January 24, 1930 == J. Hugh Edwards Public Service Company . Features Program of Neighbors Club dent prcve.nt JOn bureau and By Mrs. H. P. H. The Hon. ] Hugh Edwards, .disti'nguished · Welsh statesman, fnend andt biographer of Davi~. Lloyd 9'eorge and member of the Bnt1sh parliament during the last score of years, was the guest of Th~ Neighbors' ~lu~ of Kenilworth at the1r annual Mens 111ght meeting Tuesday evening. Iu an hour of brilliant, convincing speaking, Mr. Edwards reviewed the wonders of two centuries of scientific research which have witnesse d the coming of elec tricity, gas, medical advancement, the telegraph, the telephone, the automobile and th e airplane and most far reaching in it s effect of all, the radio. "But," declared Mr. Edwards, "idealism has not kept pace with the wonders of scie nce. \Vith the conquest of th e air came zeppelin raids, de stroying lins and homes; with th e conquest of the sea came submarines, taking their dreadful toll; with chemistry came stealthy, death dealing gases and the most costly and terrible war in all history ." · Mr. Edwards-and he has twice refu sed a icss democratic title-believes implicitly in the sincerity and honesty of purpose of the United States and Great Britain and feels that the principle whi ch has brought together th e epoch making Five Power Naval Di sarmament parley..! now in session in London, is sa fe in th eir hands. An afte r-taste of warm feeling f or the keen minded little \Velshman, with his li\'e ly. humor, remained with his audience who have become his friend s and \vho will long remember his visit Mrs. Charl es Howard Bent, the president of The Neighbors, greeted the guest of the evening with great ease, and charm, recalling the fact that the first mention of a "men's night" was made in 1895, the year of the founding of The Neighbors. ~frs. Bent presented as the opening part of the program, the Imperial Male Quartet of Chicago, a fini shed, seasoned, well-nigh perfect singing organization, which created an atmosphere of friendly receptiveness that found a ready r espo nse in the address of ~lr Edwards. At .the next afternoon meeting of The Xcighbors, on February Dr Ha!·ry A.
