LION FATHERS
GUEST TOTS
Cartoon Program Enlivens
Annual Dinner Program;
Hear Little League Report
PLAN CHARTER NIGHT

The Smyrna Lions Club held
the annual father-children dinner
meeting Monday night at The
Wayside Inn. The young guests
were welcomed by Wells Camp
bell, president. Following a turkey
dinner the boys and girls, as we'll
as the Lions themselves, enjoyed
three reels of cartoon films. Group
singing was led by F. S. Bancroft.
John H. Fearon was chairman of
the program, and Norman C.
Wilder was projeetionist. The at
tendance of children was lessened
by the fact that many daughters
of Lions were taking part in the
Scouts Own program which was
being held at the same hour at
Lake Como beach, having been
postponed from Sunday night be-
cause of the storm. A report was
given by James Ford, one of the
managers OF the Lions Club team
in the Little League, which had
won the first game on Saturday.
William Minner is also a manager
of the Lions team and member
of the club Mr.. Campbell told of
the large amount of work done
by the Lions at the Youth Center
on Sunday, in the building on
Frazier Street and in cleaning up
the yard and surrounding area.
An invitation was received from
the Rev. w. H. Revelle, Jr., pas
tor of Asbury Methodist Church,
for the Lions and their families
to attend a service there on Sun
day, June 15. The next Lions Club
will be held on Monday,
June 9. The final formal meeting
of the year will be the charter
night celebration on Monday, June
% at the Dover Hotel for which
arrangements are being made by

W. c, HANDY

WHEREVER AMEICAN popular music is played
people will mourn the loss of William c. Handy, who
last week was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, the
Bronx, following services in the Abyssinian Baptist
Church. w. C. Handy was known and will be known
everywhere as the father Of the blues
MUSIC COMMENTATORS and writers agree that
Mr.. Handy made the most significant single contribu-
ton to American music by ~reshaping and putting down
this poignant art form on paper. Many claim that it is
perhaps among the very few forms of true American
culture.
FAME CAME TO w. c.. Handy with the St. Louis
Blues, which he wrote in 1914, and which has been
translated into japanese. It is played the world over.
Others of his compositions are memphis Blues" his
f~avorite, "Beale Street Blues "Ole Miss" and what
many musicians consider his best, the yellow Dog
Blues.
BORN IN FLORENCE, Alabama, the son of a Me
thodist preacher, the story goes that when Handy was a.
boy he bought a guitar, which his father promptly
ordered him to exchange for a dictionary because must
cal instruments were thought to be "devilish." He pre-
pared for a teaching career, and for a time did teach in
a college. But music pervaded his entire personality and
he gave up teaching and started to write-the songs Of
the South.
MANY HONORS CAME to him during his life
time. He was guest conductor of the New York Worlds
Fair Orchestra, and the Cleveland Symphony Orches-
ira in his own compositions. On his 65th birthday, a
park in Memphis was named for him. The original
manuscript of st. Louis Blues is in the collection Of the
Music Division of the Library of Congress.
AMERICA NEEDED a man who could capture the
deep emotions growing out of the living experiences of
