Ladies Night

Ladies Night
UTICA-One of the finest
and most enjoyable meetings
held in the history of the Utica
Rotary club took place Tuesday
evening when more than IS
members, with their wives and
other guests assembled at Trim
ity Lutheran Parish Hall for
Ladies Night" A chicken din
ner, served country style, open
ed the program. Following the
feast, President Clarence Church
welcomed those present and DR..
d. B. Wiley led in 20 minutes of
community singing. The pro-
gram was then turned over to
DR.. L. r. Hirth, program leader
of the year.
In charge of George Havel,
son of Rotarian and Mrs. Havel,
a special musical program was
delightfully."- rendered by Mr.. Ha-
vel, Mrs. Eleanor Stutzman, pi-
anist, and Miss Jodick, the lat
ter two of Detroit. Mr.. Havel
sang several solo numbers in
fine voice, two being request
numbers, and, two duets with
Miss Jodick, who is a soloist at
Metropolitan church, Detroit,
and possesses a remarkable So
prano voice. Mrs. Stutzman,
pianist at the Michigan School
Of Music, skillfully played two
solo numbers.
A rare treat came when DR..
Hirth introduced as speaker of
the evening, Rev. Robert Rich
ards, of East Detroit, who prov
ed to be as DR.. Hirth said, an I'M
usual speaker. After laughable
introduction, Rev. Rich:<ds an
nounced as his subject America,
the Gem of the Ocean. A Welsh
man by birth, he brought home
to the American born how little
they appreciated the privileges
they enjoy, in this greatest of all
lands. There is something in
America, he stated, which cam
not be found in any other coun-
try under the sun, a something
which cannot be defined no
more than can electricity.
Many amusing stories of Rev.
Bentley's arrival in America as
an emigrant boy were related.
AS an officer in the first World
war, fighting for his country in
France.
He told Of the many priva-
tons of the European countries,
saying that even today his IA
Their and the family were eating
leaves to sustain life, with many
more hungry people in the
world than those who have
enough.
Rev. Bentley closed his talk
with an impressive tribute to the
United States ending with the
oath of allegiance to the flag.
1t was an inspirire address
and evry worthwhile evening.
