HnDaiian Islands Locale For Hume's
TWenty Fifth Anniversary At Club

The cocktail table on the porch
had large arrangement featuring
pineapples. Cocktail napkins and
souvenir matches among the fav-
ors given, were presented to the
Humes by the Matson Steamship
Line.
First greetings well over, the
guests were invited to the large,
square buffet table from which
they served themselves to de-
licious menu. Centering this table
was an orchid tree. A natural tree,
used for the foundation, was flock
ed in white and turquoise and scin-
tillated with its coating of spark
ling white mica. Adjoining this
were 10 wanda orchids that were
presented to the ladies.
Tanning out from this table
were seven long tables of 10 covers
each. These were centered with
miniature trees Sims fashioned of
exotic foliage, in which were seen
tiny monkeys and for brilliance,
red and white carnations were us
ed. Small us. and Hawaiian flags
were the final note in the tables
decor.
Appetites sated, there was dane
ing to LeBeau's Band, following
lingering visiting at the tables. As
the dancers moved over the floor,
floating leis, which had been hung
around the neck of each guest as
mementoes of this most pictures
que and unusual anniversary cele-
bration, made another colorful
note. The leis worn by Mr.. and
Mrs. Hume, Gloria and David,
handsome adornment of wood fl
bre, were loaned to them for the
occasion by the steamship line.
In retrospect now that they have
had a few days to recover, the
Hu1nes say they are still baffled
by the beauty of it all and the mir
acle of having been kept complete
ly in the dark about the whole af-
fair, for two more surprised peo-
pie, you'll never find. And if we
never make it to the islands, we've
been given a most realistic idea OF
what visit there could be like,
they concluded.

The disappointment at miscar-
riage of embryo plans for sailing
off to Hawaii for a season, come
winter, was somewhat assuaged for
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur II. Hume
North Main Street, by the thought
fulness of their children, Gloria,
now of New York City, and David
in school at Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity, Delaware.
Realizing last summer the i'm
possibility of such an adventure,
the two got their heads together
and decided as a surprise courtesy
for the twenty-fifth anniversary of
their parents marriage, they'd
bring Hawaii over here, as nearly
as possible.
Aided by Mrs. Robert Creath,
Mrs. r. N. Andrew and Miss Vir-
ginia Freid, they set in motion the
machinery for arranging for the
party. First came the invitations
for the dinner which was set for
Friday, October IL, at the London
Country Club. These were inscrib-
ed in large blank menu cards with
covers in handsome Hawaiian mo-
tiff, secured from the Matson
Steamship lines which operates be-
tween the coast and the islands. >
After many weeks of successful
plotting to keep the secret, when
the day came, the problem of get
ting the celebrants to the appoint
ed spot without letting the cat out
of the bag" The Robert Creaths
and the r. N. Ardreys volunteered
for that task. Purportedly enroute
to Columbus, the party turned off
at the Spring Valley Pike and on
some ruse "the kidnappers' finally
lured the Humes from the car up
on arrival at the London Country
Club.
Once they got a peek inside, the
Jig was up" There was Mrs
Hume's mother, Mrs. E. A. Ellies
of Washington c. H. Then the par
ty took on slightly, This Is Your
Life" aspect. One by one the inn
mediate families of the honor
guests stepped up to the line, Mrs
Ellies, E. A. Ellies, of Chicago, a
brother of Mrs. Hume, David FL
lies of Columbus, another brother
and his wife of Columbus; then
the Hume family, Miss Stella
Hume, Mrs. Ray Warner, Mrs
Raymond Mabe, sisters and James
Hume brother and Mrs. Hume
What composure they had manag-
ed to muster up to this point, was
completely shattered when up STEP

the seventy assembled guests.
1t was hard to realize, once they
were oriented inside, that they
weren't actually on the islands.
The place had been transformed in
to veritable fairyland, said the
enthusiastic jewellers. Banking the
porch and lounge were huge palm
trees festooned with quantities of
Spanish moss; sea fans, monkeys
and cocoanuts, in the trees, furth-
cred the sensation of being in the
tropics. Over the mantle was a
long arrangement of torch and GIN
ger blossoms mixed with anthur-
ium, native flowers, mingled with
colorful foliage from tropical
plants, much of which was flown
in from the islands and simulated
by Sims" to give the desired eff

Are Labor Union Crooks Matched By
Business And Industry Sharpers?
By ROBERT G. sPIvAcK

tn Railway Employees. His talk
was covered in the press; he can
not complain on that score. In my
judgement, though, the least
newsworthy features Of his re-
marks got the most attention.
Schnitzler gave these examples
Of inadequate press treatment Of
corruption Of abuse Of authority by
big businessmen:
A hearing before the SEC in
volWng the financial manipula-
tons of the president Of the Bel
lanca Corp, aircraft manufac-
turers. ....
A report by the American
Bankers Assn. OF a 40 per cent
increase in the number Of ma
jor bank entertainments.
A disclosure by the head Of the
Fidelity and Deposit Co, the ma
tons largest insurer Of business
risks who said that other bust
ness embezzlements had scared
nearly 400 per cent since 1914.
The Bellanca story was by far
the most spectacular. I got an
inkling of it while on vacation and
1t sounded juicy. According to
Schintzler, the President of Bel
lanca, one Sydney Albert, made
interest-free loans Of stock valued
at S2,5OO,OOO to friends. Some
argument apparently revolves a
round the question of whose stock
IL was.
HE asked no security for these
stock loans. He set no date for the
repayment of loans. His friends
were paid dividends on the stock
while they held it," Schnitzler
said.
He was unable to recall details
of transactions When he was
asked this gentleman replied
with such answers as, I don't
know, I don't recall and the
details didn't concern me-" He
said that he didn't know whether
one loan for $1,OOO,OOO was for
one year or 10 years"
This story, Schnitzler noted,
was run on the last page of the
Wall Street Journal on Aug. %
and only given a good play by the
Akron Beacon Journal, Albert's
home town. Otherwise it was bur-
led or ignored entirely.
In the other examples, Schnit-
zler noted that over $500, 900, 900
was stolen from business firms
last year according to the in
surance company reports.
