Last Sunday was a beautiful day
and the churches on the Nassau
Charge drew many visitors and
friends as well as members of the
churches to the worship services.
Children's Day exercises were held
in Conley's Chapel in the morning
from 10:30 to II noon and the.
church was crowded. The program
was in charge of the Superinten-
dent, Alden S. Hopkins, ST., and the
teachers of the Sunday School and
consisted of Recitations and songs
by the children and singing by the
Choir. In the evening at eight o.
clock, Zion Church presented an
excellent program directed by Mrs.
Elwood Stevenson and Mrs. Ed
ridge Donovan. A Pageant was Civ
en-. entitled Summer Festival of
Praise" The Churches were beau
tifully decorated. At Whites Chap
ell, the Children's' Day exercises
will be held next Sunday evening
beginning at 500 p m. The pro-
gram will be in charge of Mrs.
Grace Millman and Mrs. Marie
Brittingham. The Daily Vacation
Bible School is in its second week
and the attendance is far beyond

ginning at 8 p. m. This is the first

No Matter What Night 1t Is,

By Harry Macarthur

thing about our increasing unease.
The psychotic chaos overtaking us
was q growing conviction that some
accident of time had placed us "a
hours behind every one else in the
world. We keep getting to night
clubs "a hours late. Rarely, since
the war boom slid to its postwar end,
have we gone into a bistro without
having the proprietor OF same look
over his 27 customers and say: "1t's
a little off tonight-weather's too
warm-but you shoulda been here
last night. The joint was packed"
X y \ II
It goes something like this. You
90 to the Champagne Room Of Joe's
Bar and Grill to see the dinner
show. There's fair crowd on hand.
"You been up to Mixes lately?"
Joe asks. "How's he doing?"
"Okay, I guess" you tell him. HE
was doing all right last Friday night,
at least"
"Yeah?" says Joe. IT was up
there Tuesday night and he didn't
have 20 people in the place. And I
don't wonder, with that floor show.
You shoulda been here Tuesday
night. We were packed. We didn't
have an empty table. The weather's
got us tonight. 1t got 4ittle cooler,
but it stayed too warm for people
to 60 to night clubs"
Later you drop in at the Orchid
Room of Mikes Bar and Grill.
"You been to Joe's lately?" Mike
asks. "How's he doing?"
"Okay, I guess" you tell him. "He
had a fair crowd tonight for the
dinner show"
"Yeah?" says Mike. II was down
there Tuesday night and he didn't
have 20 people in the place. And I
don't wonder, with that food he
serves. You shoulda been here
Tuesday night. We were packed.
We had the ropes up and there was
q line at the door. The weather's
got us tonight. It got a little too
cool for people to 60 to night clubs" !"
Before long we are going to be
struck with the suspicion that busi-
ness wasn't any better last night
Evening star., 1948-12-02

A young comedian arrived In town
the other day for an engagement at
one Of the night clubs and went up
to look the place over.
"How's business?" he asked the
boss.
Don't worry, baby" was the re-
ply. "You can't hurt 1t a bit"
" II II II
It is reassuring, in way, to hear
something like this. It is not that
we wish any night club proprietor
the woes of an empty till, but it is
nice to be saved from session with
a psychiatrist. 1t was beginning to
