note that its suggestion of some

is bearing fruit and receiving
the endorsement of mum Der of

working for their city's good.
The lending of enthusiasm
from the one to the other would
more than pay for all the

such a club. In this way all
the clubs federated would get
the experience of all the others
and thus accomplish much more
