KINDNESS AND COURAGE BEGET FRIENDSHIP
THESE THREE BASIC PRINCIPLES
GUIDE OUR DAILY OPERATIONS
Kindness
The practice of kindness with those we come in contact
witii is our first consideration because it is so easy to be
kind, thoughtful and generous for the welfare of others,
yet it cost so little.
Courage
In these perilous times, we need courage more than ever,
and had it not been for this quality, we could not have
I overcome the many obstacles which confronted us in past
years.
Friendship
We have striven at all times to be of the greatest useful¬
ness, and our friendship is ever alert and responsive to
t. , he needs of those whom we serve.
“Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Tw o things stand alone
Kindness in another’s trouble

compiling the history of the

Mark Gilbert, local playwright
and presented by a cast of
more than fifty persons Sun¬
day evening.
The pageant was directed

The Parent-Teachers Asso¬
ciation of Beach-Cuyler high
school is presenting on April
28 at St. John Baptist church
a recital by Edw-ard B. Law
baritone. Mr. Law will be ac¬
companied by Miss Jane Park¬
er.
Mr. Law received part of his
musical -education and vocaal
training in Boston, Mass., arid
his instructors then predicted
a very brilliant musical future
for this golden toned vocalist.
This popular baritone sang
with the Georgia State college
quartet which gained fame m
travels throughout the East
and all over the Southland.
While in the East, Mr. Law
rendered as a baritone soloist
many concerts in Philadel¬
phia. Boston and New York.
During the presidential Coolidge
terms of Presidents
and Hoover, Mr. Law had the
honor of entertaining both of
these presidents on their visits
to the South. He also appear-
•ed before the former governor
of New' York state, Alfred E.

in screen entertainment, has

elude Robert Benchley, Betty
Field, Robert Cummings, Edw.
Robinson, Charles Boyer and
Barbara Stories Stanwyck.

Based on stories by Oscar
Wiide, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis
St. Joseph -‘Flesh and Fantasy”

tribution to movie literature.
and fancy are mingled in
fascinating" manner as separ¬
ate trains of human events ov¬
erlap through circumstance and
logical coincidence.
Strangely interwoven are the
experiences of a homely woman
who becomes glamorous and
finds love; the world-be mur¬
derer who meets his own doom
because of a clairvoyant; and
the high-wire artist of a cir¬
cus who skirts disaster after
an extraordinary dream.
Startling suspense is claimed
to have been achieved by the
unique plot construction and
the wude variety of intriguing
sequences. .Expert portrayals, "co-
are credited to the film’s
stars among whom are such well
knowns as Edgar Barrier, Thom¬
as Mitchell, C. Aubrey Smith,
Anna Lee, Dame May Whitty
and Charles Winninger.

REPUBLICAN STANDBYS
PUT PARTY ON SPOT
(Continued from Rage u
support of the FEPC appropri¬
ation and the anti-poll tax
bill are “must” if there is any
expectation of carrying the

With this ultimatum to then-
party, Dr. Scott and Judge
Hastie have put the Republi¬
cans in a position where they
are faced with the decision of
supporting these measures ______ tv

their pasasge -or of weakening
the vote-pulling effectiveness
oi their main “standbys” by
publicly repudiating them in
not adhering to their advice.
Senator White <R. of Maine:
Repub ican floor leader ha* in
dicated might the minority members
support a cloture vote
on poll tax debate and passage
of the anti-poll tax bill. A
steering committee meeting
has been held on these ques¬
tions.
But Senator Bridges <R. of
N. H.» and Bushfield (R. of
S. D.; have already broken
declared from Republican ranks and
they will not support
cloture, calling it a’ dangerous
practice.” Senator Bridges
said he did not consider the
poll tax legislation of “trans-
cendant national importance.”
In the meantime, Senator
Wagner <D. of N. Y.) has ad¬
vised the National Committee
to Abolish Poll Tax that it may
be assured ol his determina¬
tion to do everything possible
toward passage of the bil this
session.

musical education at Tallade-

dec ared. “We will call for
cloture as many times as may
be necessary until a vote on
the merits is obtained.”
The FEPC is just as hot an
issue in the House, where a fa-
vorable report of the Appro¬
