Lewis. Plans were made to get new
members for the lodge and if things
materialize as outlined there will be
a large class for initiation before
long. If you want to be Woodman
now is a good time to get your name
in. We only have this one lodge for
men here; let's make it a hummer.
No one can fnd fault in the pro-
gress that Patch Grove has made in
the past three years. but it is like
the man that makes a little money,
it gives him a taste for more. Now
thai is the way with Us, we are not
satisfied yet. our wants are constantly
growing. We still have insufficient
hotel accommodations, have no meat
market and no barber shop, These
we must have and it is up to the good
people here to see that we get them
and get them at the earliest possible
moment. Now if you have noticed,
nearly all live towns are organizing
booster clubs to help build up their
towns It seems as though the time
is ripe for some sort of an organiza-
ton here. 1t would be a good thing
to get together once in a while and
talk over our needs and make sug-
gestions for the benefit of the town.
There are enough here that are in
.terested to get up good strong club.
Let's think it over. anyway.
