AND GUESTS MET AT
DETROIT LAST WEEK
ELECTS OFFICERS IN
RECENT MEETING
Bankers of Michigan, Ohio,
and Indiana Were Specially Interested in Plan
of Accounting.
FACTORIES NOW BUSY ON
1,250,000 PRODUCTION PROGRAM
(By H. B. Johnson)
Eleven hundred men representing
the Chevrolet dealers and their bankers from all quarters 0f Michigan.
Ohio and Indiana gathered in Detroit
last Wednesday for the tenth of- a
series of 48 nationwide meetings to
be held this winter.
The convention was held in the
Oriole Theatre and was in charge of
R, H. Grant, vice-president of the
Chevrolet Motor Company in charge
of sales, and H. J. Klinger, general
sales manager, and several of the
. leading executives of the organization delivered addresses.
Mr. Grant said that with the demand or its cars all the highest level
in the history of the company, the
Chevrolet Motor Company is preparing for the greatest year in its lvis-
■ tory with its sixteen giant factories
now busy on a 1,250,000 production
program for 1929.
The speakers predicted that the
new "Chevrolet six cylinder car which
was built after four years of designing and re-designing, testing and
proving on the General Motors proving grounds at Milford, and which
combine economy, beauty and performance within the price range of- a
four cylinder car, would enable both
dealers and factory organizations to
shatter all former records by a wide
margin.
A plan of standardized service in
which a service policy is issued to the
purchaser of a Chevrolet car was explained to the dealers, and the fact
that each dealer should be a good
business man was stressed.
The bankers who attended the convention were especially interested in
the plan of accounting and general
bookkeeping which enables the dealer
to keep a perpetual Inventory and
used car control sheets. Any dealer
who follows closely the advice of the
Chevrolet executives will have his
business systematic and well in hand
all of the time.
The talks were illustrated in the
form, of playlets, depicting the proper
procedure to be followed in the successful operation of a retail automobile business. More than a carload
of scenery, draps, special fixtures
and articles of furniture valued at
more than $100,000, were used to
stage the afternoon and it required
the services of a special crew of mechanical engineers to handle the
operations back of the stage.
Movietone pictures were shown of
' the proving ground and other -interesting features of Chevrolet testing,
even giving the sound of the motor
at various speeds. The entire program was the most graphic presentation of a sales campaign ever attempted by 'an automobile manufacturer and the Chevrolet Motor Company hopes through the medium of
these meetings to bring the 1929
Chevrolet sales message directly to
every one of their dealers in the
United States.
To top off a busy day for these
eleven hundred men, an elaborate
banquet was served in the Statler
Hotel in the evening. W. S. Knud-
sen, president of the Chevrolet Motor
Company was host at the banquet
aiid the entire ballroom floor of the
hotel was required to accommodate
this large gathering.
During the serving of the dinnei*,
William Powers of Flint, who is well
known in Clare and who led the singing at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting last spring, assisted by a
large orchestra, kept the guests in
good humor.
Mr. Grant was toastmaster and addresses were delivered by several
high General Motors officials including C. S. Mott, vice-president, C. F.
Kettering, president of the General
Motors Research laboratories, B. G.
Koether, Charles T. Fish'er, Alfred J.
Fisher, H. J. C. Henderson, C. F.
Borth, o. E. Hunt, chief engineer of
Chevrolet and J. E. Grimm, advertising manager pf the Chevrolet Motor
Company.
Glowing reports of the bright prospects for the automobile business in
New England, the east and middle
Atlantic sections of the country in
1929 were given by the speakers and
great enthusiasm for an unprecedented. Chevrolet year prevailed
among the guests.

the writer represented Clare and the
Zemmer Motor Sales at the convention and banquet.

FAST WHIPPET
PICK-UP NOTED
Willys-Overland Cars Fill
Demand for Rapid Get-
Away in City Traffic.
With almost universal adoption
of traffic signals, even in the smaller cities, automobile manufacturers
year after year have given increasing study to building cars to meet'the
present congested driving conditions.
This has resulted in the development
of engines to provide speedier pickup for fast get-away, in Traffic.
By merely watching the performance of various automobiles when the
traffic lights at a street intersection
switch from "red" to "green" one may
readily note those cars having exceptional activity. Those cars with
power plants permitting a faster getaway sweep far ahead of the cars em-
plpyiug, a , sluggish motor, and consequently their "drivers are less bothered by heavy traffic conditions.
Among the first cars to meet this
traffic condition was the original
Whippet produced by the Willys-
Overland company. Tliese cars were
noted for their high activity factor in
heavy traffic and soon became recognized as the ideal type in the low
priced field for town use.
An improvement in traffic performance over the original Whippet is
found in the new Superior Whippet
Fours and Sixes recently introduced
by the Toledo manufacturer. In this
day of congested traffic in cities, the
majority of drivers seldom, if ever, resort to low speed from a standing
start for a "get-away" in traffic.
Usually, they resort to second speed,
and it is the cars With a fast second
speed get-away that are the first
away in traffic.
The new Whippets show unusual
pick-up and get-away in second speed
—materially higher than in the former models. This gives the driver of
the new Whippet a distinct advantage
where a quick get-away carries the
car far ahead of others and reduces
the discomfitures of heavy traffic to
a minimum, *
Five men. were, injured when the
waycar in which they were riding left
the track on the Harrison branch of
the.Pere Marquette railroad about ten
miles northwest of Clare, last Friday
afternoon.
The division snow plow in charge
of Track Supervisor, S. S. Smith, left.
Clare during the, forenoon to clear
this fifteen mile stretch of branch
track and several section crews consisting of sixteen men were in the
waycar. , •
A broken rail caused the accident
and the heavy plow and engine went
over safely, but when the waycar
came to the break, it was torn1 loose
from the engine and , went over a
steep embankment.
Charles Neimeyer of this city, who
is foreman of the Harrison section,
was cut en the face and bruised about
the body. George Pointer, of Saginaw, had his back badly injured:
Arthur Richmond and Arthur Horning were cut and bruised and Robert
Brown, of Farwell was badly burned
about the arms and hands when the
stove tipped over on him.
The injures men were placed in the
snow plow and after the rail was replaced were brought to Clare for medical aid. They suffered greatly from
exposure to the blinding snow storm.
Mr. Neimeyer is still confined to his
bed but the physician reports that he
is making satisfactory progress toward recovery. Horning, Brown and
Smith were taken to Saginaw hospital
where the extent of their injuries will
be determined. a

Local Players Well Supported at Out-of-town Game
by Home Folks.
In a low scored, fast and hard
fought basketball game in the St.
Louis high school gymnasium Tuesday night,' the Clare high team was
nosed out by the St. Louis team, and
the latter won by the score of 12 to
10.
Clare scored from the first toss up
of the ball, Johnson tipping the ball
to Nivison, who passed it to^Grover
and he went down to the basket for
an easy dog shot. A double foul was
called and St. Louis was successful
on the free throw, while the Clare
player failed to register the point. A
successful free throw by Joslin ended
the scoring until the last few seconds
of the first quarter, when Brown made
a basket for St. Louis and the score
3tood at three all when the period
ended.
Brown of St. Louis, put the ball
through the hoop during the second
quarter, but Clare failed,to secure although they had a few chances that
looked good and made three free
throws that fellL short of the mark,
and the half ended 5 fo 3 in favor of
the down state lads.
In the third quarter, Brown and
Harris each made a field goal for St,
Louis, but the only counters for Clare
were made by Nivison on free throws.
Qlare Shot the ball towards the basket many times during this period of
the game but to no avail, and when
the whistle sounded the score was 9
to 5 against them.
Lange and I-Ieams went in for Joslin and Nivison at the beginning of
the. last quarter, and a, field basket
by Grover and two successful free
throws by Hearns tied the^ score at 9.
The referee called a foul on Clare
which gave St. Louis two shots,
Brown registered on one of the free
throws, Lange was successful in a
free throw soon afterward and the
score was again tied at 10 all. With
the crowd of spectators on their feet
and both teams going at fullspeed.it
was an exciting' time. Just before the
final whistle, Richards, the St. Louis
center, smashed through the Clare defence and put the ball in the basket
to cinch the victory for his team.
The preliminary game between the
reserves of the two schools was also
a hard fought contest, but was lacking in teamwork or organized plays,
more closely resembling a game of
keep away, as the members of both
teams scrambled for the ball. *The
final score was 22 to 15 in favor of
Clare.
The Alldread men go to Reed City
for a game with their traditional
rivals in basketball tonight, and if
they can get their basket 'shooting
eye and put into the game the fighting spirit which so often has charac-
lerized their playing, they should
break tho jinx that so long has kept
them from winning 'from the strong
team at the Osceola county seat.
On May 9th, 1891 a. great disaster
fell upon the little town of Clinton
situated a little south of what has
since' been known as Summit Crossing, north of Farwell on the Ann
Arbor railroad.
It was very dry, there having been
no rain for many weeks. A fire which,
had started southwest of there about
a mile spread- rapidly with a strong
wind from that direction and in two
days completely surrounded the little
village.
It was on Saturday and most of the
population, were Adventists so consequently most of the women were
to Farwell to church and the men
were lounging around town ' waiting
for their wives. One man alone remained in Clinton and a few women
and children.
Dr. L. L. Kelly and other men who
had been watching the fire became
alarmed so taking a handcar sped up
the rail road to the scene of the disaster at once.
Those who had remained at home
became frantic and had carried their
household belongings out and were
waiting with the hope that some conveyance might be had to move them
but in this they were disappointed
for they burned on the spot where
they lay.
Al Sherman, of Farwell, had loaded
a wagon with his goods and endeavored to move out but he was surrounded
in the swamp by fire and here they
also burned.

THE OLD HOME TOWN
Here's to Clare and Main Street!
• Call them "common" as you may,
They're made something mighty
fine
Out of common human clay,
' Joy and pain, toil and sorrow,
Heart throbs, all rolled into one,
Where is there a better town
Anywhere under the shining sun?
- To the north, and to the south,
. To the east, and to the west;
Sons and daughters have wondered
Far away from their nest.
Love for their old home town
Is something they never lack;
Uppermost in mind's.the thought,

GRIM REAPER VISITS
•HAPPY VERNON HOME
Funeral of Mrs. Earl Phinisey to be Held From
HomeFridayAiternoon.
The many friends of Mrs. Earl
Phinisey were grieved Wednesday
corning when it became known that
she had passed from this life at
mid-night following a short illness.
Bertie Leeth, daughter of John and
Elmira Leeth, was born in Ohio, December 25th, 1892, and departed this
life at her home south of Clare, January 30th, 1929, aged 36 years, one
month and five 4ays.
She lived with her parents in Ohio
until she was twelve years of age
when they moved to Michigan and
settled in the neighborhood of the
Eagle church, northeast of this city,
and she grew to womanhood in that
community.
At twenty years of age, she was
married to Earl R. Phinisey, and to
this union three daughters were born,
Thelma Irene, 15, Harriet Ethel 8 and
Eola Ruth 3.
Mr. and Mrs. Phinisey resided on
the Perry farm just south of Vernon
hill for fifteen years and moved to the
Bowman farm five miles south last
fall.
. Mrs. Phinisey was a loving, kind
and devoted wife and mother, using
all of her strength for her home and
her loved ones. She leaves to mourn
her loss, her husband, three daughters, three brothers, Mack Leeth, of
Lyons, Colorado; McCloy Leeth, of
Detroit; Giles Leeth, of Lansing; and
three sisters, Mrs. Madonna Stevens,
of Lansing; Mrs. James Cromley. of
Antwerp, Ohio; and Mrs. Alex Stitts-
worth, of Pontiac, besides other .relatives and a host of friends.
Funeral services will be held from
the residence this afternoon at tw~
o'clock with Rev. H. B. Johnson officiating, and interment will be in
Cherry Grove cemetery.
The Good Literature Club held its
regular meeting at the home of Mrs.
Ruth Hachmuth Monday evening, January 28th.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, Mrs. Stella Lampman.
After the business session the program' was turned over to Mrs. Bogan. '
The first was, a piano solo, "Cherry
Buds" by Fredrick Keats played
beautiful by Elizabeth Feighner. She
responded to an encore, "In the Star- :,
light." Both selections were enjoyed
very much. j
Miss Verda Zuschnitt then read a
very interesting and instructive paper •
on "Boulder Dam," A large map was '
used to point out-the Colorado river .
and the states through which it flows, *
Miss Zuschnitt said the building of
this dam presents a problem in development, distribution and cooperation unique in the history of our
county. With the Colorado river are
linked inseparably in the public mind:
Boulder Dam, irrigation, flood control,
power and state rights. The construction of this dam will be a benefit and -
an advantage both locally and nationally. The turbulent Colorado river
will be curbed and harnessed and,
what has been a national menace-will'
become a great national asset.
Mrs. Anna Northon's paper was on
"Art in-Architecture." It was given
in a most interesting-way. She said,
"Art is the expression in terms of
beauty; to be art, it must be the ordered and amplified expression of an
ideal. Architecture may be the art or
scene of building houses, bridges, etc.
for civil purposes. Then there is
military architecture, naval architecture and so on, but it is not art unless underlying it all, there is an
ideal. Mrs, Northon mentioned Greek
Art, Egyptian art and many others.
fc>he had twenty-five pictures which
were passed around from the Art Institute of Detroit illustrating the different styles of architecture.
"The work of the Illustrator" was
given ' by Mrs. Clara Sternaman. It '
was very interesting and instructive
as well. 'Different painters were discussed and ■ there were pamphlets
showing their pictures and their work.
These were: Harrison Fisher, (a
Painter of Girlhood); Fairy Land Pictures by Arthur Rockhum, Edmund'
Dulac, and Sir John Tenniel; Imaginative Illustrations by W. T. Benda the
Polish artist and Caro Delvaille the
French.
Other artists and their work were
spoken of such as: Edward A. Wilson, Chas. Livingston Bull, Gordon
Grant, Elizabeth McKinstry, Walter
Jackson, Duncan and C. B. Falls.
Altogether the program of the evening was very interesting, entertaining and profitable for all who were
present.
In two weeks the annual meeting
will be held with Mrs. Oneita Tich-
enor. At this time will be held the
election of officers followed by a
social evening. Refreshments will be
served.
MRS. HALLSE GORDINEER .
TENDERED SURPRISE
A pleasant surprise was tendered
Mrs. Hallie Gordineer Monday evening when sixteen of her lady friends
gathered at her home and took possession for the evening. .
A social hour was spent in playing
bridge, after which a pot luck luncheon was served. Before leaving for
their respective homes the host was
presented with a handsome token of
remembrance of the occasion,
Mrs. Gordineer left" Wednesday for

FACTORIES NOW BUSY ON 1,250,000 PRODUCTION PROGRAM (By H. B. Johnson) Eleven hundred men representing the Chevrolet dealers and their bankers from all quarters 0f Michigan. Ohio and Indiana gathered in Detroit last Wednesday for the tenth of- a series of 48 nationwide meetings to be held this winter. The convention was held in the Oriole Theatre and was in charge of R, H. Grant, vice-president of the Chevrolet Motor Company in charge of sales, and H. J. Klinger, general sales manager, and several of the . leading executives of the organization delivered addresses. Mr. Grant said that with the demand or its cars all the highest level in the history of the company, the Chevrolet Motor Company is preparing for the greatest year in its lvis- ■ tory with its sixteen giant factories now busy on a 1,250,000 production program for 1929. The speakers predicted that the new "Chevrolet six cylinder car which was built after four years of designing and re-designing, testing and proving on the General Motors proving grounds at Milford, and which combine economy, beauty and performance within the price range of- a four cylinder car, would enable both dealers and factory organizations to shatter all former records by a wide margin. A plan of standardized service in which a service policy is issued to the purchaser of a Chevrolet car was explained to the dealers, and the fact that each dealer should be a good business man was stressed. The bankers who attended the convention were especially interested in the plan of accounting and general bookkeeping which enables the dealer to keep a perpetual Inventory and used car control sheets. Any dealer who follows closely the advice of the Chevrolet executives will have his business systematic and well in hand all of the time. The talks were illustrated in the form, of playlets, depicting the proper procedure to be followed in the successful operation of a retail automobile business. More than a carload of scenery, draps, special fixtures and articles of furniture valued at more than $100,000, were used to stage the afternoon and it required the services of a special crew of mechanical engineers to handle the operations back of the stage. Movietone pictures were shown of ' the proving ground and other -interesting features of Chevrolet testing, even giving the sound of the motor at various speeds. The entire program was the most graphic presentation of a sales campaign ever attempted by 'an automobile manufacturer and the Chevrolet Motor Company hopes through the medium of these meetings to bring the 1929 Chevrolet sales message directly to every one of their dealers in the United States. To top off a busy day for these eleven hundred men, an elaborate banquet was served in the Statler Hotel in the evening. W. S. Knud- sen, president of the Chevrolet Motor Company was host at the banquet aiid the entire ballroom floor of the hotel was required to accommodate this large gathering. During the serving of the dinnei*, William Powers of Flint, who is well known in Clare and who led the singing at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last spring, assisted by a large orchestra, kept the guests in good humor. Mr. Grant was toastmaster and addresses were delivered by several high General Motors officials including C. S. Mott, vice-president, C. F. Kettering, president of the General Motors Research laboratories, B. G. Koether, Charles T. Fish'er, Alfred J. Fisher, H. J. C. Henderson, C. F. Borth, o. E. Hunt, chief engineer of Chevrolet and J. E. Grimm, advertising manager pf the Chevrolet Motor Company. Glowing reports of the bright prospects for the automobile business in New England, the east and middle Atlantic sections of the country in 1929 were given by the speakers and great enthusiasm for an unprecedented. Chevrolet year prevailed among the guests. ,33. R. Zemmer, Stuart Bicknell and the writer represented Clare and the Zemmer Motor Sales at the convention and banquet. Mrs. E. R.

With almost universal adoption of traffic signals, even in the smaller cities, automobile manufacturers year after year have given increasing study to building cars to meet'the present congested driving conditions. This has resulted in the development of engines to provide speedier pickup for fast get-away, in Traffic. By merely watching the performance of various automobiles when the traffic lights at a street intersection switch from "red" to "green" one may readily note those cars having exceptional activity. Those cars with power plants permitting a faster getaway sweep far ahead of the cars em- plpyiug, a , sluggish motor, and consequently their "drivers are less bothered by heavy traffic conditions. Among the first cars to meet this traffic condition was the original Whippet produced by the Willys- Overland company. Tliese cars were noted for their high activity factor in heavy traffic and soon became recognized as the ideal type in the low priced field for town use. An improvement in traffic performance over the original Whippet is found in the new Superior Whippet Fours and Sixes recently introduced by the Toledo manufacturer. In this day of congested traffic in cities, the majority of drivers seldom, if ever, resort to low speed from a standing start for a "get-away" in traffic. Usually, they resort to second speed, and it is the cars With a fast second speed get-away that are the first away in traffic. The new Whippets show unusual pick-up and get-away in second speed —materially higher than in the former models. This gives the driver of the new Whippet a distinct advantage where a quick get-away carries the car far ahead of others and reduces the discomfitures of heavy traffic to a minimum, * Five men. were, injured when the waycar in which they were riding left the track on the Harrison branch of the.Pere Marquette railroad about ten miles northwest of Clare, last Friday afternoon. The division snow plow in charge of Track Supervisor, S. S. Smith, left. Clare during the, forenoon to clear this fifteen mile stretch of branch track and several section crews consisting of sixteen men were in the waycar. , • A broken rail caused the accident and the heavy plow and engine went over safely, but when the waycar came to the break, it was torn1 loose from the engine and , went over a steep embankment. Charles Neimeyer of this city, who is foreman of the Harrison section, was cut en the face and bruised about the body. George Pointer, of Saginaw, had his back badly injured: Arthur Richmond and Arthur Horning were cut and bruised and Robert Brown, of Farwell was badly burned about the arms and hands when the stove tipped over on him. The injures men were placed in the snow plow and after the rail was replaced were brought to Clare for medical aid. They suffered greatly from exposure to the blinding snow storm. Mr. Neimeyer is still confined to his bed but the physician reports that he is making satisfactory progress toward recovery. Horning, Brown and Smith were taken to Saginaw hospital where the extent of their injuries will be determined. a MRS. A. J: DOHERTY BADLY HURT TUESDAY Received Fractured Hip in Fall on Icy Sidewalk.

Under the auspices of the Clare Study Club. vMrs, R. Bogan, Com. Local Players Well Supported at Out-of-town Game by Home Folks. In a low scored, fast and hard fought basketball game in the St. Louis high school gymnasium Tuesday night,' the Clare high team was nosed out by the St. Louis team, and the latter won by the score of 12 to 10. Clare scored from the first toss up of the ball, Johnson tipping the ball to Nivison, who passed it to^Grover and he went down to the basket for an easy dog shot. A double foul was called and St. Louis was successful on the free throw, while the Clare player failed to register the point. A successful free throw by Joslin ended the scoring until the last few seconds of the first quarter, when Brown made a basket for St. Louis and the score 3tood at three all when the period ended. Brown of St. Louis, put the ball through the hoop during the second quarter, but Clare failed,to secure although they had a few chances that looked good and made three free throws that fellL short of the mark, and the half ended 5 fo 3 in favor of the down state lads. In the third quarter, Brown and Harris each made a field goal for St, Louis, but the only counters for Clare were made by Nivison on free throws. Qlare Shot the ball towards the basket many times during this period of the game but to no avail, and when the whistle sounded the score was 9 to 5 against them. Lange and I-Ieams went in for Joslin and Nivison at the beginning of the. last quarter, and a, field basket by Grover and two successful free throws by Hearns tied the^ score at 9. The referee called a foul on Clare which gave St. Louis two shots, Brown registered on one of the free throws, Lange was successful in a free throw soon afterward and the score was again tied at 10 all. With the crowd of spectators on their feet and both teams going at fullspeed.it was an exciting' time. Just before the final whistle, Richards, the St. Louis center, smashed through the Clare defence and put the ball in the basket to cinch the victory for his team. The preliminary game between the reserves of the two schools was also a hard fought contest, but was lacking in teamwork or organized plays, more closely resembling a game of keep away, as the members of both teams scrambled for the ball. *The final score was 22 to 15 in favor of Clare. The Alldread men go to Reed City for a game with their traditional rivals in basketball tonight, and if they can get their basket 'shooting eye and put into the game the fighting spirit which so often has charac- lerized their playing, they should break tho jinx that so long has kept them from winning 'from the strong team at the Osceola county seat. On May 9th, 1891 a. great disaster fell upon the little town of Clinton situated a little south of what has since' been known as Summit Crossing, north of Farwell on the Ann Arbor railroad. It was very dry, there having been no rain for many weeks. A fire which, had started southwest of there about a mile spread- rapidly with a strong wind from that direction and in two days completely surrounded the little village. It was on Saturday and most of the population, were Adventists so consequently most of the women were to Farwell to church and the men were lounging around town ' waiting for their wives. One man alone remained in Clinton and a few women and children. Dr. L. L. Kelly and other men who had been watching the fire became alarmed so taking a handcar sped up the rail road to the scene of the disaster at once. Those who had remained at home became frantic and had carried their household belongings out and were waiting with the hope that some conveyance might be had to move them but in this they were disappointed for they burned on the spot where they lay. Al Sherman, of Farwell, had loaded a wagon with his goods and endeavored to move out but he was surrounded in the swamp by fire and here they also burned.

The many friends of Mrs. Earl Phinisey were grieved Wednesday corning when it became known that she had passed from this life at mid-night following a short illness. Bertie Leeth, daughter of John and Elmira Leeth, was born in Ohio, December 25th, 1892, and departed this life at her home south of Clare, January 30th, 1929, aged 36 years, one month and five 4ays. She lived with her parents in Ohio until she was twelve years of age when they moved to Michigan and settled in the neighborhood of the Eagle church, northeast of this city, and she grew to womanhood in that community. At twenty years of age, she was married to Earl R. Phinisey, and to this union three daughters were born, Thelma Irene, 15, Harriet Ethel 8 and Eola Ruth 3. Mr. and Mrs. Phinisey resided on the Perry farm just south of Vernon hill for fifteen years and moved to the Bowman farm five miles south last fall. . Mrs. Phinisey was a loving, kind and devoted wife and mother, using all of her strength for her home and her loved ones. She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, three daughters, three brothers, Mack Leeth, of Lyons, Colorado; McCloy Leeth, of Detroit; Giles Leeth, of Lansing; and three sisters, Mrs. Madonna Stevens, of Lansing; Mrs. James Cromley. of Antwerp, Ohio; and Mrs. Alex Stitts- worth, of Pontiac, besides other .relatives and a host of friends.

The Good Literature Club held its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Ruth Hachmuth Monday evening, January 28th. The meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. Stella Lampman. After the business session the program' was turned over to Mrs. Bogan. ' The first was, a piano solo, "Cherry Buds" by Fredrick Keats played beautiful by Elizabeth Feighner. She responded to an encore, "In the Star- :, light." Both selections were enjoyed very much. j Miss Verda Zuschnitt then read a very interesting and instructive paper • on "Boulder Dam" A large map was ' used to point out-the Colorado river . and the states through which it flows, * Miss Zuschnitt said the building of this dam presents a problem in development, distribution and cooperation unique in the history of our county. With the Colorado river are linked inseparably in the public mind: Boulder Dam, irrigation, flood control, power and state rights. The construction of this dam will be a benefit and - an advantage both locally and nationally. The turbulent Colorado river will be curbed and harnessed and, what has been a national menace-will' become a great national asset. Mrs. Anna Northon's paper was on "Art in-Architecture." It was given in a most interesting-way. She said, "Art is the expression in terms of beauty; to be art, it must be the ordered and amplified expression of an ideal. Architecture may be the art or scene of building houses, bridges, etc. for civil purposes. Then there is military architecture, naval architecture and so on, but it is not art unless underlying it all, there is an ideal. Mrs, Northon mentioned Greek Art, Egyptian art and many others. fc>he had twenty-five pictures which were passed around from the Art Institute of Detroit illustrating the different styles of architecture. "The work of the Illustrator" was given ' by Mrs. Clara Sternaman. It ' was very interesting and instructive as well. 'Different painters were discussed and ■ there were pamphlets showing their pictures and their work. These were: Harrison Fisher, (a Painter of Girlhood); Fairy Land Pictures by Arthur Rockhum, Edmund' Dulac, and Sir John Tenniel; Imaginative Illustrations by W. T. Benda the Polish artist and Caro Delvaille the French. Other artists and their work were spoken of such as: Edward A. Wilson, Chas. Livingston Bull, Gordon Grant, Elizabeth McKinstry, Walter Jackson, Duncan and C. B. Falls. Altogether the program of the evening was very interesting, entertaining and profitable for all who were present. In two weeks the annual meeting will be held with Mrs. Oneita Tich- enor. At this time will be held the election of officers followed by a social evening. Refreshments will be served. MRS. HALLSE GORDINEER .
