antoists. The markers will consist OF 50
wos,den siqns and IA standards The cost
of the markers and standards will be $l34.
John LcCarpentier reported to the club
that the Street and Sewer directors had
announced that there were no funds avail
able for the purpose and that it would be
: fine thing for the KiwAnis Club to spend
some OF the money in s,ioh a way. The
question WAS discussed at some length and
then referred to the directors for action.
In the absence of Mayor Taylor, presi-
dent of the club, J. Writ Willis, vice-presi-
dent presided.
A. Rae du Bell, afouner Wilmingtonian,

he was boosting Detroit just as heartily.
He said that the fact that he was u

acquire new friends in the western city.
Illustrating how Wilmington is known
in Detroit, at least, MIR. du bell said he
met man ono day who offered TO take
him down town in his auto. MIR du Bell
accepted and said he was stranger.
Are YOU from Wilmington" asked the
man. MIR. du Bell said he was and then
asked how he had guessed 1T.
