mously elected president of the teuer
alton club at a meeting OF the podIp
of directors held yesterday at the cruz
rooms. A committee waited on Dr'

nominations are affiliated through IN

represents in Los Angeles. Many otIler

tinuaIlv It is believed that under the
direction of DIR. Brougher the tedeIa-
ton club will not only be OF local IN
t1uence, but may become a leader IN
similar movements in the various cit
les of our country.
