Local merchants who can look back upon a long series of dollar DINNER MEETING Local Optometrists at Gathering: of Newly Formed With Drs. John Olschewske and Edwin A. BeVier, of this city present, the newly organized Finger Lakes Optometric Society convened at a dinner meeting at the Geneva Country Club last night with representative members of the entire district in attendance. In the course of the business session, at which Milton H.

Harmon, of Geneva, president, presided, it was decided to hold future meetings of the organization on the first Tuesday evening of each month. Lewis A. Tracey. of'Penn Yan, was appointed chairman a committee to draft the constitution and by-laws of the organization and Dr. BeVier was named chairman of the program committee.

days, seasonal sales and other similar events declare that the offerings Friday and Saturday will rank among the most attractive ever presented to induce a. general loosening of the public The foremost' feature of the current sales, with the exception, perhaps, of the unusually attractive prices, is seen in the quality and seasonal style of the merchandise which will spill from shelves and counters when the doors of the business section open for business Friday morning. "Through necessity, if not actually by design," said one merchant today, "we shall be offering in the Dollar Day sales the cream of merchandise which has been drawn from the newest of our stocks. In fact, there is little or no old stock on hand because of the unusual sales volumes recorded during the Holiday season in December." Other merchants have offered the same explanation for the quality and style of materials which they have been seen preparing for Friday and Saturday sales. They assert that the 1934 Christmas season attracted the greatest splurge of buying that has been observed here in the past four years and that fall and winter stocks were therefore virtually exhausted a month or more ago.

Although Winter is still here, Springes just around the comer and the merchants are ready to meet the purchasers' demands for seasonal articles. At the same time, they say, they, arc planning to make the displays and prices so attractive that Friday and Saturday should record a repetition of the remarkable holiday sales past December.

But he was inevitably destined to become a national figure and one that has left a majestic impress upon the history of the world. Steadfast In Beliefs "Following the election of Lincoln as president," said Judge Fitch, "there were many in the South who were unable to comprehend that the freeing of the slaves was unalterably identified with the preservation of the nation. Dark days followed and although bitterly assailed, he remained -steadfast to his beliefs: 7 His death at the hand of an assassin reduced the entire nation-to abject they then realized that the United States had lost. a figure that towered above all the greatest figures in American history." Addressing Mr. Marafioti in conclusion, Judge Fitch commented on the many fine tributes that had been paid the young attorney and the good fortune that has attended' hte rise in his chosen profession.

"We all know, however," said the judge, "that you have well earned the'su honors or you would not be the guest of honor on this occasion." Comment on the'' scholastic achievements of Mr. Marafioti'was offered by Mr. Donovan who as classmate both in high school and at Cornell University, told of the young, attorney's- diligence' in- his studies and his. membership In the Cornell Quarterly. "Mr.

Marafloti's achievements have been a tribute to his ability and; perseverance;" said Mr. "and I firmly believe he is destined to become one of most prominent attorneys in the Introduced Referring to the Sons of Italy of the foremost Italian-American organizations in the country, Mr. Vecchi introtiucwl as one of. ita most active mmten CtmrtoVolpe spoke of the necessity of oneness, based on the teachings of the Bible as opposed to the in foreign countries. "It is essential," Father Nolan said, "that a'man have only one wife to uphold the morals of society.

Cornelius, field representative for the Calkin Kelly directory company of Binghamton, has concluded his work in Canandaigua a force of helpers engaged in collecting necessary data for a new directory. The last directory was published in early 1932, almost three years ago. Economic conditions causing unusual changes in addresses and occupations, limits the effective use of a directory to two years. The combining of families and the many new people who have moved into the city make the information in the old directory questionable in many instances. The new directory will be oil the press and delivered to subscribers in about four weeks.

It will be placed in more than 400 libraries in all parts of the United States, making it available to millions of residents of other cities. The placing ol the directory in libraries is made possible through affiliation with the Association of North American Di- icctory Publishers and membership in the United Typothetae. The new book will contain a classified business section, listing each business and profession; a street guide, designating where each street begins and ends; names of Post Office, County and City officials; churches and their pastors; and an alphabetical list of the residents 01 the city over eighteen years of age with their occupation and place TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY BEAUTIFUL 1935 wall paper from 8c-up.

Holy Name Society Has Resolution in Regard to Country Strife In regard to the Mexican question, members of the newly reorganized Holy Name Society of St. Mary's Church, at the monthly meeting i Monday evening, adopted the follow- ing resolution, which will be submitted to President Roosevelt: "We believe that the Mexican people are fully capable of governing themselves without the intervention of any foreign power. We believe that they are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We sypmathize with them in their efforts to secure these rights, which we enjoy in the fullest sense of the terms. They, also, should enjoy them.

"We maintain that they have been prevented from enjoying them because of the intervention on the part of our government of the United States of America. We assert, without fear of successful contradic- tion, that for at least 20 years our i government has intervened in the affairs of Mexico. We further assert that this intervention has become: more and more pronounced during I the rfiign of the present Ambassador to Mexico, Mr. Josephus Daniels. "We call upon our government to put an end to this intervention, and to permit the Mexican people to settle their own affairs." The Rev.

Francis Harding, assistant rector, spoke briefly on the advantages of belonging to the Society in regard to the service given the Holy Father by members. Thirty new members were enrolled.
