 l Chairman Horace Humphrey of the committee on sidewalks. got up and re- quested that the members of his com mittee meet with him at his store at the earliest possible moment, to map out a campaign of sidewalk repair and con- struction that will guarantee a credita- ble sidewalk condition in the village by 1 the time the Fourth of July celebration brings it's crowds here, or at the latest in time for the bridge week demonstra- ton.
 Brother George Roger, chairman of the committee on Winsted expeditions, nominated Roscoe Benjamin, the Win sted horsomobile expert, for honorary membership in the Club. In reply to Clint Roraback's 8 inquiry as to Roscoe s claim to such 8 distinction, MT. Roger explained that the nominee had been real nice to the Canaanites who attended the Winsted banquet Friday night, ex- hiblting to them one of the most beauti- ful sunrises they had ever seen anywhere. The nomination was approved and re- fer=ed as usual to the committee on moral character.
 Dan Sweeney moved that the chair appoint committee on Saint Patriek's day to arrange for an appropriate obser- vance or the day.
 But Saint Patrick's day has gone by," said Brother Thurlough.
 II admit that some of them have, but not all of them, " retorted Dan with some spirit. of I remember rightly there will be another one next year, and we ought to provide for it."
 "Gat" DeHart seconded the motion, and the chair appointed as the Saint Patrick's day committee Messrs. John Rains. Joseph Ganci, George Roger, John Robinson Joe Kegler and Fred Gillette.
 Jay Underwood rose to inquire if the .Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps was to be instituted after the regular ses- sion. that evening. The chairman in- formed him that the conciliation com mittee was even then at work trying to l reconcile the two charter members who had withdrawn because theyfdidn't like each other, and it was hoped they might be persuaded to reconsider, as no other applicants. had been heard from and those two were absolutely necessary, to bring the number up to the required fifty. It was hoped, he said that the instituting ceremonies might be solemized at the next meeting. The fat member said he "caI' lated tn chairman didn't know much about wimmin's wrangles if he expected them two to git together putty quick an ax each others parding."
 On motion of nobody, the meeting ad- journed.
