A A i “ THE NEW YORK SCENE e d By PAUL HARR!SON 3 NEW YORK.—The Union club has picked up its " fat leather chair and its copy of the New York . Times, and is moving to a new $3,000,000 home on «Park Avenue. : . % Colonels and Commodores, paunchy masters of _finance, bristly-mustached diplomats—gentlemen all, scions of centuries-old linegs of blue-bloods. They're ,deserting, with a sigh, the gloomy, high-vaulted Ttalian palazzo where for 30 years they have dined, and talked, and lounged before the broad windows fdfi Fifth Avenue and Fifty-first street. And now, for ;fié fifth time in the organization’s 97 years, its mem- Wfl must accustom themselves to new and modern &f“@hfidenl‘s, and a new view. The Union is the oldest social club in America, @8 well as the most socially exqlusive. In the old J9Bys sons so New York's first families were enrolled "on ts long waiting list, which often econtained a «thousand names, as soon as they were born. Lately,‘ though, the waiting list has dwindled, but there hus been no tonal Towering of its membership. On the . yoster are names like J. Pierpont Morgan, Ogden L. - Mills, Clarance H. Mackay, Nicholas Murray But ler, William H. Woodin. Members of old families ke the Cabots, Vanderbilts, Iselins and Biddles are {l!l» ed as a 2 matter of course. The club's secretary, CHarles K. Beekman, owns the Social Register, | Sternly masculine, the Union club has never had i %,hdies' day. In fact, the only women ever admit & to its cloistered halls were the widows of ex presidents, escorted there to view their husband's _portraits. Gambling games are frowned upon, al ‘though members generally find something on which E?fi,«bhc’e bets—such as the number of Negroes who will pass a window during a given time, or the _mumber of kittens that will be born to the base ment cat. ~ Contrary to conjecture, membership is not ex _pensive. Initiation fees are $300; annual dues S2OO, ' Cigars and refreshments are sold at wholesale prices, and there is no tipping of employes. The latter, however, divide a subscribed Christmas fund ;y, usually runs between. $12,000 and $15,000. - Dinners in the club’s private dining rooms are i kely to be expensive. Union club terrapin, famed for more than half a century among -epicures, F‘@atg $3.50 a portion. . Not always has the Union club pursued its pla - eid way. Dissention has disturbed its studied calm. Tradition has it that the Brook club was founded ’fiy two Union members who were expelled for put % a poached egg on the bald dome of a napping - brother. g In 1882 Count Joseph Loubat called Joseph H. C ate a liar during a heated argument. Expelled . forthwith, Count Loubat went to court with an ar ‘ray of bitterly eloquent legal talent that won him m;tatemem. It was a humiliating precedent that - has made expulsion a difficult process ever since. . Across the street at St. Patrick's Cathedral a k| ng of Irish one day were attending a service - for a hero martyred in the Free State fight. Emerg ' ing from the church they saw the British flag, hon ~ oring a famed English visitor, flying from the Union . club. They saw it, and charged. Bricks and stones ~ shattered every downstairs window of the elub. - The mob forced its way into the lower lounges, - there engaged in combat with members. The flag% wasn't pulle. down, either. But ever since then . waggish clubmen have’ heen fond of saying that‘ -the Union was “just a stone’s throw from the ca . thedral.” T . Time never hangs heavily on the hands of Fred W. Jensen. He runs the oldest clock and watch ~shop in town, and also is probably New York's fore- W?ihdgeteer. Give him a handful of cog wheels and a beer keg and he'll make you d clock that E{wv"fllppy Days Ave Here Again” while a puppet _bartender draws a stein of dark. ?«"?’;m:l‘a little shop, across the docks on West _street, always has a knot of people in front of it %fl‘yluto figure out how his various “perpetual mo tion" clocks work. Jensen admits he winds them, but challenges you to find out where. Inside the place are hundreds of big and little timepieces; so ‘many, in fact, that Jensen keeps his hat and um ‘brella in a grandfather's clock. Several museums, ‘among them Henry Fordls, have hinted at taking _ - his priceless collection. Jensen scorns such g, though. Says his shop is better than a mu pum because everything in the place is in actual 0 tion. " ides, the ticking and tocking are the friend . sounds he knows—those and the delighted ex {;fi ons of people who venture in to watch the “wheels go 'round. Jensen is a spry and kindly little ‘gnome who's rather show off his contraptions and "’l.bout their histories than sell a new watch, (He ‘won't sell any of the old ones). His father, who @led in 1920 at the age of 88, started the shop miore than 50 years ago. Now Jensen's son and 21- » bar-old grandson are in the business with him. .if;,;“", iof his special prides is a 200-year-old grand- Nfi er's clock from Copenhagen.

Groups of young ladies and lwomen of the American Legion Auxiliary lwill e on the streets, in the office build lings and stores offering the little red poppy as a remembrance of fhose who !made the supreme sacrifice and for the 'benefit of those who are now disabled, itheir widows and children. It is a cause to which all patriotic citizens should con tribute as liberally as their means will per mit. The peoppy is a symbol of remembrance for the World War dead. Poppies glowing on every coat on Poppy Day will show that we still remember and honor the su preme sacrifice our war dead made for America. A country which remembers deeds such as their’s cannot be indifferent to present calls for patriotic service. As long as the memory of our heroes is kept bright, America can be confident that he roic service will come from its citizens in every hour of need. The women of the American Legion Auxiliary, who will bring us the poppies on Poppy Day, are carrying out a very valuable work for the country. With their memorial flowers they are helping keep alive a memory more precious than wast material riches—the memory of men who were willing to die that America might live in freedom and happiness. With the poppy contributions, they are helping carry on for the disabled veterans and fatherless families. With the poppy they are calling to us all to carry on for Am erica in the spirit of those heroic men the flower commemorates. Every American who is a true American should show his rDesponse by wearing a poppy on Poppy ay. - SHOULD NOT BE DISCOURAGED There is much being written and pub lished in the newspapers and magazines deploring the future of the large nm'nberl of young men and women, who are gradu ating from the various institutions of high er learning, for fear of their failure to se cure employment. It is argued in these articles that conditions are congested in all avocations, especially for those who have fitted themselves for leadership. l It is true, however, that business and professional oceupations, administrative and otherwise are crowded, but it is a fact that the young man or woman, who has completed an education, earned a degree and is in earnest in his or her efforts to succeed will find opportunities that do not come to those who are less fortunate educationally. In this way and time of unusual conditions, the person possessing an education, trained for specific occupa tions, will find openings that otherwise they could not have hoped for. Besides, these young people should re member that conditions in industry, busi ness and professions will not continue at the low ebb as has been experienced dur ing the past three or four years. Though slowly returning, the day is not far dis tant when employment conditions will be 'come normal and those who are capable of leadership will find opportunities in fields suited for their training and education. Such warnings and predictions calcu lated to disturb and discourage the college graduates are -wrong in principle and should not be forecasted in times that are emerging from the most distressing period in the history of our nation. Instead of writing and predicting failure for the cap and gown contingent of our citizenship. let us offer words of encouragement and lend a helping hand to those who show a will and a determination to succeed. SEEING THE BRIGHT SIDE OF CONDITIONS Dun and Bradstreet, Inc., and leaders in finance and industries are seeing the dight for the return of normalcy in business throughout the mnation. The weekly re views of the commercial agencies indicate that the trend for better times is return ing and moving forward in a substantial and safe channel. One of the largest financiers and indus trialists, in the United States, predicts a steady improvement in conditions. He sup ports his views with a number of illustra tions that have occurred recently among the enterprises of the nation in the way of increased business. That man is Presi dent Vauclain, of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. In commenting on the views a:s expressed by this great leader in indus trial pursuits, the Savannah Morning News says: o President Vauclain of the Baldwin Lo comotive Works holds that the United States reached its lowest ebb in recent business conditions on March 1, and that since then, somewhat inperceptibly at first, but increasing in* force, the country has been steadily on the ungrade. Vauclain, who is 77 years old, reviewing the depres sions since that of 1873, holds that this is not an abortive flurry we are now pass ing through, but a permanent and contin uous betterment. Business, says he, always comes up quicker than it goes down. This head of one of the greatest industries of the country expresses confidence in the President, although he is’ personally a Re publican. He summarizes Roosevelt in these words: ‘““His actions have been well determined, he has not dilly-dallied, he has succeeded in putting his ideas into force.” With prices of all agricultural products and other commodities increasing, the dawning of an era of prosperity is near at hand. Increased values in stocks, bonds and securities is another indication that conditions are stabilizing and will soon be reestablished on a firm and substantial :basis. Besides confidence is being restored and the morale of the people being im "proved, all of which contributes to the mflelfare of the nation and to all of the peo ple. An arch-shaped tire has been invented that does not contain air under pressure, but which is more resilient than solid tires. - OCCURTOYOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything BY HUGH ROWE R ———————— —————— e —— A ——————— Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Daniels of this city, was recently elected vice - presidert and general manager of the Wilcon lce company, at Wilson, N. C. Mr. Daniels was born z_md reared in Athens, attending the city schools, after which he enter ed the University of Georgia, and on his graduation from that insti tution, secured a position with the Atlantic Ice and Coal company of this city, which he held for a number of years prior to going to Wilson. Since his connection with that company, he has received several promotions, the last being his election to the offices of vice president and general manager of the Wilson lece company. His many friends in Georgia and the friends of his parents will be pleased to learn of his success in his adopted home state. The first speech in the con gressional campaign to be made in Athens is announced by Representative Harris of Augusta, who opens his cam paign here Friday evening. / Mr. Harris is a forceful speak er and will present his platform to the people so Athens, Clarke and surrounding counties. He will discuss fully the measures he pro poses as issues in the campaign, and invites the public to come out and hear him. It is understood that Paul Brown of Elberton, an other aifnounced candidate, will speak here shortly to the people ©f Athens, Clarke county and sur rounding counties. Mr. Brown, ‘too, is a lawyer rand . forcetul speaker. It may be that other candidates will camp around and lin Athens before the day of the election, speaking and otherwise soliciting votes. Hon. T. J. Shackelford of Athens, has announced that he will be a candidate, and expects to open his campaign within the next few days. He is arranging for a number of cpeaking dates in counties throughout the district. Hon. Abit Nix will not be a candidate for congress, but from reliable information, will be a can didate for governor. Last-.year he made a most remarkable race for that office, running a close second in both popular and unit votes.. From all sections of Georgia in formation comes that he is grow ing in strength, and the demand for him to enter the race is being urgently made by his numerous friends and former suppopters. . Miles Collier, well known farmer and business man and representative in the lower house of the General Assembly of Georgia, an announced can didate for congress, was in Athens yesterday soliciting the support of voters in this county. Mr. Collier is Tunning on an agricultural platform as the rep resentative of the dirt farmers. He, too, will likely speak in Ath ens during the campaign. While he is making a thorough canvass of the district, he has not an nounced any speaking dates. And again, there is much talk going ‘the rounds of the distri‘ct(over the announcement of the probable candidacy of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the Georgia, State College of Agreéiulture. Dr. Soule has been in close touch with the development of the agricultu ral interests in this state for the past twenty-fivé years. He is well known to the farmers in. every section of the state, thousands of them in this section as well as other sections, visiting the insti tutions over which he has presided and directed so successfully. As the campaign progresses, we will undertake to have in stallments of news—not views —in this column. The candi dates and prospective candi dates are all good fellows and friends of ours. Fair enough, do you not think? Our views and preference wouid not meet with unanimous en dorsement any more than ‘would the views and preferences of oth ers meet with our endorsement. So why stir up a row over a mat «er in which all Democrats are in terested. Now, if a Republican should enter the race—that would change the complexion of the present race—and there is danger of such a mix-up with the large number of Democrats running. Just who, of the Republican par ty, might enter, we do not know, but we do believe that there is a possibility of such an occurrence. SEVEN YEARS AGO May 25, 1926. Cotton: 17 cents. Weather: Fair.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE " 3 A LAUDABLE SERVICE : . The Athens General Hospital nurses have instituted an hourly nursing service whereby those who are unable to pay a full time nurse, may secure the services of a well trained nurse for a mini mum charge by the hour. This service is indeed a loyal and just one in these days of strife, when those of moderate means find themselves unable to pay for professional services that are need ed in order to safe guard their health, It is with pride that Athens can boast of such fine spirited ecitizens as the Athens General Hospital alumnae is composed of. It is with pleasure that "I com mend the services of these loyal nurses, L Signed: A CITIZEN.

I not onlj made cars, but sold them and frequently delivered them myself. The "drive away" is not new; often’ I have driven carsvffbm Detroit to towns in Ohio or Indiana or. Michigan to make delivery. There were no good roads in those days, and the people where I drove had never seen a mobvor car before. - My first really enthusiastic customers were Country Doctors. They were the first to realize the value of dependable transportation to a widely scattered practice. . Even today I occasiopally hear from some of those first Ford users We had to teach local mechanics how to care for the cars. That is how Ford Service began, which is now found everywhere in the world. We believed from the beginning that a sale does not complete our transaction with our customer —- it creates upon us an obligation to see that our customer's car gives him service. Ford Dealers know their duty to the public in this respect. : I can say of Ford Dealers generally that they have been and are me of character and standing in their communities. Most of them have been with us many years, which indicates that we agree on basic ‘ business principles. The Company provides that the methods used to se€ the Ford car are consistent with the self-respect of the Dealers who handle it. % The present Ford V-8 is the peak of our 30 years experience. ‘ We have never made a better car. Its eight—cylinder engine is. powerful ‘and smooth running. The car is admittedly very good looking and has comfortable riding qualities.
