Carrying on the work from her Laurens county home; hhe obtained sub.Hcriptions from all parts of the na tion to buy Mount Vernon from the Washington estate.

Mr. Alston told of Kagawa’s education in a CHristian school, of his first work, for Christ in the slum districts, and his ardent en thusiasm for his religioit.

Ill II Heatrola will Keep the SNIFFLES ^ OUT OF yOUR HOUSE The first meeting of the Chamber of Commerce for the year 1932, was held Tuesilay evening at the Mary Mu.«grove tea room. Following th«i us ual dinner, an interesting meeting was held with Pre.sident W. H, Sinip- son presiding. At the outset President Simpson stated that with the new year here, it was very impertant that the com munity rally behind its commercial organization to promote the city’s in terests.

This means work arid co operation, the sjH*akers asserted, to gether with red4)rooded optimism and the creating-^r confidence which means that all fear and" uncertainty must be dissipated.

After a general discussion in which the importance of the Chamber of Commerce was emphasized, especially duryng the present trydng time, it was decided to reyluce the dues for 1932 from $20 to $10, payable (juarterly. It was further decided to inaugurate a vigorous campaign the latter part of the month for new mem!l)ers in the hope that there will be a large in crease in the membership. Plans for the drive will be announced later and a special effort made to enlist all bus iness^ and professional men in the city in the organization for the coming year. writing, teaching, and organizing his lab9r parties. 1 Mr. Alston meiijtioned the fact thiat Kagawa has served a prisop sentence for his labor movements, and within five years after his release had-^^the., law which sentenced h(im repealed. “.Although he has sufferetl many hardships at the hands of the Japa nese,” Mr. Alston pointed out, “the Japanese now consider his work their greatest protection against Russian Communism.” . ’ “Kagawa,” said Mr. Al.sjton, “works under two handicaps, tuberculbsis and trachdrria, the latter at times render ing hinv totally blind; but he works for laborer’s unions, the peasant un ion, various religious 8o< ieties, spends much of his time in personal work and puts a great deal of time on writ ing, His literary activity is astound ing.” , Kagavk. refuses to take treavmertt for his eyes and lungs because it will take time from his wcjrk.

He will fight, like t^rVi'indi, without violence, but will never-t'ive up.” Mr. Alston comparwl Kagawa to (Jhandi, but in this comparison he said, “(ihandi and Kagawa are simi lar in many respects, but at a certain stage their Ways part. The thing that makes all the difference, and elevates Kagawa so far above Ghandi, is Christ.” Kiwanis Birthday ‘ Will Be Observed Oohr tht HMtrola Am riM/|i J«n- ti-F/r ' • - . - - - Air Dttct thmt mbtorbt attF ufitiamm hmmt which in oHimmry hmmtmra JoM to whUo —in# tho ohimtm^.
