consciences would have been uncom
Portable, and of course, we would no
have enjoyed the meeting, ant
furthermore, would have cast a damp

Mr.. Rea was very complimentar!
to all who entered so heartily intt
the drive on Xmas week, and said WE
had reason to be proud of our chapt
er, Bay ST. Louis and Hancocl
County. He also referred to Lake
shore as they went far beyond oul
expectation.

thought we would have between 150(
and 1000 new members when all rec.
ords had been checked, and that al
holding Xmas memberships receipts
bring them to her Office and get g
permanent receipt.
