Plan GET-TOGETHER Dinner
Rock Island Family VIII Meet at C.
of G. on April 20.

A "Rock Island family get-together
dinner is to be held at the Chamber
of Commerce Wednesday evening,
April 20, to which all the employees of
the road in Topeka who can be spared
from the actual operating duties. have
been invited.
The object of the dinner is to get
better acquainted with each other and
to further the mutual interests of the
road and its employees. There will be
informal talks by several of the local
Rock Island men. The tentative list
of speakers includes Luther Burns,
legal, representative; E. F. Strain, di
vision freight agent; c. E. Bascom, city
passenger agent; D. Burleigh, station
master, and A Lusk, ei~t agent.
At the first meeting, there will be no
officials from outside Topeka, present.
1t is probable that a permanent or
ganization will be started Wednesday
night, and that arrangements will be
made fer holding one of the dinners
every month, with a program cot .3it-
tee appointed to see that speakers are
secured for tie different meetings.
For the first meeting, however, it
will be strictly a family affair for the
Topeka members of the Rock Island
