Plans were made at the dinner for
the big holiday meeting for which
kiwanian knight and a couple OF
accompiices are framing up an AL
legged entertainment program. The
general opinion is that entertain
ments OF any Kind are entirely su-
perituous as il ~ well-known fact
tilat the ladies will be present ON that
occasion.
Aside from the next meeting. the
principal topic of CONVERSE tion was
the een-iisht dash which seems to
precede every evening meeting, on
late. Many helpful suggestion were
made, but the proposition Was finally
boiled down To one of two plans OF
action.
one faction maintained that the
CLUB must hire some ground-fioor
hash house for the regular blow-outs,
as elevators were becoming as un-
certain hereaboats. az ,the liberty OF
moonshiners,
Another group was just as obsti-
nate ia claiming that the meeting
night must be changed Indications
arc that the electric current Is sub
Jcct To commissions only on Monday
afternoons. SO If the change IL kept
under cover. future meetings can
probably be held without serious
damage TO the heart-action Of stout
