AT POPLAR BRANCH
On Saturday evening Dec. 27, 1919,
Mr. and Mrs. C. U. Williams entertain
ed the Poplar Branch Betterment As
sociation. .
After the guests arrived each was
asked to tell a joke. These caused an
epidemic of laughter which lasted thru
out the evening, being encouraged by
various games and contests.
A singing class was organized, but
only the conductor took part, much to
her surprise, for she was made to think
that the others would take part but
quiet while she sang, "Go Tell Aunt
Betsy". At the end of the third she
Betsy." At the end of the third line she
one was interested in the Slogan Con
test especially after the hostess announ
ced that the- prize was sugar.
Delicious refreshments consisting of
sandwiches, salad, and wafers were serv
ed. After working hard on the conteBt
this was enjoyed all the more
The members of the spelling class
found it very easy to hold theirs places
since they had to avoid spelling a word
instead of spelling one correctly,. Upon
leaving each guest truthfully said they
had spent a' delightful evening and went
home feeling a little closer,to each other
after having laughed together.

light penalty. . With a dramatic gesture,
Dr. Fetch declared- "I had rather see
my son assaulted and murdered on your
streets, than to have him became avfc
time of the bootlegger, and later fill
a drunkard's grave !"
From an economic standpoint, Dr.
Fetch drew an interesting comparison
between the attitude of people in gene
ral toward industry as against their sen
timent toward the drink evil. The raw
material, declared Dr. Fetch, which is
taken fron field forest or mine, is con
verted by our industrial system into a
finished product of greater value than
it originally possessed. If for any rea
son there should develop a general ten
dency on the" part of any industry to
manuf acture;- the law would take mea
sures to stop it. On the other hand,
when a : liquor dealer reduces the com
merciaLjalue of our most valuable raw
material, namely the young man, by sup
plying him with alcohol which will blur
his faculties and destroy his usefulness
to the community the law all too often
does nothing to prevent.
Considering the cost of his education
and upbringing, and his yearly earning
capacity, Dr. Fetch estimated the value
of the young man at $10,000, or $600
per year, the interest on the former
sum. "With several pointed illustrations
he showed that when the same young
man becomes a regular 'user of alcoholx
his value is swiftly reduced to nothing.
He becomes a burden upon the commu
nity to which he was formerly a valu
able asset. Ten such men represent an
economic loss to the State and Nation
of just $100,000, and when the entire
yearly loss to the country which may
be traced directly to the door of the
demon rum is estimated, .it forms a
staggering total of many millions of
dollars. This entertaining and convinc
ing speaker concluded with a recital
of some of his experiences while serving
under, fire in France as superintendent
of transportation of the 37th Division,
When Dr. Fetch had finished, Coun
ty Superintendent of. Public i Welfare
Preston S. Vann, county director of the
forthcoming prohibition drive, asked the
sentiment of those present as to the
I appointment of a city director to assist
in the work, and upon the motion of
Rev. J. M. Ormond, pastor of the First
Methodist church of this city, it was
decided to form a committee of five
who should select the man for the job.
The committee chosen by Supt. Vann in
clude Rev. J. M. Ormond, Supt. M. P.
Jennings, Dr. G. W. Clarke, Rev. J. W.
Bradley and C. W. Melick.
