just as self-conscious, but more
pretentious. The telephone
numbers have five digits in
stead Of one. At Mulberry, the
beautiful Colonial mansion
that was the seat of his deep
est dreams. the talk is no long
er of purple f1nches and cedar
waxwings but of Cadillacs and
the bomb. A man can now
get into the Light Infantry
Club for his wife's ancestors
instead of his own. And Dinah
Blackford, the flower OF her
proud clan. has jumped over
the chasm by marrying Mico
Higgins. a tough tycoon from
the Irish Channel.
Weaving back and forth
from the boy to the man, Mr..
Basso surveys beinusedly the
new, industrialized South. The
climactic scene of the old South
is vivid courtroom sequence,
which brings into full light
the prejudices of the town.
Mr.. Anson's father has aided
an idling Negro in a suit against
white man. The outcome
is based on two major Southern
premises. 1T was an unspoken
agreement that a person of
consequence like Mr.. Henry
Pettibone could do no wrong
in relation to a Negro like
Clifford Small; so it, was un-
derstood that a lady always
told the truth"
The resolution of Anson's
business rests on an even more
crucial gentility. And Anson
uncovers some truths about
himself during his return to
a home he had really never
left.

distinction.

Some Strings Tied
To Proclamation
OF Harmony Week

The Commissioners yesterday
proclaimed the week Of June 9
as Harmony Week." but took
pains to discourage any street
singing demonstrations in con-
nection Herewith.
They recalled, a bit ruefully
that in their Harmony Week
proclamation last year. they in
cluded language construed by
harmony advocates as an open
invitation to wander UP and
down the city streets casting
their harmonies to the skies
This resulted in a number Of
bitter complaints being filed with
the city heads.
The Society for the PreServa-
ton and Encouragement Of Bar
Der Shop Quartet Singing ir
America, holding its 10th annual
convention here in conjunction
with Harmony Week, received
only the good wishes of the
Commissioners this year.

Mrs Buck chose as her topic.
The United Nations on which
she is well versed since she serves

Branch of the Association for the
United Nations. She devoted
large part of her talk to the refu-
tation of the idea that the UN is

be the true facts

Sunday was an ideal day for
those who take a long walk so
as to enjoy the balmy days. The
sunshine was equal to all medical
aid that could be utilized in be-
half of the human body. In the
old days the hikers used to start
out early in the morning and not
get back home until nightfall.

lunches with them they often
would seek a shady nook along
the highway and tone-up the
lunch with a merry chat. An
other point the mixers would visit
Point Breeze north of Blackbird,
and thence visit the old camp
meeting ground below Blackbird.
All of their trips seemed to be
interesting and quite helpful.
Farmers have faired pretty well
despite the dry spell and the early
frost. They have grown and
gathered their crops we'll and de-
serve much credit for their tire
less and sweeping efforts to gar
ner all crops on time and cash in
as much as possible. They are an
industrious and determined set of
American workmen and deserve
all the praise that hinges on their
fine ways of progress. We hope
that everyone of them have had a
gainful year in 1854.
The Cleveland Indians were
knocked cold by the fearless on
slaught of the Giants who had
planned to give them the terrific
dose several months previously
and they did it. It was evident
that the Indians were like school
boys and far outclassed in every
respect. The money-changers felt
their collapse before anyone else
and they gave a howl that re-
sounded clear around the globe.
Next year the Ohio boys say they
will be more cautious, but how?
Those four games with unexpect-
ed results caused millions of dol
lars to change hands, and lot of
people to become sick from COM

Ed Wagner thinks the mills
and the factories are headed this
way because taxes are high in the
big cities and likewise, the labor
problems grow more and more
acute in the big cities. Probably
the peninsula will get a big shoe
factory to give it real boost.
Don't Forget that next Saturday
will be the last registration day,
and that you must be on the
books in order to vote at the elec-
ton on November 2. So lay
everything aside and register for
the big election day on November
2. Every citizen should exercise
the right of franchise on that
day. 1t would be big day on
Saturday as many voters are still
off the books. Make it your first
duty to come to town and get
registered. We hope that nobody
forgets to do their great duty on
Saturday.
