THE BUSY MAN
If you want to get a favor done
By some obliging friend,
And want a promise safe and sure,
On which you may depend,
Don.’t go to him who always has
Much leisure time to plan,
But if yoii want your favor done,
Just ask the busy man.
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spare,
He’s always “putting off” until
His friends are in despair.
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work,
Forgets the art of wasting time
He cannot stop to shirk.
So when you want a favor done
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty-four hours a day.
He’ll find a moment sure, somewhere
That has no other use,
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.

W. C. T. U. MEETING
Mrs. Emma Mallet was a genial
hostess to the members of the Wom
an’s Christian Temperance Union
Friday of last week when a good
Christian Citizenship program was
carried out. The fine attendance was
an evidence of the interest felt.
Mrs. A. A. Howell, program chair
man, gave a fine devotional, using
appropriate Bible verses as a foun
dation for her talk on what a Chris
tian citizen should be spiritually in
putting the principles and teachings
of Jesus into every phase of life.
She further emphasized this - truth
by giving incidents of noble cnarac
acters of recent history. This was
followed by prayer by Mrs. Annie
Webb, Mrs. Mallett stressed four
teen fine points, from her paper on
“The duty of a Christian citizen.”
Mrs. J. B. Settle placed emphasis on
the young citizen in her splendid talk.
She spoke of the necessity of teach
ing the importance o flaw observance
and instilling the idea of “total ab
stinence for the individual and pro
hibition for the nation.” Among oth
er things she stated that in 1932
there will be twenty-five and one
quarter millions entitled to vote who
have come of age since 1920. The
enemies of prohibition are counting
on thees young people. Hear them
say, “Every crop of new voters will
be easier because further removed
from saloon days, to convert to our
cause.” Are we going to leave the
young people of our community and
state to the wets to educate? They
are surely doing it with their false
propaganda. This should be counter
acted with facts. “What is a 100 per
cent Americanism” was also read,
Two temperance songs intersperced
the program, “Prohibition obser
vance an<j enforcement —not re
peal,” and “Work for enforcement
where you are” was used.
During business session the presi
dent stressed the membership cam
\
paign. She expressed appreciation of
enrolling Mrs. Morris Moore as a
new member at this meeting. Mrs.
Webb reported games and literature
sent to all schools in the county for
Temperance Day, and reports of good
programs have been received.
Posters were displayed and this
union will follow the national plan
of observing Poster Week. They will
be placed in schools in the county as
well as places in town.
During the enjoyable social time
Mrs. George Mallet and Mrs. Victor
Carmichael served delicious sand
wiches and coffee, and .salted pecans
and home-made candy were passed.
The May meeting will be held with
Mrs. George Head with Mrs. Annie
Curry assisting.
