The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1961-10-12

The Mississippi State Fair
of 1861 seems to be drawing
record crowds = although we
haven't seen any figures on
attendance yet.
If you haven't been down
to the fair by all means go
before the week is out.
Somehow or other it look
ed larger to us than before
as we hit the high spots Mon
day night and certainly
there was a larger crowd
than is usually present on
opening night.
We enjoyed the beautiful
dahlias on display, a feature
sponsored by the Mems Gar
den Club of Jackson. There
were really some beautiful
specimens exhibited.
The All exhibits were on a
superior quality than former
ly, or so it seemed to us. And
the handicrafts of the mem
bers of the Home Demonstra-
ton Clubs were outstanding.
The rugs and wall plaques of
wood and copper were ex-
quisite.
Another interesting exhibit
and one appearing for the
first time this year, was man
ned by men from the Missis-
sippi State Penitentiary at
Parchman. Handicrafts in
leather, wood and metal exc
cuted by the men were ex-
hibited and sold. Funds
realized go toward rehabili-
tation of the prisoners. This
is a good thing, we believe,
and should boost morale.
Our old friend. Robert Pat
terson, former coach at Du-
rant and later at Holmes
Junior College, was in charge
of the Parchman booth and
sent greetings to all of his
friends in Holmes County.

If a reduction in rates is ap-
proved, it will most likely
appear on the July 18th water

Also at its next meeting, City
Commissioners will conduct two
public hearings; one for con-
ditional use permit that would
allow the First United Presby-
terian Church, located at 16200
Euclid ave-, to construct an
addition to it's existing building.
This area is where some 20
grave markers are being con-
sidered for removal to make
room for an enlarged Sunday
School.
Already, the church has ap-
proval from the state attorney
generals office for the COM
plicated move and a decision
from the court of appeals is
expected shortly.
There was no opposition when
the East Cleveland Zoning
board recommended Tuesday
that the commission grant this
request.
The other public hearing set
concerns reducing a setback on
Ivanhoe rd., from 10 to 5 feet
to allow an expansion program
by the General Electric Vacuum
Cleaner Division, 1884 lvanhoe.

governing body, made the re-
quest today on behalf of the
commissioners.
East Cleveland was one of
several suburbs that protested
substantial increase in rates
charged by Cleveland for SAN
itary sewage treatment and dis
posal facilities.
Of some 20 communities in
volved, East Cleveland, as far
as is known, is the first to take
advantage of the court action
and consider passing the savings
on to the residents.
BY protesting the Cleveland
proposed rates that were deemed
unreasonable" by the court,
savings to suburban residents
are estimated at more than
$50 million.
Carran and Apthorp are ex-
pected to report to the COM
missioners at their meeting,
next Wednesday.
Aside from being set by the
court, the new rates have been
approved by the Cleveland
Board Of Control and the big

Miss Helen S M ith, East

tuberculosis is much more like

possible to detect the disease
in it's early stages, thereby max
ing recovery much faster and
more certain.
She also said that the use OF

"RICH PEOPLE should con-
slider that they are only trats-
tees for ,Ol,at they possess and
should shoW their Uedith to
be more IN doing good tha1,
merely IN haUiug it. They
should not reserve their bea-
erolence for purposes utter
they are dead. for those acho
qice not of their property till
they die shcW that they qCould
not then If they could keep 1T
ony longer"
This creed set down by JOS
eph Hall, an English Bishop
G574-1656) sums up Carl r.
Apthorp, sr., the philanthropist.
His JOY at being able to break
ground for the new East Cleve-
land Y addition was apparent
as he did more than stick the
silver-plated spade in the
ground. Fact of the matter is,
he showed aside the bright new
shiny spade brought especially
for the occasion and started
digging with his own small
shoveD.
IF the 95-year-old senior
citizen had not been stopped
he probably still would be
digging.
1t cannot be denied that Carl
r. Apthorp, ST., is rich man,
garnering his fortune by wise
investments.
AS an expert in this field, he
gave a good tip on how to play
the stock market to a combined
meeting of the various Y man
aging boards when his gift of
$225.000 that made possible the
ground breaking ceremonies was
first announced.
Speaking for himself and his
wife, the Berta Treat Apthorp,
he had this to say;
Mother and ! have felt
that the best investment in
the world is in boys and girls
and we were SO convinced
that this is true that we
invested to a considerable
extent. Indeed We invested i'm
what are now 10 boys and
girls in our family-and they
are well. too.
"But when people think of
their own family, then they
begin to think of others and it
seems to me that the best in
vestment that anyone can make
is in boys And girls. The IMCA
seems to me to be what my
father, said was practical re-
ligion, or in other words applied
religion, because he thought
that true religion was a way
of living.
This gift that Mother and
] are making-and my child
ren-sDeaks for itself. 1t was
an opportunity for us to do
a little good outside of our
own family, for fortunate as
/ have always been, and ]
have always been exceedingly
fortunate. it seems as if there
has been a divinity watching
over me. ! want to share that
fortune with others. That is
the reason Mother and l. and
we had agreed that if | had
gone first then Mother would
have done likewise. are happy
TO give this gift"
This, his own creed, Identifies
Carl R. Apthorp, ST., the busin-
essman.
Because of his latest of many
shrewd investments, he is richer
in spirit; the East Cleveland Y
is richer by an addition of a.
gymnasium, swimming pool and
locker rooms, and we are Just
richer by knowing this fine
gentleman.
