HEIRONlMUS GIVES
CIVIC BODY LIFE

The West Richmond improvement
association gasped feebly and raised
its head yesterday. Members pro-
nounced the crisis past and announced
today that it will live.
When in danger of the ignominy of
inactivity through inability to interest
representative West Richmond resi-
dents, the association prepared to ex-
pire quietly. Not murmur was heard
for some time until N. c. Heironimus,
president last year, decided to try to
revive the lethargic body.
Some announcements will be made
next month, Mr.. Heironimus said today
after conference with members last
night. No meeting will be held in
September. The regular meeting
night formerly was the third Friday
night in every month.

Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel

NJ. Dusolier. the speed of the shepherd

English settlers and pointers hunt AT
