to Meet.

Starting Saturday last the Brook
lawn Country Club adopted a policy
that is strictly in keeping with the
war and the exegiencies of the coal
situation. There was a meeting of
the board of governors of the club
Oh Friday evening. At this time
there was a great deal of discussion
as to what was best to be done. The
social life of the club has come to
be great factor since the new club
house was built and Saturday was an
especially busy day as very little Red
Cross work is planned for Saturdays.
Many of the Country clubs in the
eastern part of the country have con-
formed to the expressed desire of the
Fuel Administrator like the big club
at Baltusrol and Piping Rock, keep
Ing only the grill open and this is
what the Brooklawn Country Club
plans to do. All of the social fixtures
planned for the month have been
cancelled and it is doubtful as to
whether or not there will be any
more regular programs made up dur
ing the winter months. There was
to have been another card party on
Saturday and quite a few had made
plans for week end guests for this fes-
iVity.
