COMING OF CLYDE OFFICIALS.
The people of Brunswick will accord
a hearty welcome to the officials of
the Clyde line, who, headed by Pres
ident H. H. Raymond, are due to ar
rive in the city tomorrow morning on
a mission of deep concern to Bruns
wick apd her most vital industry—the
shipping of the port.
iine Bltuation * n Bruns
n° detailed explanation
or tfftet\*|pi| here, for it is familiar to
ave lWgef percentage of the people
of since it has been ai
subject of city-wide discussion in
Brunswick for many* months. How
ever, wrywy much doubt i£-the rank
and file of the people of this city un
derstand or appreciate the gravity of
the.situatino. r ■
The truth of the matter is that for
the past two years, more or less, the
Clyde line has operated its ships in
the Brunswick-New York service at a
serious loss —a loss that seemed to
grow in volume rather than decrease.
For many months the Clyde people
“stood by the ship” with admirable
grace and yet the losses from opera
tion piled up, without any show of
diminishing.
Last June, the Clyde line served
notice on the people of Brunswick that
the United States Shipping
the company both had reached the
conclusion to withdraw the line from
the port of Brunswick on July first.
The notice acted like a dynamic explo
sion in Brunswick and our commercial
organizations got busy on the Job;
sent delegations to New York and
Washington and finally, on pledges
that greater cargoes would be pro
duced in Brunswick for both incoming
and outgoing sailings, the Shipping
Board and the Clyde line consented to
a continuance of the service with in
creased and regular sailings.
The Clyde line people have kept
their engagements with the people of
Brunswick and since July first, we
Have had a dependable weekly sailing
from New York to Brunswick. But
the trouble is, that we have not deliv
ered the cargoes to the Clyde lino and
while there has been some improve
ment in the situation, the balances
are still In red Ink and unfortunate
ly, they are still on the wrong side
of the ledger!
Now President Raymons and Traffic
Manager Levis are coming to Bruns
wick on Monday for first hand confer
ences with the people of this city on
the subject to see what can be done,
to serve all interests and to work ofit
a situation that will not bHng hard
ships on any of the various interests.
Only this week a local delegation of
business ment Avent to Atlanta, to ask
the cooperation of the commercial bod
ies of that city In the matter and to
urge upon them the advantage cf ship
ping tonnage through the port of
Brunswick, rather than through norts
of Florida and South Carolina. They
met with some success and it is be
lieved that good results will come
frcm the visit.
But Brunswick business can aid in
this work. If It will realise the slum
lion and route every ton of its frelgut
via the Clyde line, when it is at all
possible to do so. If they will do this,
they wilt go a long way towards help
ing solve the problem.
In the meantime. Brunswick will b'
pleased to welcome Pre blent Ray
mond. He Is no stranger to this city
having lived here for yaars. he
familiar with the situation and in bid
ding him welcome, Brunswick feis
that she is gi-vlng the glad hmd to : >
old friend, who will be willing to ah
her in the great fight she is making.
The hope is that we will be abse tr
get together on some sort of a bast,
tatlsfuctory and remunerative to a!
parties at Interest. To that end Brum
wiek is striving and she -avks the w
operation of her own people and the
Clyde official* a* well!
oCCOOL HOURS AGAIN.
The News is more than pleased t.
*ay that it h*U#ve that the Board o*
Education, will in the course of th
aegt few days, announce a chang*
In the school hours in the local school
that will meet with, the very hearty ap
proval of the patrons of the school
generally.
The meeting on Friday nigh* ,to dt#
cuss in op*‘n forum the question, w
large?? 1 uHewiled and it Is bclieTt
that much misunderstanding wr.
cleared up by the very sensible talk
made by the advocates of both the elf
plan and'th# new on#, as well as b'
two splendid* talks made hy Messrs
Millard Reeds and U H. Haym. mem
tiers of the 08-rd.
As we said, in the beginning, we t r
■versuaded that the situation has beei
clarified and that many of the patron.-
view th# alt nation from. differ#?
standpoint, sine# the addrcaoes m ’d
hy the member* and In view of cer
lain condition* existing in the open
tlnu f the wchoni*. with which th
public at large i not acquainted k N v
MT ta, for instance were aware of tb*
fact that under th# law. thirty t*
ut tn #JCh day must be devoted It
*U of the school* to pbynkal cultu.
and that theJMWMhi t *tud'
are all prescribed by higher education
al bodies, which fix these
in all of the best schools in the oojfl
try.
fn any event, w ft feel that the
hn? acted for the very best ititerwß
tin- children of tlx- connrmnby
very much hope that no feelln®||||
been engendered in the discuM||§
which at times was rather
ed with pronounced emphasis. Cer
tain, it is that all pf us have
tried to bring about the best condi
tions consistent with good scboo’s and
happy homes and If any other con
struction has been placed on anything
that was said or done, then let’s all
forget it!-
We are disposed to believe that
within a very few days, the Board wiil
announce anew program of hours and
while the advocates of both sides may
not get all that they wanted, we are
of the opinion that the new plan will
be acceptable to a vast majority of
the patrons, teachers and the public
generally. And we say this without
being in the confidence' of the Board
o? Education or any of its members,
but we are merely making deductions
on what we think must occur, in tho
light of Friday night’s meeting; the
discussions had there and the petition
of. the patrons filed with the Board.
In conclusion, may we not share the
hope expressed by P?esident Wood at
the meeting the other night, that this
situation bring about a more
•wholesome interest in. the schools?
Parents should evince more interest
In the schools and in the school life of
their children. They should also take
more interest in the teachers who
come to us each year. They come
from teflned cultured homes; they
should receive more social recognition
and we should see to it tha- - a greater
measure of pleasure is injected into
their lives.
THAT FLORIDA TRIP.
The motorcade of Brunswick busi
ness and their wives is taking on a
great interest, and from present indi
cations twenty to twenty-five cars will
leave Brunswick on the morning of
October 24th filled with Brunswick
bQosters and their wives, for a trkp
through the most progressive and rap
idly developing sections of Florida.
It has been determined by the com
mittee in charge that Brunswick men
will be permited and expected to take
their ladle* with them. * #
All of the Boarand! of
nbers of Commerce of the cities that
this motorcade will visit, have already
expressed their delight at our com
ing, and have assured us of a warm
welcome and a profitable time.
Tampa Is so insistent cn the Bruns
wick people visiting that city that it
has been decided to make a hurried
trip to Tampa, but In so doing it will
not lengthen the time that we expect
to be away from Brunswick.
Arrangements have already been
made whereby we can secure rooms
and baths, including three meals, for
$5.00 a day. Hence this expense will
aggregate $35.00 per person and leave
$15.00 lee way for gasoline, oil. etc..
for each persra occupying a seat in
>ach car, making the trip to cost ap
iroxlmate’y $50.00 per person, and not
ver SOO.OO at the most. It Is under
stood that each man or lady occuplyng
a seat In any car will pay their pro
rata portion of the expense incident
to the running of that car by the own
er. In other words, It could not he
expected that n Brunswick citizen
owning a seven passenger car t catr>
six friends and defray all of the ?ar
expenses himself.
The date set for the motorcade U
mly two weeks cff. and at this time
fifty citizens and their wives
Yve signed up to go on this trip. We
nust have at least 100, and the com
■niter requests that all who desire
‘o make this trip get in touch with C.
Miller, or Fred Ward#, of the Board of
Trade. Immediately, and make rescr
atlons.
This trip is unique and pleasant enc
vet back of it all is a harvest vl good
results for Brunswick i* will meat,
mich to every individual who goes
and in :he oai It will be of real h n*Mtt
o this city.

For reasons of economy, it ap- ;
pears, the' United States Shipping
Board as controlling owner of the
steamship line between Bruns
. wick York is about to
eliminate Brunswick 3S a port of
call because Brunswick’s trade is
not as much as the Board re
quires.
Obviously. Brunswick’s prob
lems in such circumstances is to
build up her trade, and with that
object her civic bodies have sent
a delegation to confer with civic
bodies in Georgia cities to enlist
their co-operation.
It is gratifying to note that At
lanta’s civic bodies at meetings
this week have pledged their
whole-hearted support to Bruns
wick’s campaign, with the result
that a substantial volume of ton
nage is likely to be routed by At
lanta shippers through thta port.
As Brunswick points out, her
facilities for prompt handling of
tonnage from eastern ports to
Georgia interior cities are equal
to the best on the South Atlantic
seaboard. Her steamer schedules
are convenient and regular, her
railroad lines reach the principal
distributing centers of the inter
ior, and her harbor and dock facil
ities are fully adequate for the
present and the future.
•
Georgia has two ports of prime
importance. Savannah 2nd Bruns
wick. -The former is fortunately
not in* a position where she must
conduct a campaign to preserve
her steamer schedules. Brunswick
is entitled to every consideration
in this important matter and the
self-reliant manner in which Bhe
has gone about It is highly com
mendable.
