matte. For a few days ago,
Smith Bowman called Patricia
to tell her that his mother was
expecting her to spend the week
end out at the Bowman country
place, Sunset Hills. However,
the time that Smith selected to
call Patricia was exactly fifteen
minutes to nine and though he
did not know it, Patricia had
been out the night before to a
very late dinner and dance.
Sensing, perhaps, that he had
awakened her, he asked if he
had and Patricia informed him
Sweetly and untruthfully, "of
course not" After few minutes
conversation, the call ended and
Smith said, "Good-by" but
Patricia still a bit confused by
sleep, ended her talk with a
CHEEKY Goodnight" And-She
is still being ribbed by the Bow
man clan for her confusion of
time.

WOULD PLACE BASS
IN The PARK LAKE
Councilman Miller Pro
poses Dredging and
Restocking -

Vernon N. Miller, City Council
man, stated today that he will
propose to the Mayor and Council
and the City Park Board a plan
whereby the City Park lake would
be dredged and then restocked
with bass. At the present time,
the park lake is populated" with
fish of various species, including
gold fish, suckers, carp and cat
fish.
Mr.. Miller believes that with
the removal of the muck and dirt
the parks appearance will pre-
sent a more beautiful appearance.
Last year the Park Board dredged
the lake around the shores. The
plan to open the lake to fisher
men is not practical in the opinion
Of several members of the board,
due to he presence of the swans.
Many say that there is no bot
tom in the lake and that to under
take dredging it would be foolish"
Mr.. Miller said. THAT statement
is absurd and I am positive that
the cost of this project would not
be prohibitiVe. Ny plan is to
place black bass in the lake and
il my suggestion meets with ap-
prevail / believe the Izaak Walton
League will cooperate in restock-
ing the lake"

SPECIAL SERVICES
AT ST. PAUL'S M. B.
Congregation To Observe
125th Anniversary on
Sunday, Nov. %

ST. Paups M. E. Church, North
Potomac street, will observe the
125th anniversary of the church,
and Joash Day, on Sunday, No
vember %. At II o'clock in the
morning there will be a service OF
Pageantry and Sacrifice, written
by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Kemp
Horn, especially for this joint oc-
casion, presented by 25 young
people of the congregation, in full
costume. The ALTAR of Sacri-
fee" will be built in full view of
the congregation and placed in
the Joash Chest, which is hand
bound in hand-wrought iron and
extreme beauty.
1t was about 1800-1805 that the
Methodists secured a stated place
of worship in the loft of small
brick building, where the Hotel
Hamilton now stands, on the cor
ner of Washington and Jonathan
streets. Before that time they
met in various private homes.
In the year 1872 the Methodists
and United Brethren built a
church on the corner of Franklin
and Locust streets (now the site
Of st. Paul's U. B. church,
which they jointly occupied for 13
years. In 1925 the Methodists
built a church on North Jonathan
street, which later became the
site OF the city's police station
and which site is now occupied
by a gasoline station.
A lot was bought for the pres
ent church on North Potomac St,
October %, 1888. On December
Is, of the same year, ground was
broken for the new church; the
cornerstone was laid August z,
1884, when the name of st. PauPs
was given to the church; the
chapel was dedicated April 2,
1885 and the church auditorium
on November %, 1885, but serv-
ices preceded and followed that
day.

HANGOVERS

It's refreshing to learn that
honest people are hangin' round
this neck of the forest. Only
Yesterday a local citizen had
lost pocketbook returned to him
with the contents intact.
Several days ago a housewife
missed her pocketbook, and
within a few hours it, too was
returned by the finder.
When was kid, our gang
spent the summers along the
Antietam Creek. The sport of
sports in those days was "set-
tin, outlines" And at the
break of dawn we tumbIed out
of bed and rushed down to the
creek to gather in our catch.
Eels, suckers and sometimes
bio sun fish rewarded us. But
4 remember one morning when
our lines were as clean as
hounds tooth. One of our gang
had turned thief on US. He got
up before daylight, stripped
the lines and went back home.
Today when pass that fellow
on the street, the first thing
that flashes through my mind
is that little performance of
many years ago. And still
wouldn't trust himI
OF course, all of us do things
of which we are later ashamed.
If Judgment were ever passed
on me I'd probably spend the
rest of my life on the inside
looking at the outside. But
thief is in class by himself.
Some of 'em are so shady that
they hide their own pocket
books from themselves.
Speaking of sports reminds
me of the little story out of
BIair's Valley. (By the way,
who was that guy who became
famous delivering that we'll
known lecture, "Acres of Dia-
nnonds"?) Anyway, these boys
started out early in the morn
ing determined to come back
with a coat-fulI of rabbits. They
travelled over hill and dale,
climbed fences and hunted high
and low for the cotton tail. But
it was no go and they came
home, hungry and weary. AS
they neared the back door of
their home four rabbits jumped
up and the boys got two.
There's a lot of things we could
find right at home if we reaII,
looked for them.
Have you ever noticed the
excitement the word "Free"
causes? An army of us will
spend tank full of gas to get
somewhere to grab something
Tor nothing when we could buy
the same thing here for less
than that! The guy who thinks
ne is getting something gratis
IS really spending more for the
ming he wouldn't buy If he
didn't think he was saving
money. Are you following me?

sylUania and Nelo York. The evidence points
to developing practices l0hich fr the hiring
age limits l0itbin the ages of 20 to 80. With
this contraction of the gears during lohich
good income can be earned, chances for sav-
inqs decline $
Inasmuch as the old age benefits under the
provisions of the Federal Social Security Act
are limited to those sixty-five years of age
or over and state old age assistance subsidized
by the Federal Government usually fixes the
eligible age requirement at sixty-five, it is
plain that there is little hope Of decent liv-
ing for those millions of persons between
forty and forty-five years and sixty years
who are banned from employment by the
constantly growing hiring age limits of en-
ployers.
The basic reason underlying the power of
employers to make this unjust discrimination
in terms of employment is the existence Of
large army Of unemployed working men and
women now conservatively estimated to
number 100000
With this surplus of workers in the So
called labor market" employers have the
power to select employees and to impose age
limitations if they desire to do so.
Saturated with the profit psychology and
with the irrational belief that persons over
forty-fve or even forty years of age are less
productive than those under these ages, this
type of employers cast aside the older work
ers, who are compelled to pick up living as
best they can at odd Jobs and irregular en-
ployment. Because they are not eligible for
either Federal old age annuities or state old
age assistance until they reach sixty-ive
years their condition is tragedy both in
dividually and socially.
An industrial system that stimulates the
creation of an unemployed army composed
of men and women in the prime of their pro-
ductive lives is not credit to American
civilization

Age Discrimination in Employment

The wholly unWarranted and absolutely
unjust victimization which employers under
the profit system impose on those able and
willing to work and capable of producing
large quantities of commodities and render
large amounts Of service but who have
reached the ages of forty to forty-five years
is poignantly brought out in the report of
the Executive Council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to the 1897 convention of
the Federation at Denver, Colorado.
In discussing the provisions in the Social
Security Act designed to provide at least an
approach to social security for the aged, the
Council points out that according to the U. S.
census of 1880 there were 6,50O,000 persons
sixty-ive years of age or over out of a total
population of 123,091000, with the significant
comment that "the ratio of those over sixty
five years of age to the total population" is
rapidly increasing, adding:
"Unless this steadily increasing group Of
persons over sixty-five is economically indie
pendent society will be confronted with a
very serious problem"
The problem is presented by the question,
What are the chances that these persons
sixty-fve years Of age or over will be able
to provide an old age income for themselves?
In considering this important problem, the
Executive Council said
In this connection 1Ue should note the in
