INN MEN VERSATILE ACCORDING TO HORNE, Some of the trials and tribulations ' of being a hotel manager were re- | lated to Kiwanians, following their j luncheon meeting Wednesday at the j F’lnehurst Country Club, by G.

"For .some rsason. there seems to be an awful fascination about hotel bathrooms," Mr. Horne said, “and I appeal to you that if you are think ing about cutting your throat, please slay in your own home to do it. By doing it in a hotel bathroom, you give the hotel a bad name, causing a lot of worry and make an awful mess.” Visitors at the club meeting were Emmett Golden, now of Fayetteville, and Jimmy Hobbs of Southern Pines.

Mr. Barr challenged. "!f not. then let's slop discussing wh.il to do and ,si‘t about doing the thiivj which has lu-en proposed." Describing Federal Union a ! new government to which all peo ples within the union art- responsi ble. not as a league of indi*pi’n(l( nf governments. Mr. Barr advocated .‘^iich a federation as th(' best of I three alternatives facing free peo- I pie todax’.

This is not the way I person ally would choose," the speaker said Mr, Barr explained Fi-deral Union as the establishment of a federation of those slates which at present havo governments of the people into a new. over-all government, with the following main points: A united armed force of all the federated states under the disposal of the central govi'rnment. Elimination of tariff boundaries within the Federation so that trade would be free, similar to that be tween the United States.
