KIWANIS “LADIES’ NIGHT”
WITHOUT DULL MOMENT
Varied Program Moved on Schedule
Time at the Y. M. C. A. Friday
Evening.
Members of the Concord Kiwanis
Club paid homage Friday to
their wives and sweethearts wini one
of the most delightful programs in
the history of the club. Staged as
“Ladies’ Night” the program moved
without a dull moment for an nour
and a half, combining an* excellent
luncheon with a variety of fipe en- (
tertainmept. r
B. E. Harris, chairman of the com
mittee on arrangements, presided, and
managed at all timesto keep the pro
gram a full step ahea’d of its schedule.
Songs, stqjits. reading of communica
tions. two readings, and two solos
combined with the speech of welcome
by James P. Cook offered an evening
of rare pleasure. J
In welcoming the ladies to the 1
meeting Mr. Cook uttered a plea for
a return to social conmtibhs which j
demanded mixed social gatherings,
where for every girl there is a swain
and for'every man a dame. “When
I first came to Concord,” he said, ‘‘the
hostess arranged her lists of guest 6
and designated the couples. After
a few yegrs the women began, to or-1
ganize cluba and other social struc
tures until The number has groWn to
such proportions that I challenge any
one here to name them all in Concord.
I am glad to see this mixed audience,
for we are always blessed to be in
the presence of the ladies.”
In course of his address Mr.
Cook read what was purported to be
a telegram from President Coolidge
in which the chief executive expressed
regret that he could not attend the
meeting. “Failure of Bob Riden
hour to return my shirt makes it im
possible for me to attend,” the mes
sage read, and in another sentence the
President declared his intention of
/ coming soon to Concord to discuss
with A. B. Palmer the liquor question
and'to secure from }laypr C. H. Bar
rier suggestions to to how a street
railway should be operated.
As bis (Hosing thought Mr. Cook
praised the ideals of Kiwanis. com
mended the members of the loeai club
for their energetic work in civic mat
ters afid extended a wholesome wel
come to the ladies.
A solo by Mrs. H. G. Gibson, with
piano accompaniment by Mrs J. Les
lie Ccrrell, was the rext fpature, the
singer graciously Responding with an
encore.
.Joe Pike and Fred M. Youngblood
furnished the entertainment for the
next ten minutes. There has been
some question as to the biggest eater
in the club, it was pointed out by
Chairman Harris, and as the honor
lies-between these two, it was decided
to let them decide which was the best
feeder. Each was blindfolded and giv
en a saucer of blackened marshmallows
and told to feed one another. The stunt
provoked much merriment.
Mrs. J. W. Stallings,- Jr., was heard
next in. two excellent readings, the
second in which she used the negro
dialect, being her response to enthu
siastic applause after the first num
ber. ,
Due .to the fact that they failed
to have their music Jonn B. Sherrill
and R. E. Ridenhour, Sr., were unable
to sing the number assigned them.
The sung was entitled: “If Garters
TV ere Worn Around Our Necks How
Long Qur Socks Would Be.” And
JJob was so busy trying to
get President Coolidge's lauidry ready
he did -not have time to practice.
and one man were pre
sented with prizes after an interest
ing drawing contest. The prizes were
giveh by Mayor Barrier, and he point
ed out that all of them were “Cabar
rus raised or made.” I
The names of Mrs. B. E. Harris
Jr., was drawn first and she was
presented with an aluminum kettle.
The otyer prizes were:
Double aluminum boiler to Mrs. R.
M. King.
Bed-ftecked rooster to Mrs. L. T.
Hartsall. Jr.
Doninique hen to Mrs. M. R. Gib
son.
Guinea to Mrs. Stanton Nortbrup.
Guinea to Mrs. Hinton McLeod.
Quart 4>f kraut to Miss Margie Mc-
Eachern.
Only one prize was offered to the
men and this was drawn by Prof.
< Hinton McLeod. It was a quart of
red-tinged liquid, of the rye in color
but of the vinegar in smell.
—Miniature boxes of Huyler’s were
given to the ladies as souvenirs.
The excellent luncheon was served
under the direction of Mrs. W. A.
Foil and Mrs. L. E. Roger. *
The Mummy Song. “It’s a Hard
Thing to Beat, ’ and the Kiwanis
luncheon song were the ensemble mu
sical numbers, the latter being rend
ered as the note of dismissal.

The orthopaedic .9lini.es conducted in

“We are beginning to realize that

said further, “and Dr. flyers has beep
very successful in his clinics in the
county For k lorig time it was al
most impossible £q jKet-parents to send
their crippled children to a clinic or
to a hospital- This was due to the
fact that it has been witfun compara

1 Dr. Buchanan considers the work of
tije orthopaedic clipic so vital and
necessary that recently he asked the
county commissioners to make a
monthly appropriation for a clinic.
The request wes granted and I>r.
Myers was engaged. It is under
stood that the Charlotte surgeon
comes for actual expenses.
. The next clinic will be held to
morrow afternoon at the health offices
and all persons were examined

THE USED CAB
The JFord Plan Is to Guarantee In
dividually Each Car Sold.
Even mofe authentic than the first
robin as a herald of coming spring,
is the start of activity in the used
car market. On used car lots and
in dealers’ garages a!* over the coun
try, prospective owners are inspecting
thousands of Cars which will be seeh
this summer on highways and boule
vards.
Used car buying, however, is on a
new basis. The old order of bargain
ing is gone, for buyers have learned
that the concern whose reputation is
staked upon the kind of service it
renders the is the most re
liable place to buy the “unused mile
age” represented ip a used motor car.
Interesting in that connection Is
the first anniversary of the Ford guar
anteed used car plan, which has no*
only raided to a new height pub!
confidence in used Ford cars, but due
to the fact that approximately half
the cars in use are Fords; has gone a
I long way to stabilizing this phase of
the automobile' industry. The plan
> ’ is made simple and positive in op
> eration by the fact that each car is
guaranteed individually by one who
■ is in the best position to know its
| possibilities— thq Ford dealer.
1 By virtue of the fact that every
1 community has its authorized Ford
s service, the local dealer maintains
. personal qpntact with practically all
» the cars bandied through this agency,
r, When the car is eventually turned
l in. he frequently knows just about
> how far it has been driven and the
r kind of driving tp which it has been
j subjected If the car nCeds recon
ditioning when turned in, the dealer
- j is in a position to give it the needed
? mechanical attention at the .lowest
. possible cost and when ready for serv
- ice. can definitely determine the
. amount of mileage it should deliver,
, the price depending entirely ppon thip
j unused transportation.
Public acceptancp of the Ford used

offices in Detroit.

of the work of the Knights of Pythias,
paying fine tribute to/the ideals and

an enthusiastic encore. Sam Good
man next sang two numbers which
delighted those present.

ed by Mrs. Pink Deal and Misses
Blanche and Lillian Stewart, Nell
Price and Helen Dayvpult^

BOOK CLUB MEMBERS
ENTERTAIN HUSBANDS
Delightful Social Event Thursday Eve
mi* a* Mrs. W. M Linker’s Home.
A delightful social event of Thu?s
4ay evening was a buffet supper which
was given at the lovely home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. M. Linker by the mem
bers of the Friday Afternoon Book
Club in honor of their husbands. An
elaborate and delicious supper was
served in buffet ‘style.
Just after the first course, Mrs. J.
F.- Dayvault, who was the graceful
toastmistress of the occasion called
on Mrs. Frank Armfield, Who gave a
witty toast, “To the Husbands.” The
response (£as made by H. S. Williams 1
in a bright and appropriate speech.
Little Frances Robertson, of Char
lotte sang several catchy songs with
accompaniment on the ukelele, and
then later, gave a very skillful exhi
bition Qf the Chfifleston. After the
completion of the supper, Mrs. H. S.
Williams gave a reading, a, parady on
Kipling’s “If’, Which made quite a
hit. Then Mrs. J. G. Parks gave a
delightful reading called “Me and
Mary.” which was much enjoyed.
A little pne-aqt play entitled “Wom
en Will Talk,” was then presented by
Mesdam.es Williams, Cyaven, Blanks,
Dayvault, Youngblood, Niblqek, Davis
and Goodman. This was well rendered
and created great amusement for the
audience. Good impromptu speeches
Were made by Mrs. Lillie Blanks
and Messrs. Niblock, Blanks and Arm
field.
The guests following: Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Youngblood, Dr. and
Mrs. P. R. MacFadyen, Mr. arid Mrs.
Archie Goodman, «Mr. and Mrs. F. C.
Niblock, Mr. and Mrs. J, G. Parks,
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Dr.
and Mrs. J. Y. Davis, Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Dayvault, Mr. and Mrs. H. $.
WUliams, Mi. and Mrs. B. R. Craven,
Mr. and Mite. Frank Armfi.eld, Mrs-
Lillie Blanks, Francis Robertson and
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Linker.
After a peep into the nursery where
the six beautiful little Linkers were
sleephig the sleep of innocence, the
guests reluctantly saM “good-night”
to their charming host and hostess.
Mrs. Armfield’s toawi follows:
Ladies of the Friday Afternoon' Book
Club—and husbands!
“You would scarce expect one of my
age
To speak in public on, the stage.”
I do not understand why I war
chosen for the important task of giv
ing a toast to the husbands upon this
1 interesting occasion. There’s Mrs.
Williams. I feel sure that she was
born making a speech. And there’s
Mrs. Dayvault. Anybody Cun look
at Jim Dayvault and see that that;
* man has been talked nearly to death.'
■ And there’s Mrs. Linker. She talks
so much sometimes I am afraid that
she will be like that man in mythology
■ who jjust talked and ta'« k! till lid
l dwindled away and there was nothing
‘ left of him but his voice.
| The only speech of importance that
i ever made in a crowd was mrde
. long years ago, WXI9U the preacher
, said: “Do you take this man ?’ I
, glibly said: “I do,” I have not
recovered from the consequences of
. that speech to this day. That may
j be the reason I am shy about speak
s ing in public.
1 As for the party of the second part
. I do not recall that he uttered a
1 word. Although he is a speaker by
t profession, his tongue clove to the
i roof of h : s moutb. Yet be suffered
1 the same consequences that I did. But
- he is a pretty god sport. Apd he has
r told me in confidence that that verse
1 of Scripture which * has been the
t greatest consolation to him in all
- these long years is that verse which
; says: “Grin and bear it.”
’ A long time ago iny grandmother.
5 who was a woman of fine common
sense, said to me one ffhy very ear
* nestly: “Every girl ought to get rilar
' ried.” I said: “But Grandma, sup
‘ pose that she gets a bad husband?”
Then my grand-mother replied: “Don’t
you know, child, that a bad husband
is better than no husband at all?”
< Those words made a profound im
pression on itoy mind. I think that
■ they were the cause of my marriage.
7 I have never found any other good and
sufficient reason for it. And as I
■ look around at this bunch of hus
' bands assembled here J cannot see
l any good and -sufficient' reason why
> fbese other ladies took the same step.
* However, we are all married and
we can learn much from qur'hus
' bands. First of all, punctuality. I ;
l have never spen anybody as punctual
! as a husband, especially qt mpaMirqe. ;
’ Qne of these days when the cook bjas
' gone “glifnmpring iimoqg the dreajhs
of things that were,” when confusion
: reigns' upstairs and downstairs and
1 in milady's chamber, ain’t if a grand
> y and glorious feeling to see the manly
; toprn of Friend Husband looming up
: the front walk about 11:30. That is
[ running pun&ualiiy into the ground.
As j close my rambling, foolish re
’ marks I can leave no better words
! with you than these of the immortal
1 Shakespeare:
; “Thy husband is thy lord, thy life,
thy keeper,
Thy bead, thy sovereign, one that
cares for thee,
\ And for thy maintenance commits his
body
To powerful'labor, both by* sea and
land;
To watch the night in storms, the day
in cold,
Whilst thou stayest warm at home,
secure and safe.”
As we wives pilot our boats over
the sea of matrimony we should toss,
•an occasional bouquet to tbe stoker
down in the hold, 'who feeds the fur
nace and keeps the good jab>P going.
And so I ask you to join me tonight
in a toast (o the health of our hus
bands—our best friends, our interest
ing companions and our wonderful
lovers!
