enough to be as active as he has al
ways been in the past.
The amount netted by the Macca-
bees has not as yet been officially
announced, but suffice to say good
ly sum was realized. The proceeds
of this years celebration Of Labor
Day will be appropriated to the Mac
cabees Building Fund, as it is the in
tention of this organization to erect
a hall building in he near future that
for spaciousness and attractiveness
will not be excelled.
