err. ''that too many of us spend
time in worship by ritual rather
than conscientiously trying to fol
low God. There may be a lot of
poor preachers today, but after
all they are giving the laity the
kind of sermons they like to hear
instead of telling them the truth. y
With reference to racial pref
udice, DIR. Solomon said that the
man who has prejudices knows ne
has them and tries to eliminate
the unfair ones is much to be de-
sired ever the man who is IN lg-
norance of his prejudices.
Thos. H. Franks, immediate past
president, was program chairman
and introduced DR.. Solomon as
one of the outstanding civic and
religious leaders of the south. o.
Y. Brownlee introduced and vel
coined visitors, including a num-
her from Florida and other states.
Meeting Wednesday. night at
the home of Mr.. Franks, the clubs
board of directors adopted reso-
buttons on the death of j. w. Coz
of South Carolina, father of A
P. Cox, a Kiwanian; voted to
join other civic groups here IN
urging President Roosevelt to IN
clude Hendersonville in his south

MANY QUALIFIED
FOR POSTAL POSTS
EIigibIes Being Certified for
Railway Mail Service by
Federal Unit.

After an examination which pro-
duced high marks in probably record
breaking proportion, the Civil Service
Commission has begun to certify
eligibles for 1,700 vacancies in the
railway mail service.
Applicants are certified by States
and the District of Columbia aspirants
had the option of qualifying either for
the Maryland or Virginia allotments
In the former, with "a vacancies, the
lowest mark certified was $500. In
Virginia, with 49 places to be filled
the minimum eligible grade was $3.50.
The examination was the first on a
nationwide basis that has been held
for the railway mail service in sew
eral years, and brought 203 900 appli-
cants Nearly three quarters of these
eventually took the test, and 100, ,946
passed, and 43, ,194 failed.
A contributing factor to the high
qualification marks in some instances
E was the veterans preference allowance
five points for non-diSabled, and 10
for service connected disability-but
outside of this, the excellence of the
ratings generally was marked. Harry
B. Mitchell, president of the Civil
Service Commission said today The
highest earned rating-that is, without
any preference allowance-was $3.50.
Veterans who made as much as 60
on the test. and received 10 points for
disability, automatically went to the
top of the registers. Other veterans
could qualify with IS, which with the
points allowance moved them to 70
the regular passing mark These
however, could only be placed on the
register on their comparative stand
ings.
The age limit-waved for veterans
was IS.

YOUTH AID PROGRAM

Consequences of Neglect Are Re-

A Summer program to aid youth

A. Becker, president general of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. who declared that lack of per-
sonal interest in the "downtrodden
and destitute" is causing many to
drift into communism.
I'VE who would serve our country
must realize that youth is the battle
ground sought by the forces of revolu-
tion and frequently found in the fore
ranks of crime. Injustice and lack of
opportunity embitters the very souls
of the young. Neglect and isolation
and grinding poverty are driving
many into the camps Of the enemy.
Those who build for the future must
build youth"
All chapters of the D. A. r.
throughout the country have been
asked to aid in promoting the youth
program during the coming Summer,

The nurse paused, watching warily. |
Deep down in the blue eyes a spark |
was born. Marjorie frightened her
fingers over the pale hand. as much
to give courage to herself as to trans
nit it to her patient.
He said until this morning when
they carried you in here he hadn't
realized what you were to him. That
these few hours had been a revela-
ton. Truly, he was nearly crying
He said no matter how much idle
philandering he'd done in the past,
he knew now that you are the only
woman in the world for him!"
The girl stopped breathlessly, pray
ing her little drama was convincing
The woman was gazing at her steadily,
strangely. Marjorie watched in fas-
cination. And as she watched, Irene
Carter's lids fell over that strange
expression and she turned her head
to the wall.
IT MIGHT have been 10 minutes or
half that many hours :. how long
she sat waiting the girl could not
have told. At last Bob's wife turned
her head. pressed the hand that held
hers. The eyes opened; they were
vividly alive this time. She smiled,
almost radiantly.
The nurse returned the smile.
Then she rose, feeling spent but
strangely nghthearted. She admin
istered a sleeping potion and gently
stroked the white brow until the eyes
closed in easy sleep.
Quickly Marjorie slipped into the
corridor. She must tell Bob. She
would say: 1T was the only way,
dear. We can wait. Later when
Irene is well and able to cope with
| it we can go to her. She needn't ever
know we'd met before this easel" And
Bob would understand.
Cheeks aglow and dark eyes shining
above the starched white of her uni
form, Marjorie paused before the
waiting room door. Her hand was
lifted to push it open. But the hand
fell slowly to her side at the sound Of
the voice within. 1t was a desper-
ate, shaken voice which she had not,
for a moment. identified with Bob'S
usually masterful tones.

how much philandering I've done in
the past. she's the only woman in the
world for me. I know that now, and
you've got to save her, doc, so can

Stifiy, looking suddenly very weary,
the slim, pretty nurse turned away
from the door and moved back up the
corridor. There was no sound save
the slow, crisp whisper of her white
skirts.
