tags are out this early, as 1 have
seen one on a car 1t read:

almost alike in licenses this year.
Had the pleasure of speaking to J
e. Kilian recently. Had not seen him
since his home was burned some
weeks ago. I have known him for
some years as he used to come in at
Mr.. CARROTS when I worked there
And now will tell of a most en-.
loyable experience I had last evening
pelng in the company of youth, per
sonified. Every day meet, see, and
talk to all kinds of people of all ages,
but last night was with a crowd o.
really young men, all in their early
twenties, The Young Mems Club o.
Oxford. I had been invited before TO
be with them but every time it seem
eG that one Of my corn shocking invi-
tations would hit on the same night
They wanted some one to play for
them as they ate and talked. I.
seemed that any one and every one
can eat and talk better with some
Kind of musical racket going on
They knew that I couldn't do anythine
but bang, but said they would be sat
isfied just so it was a noise. I neve
nave seen a crowd of overgrown boy.
enjoy themselves more than the,
cid, and I knew that they would
rot know five minutes afterware
whether were playing "Mamms
Sent Me To The Spring, Trotskots
kinsky's "Minuet In Flat Minor" o
ITO A Wild Pumpkin Vine"
So away banged and away they
started to eat When saw that al
was well, I slipped from my seat a
the piano into my chair at the fable
and no one even noticed the change
they were so engrossed in talk, whicy
included all kinds, forms and fash
ions of abra-cadabra. When the eat
ing had well been attended to, Their
came the thirty minute program.
Fred Webb is president of the club
Charlie Clements is vice presiden,
and Carl Piper is secretary-treasurer
Charlie was campaign manager of tn
program for the evening. Alex Over
ton made short talk on, "The goot
have received from being membe.
of the Young Mems Club of Oxford,
Fl. 1. Smith sat at the foot of tn.
table, but should at least have sa
at the middle or nearer the head. HI
made talk on 1.-THE good a Youne
Mems Club can do in a community
George Edward Daniel discussed tn
basketball team which the club is or
ganizing with its members.
About couple of the members were
absent, but those present were: Free
Webb and Carl Piper, bankers; Greece
whom you folks in Henderson know
Alex Overton, and Herman Curl, drug
gists; Roy Andes, Harnp Currin, an.
H. I. Smith, merchants; r. w Finch 4
Earl Vow and Joe Billie Hunt, grocers 4
Allen Cozart, the movie magnate \
Frank Currin, the tobacconist; Geo
Edward Daniel, the insurance special /
ist; Rev. G. A. Cole, rector of st 4
Stevens Episcopal church; last, bu 4
not least, Charlie Clements, man-abou' 1
town.
The sociability, congeniality, broth /
erhood, fellowship, or whatever yor |
might wish to call the friendliness 4
for the other fellows, was stupendous
~ magnificent. That crowd of youn,
fellows will surely accomplish much ir /
life for themselves, and also greatly 1
benefit others, if the aim of their /
purpose is carried out to any reason i
able extent.
Had such club been organized \
twenty or more years ago I woulc 1
then have been eligible to member /
ship, as far as age is concerned. But
you can't recall twenty years a hi \
quicker than you can twenty minutes
Yours for Young Mems Club in i
every town in North Carolina.
