In the absence Of Tail Twister No
Mlcken Cub Dierkc was appointed to
fill that office. He did some ad-
mIrable work; he twisted the ten

as though it had been plated with

On ccount of Cub Secretary Boyer
being forced by circumstances to
change his residence from RawlinS
to Casper he rendered his resigna-
ton as secretary of the club. He
spoke glowingly Of the work the den
had lone and regretted the circum-
Stance which caused the change OF
his residence. In a few fitting re
marks the President accepted his
resignation and then the thirty Lions
present gave the resigning secretary

was in order. There were many
names mentioned and discussions
following the name of a candidate
were frequent and sometimes bitter
ly fought until the champion candi-
date was ordered by the president to
terminate his e]loQuence and give a
better man a chance. Then another
cub would step into the arena and
forcibly set forth his reasons why
his candidate was best fitted for the
honor and how adept he was at that
a%vocation. One candidate was pressed
for election on the grounds that he
had at one time Of his career been
private secretary to a t~oe-dancer and
snake charmer but his selection was
tobogganed with frigid ~politeness.
Then another and another and still
another would be selected and after
the Lion who made the selection had
e%xpatiated on the qualities OF his
candidate there would be that awful
silence that one can only experience
in a court room when the judge is
sentencing a man to be hung by the
neck until dead. The n bright
Lion addressed the chair and from
his lips rolled the name Of Clarence
Brimmer and thereupon in mighty
|. acclaim, in unison and at HI diapa-
son of their voices a OF was
! loosened from the threats of thirty
lusty lions and the name Of Clarence
A. Brimmer was enrolled as Sec
, rotary of the Lions Club Of Rawlins
In thanking the club for the honor
bestowed upon him Cub Clarence
stood before the den o. Lions witt
ewes sparkling and face flushed, in
spired by the demonstration giveE
him by his dominates. He gave {
stirring talk. lova! and convincing
and when he said that he was no,
worthy of the office of the secretary
of the Lions Club of Rawlins. Cui
Zeigler shouted: "Well make yoC
worthy Clarence" Cub Jake then
suggested to Tail Twister to fine Cub
Brimmpr ten cents for not feeling
worthy of the office.
Judge Tidball. a spirited Lion from
the Laramie Den. addressed the club
on Loyalty and Service. In part he
stated that every club had its barn
acles and that they were as useless
to a club as those which stuck to the
bottom of a ship: they simply hind
cred progress. 1t seems to me. said
the Judge. that Rawlins ought to
be proud Of its Lions club as while
sitting here watching the actions OF
the cubs while feeding there does not
seem to be a barnaCle among you. II
you work for the Lions Club as we'll
as you eat. said the Judge. the rest
Of the Lions Clubs in Wyoming will
be enviOus of your success in accom-
plishing movements for the public
welfare.
Secretary Lebhard. a singing Il
from the Laramie den. stated that in
giving the Rawlins club the once
over he believed that Laramie would
have to be in%oculated with All extra
dose Of pep to keep ahead Of the Raw
Inns club.
Cub Carlisle from the Cheyenne
den addressed the club on his efforts
to supply Rawlins with better water.
He unfolded his plans and left the
club with the feeling hat in the near
future Rawlins would have better
water. The local club is supporting
Cub Carlisle in this very commend
able enterprise and is behind him
to a man.
Mr.. Challman. National Bank
Examiner addressed the club. He
told OF the good work the Lions
! Clubs were doing throughout the
country. How, by their cooperation
with similar clubs, they accomplished
the almost impossible. He cited n
case in a small eastern city showing
that for twenty years a better fire
department had been needed and
eventually through the efforts Of the
local Lions Club this betterment was
