HISTORICAL CLUB MEETS i WITH MRS. HENRY ADLF.R Mrs. Delton Passwater presented a very interesting paper on the I state of Alabama to the seventeen I members of the Historical club as j they met at the homp of Mrs. Henry Adler Wednesday afternoon. After the meeting opened in the j usual manner and roll call was answered with quotations, Mrs. Passwater presented her paper. Alabama is one of the leading states of the south. It has an area of 51,609 square miles. It is the 28th state in size. The first settlers of Alabama were the Cocatau, Chickasaw and Creek Indians. This land formerly belonged to the British but was ceded to the United States In 1783 following the American revolution. Natural geography divides Ala- | bama into definite sections, where | people, producte and customs have i a flavor all of their own. A mild climate, a long growing season and a rich soil make Alabama an important farming state. It is one of the few states with over 200,000 farms. Farmers raise huge amounts of cotton, soybeans, peanuts, oats and hay. They grow pecans, apples, peaches, strawberries, watermelons, canteloupes, and all kinds of early vegetables which are shipped to northern markets. Gold iron and coal are mined in Alabama. The largest coal fields cover 3,000 square miles. Many large industries are located there. Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery are the leading cities. Mrs. Artie Cryder was welcomed as a new member to the club. The

Daylight Time Ends Over Nation Sunday I By United Press International Most Americans will fall heir to 60 minutes of time this weekend when clocks get their tradi-; tlona! autumn back-pushing. Daylight time ends throughout I the nation and everybody will be! back on standard time, where j they were last spring when the clocks were advanced an hour. Some areas remained on standard time all summer and others | returned* to standard time a ! month ago.-But the majority of! the heavily populated sections will.; be on daylight time until 2 a.m. local time Sunday. ' Nobody knows how many clocks and watches will get pushed back ; an hour, hut* an, official of the j Elgin Watch Co,. Elgin. 11,. said ! half a billion might be a good! estimate.

Thanks Berne Area } I 1 ■' For Blood Donation A letter of appreciation from Dr Harry C. Harvey, M. D., di--1 rector of the regional blood center, of which Adams county is a ! part, was received today thanking the Berne area people for * their wonderful participation in * the blood collection last Monday. , Included in the 133 persons who frame in to give blood were 31 first-time donors, 23.3% of the group. This is a very good per- ! rentage, and was high because | 82.6%, or 100, were replacement I givers. . _ Two of the bottles were collect- ! ed for directed donations, and 10 * persons were deferred for medi- ! cal reasons. Os those taking part, 103, or * 83.7%, were men, and 20, or il6 3%, were women. Often the percentage of women is much hi"her. This was larger than all recent collections at Berne, exceot for Inst March, when the collection went well over the quota.
