Live Man Enjoys Hearing Sermon At Own “Funeral” Octogenarian Holds Rites for Self on Birthday to Hear Appraisal. B the Associated Press. BENTON, I, August 31.—Stephen R. Patton, 80, went to his own “funeral” yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it. Patton, who recently conceived -the idea that it would be better to have his funeral sermon preached while he was able to hear it rather than wait un:il it was too late, listened to Rev. John B. Maulding deal impartially with his life | and works. “I am told that our good bro(,her{ Patton in his early days was a very wicked man and lived a very wicked life,” the rastor said. “But the begin- ning of ». impelling conviction of his responsibility to God resulted in his later conversion and his subsequent faith, which has been his support and anchor down unto this day.” He added that the “late departed” could now face eternity with serenity because “the grace of regeneration re- moves the terror of death.” ‘The occasion of the funeral was Pat- ton’s birthday anniversary, and the services, attended by relatives and friends, were conducted at his home near Valier. Three other ministers as- sisted Rev. Mr. Maulding. Many flowers were sent, and Patton said that when he does die he doesn't wany any more. Neither does he want another funeral sermon. e TURNS 10 LI Way Cleared for Legislature Tonight, With Majority Backing Roosevelt. By the Associated Press ' ALBANY, N. Y, August 31.—Unem- ployment relief legislation had the| right+ of way as the members of the New York Legislature returned to the Capitol today for tonight's opening of the second week of the extraordinary session, The leaders planned to mark time until the middle of the week, consider- ing in the interim the program recom- mended to them by the Democratic Governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, call- ing for the expenditure of $20,000.000 in publie works to give employment to many thousands of the State's unem- ployed, the money to be raised thmulhl 8 50 per cent increase in the personal income tax. In the meantime the lead- | ers of the Republican majority in the | Senate and Assembly were considering | the introduction of measures of their| own. In general they will support the | Roosevelt proposals, the chief difference | of opinion between the Governor and | the majority members having te do with the administration of the relief fund. The Governor proposed a commission | of three prominent citizens, to be named | by him and to serve without pay, tol administer the fund. Republican legis- | lative leaders believe it can be handled through the existing State welfare or- fare officers. The plan to raise income | taxes meets with their approval. PASSENGERS PROTEST; SHIP BAGGAGE SEARCH Ransacked Luggage at Savannah. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, August 31.—A protest against customs inspectors in Savan- nah, Ga., who searched the ship there, was signed today by all passengers on the Grace liner Santa Inez and for- warded to the Treasury Department. The liner docked this morning. The raid, passengers said, occurred while all on bpoard except the crews’ watch had gone ashore. Cabins, bag- gage and personal effects were ran- sacked by six inspectors and their con- tents found scattered in disorder when they returned to the ship to sail north. The protest set forth the view that the search was made before the end of the voyage from West Coast South American ports and before the pas- sengers had an opportunity to make customs declarations. The haul of the agents consisted of four pints of liquor, one bottle con- | taining about three drinks, and half a bottle of medicine found in the cabin of Senor Ezequiel Romecin Calderon, a Winthrop Sargent. director of the New York Philharmonic Society Music School, presided at the indignation meeting Grace Line officials said they had recently designated Savannah a_port of call on the New York to South America run of their ships.

It’s pretty hard to start an argument about arithmetic. Quick as a wink and years ago every woman admitted A&P prices were low. So the “Anvil Chorus” tuned up on the QUALITY argument. But they couldn’t beat the fact that “the proof of the pudding is in the eating.” Millions sampled A&P food AND FOUND IT GOOD. So naturally they came back for more. First they admitted the PRICES WERE LOW, then they found that the QUAL. ITY WAS HIGH. We invite you to join the happy throng of A&P customers who daily enjoy these discoveries.
