NI'I 'N" representative national clubs OF the
various European countries,
II q, certain that these great European

President Gary Is especially enthusiastic
usar this new plan to allow out Of town motor
Isis pn opportunity to benefit by the splendid

links there are thousands Of automobile

a TO be identified with Americas pioneer
romobie organization, but who would
.r' have enough Use for the clubhouse fea-
Hog Ot the organization TO warrant their
H''ug either active or associate members

oSt excellent one, both for those who sub
rIbe for the touring service and also for
