Seizing upon a marked increase in the flocks of English sparrows as an opportunity, pressure was re- cently brought to bear on the solons at Centerville— (the county seat—eight miles east on the Old Buck- horn Road)—and, as a result, the solons have voted to award a bounty of two cents on all sparrow heads. Already a Sparrow Snaring & Snatching Colony of the Guild has been set up under the leadership of Jack McDonald and Chester R. Davis, F. P., of Chicago. Plans are complete. The colonists will sleep in pup- tents. All heads taken will be put in a kitty and turned in once a week. And a special deputation will hide and watch where the county treasurer throws the heads after the check-up so they may be retrieved, if feasible, and re-bountied. With the sparrow snatchers clicking, the February movement to better conditions under the slogan: “Betterment! Betterment! All Is Tenochrement!” is well under way. And two new key officials have been appointed who will render valuable assistance in setting to martial music the forward steps to be taken in the right direction. The new officers are Frank Rufus Goodell, F.P., of New York City, and William Robert Baker, F.P., of Toronto, Canada. While on duty in the loft of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Jacksonville, Florida, Mr. Goodell discovered the tremendous pos- sibilities for creating discords that lay in strategic ap- plications of wads of chewing gum to certain valve apparatus in the interior of the organ. He was dis- missed by the organist before he could perfect his system, but he saw enough service to win his laurels with the Guild. Mr. Goodell has been named Regional Tone Tamperer, Eastern District. Mr. Baker, on the other hand, pumped in Grace Church in Toronto. During an evening service when the lighting system failed he was compelled to leave the han- dle and hold candles while the organist played. Mr. Baker functions now as Chief Illuminating Engineer of the Guild. During the month of January, the newly-created Road Agency Staff placed q ik wa VEIN * Pump, for the Wind is Fleeting” one of the largest orders, in the history of the organization with Jess Honeycutt, F.P.,, of Bethlehem, Pa., for earmarked tinplate. At the same time the Guild’s Form 7294 Millie { pes) an Pumpers Engineering & Picot-Edging Squad reported fifty-two (52) tatting shuttles in operation as against sixteen (16) shuttles and three (3) crochet needles during a similar period in 1932. That’s growth, and that’s Progress, says Dr. Esterhazy. Other items of interest in January were all of an encouraging nature. Paul Grant, F.P., of Dayton, Ohio, ran his automobile into a ditch and suf- fered a fractured humerus. Ferdinand Armstrong, F.P., of Boston, a candidate for a_ roving beatership, organized a sliphorn contingent. Leland Powers, F.P., and Robert H. Montgomery, F.P., are his assistants in charge of clinical investigations held for the long pull. The Frank G. Miner, who is making arrangements for the Guild’s exhibit of detachable barrel cuffs at the World’s Fair in Chicago, has turned out to be Fred Gordon Miner, F.P. They are very closely related. Henry M. Eaton, F.P., and Reeve Hoover, F.P., of Washington, D. C., are leading a nation-wide movement for popularizing cast-iron decoy ducks, and the movement has already been supported by Herman Fique, F.P., of White Plains, N. Y. W. A. P. John, F.P., of Detroit, recommended, in connection with the foreign debt situation, a strict hands-shoe-coat, shirt and socks-off policy. And silver stars for exceptional devotion to Guild principles and relentless pursuit of Guild ideals in re- verse were awarded to Halle. Sheffield Ray, F.P., of Chicago, Ren H. Rice, F.P., of New York City. So it runs—day in and day out—and your Guild approaches the crucial Spring Equinox buoyantly. Plans for the 67th, 73rd and 89th Annual Meeting, topped by a contra-departmental memo in triplicate from John F. Sinclair, F.P., of New York City, are piling up on the spindle nearest the window. And a quartet under the leadership of John R. Jones, F.P., sometimes known as the London thrush, or linnet, has promised to sing: Dare to be a Daniel. Dare to stand alone, Dare to have a purpose fir-irm, Dare to make it known. If unemployed, write at once for full details regarding the operations of the Sparrow Snaring & Snatching Campaign. There’s gold in them thar bills. Your Sincere Friend -& Well-Wish’r. Alw’ys, (Sgd) Grand Diapason 15
