given cold out that I'm all probability the
next annual Burns gathering will be
held in the Congregational church in
which event no invitations will be
issued. Only members OF the club
and their families will be admitted.
It's lamentable fact that Mapleton,
with all its push and energy along
civic lines. has not been able to sue
cessfully grapple with this new opera
house question. Various plans have
been put forth from time to time by
members OF the club but none have as
yet received the needed support TO
carry il through. II looks. other things

ought to be a paying investment in a
town OF this size which has no place
