K m g GOODWIN'SWEEKLY. 1 SA UNTERINGS 1H ONE of tlio largest and most sue cessful affairs of the week was the banquet tendered F. H C. Richmond, president of the Com- H morclal club on Wednesday evening, B an honor he so richly deserves for his H' untiring work as president of the club. H7 During his incumbency ho has accom- H1 pllshed a great deal for the organiza- H Hon and for the community In gen- H erAl, and the banquet was given him H as a mark of appreciation, though a H largo number of his friends in the B club, who would have been delighted m to participate in the celebration, wero M prevented from doing so because they' M did not receive an invitation. M It vas tlie general impression that m it was to be a Commercial club af H fair, but seemingly those who thought B it such were V ''ken as it was con H fined to a cou -live few invited by H a committee, personnel of which M was apparently chosen mysteriously. H As an aftermath of tlio celebration the M majority of the members of the Com H mercial club are asking whether the H Commercial club is a Commercial club H or dominated by a private clique sim- H ilar to that which has made a business H of constituting itself a composite H oracle to say who shall and who shall H not enter the sacred precincts else- H where, the criterion being a guess as H to who owns a dress suit and who H does not. H But the banquet was highly success- H ful, though very limited in numbers. H If it really was a private affair it is H nobody's business who was included, H but a mistake was made in allowing H the impression to get out that it was H a club function in which there was H discrimination in the matter of invi- H tations. H H ycW of our leading socety men, H a Mr. Louis Nockles and Mr. Lee H Glockner were recently discussing the H war and wondering just how the con- H scription act would affect them, not H that either (one was afraid to go, in H fact, they were eager because they H both need a trip. H Mr. Nockles had announced his In- H tention to join the marines, or the H submarines, but was trying to find out H the attitude of Mr. Glockner in regard H to the war situation. But the latter H was noncommital until Beau iNockles H bought an evening paper and saw H where the "McHaig," with a full car- M load of Scotch had been sunk by a H submarine. He called the attention of H Mr. Glockner to the fact and that H gentleman, who had been neutral up H to that time, immediately announced H his intention of enlisting in the Indus- H trial army of Scotland to add his bit H in order to fill the void. B HDANSANT was given at the resi- dence of Mrs. Thomas Kearns H' on Friday afternoon for the war relief Hi frnd. It was a semi-public event and m was most successful socially and R financially.
