JACKSONVILLE COUNCIL
HEARS COMMISSIONER
Thomas C. Imeson, Authority
on Aviation, Tells Knights
of Its Possibilities.
Special to The Bulletin.
Jacksonville, Fla.—At its social j
session September 24 Jacksonville
Council listened to a graphic account
from Thomas C. Imeson, City Com
missioner and President of the Aer
onautical Association of Jacksonville,
of the efforts being made to have
this city designated as> an Air Port.
Mr. Imeson had been invited by
by Committeeman on Entertain
ment George A. Shultz to address
the Council on any subject he should
choose, and at very short notice Mr.
Imeson very agreeaby complied.
The keynote of Mr. Imeson’s re
marks was that aviation is no longer
purely either a miltary or naval af
fair, but something to be taken in
hand by leaders in industrial and li-
naneial affairs the country over;
men “who will take a man’s size
grip of it and put it through.” He
insisted that only by the citizens at
large awakening from their apathy,
their laziness, could this country
hope to fulfilil its proper destiny in
this as in other ways. He ridiculed
bureaucratic Washington’s attitude
toward aviation and warmly approv
ed Col. Mitchell’s patriotic efforts to
let daylight on the subject.
The speaker advanced, cogent rea
sons why Jacksonville is the strong
est strategic point for an Air Port.
It would, on the one hand, be on
the direct line of the South Ameri-
can-Havana Junker route in course
of establishment, he said, and on
the other would be the southern ter
minal of the trans-continental mail
route, which, he said, ultimately
would be. obliged to abandon its
present route over three mountain
ranges in favor of a more secure
and speedier way through Jackson
ville, New Orleans and San Antonio.
Mr. Imeson said that he had very
good authority indeed for saying
there would.-hf 'commercial aviation
j3£tWeen Miami and the North in
two years and probably throughout
this state by winter.
Brother Shultz called for arising
vote of thanks to the speker whom
he characterized as a gentleman
forcefully forward in every move
ment where civic or i>atriotic duty
was demanded. “Charlie"’ Morrison,
manager of the Imperial theatre,
sang “Wonderful Mother of Mine,”
and “Florida” to the piano accom
paniment of Miss Genevieve Mc-
Miirrav, organist of the Immaculate
Conception, in his usual pleasing
sytle.

NEW DEGREE NOT PART
OF HOLY LAND ORDER
Bishop Glass Makes State
ment About Proposed De
partment of E. of C.
Salt Lake City.—In order to cor
rect statements made in regard to
the proposed Fifth Degree of the
Knights of Columbus, the Bt. Rev. ~
Joseph S. Glass, Bishop of Salt Lake
has sent the following letter to
John H. Reddin Supreme Master of
the Fourth Degree, Knights of Co
lumbus:
“Mr. John H. Reddin,
“E. N. C. Building,
“Denver, Colorado.
“My dear Mr. Reddin:
“A number of the Catholic Papers
throughout the country, in discuss
ing the proposed Fifth Degree of
the Knights of Columbus and the ,
movement looking towards bring
ing help ta the Patriarch of Jeru
salem and to the Catholic Cause in
the Holy Land, have made certain
unwarranted assertions. Therefore,
I api sure that you will be glad to
have me state that the Patriarch of
Jerusalem has not been any pro
mises in the premises; he has not
promised to make anybody associ
ated with this movement a member
of the Papal Order of the Holy ,
Sepulchre; and he certainly has had
no thought of identifying the
Knights of the Holy Sepuchre with
any other organization. c
“The Knights of the Holy Sepul
chre are a Papal Order and this
Order has its own Papal Constitu
tion and the Pope, himself, is the
Supreme Master of the Order of
the Holy Sepulchre. 4|
“With every good wish, I am,
“Yours very sincerely,
“JOSEPH S. GLASS 1
