rbe pastime Club met Ihuusday
evening but took no action looking To-
wards the annual minstrel show the cluo
hives. and IL is likely this yearly leo
fire will be abandoned, or at least pass
cd am this winter One reason gwen lor
reaiectina the minstrels tins year -
that there was so much going on an
through the winter that there was no
sood opportunity TO present them. An
other reason is that many OF the Ola

drawn away from the club, while those
left and the new members are not so
much interested an minstrel shows.
