Very Enthusiastic Meeting
OF Rotary Club Yesterday

No one within hearing distance
of the st. Paul Parish Hall yes
terday, at midday, could have
failed to note that the Rotary Club
had been imbued with the
christmas Spirit. or perhaps it
was the super excellent turtle
soup that sent their spirits soar
ing.
There were guests to share the
fun. William L. Bates introduced
Ira c. Haycock, of Miami, Hugh
Williams presented w. r. Flick;
Clarence Thompson had as his
guest r. Adrian O'Sweeney. The
visiting Rotarian this week was
DR.. E. B. Alexander, of Duncan
Oklahoma.
After the introduction the song
contest was announced. Each
table selected one of the number
to represent them, and there was
no discharge in that war. Duly
elected contestants were Jerry j.
Trevor, Rev J. c. Gekeler, Viii
liam w. Demeritt, Norman Lowe
and DR., ]. B, Parramore.
The. winner had to pay a fine
of one dollar and as DR.. PARA
more is sergeant at arms and col
lects the fines, and as about
every one present had suffered
from his efficiency, he was unani-
mously elected to be crowned

claim.
The jollity over this died down,
however. when the announce
ment was made that as everyone
had enjoyed the fun, to the
amount of at least 10 cents, il
was up to them to settle. At this
iuncture President Charles Tay-
Tor called attention to the pitifuI
plight Of a Key West mother, as

in his bid was construed as mean

Plans being followed have been

change in the original layout of

been made. The only additions
are the flower beds.
Working at the beds are is lab
orers from the WPA Beautifica-

ervision of Cecil Catala. The beds
will be surrounded by native rock
and ANIMALS, such as calendula,
marigolds, aurelia and araman-

A bed of narigolds outside the

THE following day-September "a
banner field of feminine stars will
swing into action at Columbia in the
chase for the Corby Cup, placed in
competition several years ago BY a
former president of the women's
golf association.
And on the following day-Septem-
ber l0-the first team of the women's
association will clash with Baltimore
women at Baltimore. It's no spot to
pull punches when the Washington
gals clash with Baltimore, for the
girls from the neighboring city have
had quite bit of success against our
girls. and they don't want to win
much. The local team will include
Helen Dettweiler, Betty Meckley
Marion Brown and Mrs. Virginia
Stokes. In a way it's funny thing
that the Washington women have had
little success in team matches against
Baltimore. And yet the MARYLAND
State championship has been monopo.
lized by Washington women for so
many years that the Baltimore gals
are thinking Of giving the big mug to
Washington permanently. Just to
keep their mashie shots in tune. the
Washington girls will travel down to
Richmond for a team match with the
women from the Virginia State Capi-
tai on September l3 and IA. So any
one with half an eye can see that the
girls are going to make up for some
OF their inactivity in a big way in 4
short time.
