■3 \ PAGE TEN Former Professor Speaks To Students (Prom The Blue Stocking) Professor H. T. Lilly of Davidson college, a former English teacher at P. C., was the speaker in chapel Mon day morning. Mr. Lilly had spent the past summer traveling through Rus sia and he took this subject for his speech. When Mr. Lilly was at P. C. he was one of the most popular professors. : In the past he has traveled over Eu rope with Dean Brown, and his trav els have not only given him plenty of material to work with but also given him ideas which makes his speeches interesting on almost any subject. The subject of Russia was especially so inasmuch as the conditions in that country today are very different from any other country in the world. Mr. Lilly began his talk with the difficulties of getting into Russia ex cept by a guide who shows the visitor only those things that make the coun- try look best. He said that one could take very little into the country. A month or six weeks is required to ob tain permission to enter. Russian mon ey must be exchanged at the border. Probably the most interesting part of the subject was the attitude the Russian government takes towards marriage. It is altogether Communist and does not favor marriages. The marriage ceremony is a matter of signing a book. The same holds true in case a divorce is desired. Either party can obtain this without consent or consideration of the other. The gov ernment takes care of the children un til they are of age, which is about six teen years. In this time they are taught communism, to follow the teachings of Lanning and to believe that there is no God. The Russian government will let no one into the country who might in any way effect the teachings of the gov ernment. The people are not allowed to hold property and ninety per cent of the population is the poor class. The people are twilling to work but have no trade. The government handles all food and sells directly to the grocer. From our point of view some of the conditions seem practical ly hopeless and we are prone to won der how such a government can exist. Another interesting thing that Mr. Lilly pointed out was the misconcep tion of the average Russian. He sai j the .\merican people tend to look on the Russians as a bloodthirsty, evil type that would kill you were^ the op portunity to offer itself. Instead of this the people are as kind-hearted as any that can be found on the face of the earth. They are mistreated, but kind, and will gladly do anything to help a stranger. True, they are emo tional, which accounts for the won derful music produced by the Russian people. Mr. Lilly said that some of the most beautiful operas in the worli are in Moscow. It was surprising to hear just the I conditions that existed in a country that formed one-sixth of the total world. While their condition looks hopeless, it is better today than it was before the war, and where it will end is a matter of guesswork only. HOPE TO RE-OPEN COUNTRY CLUB Movement Now Underway To Pur- - chase and Operate Property As Lakeside Club. Citizens of Laurens county will be interested to hear of a movement un der way^to re-possess and re-open the Country club under the new name of Lakeside club. The first step in the movement was taken when a handfull of citizens of Laurens, Clinton and Goldville met two weeks ago at the club to consider whether such a plan is feasible. . A committee was appointed to ne gotiate with Dr. Jack H. Young, pres ent owner of the property, and to in vestigate the condition of the club as it now stands. The report of the committee was very favorable and citizens of the three communities were invited to meet at the club Monday night to hear he report. The result of the meeting which w?is well attended was to enthusiastically endorse the report of the committee and set on foot plans for organization of a corporation to re-purchase and own the property, and direct the or ganization of the club. In Clinton the committee appointed includes the following: W. P. Jacobs, chairman, B, O. Whitten, Frank Kel- lerS, p' It: la^tlby, R. E,; Fei^sow and George Comelson, with W, A. Moor head of Goldville. Thirty-two members were enrolled at the meeting, ~ivith about twenty more indicating that they would join. The meetin^f set one hunired stock holders as the minimum and maxi mum, with stock par value of $100.00 per share, and membership dues of $7.50 per quarter. The committee was directed to se lect the 100 members and collect the funds for the stock subscriptions on a basis of $60.00 cash an(( 30 and 60 days notes ,of $20.00 each for the bal- nace. Of the $10,000 collected, $6,000 will be used for the purchase of the property and the remaining $4,000 will be used for improvement of the club, equipment and maintenance. k feature of the organization is in the “pay-as-you-go basis of finance.” The meeting, considering that the club enjoyed too much credit in the past, and realfzing that very small ex- pemlitures are necessary to place and keep it in good condition now, went on record as disapproving any fur ther debt. .\3 organized the club will owe nothing and will not under any condition be allowed to go into debt in the future. Its financial future can thus be reasonably assured. The water is being immediately drawn from the lake. It will be cleaned out completely, all the old lake equipment removed and new rafts, diving towers, slides and other modern lake equipment will be install ed and the lake floor sanded. The golf course will be put in first class condition and other improve ments will be made about the prem ises. Fried Carrots Jkte Good If the family does not like carrots plain boiled, tl'y boiling them until tender, then roll in egg and crumbs and fry in butter until a golden brown. I The committee reports that it is ! meeting with excellent success, with j indications that the end of this week j will see the completion of the mem- |bership drive and i.he close of the list. The fixing of the number at 100 has accelerated the movement and the I committee is experiencing very little, difficulty in completing the selection. | Citizens desiring to be numbered in, the 100 are advised to turn in their; names to one of the committee this I week to avoid disappointment. I It is understood that the interest in i i Laurens and Gold\nlle is equally as j ' great as in Clinton, a number in both' I localities having enrolled as stock holders. Ham and Apple Salad Cut baked ham in small cubes; use one cup ham to one of diced apple ani a half cup of diced celery. Add-a few chopped nut meats; blend with mayonnaise and serve on crisp let tuce, garnished with ripe olives. It is stated that the present or re- i placement value of the property pur chased is over $15,000. PRIEST KH^LED .

S. W. SUMEKEL Aetna-izer Five Shots Fired At Ohio Father In Doorway of Church At End of Morning Mass. Canton, Ohio, March 10.—Shot down by a woman as he stood in the door way of St. Anthony’s church here where he had just concluded 9 o’clock mass this morning, the Rev. Father Joseph k. Riccarbi, 34, parish priest, died at a hospital late this afternoon. Bullets entered his neck and abdo-j. men. No motive was given. Mrs. Mamie Guerrieri, 27, arrested and denied bail, was questioned by Prosecutor Henry W. Harter, Jr., of Stark county, but shfe would make no statements The priest before he died, is said to have /told the prosecutor that he “could not understand” what the motive was. The woman during mass sat near the rear of the church with her 5-year- old daughter. After mass, the priest went into the vestibule to baptize a baby. The woman followed, according to witnesses, and exchanged a few words with him. She then drew a re volver and fired five shots. Three went iwild. Hurrying into the street, she was arrested and the revolver taken from her. The theory was advanced by Bishop Joseph Scrembs, of Cleveland, who^ during the day conferred with church ^officials here, that the shooting re sulted from dissatisfaction over re moval of the church from its old lo cation. ^ d^Bpiitp nver the removal had caused bitterness.
