Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1922 aiaL w HOSPITAL WOMEN TO CANVASS CITY. Because of the apparent irre sponsiveness of the people of Ameri cus to the appeal made by thq women of the Hospital association with re gard to funds with which to make necessary repairs on' the building, it was decided at a recent called meet ing to hold a house to tfouse canvass for one day on April 6, at which time every person in the city will be asked to give toward the mile of pennies now being collected for the fund. Mrs. C. C. Hawkins, president of • the Hospital association, therefore urges all the friends of the institution to assist them to the fullest extent on this one day drive for the money “The repaiis must be done and that immediately,” she told the board at the meeting, “and we*inust get this work done before the hot season renders other repairs necessary by delay now.” Only about $25 has been contrib uted thus far, with other amounts pledged. Among the contributors of tins week—are Mrs. G. R. Ellis, 2 ieet; Miss Annie Ansley and Mrs. N. J. Ansley, 5 feet; W. A. Joyner, 2 feet; E. J. Tyson, 1 1-4 feet; Miss Claude McLaughlin, 1 foot; Miss An nie McLaughlin, 1 foot; Mrs. R. F. Poole, 3 feet; Mrs. H. C. Tarver, 6 1-4 feet; Mrs. E. J. Shehan, 4 feet; Mrs. Robertson, near Americus, 2 feet. The contribution from Mrs. Robertson is the only onp as yet re ceived from the country, and it is hoped her example will be followed by others. » * * BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS TO BE SEEN HERE FRIDAY. The Arts club, which was or ganized a few months ago and which has done so much for the communi ty in the way of art work, will en tertain their friehds and acquaints ances and all other interested per ons Friday afternoon at the Ameri cus high school with a showing of beautiful paintings. The entertain ment will begin at 3:30 o’clock, the auditorium of the high school build ing being chosen after due considera tion because of the seating capacity and because of its central location. The Music Study club, which works in harmony with the Arts club and the other clubs of the city, will assist in the entertainment, giving a select musical program by members of the home club and the clubs in the surrounding cities. Invitations have been sent to the clubs in Monte zuma, Plains, Smithville, Leslie and other places to be pi esent and par ticipate in the showing. About 50 pictures will be shown, all perfect reproductions of the brushes of the master painters of the old world, as well as the modern paintings, beautifully hand colored, flowing the tone colorings existing in the originals. English, French and Italian pictures are in the group, and this is a rare opportunity for • the community to see the pictures the originals of which are kept in art galleries. The exercises are entirely free to the public, the Arts club doing this to stimulate interest and enthusiasm for fine arts. GIRLS!

If the Tigers have developed a combination for the key stone sack, Detroit must seriously be considered in this year’s pennant race. At present chances-are that a vet eran and a recruit will be to the •'ight and left of this point when the season opens. The recruit is Emory E. Rigney, a slender youth who somewhat resembles Dave Bancroft in build. He came out of the Texas League to Detroit and was immedi ately handed the job of shortstop ping. The veteran second sacker will be either “Pep” Young or George Cut shaw. Young is a Detroit veteran. Last season he developed a throwing fault which seriously handicapped , his team. Young suddenly became unable at times to throw to first base, tossing the ball wildly. He seemed unable to overrtnne the fault. During the winter months he underwent an op eration to his throwing arm and he may be able to rid himself of the weakness. If Young does not play second LOVELY AFTERNOON PARTY FOR CLUB. Mrs. David Jennings was hotess Wednesday afternoon at her home on Brown street to the members of the Wednesday 42 club, which was one of the prettiest of the week. The living rooms were tilled with a profusion of dogwood blossoms and frangrant honeysuckle, forming a pretty background for the six tables which; Were arranged and for the lovely afternoon costumes worn by the guests. A salad course completed the game, and playing were Mrs. James Bynum, Mis. Charles Hale, Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs. C. C. Carnes, Mrs. Grey Till man, Mrs. Willis Morgan, Miss Brownie Carter, Miss Brownie Hodg es, Miss Lallie Carter, Miss Eliza beth Brown, Mrs. George Holston, Miss Mary Alice Lingo, Miss Mattie Lou Horne, Miss Edith Creighton, Mrs. George Boatright, Mrs. John Sheffield.

As a mem ber of the Pirates last year he bat ted .340, the highest average, of his career. He was a demon in the ] inches. Ty Cobb signed Cutshaw during the winter to play utility roles for Detroit. Cobb’s argument is that a veteran wfll be of much more value in the utility part than a youngster. Utility infielders are generally call < d into service in the pinches and a veteran is not likely to make mis takes in the pinches while that will ■ be the time when a youngster is most j likely to make them.

Miss Margaret Streeter, who is demonstrator at large for a talking machine concern, will be in Ameri cus the latter part of April for the purpose of stimulating interest in the community and Schools for good music as recorded by the Victrola. Miss Efla Polk, director of music in the- city schools and chairman of ■ music for the state, has been in close j personal communication with Miss > Streeter for the past three years, and I it was through her instrumentality 1 that Miss Streeter conies here. At I the nation concention of music | clubs in Nashville recently, from which Miss Polk has just returned here, Miss Polk secured a promise of a visit to this community. Miss Streeter will attend the convention ’ of musical organizations in Columbus I April 20, 21 and 22, and from theYte j she will come here. I She will demonstrate the growth F- THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. of music in the schools and cities in the past several years, and her message will be especially addressed to the patrons and teachers of the schools. She will use records to es tablish her claim that music can best be taught through the hearing by records. Musical appreciation will form, a part of her talk, together’ with a plea for better music in the homes, schools and public entertain ments. The various clubs of the city will co-operate with Miss Polk and Miss Streeter in making the occas ion one of profit and pleasure. ♦ * * SABBATH OBSERVANCE SUBJECT OF MEETING At the meeting of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union in the First Baptist church Tuesday after noon, an interesting program was heard by the twelve or fifteen mem bers present. Mrs. Z. A. Littlejohn presided, and read an unusual paper on “Observ ance of the Sabbath,” which led to earnest and prayerful Thought for the remainder of the exercises. The Scripture lesson was taken from the laws of Moses as laid down to the Israelites for their strict observance of the holy day, and prayers follow ed that the members of the organiza tion and the congregations of the various churches should heed the ad monitions. Mrs. W. C. Bland read an inter esting leaflet on “Gems of Thought of Great Men Concerning the Observ ance of the Sabbath,” which told of ] the manner in which Washington, Jef ferson, and many great men of a century ago, as well as the influential factors of the present day, i egard the ! observance of the Sabbath. Resolutions were drafted ami read by request by Mrs. R. P. Stackhouse I on the observance of the Sabbath in Americus, and were placed on the minutes by Mrs. N. A. Vaughan, sec- > retary, who was instructed to ask that they be printed in the Times-Re corder. They follow: “First, That we greatly deplore the violation of the Sabbath in our community; "Second, That we recognize the observance of the Sabbath as a di vine command from God. “Third, That we would ask those I of our town and community who an j indulging in sports on God’s day to [ desist from the same, realizing that I they are not only violating God’s ; law, but through their influence are ausing others to sin, thereby en- 1 tailing suffering upon their own child ren, even unto the third and fourth generation; ’’Fourth, That we as individuals and as an organization, will do all in our power, in our homes and in' our ommunity to keep God’s day holy.
