Joseph A. Fortier of Bouses Point, who was assistant treasury attache 'at the American embassy in Paris, will be the speaker Thursday noon at the weekly Kiwanis lunche'on. Fresh'-from scenes which beggar de- scription, Mr. Fortier comes with a message which cannot help but open the- eyes of his hearers to the hor- 'rors of modern warfare. Himself a World War veteran, Mr. Fortier is not a stranger to the ef- fectsof war, so from a wealth of experience gained first as an actual participant in the war nearly a quarr ter of a century ago, and recently as that of a neutral observer, he is especially well equipped to speak on the i-matters which have occupied the entire attention of the world for the past eleven months. Having per- mission from the TLS. government to speak, he is not giving an official I opinion but solely that of a private citizen. Mr. Fortier, a graduate of St. Law- rence university, has had a notable career. Gradually working his way up in the service of the government he reached his position of great re- sponsibility as attache at the Amer- ican embassy in Paris for the treas- ury department. Should the present government of France be recog- nized and diplomatic relations be restored Mr. Fortier expects to re- turn to France in a capacity of still greater responsibility. For the pres- ent he is being detailed to Detroit, Mich., in a temporarily position, tak- ing over his new duties August 15th. Thursday noon at 12:15, Kiwani- ans will gather with a great deal of interest and anticipation. It is not \ay often that a speaker fresh from the center of world attention comes to the north country in such a short period of time. Mr. Fortier is an in- teresting speaker and his message will be of tremendous interest to every one fortunate enough to be present. Today, Cliff Haven will observe the Feast of the Transfiguration with a Pontifical Mass at 10 o'clock at which His Excellency, the Most Reverend James E. Kearney, D.D., of. Rochester will officiate. The soloists will be Mrs. George J. Gilespie and John Carroll who will be accompanied by Miss Clara Au- well who will play the harp. Miss Joyous ;;de..Eappe, the Cliff Haven organist, will be in charge of the choir. \ ' ' . Mr. Carroll will repeat his Sun- day evening concert this afternoon in the auditorium for the nuns from Plattsburgh. The eight-thirty Mass this morn- ing at Cliff Haven was said for the late Joseph Conless who for many years spent the entire summer at the Jersey Club. Tomorrow at 8:30, Mass will be said for the late Frank J. Mann who was also a guest at Cliff Haven for many seasons. On Thursday, the 8:30 Mass will be for the living and deceased mem- bers of the Cliff Haven Sanctuary Guild. On Friday evening August 9th, the Champlain Club will be the scene of the annual bazaar of the Alumnae Auxiliary Association. Always one of the red letter days at Cliff Haven, the bazaar this year promises to surpass the affairs of former years. V Plattsburgh G.L.F. Service, Inc. The Rt. Rev. Fulton J. Sheen will speak at Cliff Haven on Aug. 18 and 19th. All day yesterday, the Cliff Haven Golf Club was alive with activity as dozens of golfers started out to qualify for the annual Cliff Haven Golf Tournament. Ray Monahan, one of the many prominent golfers of former years who have returned for the tournament this season, handed in the lowest score, a 76. Jack Rofferty turned in an 81 and Father Dawson 87. .Certainly the most colorful player to qualify Vas Sidney Lane, known as the Iron Man of cliff Haven be- cause of his great fondness for and dexterity with the irons. Although his game was uneven, his approaches and putts were the sensation of the day. It would not be surprising if Mr. Lane were heard from in the tournament. ; Dorina Fox, former captain of the 'American Olympic bobsled team, and for many years \a strong con- tender for the Cliff Haven champi- onship is spending the week with Mr. and Mrs. George J.' Gillespie, Jr. Many of the guests of Cliff Haven have become much interested in the modern dances and are taking lessons each afternoon from the Ar- thur Murray dancing instructors, Miss Sheehan, Miss Meehan, Mr. Loervi, and Mr. Hines. South Amer- ican dance numbers are all the rage at the Tuesday and Friday night dances at the Champlain Club. Mrs. William H. Howley, widow of Dr. William H. Howley of New York who vacationed for many, years at Cliff Haven, has returned to the Summer School with Mr. and Mrs. Charles V. Halley, her daughter and son-in-law. Last night, the Rev. Joseph M. Dougherty, O.S.O., Ph.D., Dean of the School of Science in Villanova college, began a course of four lec- tures at Cliff Haven on the famous biologist of the 19th century, Gregor Mendel, abott of the Augustian Mon- astery at Brunn in Austria. Father Dougherty's topic was Mendel and His Times. The lecturer's topics for the week are: Tuesday, Mendel and His Work; Thursday, Significance of Mendel's Work and Friday, Modern Application of Mendel's Laws. All of the lectures will be illustraed with lantern slides, 'charts and diagrams. The eleven o'clock lectures this week are being given by Brother C.

Three years ago Roberts accept- ed a pair of polecats in payment of an account.

KASSEL'S AUGUST FUR SALE , (A6&7) ,'i's- niutomobiles- A* A w \When I started to sell cars twentysfive years ago there were few standards of values; Demonstia- tions, sales talks and explanations were long and complicated; \Today the public, as well as the distributors and manufacturers of automobiles, recognize cer- tain standards as a basis for comparing quality and performance; Power, construction, finish; speed and materials all have definitions that are recognized and accepted by the public as known values.'' T HE trend to which this merchant refers toward accepted, dependable standards, applies to other fields also. Take advertising for instance. Twenty-five years ago there was no approved measure for circulation values. Then the Audit Bureau of Circulations was organized in 1914, a national, cooperative association of. publishers, advertisers and ad- vertising agencies. For th» benefit of advertisers the Bureau makes an annual audit of the circulation records of all publisher members. Verified re- ports based on these audits show, for example, how many copies of a newspaper are printed, where they go and how distributed. These and other facts given in A. B. C. reports enable the adviser to compare circulation values and buy advertising on a business-like basis. Newspapers are ideal for automobile ad- vertising. People read the papers to keep up to date and all car owners and prospects are .vitally interested in the latest automobile news. Dealers have found from experience that their newspaper advertising will reach the right people and get attention. Added to that is the fact that their advertis-^ ing investment in an A.B.C. newspaper is pro- tected by the verified facts in A.B.C. reports* The result is effective advartising plus assur- ance that the advertisers get what they pay fori THE PLATTSBURGH DAILY PRESS This newspaper is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations!
