EAST MADISON YIN. "A.

Saturday night. October 3rd
marked one of the most unique
affairs of the season when Miss
Marjorie Polk was crowned queen
of the Colman Service Mems club
The queenly throne was bedecked
In colorful flowers of yellow. or
child, pink and white flowers of
various species a queenly
throne with two huge flower jars
of beautiful flowers. Mrs. Jessie
Shields, chairman of the Corona
ton committee introduced the

mittee and the amount of money
raised by each contestant. after
which the Queen and her attend
ants were led into the recreational
room by the Co-Chairman Miss
Marjorie McFarlin to the music of
the Star Spangle Banner with ev-
cry soldier and civilian standing
at attention. The Queen Marjorie
Polk was very beautifully attired
in colonial white taffeta dress
with ring bow color top with gold
accessory carrying huge bouquet
OF white dahlias and ferns tied
with huge white bow. Miss Alice
Lewis. her attendant, wore a
black dress trifmed in rinestones,
carrying yellow dahlias tied with
a huge orange bow. Miss Marjorie
McFa lin wore a beautiful red jer-
sey dress with gold accessory.
Miss Mamie Jones wore blue tat
feta; Miss Ora Belle Jackson wore
blue taffeta and net; Miss Jane
Talbert wore pink taffeta; Miss
Jessie Shields was charming in
black and red. Miss McFarlin pre-
sented the queen and her attend
ant after which each spoke. The
queen was crowned by Sgt. Lundy
from 1st Avenue Cantonment. Al
ter the browning the queen was
presented gift of a beautiful
Identification bracelet, after which
she and Sgt. Lundy led the grand
march.
The girls presented the Service
Club with a Public Address Sys-
TEN. This was made possible by
the funds raised by the young wo-
men who took part in the contest.
They were able to pay cash for the
Public Address System. The girls
wish to express their appreciation
to all who helped in any way. We
wish to thank Miss Marion Val

to the world he said: There is in
her vitality which nothing has
seriously menaced and a leader
ship made wise by the wisdom of
long experience. AS result of
this war political institutions have
already tumbled and more will
more will fall before it is finish
ed, but the Catholic church is
built on firmer foundation than
any political institution"
Then, alluding to the many po-
litical changes that have taken
place in Europe since her rise, he
said she invariably carried the
lamp by whose light Europe found
its way out of darkness" That is
a striking statement, and true to
facts. Europe and much of the
world is now in darkness, but a
new day will dawn. and when it
does the Church will be on hand
to pick up the fragments of a
shattered civilization and will
mould them anew. 1t is a work
she has been doing for centuries.
1t is a work to which she com
mits herself with renewed vigor
every time the wickedness and
folly of men level to the ground
what the patience and ingenuity of
men have reared.
Where New Delhi in India now
stands, seven other Delhis have
stood in years past. In modern
Rome, from beneath coutless tons
OF dirt and debris men are still
unearthing the beauty and grand |
eur of ancient Rome. So it has al.
ways been one generation destroys
and another rebuilds. Constant |
change marks the history of man |
kind. But amid the change, the |
Church remains the same. God
has tinged with something of His
own changelessness this work of
His hands!
