This has nothing to do with the Ohio city but is an organization formed in 1783 by officers of the American revolutionary army.

Seventeen members were present and quotations and curlent events were given. Mrs. Leota Beery was] program leader, using as her topic, ] “Religious Drama." z She began by saying that “Long before the birth of Christ the theater has its origin. The theater, human and divine, wherever and , whenever humans have progressed beyond the mere struggle for physi- ( cal existence, to gods and recrea- j tion and self expression, there have been theaters in some sense; an inevitable place for acting, dancing, dialogue and drama in the ordered scheme of life. "In the beginning all plays, dra-1 ma and acting, were done by actors . out in the open where all could see, I quite a contrast to our modern •heaters. When seeing great plays, it is the acting that makes it more human, more real, and more lifelike The era of the greatest acting came in the eighteenth century.” She mentioned several great pageants with song, mystery and passion. The electric lights and the march of civilization have changed the* theater according to each , age. The beauty of the drama has almost disappeared. The time is, ripe and a new spirit is emerging in our western theaters. A brief business meeting was conducted by the president. The election offficers was held and resuited in the reelection of all the old oficers tor another year. Lovely refreshments were served t>y the hostess, assisted by h ® r da ' ,g^® r ’ Mrg . Gerald Smith. Little toally ( Smith entertained with a readin ®' The next meeting will he held with Mrs. J. M.

FRANKFURTER IS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) , furter has been termed "the most I influential single individual in the United States.” Frankfurter is the third associate , supreme court justice named by I President Roosevelt. The other two ‘ appointees were Stanley F. Reed and Hugo L. Black. Frankfurter will not be able to assume his place on the supreme court until he is confinmed. His appointment will have no effect on the conservative-liberal division of the court since he replaces Cardozo. Presumably, he will join justices Imuis D. Brandeis and Har’an F. Stone as the nucleus of court liberals. With the two Roosevelt appointtees —Black and Reed this | group will comprise a libera majority on the court of at least five. Chief justice Charles Evans Hughes and associate justice Owen j. Roberts, have combined their votes with this liberal bloc on key New Deal isues before ike court m the last two years. Their general adhearance to liberal principles limites the consistent conservatives to justices James C. Mcßeynolds and I Pierce Butler, survivors of the once dominant conservative majority. o— —— fn < Fowl*

Relief Message Washington, Jan. 5. — (U.P) — President Roosevelt today asked congress for an immediate $875,000,000 appropriation to provide WPA jobs for between 3.000,000 and 3,700,000 persons until June 30, the end of the 1939 fiscal year. He asked for Tlib'se funds in a I special relief message, while in I his regular budget message, also submitted today, he projected a ' relief and recovery program of $2,266,165,000 for the new fiscal year beginning in July. Taking cognizance of growing congressional criticism of administration of the works progress administration, he called for statutory I restrictions against improper political practices in relief. But he pleaded against return of relief administration to local authorities mid against imposition of restriction that might infringe upon political rights of relief recipients. "No one wishes more sincerely than I do that the program for assisting unemployed workers 1 shall be completely free from politI ical manipulation,” Mr. Roosevelt ! said in his special message. “How- ] ever, any one who that this result can be achieved by I turning the administration of a I work program over to local boards I is either insincere or is ignorant of the realities of local American politics.” *TSe recommendation for $875,000,006 for WPA for the five months from February to June, in- ] elusive, was materially above previous predictions of the cost of financing the relief program for the balance of the fiscal year. The $875,000,000 deficiency api propriatlon. Mr. Roosevelt said, i will supplement the $1,425,000,000 ! provided by the last congress to I meet relief costs for the first eight ] months of this fiscal year. The : original appropriation virtually is I exhausted, he said, and is suffi- ! cient hardly to meet needs through January, the seventh month of this fiscal year. o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
