words of those who initiate and do,
and that was the treat which the
Cubs attending this meeting receiv-

gave their point of view on matters
which are of interest to the Den, and
these views and ideas were OF the
same personal quality that have
made these men a success in their
undertakings.
Cub President Whitehead in thank
ing the speakers dwelt upon the good
