THE CEDARTOWN KIWANIS CLUB, WHICH IS NOW ONE YEAR OLD.
KIWANIS CLUB
ONE YEAR OLD
One year doesn't count much in the
•way of ago, but a great deal in the
way of achievement can be packed
into twelve months of work.
And that is the way the matter
stands with the Cedartown Kiwania
Club, which is now just one year old,
but which hatt proved of untold use
fulness to Cedartown and Polk coun
ty during its first year’s existence.
The Club found work waiting for it
as soon as organised, and the first
thing it put over was the raising of
the fund necessary to complete
new Library,
Then the matter of the county rond i appropriately celebrated,
bonds came up, and the Club got in |
back of the proposition with organic-1
ed effort. The live business men of
Rockmart joined hands with them, 1
,und the enthusiasm spread to every j
militia district in the county. The , .... .
result was an overwhelming victory ' ne I>«nng to dehght the little folks

At Friday’s luncheon an excellent
talk by Dr. C. H. Currens, of the
State Technological School in Atlanta,
was much appreciated. His theme
was law enforcement, with especial
reference lo temperance problems.
It was also decided that the Club
would co-operate in contributing to
Christmas cheer for the poor of the
city.
The Club will have no luncheon to

TO FIGHT BOOZE
And Have an Orderly
Christmas Time
Here.
To celebrate Christmas, the anni
versary of the birth of the Prince of
Peace, by getting drunk and disturb
ing the peace of a community, is a
sad perverion of what should be the
spirit of the season.
The ministers of Cedartown feel
this so strongly that they organized a
movement last week to combat it
that it is hoped will prove effective.
Friday morning the W. C. T. C.hnd
charge of the program, and timely
talks were made at nil our public
schools.
In the afternoon a big parade,
headed by the ministers and W. C. T.
IT., marched from the High School
bulling to the corner of Main street
and West avenue. The boys and girls
carried banners with appropriate in
scriptions.
Rev. Frank Quillian presided, and
excellent talks were made by Dr.
Chas. II. Currens, of the State Tech
nological School in Atlanta, and-
Judge F. A. Irwin, who strongly urg
ed law enforcement. Rev. R. W. Ham
rick entered a vigorous protest n-
gainst the abolition of the County
Police, und urged that the force be
increased instead of cut off.
Sunday afternoon at the Palace
live addresses were mude by Mr. M.
L. Thrower, of Atlanta, and Hon. W.
W. Mundy.
The police force of the city has
been increased for the holidays, and
all are good men; hut it takes the co
operation of all good citizens, to make
the work of officers fully effective. It
was the purpose of these meetings to
arouse public sentiment in favor of
law enforcement, and especially for
those laws that seek to keep out the
murderous blind tiger whiskey that is
the cause of most of the trouble and
crime in this country.

A Safe ant Sane Christmas
The principal holiday seasons carry with them
a certain infectious excitement which is apt to
lead to regrettable excesses. Unfortunately, this
seems to be partcularly so at Christmas time. And
pity is that of all things done that ought not to be
done at this time they can be traced in nearly ev»
<*ry instance to the use of liquor.
We are deeply interested in Cedartown.
Permit us to warn our people against this temp
tation.
But let it be a Safe Christmas.
And a Sane Christmas.
Every Church will welcome you Sunday.
“Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue,
and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge tem
perance.
O little town of Bethlehem, O little town of Ce
dartown! May you be linked together in happy
memory this blessed Christmastide.

the world, can you fairly compare this supreme picturization of a story that
has made millions of men and women in every country on the face of the earth
laugh and sob with unforerital.de emotion. And Douglas Fairbanks at the
