And Mrs. William O'Neil, president, assert- ed that the record of this society’s in- \itial year of existence would be bet- tered during the next year. “Get acquainted and enjoy life bet- iter!” is the slogan of the club, which was organized last January. Sensing the need of a lodge whereby unac- quainted and lonesome folks, especial- ly newcomers in the city, might “have a good time,” George E. Clementson brought about the organization of the club. At the present time the society has 450 members. They come from every section of the city for the regular Sat- urday night socials and dances, said Clementson. He isa director. 1 The club has its own hall. An an- nual membership fee of fifty cents frnishes fnds to finance what Cle- mentson calls “the center of happy acquaintances and joyful gatherings.” All of the members, who become ac quainted through the club and mar-' ried during the first year, were “mid- dle-aged” persons, according to Cle- imentson. The ‘length of the court-| ships’ ranged from eight weeks to eight months. Following such wed- |ding the club congregated and gave |the newly married members recep- Clementson believe: great work is being cone in bringing this type of citizen together. “Many of those folks who have married were old maids, ‘old bachelors, widows and widowers,” said Clementson, “and they might never have been united and made hap- | py had it not been for or club.” President Mrs. O’Neil is now plan- ning to start a correspondence depart- "! ment. in the club, whereby members who move to other cities having simi- ilar organizations may De introduced ‘and vice versa. : 28 MILLION IN ered from the liner Laurentic, whic was. sunk in January, 1917, off the) north coast of ireland by a German) | submarine. | Operations have been suspended fo, ! |the winter, but they will be resume? lagain in the spring when an effort wili {be made to recover the remainins | $10,000,000 to $15,000,009 worth of bul- lion which is said to be still at the) bottom of the sea. Great difficulties have been encoun- itered by the ‘Salvage crew, for after {three years pounding by the Atlantic swells the liner has been transformed into a heap ‘of twisted debris. Her decks, which settled down on the sea | bottom, cover an area of several hun dreds of feet, The wreck was prac- tically covered with gravel and silt, | as it is in a position where it receives the full force of the“Atlantic gales. This obstruction had to be. removed, ‘as far as possible, by powerful pumps placed in position by the divers, as the gold was at the bottom of the huge ; mass of wreckage. i | Returned Home. al H. L.
