Groups lV Around Ti From the Association of Ameri can Poets to the Zoologists' So ciet,, there are literally thousands of associations, societies and or ganizations on the American scene. There's the Anti - Digit - Dialing League, the Weed Society of America (anti, not pro), the Na tional Sling Shot Association (pro, not anti) an< the Good Outdoor Manners Association. The roster also includes the In. ternational Society of Naturop athic Physicians, the A m e r i c a r, S o c i e t y of Maammalogists, the t Descendants of the C o o n i a l Clergy, even an International Con catenated Order of Hoo Hoo (for lumbermen). Trade organizations range from the American Hotel and M o t e l Association to the Paper Napkin Association: the natural sponge has its Institute and the dried fig its Advisory Board. Godmothers have a L e a g u e, grandmothers a Federation, and women who have christened ships a Society ! There are national or ganizations for nudists, pipe smok ers, puzzle fans and soap sculp tors. And there's a Blizzard Club, formed in 1940, for those who wax nostalgic about the great storm of '88! There's even a very fine V association for associations: The American Society of Association Executives. In short, no matter who you are 1 or where your interests lie, some where there's a group for you to join. An estimated 100 million A m e r ic a n s belong to leagues. f councils, societies and clubs; fra ternal orders alone number some 20 million initiates. The trend is hi a r d 1 y new: Athenian men belonged to lodges in Plato's day, and both the Ma- I sons and the Odd Fellows began as workmen's guilds in medieval Europe. t There Are Unusual Associations During the American Revolu tion, a British military lodge lost its Masonic regalia in battle; Washington, himself a loyal Ma son, returned it with a guard of honor. James J. Davis reportedly 1 refused to become P r e s i d e n t Harding's Secretary of Labor till he was assured that his Cabinet U duties would not interfere with his work as a Moose! When Admiral Perry reached the North Pole, he hoisted the American flag - and, right below it, the standard of Delta Kappa Epsilon. But Henry David Thoreau sang the praises of solitude and went off into the woods by himself at every opportunity. A century after his death, lhe too has an associa tion: the Thoreau Society. menm bership about 600. As Frenchman Alexis de Toe queville wrote, more than 120 years ago, "The Americans of all ages, all conditions and all dis positions constantly form associa tions . . . Wherever at the head of some new undertaking you see the governlment of France or a man of rank in England, in the United States you will be sure to find an association. Organizations influence the life of the nation to an even greater degree than most people realize. The Eagles, for example, were prominent in the battle for Social This is weak-s deodort ... it's ii MA New Man-Power ] job. Gives you the power a man needs 8tops odor.

Research con lucted by the American Hotel and Viotel Association has resulted in zreater comfort and better serv ce not only fhr hotel patrons, but 'or all American consumers as vell. In times of emergency, the \merican Legion functions as an lrm of the Red Cross. The Lions re particularly active in helping he blind, the Cedars of Lebanon ight muscular dystrophy, and umerous other service organiza ions have made a particular harity their own. Some organizations thrive on ecrecy: the Seven Society of the J n i v e r s i t y of Virginia, for xample, is so hush-hush about its oster that only after death is a ian's meniber ah i p revealed. Ithers come out into the open in arades that may last as long as even hours: A Shriner march, for xample, may involve 100 bands nd 25,000 Nobles plus assorted nimals. The Veterans Also Organize Americans have been forming eterans' organizations ever since 783, when some of George Wash igton's officers formed the Sons f the Cincinnati; hardly a conflict as been overlooked. You may hiink the Polaf Bear Association s a group of people who like to wini in icy lakes. It isn't. It was uunded by veteran s of the rchangel Expendition to North .ussia in 1918 - the only Ameri in force ever to engage in formal arfare with Russia.

Moses is the owner and manager of an independent insurance and real estate agency. lie has a promising voting liscensed realtor and mem her of the Sumter Board of Real tors who plans to work for him upon graduation - his son, Perry. With a better than "B" average for four years in accounting, pre vious experience in the field and the intention of doing informal graduate-type work to obtain cer 'ificat.ion as a Certified Property Underwriter, this young man is well equipped for his vocation. The fraternity means a lot to Perry. He calls it a "very valuable part of a man's college career." A person who takes an active inter. est in his fraternity graduates a much broader person. The brother hood which the fraternities stress is an intangible, but invaluable, ')art of a young man's college life. The brothers grow together; they help each other by looking at each other-noting good and bad points. The "give and take" of life is illustrated from day to day in the lealings of fraternity brothers. No young college student is all business, and this is the case with Perry. lie enjoys parties (which he usually attends with the ('hi Omega to whom he is pinned, Hon nie Rosen ), and it takes a good reason for him to miss one. lie akes advantage of the excellent >pportunities afforded by South I arolina to hunt and fish when 9ver he can.
