NEW CASTLE, NEWS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1939. FIVE Banquet Event Sunday Evening Liquor Dealers And Families Gather At The Castleton For CONTROL BOARD OFFICIALS SPEAK to fight. That is really what is back of his policy; that is really what is I in his head and in the heads of nLs amba.ssadors and advisers. Neither he nor they think ttiey to say so bluntly. Mast of them feel it necessary to deny he, by indirection, has denied it.

But it is there just the same and every pfksted person knows it. Moreover, it is the big reality in the whole situation. It is the one basic fact that makes the Roasevelt me.ssages. and action logical and sound. Liquor dealers cf Lawrence county, their families and friends gathered in The Castleton hotel Sunday night.

February 5, for the first annual banquet of the Lawrence County Retai! Liquor a.ssocia- tion. Over 500 were present, the crowd filling the ballroom and grnl room. Dinner was at 7:15. Following it the program opened with President Henry Dupuy acting ns the general chairman of the evening. In his opening remarks he w'elcomed the guests that the banquet would be an annual affair and prophesied that it would develop into an annual occasion of worth.

He then introduced Clark H. Buell as the toastmaster of the evening. Two iiqucr control board officials, Carl Newell of Harrisburg and E. Kneeland of Erie, were present and spoke, Newell upon the enforcement of the liquor laws and Kneeland upon the need of cooperation among the dealers. William V.

Foglia, president, and Harry Schwartz, of the Pennsylvania Federation cf Liquor Dealers, were present and spoke upon the work of the association. Local speakers who were introduced and spoke but briefly w-cre As- Carmi G. Preston and Charles B. Mayne. State William J.

Erce, was introduced and acknowledged the introduction. Paul Donnelly of Sharon, a former Castle man, was the soloist of the evening. IT is unfortunate that politiCvS seems to make it impractical openly to lake this stand, but it is untrue to say ttiat the course is making war more probable, and it is untrue to that he Is using the foreign cri.sis to divert attention I from the bogging down of his do; mestic policies and the lo.ss of con- I trol over Congress. That is sense. His position has been and sensible.

It Is in the interest of peace and in the interest of the country, but it is disheartening to those who agree with him on this to read of such petty press- conference demonstrations as occurred on Friday, and to note certain indications of retreating from a great chance for real leadership.

TO sum up, Mr. Roosevelt by his press-conference outburst neither improved his pasition nor promoted his cause. It would be fine to have him freeing himself alike from political fears and personal animus, tell the people in the plaine.st possible language that the way to promote peace and avoid war Is to aid, so far as we can. our inevitable allies (in case of and become so strong that no nation think of forcing them The Morning AfterTiking Carters Little Liver nils CLUB MEETS Members of the Castle wood Six, met one evening recently at the home of Miss Dorothy Houk of the Castle road.

Open Evenings. (Continued From Fago One) the appointment to the cabinet and to hear speakers and singers give their version of it. Speakers included Judge W. Walter Braham, Secretary of Welfare E. Arthur Sweeny, Secretary of Labor and Industry Lewis G.

Hines. It was an evening of unusual things. The service of the dinner was in itself an achievement which brought the commendation of the crowd and should make the of the Cathedral Chapter 440 of the Order of Eastern Star mighty proud of themselves. They served the huge throng with a minimum of delay, they gave each guest generous helpings and the food was as well prepared as though it was a family dinner or the work of a professional chef. Quickly and easily the women served and the marvel of it was that they seemed to be unaware of the fact that they were serving such a throng.

Under the capable direction of Mrs. John H. Templeton, nearly 300 women did the work unusually well Decorations Attractive For the dinner the decoration committee under the direction of Miss Martha Bigley had transformed the huge rooms into chambers of beauty. Down each table was stretched a series df paper streamers, each decorated tiny red hearts. White candies completed the table decoration.

For the speakers table the women outdid themselves. Baskets of deep red roses gave the table vivid color with other lighter hued flowers accentuating the beauty red roses. Plaster of paris elephants symbolized the party to which Captain belonged, the Republican, and masking the front of the table were fronds of ferns and palms, with a strip of greenery running the length of the outside edge of the table. Overhead airplanes were suspended, a reminder of the days when Captain Rowland flew the skies of France in pursuit of enemy planes. An American flag and a state flag completed the decorations.

Acrass the room from the table three huge photographs, each about five feet high, one of Governor James, one U. S. Senator James J. Davis, and in the middle one of Captain Rowland. Pep Singing As Captain and Mrs.

Rowland were escorted to the table by General Chairman Ivor V. Davis the crowd rose and sang A Jolly Good After a verse of America, directed by the song leader, Emrys Davis, and the Invocation by Rev. John J. Mcllvaine, the broke out in As the singing continued, four girls, Miss Betty McConaghy, Jane Davis, Ruth McNab and Dorothy Sonneborn carried a huge birthday cake down the aisle to Captain Rowland and presented it to him. A basket of flowers was presented to Mrs.

from the Elks, another from the American Legion and still another from the Clarion county Republican commlt- tee. Judy Sypher accompanied the pep singing. The Program The dinner over and another session of pep songs and orchestra music, General Chairman Ivor V. Davis took charge and in a few remarks told the purpose of the dinner. He then introduced the toastmaster, Judge Thomas W.

Dickey. Judge Dickey has been handing out wisecracks from the dinner table for many more years than he has been handing sentences from the bench, and he never was in better form. It was an occasion that inspires your true after dinner veteran and the judge rose to the occasion. Mrs. James A.

Hugh was presented for the first number of the evening and sang solos. A contralto whose artistry is pleasing, i Mrs. Rugh put her song over her usual skill. She was accompanied by Mrs. Paul A.

Welsh. The first speaker was to have been State Chairman James F. Torrance but due to an all day conference with Governor James it was impossible for him to be present. Judge W. Walter Braham who was scheduled to speak further along in the program introduced as the first speaker.

Rowland has been drafted by the said Judge Braham. this case it was the job seeking the man instead of the man seeking the job. He came to us here in Castle In 1928 almast a complete Tonight 1500 people gathere here to pay him For 15 minutes Judge Braham paid his respects in a scholarly way nor did he once commit the all too common error of testimonial speakers, that of using saccharinal phrases. In closing he gave his listeners a line of thought that might w'ell be remembered. It was this, only enemies Captain has to fear are his many iriends.

Let us not crucify him upon the cross of friendship. A Musical Nomination George Anthony, well known tenor was the next on the program and he sang a parody to a current popular number. the parody he prophesied that some day would sit in the chair. From the applause, the nomination was unanimous. As a substitute for State Chairman James F.

Torrance Secretary of Welfare E. Arthur Sweeny introduced and he laughingly referred to himself as Lawrence number one pinch hitter. Despite the suddeness of his being called he did a workman like job of speaking and paid tribute to Captain Rowland for his work in the recent campaign and for his early promise of efficency as a cabinet officer. Touching upon the matter of politics lightly, Mr. Sweeny said that Governor James was about ready to make the expected changes in the state government personnel said of wholesale changes such as the Democrats made the changes will be made moderately and John F.

Casey of Pittsburgh prominent industrialist in whose employ Captain has been for many years spoke briefly and said that hi.s ow'n knowledge of Captain ability he knew Governor James had made no mistake. Secretary of Labor and In- du.stry G. Hines followed Casey and paid his tribute to Captain Rowland. In his remarks he expressed the confidence of labor and capital getting together In Pennsylvania in an honest, intelligent fashion to the end that both might prosper. George Anthony and Harry Evans then sang a male duet with Edwin Lewis accompanying.

Mr. Lewis also accompanied Mr. Anthony in his solo number. Major Guy J. Wadllnger was introduced and presented Captain Rowland with a handsome watch.

In his brief presentation speech Major Wadlinger paid Captain Rowland a tribute. In responding to the presentation Captain Rowland expressed his genuine appreciation of the testimonial and the spirit back of it. He said he hoped that in his term as Secretary of Property and he would fulfill the expectations of his friends. Rev. E.

R. Szelong pronounced the benediction. An exact duplicate of the watch presented to Secretary Rowland can be seen in the window at the Mather jewelry store on Washington street. the close of the program a leception line formed and Captain and Mrs. shook hands hundreds.

A few minutes later the committee chairmen had Mrs. Rowland taken to the reception room on the second floor and there John W. Miller presented her a wrrlst watch as a token of the esteem of the people who had honored her husband. It was a night of surprises and no doubt thrills for the Rowland family. In describing it one might be pardoned for using superlatives but perhaps Miss Natalie, the ten year old daughter of Captain and Mrs.

expressed the thing in lauguage concise and expressive. She said was And that description is good enough for us. How many visitors in the audience from other cities and counties is a gue.ss but there were several hundred. Butler County had over 65 pre.sent, Beaver County over 50, and all the other western Pennsylvania counties had delegations in.
