To say that was very proud to turn
over the check for $50, to the treasurer
Of Camp Good WILL" is not TO express
it. The showing made by the members
has been a source of much qualification
to me, and I know that IL has been s.
matter of great pride to you ALL
To-day We have more than $40, and
should be able TO reach the century mark
before the end Of the month.

it is rule Of the club, and must ueces-
