Readjustment of government to rrginization and tho civic club as a factor in business el hies were discussed liy Leigh Newell, chairman of the Kiwanls education com mittee. In a talk In fore the club al the luncheon today. Among the phases of changed business conditions ho lunched on was tho fact that one out of every 17 persons in tho I'nited Slates Is now either directly or Indirectly dependent upon tho povcninn Jit for support. While this work could not be classified as non productive, It does come under tho head of administrative work, and it lilhrou.i the labor of Ihe other 16 that he is engaged in this type i work. One of the chief changes Is in the home, which used to be the ronrce of religious training and Instruction In conduct.
The responsibilities 1 lint once belonged prop erly to (he hom*o have gradually been assumed by the church and school. Mr. Newell outlined the functions of civic clubs In the readjustment which must be made to the new trend of organization which governs not only business methods but dally life. Among the guests of the dub were Judpe. McKean, C.
C. Sexton, both of Orlando, A. F. Camp, of (laliiesville, and F. 1).

BOARD MERGER PROPOSED BY REFORMED CHURCH Union of Reformed Church With United Brethren Church Favored in Report. 1NIDIANAPOLIS, May 24 -(P) A proposal to merge the board of publications and Sunday schools ith the board of Christian education was before delegates to Ihe synod meeting of Ihe Reformed Church of the United States here today. A challenge to the church to "carry on Its own work of religious cduactlon effectively or turn It over to the public school system" exists, according to the report of the board of publications and Sunday schools.
Union of the Reformed Church with the United Brethren Church and the Evangelical Synod of North America also was favored in the report. A report of the special committee favoring equal rights for women In the church was adopted at Thursday's session. Today's showing of "Orlando's Hero," tho local moving picture comedy, at the Heacham tbeater the last opportunity tor theater-poors to see this Interesting film directed by Don Newland with an all powerful cast cf local actors. The film Is pure comedy, eicel-lent in some features with views of busy spots In Orlando and interesting points In the county shown to good advantage. Some of the actors show iinte a comprehensive ability and get-up of the 1 film is pood.
Interior views taken of Ihe Heacham theater audiences during tho filming of the picture will be the particular Interest, as ill he the surging crowds 'at the taking of the automobile wreck at tho corner of Wall street and Or-nnpe avenue and the Interior views of the Reporter-Star plant. Other scenes along some of the main thoroughfares of the city will find many persons capable being recog nized by themselves and their friends. It is an odd experience for Orlando people to he able to pick themselves out of a moving picture film. The film Is shown under auspices of the Reporter-Star Just for the privilege of showing people what the city looks like In moving pic tures and how creditably a local cast with a minimum of experience and notice can produce such good results. That the film causes much merriment Is attested by the iniineriiiis outbursts of applause throuphoiit Its presentation.
The sttendance at the Heacham In the last two days lias broken all previous records. Nobody, not even the actors themselves, claimed to bo tho most highly press agented actors who ever trod the bright way of tho silver sheet. Hut the girls are mighty good looking, the men do their parts well, even the animals that are in the film come across with considerable class. The public will notice how beautifully Orlando shows Itself In movies. There are some striking looking persons iu this film, some funny enough to make one's sldis crack the moment they break into view, some tragically Inclined at the most absurd moments, some sneaking ever a smile when a frown ii Intended, some putting much skill Into their parts.
For instance, II. Carl Dunn's facial contortions are clever, Marlon (loggan' boldness Is a scream; Robert Howard's nonchalant air is hot stuff, and Ixila Franklin is as fascinating and pret ty as any screen Btar dares to he; Virginia Crenshaw's cleverness and personality will win you, while Mrs. A. P. Phillips, makes an "ideal wife," and the Utile kiddles are the sail of the earth.
One ci old expostulate and pes-tlculato on this production for ages mid apes from all kinds of anples, but the film ends today and the necessity likewise closes. See the film today not with any view of belnp hypercritical, but Just to have a Jolly pond tlma looking at familiar scenes and (aces and getting a kick out cf the proximity of everything. It does not do to like things from a great distance all the time, (let a close-up once in a while and pet out of the rut of thinking that for anything to lie interesting it must come from a stranger or from a long distance. Some of the best things in life arc rlpht at hand or ought to be. Woman Slayer of Priest Found Sane CANTON, May 24 (Pi-Mrs.
