THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA
I can not speak too highly of The Bulletin of the
Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia, which 1
received a few days ago. It is gotten up in very at
tractive fashion, and the contents thereof are cer
tainly most interesting. John M. Harrison.
I read The Bulletin from cover to cover, and think
it is an excellent beginning. Ed A. Sheridan.
As for The Bulletin, I will say that I think that it is
a great medium to keep up interest. I think it is
better not to have too much in it, for a busy man
would not like to hunt through it to find what in
terests him. Short and crisp is my ideal.—R. E.
Ammons.
I have read The Bulletin and think you made no
mistake in issuing it and in the issue you did not
make a mistake in getting out a paper that is appre
ciated by all who read it. I think it very good and
the reading matter well selected and interesting.
Geo. J. Burrus.
The editors of The Bulletin deserve much praise for
for the neat and attractive form in which it is gotten
up. It will, I am sure, serve a long felt want in the
Diocese of Georgia. It will keep us in touch with one
another, and stimulate all of us to greater efforts. It
can not help but do good.—J. B. McCallum.
Bulletin No. 1 was fine. Keep up the good work.
—Peter Clark.
The Bulletin has been carefully read and I find
every page beaming with interest and feel that it
contains valuable information. The members by its
perusal will acquire the information which they nat
urally have a right to know, since they are financing
this great work. To me it is just fine and I do hope
it will be within the power of the Association to con
tinue its publication.—Mrs. E. A. Sheridan.
A GEORGIAN HONORED.
(From The Southern Underwriter, February 12, 1920)
At the meeting of the National Automobile Under
writers Conference, held in New York last week, a
new auxiliary was organized to be known as the Na
tional Theft Committee.
John M. Harrison, of Atlanta, who has been secre
tary of the Southern Conference and manager of the
Automobile Underwriters’ Detective Bureau, Southern
Division, since they were established, was appointed
secretary of the National Theft Committee. He will
have his headquarters in the Hurt Building, Atlanta.
Mr. Harrison has had long experience in the insur
ance business and has made an enviable record in
his present position as secretary of the Southern Au
tomobile Underwriters’ Detective Bureau at Atlanta.
He will enter upon his duties as secretary of the Na
tional Theft Committee just as soon as a successor is
secured to relieve him of the offices he now occupies.
In choosing Mr. Harrison for the responsible duties
involved in the operation of the National Theft Com
mittee, the parent organization has acted wisely, for
the fine showing he has made in the field covered by
the Southern Bureau has attracted wide attention and
elicited high praise.
THE DEATH OF PAT PIERCE.
(Editorial from The Macon News, February 28, 1920)
To have served the city of Macon in any capacity
for almost a third of a century is an honorable dis
tinction for any man, and when that service has been
the maintenance of law and order it carries with it a
special merit.
There were few citizens of Macon who did not
know “Pat” Pierce, the efficient police officer, who
has just passd away, after giving more than half his
life to the service of the city, and finally dying in line
of duty as truly as if he had fallen upon the battle
field.
He was not only a capable officer, more particularly
in the trying post of regulating street traffic, but he
was a man of strong and delightful personality. The
day’s work was never hard enough to damage the ex
uberance of his spirits nor the claims upon him so
great that he could not find time to serve a friend.
He will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of
friends in every walk of life.
NOTES FROM ATLANTA.
R. R. Otis, prominent realty man of Atlanta, has
been appointed a member of the City Planning Board
and is now acting as temporary secretary. Mr. Otis
is a hard worker in civic affairs, and is well entitled
to this honor.
The Knights of Columbus conferred the three de
grees of the order on a class of fifty candidates at their
hall on East Pine Street on Sunday, March 14, 1920.
Atlanta Council now has a membership of about 500
