MRS. BANNING SPEAKS
Our distinguished author, and
lecturer, Mrs. Margaret Culkin
Banning, spoke to a large audience
r^TSfhe Lanier cluh Thursday. Her
^p»ject was “South America.”
The speaker showed how false
have been some our our ideas of
South Americans, their history and
culture; and also revealed why
they had no great liking or re
spect for us, due in part to their
thinking of us in terms of our
Hollywood film interpreters. She
expressed the heartening convic
tion that no South American coun
try is really pro-German, although
they are fully conscious of the
German effort to undermine the
country. By far the majority of
the states are democratic in
spirit, and fundamentally striving
for the same great ends tnat we
are. Our future unity and co
operation depend largely upon us
and there is a vital and immediate
need for it in the world conflict
jSvw involving us all. This unity
^}|st be based on the idea that we
need each other, and that what
ever our differences we are hu
manly speaking very much alike.
We are striving alike for more
fair and just economic relations;
for better living conditions among
all classes of people; from great
er educatonal opportunities — in
short for a free world.
Following the address the club
welcomed its friends, and a de
lightful tea was served by Mrs.
3. B. Turck and Mrs. Schuyler
Hamilton, hostesses for the meet
ing. All club members and their
friends rejoiced over the great im
provement's and Mrs. Dexter said
there were more surprises to be
announced later.—Contributed.
COMMUNICATIONS
To the People of Tryon:
To correct any false impres
sions, and to clarify my position
in the present wrangle concern
ing the appointment of a post
master for Tryon, I wish to make
the following statement:
I have no political connections
with any clique or clan, either
Democratic or Republican. I was
born and reared in a Republican
family, of which fact I am not
ashamed. For the past 14 years
I have been voting for the men I
thought best fitted for the position
they were running for, and for my
personal friends regardless of
what party name headed the tick
et on which their names appeared
I have made few statements to
anyone as to whom I was support
ing. Often my wife did not know
how my ballot was marked. This
was done because I had no poli
ticai aiimiuoiis, anu nave nune
now. In as mvtfch as the appoint
ment of the postmaster to carry
on pending the -election of a Con
gressman for the changed district
is only temporary, and I have
the number one position on the
clerk’s roster, and have given the
best I had to the service during my
19 vears in the Tryon office,
carrying- the burden of the post
master for a good part of the past
18 months, I naturally felt it
was the fair thing that I- should
receive the salary of the post
master for a few months after
doing the work for so long on a
clerk’s pay. If the people of Try
on feel what has happened is just
reward for the service I have tried
to give them, then I graciously
bow to their wishes.
